Su Tingyun didn't leave his name and left after obtaining the information he wanted.

He was afraid that a long night would bring many dreams, so he immediately set off after asking for the directions. Even so, it would take him three days to reach Baoding.

He didn't delay at all on the road. It was all because he didn't know the way and walked in vain. Fortunately, he didn't get lost after stumbling around.

When he entered Baoding, before he could ask anyone, he heard passersby talking about Li Xunhuan's return.

Everyone on the street knew about this. No, after listening carefully, most people didn't seem to be talking about Li Xunhuan himself, but the woman who came back with him, Gu Xiuci.

Su Tingyun immediately grabbed a passerby and put on a face that was new to the world. He took the opportunity to ask about the matter in detail.

It turned out that Li Xunhuan didn't come back alone. Instead, he brought back a woman and a child.

The woman was Gu Xiuci. She looked like a celestial being. Even Lin Xian 'er, who was known as the "Number One Beauty in the World," couldn't be compared to her.

"Little brother, you don't know," the passerby said excitedly. "That girl is really as beautiful as a celestial being. No, no, no, she is a celestial being.

The moment she appeared, even the light in the sky seemed to dim.

If I hadn't seen this Miss Gu, I really wouldn't know how to write the word 'beauty'. "

"Ai, what a pity …" After a long time, the passerby changed the topic and sighed.

"What, why do you say it's a pity when there's such a beauty?" Su Tingyun raised his eyebrows.

The passerby said again, "It's a pity that the city hasn't been peaceful recently. Do you know the Plum Blossom Bandits?

Ai, I think you're inexperienced and don't know about this.

The Plum Blossom Bandits are full of evil. They specialize in raping women. It's said that they have already arrived in Baoding.

Originally, this evil thief would probably make a move on Lin Xian 'er, who was known as the "Number One Beauty in the World," but once Miss Gu appeared, I'm afraid the target will change. "

"There's actually no one who can restrain this villain?"

Su Tingyun pretended to be surprised, but in his heart, he thought that this girl might be a breakthrough. "I heard that Li Fei Dao never misses a target. Even Li Tanhua can't guarantee Miss Gu's safety?"

"The Plum Blossom Bandit has been famous for a long time, much more than Li Tanhua, but no one has been able to catch him for so many years. What do you think?"

Su Tingyun understood and was even more certain that this was an opportunity. If he could get acquainted with Li Xunhuan through this, it might be easier for him to investigate in the future.

He said righteously, "I am also a member of Jianghu. Although my experience is still shallow, I still want to contribute. Brother, can you tell me where Li Tanhua lives?"

The passersby saw that he was full of passion and did not fake it, so they pointed him to the place. Although the former Li Garden had become the Happycloud Heights, it was still a power that could not be ignored in Baoding.

On the other side, the main character of the discussion was a guest at the Happycloud Heights. Unable to resist the persuasion of a group of "enthusiastic people," she could only temporarily stay at the Heights before the Plum Blossom Bandits were caught.

Because she was not familiar with these people, she had been cooped up in the guest room for the past two days.

Today, she really could not bear it anymore, so she dragged someone out for a walk.

The girl's slender jade hands seemed to be boneless. She was holding a slightly smaller hand as they strolled along the street. The person she was holding was her younger brother, Xiao Liu.

The boy looked like he was carved from jade. His face was pure and innocent, and he was constantly curious about the things around him. At a glance, one could tell that he was a young master raised by a large family.

The two of them, one big and one small, each of their movements was a scene that people could not take their eyes off of.

Behind the two of them, there was a young man following them from afar, like a little tail.

This youth was none other than Hoodlum.

Hoodlum naturally recognized Gu Xiuci. Early on, when he first met Li Xunhuan, he had seen her in the carriage. At first glance, he had been stunned by her beauty.

The youth's thoughts were simple and pure. He did not understand why his heart would beat faster when he saw Miss Gu.

He secretly felt that he was too frivolous and wanted to calm down a bit. However, when he heard that the Plum Blossom Bandits had appeared, he could not help but follow them.

Gu Xiuci had never thought that he would be so troubled. She only treated him as a younger brother. He was not like Xiao Liu, who had a maturity that did not match his age.

After strolling around, Xiao Liu stopped in front of a small stall selling tanghulu. He stared at the red and large tanghulu.

Gu Xiuci understood and bought two skewers from the stall. She gave one to Xiao Liu and turned around to give the other to Hoodlum, who was following them.

Hoodlum probably did not expect that he would also have a share. He immediately turned his head away with a red face and stammered, saying that it was not necessary.

Gu Xiuci saw that he did not know what to do and pretended to be troubled. "If you don't accept it, then I can't let you follow me. Look, you're protecting me personally and you're not charging me. How can I not feel embarrassed?"

Seeing that Hoodlum was still hesitating, she sighed and turned around in disappointment. "Then let's part ways here."

"Wait … wait a minute.

I'll just accept it. "

Hoodlum still took the tanghulu and took a bite under the other party's smiling eyes. Yes, it was sour and sweet. It was a taste that he had never tasted before. Of course, it was even sweeter in his heart.

In the dark corner of the street, someone saw this scene and could not help but clench his fists.

What was the most unbearable thing for a woman who prided herself on her looks?

Naturally, there was someone who was prettier than her.

Because of her good looks, Lin Xian 'er had a lot of advantages. It was also thanks to her good looks that she was able to have a place in Happycloud Heights.

Didn't you see how all the men in the past would stare at her when they saw her? She enjoyed being the center of attention and enjoyed toying with men in the palms of her hands.

However, all of this changed after the appearance of the Gu woman!

Although her beauty had not changed, she clearly felt threatened. Those ministers under her skirt continued to praise and flatter her, but their eyes slowly fell on others. Men were all eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. She absolutely could not tolerate being compared to them.

This woman deserved to die more than Li Xunhuan. At one point, she even thought of changing her plans and killing this woman first before proceeding with the Plum Blossom Bandits.

No, she could not let her off so easily. She wanted to capture her and slowly torture her. She wanted to let her know that beauty would also attract disaster.

There was a murderous aura!

The first person to feel the murderous aura was Xiao Liu, who did not take it seriously.

He calmly walked towards Gu Xiuci and wrote three words on her palm with the help of his wide sleeve. Gu Xiuci shook his hand to show her understanding.

Although they could take care of the little mouse in the dark, they still did not know who the mastermind was. There was no need to act rashly and alert the enemy.

Gu Xiuci and Xiao Liu appeared to be ordinary people who did not know martial arts. Only Li Xunhuan knew that there was more to their identities. However, Li Xunhuan was not a talkative person. If they did not say anything, he would not pursue the matter. This gave the two of them a chance to cover up.

In this tangled and complicated world, it was better to be careful.

The three of them strolled around for a while. During this time, they tasted all kinds of snacks and pastries. Hoodlum was also fed quite a bit, and he felt a sweet pain in his heart.

When Xiao Liu really could not eat anymore, he had the intention to return home. However, he did not expect to run into an old friend.

From afar, he saw a person carrying a sword and shield in front of Happycloud Heights, guarding Zhou Xuan. It was obvious that he was being bullied.

Aside from the disciples of the Ash Cloud Sect, who else would be able to dress up like this?

Gu Xiuci and Xiao Liu could not help but feel excited. However, they restrained themselves for the sake of the big picture. Otherwise, they would have used their Qinggong to fly over and confirm.
