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

"What do you mean by that, Brother Gu?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly:

"I have heard that as long as I become sworn brothers with Li Tanhua, he will give me his beloved woman and his entire family's wealth. I wonder if this is true? I am just an ordinary man, and I am inevitably tempted by greed."

Gu Hanyuan's earlier statement about being brothers was not some kind of humorous joke.

Rather, it was for the sake of this moment's ridicule and sarcasm.

Li Xunhuan is highly skilled in martial arts, loyal and righteous, broad-minded, and heroic. He is the embodiment of justice and the epitome of chivalry.

He possesses the qualities a protagonist should have.

However, like many protagonists, he is indecisive and full of contradictions when it comes to relationships.

This applies to both friendship and love.

When the Demon Blade Sect was in peril, Li Xunhuan sacrificed himself to save his cousin Lin Shiyin, but he himself was severely injured.

Long Xiaoyun saved them at this moment.

Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun became sworn brothers from then on.

Long Xiaoyun, however, fell in love with Lin Shiyin, and his longing for her was so intense that it became an incurable disease.

At that time, Li Xunhuan was already engaged to Lin Shiyin.

Li Xunhuan was conflicted about this, and in the end, he pretended to be heartless and distanced himself from Lin Shiyin, lingering in places of pleasure.

Disappointed with Li Xunhuan, Lin Shiyin married Long Xiaoyun, who was devoted to her.

Li Xunhuan then gave his family fortune to Lin Shiyin as her dowry and left alone in a desolate manner.

On the surface, Li Xunhuan appears to be a man of great loyalty and righteousness, thus enabling Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin to be together.

In reality, it's nothing more than self-gratification.

Did he ever ask Lin Shiyin for her wishes?

How can you be happy if you marry someone you don't love?

Is it entirely Long Xiaoyun's fault that he's driven mad by jealousy?

What normal man could tolerate his wife deeply loving another man?

Objectively speaking, all the tragedies ultimately stemmed from Li Xunhuan's arrogant decision to give Lin Shiyin to Long Xiaoyun.

Li Xunhuan appears to be affectionate, but in reality, he is ruthless.

His virtue is admirable, but his self-satisfaction is despicable to Gu Hanyuan.

Strip away the protagonist's halo, and these protagonists all have their own problems.

Gu Hanyuan could trick people without any burden.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Since you don't want Lin Shiyin, and Long Xiaoyun is a despicable man with great ambitions but little talent, then I will take care of Lin Shiyin for you."

Gu Hanyuan secretly harbored designs on Lin Shiyin.

Li Xunhuan's expression turned extremely ugly.

Perhaps touched by Gu Hanyuan's words, he suddenly coughed violently.

It took him a long time to calm down.

Li Xunhuan gasped for breath and smiled bitterly:

"So, Brother Gu came here to mock me?"

Gu Hanyuan shook his head indifferently and said mockingly:

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Don't you dare admit what you've done? Besides, didn't Li Tanhua come back this time just to see your beloved woman one last time? If you knew this would happen, why did you give her up in the first place? And if you gave her up, why come back? It's just adding to your troubles, and in the end, you're only moving yourself. Although I, Gu, dare not consider myself a good person, I can't bear to see women sad. I'm only saying this because I feel sorry for Lin Shiyin."

Although Ah Fei, who was watching the show from the sidelines, did not understand the relationship between men and women, he also found it difficult to understand Li Xunhuan's actions.

He wandered the wilderness for many years and saw all sorts of wild beasts.

Wild animals must fight and compete for survival and mating rights.

Li Xunhuan's actions were completely contrary to what he had always seen and felt.

Surprisingly, he didn't dislike Li Xunhuan.

He even became interested in Li Xunhuan and silently observed their conversation.

"So Brother Gu has come for my elder brother and cousin. I understand. I will leave after I have met with Mr. Mei."

Li Xunhuan was heartbroken.

They mistakenly believed that Gu Hanyuan had come to persuade him to leave because of Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin.

Gu Hanyuan said with a playful look in his eyes:

"Li Tanhua, you've misunderstood. What I said before was the truth. After all, Li Tanhua, you're destined to be surrounded by women, and sooner or later, more women will be attracted to you. To avoid another Lin Shiyin, I resorted to this tactic of becoming your brother. Then, Li Tanhua can simply give that woman to me, and everyone will be happy, right? I just wonder if Li Tanhua still dares to be brothers with someone like me who has ulterior motives?"

Li Xunhuan's expression froze upon hearing this.

Gu Hanyuan's perspective was too unique, yet it was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart with each strike.

Her already haggard and heartbroken face turned even paler.

Gu Hanyuan said with a self-deprecating tone that he was one of the few people with ulterior motives.

He may seem lecherous, but he is actually open-minded and carefree.

Not only did Afei's eyes light up, but he also found Gu Hanyuan to be a very interesting person.

Even though Li Xunhuan felt a pang of pain in his heart, he found it difficult to feel any ill will towards him.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart, and forced a hearty laugh:

"Brother Gu is too kind. I do not know your esteemed name."

Gu Hanyuan said leisurely:

"My name is Gu Hanyuan."

Although Gu Hanyuan's tone was calm, his words struck like a thunderbolt.

Li Xunhuan and A Fei exclaimed in unison:

"The Three Immortal Swordsmen!"

Even Tie Chuanjia, who was extremely resentful of Gu Hanyuan, was astonished.

He couldn't help but suppress his original intention to speak up for Li Xunhuan.

After all, the difference in status is too great, so his words seem to lack confidence.

The battle at the Qing Dynasty palace not only cemented Wutian's reputation as a fierce and invincible figure, but also...

This also made Gu Hanyuan, who was already famous, truly a man known to all under heaven.

Not only Li Xunhuan, who lived in seclusion outside the Great Wall, had heard of his fame.

Even Ah Fei, who was just starting out in the underworld, often heard about his reputation from other people.

Coming to his senses, Li Xunhuan said with a wry smile:

"No wonder his martial arts are so superb, and his appearance and demeanor are so extraordinary. Indeed, rumors in the martial world say that Young Master Gu is a romantic and passionate man, deeply devoted to his female companions. He even once stormed the Southern Shaolin Temple in anger for the sake of Ren Yingying, the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect. No wonder he looks down on this coward."

P.S.: Bonus chapter for the Desert Hero's 10,000-coin reward.

Gu Hanyuan's style of doing things is completely opposite to Li Xunhuan's.

Although Li Xunhuan possessed the renowned "Little Li Flying Dagger".

However, he always persuades people with reason and virtue.

People in the martial arts world not only feared his unerring "Little Li Flying Dagger," but also respected his high moral character and prestige.

However, Gu Hanyuan has been in the industry since his debut.

Whether it was his angry confrontation with the Northern Shaolin Temple when he first entered the martial arts world, his fierce battle against the heroes at the Southern Shaolin Temple gathering to take Ren Yingying away, his forceful killing of Ao Bai and Dorgon in the Qing Dynasty palace, or even the near death of Emperor Kangxi.

Although not as unbridled as Wutian's.

However, their way of doing things is also forceful and domineering.

Some admire them, some revere them, and some fear them.

People in the martial arts world mostly fear power but not morality.

Gu Hanyuan's reputation is now much greater than Li Xunhuan's.

Li Xunhuan subconsciously changed his address for Brother Gu to the now commonly used title "Young Master Gu" to show respect.

At the same time, he finally understood why Gu Hanyuan had been so sarcastic and sarcastic towards him.

Furthermore, the two of them changed their demeanor.

Li Xunhuan, who was already lacking in confidence, became even more vulnerable.
