Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei
Chapter 17 Suppression Methods
Those who witnessed the events at the entrance all wore expressions of surprise.
Like most people, Long Xiaoyun thought that Bai Kaixin would identify Li Xunhuan.
They were wondering how this "Master Long" would handle the situation.
No one expected that this peasant would turn his anger towards an unknown boy.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Although the boy was handsome and tall, his clothes were really shabby.
Even if you threw his clothes into a pile of beggars, no one would pick them up.
Simply because the clothes were too thin and didn't keep out the cold.
Even that sword—no one would admit it was a sword.
Afei frowned.
Although I knew Bai Kaixin wouldn't behave himself, I never expected him to actually pour dirty water on my head.
This scoundrel is really good at reading people's expressions.
If he continues to harm Li Xunhuan, and with many martial arts figures present, Long Xiaoyun certainly won't break ties with Li Xunhuan.
Instead, they will directly confront Bai Kaixin.
He was just a newcomer to the world of martial arts.
Although he followed behind Li Xunhuan, he had neither fame nor prestige.
No one will help clarify things for me.
Judging from the expressions of the people around, several of them who were present when the incident occurred had expressions of watching a show.
By taking the blame for this, the trouble can be averted.
Long Xiaoyun wouldn't target a young person like himself with heavy-handed methods.
There's a high probability they'll just teach them a lesson and drive them away.
It's simply because nobody cares about the reputation of insignificant people.
On the contrary, Bai Kaixin's actions would be seen as a child's prank.
Everyone will save face, and no one will remember it.
This is the best outcome, and the banquet can still proceed smoothly.
He gritted his teeth.
But we absolutely cannot let things develop like this.
Because if he did that, he wouldn't be able to enter Xingyun Manor and thus wouldn't be able to get in touch with Lin Shiyin.
Thus, the "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers" could not be obtained.
Moreover, this incident severely damaged his reputation.
This is very detrimental to my future plans to make money.
If your reputation is terrible, people will leave as soon as they hear your name. Who would want to do business with you?
In that case, it would be difficult to earn enough money quickly.
The seven or eight martial arts skills I have already learned cannot be upgraded or unlocked.
Not to mention the countless martial arts skills they will learn in the future.
Such losses are absolutely intolerable.
The most frustrating thing right now is that I can't simply kill Bai Kaixin and be done with it.
Because, on the surface, it was he who had captured him.
Therefore, he is the weaker party, and what he says is more credible.
However, if one tries to prove oneself, one is likely to fall into the self-proving trap.
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but praise Bai Kaixin.
Because this person said that, it's as if he's removing Li Xunhuan from the picture.
He wouldn't need to directly confront Bai Kaixin.
Although he could cover it up by doing so, he couldn't help but hear gossip.
It may not have a significant impact on his reputation, but it will still leave a flaw in the end.
Now, all he needs to do is convince the young man in front of him that he is the culprit.
If we treat it as a child's ignorant act, punish him casually and send him away, he can still earn a reputation for being lenient.
Whether the boy did it or not is not important.
Even if he was a follower whom Li Xunhuan had somehow acquired, under the weight of public opinion, Li Xunhuan would find it difficult to protect him.
Even if Li Xunhuan tries to protect her, he will be seen as being misled.
That would definitely be detrimental to Li Xunhuan's public image.
This is even better for him.
Long Xiaoyun suddenly sighed.
He seemed to feel regretful, or perhaps disappointed that his son was not living up to his potential.
He said to Ah Fei:
"Young man, I do not know where you heard this rumor, but you must have misunderstood."
"I am as close as brothers with Xunhuan, so how could I harbor any resentment because of your elegy?"
His first step was to confirm that Afei was an ignorant teenager who believed the rumors.
And it was confirmed that Ah Fei was the mastermind behind the funeral procession.
Then he emphasizes his brotherhood with Li Xunhuan, making people believe that he is a person who values loyalty.
After a pause, Long Xiaoyun continued:
"Furthermore, even if you are dissatisfied with me, you shouldn't resort to such vicious methods."
"When roaming the world, one should always be upright and never entertain the thoughts of evil and heretical people."
His sermon not only clarified his position as a victim but also transformed him into someone on the side of justice.
It also portrays Ah Fei as a treacherous and despicable villain.
That way, when he lets Ah Fei go later, he will appear even more magnanimous.
Then, he said in a regretful tone.
"Although this has already been done, fortunately no one was injured as a result."
"As for the matter of damaging my reputation, considering it's your first offense, I will not pursue it further."
His words were so generous that they inspired admiration in all who heard them.
People kept nodding in agreement, and some even cast admiring glances.
"From now on, Xingyun Manor will no longer welcome you. You may leave!"
In order to prevent Ah Fei from having a chance to argue, he immediately set the tone for the matter.
In the end, he gave him a haphazard punishment, and that was the end of it.
Driving him away was hardly a punishment; it only highlighted Long Xiaoyun's magnanimity.
Ah Fei can no longer turn things around.
While Long Xiaoyun was lecturing A Fei, Li Xunhuan had already frowned.
This "elder brother" didn't even consider what the peasant said before rashly pointing the finger at Ah Fei.
In his view, it was somewhat too arbitrary.
Over the past few days, he has come to understand the boy more and more.
Although he has some secrets, Ah Fei is by no means the kind of person who would secretly sabotage someone's career.
He never doubted his judgment.
This has been proven time and again by facts.
Moreover, he didn't want Ah Fei to get involved in trouble too early.
Li Xunhuan originally intended to take all the trouble upon himself.
Completely unexpectedly, the peasant suddenly changed his tune, and Long Xiaoyun believed him.
They also quickly defined Ah Fei's character.
The Long Xiaoyun he remembered was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
Over the years, what exactly has caused this "elder brother" to change so much?
He had to protect the boy.
We must not let him be ruined before he has even grown up.
"Big brother, you..."
Just as Li Xunhuan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Long Xiaoyun waving his hand.
Long Xiaoyun felt displeased, but he did not show it on his face.
He already had a thorn in his side.
Therefore, any action by Li Xunhuan that does not suit his wishes will subconsciously make him dislike Li Xunhuan even more.
But deep down, he had to lie to himself and emphasize that he was doing it for his brother's good.
Long Xiaoyun, with an air of righteous indignation, said to Li Xunhuan:
"Brother, I know this young man came with you."
"But at this moment, his trick has been exposed, and you must not be soft-hearted."
"You used to be too soft-hearted. If you follow your instincts now, you'll inevitably be deceived by villains."
Long Xiaoyun performed almost perfectly, acting like a caring older brother.
Upon hearing this, Afei couldn't help but inwardly complain.
If Li Xunhuan weren't soft-hearted, who would give you everything you, Long Xiaoyun, have now?
If Long Xiaoyun continues speaking, he will turn this matter into an ironclad case.
It's time for me to take the initiative.
Afei showed no sign of panic, waiting for Long Xiaoyun to finish speaking.
Then a mocking smile appeared on his face.
The laughter wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
