Chapter 141: Reduces Li Xinhuan to Tears
Chapter 141: Reduces Li Xinhuan to Tears
"So this friendship means facing death?" You Longsheng asked, "Can't we think of another way?"
Ding Baiyun sighed, "This is the pride of a martial artist. They would rather die than bend, or they wouldn't have cultivated such profound martial arts."
You Longsheng pouted, "I suspect you're taking a dig at me."
"There's no need to suspect, I am indeed taking a dig at you." A smile played at the corners of Ding Baiyun's mouth as she said, "But I would rather you not cultivate such profound martial arts."
Li Xinhuan, on the other hand, was getting anxious. He thought to himself, "Stop displaying your affection and unblock my acupoints first!" Li Xinhuan glanced at You Longsheng, gesturing frantically.
You Longsheng moved his body again and finally regained full mobility. He then turned to Li Xinhuan and asked, "What do you mean? Do you want me to unblock your acupoints?"
Li Xinhuan's eyes were pleading, as if they could speak.
You Longsheng stroked his chin and teased, "Who told you to hide things from us and Mr. Guo? Now you're facing the consequences."
Li Xinhuan's head was starting to sweat. For the first time, he realized how long-winded You Longsheng could be.
"Stop joking," You Longsheng shook his head. "These acupoints were blocked by Guo Songyang. How could I possibly unblock them? I'm just a minor first-rate expert; I can't undo what you've done."
How perfunctory of him to say it's impossible without even trying!
Li Xinhuan was getting more and more anxious, and then he saw You Longsheng stand up and take the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand. "But I can't just stand by and watch Guo Songyang walk to his death."
Li Xinhuan's eyes widened, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up within him.
Lin Lingling couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"
Ding Baiyun glanced at Li Xinhuan and then stood beside You Longsheng. In a nonchalant tone, she said, "Of course, we're going to face Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming alongside Guo Songyang."
Lin Lingling was stunned, and the look in Li Xinhuan's eyes as he turned to them was filled with endless worry.
You Longsheng's talent was indeed extraordinary, and his progress over the past two years had been remarkable. In the entire martial arts world, there were very few who could defeat him. However, this had to be considered in the context of his opponents.
Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming were people whom You Longsheng could never surpass, no matter what!
If he went to fight alongside Guo Songyang, he would be walking to his death!
As for Ding Baiyun, although she was considered a first-rate expert in the martial arts world, in this kind of battle, her involvement would make little difference.
Li Xinhuan was so anxious that he was about to cry. He kept signaling to Ding Baiyun, urging him to persuade You Longsheng.
You Longsheng patted Li Xinhuan's shoulder and said, "I'm your friend, and I'm also Guo Songyang's friend. Of course, I can't just stand by and watch you both die. Rest assured, maybe we'll be fine."
Li Xinhuan looked at You Longsheng, his eyes filled with worry, anxiety, and sadness...
"Of course, if we die," You Longsheng said with a carefree laugh, "remember to bring my body back to the Sword-Hiding Villa for burial, and inform my two sisters. Dying in a duel with Jing Wuming wouldn't be such a bad way to go, would it?"
Li Xinhuan felt a sour feeling in his nose, and finally, two streams of hot tears flowed from his eyes.
Li Xinhuan cried.
You Longsheng was stunned. In the original novel, although Li Xinhuan was a sensitive person and had teared up several times, he had never actually cried like this.
"Did I just reduce him to tears?" You Longsheng wondered. "If he finds out the truth, will he kill me to silence me?"
There was also a hint of surprise in Ding Baiyun's eyes as she looked at You Longsheng, asking him if they should continue the act. You Longsheng touched his nose awkwardly, not daring to continue.
So he sighed and shouted towards the door, "Brother Bai, come in.
Staring blankly at Bai Tianyu, then at You Longsheng, Li Xinhuan's expression was one of utter bewilderment, his eyes reflecting his disbelief. He couldn't fathom how Bai Tianyu had suddenly appeared here.
You Longsheng chuckled, "After the battle at Xingyun Manor, I also encountered Shangguan Jinhong and knew that he would eventually face you. Since you alone wouldn't be a match for the two of them, I asked Brother Xi to send a letter to Bai Ge on my behalf, inviting him to come and help."
You Longsheng winked at Li Xinhuan, "Do I get friend points for this?"
Li Xinhuan let out a bitter laugh. At this moment, he really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Unfortunately, the tear stains on his face remained, and he couldn't even wipe them away.
Bai Tianyu strode over to Li Xinhuan, laughing heartily as he unblocked Li Xinhuan's acupoints, "I heard that you were ambushed and had your acupoints sealed before being sent to Shaolin. And now, when we meet again, your acupoints are sealed once more?"
Li Xinhuan closed his eyes, feeling too ashamed to speak.
In the next moment, with his acupoints unblocked, Li Xinhuan leaped to his feet. The first thing he did was wipe away the tears, then he turned to You Longsheng and gave him a mock punch.
You Longsheng said to Ding Baiyun, "You're close to Lin Shiyin. If he dares to bully me, tell her about how he cried his eyes out even at his age."
Ding Baiyun struggled to hold back her laughter and nodded slightly.
Li Xinhuan lowered his hand and sighed, "I won't bully you. I'll be grateful if you don't bully me."
At this point, Li Xinhuan hastily added, "Let's go quickly. Guo Xiong facing Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming alone is no match for them!"
Bai Tianyu nodded, his eyes shining with anticipation, "Shangguan Jinhong, I've heard of your fame for a long time. Today, I look forward to our battle!"
You Longsheng smiled, "Mr. Guo must have already prepared himself for the worst. I wonder what his expression will be when he sees us suddenly appear?"
Thinking of himself, Li Xinhuan knew that You Longsheng was about to start teasing Guo Songyang again, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for the man. But then he remembered how Guo Songyang had acupoint-struck You Longsheng, and decided that he deserved the ribbing.
Just as they were about to fly out of the room, Lin Lingling grabbed Li Xinhuan's arm, tears welling up in her eyes, "I want to come too. Don't leave me behind!"
It must be said that Li Xinhuan had a way with women. His literary and artistic demeanor had captivated Lin Lingling in just a few days.
In the original novel, Lin Lingling's feelings for Li Xinhuan were indeed genuine. She tried her best to protect him from Lan Xiezi and Zixiaodao, and even helped him escape the encirclement of the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattvas. Her contributions to Li Xinhuan were significant.
However, she was also self-aware and, being a child, lacked the constancy of adult love. Her affections came and went swiftly.
Knowing that Li Xinhuan's heart belonged to someone else, she didn't pursue him aggressively. Moreover, after Li Xinhuan's departure, she quickly gave herself to Lu Fengxian. During their journey to kill Lin Xian'er, Lu Fengxian's attention turned to Lin Xian'er, and he struck Lin Lingling down, leaving her to die in Li Xinhuan's arms.
Seeing the tears in Lin Lingling's eyes, Li Xinhuan's heart softened, and he reached out to pull her along with them.
The group rushed out of the room and headed straight for the mountain spring.
