All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 16 Lin Shiyin finally awakens

The person hiding behind the artificial hill was Lin Shiyin.

Her face was deathly pale, and she covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she might burst into tears at any moment.

Her body trembled, her eyes filled with tears, her gaze filled with surprise, doubt, sorrow, and anger.

Her son's death was a huge blow to her; she felt like the sky had fallen.

It wasn't until she heard about Li Xunhuan's situation that she mustered her energy to get up and ask him in person what had happened.

Because she absolutely refused to believe that Li Xunhuan would be the notorious Plum Blossom Bandit who committed all sorts of evil deeds.

It wasn't until just now, when she overheard her husband's conversation with Tian Qi, that she realized it was all a conspiracy.

She never imagined that her husband, who was always full of righteous words, was actually such a treacherous and vicious person behind her back.

It's been ten years!

For a full ten years, ironically, she remained completely in the dark until tonight when she discovered his true colors.

After waiting for a while, she finally wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and then slowly walked towards the small house where Li Xunhuan was imprisoned.

"Madam, please wait!"

Before she could reach the door, a guard nicknamed "Er Gouzi" and named Ba Ying suddenly emerged from the shadows and blocked her way.

Lin Shiyin said coldly, "What? Are you going to stop me?"

Ba Ying forced a smile: "Madam, please calm down. I'm only guarding this house on the orders of Master Long. Master Long has decreed that no one is allowed to approach this place without his permission, otherwise... otherwise..."

"Or else kill them without mercy?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"If you're scared, then get out of here!"

Lin Shiyin shouted and walked towards the door.

Ba Ying caught up and blocked his way again, saying with a pained expression, "Madam, it really won't work. Don't make things difficult for me."

Lin Shiyin said coldly, "Listen to me, I have never killed anyone. So don't force me to break my vow against killing."

Ba Ying couldn't help but shiver.

He knew that Lin Shiyin had just lost her son and was extremely emotionally unstable; in a fit of anger, she might actually kill him.

He dared not gamble with his life.

"Get out of here!"

Lin Shiyin pushed Ba Ying away with one hand and strode towards the hut.

It's been ten years!

She finally saw Li Xunhuan again!

When she saw Li Xunhuan leaning wearily against the wall, with gray hair already showing at his temples, tears streamed down her face.

"cousin……"

"Shion..."

The two looked at each other with tearful eyes, speechless and choked with emotion.

After a long while, Li Xunhuan finally said in a trembling voice, "You've lost weight, I suppose..."

"Don't worry about me, just leave, and I'll let you go right now!"

Lin Shiyin ran to Li Xunhuan's side in tears.

But then she suddenly remembered that she didn't know how to release the pressure points, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"I'm so useless. Why didn't I practice martial arts properly? Why...?"

"Shion, this isn't your fault. Besides, even if you could undo the pressure points, I wouldn't leave, because..."

Lin Shiyin said urgently, "Do you know they're trying to harm you? If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Li Xunhuan sighed but did not answer.

"You guessed it long ago, didn't you? It was him... Long Xiaoyun. I never imagined that he was in cahoots with those people. He betrayed you."

"Stop talking, you've probably misunderstood. How could he possibly betray me?"

Lin Shiyin stood up agitatedly and said angrily, "You've always been like this, always! You know everything in your heart, but you just won't say it."

"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Don't you believe me?"

"I know you're afraid I'll be sad, afraid I'll be heartbroken, but what could be more painful than losing my son? I... I don't want to lose you too!"

Li Xunhuan's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know whether to feel joy or pain.

Lin Shiyin's pent-up emotions of many years finally began to erupt—

"Do you want me to be clearer? Yes, I hate you! I hate you for abandoning me so heartlessly back then, making my life a living hell!"

"But the thought of you wandering alone beyond the Great Wall makes my heart ache so much! Cousin, you're so cruel, so incredibly cruel..."

"Ten years have passed, and you've finally spoken your mind!"

Suddenly, Long Xiaoyun walked in with a livid face.

Lin Shiyin coldly replied, "Why can't I say it? You think you're so proud of yourself, torturing the esteemed Little Li Tan Hua like this?"

"you……"

Long Xiaoyun came with the intention of questioning Lin Shiyin, thinking she would feel guilty and rush to explain, but he never expected her attitude to be so tough.

The important thing is that she actually asked him if he felt a great sense of accomplishment?

Did she know something?

So Long Xiaoyun's attitude softened immediately. He stepped forward, gently put his arm around Lin Shiyin's shoulder, and said softly, "Shiyin, it's my fault. I know you're sad, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Shiyin took a step back, her face expressionless, and said, "Please, never touch me again, never!"

Long Xiaoyun's body trembled, as if he had been whipped.

"Shion, do you even know what you're saying?"

"I think I've made myself clear enough. Your hands are dirty, and your heart is dirty."

Long Xiaoyun was startled and blurted out, "You knew everything?"

"Yes, I know all that!"

"and you……"

Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but glance at Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan let out a long sigh.

Long Xiaoyun's face turned cold, and he asked Li Xunhuan, "So, you knew about this too? Did she tell you?"

Originally, Li Xunhuan didn't want to say it.

But since he had already said this much, he could only sigh and say, "Even without her saying it, someone had already warned me. But I still didn't expect that when I was surrounded, you would put your arm around my shoulder."

"Because you know that once you do that, my throwing knife won't be launched immediately. That way, Zhao Zhengyi and Tian Qi will have a chance to succeed."

"Why, why!"

Lin Shiyin squatted down on the ground and burst into tears.

Long Xiaoyun's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched tightly, and he remained silent.

After crying for a while, Lin Shiyin suddenly stood up and said, "Long Xiaoyun, if you're still a human being, release my cousin."

Long Xiaoyun said coldly, "You want to go with him?"

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying here."

"That's enough!"

Long Xiaoyun suddenly went berserk, shouting and yelling.

"Li Xunhuan, I was originally the master of this house, but as soon as you came back, I felt like I was a guest here."

"The moment you arrived, my son was murdered. The moment you arrived, Shion changed too; she won't even let me touch her anymore. What have I become? Tell me, tell me!"

Li Xunhuan said with a bitter smile, "In the end, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have come back."

"Since you know you shouldn't have come back, then you..."

Just then, a loud shout came from outside: "Fourth Master Long, something terrible has happened! Someone has broken into Miss Xian'er's pavilion!"

Long Xiaoyun was startled and quickly ordered his men, "Send the madam back, and make sure to keep a close watch on this place."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.

Cold Fragrance Abode.

"Gu Yu, you bastard, I, Lin Xian'er, swear I will never forgive you!"

A sharp curse rang out in the night sky...
