Chapter 703

Gu Gu Hanyuan reached out and pinched Long Long Xiaoyun’s small face.

He said with a laugh:

"Take me to see your mother. To be able to give birth to such a charming and lovely Long Xiaoyun, she must not be an ordinary woman."

Long Long Xiaoyun smiled proudly:

"My mother is a great beauty, Master. Don't be stunned when you see her."

Listening to the voices fading into the distance, the crowd’s expressions were all a bit strange.

Thinking of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s reputation for being romantic and sentimental, which had spread throughout the world.

When they looked at Long Long Xiaoyun, they always felt that his green robe looked even brighter.

Both Long Long Xiaoyun and Li Li Xunhuan’s expressions were not very good.

It was just that their reactions were slightly different.

Li Li Xunhuan sighed bitterly.

Beneath Long Long Xiaoyun’s tightly furrowed brows, however, lay a light of inexplicable meaning.

Gu Gu Hanyuan, carrying Long Long Xiaoyun into the inner courtyard, felt a slight movement and suddenly slowed his pace.

"Cousin has really returned? Ah..."

With a delicate cry, a soft, graceful body immediately collided with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

The person who collided with Gu Gu Hanyuan was a beautiful woman in her early thirties.

Her complexion was slightly pale, and her body appeared too thin and fragile.

Although her eyes were bright, they held a sense of coldness and resentment.

Her grace and her temperament were truly incomparable.

So elegant, so noble.

No matter the circumstances, she could make people feel her unique charm; anyone who had seen her once could never forget her.

That beautiful woman was none other than Lin Lin Shiyin.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s deep eyes.

Lin Lin Shiyin was indeed a peerless beauty.

Especially that delicate and sorrowful temperament, which made one forget the mundane upon seeing her.

It was a pity that her frame was a bit too thin and weak.

However, if she could be well-nourished, the future would be promising.

At this moment, Lin Lin Shiyin was holding her chest, which was aching from the collision, feeling stifled.

It wasn't until she heard a familiar "Mother" in her ear that she came back to her senses.

"Long Xiaoyun?"

She looked at Long Long Xiaoyun in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s arms and was stunned.

In a trance, she thought she was dreaming.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s charming and lovely female attire was something she had never seen before.

After all, since Long Long Xiaoyun was very young, she had been raised as a boy because of Long Long Xiaoyun.

Even if Lin Lin Shiyin occasionally persuaded her to try wearing female clothes in secret, she would only be brushed away with disdain.

Looking at Long Long Xiaoyun, whose features resembled her own, Lin Lin Shiyin felt moved to the point of tears.

What surprised her even more was that Long Long Xiaoyun was being held so obediently.

Also, ever since Long Long Xiaoyun started being raised as a boy, she seemed to no longer be close to her parents.

She was always gloomy, pretending to be mature and acting like an adult.

It was a pity that in the end, she only learned the ways of Long Long Xiaoyun.

And she only learned the devious cruelty, not the superficial righteousness.

In the dead of night, Lin Lin Shiyin had wiped away tears countless times, feeling that she had failed in her duty as a mother and had not taught Long Long Xiaoyun well.

After all, most of her thoughts were focused on worrying about Li Li Xunhuan, so it was inevitable that she neglected Long Long Xiaoyun.

Just like how, upon hearing the news of Li Li Xunhuan’s return, she couldn't care about anything else and hurried to the main hall to see him.

As a result, she wasn't paying attention and collided with a strange man.

Under normal circumstances, men would not be invited into the inner courtyard.

Even Long Long Xiaoyun’s superficial brothers had never entered.

However, the man before her not only entered, but Long Long Xiaoyun was also very close to him, letting him hold her.

All these things indicated the man’s uniqueness.

And what surprised her even more was the man’s handsome, immortal-like appearance.

It wasn't that Lin Lin Shiyin hadn't seen handsome men; the spirited Li Li Xunhuan in his youth, the extraordinary Long Long Xiaoyun.

Li Li Xunhuan aside.

If Long Long Xiaoyun were ugly, he wouldn't have produced a Long Long Xiaoyun who surpassed her parents.

However, these two people were like clouds and mud compared to the man before her.

She even suspected that if the two were compared to him, they would feel ashamed of themselves.

Looking at his gentle smile, Lin Lin Shiyin felt a sense of girlish shyness, and a faint blush appeared on her slightly pale, pretty face for no reason.

For a moment, even the place where she had been hit felt a faint, burning sensation.

As the saying goes, a flirtatious act by an ugly man is called harassment, but a flirtatious act by a handsome man is called flirting.

Lin Lin Shiyin, who had been "unintentionally" flirted with by Gu Gu Hanyuan, was already making excuses for him in her heart.

She even blamed herself for being too focused on Li Li Xunhuan and not watching where she was going.

Lin Lin Shiyin didn't dare to look too much at Gu Gu Hanyuan’s handsome face, which was detrimental to her physical and mental health.

Lowering her gaze, she said with a look of joy:

"Long Xiaoyun, you’re back. Why are you wearing such a beautiful red dress? Didn't your father scold you?"

Long Long Xiaoyun curled her lips and said:

"He scolded me, of course, but Father doesn't dare to control me anymore."

As she spoke, she turned her head and kissed Gu Gu Hanyuan on the cheek with her beautiful, sparkling eyes.

She smiled charmingly:

"I have my Master to back me up now. And Master also said I should be myself; I really like this 'Fire-Washed Dress'."

"Master?"

Lin Lin Shiyin was stunned.

She looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was not much older than Long Long Xiaoyun and could even be considered a contemporary, and his excessively young, handsome face.

She couldn't imagine a master-disciple relationship.

In fact, the moment she saw Long Long Xiaoyun kiss Gu Gu Hanyuan, Lin Lin Shiyin had even absurdly guessed whether Gu Gu Hanyuan was Long Long Xiaoyun’s sweetheart.

Although Long Long Xiaoyun was young, it was not uncommon in this era.

After all, she had changed into female clothes; a woman dresses for the one she loves.

And Gu Gu Hanyuan was so handsome that she was dazed for a moment.

Therefore, such a guess was not without reason.

Wouldn't such a young master be teaching Long Long Xiaoyun martial arts?

But on what grounds could he back Long Long Xiaoyun up?

It wasn't until Long Long Xiaoyun proudly explained Gu Gu Hanyuan’s identity that Lin Lin Shiyin suddenly realized.

"Master is the world-famous 'Three Absolutes Sword Immortal'."

Lin Lin Shiyin was not ignorant.

She would send servants to inquire about Wu Lin news from time to time.

After all, strictly speaking, Lin Lin Shiyin had more right to be the owner of "Li Garden," which had been renamed "Wu Xingyun Manor," than Long Long Xiaoyun.

Most of the old staff of "Li Garden" followed Lin Lin Shiyin, except for those who were dismissed.

Of course, Lin Lin Shiyin didn't inquire about Wu Lin news because she was interested in the Wu Lin.

Rather, she was trying to find news about Li Li Xunhuan.

However, Li Li Xunhuan lived in seclusion outside the pass, and there was very little news to be found.
