Chapter 139 The Compassionate Flower Mirror (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 10,000 words, 24,000 words daily)

"Just now"

Long Xiaoyun rubbed her eyes, still looking somewhat shaken.

He knew some things about Fang Yunhua, a good-for-nothing man who lived off Lin Xian'er. According to Long Xiaoyun, Fang Yunhua's martial arts talent was so poor that even if he practiced for twenty years, he would not achieve the same results as himself after practicing for two years.

As someone who operates within the martial arts world, he naturally understands that strength is everything.

He wouldn't even consider someone with poor fighting skills, who is useless even if he has a good appearance.

As for the influence of Fang Yunhua's temperament, it naturally wouldn't have much effect on someone who already had a preconceived notion about him, or a child whose values ​​weren't fully formed. You could say that ignorance is bliss.

"Tch, it must be because he didn't sleep well last night."

Long Xiaoyun immediately decided to take a shower, get a good night's sleep, and then come back to get revenge when she had the chance.

Not just anyone can touch Brother Yun's head!

The other person even tapped it twice before leaving, like they were picking out a watermelon!

Long Xiaoyun grew angrier the more she thought about it, and kicked the small stone under her feet away again.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian'er had already approached Lin Shiyin.

When the other party learned that her sworn sister was coming to stay for a while, she was naturally very happy. After all, she had been staying in Xingyun Manor, and the only people she could communicate with outsiders were that father and son. In fact, there were many things on her mind that she could not tell them.

"I heard from the housekeeper that he's here too?" Lin Shiyin asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Previously, in order to ask Long Xiaoyun to teach Fang Yunhua spear techniques, Lin Xian'er had to embellish and omit the details of her relationship with Fang Yunhua. It was because of this experience that the two women became closer.

"Yes, he's here." Unlike before, when talking about Fang Yunhua, Lin Xian'er's brows always held a hint of resentment.

At this moment, Lin Shiyin could sense the overwhelming happiness in him, which surprised her somewhat.

"You...could it be..."

"He finally saw the light and stopped thinking about isolating himself, so I took the opportunity to make a move, and then hehehe~"

It's hard to imagine that women can discuss such explicit topics. Of course, Lin Shiyin is still relatively reserved, so after touching on the subject briefly, she began to focus on more crucial issues.

"So you've got it now? How did you do that?"

"Perhaps it's because hard work pays off. He noticed what I've been doing for him, and all it took was an opportunity for him to open up to me."

Lin Xian'er looked sweet, which made Lin Shiyin very envious. At the same time, she also felt a sense of satisfaction.

Because, in truth, she is a fan of the Lin Xian'er and Fang Yunhua couple. Her own early emotional setbacks have led her to place more expectations and longings on Lin Xian'er's relationship.

Seeing the fruits of their labor now is like a reminder that if they had made a different choice in the past, they might have achieved the same happy ending.

She's not the kind of seemingly helpful best friend who secretly wishes for the other person's downfall.

This news made her so happy that she burst into tears.

"Xian'er, you must cherish everything you have now."

This CP fandom is incredibly passionate. It's as if seeing Lin Xian'er and Fang Yunhua's relationship progress so smoothly allows her to feel their happiness and continue to imagine that past "what if" scenario as if it were real and beautiful.

"Of course I will cherish everything I have now, but..." Lin Xian'er hesitated, and after noticing Lin Shiyin's concerned gaze, she just forced a smile and didn't mention the matter again.

This made Lin Shiyin anxious. Who cares more about her love life than the person in question? Naturally, it's this number one CP fan.

"Is there still a problem between you two? Hasn't he already taken the initiative to express his feelings to you?"

"But I'm still not sure about our future. Shion-nee, you've met him, so you know that the biggest problem for us to have a smooth relationship is all sorts of unexpected events."

Lin Shiyin was taken aback for a moment, then cupped the other's delicate and pitiful face in her hands. As a woman herself, she had to admit that she had a strong urge to get close to her.

Similarly, I had spent a few hours with that young master Fang. Although he had a somewhat gloomy temperament, in terms of looks alone, even the one I had been longing for and feeling sad about was probably not even one-tenth as handsome as him.

In this world, beauty is both a gift from heaven and a punishment from heaven.

I was chosen by Long Xiaoyun because I was fairly good-looking, which led to my current situation.
If in the future there is such a powerful martial artist who takes a liking to Lin Xian'er or Young Master Fang and tries to break up the couple, wouldn't he be following in his footsteps?

I've heard that the number one ranked weapon in the new weapon rankings, the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva, is a huge fan of handsome men.
"No! No!"

The usually delicate Lin Shiyin suddenly erupted with extremely intense emotions!

She thought of herself again, because she lacked the courage to speak out, because of her deep disappointment in him, and because of all the resentment she felt when she looked back, which led her to this situation, which she could force herself to believe was not so bad.

But the resentment in his heart never dissipated.

Now it seems like I've seen another version of myself who is so brave, and I've also seen another version of myself who has finally given a perfect response. It should have been a happy ending, so why are there still these demons and monsters becoming obstacles to ruin their beautiful marriage!
She wants to do something!
It's not for Lin Xian'er, but for my past self!
"I've heard that his aptitude for martial arts isn't very good."

“Yes.” Lin Xian’er sighed. “I’ve been collecting some secret manuals in private. Although I have several estates to support my purchases, I may not be able to access real masters, which means the manuals I obtain can’t provide much improvement for them.”

However, his aptitude for poison concoction seems quite good. It's just that renowned poison masters in the martial arts world all need to learn poison techniques; if he tries to study it on his own, he'll only end up looking like a monster.

Lin Shiyin nodded.

She had also heard of some masters of poison, such as the Four-Colored Child, the Five-Poison Child, and the Green Demon Hand Yi Ku. These people all had strange appearances and were obviously researching the side effects of poison.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck her!
Because she now possesses a complete manual of poisons, and even poisons only constitute a small part of that manual.

This secret manual
Looking at Lin Xian'er, whose brows were furrowed with sorrow, Lin Shiyin seemed to see herself from more than ten years ago. This helplessness, this hidden despair, this unwillingness to accept defeat, seemed to leave her with no choice but to compromise.
Compromise? No!!!

"wait!"

Lin Shiyin didn't want to think about anything else. She just didn't want to regret it again. Besides, she truly regarded Lin Xian'er as her own sister, and she sincerely hoped that the other could find her own happiness!

Moreover, the banner of Yunxian must not fall!
Let her protect their love!
"Found it! Give this to him. No matter what enemy he encounters in the future, he should not be afraid. This is the 'Lianhua Treasure Mirror' created by the Thousand-Faced Prince Wang Lianhua with his unique skills. If he can't learn poison skills, you can let him learn other skills."

In short, once you master this secret manual, you will no longer need to fear anyone!

Looking at Lin Shiyin's high confidence, and the pride on her face of successfully protecting this tragic love, even Lin Xian'er, who was a bad woman, felt a little guilty. Of course, after accepting the secret manual...

His eyes were filled with joy.

After giving her dear older sister a big kiss, she took the secret manual to Fang Yunhua to claim credit.

Lin Shiyin, still dazed, gently stroked her cheek that had just been kissed, a hint of satisfaction in her expression.

Everyone will have a bright future~——
"This is the 'Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers'."

Fang Yunhua remained calm, after all, he had already forged his own path, and the martial arts of others could at most provide him with some inspiration, provided that the quality of the martial arts he learned was at a very high level.

Obviously, this does not include the book "The Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers," but you can look into the sections on mind control techniques, medical skills, and poison techniques.

Of course, this was Lin Xian'er's heartfelt gift, and even though it was obtained through trickery, he still had to act as if he was very surprised.

"Wow, that's an amazing skill!"

Lin Xian'er:
"So, this manual is really useless to you?" Lin Xian'er didn't feel any regret, after all, it didn't take her much effort to trick her into giving up this manual.

"It's still useful. You need to take a closer look at this part, this part, and this part. This mind-controlling technique can be used in conjunction with the seductive techniques in your 'Men Can't Be Seen' book. As for medicine and poison, it's essential basic knowledge for embarking on a journey in the martial arts world."

As for disguise techniques, although Wang Lianhua's skills are not bad, the Shi family's disguise techniques that I will teach you are more suitable for you, and some of the makeup techniques are quite good.”

Lin Xian'er blinked and remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"So, did I get this manual so I could learn it myself?"

"Let me see it for two days, then you can study it."

Lin Xian'er nodded, while Fang Yunhua began to peruse the manual. She stared absently out the window, which made Fang Yunhua realize that her mood was a little off.

"what happened?"

"I just feel a little sorry for Shion-nee."

Fang Yunhua looked at Lin Xian'er in surprise, and his expression immediately made her laugh in exasperation.

"What do you mean! Does that mean I should be heartless? Shiyin is so good to me. Although I did have some ulterior motives when I first met her, I also gave her some genuine feelings later on."

