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

Her admiring gaze immediately fell on Gu Hanyuan, who was patting her head beside her.

Long Xiaoyun's expression was gloomy.

He had no idea when Long Xiaoyun had taken on a master.

This unexpected turn of events infuriated him.

He was quite shrewd; seeing that Gu Hanyuan possessed an extraordinary bearing, he didn't dare to be the first to stick his neck out.

However, if he doesn't take the lead, there are plenty of others who are willing to.

The "Iron-Faced and Impartial" Zhao Zhengyi roared:

"Who are you? How dare you utter such arrogant words!"

However, when he saw the cold gaze directed at him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Zhang Xiaoyi was hurt by Gu Hanyuan, and she chickened out the moment she learned his identity.

Seeing that Zhao Zhengyi was about to court death, he hurriedly stopped him, saying:

"Uncle Zhao, you mustn't be rude! It is an honor for us to have Young Master Gu, the 'Three Immortal Swordsmen,' grace Xingyun Manor with his presence."

Thunder on the ground.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"The Three Immortal Swordsmen?"

"Gu...Mr. Gu!"

Zhao Zhengyi backed down much faster than expected.

Sweating profusely, he knelt on the ground and said fearfully:

"I am ignorant and blind. I hope that you, Young Master Gu, will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

At this moment, he no longer cared about the dignity of a chivalrous hero.

Gu Hanyuan's current status in the martial arts world can be described as a pillar of strength, and he is even considered by many to be the only young master who has the potential to rival Wutian.

Although Gu Hanyuan always upheld the order of the righteous path in the martial arts world, he acted in a domineering and forceful manner.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to suddenly kill him.

Moreover, the difference in their social standing is too great; even if Zhao Zhengyi were to die, no one would care.

After all, disrespecting the strong is a path to certain death.

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"Since you're blind, then take a pair of eyes yourself, and I won't hold it against you."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill enter their bodies and shivered from the cold.

Zhao Zhengyi looked miserable and tried to ask the crowd for help.

However, those who met his gaze all turned their heads away, not daring to look at him.

Even Long Xiaoyun was the same.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhengyi gave a bitter laugh and, under the pressure of Gu Hanyuan's cold gaze, had no choice but to gouge out his own eyes.

After all, being blind is much better than losing your life.

With blood streaming from his eyes, Zhao Zhengyi bowed in agony and said:

"Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan ignored him and said indifferently:

"Is there anyone who still wants to pay homage to Gu's disciple?"

Everyone, sweating profusely, respectfully replied:

"We dare not."

Gu Hanyuan picked up the still dazed Long Xiaoyun, walked over to Long Xiaoyun's side, and glanced at him.

Long Xiaoyun was so frightened that he immediately moved aside.

Gu Hanyuan placed Long Xiaoyun on his lap and sat down in the main seat.

A calm voice echoed throughout the hall.

"From now on, Xiaoyun will be my disciple and the only young lady of Xingyun Manor. Is there anyone who objects?"

"We dare not."

No one dared to object; at most, they would glance at Long Xiaoyun with somewhat ambiguous expressions.

It's easy to see from Gu Hanyuan's attitude that he doesn't like Long Xiaoyun.

The fact that Long Xiaoyun accepted Long Xiaoyun as a disciple has absolutely no relation to Long Xiaoyun.

It's shameful enough for a father to act like this.

After a moment of looking grim, Long Xiaoyun regained his composure, his ability to be flexible and adaptable taking precedence.

And his eyes were flickering slightly, clearly he was plotting something.

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Long Xiaoyun's hair and said softly:

“Once you become my disciple, you will be different from before. No one can force my disciple, and no one can prevent my disciple from being themselves.”

Long Xiaoyun came to her senses, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

His eyes were filled with filial piety and admiration.

Gu Hanyuan's imposing presence made her realize how laughable her past underhanded tactics were.

And how insignificant Long Xiaoyun, whom she used to regard as as tall as a mountain, was!

No matter how convincingly he acted, his status in the underworld couldn't compare to a single sentence from Gu Hanyuan.

Long Xiaoyun suddenly lost interest in inheriting Xingyun Manor.

Is this small plot of land, so easily obtainable, really worth her concern?

How ridiculous it is that she once vowed to dress as a man for the rest of her life for this tiny wish.

All the changes were brought about by the man in front of her.

That little girl's heart couldn't help but flutter.

Gu Hanyuan said calmly to Li Xunhuan, who was watching the show:

"Now that Li Tanhua is here, why don't you catch up with your sworn brother?"

Li Xunhuan couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's veiled sarcasm.

He looked at Long Xiaoyun with a complicated expression and said:

"Brother, I'm back."

Only then did everyone notice Li Xunhuan following behind.

The once-renowned "Little Li Flying Dagger" was completely rendered meaningless in front of Gu Hanyuan.

Long Xiaoyun skillfully concealed the shadow that flashed in his eyes, and with a joyful expression, put his arm around Li Xunhuan's shoulder and said:

"That's wonderful! Xunhuan, where have you been all these years? Shiyin and I have missed you so much..."

When Li Xunhuan heard the familiar name from Long Xiaoyun, his expression became even more bitter.

Gu Hanyuan's sudden action of picking up Long Xiaoyun drew everyone's attention again.

Gu Hanyuan said with a slightly amused expression:

"I have no interest in your brotherly drama."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and leisurely left with Long Xiaoyun, the half-grown little girl, in his arms.

No wonder Gu Hanyuan ignored everyone.

Rather, these people are indeed minor figures.

Their titles are all impressive, but their actual abilities are all inferior.

They're all just hypocritical idiots who flatter each other.

There are hardly any at the Innate Realm, so why should Gu Hanyuan care?

Long Xiaoyun leaned comfortably on Gu Hanyuan's shoulder and smiled sweetly:

"Master, I'll take you to see your mother. You'll definitely like her."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan's expression turned strange for a moment.

Long Xiaoyun didn't mean anything by it; she just felt that Gu Hanyuan was indifferent to Long Xiaoyun, so she wanted to find Lin Shiyin to ease the tension.

Although she also harbored resentment towards Long Xiaoyun, he was, after all, her biological father.

She was in a difficult position because her father and the master she admired had a bad relationship.

However, what Long Xiaoyun said inevitably seemed a bit strange.

This is especially true for Gu Hanyuan, who has designs on Lin Shiyin.
