Chapter 1699

Sun Xiaohong came back to her senses and said awkwardly:

"It's not Li Xunhuan, it's A'fei."

Gu Hanyuan raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What happened to A'fei?"

Sun Xiaohong said with a tone of slight amazement:

"The fifth-ranked 'Iron Halberd Wenhou' Lü Fengxian on the 'Weapon Manual' wanted to challenge the imprisoned Li Xunhuan but was blocked by A'fei. As a result, he was actually defeated by A'fei, who had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. Now, everyone outside is saying that A'fei's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds and he defeated Lü Fengxian because he obtained Big Brother Gu's divine martial arts manual."

Sun Xiaohong had a personality that could not stay idle.

After confirming her relationship with Gu Hanyuan, she picked up the job of storytelling again.

However, the content of her storytelling this time was all related to Gu Hanyuan.

She did not go far, telling her stories almost entirely within the Xingyun Manor.

Because of Gu Hanyuan's arrival and the Plum Blossom Thief case, Xingyun Manor suddenly became the focus of attention for the Northwest Wu Lin.

Every day, countless Jianghu figures came.

After denouncing Li Xunhuan, who had almost been confirmed as the Plum Blossom Thief, they wanted to pay a visit to Gu Hanyuan.

How could Gu Hanyuan bother with these small-fry of the Jianghu?

As a result, Sun Xiaohong, who was guessed to be Gu Hanyuan's confidante, became a popular figure.

Every day, numerous Jianghu figures would come to support her storytelling.

Sun Xiaohong was like a fish in water, having the time of her life.

As time passed, the Jianghu status of those who came grew higher and higher.

Recently, several experts from the "Weapon Manual" had arrived.

Among them was the fifth-ranked "Iron Halberd Wenhou" Lü Fengxian.

Lü Fengxian was extremely self-respecting, arrogant, and narcissistic.

Bai Xiaosheng had listed his silver halberd as fifth in the "Weapon Manual," below the "Heavenly Machine Staff," the "Dragon and Phoenix Rings," the "Little Li Flying Dagger," and the "Songyang Iron Sword."

To others, this was an honor, but to someone like him, it was considered a great humiliation.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Machine Elder and Shangguan Jinhong both had Great Grandmaster cultivation.

Li Xunhuan and the "Songyang Iron Sword" Guo Songyang were only at the Grandmaster Realm.

Lü Fengxian believed that as fellow Grandmasters, with no significant difference in realm, it was impossible for him to lose to Li Xunhuan and Guo Songyang.

In particular, Li Xunhuan, who had the lowest realm among the three, made him feel even more unconvinced.

Therefore, Lü Fengxian had intended to challenge Li Xunhuan from the start.

Hearing the news of Li Xunhuan's return, he was ecstatic and rushed over to challenge him.

However, what he never expected was that a few days later, Li Xunhuan would be convicted as the Plum Blossom Thief and was about to be handed over to the imperial court for trial.

Once Li Xunhuan was in the hands of the imperial court, Lü Fengxian would not dare to make a move against him.

Therefore, his only chance to challenge Li Xunhuan was to do it before the imperial court's people arrived.

As a result, he unexpectedly lost to A'fei, who was guarding Li Xunhuan.

Ever since A'fei practiced the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" given by Gu Hanyuan, he no longer had bottlenecks in his internal energy.

In just a few days, he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm.

And because of the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art's" massive boost to movement speed and attack speed.

The power of A'fei's "Fast Sword" increased dramatically.

Caught off guard, Lü Fengxian was simply no match for A'fei. ===== CHAPTER 1701 =====
