Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

The fire in the tavern's fire pit burned brightly, filling the place with warmth.

Bai Kaixin's face flickered between light and shadow.

As if he had thought of something, he changed his sitting posture.

The man kicked one shoe off, then lifted his bare foot and placed it on the stool he was sitting on.

Then, oblivious to everyone else, he started picking at his toes, switching from one hand to the other after he finished picking at one.

After picking at it, he put it to his nose to sniff.

When he picked up the bowl to drink, he stuck the fingers that had twisted his toes into the full bowl of wine.

He acted as if he hadn't seen it and downed the wine in a few gulps.

After finishing his drink, he glanced sideways at Ah Fei and said:

"What are you talking about? I didn't understand anything."

"I just got three taels of silver, and you think you can just take advantage of me?"

He put on an extremely sleazy and shameless look, which made Ah Fei laugh.

Bai Kaixin, realizing he couldn't escape, resorted to shameless tactics.

Ah Fei chuckled and said:

"Bai Kaixin, what are you up to by impersonating Li Tanhua and sending this elegiac couplet?"

Bai Kaixin's expression suddenly changed, and a piercing light shot out from his eyes.

His insight was even deeper than Zhuge Gang's, and sharper than Bai Yumo's.

He never expected that the young man in front of him would recognize his identity so easily.

But only for a moment, he closed his eyes again.

Bai Kaixin squinted, his mouth twisted in a crooked smile, and said:

"Who is Bai Kaixin? Does she look a lot like me?"

"Someone gave me three taels of silver, and I sent the elegy there. I don't know anything else."

He's prepared to play dumb to the very end.

Anyway, no one has any evidence to prove that he is lying. It is possible that someone impersonated Li Xunhuan and tricked him into delivering the funeral scroll.

He's just a gofer, so who can do anything to him?

Ah Fei stared at Bai Kaixin with eyes that seemed to see right through him, inside and out.

It's fair to say that nothing Bai Kaixin says is trustworthy.

It's because he's always thinking about how to harm people.

So I don't intend to waste any more words on him.

Bai Kaixin's antics in front of Xingyun Manor's gate caused Long Xiaoyun great embarrassment.

Afterwards, when I followed Li Xunhuan into the manor, I was bound to be harassed by Long Xiaoyun.

That would likely disrupt his plan to get close to Lin Shiyin and obtain the "Lianhua Baojian".

Therefore, he brought Bai Kaixin back and made him confess his evil deeds.

Of course, given Bai Kaixin's personality, he would never take the initiative to speak up.

This is why it's necessary to stop Tie Chuanjia.

Because of Tie Chuanjia's simple-minded nature and Bai Kaixin's cunning, even if they caught up, Bai Kaixin would still manage to escape through trickery.

In the system "Ancient Martial Arts Records", there is a method of escaping that is recorded in the martial art "Bai's Three Playful Hands".

It's a skill similar to the Turtle Breathing Technique, which can make a person appear as if they are dead.

Even breathing and pulse disappeared, and the skin quickly cooled down.

Not only did I know Bai Kaixin's character well, but I also learned about his methods and tactics through the system.

Therefore, I am more confident that I can catch him.

Moreover, he could also have Bai Kaixin prove Li Xunhuan's innocence.

This is because, in the original story, this person was extremely afraid of losing his life.

This is his Achilles' heel.

Therefore, by threatening Bai Kaixin's life, he is not afraid that he will not confess.

Use his words to vindicate Li Xunhuan.

In that way, by following Li Xunhuan into the manor, he would have the opportunity to obtain the "Lianhua Precious Mirror".

Thinking of this, he increased the force in his hand and pushed the tip of the sword forward.

Bai Kaixin winced in pain, and her eyelids twitched twice.

But he still acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Regardless of whether he was afraid or not, Afei leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice:

"Whether you admit it or not, you have to come with me today."

As he spoke, he pointed out with his finger as swiftly as the wind.

Bai Kaixin, who had already been subdued, was unable to resist and could only let Afei carry him back to Xingyun Manor.

People still come and go at the main gate of Xingyun Manor.

Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia waited expectantly.

They weren't waiting for Lin Mazi to return from reporting, but for Afei.

A look of worry appeared in Li Xunhuan's eyes.

Although they had spent a few days together, he knew that Afei was mature beyond his years and a very opinionated child.

But he is still too young.

Moreover, having stayed outside the Great Wall for so long, they had very little contact with people.

This experience led Ah Fei to tend to oversimplify people when interacting with them.

That could lead to falling into a pre-set trap.

Although with Ah Fei's intelligence, after a period of experience in the martial arts world, he will inevitably become worldly-wise and more experienced.

But that will take time.

So after A-Fei chased after him, Li Xunhuan waited.

Meanwhile, Tie Chuanjia stood to the side like a stone statue, neither speaking nor making any movement.

After a long while, Li Xunhuan still couldn't put his mind at ease.

Turning to look at Tie Chuanjia, he said:

"Wait here. If anyone from the village comes out, tell them I'll be right back."

Tie Chuanjia suddenly said:

"Is Young Master worried about that...that Young Master Fei?"

He looked at Li Xunhuan with deep worry in his eyes.

He sighed inwardly.

The young master is always worried about others, but isn't he himself the most worrisome one?

Now that he's been framed, he's likely to clash with the people from Xingyun Manor.

But the young master seemed completely unconcerned about his situation.

He was just wondering if Ah Fei would fall into someone else's trap.

But no one could persuade him.

Tie Chuanjia had no choice but to nod and say:

"Okay, I'll wait here until Young Master and Young Master Fei return."

Just then, the crowd suddenly seemed to be drawn by something, and they all turned to look in the same direction.

Once they saw it clearly, they quickly stepped aside to make way.

Ah Fei walked over as the crowd made way for him.

On his shoulder was Bai Kaixin, who was immobilized after having her pressure points sealed.

Seeing Ah Fei return safely, Li Xunhuan was overjoyed.

He greeted him with a smile, and said to A-Fei with satisfaction:

"It's good that you're back."

Afei threw Bai Kaixin to the ground like unloading a sack of potatoes.

The "bang" sound kicked up clouds of dust.

Bai Kaixin groaned, his face turning pale and then flushed.

Then A-Fei looked at Li Xunhuan and smiled slightly:

"I told you, don't worry, so I'm fine."

Only by going there in person can you bring Bai Kaixin back.

Judging from Li Xunhuan's expression, he was clearly waiting for him because he was worried.

He pursued Bai Kaixin because of his own reasons.

I wanted to obtain the "Lianhua Precious Mirror" as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications, so I took the initiative to do it.

Seeing Li Xunhuan's worried expression, her impression of him changed slightly.

As a friend, Li Xunhuan is still worth befriending.

"But."

Li Xunhuan deliberately put on a stern face.

"It's better for adults to do these things. Don't do it again next time. Just leave it to me."

He was terrified that trouble would get entangled with Ah Fei.

Children this young should not be tainted by this chaotic world.

He already has enough troubles, so one or two more won't make a difference.

Li Xunhuan was deeply conflicted.

They hope that Afei can grow up quickly and carve out his own niche in the chaotic world of martial arts.

They also didn't want Ah Fei to be exposed to the darker side of human nature too early.

Just like a worried parent, watching their child get fat, they want the child to lose weight, but they don't want the child to go hungry.

His tone became a little harsher.

But Ah Fei just smiled and said:

"Sometimes adults are too hesitant and overthinking when doing things, which makes them less efficient than young people."

Besides, when it comes to actual age, it's not necessarily a matter of who's lecturing whom.

He didn't say the last sentence aloud.

He was well aware of the meaning behind Li Xunhuan's words.

He didn't want trouble to drag down this young man.

But trouble doesn't always happen as we wish.

At the entrance of Xingyun Manor, several people escorted a handsome, well-dressed, middle-aged man with a light beard as he stepped out.

The man's face was full of excitement and agitation. After appearing, he quickly looked around.

Upon seeing Li Xunhuan, he immediately rushed over.

He said in a trembling voice:

"It really is my brother...it really is my brother who's back!"
