Chapter 103: The Legend of the Condor Hero + Little Li Flying Dagger World
On the first day of arriving at Li Garden, Ya Ge saw Lin Shi Yin who lived in Leng Xiang Xiao Zhu with her maid and servant. The peerless beauty who made Long Xiao Yun fall in love at first sight was now just an eight-year-old little loli, she had just experienced a huge change in her family and her face was somewhat pale, the shallow smile on her face also looked somewhat melancholy. If Ya Ge didn't believe that a child could have such a melancholic smile before, he had to believe it now.
In the original work, Lin Shiyin doesn't appear much, Gu Long only roughly wrote that she lost her parents at a young age and lived in Li Garden, where she grew up with Li Xunhuan and was engaged to him. In the TV series, it's different, she is the daughter of the master of Mo Dao Men, after Mo Dao Men was destroyed, she was sent to the Li family.
No matter which path her life took, her feelings for Li Xunhuan were undeniable. Children in ancient times were already very mature, and those in the martial arts world were even more so. At this time, Lin Shiyin's interactions with Li Xunhuan had already developed a romantic feeling. However, Li Xunhuan was currently busy preparing for his exams, so he didn't have much time to spend alone with his cousin.
Yahiko was also worried about the difficult problem that the system had given him. He and Lin Shiyin didn't have any blood relationship, so how could he be qualified to raise this girl? Feifei did have some relation with Lin Shiyin, after all, Lin Shiyin's mother was also a daughter of the Li family, but she was only a cousin-in-law. Compared to Lin Shiyin's uncle, Li father, their relationship was still a bit distant.
And what is Lin Shiyin's happiness?
Although she is the only daughter of the master of Mo Dao Men, her mother was a lady from a scholarly family. Without mentioning how these two people came together, Lin Shiyin grew up in such a family. Raised by her mother, Lin Shiyin was more like a lady from a boudoir, and the Jianghu aura inherited from her father was almost non-existent.
So what is happiness for a young lady who can be said to be living under someone else's roof?
Even if Yajiao is unwilling, he has no choice but to admit that Lin Shiyin's happiness is Li Xunhuan.
So, Ya Ge's task is not only to teach Lin Shi Yin to change her weak personality and not let Li Xun Huan arrange everything for her without having any opinion of her own, but also to discipline Li Xun Huan so that he won't casually "give away" his fiancée who is also his cousin.
Even if the original book has many coincidences or other entanglements between the three, and Li Xunhuan has his own thoughts and ideas, but no matter what, the final result is that Lin Shiyin became Long Xiaoyun's wife, and their marriage was unhappy! Even if this is not entirely Li Xunhuan's fault, he should still bear the main responsibility.
If he had said a few more words when introducing Lin Shiyin to Long Xiuyun at Liyuan, the outcome might not have been like that. Li Xunhuan only introduced Lin Shiyin as his cousin, but didn't tell Long Xiuyun that she was his fiancée who was about to get married. As a result, Long Xiuyun fell in love with Lin Shiyin at first sight and later even got lovesick and almost died.
Not to mention whether lovesickness can be fatal, but at that time Long Xiao Yun was still considered a great hero. If he had known about Li Xunhuan's engagement to Lin Shaoyin, he probably wouldn't have let his feelings develop to that extent. And when Li Xunhuan gave the Li Garden as dowry to Lin Shaoyin and she married him, only then did she learn the truth - what kind of emotions would Long Xiao Yun be feeling?
As a man, he would not be grateful to Li Xunhuan, but would feel humiliated. Moreover, with Lin Shaoyin's indifference and estrangement towards him, he would become the Long Xiaoyun who later hated Li Xunhuan to death.
It seems that both of them need to be well-behaved, so Ya Ge sighed and began making arrangements. As a result, Lin Shi Yin became Fei Fei's apprentice, while Li Xun Huan became his apprentice. Although Ya Ge didn't have any official title, his writing skills and governing methods earned him the respect of Li Xun Huan's father, so it was only natural that Li Xun Huan would become his apprentice.
Yah didn't know whether Lin Shiyin was better off marrying a great hero or a high-ranking official, but women probably all prefer a more peaceful life. The life of a martial artist may be exciting, but the risks are really too great; if Lin Shiyin were also a heroic woman that would be one thing, but she had been raised by Li as a pampered young lady...
It's good that she is still young, and because Li Xunhuan is very interested in martial arts, so she is also willing to follow Feifei to learn martial arts. Feifei's maternal instincts were thus triggered by Lin Shiyin, who was both her master and aunt, pouring out all her enthusiasm and tenderness towards this little loli.
Since both of them had disciples, they naturally couldn't leave Shanxi casually anymore, but it wasn't a good idea to keep living in Li Garden either. Yage bought the house opposite Li Garden, renovated and expanded it, and another Li Mansion was built. Who made him bear the surname Li for this life?
After moving into her own house, Yage went to Li Garden every day to teach Li Xunhuan. Feifei would occasionally bring Lin Shiyin over to stay for a while. In Yage's home, Lin Shiyin gradually lost the feeling of being dependent on others. After all, the relationship between master and apprentice in this era was like that of father and son or mother and daughter. She now had a "mother's family" too, and when facing Li Xunhuan, she was no longer so submissive, but instead became more lively and charming.
Li Xunhuan also matured under the guidance of Ya Ge, and his interpersonal skills improved significantly, making Li's father feel delighted. Although Li Xunhuan still didn't have high expectations for the imperial court but yearned for the Jianghu, under Ya Ge's explanation and analysis, he gradually understood that the difference between Jianghu and the imperial court wasn't as great as he had thought.
