Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Ten years ago, the name Li Xunhuan represented a legend in the martial arts world. No one knew what level he had reached, only that his Little Li Flying Dagger never missed its mark. His most glorious achievement was killing a grandmaster from the Western Regions with a single slash!

From then on, the name Li Xunhuan represented both glory and trouble. He had enemies everywhere and was entangled in grudges. Most of the people who followed him did not have a good ending.

Qin Han, of course, knew the intricacies of the situation, and feigned displeasure, saying, "Hey, that's not right. Now that we're friends, how can a friend not know another friend's name? Do you think I'm the kind of person who hates trouble? Or do you look down on me, a wandering swordsman?"

Li Xunhuan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said slowly, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xunhuan."

After saying those three words, observe Qin Han's reaction upon hearing the name.

Shock?

Is it fear?

Or is it greed?

After all, the name "Little Li Flying Dagger" carried immense weight in the martial arts world ten years ago. After his flying daggers had never missed their mark and killed a grandmaster, he would cause a stir of grudges and feuds wherever he went.

Unfortunately, Qin Han didn't show any reaction on his face. He just said "Oh" lightly, as if he had heard an ordinary name.

That's it?

What does "Oh" mean?

Has this person never heard of Little Li Flying Dagger?

While he was still somewhat bewildered, Qin Han had already picked up the wine pot on the table: "Li Xunhuan, hmm... good name, sounds very auspicious."

He made up some nonsense, picked up the wine pot and filled Li Xunhuan's cup again, then poured himself a cup as well. "Come on, now that we know each other's names, we should have a good drink. What's so unfortunate about this name? It's actually quite auspicious. As the saying goes, 'Drink today, for tomorrow we may die.' I toast Brother Li."

Seeing Qin Han's nonchalant attitude and even his joking about his name, Li Xunhuan realized that Qin Han hadn't changed at all because of the name. Instead of stopping him from drinking, Qin Han poured him a glass. Li Xunhuan suddenly felt that this friend was quite agreeable.

Looking at the full glass of wine in front of him, a smile appeared on his lips, and a soft chuckle escaped his lips: "What a fine saying, 'Drink today, for tomorrow we die.'"

As the two clinked their glasses, Li Xunhuan continued, "A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. Brother Qin, let's drink together."

This time, he didn't even call him "Little Brother Qin" anymore, but directly addressed him as "Brother Qin," clearly acknowledging him as a friend, even though the two looked to be almost twenty years apart in age.

Li Xunhuan's unpretentious attitude, which disregards formalities and seniority in friendships, is incredibly comforting.

Qin Han thought to himself: It must be a pleasure to be friends with someone like Li Xunhuan. He possesses a unique charm that combines the elegance of a scholar with the chivalry of a knight-errant, and most importantly, he is sincere and never pretentious.

Just as Qin Han was in high spirits because of his acquaintance with Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan put down his wine cup, suddenly slapped his forehead, and said with some annoyance, as if he had remembered something. "Oh right, Brother Qin, you just said you were going to find an old friend on Mount Tian. Cough cough... You didn't actually go the wrong way. Mount Tian is in the northwest, in the area bordering the Southern Song Dynasty. I just passed by the foot of Mount Tian not long ago on my way back from beyond the Great Wall."

He pointed behind the carriage, indicating that this was the road they had come from. "However, it's completely dark now, and it's inconvenient for you to travel alone at night. You might as well come with me into the city and find an inn to rest for the night."

Qin Han was stunned when he heard this. He had been walking for quite a while, and now you're telling me that I didn't actually go the wrong way, and that I was just one step away from the finish line?

Wu Xingyun's main purpose in coming to Tianshan was to visit Lingjiu Palace and investigate the true nature of the Tianshan Child Granny. Wu Xingyun should currently be in a weakened state of rejuvenation.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if we miss it, we'll never have another chance to control Lingjiu Palace...

Qin Han put down his wine cup and looked seriously at Li Xunhuan: "Brother Li, the Tianshan Mountains you mentioned, is that the direction you came from? How long would it take to get there at full speed now?!"

Upon hearing Qin Han's words and seeing his serious expression, Li Xunhuan guessed that the other party must have something important to do, and he had to rush over even if it meant working through the night.

The most valuable thing between friends is mutual understanding. Since Qin Han had urgent business, he naturally wouldn't force him to stay.

Li Xunhuan nodded slightly, lifted the carriage curtain, and pointed to the wheel tracks behind the carriage: "Look, the wheel tracks are still there in the snow. If you ride your horse and follow these tracks, you won't get lost. I think your black horse is quite intelligent; it's been following the carriage the whole time. We haven't gone very far yet. With your horse's strength, we should be able to see the Tianshan Mountains in less than half an incense stick's time."

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Li!" Qin Han was grateful, but also a little annoyed. He had been so engrossed in drinking with Li Xunhuan that he had almost forgotten about the important matter. Fortunately, Li Xunhuan had brought it up himself.

Although the two had not known each other for long, their friendship, formed by chance, was very genuine. He clasped his hands in a respectful gesture to Li Xunhuan and said, "Thanks to Brother Li for informing me of the situation, I do have important business to attend to in Tianshan. I cannot return to Sichuan with you for a night of revelry, which is truly a pity."

Because he is currently without any roots or foundation, he could only leave behind a dashing silhouette when he encountered Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling. He also couldn't accompany Cheng Ying to Lu Family Village after going ashore...

Knowing full well that Li Xunhuan would next experience the Golden Silk Armor, the Plum Blossom Bandit, Long Xiaoyun's hypocrisy, and Lin Xian'er's ruthlessness...

To be honest, he was very interested in these grudges and feuds in the martial arts world. He wanted to see "Thousand-Man Slayer" Lin Xian'er with his own eyes, and he also wanted to see Lin Shiyin, the number one beauty.

He couldn't even take care of his wife, so naturally he had no time to accompany Li Xunhuan to see these things...

"Sigh," Qin Han sighed inwardly.

Ultimately, it's because they don't have any forces at their disposal that they're forced to withdraw and can't fully utilize their abilities.

"Take care." Li Xunhuan, unaware of Qin Han's thoughts, returned the greeting with clasped hands, then called out to the outside of the carriage, "Brother Tie, please stop for a moment."

"Whoa—"

The burly man with a bushy beard, who was driving the horse, immediately pulled on the reins, and the carriage quickly came to a stop.

Qin Han pushed open the carriage door, and a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed towards him. He jumped off the carriage, turned around, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the bearded man. Tie Chuanjia was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, worthy of respect.

He mounted his rather intelligent black horse.

"Brother Li, until we meet again!"

With a final farewell, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly.

"drive!"

The black horse neighed loudly and galloped away, following the axle tracks left by the carriage.

The sound of horses' hooves quickly faded away in the snowy night.

Inside the carriage, Li Xunhuan lowered the curtain, sat down, and poured himself another cup of wine.
