Chapter 1629

In sharp contrast to this was the pressure everyone had put on Li Xunhuan when he tried to protect A'fei earlier.

So, reputation still needs strength as a guarantee.

Although Li Xunhuan was strong, he did not have an overwhelming advantage against Bai Xiaosheng and the others who were numerous.

After all, among these people, there was more than one Grandmaster expert like Bai Xiaosheng.

A flash of realization also crossed Long Xiaoyun's eyes.

The former her had indeed taken a detour.

Gu Hanyuan ignored the compliments of the crowd and asked gently:

"Understand?"

"Understand."

Gu Hanyuan saw Long Xiaoyun nod and smiled with satisfaction.

Schemes and tricks are not forbidden, but they must be guaranteed by strength.

Otherwise, they will only be broken by force.

After teaching Long Xiaoyun a lesson along the way.

Gu Hanyuan struck to unseal the acupoints on A'fei's body.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly revealed a look of surprise and lifted A'fei's upper garment.

A golden light shone brilliantly.

Gu Hanyuan smiled with an inexplicable meaning:

"So the 'Gold Silk Armor' was with you, A'fei?"

Wearing the "Gold Silk Armor" would not affect the sealing and unsealing of acupoints.

But being discovered by the peerless Gu Hanyuan made it seem very reasonable.

The crowd in the venue was in an uproar once again.

Especially the group of people who had escorted A'fei looked at each other in dismay.

They had actually brushed past the "Gold Silk Armor" just like that.

A'fei scratched his head embarrassedly:

"I had swapped the 'Gold Silk Armor' from the Black and White Snakes right from the beginning."

Gu Hanyuan didn't care about the process of A'fei obtaining the "Gold Silk Armor".

Instead, he said meaningfully to Li Xunhuan:

"Li Tanhua, I once said you shouldn't have come back. Look, this Plum Blossom Thief and the 'Gold Silk Armor' have appeared so abruptly by your side."

Li Xunhuan was startled upon hearing this.

His expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.

All these things proved that someone was targeting him.

He subconsciously looked at Long Xiaoyun.

However, Long Xiaoyun was still maintaining his surprise at the "Gold Silk Armor" appearing on A'fei.

It was Bai Xiaosheng who reacted first.

He said with great joy:

"I understand. The Plum Blossom Thief is Li Xunhuan."

Li Xunhuan frowned upon hearing this, but he did not interrupt Bai Xiaosheng.

He wanted to see what Bai Xiaosheng would say; perhaps he could find clues about the person targeting him.

Bai Xiaosheng first complimented Gu Hanyuan's wisdom and martial prowess.

He said somewhat fawningly:

"The Plum Blossom Thief started committing crimes more than ten years ago, and this Brother A'fei's age clearly doesn't fit. Young Master Gu must have seen through this flaw long ago, which is why he spoke up for him; Bai Xiaosheng admires you."

Gu Hanyuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Bai Xiaosheng's nonsense.

He watched the development of the situation indifferently.

Bai Xiaosheng didn't expect to get a response from Gu Hanyuan; he was just trying to ease the relationship.

After all, he was the leader of this group, and he feared Gu Hanyuan would settle the score with him.

He even specifically called A'fei brother, all for Gu Hanyuan's sake.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled confidently:

"Li Xunhuan began to withdraw more than ten years ago, and the Plum Blossom Thief also hasn't been seen for more than ten years; it fits the logic very well in terms of time. Moreover, the Plum Blossom Thief's unique skill is his hidden weapons, and Li Xunhuan's 'Little Li Flying Dagger' is known to all. The Plum Blossom Thief has brilliant lightness skills, is good at using hidden weapons, and is romantic by nature; these characteristics are extremely consistent with Li Xunhuan. As for being friends with Brother A'fei, it is clearly for the purpose of covering his tracks. After all, as long as he determines who has the 'Gold Silk Armor', he can deal with others unscrupulously. Brother A'fei is simple-minded and is most easily used by an insidious and cunning person like Li Xunhuan."

Bai Xiaosheng's words were reasonable and logical.

Let alone those who didn't know the truth, even Gu Hanyuan had to praise him for making sense.

It's funny to say.

Li Xunhuan's reputation for being romantic and sentimental came from the time he deliberately distanced himself from Lin Shiyin and lingered in pleasure houses.

In fact, if one were to follow Bai Xiaosheng's logic, there was another person who fit the conditions very well.

That person was Gu Hanyuan.

As long as one ignored the Plum Blossom Thief from more than ten years ago and treated him as another person who borrowed the name of the Plum Blossom Thief to commit crimes, it would become perfectly logical.

After all, Gu Hanyuan also appeared in the Northwest Jianghu when the Plum Blossom Thief appeared, and his reputation for being romantic and sentimental was known to all.

His peerless martial arts, whether it was lightness skills or hidden weapons, could be used at will.

And A'fei also respectfully called him "Big Brother".

However, after You Longsheng's fate, no one dared to question Gu Hanyuan at this moment.

Of course, more importantly, the setup itself was aimed at Li Xunhuan.

Lin Xian'er, Long Xiaoyun, and Bai Xiaosheng had long been in collusion.

Now that there was a reasonable explanation, everyone began to denounce Li Xunhuan one after another.

Li Xunhuan was unable to defend himself for a moment.

After all, these reasons were baseless; no matter how he defended himself, it couldn't overcome the word "suspicion".

"Suspicion" does not need evidence, and those who want to harm Li Xunhuan need evidence even less.

Long Xiaoyun was still there pretending to be righteous and defending Li Xunhuan, but it had a feeling of making things worse.

Lin Shiyin and Sun Xiaohong were both looking at Li Xunhuan with worry, but they couldn't help much either.

Li Xunhuan looked at the agitated crowd with a solemn expression.

A teasing voice suddenly rang in his ears from Gu Hanyuan.

"Li Tanhua, I said long ago that returning is stepping into a whirlpool. Look, hasn't this whirlpool arrived?"

Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly again.

In the few days since he returned, he had smiled bitterly more times than in the ten-plus years he lived in seclusion outside the pass.

Thinking that his original purpose for returning was to see Lin Shiyin once.

Now he had seen Lin Shiyin, but he hadn't had time to say a word before he was already facing the crisis before him.

Bai Xiaosheng saw that Gu Hanyuan didn't seem to have any intention of standing up for Li Xunhuan, and his heart settled instantly.

He shouted loudly:

"Everyone, let's take Li Xunhuan down first."

As for Li Xunhuan's words, "Everyone, give me some more time, and I will definitely find the Plum Blossom Thief," they were ignored by the crowd as a matter of course.

Facing the siege of the crowd, Li Xunhuan was somewhat stretched thin for a moment.

He dared not use his flying daggers; after all, once a flying dagger was released, it would surely take a life.

And once someone was killed by him, it would be even harder to explain.

Even if he could escape in the end, did he have to live with the infamy of the Plum Blossom Thief for the rest of his life?

A soft and weak voice suddenly rang in Gu Hanyuan's ears.

"Young Master Gu, can you help Cousin?"

A cold light flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes, and he asked playfully:

"Oh? Is Madam begging me?"
