Chapter 139: Lin Xian'er's Intentions
Neither Li Xinhuan nor Guo Sungyang asked the name of the little girl in red, but You Longsheng figured it out as soon as he arrived.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Lingling," the little girl in red replied innocently. "Just like a bell. When someone rings it, I go 'ling ling ling'."
A hint of pity flashed across Ding Baiyun's face as she heard this.
"How long have you been with your young mistress? Have you always been here?"
"Five years!" Lin Lingling smiled. "Five years ago, my young mistress bought me, and I've been here ever since!"
"Have you been happy here?"
"Yes, very happy! I have food and drink, and I'm so happy!"
"That's good. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Enjoy the finest food and drink, have fun, and sleep well. Otherwise, what's the point of living?" You Longsheng said with a laugh. "I suppose everyone who comes here is happy too?"
Lin Lingling nodded. "With our young mistress here, how could the guests not be happy?"
"Indeed, I'm a guest of your young mistress as well. Unfortunately, I could only take care of her business at Xingyun Manor and had no money at the time, so I paid my debt with a family heirloom, the Fish Intestine Sword."
You Longsheng sighed. "Your young mistress is kind-hearted. She probably didn't want me to overspend, so she didn't tell me about this place.
Do you know that I've been searching for your young mistress for two years, ever since she left? From the Central Plains to the Western Regions, from the south of the Yangtze River to the northern desert, I've been to Shaolin, Kunlun, the grasslands beyond the Great Wall, and the painted boats of Qinhuai, but I couldn't find any trace of her."
The group fell silent.
Lin Lingling stared at You Longsheng, her eyes wide, unsure if he was telling the truth.
However, as a guest of the young mistress, it was understandable that he would be so infatuated with her, and Lin Lingling even glanced at Ding Baiyun with a hint of pity.
Ding Baiyun's face turned cold. Although she knew You Longsheng was talking nonsense, she had made up her mind that she would not let him share her bed tonight.
At the same time, she felt somewhat relieved about You Longsheng. After all, sometimes, the more someone expressed their affection, the less likely they were to act on it.
You Longsheng chatted and joked with Lin Lingling, and soon learned about the letter that Li Xinhuan had received.
A beautiful woman had delivered a letter to Li Xinhuan, inviting him to meet her.
That was why he had stayed here.
"Oh ho?"
You Longsheng raised an eyebrow and then burst into laughter, looking directly at Li Xinhuan.
Li Xinhuan could only smile bitterly.
"It seems that although Miss Lin is working for her young mistress, she doesn't know much about the situation," You Longsheng remarked.
Li Xinhuan sighed. "She's just a child."
Guo Sungyang folded his arms and smirked coldly.
Ding Baiyun glanced at Lin Lingling. "She may be clever, but there's only so little she knows."
Lin Lingling looked confused, unsure what they were talking about, but she felt as if she had said something wrong. Her smile was starting to falter.
"Li Xinhuan is truly a good man. He never wants to embarrass anyone," You Longsheng said, patting Lin Lingling's shoulder. "You should cherish this kind of man. If you let him go, you might never find another like him."
Lin Lingling's face turned crimson, and Li Xinhuan sighed again. "She's just a child."
You Longsheng raised an eyebrow. "But she knows more poses than you, don't you believe me?"
Li Xinhuan rubbed his forehead, at a loss for words.
"Come on, tell me where Lin Xian'er's trap is," You Longsheng asked.
Lin Lingling turned to look at You Longsheng.
You Longsheng winked at her and whispered, "This Li Xinhuan and your young mistress don't get along, and I'm going to help your young mistress teach him a lesson. Shouldn't you be happy about that?"
...
Everyone looked at Li Xinhuan.
Li Xinhuan had come to find A Fei and discovered Lin Xian'er's secret, and now Lin Xian'er had taken A Fei away.
Then Li Xinhuan received a letter.
Who could have known that Li Xinhuan would appear here? So, of course, this letter was sent by Lin Xian'er.
Would Lin Xian'er seek a rendezvous with Li Xinhuan?
Impossible!
Even if You Longsheng didn't know the plot, he could guess that this was a trap set by Lin Xian'er for Li Xinhuan. Moreover, he was very familiar with the storyline and only wanted to find an opportunity to confirm it formally.
However, Li Xinhuan shook his head and denied it, saying indifferently, "It's not a trap, just a date."
Guo Sungyang's eyes narrowed.
It was common knowledge that Li Xinhuan might conceal some matters, but he never told lies.
So You Longsheng shifted his gaze and simply laid everything out, "Then, was it also Lin Xian'er who sent out the letter about Xingyun Manor having a treasure?"
Li Xinhuan couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
Guo Sungyang and Ding Baiyun were also surprised. This was Li Xinhuan admitting it.
"Of course, it's just a guess."
You Longsheng spread his hands, "Since Lin Xian'er hasn't changed her ways, while she's deceiving A Fei, she's also stirring up the martial arts world.
So, of course, she would be afraid of you because you are A Fei's friend, and as long as you're around, she can't appear openly in the martial arts world.
I guess she endured it for two years, but now she can't hold back anymore, so she made her move.
And with Lin Xian'er's identity as the Plum Blossom Thief, she should have quite a few people under her command, so she could easily accomplish this task since her influence in the shadows hasn't been affected."
Li Xinhuan remained silent.
Not saying anything was as good as admitting it.
Ding Baiyun said in a condensed voice, "But how dare she target Li Xinhuan? Unless... A Fei is willing to turn against Li Xinhuan for her?"
"Absolutely not!" Li Xinhuan flatly denied.
Guo Sungyang coldly smirked again.
"Then I don't know." You Longsheng winked at Li Xinhuan, "But I guess Li Xinhuan finding this place must have been beyond her expectations as well, after all, you said she left in a hurry, so the time for this date won't be too soon."
You Longsheng sighed, "But this is indeed a beautiful woman's date."
Li Xinhuan sighed, "I shouldn't have let you come."
You Longsheng was even smarter than he imagined; apart from not guessing who he was about to face, he had figured out almost everything else.
"No, no, no, I should have let you come, but unfortunately, I still came too late." You Longsheng sighed and shook his head, "Adding the one from two years ago, I've missed several opportunities..."
Li Xinhuan asked, "Missed what?"
You Longsheng said solemnly, "Missed the chance to persuade A Fei."
Li Xinhuan was deeply touched.
However, Ding Baiyun couldn't help but feel like laughing.
She believed that You Longsheng would definitely rescue A Fei because he was a kind and righteous person.
But she also believed that You Longsheng would definitely ridicule A Fei because he was also someone who enjoyed gossip and poking fun at others.
However...
That simple fool A Fei, for two whole years, he really didn't sleep with Lin Xian'er?
"In that case." You Longsheng clapped his hands, "Let's stay here as well, after all, Baiyun also wants to see how beautiful Lin Xian'er is."
Ding Baiyun, "Hmph!"