And this secret manual—she pulled it out without a second thought when I brought up our relationship issues.

It also states that once we learn what's inside, there will be no one in the world we will fear.

Clearly, she was also aware of the value of this manual.

“Then remember this favor.” Fang Yunhua looked at the other person seriously. “After you finish studying it, return the manual to her. Also, repay her a favor in the future. I will help her out as well.”

"How can you help?"

What do you think Lin Shiyin is concerned about right now?

"It's about whether our relationship can continue smoothly."

Fang Yunhua was speechless. How incredibly free was the other person? Addicted to shipping couples, huh? Then Fang Yunhua looked in the mirror and saw that his face and Lin Xian'er's face together were indeed quite pleasing to the eye.

He even found it quite appealing.

Cough!

"Besides that, what else does she care about?" "If it's a person, it's probably that little brat. As for things, there's nothing else. At most, it's the regret of a past relationship."

Lin Xian'er saw through Long Xiaoyun's little tricks of disguise at a glance. She even thought that Lin Shiyin might know that she had given birth to a naughty child, but as a mother, she always had a special filter for her own good son.

This also made her deliberately ignore some of the other party's unusual behavior.

“That’s easy then. I’ll help her educate that brat and get him on the right path! To become a good young man!” Fang Yunhua said kindly. “As for the regrets in his love life, from a personal point of view, I’m not willing to interfere. Let her choose for herself when the time comes.”

He didn't offer any advice regarding the love triangle involving his scumbag senior sister; he just watched for fun.

This time is no different.

Because he understands that the emotional choices he makes for them are not necessarily correct. Just like obsessed CP fans, the love they fantasize about may not be as sweet as it appears through their filters when the actual couple is together.

"I understand. I will definitely make it up to Shion-nee in the future!"

Lin Xian'er immediately stopped feeling melancholy, which made Fang Yunhua glance at her and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Perhaps influenced by himself, he developed a certain bottom line, but it wasn't very high.

That very night, the two of them, unusually, did not fool around, but instead seriously studied the "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers".

When the sun rises.

Fang Yunhua stretched and revealed a pleasant smile.

"It's time to start!"

Immediately afterwards, something soft pressed against him from behind, but he remained unmoved.

"Don't stop me from having fun, we'll talk about it tonight!"

After saying those words, he disappeared from the spot, while Lin Xian'er, who snorted softly, continued to meditate. Because Fang Yunhua had given her three bottles of Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, she had been diligently practicing her skills recently.
-
On the other side, Long Xiaoyun, who was fully prepared, revealed a sly smile!
Last night, the more he thought about how that despicable Fang Yunhua slapped his head like a watermelon, the angrier he became.

This kept him groaning all night and preventing him from sleeping.

Now sporting dark circles under his eyes, he's about to launch his revenge!

After questioning several servants, he quickly located the other party's position.

A secluded spot in the back garden!
He then jogged along and spotted Fang Yunhua doing middle school broadcast gymnastics in the distance!
Long Xiaoyun did not make any rash moves!
He first adjusted the mechanism on his right arm, then assessed the position, and finally locked onto the protruding buttocks!
Then--

Whoosh whoosh!
Three hidden arrows were fired, but in that instant, the opponent twisted his waist and dodged them all perfectly!

"How can it be!"

As he cried out in despair, Fang Yunhua turned around.

He first scanned the surroundings. The closest person was an old servant sweeping, but he couldn't see the situation because of his blind spots.

"very good."

"What good!"

Seeing the other party reveal an arrogant smile again, Long Xiaoyun was also furious, but his anger quickly froze on his face.

In its field of vision, the bright flowers around it disappeared, and the rockeries that it was so familiar with gradually disappeared. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and not far away was a monster with countless tentacles!

It is slowly getting closer to it!

The soft soil beneath my feet seemed to be gradually decaying, until it coalesced into an endless expanse of pitch black.

As the monster approached, strange bubbles continuously emerged from this bright black color.

Closer, very close
The monster was enormous. When Long Xiaoyun looked up at it, he could only see countless tentacles blocking his view of what was above him!

One of the tentacles, thick and slippery, dripping with an unknown black liquid, suddenly slapped his forehead!

"what!"

After Long Xiaoyun screamed in surprise, the scene before her eyes began to distort rapidly, like visual pollution, before fading away with a burst of white light.

He felt it again!
He felt that hateful big hand rubbing against his smooth forehead like it was polishing a walnut!
But Long Xiaoyun dared not move now.

He only looked up slightly and saw Fang Yunhua displaying a malicious smile, looking at him with pleasure.

