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

Compared to the day he was ridiculed by Gu Hanyuan in various ways in the train carriage.

This conversation was noticeably more amicable.

We talked about a wide range of topics, from all over the world.

Li Xunhuan could occasionally hear some absurd yet thought-provoking words from Gu Hanyuan.

He actually had a good impression of Gu Hanyuan, feeling that he had a unique temperament that set him apart from others.

If I had to describe it in a single sentence, perhaps only "I am the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk" would be the most fitting description.

It seems that in front of Gu Hanyuan, even his "Little Li Flying Dagger" has become just an ordinary person among the masses.

Li Xunhuan shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"If you want to quit drinking, you might as well kill me. Besides, I've always been curious about the even finer wine that Young Master Gu mentioned."

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Li Xunhuan, whose complexion was much better than when they first met, and said indifferently:

"Then Scholar Li must first recover his health. Otherwise, if Scholar Li dies after drinking it, wouldn't I be left with a bad reputation?"

"That's such a shame."

Li Xunhuan sighed deeply.

He knew that his illness could not be cured simply by recuperation; the real problem lay in his mental state.

As long as the heartache remains unhealed, any improvement in physical condition will only be temporary.

Li Xunhuan watched Gu Hanyuan, who was playing with his wine cup and occasionally taking a sip of osmanthus wine, looking relaxed and content.

I sincerely admire his carefree and natural demeanor.

He thought to himself:

"If something unexpected really happens, perhaps entrusting Shiyin to Young Master Gu would be a way out."

Li Xunhuan truly lives up to his name.

They are broad-minded and have a strong sense of sacrifice.

Always put yourself last in your considerations.

Gu Hanyuan didn't reveal much.

However, every clue points to a conspiracy targeting him.

The mastermind behind this conspiracy is likely someone he is unwilling to admit to.

This forced him to prepare for the worst.

The only person Li Xunhuan cared about was Lin Shiyin.

. ..... ...

Gu Hanyuan is the man who can protect Lin Shiyin.

Whether pushing his beloved woman into the arms of another man would stab him in the heart again was something he subconsciously ignored.

Gu Hanyuan half-understood the meaning in Li Xunhuan's eyes.

If Gu Hanyuan were someone who wanted to roam the martial world freely, he would definitely become his best friend.

Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan had to contend with heaven, earth, and man.

Li Xunhuan could only become a leek to be harvested by him, and a pawn to be manipulated by him.

Gu Hanyuan's expression shifted, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The rightful owner has arrived.

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, and the main gate of Cao'an Hall collapsed to the ground.

Clearly, an unpleasant guest has arrived.

Mei Er frowned and said:

"I'll go out and see."

With that, he turned and left.

Li Xunhuan, however, looked worried.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed with a dark light as he chuckled:

"Mr. Mei's martial arts skills are weak; he might not be able to handle such an unpleasant guest. Since Scholar Li is worried about his safety, why don't you go out with him and take a look?"

Li Xunhuan paused for a moment, then nodded after a brief thought:

"Young Master Gu is right. I'll go take a look right away. Please excuse me."

Gu Hanyuan watched Li Xunhuan's departing figure, his eyes growing increasingly playful.

Not long after, there was a commotion and a lot of clanging.

Gu Hanyuan strolled leisurely into the lobby, a fleeting look of pleasure crossing his eyes as he gazed at the scene before him.

He sighed softly:

"Li Tanhua's actions were a bit too ruthless. How are you going to explain this to Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun?" Ding asked.

Chapter 669: Wait, why are you a girl?

Chaos reigned in Cao'an Hall.

Li Xunhuan looked grim and was at a loss for what to do.

Mei Er was equally at a loss.

Zhang Xiaoyi lay down on the ground, clutching the wound on her palm.

Ba Ying supported Long Xiaoyun, whose arms were hanging limply and whose face was pale.

Several severely corroded areas appeared on the ground, along with some discarded hidden weapons.

Both the poison and the hidden weapon were Long Xiaoyun's creations.

The plot differs slightly from the original.

Mei Er was already dissatisfied when he saw that his front door had been kicked down.

Besides Li Xunhuan, the renowned Gu Hanyuan was also in the household.

He was much more confident and bluntly stated that he would not treat Qin Xiaoyi's injuries.

Having been humiliated by Gu Hanyuan, Long Xiaoyun, already in a bad mood, suddenly flew into a rage.

He used a hidden weapon to attack Mei Er.

Li Xunhuan came out and happened to see this scene, so he naturally taught Long Xiaoyun a lesson.

Qin Xiaoyi stepped forward to help, but was easily defeated by Li Xunhuan.

Before Ba Ying could even bring out Long Xiaoyun...

Seeing that Li Xunhuan had a weakness, Long Xiaoyun threw poison at him.

Li Xunhuan was nearly splashed in the face with the poison that had corroded the floor to a pulp, and he was immediately enraged.

No longer caring that Long Xiaoyun was still young, he felt that she was so ruthless at such a young age and would definitely be a menace when she grew up, so he took action and crippled Long Xiaoyun's martial arts.

Li Xunhuan's attack was noticeably more forceful than in the original story.

Not only did he dislocate Long Xiaoyun's two arms, but the meridians in her arms were also severed by his internal force.

Even his dantian was destroyed by a single palm strike.

Long Xiaoyun not only lost all her martial arts skills, but she will also never be able to learn martial arts again.

If they do not receive timely treatment, they may even be at risk of becoming disabled.

Ba Ying, with a stern but weak expression, shouted:

"You're dead! How dare you hurt Young Master Long? Do you even know who Young Master Long's father is? He's Long Xiaoyun, the Fourth Master of Xingyun Manor, a name known to everyone in the Northwest martial arts world."

Li Xunhuan's face turned pale, and he murmured:

Xingyun Manor...

Xingyun Manor was originally Li Garden, which was Li Xunhuan's home.

My home has been renamed.

His beloved woman and her older brother's child were also injured by him.

It all seemed to mock him for not coming back.

Just then, Gu Hanyuan appeared.

"It's you!"

Long Xiaoyun felt like she had run into Gu Hanyuan, this jinx, again.

Moreover, seeing his handsome and elegant appearance, Long Xiaoyun subconsciously didn't want him to see her disheveled state, so she turned her head away.

Ba Ying exclaimed in surprise at the opportune moment:
