The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 174 Sun Xiaohong and Ding Baiyun

"I understand. You can continue to follow up."

After listening to Qin Xiaoyi's report, Fang Yunhua couldn't help but marvel at the limitless potential of human beings.

Long Xiaoyun has become completely obsessed with killing Li Xunhuan, but considering his current situation, it makes sense.

The marital conflict is escalating, and there is a possibility that the marriage could collapse completely at any time.

The disgruntled dog son has once again taken the person he most wants to kill as his godfather.

Now, the other party's "family of three" lives happily in that small building every day.

For the sake of his so-called plan, Long Xiaoyun acted like an incompetent husband, not daring to ask a single question, because he knew very well that if he did, Lin Shiyin would definitely retaliate.

As for Li Xunhuan, he might be morally condemned and take a step back, or even leave Xingyun Manor altogether.

But how could Long Xiaoyun let the other party leave? He had put so much effort into preparing, and if the other party just walked away, wouldn't all his humiliation have been for nothing?

Only by killing Li Xunhuan can his life return to normal.

Now it seems that Long Xiaoyun can only use this reason to convince himself, just like a gambler who gradually pushes all his chips onto the table.

"This Ding Baiyun..."

Fang Yunhua looked at Sun Xiaohong, whose face was still flushed. She had been like this all day because she had been fooling around with Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er for the past two days, creating a whole new way to play.

On the first night, she returned to her favorite wardrobe and listened to music all night long, feeling sticky and fuzzy.

On the second night, Lin Xian'er came up with a new trick, pretending to get Sun Xiaohong drunk, but in reality, Sun Xiaohong remained sober. She was then placed on the bed and allowed to experience the afterglow of pleasure up close.

More accurately, she temporarily played the role of an incompetent wife, pitifully listening to Xiao Fang being manipulated by the bully Lin Xian'er with a set of "you didn't want to do this either" rhetoric.

So exciting~
This made Sun Xiaohong still fantasize about what games would be played tonight!
"You should go back first," Fang Yunhua gestured to Qin Xiaoyi.

After Qin Xiaoyi left with a knowing look, Fang Yunhua looked at Sun Xiaohong, who was still giggling foolishly, with a somewhat helpless gaze.

The other party is currently in the state of a red-warm happy puppy. After poking the other party's cheek and feeling the scalding temperature from its skin, this will also awaken the red-warm puppy in the imagination.

"I...I...I...I wasn't thinking anything strange!"

This self-deceiving approach brought a knowing smile to Fang Yunhua's face.

"Yes, yes, you don't."

After meeting the other person's gaze, Sun Xiaohong lowered her head and said somewhat shyly.

Where is Sister Xian'er?

"She went to find Sister Shiyin."

When "Sister Shiyin" was mentioned, Sun Xiaohong was a little dazed. At night, the three of them played games happily, while during the day, Lin Xian'er would take Sun Xiaohong to see Lin Shiyin.

Sun Xiaohong originally thought she could quickly become best friends with Lin Shiyin, but unexpectedly, Lin Shiyin had a hidden hostility towards her.

"She seems to dislike me."

"She's more aligned with me and Xian'er, so you've probably revealed some of your thoughts."

This is what die-hard CP fans are like~
Lin Shiyin was willing to stand up to Long Xiaoyun for this before, so she naturally wouldn't be friendly to this suddenly intervening third party. That's why Lin Xian'er went to see Lin Shiyin alone today, wanting to clarify some things.

“I’ve revealed some of my thoughts.” After thinking for a moment, Sun Xiaohong lowered her head again.

What can women talk about? Nothing more than men.
This inevitably leads to a discussion of Li Xunhuan and Fang Yunhua. When it comes to Li Xunhuan, the three women unleash a barrage of outrageous ideas, making this young hero seem less impressive than a nobody on the street.

When talking about Fang Yunhua, Sun Xiaohong seemed a bit more enthusiastic, which immediately alerted the perceptive Lin Shiyin to her ulterior motives.

"I don't necessarily need to be friends with her!"

Sun Xiaohong, who was initially a little shy, seemed to have figured something out. She raised her head and looked at Fang Yunhua with determination.

Fang Yunhua nodded in agreement, and then brought up Ding Baiyun.

"She's here? And she's staying in the villa next door?"

"Well, for the time being, it's not suitable for Xian'er to meet with her."

"So, what Brother Fang means is..."

"Go and spend two days with her. Once Long Xiaoyun's plan progresses, we can then assess the true stance of these two powerful families."

"it is good!"

Sun Xiaohong patted her bulging chest with confidence, and the trembling inevitably attracted Fang Yunhua's very gentlemanly gaze. This made Sun Xiaohong return to her rosy-cheeked puppy state, but then she subconsciously straightened her chest again.

Not long after Fang Yunhua finished talking with Sun Xiaohong, a servant came to report that Ding Baiyun from next door was already on his way.

Fang Yunhua called out to Afei, who was still frantically waving at the plum tree, and the two quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

Sun Xiaohong hadn't recovered from her shyness when she noticed Ding Baiyun, wrapped in a white cloak, walking straight towards her. Through the fluffy outer garment, she could clearly see the hem of her gauze dress peeking out from under it, and couldn't help but think to herself that the other woman really was here to compete in beauty.

When Ding Baiyun first saw Sun Xiaohong, he also looked somewhat surprised.

"Xiaohong?"

"Baiyun!"

The two hugged each other, laughing and joking, showing no sign of the annoyance Sun Xiaohong had displayed just two days earlier when she was berating the other.

Afei and Fang Yunhua appeared to have left, but in reality, they were standing on the roof of a small building not far away. Fang Yunhua was also somewhat curious about the situation of this Fairy Baiyun, after all, she was a ruthless person who had been holding Bai Tianyu's head for nearly twenty years.

She could easily compete for the title of the most madwoman in Gu Long's martial arts world.

However, upon seeing Ding Baiyun now, he felt that she was not as frightening as he had expected. In terms of appearance alone, she was indeed qualified to be compared with Lin Xian'er, but she was only at the level of having obtained an admission ticket.

While both possess a mature and glamorous appearance, their visual impact is slightly less than that of Lin Xian'er. Furthermore, their features, enhanced by their overall demeanor, have a sharper edge, creating a sense of beauty that, while undeniably striking, also draws people away.

Because of the white cloak covering her, her figure was not visible, but she was quite tall, especially compared to Sun Xiaohong, who has a cute and adorable style, she appeared even taller.

What's most eye-catching is her fair skin, a cool-toned white, the kind that gives off a cool vibe. Even dressed in all white, it makes her skin appear even more serene and aloof.

"Is this what women are like?"

Fang Yunhua smiled upon hearing Afei's mutterings.

Because Sun Xiaohong and Ding Baiyun acted like best friends who could talk about anything, and in the past two days, Afei had frequently heard Sun Xiaohong complaining about Ding Baiyun, almost saying she was completely worthless. "She's a woman, but she's only superficially best friends."

The gentle breeze carried their voices to Fang Yunhua's ears. After hearing what they were talking about, he found the situation to be getting even more interesting.

Why are you asking about Sister Xian'er's background?

Sun Xiaohong did not hide her relationship with Lin Xian'er, which is why she looked puzzled when she heard Ding Baiyun's question.

"I've only heard rumors, but the title of the most beautiful woman in the world was deliberately created."

"It seems like it was deliberately erected, right?"

Sun Xiaohong thought for a moment and then nodded. She had heard Lin Xian'er mention that the martial arts Lin Xian'er practiced required absolute confidence in one's own beauty, so this title would help her progress in cultivation.

"Really?" Ding Baiyun's eyes widened, her expression now completely ruining her initial aloof and arrogant demeanor. "And the person behind her?"

Ding Baiyun couldn't quite put it into words, but Sun Xiaohong understood perfectly.

"You mean the sugar daddy?"

"Yes! That word is so accurate. Do you know who her sugar daddy is?"

The big spender is Fang Yunhua.
But Sun Xiaohong didn't say anything; she just stared straight at Ding Baiyun.

"Your question is a bit presumptuous."

"You actually know? Tell me quickly, isn't it some powerful middle-aged man in the imperial court who has a big belly and is bald?"

"What on earth are you thinking about!"

Sun Xiaohong then understood why the other party wasn't in such a hurry to see Lin Xian'er; it turned out they were treating their Xian'er sister like a caged canary kept by some important person.

"Just tell me, does she have a sugar daddy?"

Sun Xiaohong remained silent.

"Is her sugar daddy very close to her?"

Sun Xiaohong remained silent.

