The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 178 The Professionalism of a Movie Star!
"Hey! Stop spacing out!"

Sun Xiaohong pouted, guessing that the other person might have accidentally seen Fang Yunhua just now.

After all, she knew that Fang Yunhua and Afei had been lurking on the rooftops, spying and eavesdropping these days.

This matter didn't have much impact on the plan itself; what she was more concerned about was that Ding Baiyun's expression was a bit off.

The intense allure emanating from his eyes touched even this woman's heart.

Moreover, she had seen a similar flirtatious expression before, which was always seen on her own fairy sister after she finished playing games.

In the other person's words, it means she loves him so much that she would give her life for him.

Although Ding Baiyun's condition is not quite at that point, it is clearly a bad omen.

"Are you in heat?" Sister Hong instantly transformed into a Zuan-like person, leaving Ding Baiyun completely bewildered by this question.

The other party also broke free from that strange state.

"What kind of talk is that!"

"Your expression just now was too obvious. Tsk tsk tsk, could it be that you were completely captivated by some random guy you just glanced at? Is this all the dignified Miss Ding is capable of? (ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~"

Sun Xiaohong had really gone all out with her sarcasm, but in her heart she was still silently apologizing for calling Fang Yunhua a bastard.

Of course, Sister Hong also maintained a haughty demeanor on the surface!

She seemed to be saying, "I would never associate with someone as worthless as you."

Even with Ding Baiyun's personality, this was quite explosive.

"What are you talking about! What wild man! What infatuation! I just think he's very suspicious!"

Ding Baiyun picked up the white cloak beside her, shook off the snowflakes, put it back on, and then raised her slender white swan neck towards Sun Xiaohong.

Arrogance was as high as ever, but Sun Xiaohong always felt that the other party had a hint of being tough on the outside but weak on the inside.

"It is suspicious, indeed. What decent person would hide on the roof at this time!"

"Anyone hiding on the roof is definitely not a decent person!"

The two women's eyes met, then they looked away simultaneously. One continued to apologize to Fang Yunhua in her heart, while the other, for some unknown reason, blushed slightly.

However, when the two women looked at each other again, they both adopted extremely high-handed attitudes.

Ding Baiyun was the first to kick the topic away.

"My older brother and the others should be here soon. Do you want to come with me?"

Sun Xiaohong thought for a moment and then nodded. She didn't have anything else to do for the time being, so she would continue to keep an eye on Ding Baiyun!

Furthermore, the other party's current situation makes it worthwhile for her to keep a close eye on them!
-
On the other side, a group of people were gathered in the front hall, whispering among themselves!
"Master Tian is indeed remarkable. Look how fast his staff strike was. Even if Master Long hadn't been there to block it, I don't think Li Xunhuan could have dodged it."

"The Azure Demon Hand truly lives up to its reputation as the ninth-ranked weapon on the weapon ranking list; that palm strike is indeed formidable!"

"That's right, but don't forget about Uncle Zhao. No wonder people say that Uncle Zhao's two legs are worth ten thousand taels of gold. Look at the kick he makes, it's so beautiful."

"As the saying goes, Southern fists and Northern legs, our heroes from the North are naturally skilled in leg techniques."

"But Master Gongsun was no weakling either. If he hadn't intervened in time, Li Xunhuan might not have fallen even after taking a blow."

"Master Tian, ​​Master Zhao, Hero Gongsun, and the Green Demon Hand—hey, even for a powerful figure ranked third on the Weapon Ranking, Li Xunhuan is truly unlucky to have encountered these four today."

"That's true, but if it weren't for Master Long—"

"So what if he's Master Long? Wasn't he loyal enough to Li Xunhuan?"

"Master Long is indeed a loyal friend. Li Xunhuan is really lucky to have made a friend like him!"

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun sat on a mahogany chair in the hall. Hearing these words, he felt as if he had been pricked by needles, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Li Xunhuan lay on the ground, coughing incessantly.

Long Xiaoyun was probably overjoyed inside, but tears still welled up in his eyes.

This one move alone is enough to make him worthy of the title of Best Actor!
Even now, he continues to play the role of a good older brother.

"Brother, it's all my fault. It's your misfortune to have me as a friend. Your whole life has been dragged down by me."

Li Xunhuan struggled to suppress his cough and forced a smile, saying, "Brother, I just want you to understand one thing: if I were to live my life all over again, I would still befriend you without hesitation."

Qin Xiaoyi, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He himself felt that this Little Li Tanhua was truly beyond saving, so he might as well just have someone beat him to death.

His gaze then fell on Long Xiaoyun. This guy really put on a great performance today. He probably would never have such a perfect occasion in his life to make him act so oblivious to the world around him.

The next second, this movie star was no longer satisfied with silently shedding tears; he chose a more dramatic performance style and burst into tears.

"But...if I hadn't stopped you from attacking, how could you have...how could you have..."

Yes, if you hadn't stopped him, he would have already put on a complete X.

Qin Xiaoyi couldn't help but continue to mutter complaints to herself.

His gaze returned to Li Xunhuan's gentle face. Who knows how the other could show such an expression when they were looking like this?

"I know that whatever you do, brother, is for my own good, and I am only grateful!"

Ouch!

Qin Xiaoyi said she felt like throwing up!

After truly seeing the scene from God's perspective, he felt that Long Xiaoyun was frighteningly hypocritical, and that Little Li Tan Hua was such a waste of his excellent skills. He didn't know how he had the brains to train so well.

Or perhaps it's just that in this world, fools are blessed.

Then his gaze secretly fell on Zhao Zhengyi, and he noticed that Zhao Zhengyi's expression towards Long Xiaoyun, Long Xiaoyun's first partner, was also a little strange.

Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable. If you have bad intentions, this is nothing. Even if you fight Li Xunhuan openly, you'll still praise him as a courageous hero.

But what is Long Xiaoyun doing now? He's been plotting against Li Xunhuan the whole time, trying to ruin his reputation and kill him without a proper body. Yet he's pretending to be a good guy the whole time. Even though he's the worst one, he's still stubbornly putting on a show of brotherly love in this situation.

If it were a typical villain, they would probably have already revealed themselves as the mastermind by this point.

But Long Xiaoyun wouldn't!
He wants to keep acting!
"But why didn't you tell them you weren't the Plum Blossom Thief! Why—why—"

Zhao Zhengyi's gaze toward Long Xiaoyun grew increasingly wary.

After all, they were of one mind in dealing with Li Xunhuan, but if some conflicts arose between them after this matter was over, given Long Xiaoyun's deep cunning, he would probably start to play him.

Now, witnessing the other party's extraordinary acting skills, especially the profound cunning that allowed him to continue acting even in this situation, he found it hard not to be wary of his good fourth brother. Considering that the other party even used his own wife as bait, this ruthless individual was only lacking in martial arts skills; otherwise, he would at least be a martial arts alliance leader!
When he looked at Li Xunhuan again, his gaze held a hint of pity.

Especially since the other party responded in such an idiotic way.

"Life and death are trivial matters. I have already lived enough in this life. What joy is there in living, and what pity in dying? Why should I bow and scrape before these petty and despicable people!"

Your older brother is the real scoundrel.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyi and Zhao Zhengyi reached a tacit understanding on the same point of view.

At this moment, Tian Qi, who had been watching the brotherly bond between Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan with a smile, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Well said, well said!"

Gongsun Moyun, standing to the side, also sneered: "He knows that no matter what he says today, we won't let him go, so he can only act like a shrew and curse in the street, so that he can at least have some verbal satisfaction before he dies!"

"Indeed, things have come to this point, and I only wish to die. But I have no throwing knives left in my hand. Why are you all still unwilling to make a move?"

Li Xunhuan had indeed resolved to die.

But for some inexplicable reason, he suddenly thought of someone.

Fang Yunhua!
He didn't know why he thought of this new friend with whom he hadn't known each other for very long.

But he recalled that the other party's purpose was also to steal plum blossoms.

But after looking around, he couldn't find the other person.

What about Fang Yunhua?

Lao Li didn't say a word about the matter, perhaps because he didn't want to involve his new friend, or perhaps because he was beginning to harbor that one in ten thousand unrealistic expectation.

For some reason, he recalled the other party's veiled insults at the time.

If Fang Yunhua were really here, he might also make a few sarcastic remarks to him, but sarcastic as it may be, he believed that Fang Yunhua would never think that he was the Plum Blossom Thief.

Besides, if you want the other person to speak, their words can be far more damaging than your own.

He then noticed that Gongsun Moyun's withered and sallow face had turned red again and again.

Tsk, this is nothing. If Fang Yunhua were to start criticizing here, Gongsun Moyun would probably just dig a hole in the ground and disappear.

Zhao Zhengyi, who had previously felt some pity for Li Xunhuan, also turned ashen-faced, since he had been included in the mockery that had just been directed at Li Xunhuan.

