Chapter 91

“That’s how it happened. Sister Shiyin can testify to that.” Zhang Weihao recounted the whole story to Li Xunhuan, whom he had just rescued from the woodshed.

Lin Shiyin was also there, sitting next to Zhang Weihao. Compared to her pale face at the beginning, she now had a rosy complexion and was full of energy. She showed no signs of the grief of losing her husband and child. It was as if she had been completely relieved and had come back to life.

However, Li Xunhuan’s face was now very pale and weak, and he coughed with extreme pain and guilt. The white handkerchief covering his mouth was quickly stained red with blood. Apart from his nephew Zhang Weihao, who would show some concern, Lin Shiyin watched coldly as if she were an outsider.

He showed neither anger nor concern, displaying extreme indifference, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.

From this perspective, it seems that Lin Shiyin has truly let go of Li Xunhuan completely and recognized his true nature as a master of deception.

“Why? Why did this happen? Who? Who would want to destroy me like this?” Even a saintly gentleman like Li Xunhuan could no longer hold back at this moment. His eyes were red as he roared angrily, which was an extreme expression of anger for him.

After all, any normal person would be angry if they were so meticulously plotted against and destroyed, their spirit crushed. If Li Xunhuan wasn’t angry or furious, he wouldn’t be human at all; he’d probably be a god or Buddha descended to earth to undergo tribulation, like Erlang Shen.

The only man who can maintain such a refined and scholarly demeanor even with a head of curly hair is this Little Li Tan Hua, the human form of Erlang Shen (played by an actor).

Zhang Weihao now understood why Li Xunhuan was also a third-place scholar. It was mainly because he was too handsome. It would be a pity if someone like him wasn’t chosen as the third-place scholar. So he had to dress up to look ugly and not be too handsome or flashy, otherwise he would most likely also be a third-place scholar.

“I was too late after all. Shiyin doesn’t understand these things. I forgot to ask, and I probably won’t tell you. I can only analyze it through reasoning. After all, whoever can gain the most benefit from this matter is most likely the mastermind behind it.”

First of all, he must be someone very close to you and your aunt, Uncle, and very familiar with your personality. Otherwise, he couldn’t have made such a plan. There are too many coincidences and chances involved. Without a high degree of certainty, it would be difficult for such bizarre preconditions to be met.

It wasn’t a real life-saving favor to begin with. With your martial arts skills, Uncle, whether Long Xiaoyun lives or dies is completely unimportant. Even if a normal person wouldn’t ignore Long Xiaoyun’s life or death, they wouldn’t really consider him their savior.

After all, there was no need for him to save you in that situation. On the contrary, because of him, you, Uncle, were unable to act freely, which doubled the difficulty of your escape and put you in a real threat of death.

Moreover, even if she were to risk her life for him out of gratitude and remember his kindness, she would never give up her fiancée and the woman she loved to him, nor would she willingly resign from her official post and go into seclusion to let Sister Shiyin fall in love with someone else, let alone abandon her ancestral business, give up everything, and choose to go far away from home.

This is truly outrageous. No one with a sound mind could do such a thing. On the contrary, I, Zhang Lingyu, never imagined that such a bizarre person existed in the world… oh no, I mean a saintly gentleman. Now I’m even considering becoming sworn brothers with you, Uncle Shi, and waiting for you to give me your wife and ancestral property.”

Despite Zhang Weihao’s various veiled references to Li Xunhuan, he was outwardly meticulously analyzing and dissecting the case, using his reasoning skills to uncover the mastermind behind it all.

However, Li Xunhuan’s face grew paler and paler, and his cough became more and more severe, making Zhang Weihao hesitant to continue the Yin-Yang innuendo, fearing that it might cause him to vomit blood and die.

The main problem is that this guy is really brain-dead and bizarre. Even a normal person who hasn’t been to school wouldn’t make such a bizarre decision.

Looking at her cousin, the man she once deeply loved, Lin Shiyin felt not pity or sorrow, but rather immense satisfaction. She suddenly felt that he deserved it and had only himself to blame.

“Who is it?” Li Xunhuan asked with his last breath.

It was his own doing, so there shouldn’t be any problem with him being a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. His lightness skill was also exceptional; otherwise, he wouldn’t even have had a chance to throw his flying knives most of the time.

Although he hadn’t used swordsmanship much, Li Xunhuan was skilled in it, and his swordsmanship was quite good.

As for Little Li’s Flying Dagger, it was definitely a unique skill he developed himself, but like the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger, it has a basic martial art in it, which is naturally the Universe Finger.
