The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 144 The perceptive Lin Xian'er
The backyard of Xingyun Manor.

After watching Lin Xian'er recount the whole process with great enthusiasm, Fang Yunhua realized that the other party's scheme against You Longsheng was merely a convenient move.

More importantly, she wanted to use this to influence Sun Xiaohong, gradually making her values ​​lean towards her own.

"Aren't you paying a little too much attention to her?"

The Sun family is indeed quite powerful, and Sun Baifa is one of the strongest people in the world, but Fang Yunhua still finds it hard to understand why Lin Xian'er puts so much effort into Sun Xiaohong.

"I need help." Lin Xian'er looked at Fang Yunhua with a serious expression.

Fang Yunhua, on the other hand, had even more question marks on his head.

"What helper? The plan regarding the Plum Blossom Thief is progressing smoothly. Although there might be some minor troubles later, I can basically handle them. Or should I say..."

He looked into Lin Xian'er's affectionate eyes, her dark pupils reflecting his own image. In those eyes, there was truly only him; in every sense of the word, he had filled her entire being.

At this moment, he seemed to have vaguely guessed some of the reasons.

This also made his gaze towards Lin Xian'er reveal a very complex and difficult-to-explain emotion.

"you"

Just as he was about to speak, a slender, delicate finger pressed against his lips.

"If you're going to lie to me, I'd rather you say nothing at all. Women are always sensitive to feelings, and I'm pretty sure that you only have me right now, which actually makes me very content."

She then gently embraced Fang Yunhua, pressing her face tightly against his chest.

The heartbeat was strong, but she was also certain that the image in his heart was not just her.

Just as Fang Yunhua could see that the other person's eyes were filled with her image, she could not ignore the longing expression that Fang Yunhua sometimes revealed.

But why is it longing?
However, it evokes a deeper, more unforgettable, and more sorrowful sense of nostalgia.
Because that wasn't goodbye forever.

What happened to Fang Yunhua cannot be dismissed with a simple explanation of her past. Lin Xian'er didn't say anything because she knew there was a reason why the other party wouldn't speak.

She didn't know what the future held, but she was willing to trust her intuition. If she met the right person, it was always good to prepare early.

Moreover, and very importantly, she's been struggling to cope all by herself these past few days, and she's starting to feel the strain.

Moreover, the Sun family is quite powerful and can be an asset to Fang Yunhua and Tianji Tower.

"Sigh," Fang Yunhua sighed.

He realized that the other person was using all their cunning on him.

"You should at least ask what I think, how come you picked it first? Was this a choice for you?"

"Don't you think Little Red is cute? Her voice is so beautiful, she'll probably be even more captivating by then. Besides, she's quite the hidden gem; although she looks like a little girl, she's actually..."

After hearing the other person's heartbeat start to quicken, Lin Xian'er let out a soft moan.

"You stinky man, you're such a good actor!"

"Why would I pretend!" Fang Yunhua said, feeling wronged. Unlike the young master Fang, who was eager for quick success and instant benefits even while living off his wife, this time he genuinely believed in taking things as they come.

Moreover, with the cruel lessons of his previous life still fresh in his mind, he naturally wouldn't easily develop feelings for someone else.

Lin Xian'er's situation is a preordained, locked-in marriage, and because of her, Fang Yunhua's standards in all aspects have been raised considerably. Ordinary pretty girls really can't arouse his interest.

Imagine you're holding a stunningly beautiful woman in your arms, and she's whispering sweet nothings in your ear about another pretty girl, even pointing out her exceptional talent at certain moments. Any normal man would find it impossible to remain unmoved.

Clearly sensing something, Lin Xian'er deliberately squirmed several times in his arms. Then, with a cry of surprise, the two figures disappeared into the backyard in an instant.

Even as the moon rose high in the sky, Fang Yunhua looked at Lin Xian'er, whose eyes were still glistening with tears, and who was still murmuring, "No more, no more, really no more."

After planting a deep kiss on her, he walked out of the courtyard with his head held high.

Upon arriving at the back garden, Fang Yunhua let out another soft sigh.

He truly hadn't expected Lin Xian'er to be so prescient. Naturally, she couldn't understand his situation, but due to her keen sensitivity to emotions, she vaguely guessed some of the corresponding truths.

As for Fang Yunhua's question
It all depends on fate. Meeting someone is an unknown journey full of anticipation.