Not long ago, he lost face in front of Tie Chuanjia.

At his age, there aren't many things he can care about, but his reputation is undoubtedly among the top three.

So he said in a deep voice, "If we kill you now, there will inevitably be more unscrupulous people like you in the martial world. If we are using public office for private gain, we will kill you in a fair and just manner."

He really cares about his reputation; even when he kills someone, he wants to make sure no one can find fault with him.

This provoked a cold snort from Qingmo Shou Yi Ku.

After all, this guy with blue eyes really wanted to kill Li Xunhuan directly, but Long Xiaoyun and the others wouldn't agree and insisted on making him acknowledge his identity as the leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits first.

After some haggling, the two sides finally agreed to let Yi Ku be the executioner, which appeased Yi Ku.

But looking at the ongoing drama on the field, he felt he had had enough.

Li Xunhuan paid no attention to Yi Ku; he was targeting Zhao Zhengyi, whom he believed was the mastermind behind his plot. As Long Xiaoyun's sworn brother, Zhao Zhengyi naturally had ample time and opportunity to set up this scheme.

"Zhao Zhengyi, I really admire you. Although you are full of wicked and immoral thoughts, you speak only words of benevolence and morality, and you don't even blush at all."

At this moment, Tian Qi angrily asserted his presence: "Fine, you surnamed Li, you've got guts. If you want to die quickly, I have a way."

Li Xunhuan glanced at him sideways: "I originally wanted to curse you a few times, but I was afraid of dirtying my mouth."

Tian Qi ignored him and smiled, saying, "If you are willing to write a letter of repentance and confess your crimes, we will let you die comfortably now. You will have gotten what you wanted and will not have died unjustly."

Without a second thought, Li Xunhuan immediately replied, "Alright, I'll tell you, you write."

Even at this point, Long Xiaoyun is still acting; his dedication to acting is truly remarkable.

"Brother! You can't mess with him!"

Li Xunhuan ignored him and continued, "My sins are too numerous to count. I have been hypocritical, treacherous, corrupt, sowing discord, taking advantage of others' unpreparedness to carry out secret attacks, and committed almost every immoral and despicable act, yet I still arrogantly consider myself extraordinary!"

This could be considered a veiled attack, and the expressions of the people present were somewhat subtle, though only they knew who was being insulted.

With a loud slap, Zhao Zhengyi struck Li Xunhuan across the face with a backhand!
Someone's panicking! Clearly, someone's panicking!

Li Xunhuan maintained his smile: "It's alright. He slapped me, I'll just treat it as being bitten by a mad dog."

"Listen up, you surnamed Li. Even if I don't want to kill you, I can still make you wish you were dead. Do you believe me?"

Qin Xiaoyi shook his head as he watched Zhao Zhengyi, who had been provoked by just a few words. He suddenly couldn't understand how he had ended up becoming sworn brothers with these guys in the past.

Li Xunhuan laughed loudly: "If I were afraid of you despicable, shameless, hypocritical villains, I would be unworthy of being a man! Show me what you've got."

Zhao Zhengyi shouted, "Good!"

Long Xiaoyun sat in the chair, trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, forgive me, you are a hero, but I... am a coward, I..."

Li Xunhuan interrupted him: "This is not your fault, brother. If I had a wife and children, I would have done the same thing as you."

If his wife and children hadn't been mentioned, things would have been fine. But once they were brought up, even the very dedicated Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but freeze for a moment. Perhaps only Qin Xiaoyi, who had been secretly observing him, noticed the venomous look that flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyi suddenly remembered something.

Where is Long Xiaoyun?

Lin Shiyin was sent away beforehand, but Long Xiaoyun was always at Xingyun Manor. If the other party noticed the commotion here, it was impossible for them not to get involved.

Or perhaps this clever little devil has realized that he is no longer effective and is therefore looking for a completely new solution.

He had never underestimated the young boy who had traveled south with him. The fact that Fang Yunhua treated him specially meant that the boy must have some talent that was worth valuing.

Just as he was wondering where Long Xiaoyun had run off to.

At this moment, Zhao Zhengyi's iron palm had already gripped Li Xunhuan's soft bones and tendons. The pain was simply unbearable for an ordinary person. However, despite Li Xunhuan sweating from the pain, he remained calm and spoke with a smile.

Just then, a servant came to report.

The young master of the Ding family and Nangong Yuan of the Nangong family came to visit, accompanied by a master.

The Jade Flute Taoist, originally ranked tenth on the Weapon Ranking!
