Chapter 719

They would only think that the practitioner was pure-hearted and focused solely on martial arts.

A Fei had many romantic prospects, and there was also the massive pitfall that was Lin Xian'er.

If he wanted to keep A Fei under his control, he could not let him come into contact with Lin Xian'er.

And Gu Gu Hanyuan had previously keenly noticed that A Fei had looked at Lin Xian'er a few extra times.

Therefore, it was better to give the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" to A Fei as soon as possible.

How could A Fei imagine Gu Gu Hanyuan’s sinister intentions?

At this moment, he was showing joy and said gratefully:

"Brother Gu, thank you. But I cannot take your manual for nothing."

Gu Gu Hanyuan feigned contemplation before saying:

"How about this. Remember to tell me once you have news of your mother."

A Fei patted his chest and said:

"No problem."

He had no idea that Gu Gu Hanyuan was plotting against his mother, Bai Yan Feifei.

Because he had heard Gu Gu Hanyuan mention his mother repeatedly, and with such high regard.

A Fei believed that news of his mother might be very important to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Having received so many favors from Gu Gu Hanyuan, he already had the idea of taking the initiative to help find his mother... .

And this was exactly Gu Gu Hanyuan’s goal.

After all, A Fei had lived with Bai Yan Feifei for so many years; there would certainly be some clues.

It was far better than Gu Gu Hanyuan searching blindly like a headless fly.

Interestingly, everyone at the banquet, including Long Long Xiaoyun, was looking at the manual in A Fei’s hand with gleaming eyes.

They had not heard the conversation between the two.

But could anything Gu Gu Hanyuan brought out be an ordinary object?

It was just that, hindered by Gu Gu Hanyuan’s prestige, they did not dare to make a move against A Fei for the time being.

But how long would this fear suppress the greed in their hearts?

In Gu Gu Hanyuan’s view.

Once A Fei broke through to the Grandmaster realm and had a track record to back it up, these people would certainly be unable to restrain themselves from making a move.

It would be best if the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" fell into the Wu Lin.

This would not only stir up a bloody storm but also allow him to trap people without a sound.

And those most likely to obtain the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" were the so-called protagonists.

The "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" was incredibly powerful and could be considered a rare opportunity.

And the protagonist’s luck made it easiest for them to obtain such opportunities.

The side effect was also a mental castration that was far more subtle than physical castration.

In this way, it would save Gu Gu Hanyuan a lot of effort.

It was a pity that it was hard to give the "Innate Sunflower Divine Art" to Li Li Xunhuan for no reason.

Otherwise, it would have been even more perfect.

Li Li Xunhuan did not know that he had inadvertently escaped a disaster.

At this moment, he was still happy for A Fei and admired Gu Gu Hanyuan’s high moral character.

To be able to give away such a divine art so casually.

Li Li Xunhuan, having misunderstood Gu Gu Hanyuan’s character, felt his previous thoughts intensifying.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Young Master Gu, if anything should happen to me, please help look after Lin Shiyin."

A subtle, playful glint flashed in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes.

He said solemnly:

"Rest assured, Li Li Tanhua. Even if you didn't ask, I would take good care of Lin Lin Shiyin. After all, she is Long Xiaoyun’s mother."

"Thank you, Young Master Gu."

Li Li Xunhuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The "care" he spoke of was out of concern for Lin Lin Shiyin’s safety.

After all, the whirlpool he had stepped into was likely related to Long Long Xiaoyun, and it could easily implicate Lin Lin Shiyin.

However, the "care" in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words was naturally that all-encompassing kind of care.

The banquet ended, and the night grew deeper.

Everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Sun Xiaohong, having drunk some wine, had a slightly flushed face, looking bright and moving; even her simple attire could not hide it.

Under the bright moonlight, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s perfect profile seemed to be covered in a hazy glow, looking calm and elegant.

Sun Xiaohong was momentarily dazed, and accidentally stumbled, losing her footing.

Fortunately, Gu Gu Hanyuan caught her in time and asked with concern:

"Miss Xiaohong has had too much to drink, be careful."

Listening to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gentle words and looking into his concerned eyes, Sun Xiaohong’s heart pounded.

She said shyly:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, I did drink a little too much."

How could she be embarrassed to tell Gu Gu Hanyuan that she almost fell because she was staring at him?

As for the wine she drank, it was nothing.

After all, having traveled the world with the Heavenly Machine Elder for so many years, how could she not have some tolerance for alcohol?

At this moment, Sun Xiaohong seemed to understand what it meant to be drunk not by the wine, but by the person.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s handsome, immortal-like face was the most intoxicating wine, making one feel dizzy after looking at it for too long.

Sun Xiaohong did not know if she could count as having fallen for Gu Gu Hanyuan, but her favorability was certainly very high.

However, in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s view, this favorability of Sun Xiaohong’s was a form of idol worship.

Yet, longing was the most distant of distances, and too much idolization was actually detrimental to his conquest.

Therefore, Gu Gu Hanyuan took the opportunity to hold Sun Xiaohong’s slender, jade-like hand and said gently:

"This way, you don't have to worry about falling accidentally."

Feeling the warmth from her hand, Sun Xiaohong’s face burned, and the sudden blush even covered the redness caused by the alcohol.

Being held by the hand by Gu Gu Hanyuan and walking slowly through the quiet night made her heart flutter.

She asked shyly:

"May I call you Brother Gu?"

A change in address was a sign of a closer relationship.

Sun Xiaohong subconsciously wanted to get closer to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled gently:

"Of course you may."

Sun Xiaohong’s eyes shimmered, and with a beautiful, jade-like face, she called out:

"Brother Gu."

Gu Gu Hanyuan suddenly stopped walking, pulled Sun Xiaohong in front of him, and carefully examined her beautiful, bright face and sparkling eyes.

Under her shy gaze, he said gently:

"Xiaohong, you are truly beautiful."

Gu Gu Hanyuan rarely praised a young girl so directly.

After all, when a girl is shy, it is easy for her to fall into avoidance.

However, Sun Xiaohong’s personality was bright and generous, and such directness was even more suitable for her.

It could also perfectly bridge the obstacle caused by her longing.

Although Sun Xiaohong would be shy, she would not avoid it.

Just like how she bravely pursued her own love in the story.
