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

Even those who were originally guests at Xingyun Manor joined in the attack.

Although the vast majority were just a motley crew to make up the numbers, there were also a few grandmasters among them.

Mr. Iron Flute, "Green Demon Hand" Yi Ku, and Bai Xiaosheng.

These three can be evenly matched without Li Xunhuan using his throwing knives.

They were naturally no match for Li Xunhuan at his peak.

However, Li Xunhuan is now plagued by illness and his cultivation level has regressed, and there is no one to help him gain experience and recover his condition.

The only real threat is the throwing knife.

Unfortunately, the throwing knife cannot be used.

As time went on, Li Xunhuan became increasingly disheveled.

Afei didn't believe Bai Xiaosheng's explanations and wanted to offer his help.

However, Gu Hanyuan did not express his opinion at this time.

Ah Fei is simple-minded, but not stupid.

If someone were to help Li Xunhuan without considering Gu Hanyuan's feelings after being rescued by him, it would inevitably raise suspicions of being an ingrate.

It might even lead people to suspect that he represents Gu Hanyuan's thoughts.

Ah Fei would never do such an unjust thing.

Of course, Ah Fei is a loyal and righteous person. Although he can't directly help Li Xunhuan, he will stop anyone who tries to take advantage of the situation to kill him.

Therefore, Afei, who had gotten closer to the battlefield, had already distanced himself from Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing that Li Xunhuan was showing signs of not being able to hold on any longer, Lin Shiyin could not suppress her worries and asked Gu Hanyuan for help.

Hearing Gu Hanyuan's question, he was stunned for a moment.

However, he still said seriously:

"Yes. I beg Young Master Gu to save my cousin."

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"But from what standpoint is Madam making this request of me?"

This question really stumped Lin Shiyin.

Because ignoring the factor of Long Xiaoyun, she and Gu Hanyuan had only known each other for less than a day.

Even calling them friends seems a stretch.

Therefore, Lin Shiyin could only look at Long Xiaoyun, who was being held in Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan asked directly:

"Xiaoyun, do you want to save Li Xunhuan?"

Long Xiaoyun was already dissatisfied with the complicated and tangled relationship between Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan.

He immediately said angrily:

"I haven't settled the score with Li Xunhuan for injuring me yet! Why should my master go to save him?"

Lin Shiyin was speechless upon hearing this.

There are indeed unresolved conflicts between Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan.

Asking her to beg Gu Hanyuan to save people at this point would indeed be asking too much of her.

Moreover, Lin Shiyin knew that Long Xiaoyun was rebellious and willful, and would never listen to her advice.

Therefore, in the end, we still have to start with Gu Hanyuan himself.

Lin Shiyin's beautiful eyes glistened with tears, and she spoke with sorrow and fragility:

"Young Master Gu, I'm begging you. Can I owe you a favor?"

Even the most hard-hearted man would waver at the sight of a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, especially a woman like Lin Shiyin who already carried a sense of sorrow and resentment.

However, this had no effect on Gu Hanyuan.

Of course, Lin Shiyin's words had already achieved his goal.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan said quietly:

"Madam, are you aware that favors I do are not so easily repaid?"

Lin Shiyin was taken aback upon hearing this.

She knew, of course, that it was difficult to repay Gu Hanyuan's favors, after all, he was one of the most outstanding masters in the world.

There are few things Gu Hanyuan cannot do if he is willing to help.

However, for the sake of Li Xunhuan, whom she could never forget, Lin Shiyin had no choice but to say:

"I'll do anything, please save my cousin."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled softly with amusement:

"Is even something like this acceptable?"

As these words fell, Lin Shiyin's eyes widened in shock, and her pretty face flushed crimson.

Lin Xian'er's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

This was because she saw Gu Hanyuan clutching the peach.

"Young Master Gu..."

Lin Shiyin even started to stutter.

She clearly never expected to encounter such a thing and was completely at a loss for what to do.

"This is interest, and also a test. Otherwise, who knows if Madam will regret it later?"

Lin Shiyin's pretty face grew even redder, while Gu Hanyuan's expression remained as calm as ever, as if he were simply doing something very ordinary.

Because of the angle, Long Xiaoyun, who was being held by Gu Hanyuan, couldn't see what was going on. She looked at Lin Shiyin's flushed face with a puzzled expression and asked:

"What's wrong, mother?"

Lin Shiyin dared not let Long Xiaoyun know what was secretly happening at that moment.

As for uncovering the truth, that's even more impossible.

Given Gu Hanyuan's current reputation and status, even if the truth were exposed, others would only think that Lin Shiyin was seducing him.

Not to mention that Lin Shiyin was still counting on Gu Hanyuan to save Li Xunhuan.

Besides, how will Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan view her then?

This era has always been unfair to women.

Rumors are like knives; they can kill.

Therefore, Lin Shiyin had no choice but to suppress her strangeness and sadness, and pretend to be calm as she said:

"It's nothing... um!"

Lin Shiyin's beautiful eyes widened for a moment, startled by Gu Hanyuan's audacity.

Long Xiaoyun thought Lin Shiyin was worried about Li Xunhuan, and said unhappily:

"Mother, do you really want to save Li Xunhuan? I think he might actually be the Plum Blossom Thief. What's the point of saving him?"

Don't be fooled by the fact that even if Li Xunhuan is captured, there's no evidence to prove he's the Plum Blossom Bandit, and his life is safe for the time being.

. ...... .......

But once you're captured, what chance do you have to defend yourself?

He could be put to death with just some fabricated evidence.

Therefore, although Li Xunhuan may not seem to be in dire straits yet, in reality, he has no room for maneuver at all.

The only one who can save him is Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly:

"Li Xunhuan seems to be nearing his end. Madam, your time is running out. You don't want Li Xunhuan to be branded as the Plum Blossom Bandit and die unjustly, do you?"

The familiar words came from Gu Hanyuan's mouth.

Even though he hadn't used it for a long time, Gu Hanyuan was still proficient in his work.

Lin Shiyin has always been a weak woman.

She was not a figure in the martial arts world, nor did she care about the struggles and killings within it.

However, she was indeed in the martial arts world.

The original storyline was a tragedy, with her being a victim of male rivalry.

This time is no exception.

Her weakness was not only mental.

Perhaps if she waited a little longer, she would collapse to the ground.