He not only sees each of his lifetimes as a hurdle to overcome in achieving his true self, but he also genuinely enjoys each and every one of these lives.

After calculating the time, Fang Yunhua felt it was necessary to go and keep an eye on Long Xiaoyun for a while.

At this moment, in Long Xiaoyun's room.

Long Xiaoyun was staring wide-eyed, as if waiting for something.

Upon seeing Fang Yunhua suddenly appear before him, he did not scream in surprise, but instead looked at her with anticipation.

You did a good job today.

As Fang Yunhua reached out his hand, Long Xiaoyun instinctively offered her head, which she had just washed that evening, to his hand.

With one, two, three, four
After clapping twelve times, Long Xiaoyun drifted off to sleep, completely satisfied.

Seeing the happy smile on the other person's face, Fang Yunhua shook his head helplessly.

Through this period of verification, he has confirmed that his 'momentum' combined with his extremely high charm attributes gives him a strong ability to manipulate others.

Even a mischievous kid like Long Xiaoyun was tamed by him in just over half a month.

So now all that's left is to patiently wait for the true protagonist to return. But before that, Qin Xiaoyi's performance yesterday made Fang Yunhua feel it was necessary to reward her.

He and Long Xiaoyun, one old and one young, can indeed reduce a lot of trouble for him.

In modern times, they would be two masters of magical combat. With these two around, Fang Yunhua wouldn't need to personally intervene in minor matters, allowing him more time to focus on his martial arts cultivation.

He has already grasped the demonic heart that is a matter of divine and demonic thought. Especially because of his experiences in this world, he can easily enter this demonic state. But what about the other side of his heart that belongs to 'god'?

The key to stopping the killing with divine will is not to restrict the development of the demonic heart, but to ensure that when the demonic heart starts killing, it will not be completely exhausted and unable to survive. Because of the cultivation of the Bright Jade Skill, it actually helps to control the demonic heart.

The divine intent generated by the cultivation technique is not his own 'god'.
-
Time slips away quietly.
The events that occurred at Xingyun Manor inevitably spread, but the negative impact of the false accusation that You Longsheng was the Plum Blossom Bandit was secretly mitigated by several forces of public opinion.

The focus was more on Lin Xian'er's stunning beauty, which led the young master of Youzhuang Manor, a newcomer to the martial arts world, to act recklessly.

If Tianji Tower and the Sun family continued to deliberately smear You Longsheng on this matter, the public opinion they controlled would be able to overwhelm the forces that were secretly helping You Longsheng. However, both Fang Yunhua and Sun Baifa called for a halt to the matter.

They began to tacitly downplay the seriousness of the matter, which also helped to further enhance Lin Xian'er's reputation. In just one month, she was crowned with the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.

During this same month, You Longsheng, who was traveling south to relax, seemingly by chance encountered the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, who is now ranked first on the Weapon Ranking. She took a liking to his appearance at first sight and decisively took him as her male concubine.

This matter, after Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong secretly exerted their efforts, spread like wildfire, even putting the three major sects of Shaolin, Wudang, and Kunlun, who had previously maintained a close relationship with Cangjian Manor, on the spot.

As old friends of the Hidden Dragon Elder, how could the three sect leaders bear to watch Young Master You suffer at the hands of that ferocious beast?

This rumor has damaged the reputation of the three major factions, so they must take some action.

Just five days ago, a powerful force organized by the three sects, led by three elders and with more than fifty disciples going to help, was utterly defeated by the Great Joyful Bodhisattva.

During this time, the adopted son of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, who is also the master of the Miao Paradise Cave, the Five Poisons Child, came to help. He displayed amazing poison skills and crippled more than thirty people along the way.

Later, the disciple of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, Supreme Treasure, also demonstrated remarkable combat prowess, suppressing a senior master from one of the three major sects in a one-on-one situation.

The Tianji Tower rated its combat strength as sufficient to rank it among the top thirty of the new weapons.

Because of this defeat, it is rumored that You Longsheng's master, Tianshan Xueyingzi, who was once the number one swordsman in the world, will soon travel south to rescue his disciple.

Meanwhile, as this wave of war broke out, the Hidden Sword Manor was almost completely emptied out. Apart from a few blacksmiths who had received great kindness from the old manor lord and had not left, the other craftsmen had already begun to decisively choose to find new employers.

After all, as the master of Cangjian Villa, You Longsheng's reputation was almost ruined because of a woman, and then he was kidnapped by the Great Joyful Bodhisattva. Due to the release of the new weapon ranking, the other party's bad reputation spread like wildfire in the martial arts world.

Even if Young Master You returns safely, he will still be tainted with this indelible stain.

In other words, mentioning the name You Longsheng evokes images of his shady side, which inevitably leads to a decline in the reputation that Cangjian Manor has built up over the years.

Now, in order to rescue this young master of the You family, the past favors of the three major sects have been exhausted, and even the reclusive Tianshan Xueyingzi has to come out of seclusion again.

It seems that after all this fuss, the network of relationships that Cangjian Manor has built up over the years will be completely destroyed.

Given this situation, why continue to cling to a ship destined to sink?

Reminded by Fang Yunhua, the Qin family of Hebei, to which Qin Xiaoyi belonged, took the opportunity to recruit two senior blacksmiths and nine apprentices with decent forging skills. They were able to squeeze some benefits out of the Hidden Sword Manor thanks to their swift action.

Otherwise, given the size of the Qin family, if they delay for a few more days, they will be completely outmatched by the various forces that have also realized what was happening and begun to take action.

This made Qin Xiaoyi and his son even more diligent in trying to please Fang Yunhua, because the other party was genuinely generous with his benefits, and the benefits arrived very quickly.

And because of the issue concerning You Longsheng, they also began to speculate about Fang Yunhua's identity.

As for the majority of the profits from Hidden Sword Manor, they were divided up by Tianji Tower and the Sun family, who were the first to act.

Sun Baifa was somewhat dissatisfied with Sun Xiaohong's aimless hanging out with Lin Xian'er and her sudden, unprovoked targeting of You Longsheng.

But Sun Xiaohong's "girl help girl" routine completely stunned Old Man Sun.

Later, seeing the benefits right in front of him and not wanting to miss out, the head of the Sun family, who also had a large family to support, hummed awkwardly a few times, but still secretly instructed the Sun family to continue to cooperate with the Tianji Tower's actions.

In fact, it can be seen from the original storyline that Sun Baifa's mentality has transcended the definition of good or evil in the martial arts world. The reason he chose to intercept Shangguan Jin Hong was not because the Money Gang was considered evil by most martial arts forces.

The problem was that his own granddaughter had taken a liking to Li Xunhuan, and he also greatly admired Li Xunhuan's style of doing things. Meanwhile, the conflict between Li Xunhuan and Shangguan Jin Hong had become an inevitable life-or-death situation.

This meant that when his most beloved granddaughter came to him for help, he had no choice but to go and fight.

But the result was that a bunch of them were given away.
Regarding the pursuit of the Plum Blossom Bandits, some small and medium-sized forces in various places have formed small alliances and begun to respond to the call of the Huashan Sect leader. However, due to the recent troubles involving You Longsheng, a lot of attention has been drawn to them.

Even Fang Yunhua originally planned to stay at Xingyun Manor until Li Xunhuan returned.

But now that he knows the world's number one swordsman is going to rescue his disciple, he naturally won't miss the opportunity to go and watch the battle.

Moreover, the legend of this great master in the martial arts world is that his swordsmanship is characterized by its lightness and unpredictability, which is very similar to Fang Yunhua under the blessing of the demon heart. Although his current sword speed still cannot catch up with Shi Guanyin's full-power burst, he can reach the level of turning one move into seven moves.

However, his attack frequency has also broken through to the point where one sword can become five swords.

By referencing the Seventy-Two Styles of Snow Eagle of Tianshan, he might gain more insights into the innovation of his moves.

As Fang Yunhua decided to head south, he would inevitably need to inform Long Xiaoyun.

After all, they would have to return to Xingyun Manor to ensure the successful conclusion of the Plum Blossom Thief's grand drama. The other party generously prepared a series of travel necessities for Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er.

That impatient attitude made it seem like they were trying to get rid of someone.

Considering Lin Shiyin's recent experiences, Fang Yunhua could understand her situation. Lin Shiyin was still having a cold war with Long Xiaoyun, and she made no attempt to hide her CP fandom, which led her to spread a bunch of confusing ideas to Long Xiaoyun.

In addition, Lin Shiyin often takes Lin Xian'er away from home. In Long Xiaoyun's opinion, it's best to let this source of conflict go out and wander around. As long as they stay away from Lin Shiyin's nose, she should be able to return to her original state quickly.
