Chapter 1637: Self-directed hero saves the beauty

"Lady Long... Young Master Gu is also right."

Li Xunhuan looked at Lin Shiyin and said with difficulty:

"Thank you..."

Lin Shiyin mumbled in reply:

"Tanhua scholar Li is too polite."

This pair of former lovers spoke awkwardly.

Before long, they averted their gazes in unison.

Li Xunhuan looked at Lin Shiyin's reaction and couldn't help but feel that perhaps he was truly wrong to return this time.

He did not know that the reason for Lin Shiyin's awkwardness at this moment was focused on Gu Hanyuan.

Whether it was being taken advantage of in secret or that sudden smile just now, both made it difficult for her to let go.

Not to mention that she also owed Gu Hanyuan a favor that might require her to pay with everything.

In this situation, Lin Shiyin simply didn't know how to face Li Xunhuan.

Especially when she saw Long Xiaoyun, who snorted with disdain at Li Xunhuan's thanks, her heart became even more melancholy.

Gu Hanyuan observed the reactions of the two, his eyes full of playfulness.

He had toyed with the woman Li Xunhuan loved while taking advantage of his vulnerability, made him thank him, and then told him that he should really be thanking Lin Shiyin.

While the plan proceeded smoothly, it also satisfied the little bit of dark humor in the depths of his heart.

Perhaps it would be even more interesting when Lin Shiyin completely belonged to him.

Gu Hanyuan no longer paid attention to the awkward pair.

He ignored Long Xiaoyun, the true master of Xingyunzhuang, and issued an order to evict the guests.

"Since the matter of Li Xunhuan has been settled, Gu Mou will not keep you company any longer."

Bai Xiaosheng and the others saw that things had reached this point and had no choice but to say respectfully and helplessly:

"Young Master Gu, we take our leave."

Gu Hanyuan looked around, taking everyone's reactions into his eyes, and nodded indifferently.

The only one truly worthy of his attention was Sun Xiaohong, who looked disappointed and avoided his gaze.

Gu Hanyuan also guessed that Sun Xiaohong might have seen something.

Although this was a bit beyond expectations, it was not unfixable.

With a ghostly light flickering in his eyes, he looked around the crowd and soon found a suitable candidate.

At this moment, everyone was exiting in an orderly fashion.

A sturdy man with a gloomy face suddenly froze when he passed by Sun Xiaohong.

He looked at Sun Xiaohong gloomily and said:

"There's actually a little beauty here?"

The man had a copper glove that emitted a faint green light on his arm.

This glove was the "Green Demon Hand," ranked ninth on the "Weapon Manual."

But the man was not Yi Ku, who had just fought fiercely with Li Xunhuan.

Rather, it was his eldest disciple and also his illegitimate son, Qiu Du.

Yi Ku had given Qiu Du a "Green Demon Hand" for self-defense.

But this Qiu Du was a spendthrift; he intended to give the "Green Demon Hand" Yi Ku had given him to Lin Xian'er, whom he had fallen in love with at first sight.

However, before he could give it away, he was taken by Yi Ku to deal with Li Xunhuan.

Qiu Du didn't care about Li Xunhuan; he only cared about Lin Xian'er.

Seeing Lin Xian'er at Xingyunzhuang, Qiu Du hadn't even had time to happily fawn over her before he was dealt a heavy blow.

Like You Longsheng, he was someone who admired Lin Xian'er, and he had the same thoughts as You Longsheng.

He was jealous that Lin Xian'er kept her gaze on Gu Hanyuan.

It was just that he was a step slower than You Longsheng at the time; as a result, You Longsheng died, and he was also heartbroken.

Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Xian'er would likely become Gu Hanyuan's private possession.

Even if they really caught the Plum Blossom Thief, no one would dare to ask Gu Hanyuan for Lin Xian'er.

Qiu Du was resentful, unwilling, yet helpless.

If risking his life were useful, he would be willing to risk his life for Lin Xian'er.

But facing Gu Hanyuan, even risking his life was meaningless.

At this moment, it was as if someone was whispering in his ear:

"Lin Xian'er is gone, but there are plenty of other beauties. You have Yi Ku backing you, what kind of woman can't you get? Why bother fawning over them?"

Just as he was dazed by this whispering, he somehow noticed Sun Xiaohong, who was constantly lowering her presence.

Sun Xiaohong hadn't yet emerged from her disappointment when she suddenly saw Qiu Du looking over, and she warned vigilantly:

"What do you want to do!"

Qiu Du looked at the pretty face under Sun Xiaohong's plain attire, which seemed to overlap with Lin Xian'er's at a certain moment.

He instantly smiled evilly and said:

"What else could a man want when he takes a fancy to a woman?"

Saying this, he reached out to grab Sun Xiaohong.

The crowd that hadn't left yet was a bit dazed by the sudden turn of events.

Even Yi Ku, who was walking in front, didn't react for a moment when he turned his head and saw his illegitimate son suddenly attacking a woman.

But immediately after, his expression changed drastically.

If Qiu Du had taken a fancy to some woman on a normal day, he wouldn't have cared, and because he loved his son, he might even have helped.

But at this time and place, this was no time for Qiu Du to be presumptuous.

Gu Hanyuan was still on the scene.

Sure enough, a sharp shout rang through the field.

"Presumptuous!" ===== CHAPTER 1639 =====
