He didn't realize what was happening until his wrist was gripped; the difference in their martial arts skills was like heaven and earth.

Li Xunhuan became even more curious about Gu Hanyuan's identity.

Gu Hanyuan sighed softly and said:

"It's a pity that Li Tanhua didn't have the chance to drink the best wine; otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if he died on the spot."

Li Xunhuan's physical condition was worse than Gu Hanyuan had imagined.

Heart meridian stagnation, and physical ailments.

Without treatment and care, he would die a painful death on his sickbed in less than ten years.

Gu Hanyuan also managed to discover that Li Xunhuan was a mid-stage Grandmaster.

Li Xunhuan's physical injuries were far less painful than his emotional ones.

In reality, Li Xunhuan's mid-stage Grandmaster cultivation level was a result of a regression in his cultivation; his peak cultivation level should have been at the Grandmaster level.

Moreover, this decline in cultivation level is continuing, and it will probably not be long before he falls back to the early stage of Grandmaster.

When his cultivation level drops to the Innate Realm, his body, which he is forcibly supporting with internal energy, will collapse, and he will soon die.

Gu Hanyuan withdrew his hand and said regretfully:

"We can only settle for second best and treat Scholar Li to a pot of slightly inferior wine."

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Hanyuan produced a bottle of wine in his palm.

This is "Osmanthus Wine" that Gu Hanyuan redeemed with 10 villain points.

It wasn't that Gu Hanyuan was stingy and unwilling to offer Li Xunhuan a more premium wine.

Li Xunhuan's body was already weak.

If you were to offer him a spirit wine like "Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow".

Excessive spiritual energy can not only fail to provide any restorative benefits, but it can also accelerate the body's collapse.

Gu Hanyuan has no intention of murdering Li Xunhuan yet.

Even if Li Xunhuan were to die, it wouldn't be now.

"Osmanthus Wine" also comes from the novel "Chinese Paladin" and was brewed by Li Xiaoyao's aunt, Aunt Li.

The material is ordinary osmanthus from Yuhang Town in the world of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The spiritual energy content in this wine is much lower than that of spiritual wines like "Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow".

The wine is mild, which is perfect for Li Xunhuan, who is too weak to tolerate strong tonics.

Even so, the "Osmanthus Wine" containing traces of spiritual energy is incomparable to ordinary wine.

The rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms can be smelled for miles around, making people feel refreshed and salivating.

Li Xunhuan was immediately drawn to the fragrance of osmanthus, and didn't even bother to consider Gu Hanyuan's ability to conjure objects out of thin air.

Even Ah Fei, who had been silently observing, couldn't help but swallow.

His youthful face flushed red instantly.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled:

"Young man, how about joining me for a few cups of this 'Osmanthus Wine'?"

Ah Fei said with difficulty:

"I can't afford it..."

His tone was noticeably more hesitant than when he had previously refused Li Xunhuan's offer.

He clearly wanted to try the "osmanthus wine" as well.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled:

"I overheard your conversation and know that you don't accept favors from others. This osmanthus wine isn't for free; I need to get some information from you. Let's exchange it equally."

Ah Fei was taught by Bai Feifei from a young age not to accept favors from others, which shaped his eccentric personality.

"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return. I will spare your life and let you fly away with me. Since life is unfortunate, I will sever all ties of love and hatred and leave you alone to never see you again until death."

The thirty-two-character note fully reveals the grudges and affections between Bai Feifei, Shen Lang, and Zhu Qiqi.

How could Gu Hanyuan let such an extraordinary woman go?

Afei remained silent for a moment, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He was aloof, but not inflexible.

Clearly, Gu Hanyuan's explanation convinced him.

"々. Okay."

Ah Fei replied succinctly.

Li Xunhuan smiled happily and said warmly:

"Why don't you two get in the car to avoid the wind and snow? I'm really craving this 'Osmanthus Wine'."

His drinking-obsessed appearance made Ah Fei smile faintly.

The three of them sat down in the carriage together.

The space inside the carriage was more spacious than I had imagined, and the three of us didn't feel cramped sitting down.

There was also a small table in the middle.

Gu Hanyuan then magically produced three exquisite porcelain cups and placed them in front of the three of them.

Li Xunhuan and A Fei had observed very carefully, but still couldn't find the slightest clue.

He couldn't help but marvel at Gu Hanyuan's mysterious and unpredictable nature.

The wine pot was tilted, and the "osmanthus wine" flowed out in a trickle.

The rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers immediately filled the entire carriage.

Even Tie Chuanjia, who was rushing to catch a whiff of the air outside, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Gu Hanyuan said with a light laugh:

"Please drink this cup, and then we can chat leisurely."

Upon hearing this, Li Xunhuan eagerly picked up his wine cup and took a sip, his eyes immediately lighting up.

"Good wine!"

He then downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Clear and mellow, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and an unforgettable aftertaste. Thank you to this friend for the wine."

Li Xunhuan repeatedly praised Yun.

Upon hearing this, Afei also drank the wine in his cup, reacting in exactly the same way as Li Xunhuan.

He praised her outwardly, but his heart was full of doubts.

What kind of information could we possibly glean from him about such exquisite wine?

Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly.

He said in a cryptic tone:

"Don't thank me yet. I'm not here to be friends with Li Tanhua."

Chapter 662: Gu heard that as long as one becomes sworn brothers with Li Tanhua, he will give away his beloved woman and his entire family's wealth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the carriage froze.

Tie Chuanjia, who was driving the carriage outside, also became alert and tense.

Li Xunhuan smiled dismissively:

"My friend has clearly come for my sake. If he says he's not here to be a friend, is he here to be an enemy?"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at A Fei, whose expression was solemn.

He chuckled and said:

"There's no need to be so nervous. Although I'm not here to be friends with Li Tanhua, I'm here to be brothers with him."

Gu Hanyuan's unexpected words elicited strange expressions from Li Xunhuan and A Fei.

Tie Chuanjia almost strained his back.

Li Xunhuan laughed heartily:

"It was I who was wrong. It is fate that we met. I am also very willing to be brothers with this... Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said meaningfully:

"Gu is not talking about ordinary superficial brothers, but brothers like Long Xiaoyun."

Upon hearing the name Long Xiaoyun, Li Xunhuan's smile instantly froze on his face.

He suppressed his smile and said:
