The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 145 A Peculiar Team Composition

However, this time, Lin Xian'er was not the only one who left with Fang Yunhua.

Then he looked at Long Xiaoyun, who was also carrying a small package and whose face was a mixture of laughter and tears, and Qin Xiaoyi, who had volunteered to be the coachman and was now following her eldest son, Qin Zhong, to explain various follow-up matters.

He also felt that there was something slightly off about the composition of his team.

The former left with Fang Yunhua because of Lin Shiyin's request. Although she had only entrusted her child to him for a month, she had seen the changes in Long Xiaoyun and was delighted with the changes in her beloved son. Naturally, she hoped that Fang Yunhua would continue to supervise him more closely.

Anyway, Fang Yunhua had told her and Long Xiaoyun before he left that he was just going out to relax and would be back in a month. Since her relationship with Long Xiaoyun had cooled down recently, causing tension in the family atmosphere, it would be better to take the opportunity to let Long Xiaoyun go out and broaden her horizons with him.

As for Qin Xiaoyi, he just wanted to curry favor with Fang Yunhua. After getting a share of the benefits from Cangjian Manor, he had already decided that Fang Yunhua was a powerful figure worth clinging to.

Furthermore, to make the journey south more comfortable, someone would need to take care of things, and Qin Xiaoyi, who had already made a name for himself in this regard, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Qin Xiaoyi simply made up an excuse about needing to travel south with Long Xiaoyun, since the old man was busy appeasing his wife and had no time to pay attention to trivial matters. He even mistakenly thought that the other party had set his sights on Lin Xian'er for Qin Zhong's sake.

"Brother Yunhua, Little Red said she'll meet us outside the city." Lin Xian'er, who had already moved closer to him, whispered in Fang Yunhua's ear, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, and that old man Sun who's been causing trouble lately, he's coming along too."

This put Fang Yunhua's mind at ease.

After all, everyone around him looked like such damn villains.

In particular, the elderly, women, and children are the three most dangerous targets in Gu Long's martial arts world, and he has all three. Moreover, he is a talented player who has achieved remarkable results in the original storyline.

Now, with the addition of a supporting female lead and an elderly grandfather by the protagonist's side, the villainous aura inherent in their own faction can finally be balanced.

As the carriage began to move, Long Xiaoyun, perhaps feeling too pressured to sit with Fang Yunhua, consciously moved outside the carriage to ride with Qin Xiaoyi. This clever fellow was also quite curious to know why the other party was so eager to flatter the Great Demon King.

Or perhaps the other person is also suffering from the torment of the Great Demon King? If so, as fellow patients, the two of them would certainly have plenty to talk about.

Inside the carriage, when it was just Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er, they could freely discuss some important matters.

"Brother Yunhua, Bai Xiaosheng sent a message saying that the progress of the plan may not reach the expected impact due to You Longsheng's interference."

"Even without this experience, I'm still going to work harder."

In the original storyline, in order to capture the Plum Blossom Thief, the bounty offered included a promise from Lin Xian'er, a great beauty already known as the most beautiful woman in the world, to repay the debt with her body.

Fang Yunhua, of course, would never allow his woman to raid a nest.

Therefore, we need to further increase the bounty.

"Once the matter of You Longsheng is settled, it will be spread that the leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits possesses a secret technique that allows a person to remain as vigorous as a young man in his early twenties even at the age of seventy."

This rumor is corroborated by the cases that the Plum Blossom Thief has been committing for a long time.

After all, he first disappeared more than thirty years ago, which means he would be at least seventy years old today. Yet, he remains vigorous in his old age, stealing valuables while indulging in his lustful desires. All of this is the effect of that secret technique.

After hearing this, Lin Xian'er was somewhat convinced by the reason.

Although she wasn't a man, she knew that if this news got out, the pursuit of the Plum Blossom Bandit would be intensified by at least two levels, and some martial arts figures who were originally on the same evil path as the Plum Blossom Bandit would probably not be able to resist such temptation.

It's not just men; some older women who are obsessed with sex are also tempted by this secret technique. Just because they can't practice it doesn't mean they can't get their gigolos to practice it first, since they'll be the ones enjoying it in the end anyway.

"Brother Yunhua, does such a secret technique really exist in the martial arts world?"

"Such an exaggerated one probably doesn't exist, but the secret technique of dual cultivation really does exist."

Fang Yunhua thought of the scapegoat he had already identified. After learning that he was in the world of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword", there was one thing he was determined to obtain at all costs!
He had always been able to build a large harem because of his exceptional talent, but the hellish experience he had in his last life made Fang Yunhua realize that talent has its limits, and he needed external forces to give him another push!
Only when he achieves his true self on that one day will he be qualified to face an even more terrifying, massive battleground.

"I have made the necessary preparations, but it's not time to go fishing yet. The most important thing now is to spread the title of your number one beauty in the world to every corner of the martial arts world."

"Are you going to take advantage of my fame?" Lin Xian'er asked excitedly.

"Yes, after all, this target is an old pervert. I'll just use your fame to lure him in; I won't do anything more."

This is crucial to whether he can successfully obtain the dual cultivation technique, and he is determined to get it!
"If Brother Yunhua needs it, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'!" Fang Yunhua flicked Lin Xian'er's forehead in annoyance. He recalled the moment when she first awakened her memories, her face covered in tears, her eyes filled with determination, showing her unwavering resolve to dedicate everything to him and continue supporting him.

Is there really any man who can accept this situation without any burden?

Using the other party's reputation to moor the nest was a unique occurrence for Fang Yunhua, and he felt somewhat awkward about it.

After laughing for a while, Lin Xian'er nestled obediently in Fang Yunhua's arms, her soft hair brushing against his chin, her laughter filled with a deep sense of satisfaction.

The carriage stopped immediately. Since Qin Xiaoyi had been informed beforehand to pick them up, Sun Xiaohong and Sun Baifa boarded the carriage directly.

The former's expression after witnessing the intimate scene between the two was quite interesting. It showed a longing for the beautiful scene, some inexplicable emotions, and even an unusual sense of pleasure in his eyes.

As for Sun Baifa, he simply snorted.

He had made up his mind that he must not speak to Fang Yunhua first; this was a matter of dignity and pride for a senior!

After nodding familiarly to Sun Baifa, Fang Yunhua didn't respond to him, but instead looked at Sun Xiaohong, whose face was inexplicably red.

"Miss Sun, thank you for your help to Xian'er these past few days."

Regardless of whether the other party was fooled by Lin Xian'er, the proper manners should still be observed. Besides, this is Fang Yunhua's first real conversation with Sun Xiaohong.

This allowed him to openly observe her. In terms of beauty, or rather, striking appearance with vibrant colors, she was naturally not as stunning as Lin Xian'er.

The other person was the kind of pretty and sunny young woman who looked both clever and gentle. What unconsciously attracted Fang Yunhua's attention was her two very distinctive long braids.

Great hair quality!
This reminded Fang Yunhua of the double ponytail hairstyle that Lin Xian'er had suddenly come up with a couple of days ago, which she carried off with exceptional skill.

Tsk!
It's all Lin Xian'er's fault! Fang Yunhua considers himself a fairly decent person, at least not so vulgar as to have his mind uncontrollably conjure up lewd thoughts whenever he sees a beautiful woman.

But lately, Lin Xian'er has been telling him how deep Sun Xiaohong's secrets are, and that the other party's two long braids feel really good to the touch. She even started impersonating the other party in a wicked way!
That's utterly terrible!

He immediately activated the Mingyu Gong, a mental cultivation technique whose characteristics helped him regain his composure as quickly as possible.

While he calmed down, Sun Xiaohong began to get nervous. After all, in her eyes, Fang Yunhua was the most handsome man in the world. Being stared at by such a man, coupled with the constant teasing from Lin Xian'er, made her even more anxious.

This would also make her fantasize.

Even in terms of imagination, she was more open-minded than Fang Yunhua. In one dream, she was with Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er.

When she woke up, she still had a silly smile on her face. It wasn't until Sun Baifa knocked her awake with his pipe that she fully recovered.

Therefore, when their eyes met, he inevitably began to drift off-track again.

"Miss Sun? Miss Sun?"

"Little Red, what strange things are you thinking about again?" Lin Xian'er, who had obediently gotten up from Fang Yunhua's arms and sat down next to him, took the opportunity to tease him.

This made Sun Xiaohong, whose face was becoming increasingly flushed, lower her head and couldn't say a word.

This made Sun Baifa, who was standing to the side in a fit of pique and had already secretly vowed never to pay any attention to Fang Yunhua, quite anxious.

In the end, nothing mattered as much as his granddaughter.

He decisively took over Fang Yunhua's words.

"The Sun family also benefited a lot from this operation, so this can't really be considered help. Besides, the two women have already become sworn sisters in private, so they're all on our side."

With Sun Baifa's keen eyesight, he could naturally sense that Lin Xian'er's influence on Sun Xiaohong was deepening day by day. That punch earlier had left the old man stunned for a long time.

Privately, she had repeatedly confirmed that the other party had not actually caused any harm to Sun Xiaohong; their only malicious intention was...
Sun Baifa glanced at Fang Yunhua, a hint of resentment creeping into his eyes, but he made no attempt to stop him.

After all, in the original storyline, Sun Xiaohong was pursuing Li Xunhuan, who had feelings for Lin Shiyin and was old enough to be her father, and he never tried to stop her.

It's clear that he's quite open-minded about relationships; as long as Sun Xiaohong truly likes him, that's all that matters.

As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, but when it comes to his own issues, some things are not so easy to talk about.

"Should I call you Young Master Fang, or Master Fang?"

Sun Baifa deliberately lowered his voice to ensure that only the four people in the carriage could hear him. He was obviously aware that the other party was hiding his identity, so there was no need for him to deliberately ruin things for him.

"Either is fine." Fang Yunhua looked at Sun Baifa with a calm expression. "Does Mr. Sun have something to ask? My fees are not low."

“You’re going to charge me?” Sun Baifa had imagined what it would be like to talk to Fang Yunhua, but this situation had never happened before, even though Tianji Tower had made its business public, saying that as long as someone could afford it, they could contact and talk to the owner of Tianji Tower privately.

The other party can answer the customer's most pressing questions based on their specific situation.

However, those who can afford this price are not aware of the need to be taken advantage of, while those who are willing to pay it do not have the capital to do so.

Sun Baifa happened to be a customer who could afford the price and was also very good at being ripped off.

"Because I feel that I currently have the information that Mr. Sun needs." Fang Yunhua paused and said, "Now I am saying these words in the name of the Master of Tianji Tower."

This made Sun Baifa, who was about to taunt the other party, retract the words that were about to come out. He looked at Fang Yunhua with a solemn expression, and naturally understood that the other party had a secret that he needed to know.

Otherwise, such unwarranted teasing would completely ruin the relationship between the two parties, which was originally quite good. Such a foolish approach would never come from the owner of Tianji Tower.

"How much?"

Fang Yunhua tapped the scabbard that was already lying across his lap. He did not point the Lingxiao Sword at the other party, but simply grasped the scabbard, which was carved from a thousand-year-old dark wood into the shape of a dragon coiled around a pillar, with a jade bead in its mouth.

Sun Baifa glanced at it and sighed.

"A fine sword, a fine scabbard."

"It is a fine sword, and its scabbard is the best in the world. Now it is a sword."

As soon as the words were spoken, a chilling cold arose in the carriage, causing Long Xiaoyun and Qin Xiaoyi, who were rushing to catch the train, to turn around and see what had happened inside.

In that instant, the two felt the chill seep from their heads to their limbs and bones, and it felt as if a sword had slashed across their necks, but no blood seeped out, only a few severed hairs.

The intense, penetrating cold dissipated even more rapidly.

Just because of a single sentence spoken inside the carriage, everything seemed like an illusion to the two of them.

"Keep on going."

"Yes." Qin Xiaoyi's expression was undoubtedly more respectful. He was also secretly glancing at Long Xiaoyun beside him. Apart from seeing him suddenly shiver several times, his expression did not show too much surprise or shock.

As expected, the other party knew something about that young master Fang's situation.

Long Xiaoyun was genuinely unsurprised by Fang Yunhua's power, having watched him transform into a tentacle monster and wreak havoc in various black seas, red moons, and icy caves for nights on end.

The visual impact of that was truly insignificant compared to the mere trembling from before.

He then noticed a fleeting look of shock in Qin Xiaoyi's eyes, which led him to guess that the reason she respected Fang Yunhua so much was probably not because they were fellow sufferers, but for some other reason.

This mystery also sparked Long Xiaoyun's curiosity, but he was more aware that it was fine to find out the truth by going with the flow, but if he actively caused trouble, he would probably be haunted by nightmares every day.

This made him more obediently look straight ahead, showing no intention of eavesdropping on the conversation inside the carriage.
