Chapter 79
Li Li Xunhuan also approved of Lin Fan’s approach upon hearing this; if it were him, he would also do the same.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Li Xunhuan started coughing again.
"Brother Li, you are neither injured nor suffering from accumulated illness; coughing like this, is it because excessive drinking has hurt your lungs, or is there some worry in your heart that is hard to resolve?"
"These are not important; I only have one wish upon returning to the Central Plains..."
Li Li Xunhuan grabbed the wine pouch and wanted to drink again, but unfortunately, it was empty, having been drunk by Lin Fan long ago.
"Brother Lin, I invited you to drink, but you didn't leave me a single drop. This is not good!" Li Li Xunhuan said helplessly.
"Since you can't let go, why did you push her into someone else’s arms back then?"
Lin Fan did not respond to Li Li Xunhuan but asked about his thoughts back then.
"You know?"
"I know!"
"How much do you know?"
"Lin Lin Shiyin, you loved her for a lifetime, and she loved you for a lifetime. Unfortunately, she was pushed by your own hands to Long Long Xiaoyun. You are not happy, and she is not happy!"
"Do you know why I am willing to be friends with you? Because you are too generous. Ancestral foundations can be given away, and the woman you love can also be given away. For the sake of so-called benevolence and morality, is it worth it? Brother Li, you live too tiredly!"
Lin Fan looked at the down-and-out Li Li Xunhuan and shook his head; he really found it difficult to understand Li Li Xunhuan’s approach.
"People in the secular world are destined to be burdened by empty names. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith bind the hands and feet, while loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame, and courage imprison the soul. I am too attached and cannot see through it. Brother Lin is much more free and easy than me!"
Li Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly. How many times in the dead of night had he felt painful regret, but everything could no longer go back.
"It’s not too late; knowing regret is not too late!"
"Thanks to Brother Lin’s kind words, but I will be satisfied if I can see her once. I have to continue on my way. Brother Lin, our Wu Lin path is long; let’s meet again if fate allows!"
Li Li Xunhuan did not want to continue this topic. One was the woman he loved, and the other was the big brother he respected; it was truly too difficult to choose.
Lin Fan did not force it; there was no need to impose his own thoughts on Li Li Xunhuan. Some things he must experience personally to see through.
After Li Li Xunhuan said goodbye, Tie Tie Chuanjia drove the carriage and took him toward the distance.
"Little Li Tanhua, is he still a bit interesting? But why doesn't he recognize Long Long Xiaoyun?" A Zi said curiously.
"He has been away from the Central Plains for more than ten years; it’s already quite good that he can feel that Long Long Xiaoyun has a connection with him. How could he recognize Long Long Xiaoyun? He doesn't look like Lin Lin Shiyin!"
Lin Fan knew that Long Long Xiaoyun on top of the carriage must be very disappointed right now; he probably thought he could be saved, right? Unfortunately, after learning about Long Long Xiaoyun’s personality, Li Li Xunhuan did not meddle in this business to the end; after all, he still had a chivalrous spirit.
"Don't think about it. If your mother can bring the Pity Flower Treasure Mirror, you can still live; otherwise, you will have to go feed the dogs. I’m not joking!"
Lin Fan did not name names, but it was self-evident who he was talking about.
Subsequently, A Zhu also drove the carriage and continued, preparing to go to the next town.
It wasn't until dusk that Lin Fan’s group arrived at a small town, and they found a restaurant to rest.
At this time, the people of Xingyunzhuang had already arrived at the Xiaoxian restaurant, but unfortunately, Lin Fan’s group had already gone far away.
An old man with a purple face and long beard played with the iron balls in his hands and sneered disdainfully: "I thought it was some strong person who was so bold, not only daring to hurt Master Long the Fourth’s people and capture Young Master Long, but actually daring to threaten Madam Long to exchange things for Young Master Long’s life. I followed to gain some experience, but I didn't expect it to be a coward who fled before we arrived!"
The people of Xingyunzhuang nodded upon hearing this; they also felt that Lin Fan was scared and had fled in advance.
Lin Lin Shiyin looked coldly at the clamoring crowd, not knowing if they could even withstand one move from Lin Fan.
However, what she was most worried about now was Long Long Xiaoyun. Lin Fan was definitely not fleeing because he was afraid of the people of Xingyunzhuang, but where did he take Long Long Xiaoyun?
"May I ask if this is Miss Lin Lin Shiyin?"
Just as Lin Lin Shiyin was at a loss, a person dressed as a waiter walked up and asked Lin Lin Shiyin.
"I am. Who are you?"
"I am just a waiter in the restaurant. Before, a Young Master Lin asked me to tell Miss Lin that he took your son toward Mount Leigu Mountain, and you can pursue him yourself."
After finishing his words, the waiter left. That’s right, he was Fang Han.
After Lin Fan saved him today, he originally wanted to follow Lin Fan to repay him. After all, Lin Fan had the kindness of gifting him Wu Gong and the grace of saving his life; it wouldn't be too much for him to be a beast of burden.
But Lin Fan said that Fang Han had his own path to take and didn't need to follow him, and also said he hoped to hear Fang Han’s name in the Wu Lin in the future, so Fang Han did not leave with Lin Fan and the others.
After helping Lin Fan pass the message to Lin Lin Shiyin, he also had to leave the restaurant to venture into the Wu Lin.
"It’s getting late today, why don't we pursue tomorrow morning?" Long Long Xiaoyun suggested.
Lin Lin Shiyin did not speak, spurred her horse, and pursued in the direction of Mount Leigu Mountain.
Long Long Xiaoyun was helpless and could only call everyone to catch up quickly.
"Wait until I catch that brat, I must let him know the power of my Iron Gall Town Eight Directions!" The old man with the purple face and long beard rode his horse while complaining.
Long Long Xiaoyun did not speak, just with a gloomy face. He also hated Lin Fan to the bone; when he caught Lin Fan, he felt that skinning and cramping him wouldn't be too much.
The people of Xingyunzhuang pursued in Lin Fan’s direction, which Lin Fan did not know.
However, this was not important. How could a divine dragon soaring in the nine heavens care about weak ants?
At this time, Lin Fan saw an acquaintance in the inn of the small town. It was a familiar baby face; it was none other than A Fei, which made Lin Fan feel some emotion.
He didn't even notice Li Li Xunhuan and Tie Tie Chuanjia sitting in the corner.
Because he almost couldn't help but say to A Fei: "Leng Feng, is that you? Long Long Xiaoyun is in my hands!"
The current scene was familiar to Lin Fan; one dressed in white, one dressed in black, the two were threatening the escort agency to hand over their goods.
The escort leader signaled his subordinates to take the goods and leave first. The escort guard just acted but was discovered by the man in black, who pierced his palm with a sword, causing him to howl in pain.
"If your heads weren't worthless, I would have killed you directly!" The man in black said coldly.
"May I ask how much your head is worth?" A Fei chewed on a weed and asked cynically.
"Was it you who spoke just now?" The man in black and the man in white walked slowly to A Fei and asked.
"There is no one else here besides me, right?"
"What did you just say?"
"You said his head is worthless, and I think so too, so I want to ask, how much are your heads worth!"
"You want to buy my head?"
"Wrong, I am selling it to you. As long as you pay fifty taels, you can buy your own head!"
Lin Fan smiled. This A Fei, having no money to treat Li Li Xunhuan to a drink, actually pulled such a stunt of asking people to pay to buy their own heads; it was truly interesting.
