~7 min read 1,357 words

“Brother Gu.”

Long Long Xiaoyun said in surprise:

“I was just about to look for Young Master Gu; I didn’t expect Young Master Gu to have already arrived.”

After he finished speaking, he cast his gaze toward Lin Lin Shiyin.

The sight of her following Gu Gu Hanyuan like a little wife made Long Long Xiaoyun frown slightly, and his expression was not very pleasant.

Moreover, he always felt that there was something different about Lin Lin Shiyin.

He subconsciously thought of something, and his expression became incredibly conflicted.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked somewhat strangely at Long Long Xiaoyun, who didn’t know if he was wearing a green robe on purpose.

For a period of time recently, Long Long Xiaoyun had been busy on the surface with the Plum Blossom Thief and Li Li Xunhuan’s affairs.

In reality, Gu Gu Hanyuan had learned from Lin Xian’er that Long Long Xiaoyun still cared about the situation between Lin Lin Shiyin and him.

And had entrusted Lin Xian’er to help him gather information.

Long Long Xiaoyun was a very complex person.

He was undoubtedly a despicable and shameless villain.

Possessing the jealousy, fear, and desire for power that ordinary people had.

At the same time, he was also infatuated with Lin Lin Shiyin.

However, how much of Long Long Xiaoyun’s infatuation was truly loving Lin Lin Shiyin, and how much was out of hatred and jealousy toward Li Li Xunhuan?

That was why Long Long Xiaoyun’s actions in the original plot were very confusing.

Giving people the feeling that he wasn’t a good person, but also not evil enough to be thorough.

Even pretending to be a good person on the surface and making secret moves were done in an unclear way.

To the point that he was always being turned around by Li Li Xunhuan even when he had the upper hand.

And even in the end, when he was disgraced, he suddenly repented and went to save Li Li Xunhuan to clear his name.

His indecisiveness and lack of talent were evident.

Back to the present.

Long Long Xiaoyun was in awe of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s strength and also envied his power.

Over this recent period, on the surface, it seemed there was no difference.

In reality, Long Long Xiaoyun keenly noticed that many Jianghu heroes were much more respectful to him.

This was all based on the influence brought about by everyone learning of the master-disciple relationship between Long Long Xiaoyun and Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Long Long Xiaoyun also used this to win over quite a few people.

This made Long Long Xiaoyun fully understand Gu Gu Hanyuan’s terrifying influence.

Even with two degrees of separation, it still lent him such great power.

Long Long Xiaoyun, who craved power, naturally viewed Gu Gu Hanyuan as a shortcut.

Long Long Xiaoyun did indeed invite Gu Gu Hanyuan to a banquet every day.

However, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s response was always incredibly cold, looking as if he were unwilling to associate with him.

This left him disappointed and also incredibly regretful.

Because Long Long Xiaoyun was a girl, the relationship between father and daughter was not good.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s coldness became a matter of course.

Long Long Xiaoyun, who was jealous of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s power but could only offer a hot face to a cold tofu, was worried.

In the end, the romantic persona Gu Gu Hanyuan had intentionally created played a role once again.

Long Long Xiaoyun naturally thought of a beauty trap.

He initially considered Lin Xian’er.

However, Lin Xian’er and he were only in a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate one.

Why would Lin Xian’er sacrifice her own body to profit him?

In this way, Long Long Xiaoyun inevitably considered Lin Lin Shiyin.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s favorable impression of Lin Lin Shiyin was visible to the naked eye.

Even the strange looks many people gave Long Long Xiaoyun were all taken in by him.

But what could Long Long Xiaoyun do?

Should he go fight Gu Gu Hanyuan to the death?

If he had that kind of courage, he would have gone to fight Li Li Xunhuan to the death long ago.

In this situation, the mindset of Long Long Xiaoyun, the shameless villain, began to take effect.

He began to ponder the possibility of maximizing his benefits.

If Lin Lin Shiyin really couldn’t be kept, it would be better to use this to seek benefits.

But Long Long Xiaoyun’s love for Lin Lin Shiyin was not fake either; it was just blinded by his hatred for Li Li Xunhuan.

He couldn’t bring himself to offer Lin Lin Shiyin up with his own hands either.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s indecisiveness was fully reflected at this moment.

He wanted to get benefits from Gu Gu Hanyuan, but he wasn’t willing to pay the price.

The result of his hesitation became letting things take their natural course.

If something really happened between Lin Lin Shiyin and Gu Gu Hanyuan, he would then go negotiate to seek benefits.

If nothing happened, he could also find comfort in his heart.

However, Long Long Xiaoyun did not know that Lin Xian’er, who helped him gather information, had already become Gu Gu Hanyuan’s person.

Therefore, he only received news that Gu Gu Hanyuan and Lin Lin Shiyin were discussing zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and dance every day, and were having a pleasant conversation.

At first glance, it looked as if Gu Gu Hanyuan was trying to win over Lin Lin Shiyin, Yu Wanting to make her willingly change her affections.

Long Long Xiaoyun originally thought that Gu Gu Hanyuan was only interested in Lin Lin Shiyin’s beautiful body, but he didn’t expect that he wanted her heart as well.

However, he knew very well that Lin Lin Shiyin’s heart never belonged to him.

Even if she married him and gave birth to Long Long Xiaoyun, the one Lin Lin Shiyin loved in her heart was still Li Li Xunhuan.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s twisted hatred gave him a sense of pleasure in revenge.

“Anyway, it didn’t belong to me in the first place; it doesn’t matter if someone else takes it away, and I can still take revenge on Li Li Xunhuan.”

Such a typical idea of harming others without benefiting oneself grew increasingly intense in Long Long Xiaoyun’s heart.

The final result was inaction, letting the situation develop on its own.

Ever since Gu Gu Hanyuan moved into Xingyunzhuang, Long Long Xiaoyun had never stepped into the inner courtyard again.

However, when Long Long Xiaoyun really saw the changes in Lin Lin Shiyin, his mood became incredibly complex and conflicted.

He felt both the pleasure of revenge and heart-wrenching pain.

He thought Lin Lin Shiyin had already changed her affections, and it was very likely that she had lost her body as well.

But coming to his senses, he unexpectedly felt a sense of relief.

After all, the die was cast; next, he only needed to consider how to seek benefits from Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Gu Hanyuan ignored the changes in Long Long Xiaoyun’s expression.

He asked leisurely:

“May I ask the dharma names of these two masters?”

“This poor monk is Xinmei (Xinjian), greetings, Young Master Gu.”

The two old monks leading the Northern North Shaolin put their hands together and said respectfully.

The two appeared respectful, but in reality, their expressions were not very pleasant.

It was well known that Gu Gu Hanyuan and North Shaolin were not on good terms.

And with Gu Gu Hanyuan present, they couldn’t be the only ones in charge and issue orders.

But when truly facing Gu Gu Hanyuan, the two felt immense pressure.

They were already considering asking the Northern North Shaolin for reinforcements in their hearts.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes were deep, roughly sensing the strength of the two.

As expected of the North Shaolin Sect, any two who came out were masters of the Grandmaster realm.

Xinmei was a notch stronger than Xinjian.

After Gu Gu Hanyuan nodded slightly, he looked with a half-smile at Li Li Xunhuan, who had his acupoints pressed and was also tied up.
