Watching A-Fei and Long Xiaoyun leave, Li Xunhuan felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

These two children should be at an age where they love to play and have fun.

But not only did Afei seem too mature, even Long Xiaoyun made him feel that she was not as simple as she appeared.

Lin Shiyin hesitated for a moment, still wanting to pursue the matter further.

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyun laughed and interrupted her, saying:

"Let the children play. Today, not only have you become sworn brothers with your three older brothers, but you've also returned from your pleasure-seeking adventure. It's a double celebration."

"Butler, bring the wine quickly! I want to drink and chat with my brothers!"

"Shion, you come and keep us company too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin had no choice but to temporarily put aside the matter of the child and had her maid help her to her seat.

Although she was unhappy about it, she had, after all, grown up in a wealthy family.

As the mistress of Xingyun Manor, she cannot be impolite.

The first thing that catches the eye in the back garden of Xingyun Manor is a pond.

The water in the pool had frozen over and was covered with a thin layer of snow.

A small bridge with red railings spans the pond.

Beyond the bridge lies a plum blossom grove.

Long Xiaoyun's face was flushed, as if she was somewhat excited.

He looked up at Afei and said:

"This is where I practice martial arts and play every day."

"I'm going to change into my martial arts training clothes."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and before Ah Fei could respond, he skipped and ran away.

They simply left Ah Fei there and didn't bother with him.

Afei paused, realizing this didn't seem like proper hospitality.

I don't know why Long Xiaoyun is so excited, it seems like she really wants me to teach her martial arts.

But the "three-headed arrow hidden in the sleeve" belonged to Long Xiaoyun himself.

Moreover, he used some tricks to get his hands on it, and then returned it to him as if it were a joke.

Logically speaking, Long Xiaoyun shouldn't be acting this way right now.

This kid is acting as if he's really obtained some incredible treasure.

Afei became more wary.

Long Xiaoyun's behavior was too abnormal.

Moreover, since we're unfamiliar with this place, it's best to be cautious.

A slight breeze stirred, blowing down a few plum blossom petals.

A faint, almost imperceptible fragrance wafted into my nose.

A corner of a small building was revealed as the branches swayed.

The small building was located behind the plum blossom grove.

This should be Li Xunhuan's former residence, "Cold Fragrance Abode".

Ah Fei pondered.

It was there that Li Xunhuan studied and learned swordsmanship in the past.

Now that Lin Xian'er has moved into Xingyun Manor, she is the current tenant there.

Now that no one is looking after me, I might as well search for "The Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers".

Our first destination was "Cold Fragrance Abode".

Logically speaking, Lin Shiyin should have hidden the "Lianhua Baojian" in a place like her study.

But hiding there would likely allow Long Xiaoyun to find it.

Therefore, Lin Shiyin would definitely not be so careless.

And since the other main bedrooms are also out of the question, there's only one left.

"Cold Fragrance Abode" remained empty after Li Xunhuan left for the border region until Lin Xian'er moved in.

This place is perfect for Lin Shiyin to store some old things.

It's still very early before Lin Xian'er moves in.

If Lin Shiyin really hid the "Lianhua Baojian" here, she probably wouldn't have had time to move it away yet.

So I chose this place as my first stop.

Whether Lin Xian'er is here or not is none of my business.

This stunningly beautiful woman, hailed as "the most beautiful woman in the world," was not particularly skilled in martial arts.

She was able to win over all sorts of men with her riding skills, which could melt their hearts instantly.

She took the "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers" and left on her own; she couldn't have stopped her.

Walking towards "Cold Fragrance Abode", Afei entered the plum blossom grove.

The fragrance of plum blossoms grew stronger and stronger.

It's probably because few people come here, or maybe it's because the snow fell heavily earlier.

In the plum blossom grove, there were no footprints or other traces on the snow.

Ah Fei snorted coldly in his heart.

Long Xiaoyun was indeed lying to herself.

If he really practiced martial arts here every day, how could there be no trace of it at all?

This kid, who knows what kind of bad ideas he's hiding.

Just then, a soft laugh suddenly came from the silent plum grove.

Afei's heart tightened.

The sword at his waist had somehow appeared in his hand.

With his enhanced hearing from the second level of the Mingyu Gong, he quickly identified the source of the sound.

There was no one there, only an ordinary plum tree.

Afei made a defensive gesture toward the plum tree from which the laughter had come.

"You'd better come out, sir, lest my sword have no eyes."

Ah Fei said.

Upon hearing this, a figure dressed in black and masked emerged from behind the tree.

Judging from his figure and height, he was half a head shorter than Ah Fei.

The black bodysuit looked bulky on him, which conveniently obscured his figure.

At this moment, Afei's "Complete Record of Ancient Martial Arts" popped up.

With a thought, he quietly glanced at the system.

[Lin Xian'er detected; cultivation technique detected: "Born with Alluring Charm"; analysis to begin.]

This person is actually Lin Xian'er?

Ah Fei was filled with doubt.

In broad daylight, what is this guy doing here dressed in such an eye-catching black outfit?

Moreover, what exactly is this mental cultivation method?

Looking at the "Complete Record of Ancient Martial Arts," since the analysis is not yet complete, the specific effects of this martial art cannot be seen.

Judging from the name, could it be that Lin Xian'er seduced so many top martial arts masters with this?

It seems to be correct.

Lin Xian'er's success was not solely due to her understanding of men.

And there's also the assistance of martial arts.

At this moment, Lin Xian'er, disguised as a man in black, seems to harbor a deep hatred for A Fei.

Those big, watery eyes that were exposed stared intently at Ah Fei.

Those captivating eyes were so alluring, they seemed capable of stealing a man's soul.

No man can resist it.

Any man who sees these eyes will only want to commit a crime against their owner.

Afei felt that even compared to the starry eyes of Yaoyue and Lianxing, these eyes would make the two sisters pale in comparison.

But now those eyes are filled with rage.

Lin Xian'er questioned A Fei in a deep male voice:

"So it was you who slandered my father?"

"What?"

Afei was taken aback.

Lin Mazi?

Thinking back for a moment, I realized that I hadn't made things too difficult for the housekeeper.

Is it really considered malicious slander to simply ask him to hand over a painting?

Besides, it was his own fault for not being able to control himself and for showing weakness.

Looking at Lin Xian'er's outfit, A Fei's mind raced.

Could it be that she wasn't talking about Lin Mazi?

I had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

With a composed expression on his face, he asked:

"Who are you, and who is your father?"

Seeing A-Fei's expression, Lin Xian'er's anger seemed to intensify.

She shouted angrily:

"You've already forgotten? You despicable scoundrel."

"My father is Qin Xiaoyi, whose fame resounds throughout the land and whose might shakes the world!"

"My name is Qin Zhong, the Jade-Faced Divine Fist."

Hearing Lin Xian'er mention these two names, A Fei was truly baffled.

Why would she impersonate Qin Zhong?

What good would it do her to stand up for Qin Chong?

Moreover, judging from the timeline, the Qin family father and son had only recently arrived at Xingyun Manor.

Lin Xian'er probably hasn't met the father and son yet.

Why did she impersonate Qin Zhong to stop him?

Before Afei could figure it out, a short sword gleaming with cold light appeared in Lin Xian'er's hand.

A-Fei's vision blurred, and Lin Xian'er had already stabbed him.
