Chapter 1608

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"Don't worry, I won't get involved in the grievances between you and Long Xiaoyun's father."

Li Xunhuan's expression became even more bitter upon hearing this.

Gu Hanyuan's meaning was obvious; he didn't think Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun's father could coexist peacefully.

Long Xiaoyun's face darkened upon hearing this, and she glared at Li Xunhuan.

Not only because she still remembered that her martial arts had been crippled by Li Xunhuan,

although it had ultimately led to the good result of becoming Gu Hanyuan's apprentice,

she still held a grudge in her heart.

She even lumped all the humiliation she had suffered at Gu Hanyuan's hands onto Li Xunhuan.

Moreover, she already knew Li Xunhuan's identity.

And the grievances between Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun's father were no secret.

Even the storytellers in the taverns were spreading it.

Long Xiaoyun didn't know the truth, but she naturally stood on the side of her father, Long Xiaoyun's father.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Long Xiaoyun and said calmly:

"Li Tanhua, aren't you planning to see Lin Shiyin? Why not go to Xingyunzhuang together?"

"Master!"

Long Xiaoyun was a bit anxious.

In her view, Li Xunhuan coming to see Lin Shiyin must have ill intentions.

Gu Hanyuan reached out and pressed down on her small head, saying pointedly:

"Even if Li Tanhua doesn't go to Xingyunzhuang, Long Xiaoyun's father will come to find him personally. Why go through all the trouble of back and forth?"

Li Xunhuan hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly:

"This... I understand. I will go to Xingyunzhuang with you. I still need to apologize to my sworn brother and Shiyin for injuring Xiaoyun."

Long Xiaoyun said angrily:

"Who cares about your apology."

However, she didn't stop Li Xunhuan from going to Xingyunzhuang together.

Gu Hanyuan's words clearly made her realize something.

In this world, Long Xiaoyun was clearly a bit more intelligent.

Long Xiaoyun ignored Li Xunhuan.

She hugged Gu Hanyuan's arm and walked out, acting like a spoiled child with a hint of flattery:

"Master, I'll take you back to Xingyunzhuang. I'll have my mother cook for you personally."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered, and he smiled playfully:

"It is rumored that your mother, Lin Shiyin, is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to cooking and singing. I really must experience it."

Long Xiaoyun failed to hear the hidden meaning in Gu Hanyuan's words and smiled proudly:

"My mother is amazing; she definitely won't disappoint you, Master."

Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Then how much of your mother's skills have you learned?"

Long Xiaoyun felt embarrassed upon hearing this and scratched her head:

"I haven't learned those things from my mother."

Gu Hanyuan slapped Long Xiaoyun's small hand away from her head.

He scolded coldly:

"Such actions are too unladylike; you are not allowed to do them again. And when you have time, you must learn properly from your mother, so you don't lose face for me."

Long Xiaoyun said aggrievedly:

"Oh."

Although Gu Hanyuan's tone of reprimand was cold, she was unexpectedly receptive to it.

Such a reprimand actually made her feel valued.

Unlike her mother, Lin Shiyin, who spent her days mourning the spring and autumn, or her father, Long Xiaoyun's father, who was busy forming cliques.

On the surface, they spoiled her, but in reality, the attention was simply not enough.

Long Xiaoyun raised a smile that was a bit more sincere and asked:

"Master, when will you teach me martial arts?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"I'll teach you when your behavior satisfies me."

Long Xiaoyun was a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

But she still promised:

"I will work hard."

Gu Hanyuan suddenly teased:

"I am very strict when I teach martial arts; if you don't meet my requirements, I'll have to teach you a lesson again."

Long Xiaoyun's face turned beet red upon hearing this.

The injury that had been healed along with her dantian suddenly felt a dull ache again, and she almost couldn't walk.

She covered her backside with her small hand and muttered shyly:

"But that's very cold."

Clearly, she had focused on the wrong point.
