Is he planning to downplay the incident and treat it as a love triangle? Or is he just too stupid to see that the real purpose of the ambush was to eliminate his rival while secretly trying to steal his Foundation Establishment Pill?
Lin Xiuyuan forced a smile and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, you are too kind. It is good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, but you really have misunderstood. As you said that day, I truly had no such intention."
"Oh? Really?"
Li Yongyuan looked up, seemingly surprised and delighted.
Seeing this, Li Hongfu coughed lightly and looked at Li Yongyuan with a fierce gaze, his anger flashing.
Li Yongyuan immediately shuddered and quickly bowed again, saying, "Whether you have this intention or not, I have come to understand a principle: one should not be tainted by beautiful women."
"I hope you can forgive my previous offense. Thinking back now, it was the least wicked thing I could do. I wonder what price you need me to pay for your forgiveness. I will definitely make you satisfied."
Lin Xiuyuan felt somewhat speechless about Li Yongyuan at this moment, and immediately said:
"Fellow Daoist Li, you flatter me. I am going to the Chen family on this trip. We are both under the Jin Hai Sect and may become fellow disciples in the future. There is no need to be too concerned. As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. It will be a good story to tell in the future."
As he said this, Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Li Hongfu beside him, seemingly with a hidden meaning.
"Yes, hahaha, well said. It's true what they say, 'No fight, no friendship.' Fellow Daoist Lin is truly magnanimous, which makes me feel ashamed. When I return to the sect, I will definitely host a grand banquet..."

at this time.
The others watching this scene didn't find anything unusual to Qin Suwan and the Fire Talisman Master, since the spot was entirely due to Lin Xiuyuan, who must have considerable influence to be able to speak privately with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Because of Li Yongyuan, Qin Suwan felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Old Qin, standing to the side, noticed something amiss. Recalling Lin Xiuyuan's attitude that morning, he seemed to have guessed something about it.
With so little information, Old Qin couldn't quite make sense of it all at once, but after looking at Qin Suwan's retreating figure, he sighed inexplicably.
He had a feeling that this scene was not a good thing. After all, he knew Li Yongyuan and knew that he was determined to have Qin Suwan and had been pursuing her for many days.
The current scene is quite strange!
However, he still had a high opinion of Lin Xiuyuan's character, so although he felt a little strange, he did not feel uneasy about it.
Not long after everyone gathered.
The gate to the courtyard opened.
An elderly man emerged from among them, yet he did not appear overly aged; rather, he resembled a highly accomplished sage. He had a ruddy complexion, a tall stature, wore a white robe with gold patterns, and possessed a dignified and imposing presence.
"Greetings, Senior Zhao!"
Immediately, everyone bowed and greeted him.
Li Hongfu and the middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator also cupped their hands and said, "Senior Brother Zhao."
