Chapter 712

The number of people besieging Li Li Xunhuan was not small.

Even those who were originally guests at Wu Xingyun Manor joined in the attack.

Although the vast majority were just a rabble making up the numbers, there were also several grandmaster experts.

Iron Flute Master, "Green Demon Hand" Yi Ku, and Bai Bai Xiaosheng.

These three could fight to a draw with Li Li Xunhuan if he didn't use his flying daggers.

They were naturally no match for Li Li Xunhuan in his prime.

But now Li Li Xunhuan was plagued by illness, his realm had regressed, and there was no one to help him restore his state.

The only real threat was his flying daggers.

Yet the flying daggers could not be used.

As time passed, Li Li Xunhuan became increasingly disheveled.

A Fei didn't believe Bai Bai Xiaosheng’s rhetoric and wanted to help.

But at this moment, Gu Gu Hanyuan had not expressed his stance.

A Fei was simple, but not stupid.

If he were to help Li Li Xunhuan right after being saved by Gu Gu Hanyuan, it would inevitably look like he was an ungrateful wretch.

It would even make people suspect that he represented Gu Gu Hanyuan’s thoughts.

A Fei could not commit such an act of injustice.

Of course, A Fei was a person who valued relationships and righteousness; although it was not easy to directly help Li Li Xunhuan, if someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, he would stop them in time.

Therefore, A Fei, who had approached the battlefield, had already moved away from Gu Gu Hanyuan’s side.

Seeing that Li Li Xunhuan was showing signs of being unable to hold on, Lin Lin Shiyin could no longer suppress the worry in her heart and asked Gu Gu Hanyuan for help.

Hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s question, she was stunned for a moment.

However, she still said earnestly:

"Yes. I beg Young Master Gu to save Cousin."

Gu Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"But in what capacity is Lady asking me?"

This question really stumped Lin Lin Shiyin.

Because ignoring the factor of Long Long Xiaoyun, she and Gu Gu Hanyuan had only known each other for less than a day.

Even calling them friends would be a stretch.

Therefore, Lin Lin Shiyin had to look at Long Long Xiaoyun, who was being held in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s arms.

Seeing this, Gu Gu Hanyuan asked directly:

"Long Xiaoyun, do you want to save Li Li Xunhuan?"

Long Long Xiaoyun was already dissatisfied with the tangled relationship between Lin Lin Shiyin and Li Li Xunhuan.

She said angrily:

"I haven't even settled the score with Li Li Xunhuan for hurting me! Why should Master save him?"

Lin Lin Shiyin was choked upon hearing this.

There was indeed still unresolved conflict between Long Long Xiaoyun and Li Li Xunhuan.

Asking her to beg Gu Gu Hanyuan to save someone at this time was indeed forcing her.

And Lin Lin Shiyin knew well that Long Long Xiaoyun’s rebelliousness and willfulness would never listen to her persuasion.

Therefore, in the end, she still had to start with Gu Gu Hanyuan himself.

Lin Lin Shiyin’s beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and she said with full sorrow and weakness:

"Young Master Gu, I beg you. Can I owe you a favor?"

The sight of a beauty in tears would shake even the most hard-hearted man, especially a woman like Lin Lin Shiyin, who already carried a sense of sorrow and resentment.

However, this had no effect on Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Of course, Lin Lin Shiyin’s words had already achieved his goal.

Therefore, Gu Gu Hanyuan said faintly:

"Does Lady know that Gu Mou’s favor is not so easy to repay?"

Lin Lin Shiyin was stunned upon hearing this.

She naturally knew that Gu Gu Hanyuan’s favor was not easy to repay; after all, he was one of the world’s top experts.

As long as Gu Gu Hanyuan was willing to act, there were few things he couldn't do.

However, for the sake of Li Li Xunhuan, whom she could never forget, Lin Lin Shiyin had to say:

"Anything is fine, I beg you to save Cousin."

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully and whispered:

"Is even something like this okay?"

As these words fell, Lin Lin Shiyin’s eyes were shocked, and her pretty face flushed red.

And Lin Xian'er’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

Because she saw Gu Gu Hanyuan grab her peach.

"Young... Young Master Gu..."

Lin Lin Shiyin’s voice even stuttered.

Clearly, she never expected to encounter such a thing, and for a moment, she was completely at a loss.

"This is interest, and also a test; otherwise, who knows if Lady will regret it later?"

Lin Lin Shiyin’s pretty face became even more flushed, while Gu Gu Hanyuan’s expression remained as indifferent as ever, as if he were really just doing a very ordinary thing.

Long Long Xiaoyun, who was being held by Gu Gu Hanyuan, couldn't see the specific situation due to the angle, and asked while looking at Lin Lin Shiyin’s flushed face:

"What’s wrong with Mother?"

How could Lin Lin Shiyin let Long Long Xiaoyun know what was happening secretly at this moment?

As for exposing the truth, that was even more impossible.

With Gu Gu Hanyuan’s current reputation and status, even if the truth were exposed, others would only think that Lin Lin Shiyin was seducing him.

Not to mention that Lin Lin Shiyin was still counting on Gu Gu Hanyuan to save Li Li Xunhuan.

Besides, how would Long Long Xiaoyun and Li Li Xunhuan view her then?

This era is always unfair to women.

Rumors are like knives; they can kill.

Therefore, Lin Lin Shiyin had to endure the strangeness and sadness, and said with feigned composure:

"Nothing... Mmm!"

Lin Lin Shiyin’s beautiful eyes widened for a moment, startled by Gu Gu Hanyuan’s pushing his luck.

Long Long Xiaoyun thought Lin Lin Shiyin was worried about Li Li Xunhuan, and said unhappily:

"Does Mother really want to save that Li Li Xunhuan? I think he might really be the Plum Blossom Thief; what is there to save?"

Don't look at Li Li Xunhuan as if he had no worries about his life in the short term even if he were caught, as there was no evidence that he was the Plum Blossom Thief.

But once he was really taken down, where would there be a chance to defend himself?

Any fabricated evidence could put him to death.

Therefore, Li Li Xunhuan seemed not to be at a dead end, but in reality, he had no room to maneuver.

The only one who could save him was Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Li Li Xunhuan seems to be unable to hold on much longer, Lady, you don't have much time left. Lady, you wouldn't want Li Li Xunhuan to be branded as the Plum Blossom Thief and die unjustly, would you?"

Familiar words were spoken from Gu Gu Hanyuan’s mouth.

Even though he hadn't used them for a long time, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s business was still proficient.

Lin Lin Shiyin had always been a weak woman.

She was not a person of the Wu Lin, and had no heart for the struggles and killings of the Wu Lin.

However, she was indeed in the Wu Lin.

In the original story, she had always been playing out a tragedy, a victim of men’s struggles.

This time was no exception.

Her weakness was not only reflected in her mind.

Perhaps in another moment or two, she would collapse to the ground.
