Chapter 125
"Brother Lin, it's not that I don't believe what you said, but your words are too unbelievable; why would my elder brother harm me? Back then, if it weren't for him taking action, I would have died at the hands of the enemy!"
Li Xunhuan stopped drinking and stared at Lin Fan with burning eyes.
"This has to start from when you were young, involving the grudges of your father's generation; back then, your father was also a Top Graduate, and he reported the crimes of Long Xiaoyun's father to the Emperor, leading to Long Xiaoyun's family being raided and himself becoming a beggar, falling from the clouds into the mud."
"Long Xiaoyun swore from a young age to take revenge and take away everything you have. So when he grew up and had the ability, after the righteous sects failed to encircle and suppress the Magic Blade Sect of Lin Shiyin's family, he cooperated with Bai Xiaosheng and others, letting them pursue and kill you and Lin Shiyin, while he appeared as a savior, becoming your life-saving benefactor and swearing brotherhood with you, actually to take away your sweetheart and family property."
"A gentleman can be deceived by his squareness; I have to say your personality was completely seen through by Long Xiaoyun, so you have always been led by the nose by him, giving away women and family property; a generous person like you, even I can't help but want to be friends with you!"
Lin Fan toyed with the wine bowl in his hand, looking at Li Xunhuan playfully, recounting his grudges with Long Xiaoyun.
"Is this why you want to be friends with Li Xunhuan? Then you are late; there is only one Li family mansion, and now it is called Xingyunzhuang, and there is only one cousin of Li Xunhuan, and now she is Madam Long."
A Fei couldn't help but laugh upon hearing the reason why Lin Fan wanted to be friends with Li Xunhuan.
"That's right, Li Xunhuan is now a down-and-out middle-aged man who is addicted to alcohol and has nothing; he can neither give away family property nor give away beauty; I'm afraid Brother Lin will be disappointed!"
Li Xunhuan raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then said bitterly.
"Not disappointed; if I want Xingyunzhuang, it can be changed to the Lin Mansion at any time; if I want Madam Long, it can be changed to Madam Lin at any time. However, a gentleman does not take what others love; if Brother Li wants to take back his family property and woman from Long Xiaoyun's hands, then as a friend, I won't compete with you!"
"Meeting by chance, Brother Lin is willing to give all this away?"
"Brother Li, your words are wrong; if it were already mine, I would absolutely not let it go, but now it doesn't belong to me yet, so it depends on you, Brother Li; if you are willing to take it, then take it away; if you are not willing to take it, then I will accept it, but if it falls into my hands, there is absolutely no reason to spit it out!"
Li Xunhuan did not speak, only drinking wine bowl after bowl.
Li Xunhuan and Lin Fan were playing word games, and A Fei listened with great interest on the side.
"Lin Fan, Li Xunhuan is unwilling to take it, so you want it; then you are at a big loss; if it were me, I would rather strike first, take Xingyunzhuang and Lin Shiyin, so that I might be able to witness a fight between the new first and third on the Weapon Spectrum!"
Listening, A Fei suddenly said, fearing that the world wouldn't be in chaos.
"Wealth is an external object, and Lin Shiyin is not suitable for me; for me, acting as I please is life; what I want, I must get, what I don't want, I directly give up. I thought I would provoke Li Xunhuan a bit, stimulate his ambition, and be able to boldly express his love for Lin Shiyin, but I didn't expect this drunkard to be so calm."
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly; he was not interested in Xingyunzhuang and Lin Shiyin, only wanting to get the Lianhua Treasure Mirror.
He wanted to provoke him to see Li Xunhuan's loss of composure, but Li Xunhuan remained the same, which was a bit disappointing.
"Brother Li, do you know who the parents of the child on the roof of my carriage are?"
"I would like to hear the details!"
Li Xunhuan's hand holding the wine bowl paused, and he vaguely guessed it in his heart.
"He is the son of Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin, Long Xiaoyun; I let Lin Shiyin bring the Lianhua Treasure Mirror to exchange for her son's life; presumably, Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin will arrive soon!"
"Shiyin has the Lianhua Treasure Mirror, where did it come from?" Li Xunhuan was silent for a moment and asked slowly.
"Wang Lianhua entrusted Lin Shiyin to give the Lianhua Treasure Mirror to you, asking you to find him a successor; what do you think of me?"
Lin Fan looked Li Xunhuan up and down; you are not someone who doesn't eat the food of the world, you are still quite concerned about Lin Shiyin.
"Brother Lin, I can't see through you; I don't know if I should hand it over to you!"
"No matter; what I fancy, I don't need others to give; I will take it myself!"
"Then you come to ask me, making me think I am quite important; it turns out I am not important at all!"
"Enough, you two speak simply; it's best to just take action; I have just entered the Jianghu and don't understand the word games you are playing!" A Fei suddenly interrupted.
"The son of the famous hero Shen Lang shouldn't be so impatient; there is still much you need to learn from your father."
"You say I am Shen Lang's son, then who is my mother?"
"Bai Feifei!"
"They are two famous names; I didn't expect you to have such a background!" Li Xunhuan also subconsciously looked at A Fei.
"My surname is not Shen; it was I who didn't want him, not him who didn't want me!"
A Fei was first surprised after knowing this, then angry, and finally returned to calm.
"This depends on how you choose; I can only tell you that your mother gave birth to you behind Shen Lang's back, so Shen Lang doesn't know you are his son."
"Is there really someone in the world who knows things from birth, or are Tianji divine calculations really so unfathomable?"
Li Xunhuan put down the wine bowl and looked at Lin Fan curiously.
"Where is there anyone who knows things from birth, where are there any Tianji calculations; it's just that I have heard more things, so I appear to be more knowledgeable!"
Lin Fan smiled; it's not easy to pretend to be a god-stick; like the Innate Eight Trigrams, Plum Blossom Divination, he didn't know anything about them, and it was very difficult to fool people.
"Li Xunhuan and I are both pitiful people; if we had known, we would have been better off not listening to your Tianji calculations; bad luck, bad luck!"
Although he said bad luck, A Fei's face was filled with smiles.
"Not knowing doesn't mean it doesn't exist; deceiving yourself cannot make you famous in the world!"
"I said my wish is to become famous in the world, not for you to take it to mock me; and what are your wishes? You should also say them and share them with me!" A Fei stared at Li Xunhuan and Lin Fan.
"My wish is to be drunk on a beauty's lap and wake up to hold the power of the world!"
Lin Fan did not hide it and stated his goal directly.
"You want to be Emperor?" A Fei said thoughtfully.
"No, the fist is power; waking up to hold the power of the world means I want to become the person with the highest martial arts in the world!"
"My wish, or rather goal, is to take Shiyin to the outside of the pass to live a life of herding horses on the grassland!"
Seeing Lin Fan and A Fei staring at him, Li Xunhuan no longer hid his thoughts.
"To celebrate the realization of our wishes, let's drink a large bowl; cheers!"
The three raised their wine bowls and drank them all in one gulp, then burst into laughter and began to compete in drinking.
