Chapter 1716

Hearing Gu Hanyuan say again that Li Xunhuan would die, A'fei asked with confusion:

"Brother Gu, with me protecting him, how could Li Xunhuan die? And once the imperial court's people arrive, no one will dare to touch him even more."

"A'fei, you have learned the 'Innate Sunflower Divine Art' and broken through to the Grandmaster Realm; you are indeed rarely matched in single combat, but you are not invincible after all. If one person cannot deal with you, can't they just bring more people? Moreover, if Li Xunhuan seeks his own death, you won't be able to stop him even if you want to."

Gu Hanyuan's indifferent voice was earth-shattering.

A'fei said in astonishment upon hearing this:

"Li Xunhuan, you want to seek your own death?"

Li Xunhuan remained silent upon hearing this.

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"Li Tanhua is not simply seeking death, he just wants to use this method to settle his grievances. Even if it means dying while bearing the infamy of being the 'Plum Blossom Thief'."

A'fei said in a daze:

"Brother Gu, do you also really feel that Li Xunhuan is not the Plum Blossom Thief?"

Gu Hanyuan said in a soft tone:

"Whether Li Xunhuan is truly the Plum Blossom Thief has actually lost its meaning. With ironclad evidence, unless the real Plum Blossom Thief can be found, any defense is useless. And as long as Li Xunhuan wears the hat of the Plum Blossom Thief, even if someone kills him out of indignation, at most they will only bear some consequences from the imperial court and offend Gu. However, after all, they would have the righteous cause of eliminating harm for the people, so even the imperial court and Gu would find it difficult to move against that person. Li Tanhua can also achieve his goal, am I right?"

Li Xunhuan finally stopped remaining silent upon hearing this, and said with a bitter smile:

"Young Master Gu is still as sharp as ever; I am convinced."

He hesitated for a moment, then his expression suddenly became firm as he said:

"Young Master Gu, I have a request."

Gu Hanyuan's gaze flickered slightly, and he said indifferently:

"Let's hear it."

A sharp light flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Please, Young Master Gu, take good care of Shiyin."
