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

"Young Master Gu, could you tell me about your deeds? I'm very curious."

Gu Hanyuan asked with a light laugh:

"Is Little Red Girl going to use it for storytelling?"

Sun Xiaohong, her beautiful eyes sparkling, asked with a hint of shyness:

"is it not OK?"

"That's perfectly fine. May I ask what questions Miss Little Red would like to know?"

This was originally a good thing for Gu Hanyuan, as it would better promote his reputation.

Moreover, it leveraged the power of the Sun family, a local strongman in the Ming Dynasty, which was more effective than if he had arranged for people to spread the word himself.

However, before Sun Xiaohong could ask what she was interested in, Long Xiaoyun pouted and hugged Gu Hanyuan's arm, saying sourly:

"Master, everyone has left. It's time to guide my cultivation."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled and gently patted Long Xiaoyun's jealous head, then suggested to Sun Xiaohong:

"I am also very interested in some of the legendary tales of the martial arts world. Miss Xiao Hong has traveled all over the country and has seen a lot. Why don't you stay at Xingyun Manor for a while and tell me about it?"

Now that Sun Xiaohong has arrived, Gu Hanyuan will not let her leave easily.

As for Long Xiaoyun's opinion, it can be ignored.

At this point, Gu Hanyuan was fully in charge of Xingyun Manor.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun pouted, feeling somewhat displeased, but ultimately did not disobey Gu Hanyuan's wishes.

Moreover, as Gu Hanyuan skillfully massaged her head, she squinted her eyes, looking quite pleased, and didn't bother to object.

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaohong hesitated for a moment before glancing at the old man of the heavens.

If she were to stay temporarily at Xingyun Manor, she would definitely stay in the inner courtyard, but Tianji Elder would not be able to.

Therefore, it's inevitable to feel hesitant.

The old man Tianji didn't care about that; he had already seen through Sun Xiaohong's intentions.

Although I don't really approve of it, I don't have any intention of deliberately stopping it.

Furthermore, there are some things he cares about that he needs to investigate.

Therefore, the old man of heavenly secrets smiled casually and said:

"Xiao Hong, you go ahead. Your second uncle needs to see me, so I should go check on him too."

Sun Xiaohong's second uncle, Sun Tuozi, has been away from home for over a decade, guarding a secret and keeping an eye on some people.

Neither of these two matters is trivial.

Sun Xiaohong had no intention of forcing herself to go with them.

Firstly, her martial arts skills are weak, and she could easily become a burden.

Secondly, by staying by Gu Hanyuan's side, he could ask for help if anything happened.

Sun Xiaohong said with some concern:

"Grandpa, please be careful."

Chapter 688: Three Girls and One Loli in Open and Covert Struggle

PS: 683 has been released.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He naturally knew who Sun Xiaohong's second uncle was.

Sun Hunchback, who could carry a mountain on his back without being crushed by it.

Sun Tuozi opened a small hotel not far from Xingyun-Zhuang.

He left the Sun family for more than a decade to keep a vow.

Even if they encountered the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets and Sun Xiaohong, they would not approach and acknowledge each other.

Now that Sun Tuozi has come to the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, it is clear that he has encountered a problem that he cannot solve.

Gu Hanyuan knew something about Sun Tuozi.

He was a renowned master in the martial arts world of the previous generation.

That is, the era in which Shen Lang lived.

Therefore, the secret that Sun Tuozi was guarding was also related to Shen Lang.

More accurately, it is the "Lianhua Precious Mirror" left behind by Shen Lang's friend Wang Lianhua.

Before Wang Lianhua, Shen Lang, Zhu Qiqi, and Xiongmao'er set sail, he intended to give the item to his friend's son, Li Xunhuan, asking Li Xunhuan to keep it safe for him. He also wanted to find a talented and virtuous disciple to be his successor. However, Li Xunhuan had to leave seclusion for some business, so the item was entrusted to Lin Shiyin for safekeeping.

However, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Lin Shiyin was never able to hand over the "Lianhua Baojian" to Li Xunhuan.

Sun Tuozi was guarding the "Lianhua Baojian" for Shen Lang's sake, to prevent it from falling into the hands of unscrupulous people.

After all, the "Lianhua Baojian" is extremely versatile; even someone with low martial arts skills would become extremely difficult to deal with once they obtained it.

The "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers" contains far too many insidious and vicious contents.

Besides the "Pitying Flowers Heart Method" and methods for healing and saving lives, there are many more poison techniques, disguise techniques, Miao witchcraft, and the "Mind-Control Technique" from Persia.

This information was very useful to Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan is currently actively searching for spiritual secret techniques to improve his cultivation method.

"Mind control techniques" is one of them.

This is yet another major reason why Gu Hanyuan is determined to have Lin Shiyin.

Gu Hanyuan also had some guesses about the person Sun Tuozi was watching.

Ranked second on the "Weapon Ranking," Shangguan Jin Hong is the leader of the Money Gang.

Or, to be more accurate, it's the Azure Dragon Society behind him.

After numerous clashes between the "Net of Heaven" and the Azure Dragon Society, they would naturally uncover some clues.

Given the information Gu Hanyuan already knew, it wasn't difficult to deduce this conclusion.

In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Hanyuan's biggest rival was the Azure Dragon Society.

After pondering for a while, Gu Hanyuan's lips gradually curved into a smile.

At this point, Sun Xiaohong and the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets had finished exchanging information.

Sun Xiaohong said with a slightly shy expression:

"Then Xiao Hong will have to trouble Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently:

"my pleasure."

He introduced Sun Xiaohong to Lin Shiyin and Lin Xian'er.

Add to that Long Xiaoyun, who clings to Gu Hanyuan's side.

When three women and a teenage girl got together, it was as if sparks were flying between them.

Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong are both women with outstanding acting skills.

The somewhat oblivious Lin Shiyin was completely unaware of the trickery involved.

Lin Xian'er kept calling her "good sister".

Sun Xiaohong also sweetly called out "Sister Shiyin".

At first glance, it looks like they have two more well-behaved and sensible younger sisters.

In reality, neither of them liked her.

Everyone agreed that Lin Shiyin posed the greatest threat, and Gu Hanyuan was also most interested in her.

Didn't you see that Gu Hanyuan had already made a move on her before?

Moreover, judging from the technique, it was clear that he felt a sense of unfinished business.

Lin Xian'er deeply resented that both Li Xunhuan and Gu Hanyuan, whom she had her eye on, liked Lin Shiyin.

Sun Xiaohong, on the other hand, believed that Lin Shiyin was promiscuous and had not only delayed Li Xunhuan but also seduced Gu Hanyuan.

At least on the issue of Lin Shiyin, the two women share the same stance.

Lin Shiyin was the most innocent, as she was still worried about the favor she owed Gu Hanyuan.

The peach, which had been thoroughly handled, still seemed to retain its texture and warmth.

This caused her to blush unconsciously from time to time.

Long Xiaoyun, just beginning to experience romantic feelings, was somewhat bewildered.

She just subconsciously didn't want anyone to steal Gu Hanyuan's attention.

She hated Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong.