"Let me see what other surprises you've prepared!"

An extreme chill ran from her forehead to her feet. After a shiver, the mechanism hidden in her sleeves inexplicably shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Oh? There's a little surprise too~"

Immediately following were two dagger fragments, already broken into dozens of pieces, which were hidden somewhere in their waists and abdomens, and were smashed to the ground by a force.

"Hey, let your older brother take a look again~"

With a snapping sound, the exquisitely crafted crossbow with a tight back and a low-profile design, hidden behind it, was also completely destroyed.

Fang Yunhua released his large hand from above his head, bent down to pick up a poisoned arrow, and kept making clicking sounds.

"You're quite daring. Although it's not a lethal poison, it's still a bit troublesome to deal with."

Long Xiaoyun, standing in front of him, dared not move. When Fang Yunhua released his grip, the cold energy that had entered his body was completely dispelled. This made Long Xiaoyun realize the difference in strength between the two sides.

He certainly wasn't convinced.

I've decided to hold back for now.

"Your expression is quite interesting~" Fang Yunhua lowered his head, and his grin revealed eight white teeth. Under the sunlight, these gleaming white teeth looked particularly dazzling, and Long Xiaoyun was definitely dazzled by them.

He remained silent, partly because he was intimidated by Fang Yunhua's 'power' and unable to utter a single word, and partly because the situation before him was completely different from what he had come to know, which had a certain impact on him.

Just as he began to think about how to deal with this great demon king, the other party's figure suddenly disappeared.

"We have plenty of time. Let's take our time and have fun!"

Long Xiaoyun did not respond. After standing in this secluded corner for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he angrily stomped all the parts into pieces.

"Play! Play! I'll let you play!"

Enraged, Long Xiaoyun gasped for breath, but as the bizarre image of the tentacle monster flashed through his mind, a sense of fear welled up within him.

He wouldn't dare to retaliate directly!

But he's a child, so naturally he has his own way of solving things!
He then jogged up to find Long Xiaoyun.

"Father! I have something to say!"

Then he truthfully recounted how Fang Yunhua threatened him, how he turned into a tentacle monster, and how he destroyed all his hidden weapons. In short, his main point was to file a complaint and make sure it was done properly!
Long Xiaoyun remained expressionless throughout.

After listening to Long Xiaoyun explain everything, he simply said one sentence.

"I see."

Seeing Long Xiaoyun's expression, he immediately realized that Long Xiaoyun was treating him as someone who had asked for leave.

"Father, I'm telling the truth!"

"Xiaoyun! Stop fooling around!" Long Xiaoyun scolded sternly, almost making Long Xiaoyun cry. He continued, "Don't try anything funny with your Brother Fang anymore. This is the last warning!"

Long Xiaoyun had previously examined Fang Yunhua's physical condition in detail and knew how poor his martial arts aptitude was. So, Long Xiaoyun's claim that Fang Yunhua's power directly suppressed him to the point of being unable to move was pure nonsense.

As for the tentacle monster that Long Xiaoyun talked about, isn't that just a child's wild imagination?
More than a decade ago, he had felt the pressure of 'power' from Li Xunhuan, but so much time had passed, and Fang Yunhua's 'power' had unique characteristics, as well as his preconceived understanding of Fang Yunhua.

This makes it impossible for him to even think about that aspect.

But he knew his son's true nature all too well.

Normally, he could tolerate their antics, but after realizing how many connections Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er's exceptional modeling attributes could attract, he naturally couldn't let Long Xiaoyun continue to act recklessly.

Long Xiaoyun looked at her stern-faced father, but couldn't utter a single word.

Besides knowing that he couldn't convince Long Xiaoyun, there was another crucial reason: he saw Fang Yunhua again!

The other party was in Long Xiaoyun's blind spot, yet Long Xiaoyun was still able to see him, and at this moment he was showing a sinister smile full of malice!
"Father! Look!"

Long Xiaoyun quickly turned Long Xiaoyun's face to the left, only to find that he was facing an empty corner of the garden.

"I told you to stop fooling around!"

Long Xiaoyun was truly enraged. He slapped Long Xiaoyun's small hand away and forcefully poked his fingers into her forehead.

"If this happens again, you'll be locked up for a month!"

Long Xiaoyun lowered her head in despair, and by sheer coincidence, she caught a glimpse of Fang Yunhua grinning at her from the corner of her eye!

He tried to speak again, but as soon as he uttered the word, the other person's figure vanished in a flash, prompting him to quickly change his words, "Father, I understand."

"Ah."
