Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

The former "Li Garden" has become "Xingyun Manor", but the couplet personally inscribed by the emperor at the gate has never changed.

"Seven members of one family passed the imperial examination."

A father and his three sons, all three of whom were top scholars.

Upon seeing the couplet, Li Xunhuan stood in front of the door for a long time, unable to move, as if a large stone was pressing heavily on his chest.

Ba Ying carried Long Xiaoyun's body slowly inside. Long Xiaoyun's entire body was wrapped in burlap, making it impossible to see what was inside.

After Long Xiaoyun's death, since there was no prior grudge between Mr. Mei and Qin Xiaoyi, Mr. Mei also came here with Qin Xiaoyi to treat Qin Xiaoyi's son.

Li Xunhuan still stood there, lost in thought, in front of the door.

The servants at the door looked at Li Xunhuan with surprised eyes and whispered among themselves, as if they were curious about why a stranger was standing at the door in a daze.

Jiang Fengyue sighed inwardly. This was the home where Li Xunhuan had grown up, but now he was being treated like a stranger.

Why do perfectly healthy people always have to torment themselves so much?

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Li Tanhua, let's go inside."

Li Xunhuan looked pained and said with a bitter smile, "Now that we're here, we'll have to go in sooner or later."

After speaking, Jiang Fengyue, Li Xunhuan, and Tie Chuanjia stepped onto the stone steps at the same time.

At this moment, a loud shout came from among the servants, saying, "What kind of cats and dogs dare to barge into Master Long's residence?"

A man with pockmarks, wearing a brocade sheepskin coat with his chest exposed, rushed out carrying a birdcage and blocked Jiang Fengyue and his group's path.

"Check-in!"

"Sign-in successful, received 100 taels of silver."

Jiang Fengyue knew that this was Lin Xian'er's father, and that he dared to be so arrogant because he had a daughter like Lin Xian'er.

Li Xunhuan frowned and asked, "Who are you...?"

The pockmarked man shouted, "I am the steward here, and my daughter is Madam Long's god-sister. What do you want?"

Li Xunhuan said, "If that's the case, I'll wait here."

Ma Zi sneered, "Waiting isn't an option either. Is the Long Mansion a place where you idle bastards can just stand around?"

Although Tie Chuanjia was furious, he had no choice but to endure it.

Jiang Fengyue knew that Long Xiaoyun would come out soon, so she didn't make any move.

Who knew that the pockmarked man, seeing that Jiang Fengyue was young and thought he was easy to bully, walked up to him, pointed his finger at his nose, and angrily shouted, "I told you to get out of here, do you want to die?"

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Not only does it block other people's way, but it also likes to bark randomly by taking advantage of its owner's power."

After saying that, he raised his right leg and kicked down hard, sending the pockmarked man flying several meters away.

Ma Zi spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to rush over to fight back.

But someone inside the door called out, "Xunhuan, Xunhuan, is that really you?"

A handsome, middle-aged man in fine clothes rushed out at the sound of the voice, his face full of excitement, and said, "Yes, it really is you."

Before he could finish speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Xunhuan was also moved to tears, choking out, "Brother..."

Upon seeing this scene, Ma Zi dared not approach any further.

Long Xiaoyun glared at Ma Zi and said, "It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. Even the servants in the manor dare to disrespect you."

Li Xunhuan said, "It's alright, he has already learned his lesson, you don't need to punish him anymore."

Long Xiaoyun murmured, "Brother, I've missed you so much, I've missed you so much..."

He kept repeating that sentence.

Jiang Fengyue couldn't help but think to himself that Long Xiaoyun was clearly saying, "Brother, I really wish you were dead." He must be terrified that Li Xunhuan would come back, take away his wife, and then reclaim the house.

It's only because Long Xiaoyun himself is this kind of person that he imagines others are the same as him.

"Check-in!"

"Sign-in successful for Long Xiaoyun, information on Bu Ba's whereabouts has been obtained."

