Chapter 1717

Li Xunhuan did not know that Lin Shiyin had already become Gu Hanyuan's captive, and was requesting with a sincere attitude.

Gu Hanyuan naturally would not tell him the truth.

Instead, he chuckled with a hint of playfulness:

"Li Tanhua, do you know what you are saying?"

Li Xunhuan said frankly without wavering:

"I know that Young Master Gu likes Shiyin, and Shiyin... seems to have a very good impression of Young Master Gu as well."

Li Xunhuan appeared to have let go of the burden in his heart.

However, Gu Hanyuan keenly noticed that a flash of heartache still crossed the eyes of Li Xunhuan, who was feigning calmness.

Clearly, he was not as relaxed as he claimed.

Gu Hanyuan felt increasingly amused, but his tone became more and more indifferent.

"Gu admits to liking Lin Shiyin and is willing to take care of her. But Li Xunhuan, are you planning to entrust your orphan to me?"

Li Xunhuan finally couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He said with a bitter expression:

"Regardless of the outcome, it may not be a good thing for Shiyin. If I still have a chance, I will definitely repay Young Master Gu's favor."

The grievances between him and Long Xiaoyun must inevitably come to an end.

Originally, because he couldn't rekindle his old love with Lin Shiyin, he had the idea of generously facing death to fulfill Long Xiaoyun.

And the only thing he cared about in his heart was Lin Shiyin.

Li Xunhuan, having drunk "Nine Rhymes Forget-Sorrow," had a mind that became incomparably clear.

After clearing away the negative emotions in his heart, he suddenly realized that with Long Xiaoyun's shamelessness and viciousness, Lin Shiyin would not find happiness even if she continued to follow him.

Li Xunhuan was not stupid beyond redemption.

How could he not see that even if Long Xiaoyun wasn't the mastermind behind him being framed as the Plum Blossom Thief, he was definitely inseparable from it.

Just speaking of the night Zhang Xiaoyi died, the fact that Long Xiaoyun didn't leave anyone to monitor him but instead went to discuss with Bai Xiaosheng and Master Tiedi was the biggest suspicious point.

It was precisely because of this that Li Xunhuan had no alibi and couldn't prove his innocence.

It was just that combined with other ironclad evidence, the suspicious points on Long Xiaoyun became dispensable.

Li Xunhuan, who hadn't been able to see Long Xiaoyun's true face back then, couldn't rest easy with Lin Shiyin continuing to follow the despicable and shameless Long Xiaoyun.

Li Xunhuan didn't know who would win or lose in the grievances between him and Long Xiaoyun.

And regardless of who won or lost, it would be difficult for Lin Shiyin to have a good outcome.

If Li Xunhuan died, with Long Xiaoyun's shamelessness, it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't do something to Lin Shiyin in the future.

In fact, Long Xiaoyun had already used Lin Shiyin to make a deal with Gu Hanyuan, confirming this point.

If Long Xiaoyun died, Li Xunhuan couldn't bring himself to take care of Lin Shiyin while bearing the identity of her husband's killer.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan was the best choice.

And before this, he already had the inclination to entrust Lin Shiyin to Gu Hanyuan in his heart.

Now, it was just turning his thoughts into action.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Li Xunhuan, who was always self-moved, deciding on his own to entrust Lin Shiyin to him.

He felt incomparably mocked in his heart.

But on the surface, he sighed softly:

"Then Li Tanhua, you must try hard to survive, otherwise wouldn't Gu lose two favors?"

Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly:

"I will do my best."

At this point, both of them tacitly stopped talking and drank wine in silence.

A'fei's expression was somewhat shocked.

He didn't expect there to be so many things he didn't know about in this.

Especially the topic regarding Lin Shiyin made him look at Gu Hanyuan strangely.

However, the effects of the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" had already begun to appear, and A'fei was becoming increasingly dull and indifferent to the feelings between men and women.

Although he vaguely felt it wasn't quite right, he couldn't think of the reason why.

In the end, he could only give up thinking helplessly.

As for the grievances between Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun, he certainly supported Li Xunhuan.

Not only because Long Xiaoyun was indeed despicable.

But also because he was once again being influenced by Li Xunhuan's charismatic personality.

Gu Hanyuan had long anticipated this, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

It wouldn't be easy for Li Xunhuan and A'fei, who had lost many plot connections, to have the same brotherly bond as in the plot.

The current degree of influence was just right.

The three finished the "Nine Rhymes Forget-Sorrow," and Gu Hanyuan walked out of the room amidst Li Xunhuan's thanks.

After A'fei locked the prison door again, Gu Hanyuan signaled him to follow.

After walking a distance, Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"A'fei, you must be cautious and careful from now on; the closer it gets to the time the Six Fan Sect people arrive, the more dangerous it will be."

A'fei was startled upon hearing this and asked in a deep voice:

"Does Brother Gu know when the people from the Six Fan Sect will arrive?"

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and he said inexplicably:

"About three days. If Long Xiaoyun wants to strike at Li Xunhuan, he will act at the latest the day after tomorrow. Li Xunhuan's acupoints are sealed, and he has no flying daggers in his hand, so you can only rely on yourself to protect him."

"Brother Gu, rest assured, I will do my best to protect Li Xunhuan's safety."

A'fei answered very decisively.

However, his eyes were flickering slightly, clearly having some thoughts in his heart.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes...

His hints had not been in vain.

A'fei suddenly asked with confusion:
