Chapter 133: Li Xunhuan

Heart! Liver! Treasure!

In Li Xunhuan's heart, a figure appeared, so cold, so thin, so fragile, yet so resilient. For the past two years, Lin Shiyin had shed countless tears, and Li Xunhuan's chest had also dripped countless blood.

"I am a person without heart and liver."

Li Xunhuan said indifferently, "Where is there any heart-and-liver treasure?"

After saying these words, Li Xunhuan's eyes had gradually become sharp.

Li Xunhuan, who ranked third in the Weapon Manual, had been self-exiled for two years, but as long as Li Xunhuan re-entered the Jianghu, the Little Li Flying Dagger would still be the best in the world. And when Guo Songyang, who ranked fourth in the Weapon Manual, came to find Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan could still win.

Because the masters of the Gu system were masters. No matter how long they were self-exiled, as long as a master returned, they were still a master.

Li Xunhuan was, A-Fei was, and Xie Xiaofeng was too.

Dust could cover the cold light of a sword, but it could not cover the sharpness of the sword blade itself (quoted from *Master is Lonely*).

Under such a state of Li Xunhuan, as long as Gu Qing had the slightest flaw in his state, he might bear that unparalleled knife.

Gu Qing looked at Li Xunhuan and smiled, then suddenly leaped up, darting into the Xingyun Manor.

Li Xunhuan also flew over like an arrow at this moment. When he reached the mountain wall, Li Xunhuan's body folded, following the wall and rising like an arrow, but he didn't use his hands or feet, easily crossing the five-zhang high wall of Xingyun Manor.

But just at this moment of crossing and not crossing.

The wall of Xingyun Manor collapsed.

Stones pierced the air, shooting out.

Gu Qing's figure came through the wall inside Xingyun Manor! He swung his fist out!

Li Xunhuan had already fought a hundred battles, but these few punches in front of him were absolutely the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered in his life. At the moment of hair-breadth, a knife light appeared in Li Xunhuan's hand. This knife was used to slash Gu Qing's wrist.

Just at this moment, Li Xunhuan had already identified that the palm power Gu Qing swung was the Moyun Fourteen Hands, and coincidentally, Li Xunhuan had fought with Gongsun Moyun two years ago.

Li Xunhuan's knife carried a predictive nature, but just at the moment of fighting, he found that Gu Qing's fist had changed. This Moyun Fourteen Hands seemed to be it but wasn't, but the power was equally terrifying.

"*Bang! *"

"*Bang! *"

Gu Qing threw two consecutive punches, striking Li Xunhuan in the chest and lower abdomen, causing Li Xunhuan to double over and fly backward, spitting blood. Gu Qing followed closely, darting forward to reach Li Xunhuan's side; his hands moved like flower shadows, shifting in marvelous ways, striking multiple major acupoints on Li Xunhuan's body in rapid succession.

One snap of the fingers has sixty *kshanas*.

Gu Qing defeated Li Xunhuan in one snap of the fingers!

The people in that small shop all saw these changes, watching Gu Qing use deception and sneak attacks to directly take down Li Xunhuan.

"Shameless!"

A green-faced man saw this scene and snorted coldly. A pitch-black long whip had already appeared in his hand.

This person was named Ximen Rou, ranking seventh on Bai Xiaosheng's Weapon Manual, even above Zhuge Gang. He usually had a chivalrous heart, and his weapon was this pitch-black long whip. At this time, the long whip unfolded, extending into the air, whistling and circling, a full three zhang long. Where it rolled was exactly the place where Gu Qing and Li Xunhuan were about to land.

Ximen Rou was confident that this whip would definitely be able to rescue Li Xunhuan.

But the next moment, Gu Qing grabbed Li Xunhuan with one hand, his feet pointed in mid-air, actually turning back in the air, jumping back onto the mountain wall again, turning his face to smile at Ximen Rou, and with one leap, disappeared inside Xingyun Manor.

"Damn it..."

With Li Xunhuan's previous example, Ximen Rou held the long whip and didn't chase.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man took a puff of his dry pipe and said, "First use words to shake Li Li Tanhua's mind, then leap into the high wall, and then make a sneak attack. The moves contain traps... Gu Qing is linked ring by ring, Li Li Tanhua didn't lose unjustly."

In that snap of the fingers, the Heavenly Machine Old Man saw everything clearly.

Xingyun Manor was quiet and lonely.

The night wind was desolate, and mist gradually rose.

Li Xunhuan was carried by Gu Qing, revisiting the old place, looking at the desolation and decay of Xingyun Manor, thinking of the prosperity of the past, and sighed gloomily.

Even though he was captured by Gu Qing now, Li Xunhuan was still very optimistic.

"Names and people's fates really have a connection."

Gu Qing walked on the small bridge of Xingyun Manor and suddenly said, "Your name is Li Xunhuan, and all your joys in your life are in this Li Yuan. Without Li Yuan, you can only seek joy in this life, but you can't find it."

"Actually, there are many joys outside."

Li Xunhuan said indifferently, "I often drink, and I often laugh."

"You are not truly happy. Your smile is just a protective color you wear."

Gu Qing hummed a small tune.

Li Xunhuan's eyebrows were desolate, but he asked again, "There is a 'Qing' character in your name. How should your fate be?"

"'Qing' means life."

Gu Qing explained calmly, "There are many people in this Jianghu, many masters, like waves one after another. When they collide, they splash water, either moving forward or being submerged. And no matter how these waves are, I can live well."

During this conversation, Gu Qing carried Li Xunhuan and leaped up, arriving in front of a small building.

There was light in the small building, reflecting a thin figure.

That was Lin Shiyin. In the two years since Long Xiaoyun left home, Lin Shiyin had been living a peaceful life. And in front of Lin Shiyin, Long Xiaoyun was practicing calligraphy quietly.

The current Long Xiaoyun was thirteen or fourteen years old, and many emotions were restrained in his heart. Until this character was finished, he suddenly paused his brush.

"Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Shiyin's voice was very gentle.

Long Xiaoyun bit his lip and said, "I'm thinking about when Dad can come back..."

Lin Shiyin was silent when she heard this, and then said, "When he left, I didn't know either."

"I know."

Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Shiyin, his eyes showing cunning, and said, "He was afraid of Li Xunhuan's revenge... But Li Xunhuan never came. Why doesn't he come to see Mom?"

Long Xiaoyun was probing Lin Shiyin's emotions.

Just as these words were spoken, there seemed to be a whistling wind outside.

"Li Xunhuan is here!"

After a sound, the main door opened and closed, and the candlelight swayed everywhere. In this room, there were already two more people. One was wearing a light blue robe, neat in appearance, sunny and cheerful, while the other had messy hair, disheveled clothes, and was downcast and haggard.

Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun both looked at the downcast and haggard person.

Li Xunhuan was exactly the person Lin Shiyin was worried about, yet avoided talking about.

"You..."

Lin Shiyin was lost.

"I am Gu Qing."

Gu Qing bowed to Lin Shiyin. This immediately satisfied Lin Shiyin's wish to see Li Xunhuan, and he plucked a bit of merit, so Gu Qing was very happy. He patted Li Xunhuan and said, "This person is someone I just tied up, specifically brought here to propose marriage."

Propose marriage?

Lin Shiyin felt her heart about to jump out when she heard the words "propose marriage."

Li Xunhuan was also stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, and then looked at Gu Qing, cursing in his heart: Li Xunhuan always meets these "righteous" friends!

Possessing the *Lianhua Treasure Mirror*, Long Xiaoyun saw that Li Xunhuan was very bad, and Long Xiaoyun also knew Li Xunhuan's character, so he would never come here voluntarily.

This was Li Xunhuan's friend acting on his own initiative!

"How to propose marriage? Propose marriage to whom?"

Long Xiaoyun asked coldly.

"Of course I am here to propose marriage."

Gu Qing looked at Lin Shiyin and said, "Madam, I admire you very much!"

This turn made Li Xunhuan, Lin Shiyin, and Long Xiaoyun change color one after another, all looking at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing spread his hands and said, "Why, am I not a good match?"

After Long Xiaoyun looked at Gu Qing, he cursed in his heart: Why does Li Xunhuan always meet such beastly friends!