"So, is the reason she established the title of the most beautiful woman in the world also to satisfy some of her sugar daddy's little quirks?"

That seems to be true to some extent, after all, Lin Xian'er had told her in private that she had the halo of being the most beautiful woman in the world, which made Brother Fang even more infatuated with her, like a kind of status bonus.

For example, the incompetent wife she played last night.
Seeing Sun Xiaohong fall silent again, Ding Baiyun smiled smugly.

"Then I'll give her that title!"

"You...you're really generous."

Sun Xiaohong was speechless for a moment.

Although the topic has now veered off course, Sun Xiaohong has not forgotten to probe the Ding family's true intentions.

Ding Baiyun didn't have many reservations or taboos about this matter, perhaps because she felt she was on the same side as Sun Xiaohong, so she spoke very frankly.

"It's just a matter of building connections. My brother is about to become the head of the manor. Just like when those famous sects want to appoint a young leader, they need the candidate to have some outstanding performance. Naturally, he also needs to establish his prestige in these two years."

"Haven't you noticed that Xingyun Manor is now a place where outsiders cannot interfere?"

Ding Baiyun said nonchalantly.

"That's my brother's problem."

"As for Li Xunhuan, I remember that the Li family and your Ding family used to have some social interactions."

“You said it yourself, it was in the past. The fact that that young scholar Li gave away his clan’s land became the biggest joke in our circle. Of course, there are some people who admire him. I heard that your grandfather praised his behavior in private. But most of the elders of the Ding family keep their distance from him.”

When her grandfather was mentioned, Sun Xiaohong looked helpless again. She didn't know what kind of spell Li Xunhuan had cast on her, but Sun Baifa had a strange admiration for Li Xunhuan.

Therefore, after officially joining Tianji Tower and learning about some of the related plans, she directly refused to let Sun Baifa accompany her, fearing that the First Li Chui would jump out halfway and cause trouble.

Then Sun Xiaohong looked at Ding Baiyun.

"This 'keeping a respectful distance' means..."

"It's always best to keep your distance from a ruthless person who can give away his fiancée and clan territory without batting an eye." Ding Baiyun curled his lip, clearly also having some objections to his actions.

Or rather, any woman who knows about Li Tanhua's experiences would find it difficult to continue speaking out for him. In the original storyline, Sun Xiaohong, who was deeply influenced by Sun Baifa, the number one Li fan, would inexplicably think that her own pigeon's boundless love was so remarkable.

"Those rumors circulating outside..."

Ding Baiyun's expression became much more serious. She was no naive or innocent girl; her pride was certainly worthy of it.

“My brother probably wants to take a look first and wait. After all, it involves a powerful person ranked third on the Weapon Ranking, so we always need to be cautious. But the Nangong family might be more eager.”

"The Nangong family. Who has come this time?"

“Nangong Yuan”.

Fang Yunhua, who was eavesdropping on the rooftop, raised an eyebrow. This name was not too unfamiliar, whether in the intelligence records of Tianji Tower or in his memories combined with the original plot.

First of all, Nangong Yuan is not very old, about the same age as A Fei now, but he is a brand that the Nangong family deliberately created for the outside world, and he has been known as a genius since childhood.

This age issue also indicates that he possesses the impetuousness and recklessness of a young person.

Secondly, in "The Eagle Flies in September", which is about twenty years after the main storyline, it is clearly stated that Nangong Yuan was one of the seven great masters in the martial arts world at that time, but he existed as a background character.

The name was used to highlight Guo Songyang's cousin, Guo Ding, who defeated Nangong Yuan with a single move called "Heaven and Earth Burning," losing in a completely humiliating way.

"Xiao Hong, don't get too involved in this matter," Ding Baiyun suddenly earnestly instructed Sun Xiao Hong.

This made Sun Xiaohong look puzzled.

"My elder brother said that the pursuit of the Plum Blossom Bandit has become a huge hot topic in the martial arts world. It's confirmed that the seven major sects are involved, and who knows how many other forces and experts are secretly involved."

Sensing the clear concern in Ding Baiyun's words, Sun Xiaohong felt somewhat embarrassed.

"How could you..."

"If you do something reckless, I'm afraid you'll drag me down with you, and your family might even come after me!"

Sun Xiaohong snorted, instantly transforming into a resentful little dog. She felt the concern, and she fully appreciated the sincerity in the last sentence!
