Chapter 1625

Educating Long Xiaoyun about those things for young ladies was already imminent.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the front hall.

Dozens of Jianghu people were escorting A'fei, stating directly that he was the legendary Plum Blossom Thief.

They were discussing how to execute him.

And Li Xunhuan was trying his best to protect A'fei.

But facing so many people, he was somewhat unable to hold his own; after all, he was the only one speaking up for A'fei.

And Long Xiaoyun appeared to be supporting Li Xunhuan on the surface, but in reality, he was fanning the flames in secret.

Behind the crowd, Tianji Old Man and Sun Xiaohong were struggling with how to help Li Xunhuan and A'fei.

They had originally planned to find Gu Hanyuan's whereabouts, but by a stroke of bad luck, they ran into these Jianghu people escorting A'fei.

Naturally, the two would not believe that A'fei could be the Plum Blossom Thief.

These Jianghu people escorting A'fei were mostly hypocrites or petty thieves.

Their testimony had no credibility at all.

And the fact that Li Xunhuan was trying his best to protect A'fei further proved A'fei's innocence.

However, at this moment, the crowd was agitated, and A'fei seemed to have been nailed down as the Plum Blossom Thief.

How could Li Xunhuan watch A'fei die unjustly like this?

Just as he was preparing to use force to rescue A'fei.

He saw Gu Hanyuan walking slowly, holding a charming and lovely half-grown loli in his arms, followed by two beauties.

Sun Xiaohong, behind the crowd, felt a surge of joy upon seeing Gu Hanyuan.

Immediately after, she saw the two women behind him, and the joy on her face disappeared.

The radiant appearance of the two women made her feel somewhat inferior.

In reality, Sun Xiaohong's appearance was not inferior to the two women.

But she was just too plain, looking somewhat inconspicuous at first glance.

Tianji Old Man even took the opportunity to tease:

"That must be Lin Xian'er, known as the number one beauty of the Northwest Jianghu, right? Young Master Gu truly came for her. Didn't they come out together?"

Sun Xiaohong said angrily:

"Grandfather! Young Master Gu is not such a superficial person; it must be a coincidence."

Long Xiaoyun's face darkened for a moment upon seeing Lin Shiyin.

After exchanging a glance with Lin Xian'er, he said respectfully:

"To think that I have disturbed Young Master Gu; I am ashamed."

Gu Hanyuan ignored the wandering thoughts of Long Xiaoyun and teased A'fei:

"A'fei, is this the way you meant by becoming world-renowned?"

A'fei couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this.

"Brother Gu, I was framed."

"I naturally know you were framed; even if I couldn't trust you, I believe your mother wouldn't have raised you to be a scumbag like the Plum Blossom Thief."

Gu Hanyuan's righteous words made A'fei fall into deep thought once again.

He was even more curious about his mother's identity, to be able to earn such high praise from Gu Hanyuan.

In fact, the scene before them was entirely caused by Gu Hanyuan's intervention.

Many of these Jianghu people were those who would provide experience points to Li Xunhuan and A'fei in the story.

Originally, after Zhuge Lei, who was escorting the "Gold Silk Armor" used to deal with the Plum Blossom Thief, was killed by the Black and White Snakes, the "Gold Silk Armor" fell into A'fei's hands.

In the original story, these people in front of them, in order to obtain the "Gold Silk Armor," began to rush forward one after another to provide experience points to Li Xunhuan and A'fei.

Not only did it have no effect, but it also helped Li Xunhuan recover from his long-abandoned state and increased A'fei's massive combat experience.

Gu Hanyuan would not let these people send themselves one by one like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

After he intervened.

Although the "Gold Silk Armor" still fell into A'fei's hands, the news that spread in the Jianghu was that it had been obtained by Li Xunhuan.

With a clear target, these people attempted to snatch the "Gold Silk Armor" from Li Xunhuan's hands.

But what to do when Li Xunhuan's "Little Li Flying Dagger" had such a great reputation?

Gu Hanyuan connected these people together through the manpower of the "Luo Wang".

Of course, the process was very covert, and these people would only subconsciously think it was a coincidence that they met.

Simply put, it was to gather together to push the BOSS Li Xunhuan before dividing the spoils.

But what to do if they had no legitimate reason?

Let alone anything else, Li Xunhuan also had the status of a Tanhua scholar.

The imperial court of this world was not without the ability to control the Jianghu.

If they dared to strike at Li Xunhuan rashly, the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and the Hulong Villa would teach them how to behave.

Especially since Gu Hanyuan, in order to increase the strength of these people, had also brought in quite a few Jianghu sects and lone heroes through the "Luo Wang".

So this legitimate reason for the expedition became even more important.

After all, these people cherished their reputations even more.

It was also a plan revealed by the "Luo Wang".

A'fei and Li Xunhuan were friends.

First capture A'fei and slander him as the Plum Blossom Thief.

If Li Xunhuan didn't save him, his reputation would be ruined; if Li Xunhuan saved him, he would have a legitimate reason for the expedition—the best of both worlds.

A'fei suffered from a lack of Jianghu experience and was easily drugged, making the "Gold Silk Armor" completely useless.

And these people just brushed past the "Gold Silk Armor".

Now that the actors were in place, the big show was about to begin.

Gu Hanyuan formed a claw with one hand and sucked toward A'fei.

By the time everyone reacted, A'fei was already standing beside Gu Hanyuan.

"For your mother's sake, I will protect you today; no one dares to touch you."
