In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan say again that Li Xunhuan would die, Afei asked in confusion:

“Brother Gu, how could Li Xunhuan die with my protection? Besides, once the imperial court arrives, no one will dare to touch him.”

“Ah Fei, you have learned the ‘Innate Sunflower Divine Skill’ and broken through to the Grandmaster level. You are indeed rarely matched in one-on-one combat, but you are not invincible after all. If one person cannot deal with you, can’t a few more people come? Besides, if Li Xunhuan is seeking death, you can’t stop him even if you want to.”

. ......... ...

Gu Hanyuan's indifferent voice was like a thunderclap.

Upon hearing this, Afei exclaimed in astonishment:

"Li Xunhuan, do you want to die?"

Li Xunhuan remained silent upon hearing this.

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"Li Tanhua wasn't simply looking for death; he just wanted to settle his score in this way, even if it meant dying with the infamy of being called the Plum Blossom Thief."

Afei was stunned and said:

"So Brother Gu also thinks Li Xunhuan isn't the Plum Blossom Thief?"

Gu Hanyuan said in a low, melancholy tone:

"Whether Li Xunhuan is truly the Plum Blossom Thief is no longer relevant. With irrefutable evidence, unless the real Plum Blossom Thief is found, any defense is futile. As long as Li Xunhuan bears the label of the Plum Blossom Thief, even if someone resentfully kills him, at most they will bear some responsibility from the court and the consequences of offending me. However, given his righteous cause of eliminating a scourge for the people, even the court and I cannot easily touch that person. Li Xunhuan will get what he deserves, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan finally broke his silence and said with a wry smile:

"Young Master Gu is as perceptive as ever; I am truly impressed."

He hesitated for a moment, then his expression suddenly became firm as he said:

"Young Master Gu, I have a favor to ask of you."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly:

"Tell me."

Li Xunhuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice:

"Please take good care of Shiyin, Young Master Gu." Ding.

Chapter 724: It would be faster to just ask about the lady's health.

Li Xunhuan, unaware that Lin Shiyin had already become Gu Hanyuan's possession, was earnestly pleading with him.

Gu Hanyuan naturally wouldn't tell him the truth.

Instead, he chuckled lightly with a hint of amusement:

"Li Tanhua, do you know what you're saying?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan remained unwavering and calmly replied:

"I know that Young Master Gu likes Shiyin, and Shiyin... seems to also have a good impression of Young Master Gu."

Li Xunhuan seems to have let go of his burdens.

However, Gu Hanyuan keenly noticed that a hint of heartache still flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes despite his feigned composure.

Clearly, he wasn't as relaxed as he claimed.

Gu Hanyuan found the situation increasingly intriguing, but his tone remained increasingly indifferent.

"Gu admits he likes Lin Shiyin and is willing to take care of her. But Li Xunhuan, are you planning to entrust your child to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He said with a bitter expression:

"Regardless of the outcome, it may not be a good thing for Shiyin. If I have another chance, I will definitely repay your kindness."

The feud between him and Long Xiaoyun must come to an end.

Originally, because he failed to rekindle his old feelings with Lin Shiyin, he had the idea of ​​sacrificing himself to fulfill Long Xiaoyun's wish.

The only person he cared about was Lin Shiyin.

After drinking "Nine Rhymes of Forget-Worries," Li Xunhuan's mind became incredibly clear.

After clearing away the negative emotions in her heart, she suddenly realized that with Long Xiaoyun's shamelessness and ruthlessness, Lin Shiyin would not find happiness even if she continued to follow him.

Li Xunhuan isn't hopelessly stupid.

How could he not see that even if he wasn't the mastermind behind being framed as the Plum Blossom Bandit, he was definitely involved with him?

The biggest point of suspicion is that on the night Zhang Xiaoyi died, Long Xiaoyun went to talk with Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Tiedi without leaving anyone to monitor him.

This is precisely why Li Xunhuan lacked an alibi and could not prove his innocence.

However, when combined with other irrefutable evidence, the doubts surrounding Long Xiaoyun became negligible.

Li Xunhuan, who failed to see through Long Xiaoyun's true colors back then, could not feel at ease knowing that Lin Shiyin would continue to follow the despicable and shameless Long Xiaoyun.

Li Xunhuan was unaware of who had won or lost the feud between him and Long Xiaoyun.

Regardless of who wins or loses, Lin Shiyin is unlikely to have a good outcome.

With Li Xunhuan dead, and given Long Xiaoyun's shamelessness, it's hard to guarantee he won't do something to Lin Shiyin in the future.

In fact, Long Xiaoyun had already made a deal with Lin Shiyin and Gu Hanyuan, which proves this point.

Even after Long Xiaoyun's death, Li Xunhuan couldn't bring himself to take care of Lin Shiyin while bearing the identity of her husband's killer.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan is the best choice.

Moreover, he had already been considering entrusting Lin Shiyin to Gu Hanyuan before this.

Now it's simply a matter of turning ideas into action.

Gu Hanyuan watched as Li Xunhuan, who was always indulging in self-pity, arbitrarily decided to entrust Lin Shiyin to him.

I felt utterly mocked.

But he sighed softly on the surface:

"Then you'd better try your best to survive, Li Tanhua, otherwise I'll be losing two favors."

Li Xunhuan smiled wryly:

"I will do my best."

At this point, both of them tacitly stopped talking and silently raised their glasses to drink.

Afei looked somewhat shocked.

He never expected there were so many things he didn't know about.

The topic of Lin Shiyin, in particular, made him look at Gu Hanyuan with a strange expression.

However, the effects of the "Innate Sunflower Divine Skill" have begun to appear, and A-Fei is becoming increasingly insensitive and indifferent to romantic relationships.

Although I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, I couldn't figure out why.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up thinking.

As for the feud between Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun, he would definitely support Li Xunhuan.

It's not just because Long Xiaoyun is truly despicable.

It was also because he had begun to be influenced by Li Xunhuan's personal charm once again.

Gu Hanyuan had anticipated this, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

With fewer plot connections between them, it's not easy for Li Xunhuan and A Fei to recreate the brotherhood they had in the story.

The current level of influence is just right.

After the three finished drinking "Nine Rhymes of Forget-Worry," Gu Hanyuan walked out of the room amidst Li Xunhuan's thanks.

After Afei locked the door again, Gu Hanyuan gestured for him to follow.

After walking a distance, Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Ah Fei, you need to be more careful from now on. The closer we get to the arrival of the Six Doors, the more dangerous it will be."

Upon hearing this, Afei was startled and asked in a deep voice:

"Brother Gu, do you know when the people from the Six Doors will arrive?"

A glint of malice flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes as he spoke in an enigmatic tone:

"About three days. If Long Xiaoyun wants to make a move against Li Xunhuan, he will do so no later than the day after tomorrow. Li Xunhuan's acupoints have been sealed, and he has no throwing knives, so he can only rely on you to protect him."

"Don't worry, Brother Gu, I will do my best to protect Li Xunhuan."

Afei answered very decisively.

However, his eyes were slightly flickering, clearly indicating that he had something on his mind.

A satisfied smile flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes upon seeing this...

His suggestion was not in vain.

Afei suddenly asked in confusion:
