Chapter 138

The battle between Master Lan and Xiao Wangsun was a legend in the Wu Lin; the two fought to a draw, one using a hammer and the other using a sash.

This classic battle is even mentioned in the Legend of Lu Xiaofeng.

"You merely drew some sword marks on the scabbard, just enough to restrain the Songyang Iron Sword."

Sun Xiaohong said, "I fear no one in the world knows that this Gu Qing, who returns a person's own methods to them, is most skilled in sword arts!"

Sun Xiaohong only briefly explained the second battle, but she was by no means exaggerating.

Guo Songyang had also compared the sword marks Gu Qing engraved, realized his sword path had been broken by Gu Qing, and only then turned and left.

Li Xunhuan sighed softly from the side and said, "This sword art can no longer be described as merely 'skilled'."

That was already the transcendent realm of "No Sword."

"Even if it is transcendent, it should still come after the Little Li Flying Dagger."

Sun Xiaohong said, "Because Gu Qing does not understand benevolence and forgiveness!"

Every master should possess a broad mind and a great realm of spirit.

In Sun Xiaohong's view, Gu Qing did not possess this great spirit.

Gu Qing smiled at Sun Xiaohong and suddenly reached out, grabbing her arm.

Sun Xiaohong's eyes were like black lacquer, standing tall and fearless.

Gu Qing immediately circulated the Soul-Confusing Hand; amidst the surging internal energy, Sun Xiaohong felt a strange force wandering through her, and wherever it went, her body would go limp. In an instant, it traveled over her entire body, causing Sun Xiaohong to stumble, feeling a tingling, burning, and sticky sensation, and she actually leaned right into Gu Qing's embrace.

Back then, Zhu Qiqi hated Wang Lianhua to the bone, but when faced with the Soul-Confusing Hand, she could only let out a soft moan.

This Soul-Confusing Hand is a demonic art in the world specifically prepared for women. Gu Qing was not yet proficient in its application, and many moves had not been unleashed, but with just this light touch, Sun Xiaohong could not withstand it.

"You, you are shameless!"

Sun Xiaohong was both ashamed and angry.

Gu Qing smiled, let go of his hand, and felt even more confident in the Soul-Confusing Hand.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaohong gritted her teeth in hatred, spoke a few simple words to the others, and led them toward Old Man Sun's shop.

When Lin Shiyin saw Old Man Sun, she let out a cry of surprise. When Wang Lianhua entrusted the Lianhua Lianhua Baojian back then, Old Man Sun was also there, and for all these years, Lin Shiyin had never known that Old Man Sun was right nearby.

Old Man Sun was the son of the Heavenly Secret Old Man, and for many years, he had been wiping tables here. Seeing Lin Shiyin recognize him, he couldn't help but say, "Master Wang Lianhua was in a hurry to go to sea back then and entrusted the secret manual to you. Fearing that the Lianhua Lianhua Baojian would cause trouble, he asked me to watch over it here. I was to leave only after you handed the manual to Li Xunhuan."

But Lin Shiyin had kept the manual for herself.

To accept a commission is to be loyal to the task.

Old Man Sun had also wasted more than ten years here.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

Lin Shiyin was so anxious her face turned pale; she had thought this was a matter between two people, never expecting it to implicate Old Man Sun as well.

Old Man Sun had been wiping tables here for over ten years and naturally harbored resentment. At this moment, he slapped the table and said, "Since you were going to break it off twelve years ago, you should have at least returned the manual to him!"

When Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin were having their breakup back then, the one who suffered the most was Old Man Sun. He was truly an innocent bystander, trapped in this small shop for over ten years.

"The fault back then was all mine."

Li Xunhuan took the blame upon himself.

"Now that the manual is burned, this matter can be considered over."

Old Man Sun had suppressed many words over these twelve years, but at this moment, he swallowed them all and said, "Li Xunhuan, now that you've shown your face at Xingyun Manor, many people will come to kill you."

Li Xunhuan gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm used to it."

As the third-ranked person on the Weapon Manual, Li Xunhuan had always been at the center of the storm and had always been subjected to secret plots from all sides.

"But the people coming to kill you this time are no small matter."

Old Man Sun said, "There are Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming, the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva from the Miao border, the Blue Lan Lan Xiezi from outside the pass, as well as Lu Fengxian and Hu Bugui."

There is no need to elaborate too much on Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Master Wu Ming; one is the second-ranked on the Weapon Manual, and the other has superb sword skills, almost a carbon copy of A Fei.

The Great Joy Female Bodhisattva is the godmother of the Five Poison Boy.

The Blue Lan Lan Xiezi is the lover of the Green Demon Hand, Yin Ku.

"When Bai Xiaosheng ranked the Weapon Manual, he didn't rank women, nor did he rank madmen. This Hu Bugui acts crazy and foolish, but in terms of personal strength, he could definitely rank among the top of the Weapon Manual."

Old Man Sun said, "And Hu Bugui was specifically invited by your sworn brother, Long Xiaoyun, to deal with you."

Upon hearing the name Long Xiaoyun, Li Xunhuan's expression changed instantly.

Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun, upon suddenly hearing news of Long Xiaoyun, both felt very complicated.

"In my opinion, it would be better for you to lie low for a while."

Old Man Sun said to Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "I have fought over three hundred battles against enemies and have never once retreated."

"Oh?"

Gu Qing let out a cry of surprise and said, "Didn't you just retreat when you fought Guo Songyang earlier?"

Li Xunhuan's face stiffened slightly... that was because of Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun... but this time he was facing Long Xiaoyun directly, and Li Xunhuan had to face him.

"If you really intend to face them head-on, you must invite the Flying Sword Guest."

Old Man Sun said, "Do you know that Lin Xian'er is with A Fei just because she wants to use him as her shield?"

As the Plum Blossom Thief, Lin Xian'er once organized a massive faction, with even Bai Xiaosheng among them. But after framing Li Xunhuan once, Li Xunhuan dug up most of the organization, and Lin Xian'er could only find a place to hide.

After lying low for two years, Lin Xian'er felt that hiding forever was not a solution, which is why she wanted to provoke Li Xunhuan into coming out.

Only by killing Li Xunhuan, the one who broke the Plum Blossom Thief case, could Lin Xian'er return to the Wu Lin once again under the title of the Number One Beauty.

This time, the matter of the precious treasure at Xingyun Manor was something Lin Xian'er had stirred up.

"I, for one, would like to meet her!"

Gu Qing extended his right hand, wanting to see how Lin Xian'er's bed skills compared to the world-best bed skills of the Yunmeng Fairy.

"Lin Xian'er is beautiful, indeed, but she loves to lead people to their downfall."

Sun Xiaohong said indifferently, "If someone like you were to fall, it would be a great catastrophe for the Wu Lin, so I advise you to be cautious."

Gu Qing smiled.

Stopping the carriage to love the maple forest in the evening.

This was the name of a wine shop. After Shangguan Fei stumbled at Gu Qing's hands, he found Shangguan Jin Hong to report, and then came here without stopping.

Shangguan Fei hoped that Lin Xian'er could offer him comfort, allowing him to walk out from the shadow of his failure.

Lin Xian'er quickly arranged a sedan chair, and after Shangguan Fei entered, Lin Xian'er had already circled him.

As the Number One Beauty in the world, Lin Xian'er's looks and figure were impeccable, and every glance and smile held magic. After Shangguan Fei saw Lin Xian'er, he couldn't wait to press himself onto her.

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei..."

Lin Xian'er murmured, signaling that Shangguan Fei could begin.

And at this moment, Shangguan Fei froze completely.

"Xiao Fei?"

Lin Xian'er sat up, looked at Shangguan Fei, and after sizing him up, said, "Are you under a lot of pressure lately?"

Lin Xian'er knew that as Shangguan Jin Hong's son, Shangguan Fei was under immense pressure.

Shangguan Fei lowered his head, and suddenly understood what head he had lost after the gold and money fell. He pushed Lin Xian'er away, pulled up his pants, and fled in a panic into the woods. In the darkness, Shangguan Fei's grief-stricken cries could be heard: "Gu Qing! Gu Qing!"

Lin Xian'er's eyes rolled slightly, and she giggled.