Jiang Fengyue frowned slightly. This Bu Ba was the one who almost killed Li Xunhuan back then, and was later killed by Long Xiaoyun with a single spear thrust. If this person is alive now, could there be another conspiracy behind what happened back then?

Long Xiaoyun laughed loudly, "We brothers should be happy to see each other again, why are you crying like an old woman?"

Seeing Long Xiaoyun laughing so happily, Li Xunhuan's expression turned painful. He had thought of the deceased Long Xiaoyun, and he knew that Long Xiaoyun would soon be unable to laugh again.

Long Xiaoyun smiled and ushered Li Xunhuan into the hall. But as soon as they entered, he saw that everyone in the hall had mournful faces, and he immediately frowned.

Long Xiaoyun's body was surrounded by more than a dozen people and placed in the center of the hall. His body and face were covered with a white cloth, which is why Long Xiaoyun did not recognize his son at first.

Long Xiaoyun assumed that Qin Xiaoyi's son had died, but Qin Xiaoyi's son was seriously injured and was still staying at his residence for treatment.

He shouted angrily, "What are you doing here with a corpse? Don't you know my brother Li Xunhuan is here?"

No one responded to him, so he shouted again, "Quickly, someone carry this corpse out, lest my brother be tainted with bad luck."

Still no one moved. Long Xiaoyun's expression changed, as if he was about to lose his temper.

Suddenly, Ba Ying knelt down in front of him and cried out, "Fourth Master Long, please take a look at who is lying on the ground."

Long Xiaoyun frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

He slowly walked over, lifted the white cloth, and saw that it was Long Xiaoyun. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

A moment later he rushed over again, shouting, "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, wake up, don't scare your father."

Unfortunately, Long Xiaoyun could no longer hear Long Xiaoyun's calls. His body had turned deathly pale, and no matter how much Long Xiaoyun shouted, he could only lie there quietly.

Li Xunhuan stood at the entrance of the hall, motionless, listening to Long Xiaoyun's cries. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he couldn't move his legs.

After a long while, Long Xiaoyun seemed to have cried all his tears. He came to Ba Ying and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Ba Ying did not answer, but simply looked up at Jiang Fengyue.

Jiang Fengyue was standing next to Li Xunhuan at this moment. Long Xiaoyun mistakenly thought that Li Xunhuan was the one who did it, so he forced a smile and walked over.

Long Xiaoyun forced a smile and said, "Long Xiaoyun's son is Li Xunhuan's son. He disrespected you, so it's only right that you kill him."

Li Xunhuan looked somber, neither admitting nor denying it. If Jiang Fengyue hadn't come along, he feared he would have had to take all the blame.

Li Xunhuan is innocent, Jiang Fengyue is innocent, the guilty one is Long Xiaoyun, who is now a cold corpse.

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "I killed the person. As the father, you should know very well what kind of person your son is."

Li Xunhuan's face contorted with pain. Jiang Fengyue and Long Xiaoyun were both his benefactors, and he absolutely could not stand up and say a word at this time.

Long Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Fengyue, his face filled with rage, wishing he could kill Jiang Fengyue on the spot to avenge his son.

He held back, because Li Xunhuan was still there. Compared to everything that could be taken away from him at any moment, his son's death seemed insignificant.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "What you say is absolutely right, young master. This beast has been spoiled terribly by his mother. I shouldn't have taught him martial arts in the first place."

A clear voice suddenly came from inside the room, saying, "Quickly lift the curtain, the madam is coming out."

Before the curtain was fully lifted, Lin Shiyin rushed out.

Li Xunhuan finally met Lin Shiyin again.

Lin Shiyin didn't even glance at Li Xunhuan. As soon as she came out, she knelt down beside Long Xiaoyun's corpse and almost fainted on the ground.

It wasn't until she saw the wound on Long Xiaoyun's throat that she turned her head and glared at Li Xunhuan.

Lin Shiyin cried out, her voice trembling with sobs, "I knew all along you would never let me live happily, but why, why do you have to take away even the last bit of happiness I have left?"
