Chapter 1602

"How did you get ahead of us to Cao'an Hall?"

Gu Hanyuan said with disdain:

"Gu Mou came to drink with Li Tanhua. As it turns out, I'd already finished a pot of wine by the time you arrived late to ruin the mood."

Zhang Xiaoyi propped himself up and asked in astonishment:

"Li Tanhua? Could it be the Little Li Flying Dagger, Li Xunhuan?"

Li Xunhuan said with a slightly darkened expression:

"It is indeed Li Mou."

He turned to ask Gu Hanyuan:

"Is he truly the child born to Shiyin and my sworn brother?"

"Authentic and genuine."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, his smile becoming increasingly playful.

Li Xunhuan, however, looked utterly devastated.

He felt immense guilt for injuring Long Xiaoyun.

Li Xunhuan naturally would not have used such heavy force without reason.

It was because he had been influenced by the suggestion of Gu Hanyuan's "Soul-Shifting Technique" that he had lost his sense of restraint.

Li Xunhuan's mental state had a massive flaw; facing Gu Hanyuan's Soul-Shifting Technique, his Grandmaster-level cultivation was practically useless.

He had been influenced without the slightest awareness.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Li Xunhuan would have at most dislocated Long Xiaoyun's arm joints as a lesson.

Li Xunhuan said bitterly:

"Mr. Mei Er, please, I beg you to treat this child."

Upon hearing this, Mei Er sighed deeply and stepped forward to examine Long Xiaoyun's injuries.

He shook his head with a solemn expression and said:

"The dantian and arm meridians are destroyed; all martial arts are lost, and he will never be able to practice again. Li Tanhua's strike was indeed too heavy."

Long Xiaoyun, hearing this, looked as if his world had ended and wailed:

"I cannot live without martial arts! Mr. Mei Er, please, save me!"

Mei Er sighed:

"Setting your bones is no problem, but I am powerless against the injuries to your dantian and meridians."

Long Xiaoyun felt despair in his heart, his eyes welling up with tears.

Ignoring Long Xiaoyun's venomous and ruthless nature, his porcelain-doll-like appearance was indeed cute.

Seeing him with tears in his eyes like this made it hard for one to remain unmoved.

Gu Hanyuan found this quite remarkable.

An ordinary brat would have been throwing a tantrum, yet Long Xiaoyun was unexpectedly just weeping silently, which seemed somewhat out of character.

Gu Hanyuan had originally planned to show favor to Long Xiaoyun as a pretext to get closer to Lin Shiyin.

The play he had directed and performed, starting with the injury to Zhang Xiaoyi, was reaching its conclusion.

He spoke up at the right moment:

"Stop crying... I will treat your injuries."

Long Xiaoyun immediately stopped his tears and looked at the faintly smiling Gu Hanyuan with a slightly dazed expression.

Li Xunhuan was overjoyed:

"With Young Master Gu taking action, Xiaoyun will surely be able to recover."

Mei Er asked hesitantly:

"But what about the dantian and meridians?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled confidently.

"Since Gu Mou has agreed to help, I will naturally heal him."

Li Xunhuan saw that Mei Er still looked full of doubt.

He hurriedly explained:

"Young Master Gu's medical skills are superb; he previously applied acupuncture to me, which has made me feel much better lately."

Mei Er was stunned upon hearing this.

He suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is. No wonder your body, Li Tanhua, is much better than expected."

Previously, when Mei Er was treating Li Xunhuan, he had been full of confusion.

Logically, Li Xunhuan was very ill and should have been coughing incessantly like a consumptive ghost.

Yet, apart from being somewhat weak, Li Xunhuan's body was surprisingly well enough to drink wine.

Gu Hanyuan picked up Long Xiaoyun with ease and entered an empty room.

He looked down at the flickering eyes of Long Xiaoyun and said calmly:

"Behave yourself, or don't blame me if you suffer."

Long Xiaoyun curled his lip upon hearing this.

After all, the culprit behind this entire situation was Gu Hanyuan.

If Gu Hanyuan hadn't injured Zhang Xiaoyi at Juxianju, they wouldn't have brought Zhang Xiaoyi to Cao'an Hall for treatment, and Long Xiaoyun wouldn't have been injured by Li Xunhuan.

However, Long Xiaoyun ultimately said nothing, as he was still counting on Gu Hanyuan to treat his injuries.

With the "One Yang Finger" and the "Ten Thousand Phenomena Yin-Yang Art" at his disposal,

Long Xiaoyun's minor injuries were nothing.

Gu Hanyuan first set Long Xiaoyun's arm joints and then used the "One Yang Finger" to clear and reconnect his meridians.

Next, he would use the "Ten Thousand Phenomena Yin-Yang Art" to treat Long Xiaoyun's dantian.

Long Xiaoyun, having just regained the ability to move, was shocked when Gu Hanyuan reached to lift his clothes, and subconsciously fired a sleeve arrow.

Gu Hanyuan dodged the arrow and said coldly:

"It seems Li Xunhuan's lesson wasn't enough. And these messy toys are quite annoying."

With that, he moved with lightning speed.

With a clatter, Gu Hanyuan stripped Long Xiaoyun bare.

"Tsk tsk, sleeve arrows, money darts, butterfly darts, flying locust stones, poison needles—you really have quite a collection... Wait, why are you a girl!"
