Chapter 739

A'fei was stunned upon hearing this.

Although A'fei felt disappointed in Li Li Xunhuan and also believed that Li Li Xunhuan was the Plum Blossom Thief,

he had, after all, once had a good friendship with Li Li Xunhuan.

A normal person would probably guard against him secretly letting Li Li Xunhuan go.

He didn't expect Gu Gu Hanyuan to trust him so much.

Ever since he entered the Wu Lin, Gu Gu Hanyuan had taken great care of him.

Not only did he give him divine martial arts manuals, but he also trusted him so much.

This made A'fei very moved.

A'fei guaranteed with a resonant voice:

"Young Master Gu, please rest assured, I will definitely guard Li Li Xunhuan well."

Gu Gu Hanyuan nodded and smiled:

"I believe in you."

The matter was thus settled.

A'fei took Li Li Xunhuan away to imprison him.

Li Li Xunhuan was quite calm, with almost no reaction throughout the process, except for glancing at Lin Lin Shiyin before leaving.

However, at that time, Lin Lin Shiyin was looking at Gu Gu Hanyuan with soft eyes.

This made Li Li Xunhuan sigh in his heart and unexpectedly feel relieved.

At least, no matter what the final outcome was, Lin Lin Shiyin would have Gu Gu Hanyuan to take care of her.

This open-mindedness was indeed rare among the many protagonists.

Everyone held a banquet on the pretext of celebrating the capture of the Plum Blossom Thief and cordially invited Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing this, Gu Gu Hanyuan did not refuse.

After all, in the matter of the Plum Blossom Thief, he was indeed the one in charge.

Even if he looked down on these fame-seeking, hypocritical people, he needed them to build momentum and spread his reputation.

Lin Lin Shiyin and the other women did not stay to accompany them and returned to the inner courtyard.

Sun Xiaohong frowned and said:

"Could 'Little Li Flying Dagger' really be the Plum Blossom Thief?"

Although Sun Xiaohong had put down her idol filter for Li Li Xunhuan,

she still didn't quite believe that the heroic Li Li Xunhuan could be the Plum Blossom Thief.

Lin Lin Shiyin said seriously:

"Li Xunhuan is not that kind of person."

Lin Xian'er’s eyes flickered, and she said helplessly:

"Even if we believe in Li Li Xunhuan’s character, there is nothing we can do; after all, the evidence is now ironclad. We can only wait and see how the people from the imperial court will decide the case."

Lin Xian'er was full of smugness and superiority in her heart.

After all, even if Gu Gu Hanyuan liked Sun Xiaohong and Lin Lin Shiyin more, so what?

She was the one sharing secrets with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

People with shared secrets naturally had a closer relationship.

Even if Gu Gu Hanyuan still used her like a maid,

Lin Xian'er was confident that she would eventually gain a place in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s heart.

Sun Xiaohong might have some status because of the Sun family,

but Lin Lin Shiyin would sooner or later be reduced to a plaything.

Having lost to Lin Lin Shiyin so many times, she had finally turned the tables.

And what she had gained was a huge victory.

The thoughts in Lin Xian'er’s heart were extremely clear, and her mentality had become confident and proud.

Manifesting externally, she looked radiant.

Sun Xiaohong frowned as she looked at Lin Xian'er, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although Lin Xian'er hadn't said anything special,

Sun Xiaohong, who couldn't figure it out, could only attribute this discomfort to Lin Xian'er looking a bit more beautiful.

If it weren't for the fact that she had already given her body to Gu Gu Hanyuan, which gave her a bit more confidence, Sun Xiaohong would probably be worried about falling out of favor.

Lin Lin Shiyin didn't have so many thoughts; at this moment, besides worrying about Li Li Xunhuan, she felt gratitude toward Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Because she was preoccupied, she didn't notice Long Long Xiaoyun’s abnormality.

Long Long Xiaoyun was sullen, staring at Lin Lin Shiyin with gloomy eyes.

Long Long Xiaoyun was not stupid; she just hadn't realized it before.

Now she finally realized the affair between Gu Gu Hanyuan and Lin Lin Shiyin.

This made her discover many things she had previously ignored.

For example, her mother’s figure was better, especially those fresh and juicy peaches that were eye-catching.

It seemed to be tempting men to knead them.

And Long Long Xiaoyun suddenly remembered that every time her mother stood with Gu Gu Hanyuan, she would inexplicably blush.

Thinking about it now, perhaps her mother was being bullied by Gu Gu Hanyuan in secret at that time?

After all, Gu Gu Hanyuan always punished her mother in such ways.

She didn't know whether to hate Gu Gu Hanyuan for getting involved with her mother or to hate Lin Lin Shiyin for stealing her master.

Long Long Xiaoyun, whose heart had just begun to stir, had no experience with this and was at a loss.

The only thing she could be sure of was that she had romantic feelings for her master and was unwilling to give up just like that.

The process of being punished and treated time and again made her reminisce, and she had no secrets in front of Gu Gu Hanyuan.

And recalling some of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s subtle reactions and gazes,

she was even more certain that Gu Gu Hanyuan was interested in her, only that he was concerned that she was still a bit young.

Long Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but look down at her toes and immediately became indignant.

If she could grow up a bit more, perhaps it wouldn't be her mother’s business.

After all, mother and daughter had similar features.

She was even younger and more perfect.

She could give her complete self to Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s eyes were deep, and she self-righteously thought that Lin Lin Shiyin had stolen her opportunity and temporarily became her substitute.

"It was clearly me who was first... knowing the master, and skin-to-skin contact. Mother, I will not admit defeat."

Thinking this, Long Long Xiaoyun turned and left indifferently, unnoticed by the three women discussing Li Li Xunhuan.
