Chapter 150: Befriending You Longsheng, What a Fortunate Three Lifetimes
"Huh? You want to rescue me?" You Longsheng blinked, "But Big Brother personally acupunctured my pressure points. How can I undo them?"
Li Xinhuan instantly understood, "You want to see me make a fool of myself again?"
"No, how could that be possible!" You Longsheng waved his hands repeatedly, quickly shifting the blame, "I just don't want to put Master Hu in a difficult position! You're also a man of your word, so you should understand him, right?"
Li Xinhuan took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef, "I understand, I really do understand!"
"Don't be angry!" You Longsheng said with a laugh, "Aren't you curious about who Lord Dragon Four is planning to sell you to?"
Li Xinhuan sighed, "I'm not curious at all, and I don't want to know."
"What about Long Xiaoyun?" You Longsheng hinted, "He's been spoiled, don't you want to tell him that plotting and scheming is useless? In life, one should be upright and honest to gain allies and turn dangers into safety?"
Li Xinhuan paused, then bitterly smiled, "To gain allies, am I considered to have gained allies?"
"Hu Bugui, whom Long Xiaoyun found with great difficulty, actually secretly brought you food. Isn't this considered having gained allies?" You Longsheng pointed to himself, "You should know that Old Guo and White Brother have already left, and I can't beat him."
Li Xinhuan thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. However, looking at his own acupunctured state and dirty appearance, he felt that there was something wrong with You Longsheng's words.
"Don't overthink it, let's eat first." You Longsheng poured Li Xinhuan another cup of wine, "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. I remember you saying that you quite enjoy the feeling of being acupunctured. So, enjoy it for a few more days."
Li Xinhuan, "..."
Downing the cup of wine, Li Xinhuan savored the taste, "Not bad, it's indeed a well-aged Bamboo Leaf Green. Bring me a jar of Lanling Spring tomorrow."
You Longsheng nodded, "No problem, Lanling Spring goes well with roast chicken. It's indeed a delicacy. I'll also bring you a dish of sweet and sour carp and a plate of Four Happiness Meatballs. Your mental pressure is too high, so it's good to rest these few days."
Li Xinhuan was left speechless, "I truly thank you!"
"You're welcome, we're friends after all!" You Longsheng nodded as if it was only natural.
Li Xinhuan paused, then continued, "There's something I didn't think about yesterday."
"What is it?" asked You Longsheng.
"If Lu Fengxian goes to find Lin Xian'er, will he meet A Fei?" Li Xinhuan asked.
"I don't know, what about it?" You Longsheng asked.
Li Xinhuan anxiously said, "A Fei deeply loves Lin Xian'er now, but his sword has slowed down. If..."
"He can't pose any threat to Lu Fengxian at all, right?" You Longsheng asked.
"Exactly."
"Then isn't that good?"
"Huh?"
"A Fei is your friend, and Lu Fengxian of course knows that. Since A Fei won't be a threat to him, Lu Fengxian won't bother killing him. This way, won't A Fei be able to see Lin Xian'er's true colors?"
Given Lin Xian'er's character, she would unhesitatingly throw herself into Lu Fengxian's embrace.
Li Xinhuan blinked and thought about it, then looked at You Longsheng in surprise, "So that's why you've been hinting to Lu Fengxian to go find Lin Xian'er?"
You Longsheng spread his hands, not answering the question directly but asking another instead, "Sometimes, don't the words of an enemy have more impact than those of a friend?"
Li Xinhuan looked at You Longsheng, and amidst the surprise in his eyes, there was a glint of admiration. He never expected that You Longsheng, who seemed so unreliable, would actually be so meticulous and forward-thinking, considering his friends so thoroughly.
Rescuing him, rescuing A Fei, and rescuing Guo Songyang.
Perhaps he should ask for another pot of wine to drink at night?
...
In the following days, during the daytime, You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun would take Lin Lingling to tour the areas around Daiming Prefecture. In the afternoons, they would bring food to Li Xinhuan, and in the evenings, You Longsheng would spend quality time with his beloved.
This peaceful routine continued for over ten days without incident.
Then, midway through October, Hu Bugui came to remind You Longsheng, "Long Xiaoyun received a letter. There will probably be some excitement tomorrow.
Also, Long Xiaoyun sold Li Xinhuan for a good price. The Gold Money Gang has sent out invitations, and Lord Dragon Four and Lord Jin will become sworn brothers on the first day of next month."
Upon hearing this, Ding Baiyun let out a cold laugh, "He thinks that by becoming sworn brothers with Li Xinhuan, he can manipulate him at will, and that by becoming sworn brothers with Lord Jin, he can do the same?
"He may not be that greedy, but the power of the Gold Money Gang is indeed very tempting," You Longsheng replied with a smile. "If he can get a share of it, it would surpass the influence he had when he was in charge of Xingyun Manor."
"Power blinds people," Ding Baiyun scoffed. "He should take a good look at himself. What qualifications does he have to share Lord Jin's power? Does he want to hasten his own death?"
Hu Bugui chuckled, "Many people go crazy when faced with power."
He glanced at You Longsheng, "The person who comes to fetch Li Xinhuan tomorrow will definitely be an expert from the Gold Money Gang, maybe even Lord Jin himself. Are you sure you still want to watch the show?"
You Longsheng stroked his chin, "What do you mean, Master?"
Hu Bugui rolled his eyes and turned to leave, "I don't care what Li Xinhuan does! And you'd better stay away tomorrow, too. Lord Jin is unpredictable, and he might kill you along with Li Xinhuan."
"That won't happen," You Longsheng shook his head.
Hu Bugui turned back, surprised, "Why?"
"Because I promised to forge an indestructible Dragon and Phoenix Ring for him," You Longsheng smiled.
Hu Bugui was speechless.
...
The next day, after leaving Lin Lingling at the inn, You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun arrived at a small building in the courtyard next to Long Xiaoyun's small courtyard.
They saw that Long Xiaoyun had already arrived and was waiting in the main hall.
Soon after, a ox-drawn cart turned into the long street and entered the courtyard through a side gate, stopping in front of the main hall. After the rice bags were moved aside, Jing Wuming and Long Xiaoyun's son emerged from the cart.
At the same time, You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun also noticed a figure in blue who had climbed over the high wall from a secluded spot and lightly landed in the courtyard as if he had turned invisible. He stood inconspicuously in the corner.
Ding Baiyun's eyes narrowed, "What incredible light work! Who is he?"
"He's A Fei!" You Longsheng said.
Ding Baiyun was intrigued, "How did he end up here?"
"I don't know," You Longsheng shook his head. "I only know that things are about to get interesting."
"Can A Fei defeat Jing Wuming?" Ding Baiyun asked, having witnessed Jing Wuming's sword skills herself and knowing that they were only slightly inferior to Guo Songyang's. "Are you going to intervene?"
"Don't worry, don't forget that Li Xinhuan is also here," You Longsheng said. "Let's just sit back and watch the show."
Ding Baiyun was speechless but nodded in agreement. "You praised A Fei so much before, so I'm curious to see his sword skills today."
You Longsheng stroked his chin, "In that case, I think you might be disappointed. He's not in his best condition right now."