The rivers and lakes are not entirely free, there are many things involved in being among them, just like the imperial court has many interests intertwined. The only difference is that in the imperial court, you have to look at your political vision and political skills, while in the rivers and lakes, it's more about the size of your fist.
But even with high martial arts skills, one may still capsize when facing some people's sinister plots.
Having a master like Ya Ge who has been in both the imperial court and the jianghu, Li Xunhuan's personality and outlook on life have changed. No matter which world he chooses to stay in eventually, for now, he still needs to focus on studying and preparing for the next series of exams.
Li Xunhuan and his father both accepted Ya Ge's suggestion, letting him prepare more, and not participating in the exam two years later.
Five years passed, and just as Li Xunhuan became the champion of the Flower Festival like in the original story, Yage and Feifei's eldest son was also born at the Li residence. Looking at the small baby with red skin and some wrinkles, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but pucker her mouth and poke fun: "Master, he's so ugly."
Feifei smiled gently: "Newborn babies are all like this, after a few days he will open his eyes."
"Really?" Lin Shiyin furrowed her brow, then smiled again, "No matter if he's ugly or handsome, he's my brother, I'll take good care of him, Master."
"Shi Yin is really clever." Fei Fei patted her head and then said with a teasing tone, "However, Xun Huan has already been chosen by the Emperor as the Matchmaker's Flower, in two years when you come of age, you will have to marry him. There are many things to prepare now, do you still have time to take care of your little brother?"
Looking at the girl who is becoming more and more fond of smiling under her care, she is delighted. She herself did not have a happy childhood, but at least gave Pei Yin a relatively happy childhood. Fei Fei felt no regret, which can also be considered as a little emotional transference.
Lin Shiyin's face turned red, and she pouted, pulling on Feifei's sleeve. The two of them laughed and played in the room until the baby woke up and needed to be fed before they finally calmed down.
Li Fu and his eldest son did not die of illness like in the original, so the burden on Li Xunhuan's shoulders was much lighter. After Li Xunhuan became a famous scholar, Ya Ge had a deep conversation with Li Fu. Knowing that his youngest son's ambition was not in the imperial court, but to take the exam for the sake of the Li family, Li Fu thought about it for several days and finally agreed to let Li Xunhuan become a great hero, but on one condition: he must first serve as an official for a few years.
For the next three years, Li Xunhuan stayed in the Hanlin Academy, being very mediocre. Three years later, he did not take any exams and resigned directly to go home. After returning home, he married Lin Shiyin in the Li Garden. The two had already had feelings for each other, so their life after marriage was naturally filled with love.
Because Li Xunhuan's elder brother was still alive, the two of them had married and developed in completely different directions, so their father divided the family property ahead of time. The couple moved to another five-room house on the west side of the city, although it couldn't compare with the spacious and beautiful scenery of Li Garden, it was enough for the husband and wife to live in.
Just as Lin Shiyin was pregnant, Li Xunhuan brought back a man. The children of Jianghu didn't take etiquette too seriously, and Lin Shiyin, with her belly protruding, received the sworn brother who had saved her husband's life. Seeing that pregnancy made Lin Shiyin even more charming, Long Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, and then he laughed loudly and greeted his younger sister-in-law.
Although Lin Shiyin is the type that Long Xiao Yun likes, he still understands the principle that a friend's wife is not to be trifled with, let alone the wife of his newly sworn brother who is six months pregnant. After staying at Li Xunhuan's house for three days, he found an excuse to leave.
Lin Shiyin was still pregnant, how could he bear to let a pregnant woman worry about entertaining him.
Long after Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan got married, Ya Ge took his family back to the West Lake Villa. He had done enough for this side quest, spending eight years of his life, if the result was not satisfactory, then there was nothing he could do about it.
When he received news from his subordinates, he smiled.
Lin Shiyin's fate has finally changed, and Li Xunhuan is no longer the wandering swordsman who traveled to Guanwai for ten years. His flying knife skills have not yet reached perfection but are already showing signs of greatness, and the name "Little Li Flying Knife" is gradually rising in Zhongyuan. His wife is not just a simple lady from a boudoir, her delicate appearance belies her impressive martial arts skills, which send those Jianghu villains who had designs on her and their son fleeing in disarray.
Yahiko and Tobi gradually lost contact with them, after all, they were far apart and had their own lives. As long as they still remembered each other in their hearts, it was fine to maintain that initial feeling when they rarely met.
Yage and Feifei have only one son, named Li Yuan, nicknamed Afei.
More than a decade later, Li Yuan became known as the "Flying Sword Guest" for his exceptional swordsmanship and solved the case of the "Plum Blossom Thief" with his cousin and senior fellow disciple Li Xunhuan. It's still worth lamenting the stubbornness of some fates.
Ya Ge was deeply in love with Fei Fei Qinsi for a lifetime.
The author has something to say: It's finally over!
Tudou thinks that Long Xiao Yun was also worthy of the title of "great hero" in the early days, but unfortunately, he really became psychologically distorted later on due to various reasons.
Sometimes one choice can affect your whole life!
In the next world, Princess Ya is getting married, and everyone wants to see if she will marry Li Shimin or Li Chengqian.
Whichever side has more relatives, the potato will be written on that side.
This world's Ah Fei is really a potato with bad taste, Li Yuan and all that, hahaha, Yajiao next time no matter if it's Li Shimin or Li Chengqian will cry.
