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

"But if you, Brother Gu, were to take action, no matter how many schemes Long Xiaoyun might have, they would be useless, right?"

It's not surprising that Ah Fei would have this question.

Gu Hanyuan had already prepared his explanation, and chuckled indifferently:

"Heh, I don't think much of either Li Xunhuan or Long Xiaoyun, and I'm too lazy to interfere in their affairs. Besides, I also have to consider Shiyin and Xiaoyun's feelings. Giving Li Xunhuan a little hint is already out of consideration for the fact that his identity as the Plum Blossom Thief was framed and that he has done a lot of good deeds in the martial arts world."

He paused, then patted A-Fei on the shoulder and said, feigning concern:

"So if things are beyond saving, A-Fei, you don't need to force yourself to protect Li Xunhuan."

Unbeknownst to him, Afei, who had been greatly influenced by Gu Hanyuan, was somewhat moved by what he heard.

He felt that, apart from his mother, Gu Hanyuan was the best to him.

After being moved, Afei laughed heartily:

"Brother Gu, I understand."

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked, somewhat strangely:

"By the way, should I call Lin Shiyin 'sister-in-law'?"

Gu Hanyuan chuckled upon hearing this.

He said with a subtle smile:

"I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted. You can call her that next time you see her."

Afei's sudden burst of wit surprised Gu Hanyuan.

However, since the arrangements were already made, Gu Hanyuan had no interest in keeping him company in the cold wind.

He chuckled and said:

"I'm leaving. Ah Fei, take care of yourself and stay safe."

"Take care, Brother Gu."

Afei respectfully bid farewell, watching Gu Hanyuan's figure gradually disappear into the distance before returning to his cell.

He looked at the tightly closed cell door, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it and went inside.

Back in the inner courtyard of Xingyun Manor, Gu Hanyuan would not choose to sleep alone.

He naturally entered Lin Shiyin's room.

The still-burning candlelight reflects the mood of the room's occupant.

Gu Hanyuan embraced Lin Shiyin's soft, delicate body and teased her:

"Is Madam waiting for me?"

Lin Shiyin's bright, pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, and she said shyly:

"Who's waiting for you..."

Looking at the expectation hidden in Lin Shiyin's eyes, Gu Hanyuan knew perfectly well that she was just being stubborn.

He smiled sarcastically:

"It would be faster to ask about Madam's health directly."

After saying that, he picked Lin Shiyin up and carried her horizontally.

The candles that had been burning all night were eventually extinguished.

Chapter 725: Long Xiaoyun's Death and Lin Shiyin's Clear Stance

Lin Shiyin spent two days living like a newlywed.

By day, they indulge in romance and poetry; by night, they are locked in passionate embraces.

She radiated a captivating glow.

However, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but feel a little awkward looking at Long Xiaoyun sitting in Gu Hanyuan's arms as if it were perfectly natural.

The relationship between the three seemed to resemble both a family of three and Gu Hanyuan enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives.

Long Xiaoyun's coquettishness became increasingly skillful, and she would occasionally barge into Lin Shiyin's room, absorbing more of Gu Hanyuan's aura.

She even claimed that she didn't want younger siblings for the time being, and that she had to keep an eye on Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin's initial resistance, initially fueled by shame, gradually transformed into a helpless acceptance.

Sure enough, Long Xiaoyun smugly snatched a mouthful.

Lin Shiyin's efforts were once again in vain.

Of course, Lin Shiyin, whose face was flushed, probably didn't care much.

Gu Hanyuan's expression shifted, and he looked towards the door.

Sun Xiaohong shouted loudly from outside the door:

"Brother Gu, something terrible has happened!"

The women living in the inner courtyard knew almost everything about each other.

Therefore, locking the door becomes pointless.

Feeling anxious, Sun Xiaohong simply pushed the door open and entered.

The scene before her made her anxious expression freeze instantly.

31. His lips twitched, clearly showing his intense jealousy:

"Brother Gu, you really have a good time."

Because he had just won over Lin Shiyin.

Gu Hanyuan spent most of his time on Lin Shiyin.

Sun Xiaohong was naturally jealous because she didn't receive love from her lover.

It's no wonder that Gu Hanyuan favored one over the other.

Besides being busy with storytelling, Sun Xiaohong, at Gu Hanyuan's suggestion and with the tacit approval of the Heavenly Mystery Elder, has gradually begun to take over the Sun family's intelligence network, leaving her with very little free time.

Of course, in Gu Hanyuan's view, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets probably also had some intention of making arrangements for his own affairs after death.

At least according to the intelligence he received, the situation of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was not very good.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun playfully teased:

"Is Sister Xiaohong envious?"

Sun Xiaohong found Long Xiaoyun's smug look amusing.

However, she knew that Long Xiaoyun's smugness would soon fade.

Sun Xiaohong said solemnly:

"Xiaoyun, Long Xiaoyun is dead."

The words fell like a thunderclap in a clear sky.

The explosion left the mother and daughter in a daze.

The smug smile on Long Xiaoyun's face vanished instantly, and she asked incredulously:

"My father is dead? Why? Who killed him?"

Although Long Xiaoyun and Long Xiaoyun had a strained relationship, and Long Xiaoyun also looked down on Gu Hanyuan after being influenced by him.

But Long Xiaoyun is, after all, her biological father.

Upon hearing the news of his death, it was naturally difficult to accept.

Lin Shiyin's feelings were even more complicated.

Although they were husband and wife, Long Xiaoyun's death did not make her particularly sad.

After all, she didn't have much affection for Long Xiaoyun to begin with.

Moreover, she was used by Long Xiaoyun as a bargaining chip to exchange for the "Innate Sunflower Divine Skill" from Gu Hanyuan.

The last bit of affection we had was also exhausted.

The thought that she was probably still busy with her love affairs when Long Xiaoyun died made her feel even more embarrassed.

Her sense of ethics and morality made her feel somewhat guilty.

Gu Hanyuan was not surprised at all.

He thought to himself quietly:

"Is it finally here? Long Xiaoyun really hesitated and dragged it out until the last day before making his move."

If Long Xiaoyun had acted sooner, he might have had a chance to kill Li Xunhuan.

After all, Li Xunhuan had been immobilized for so many days, it would take him time to recover.

It will also take time for A-Fei to help Li Xunhuan retrieve the throwing knife.
