The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 150 A Bowl of Noodles
"This is me."

Sun Baifa was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't explain it. Was he supposed to say that brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes? Even if his most beloved granddaughter was right in front of him, he would just flip the table over.

A few days ago, when the other party was influenced by Lin Xian'er and suddenly threw a punch, he realized that his granddaughter had changed.

It's hard to say whether this change is good or bad, but most men, or rather, 99% of men in today's mainstream society, would find it unbearable for their granddaughter to hold such thoughts.

At that moment, he also understood the most crucial and shining point about Fang Yunhua that the other party had pointed out.

Only the other party could tolerate his increasingly willful granddaughter.

"Sigh," Sun Baifa sighed deeply again. "It's good that you don't regret it. Perhaps in his eyes you were just an appendage of that Miss Lin, no, more like a bedchamber maid!"

He was still somewhat annoyed about Sun Xiaohong's earlier rebuke of Li Xunhuan.

After all, as a die-hard fan of Li Xunhuan, he firmly believes that Li Xunhuan is the most loving and remarkable person in the martial arts world.

Sun Xiaohong gave a soft snort. Just as she was about to retaliate, she heard a voice coming from the back room.

“Everyone is an independent individual. How could Miss Sun become someone’s appendage? As for the bedchamber maid, that’s utter nonsense. I, an outsider, can’t stand it when Mr. Sun berates his granddaughter like this.”

Fang Yunhua walked in carrying a bowl of scallion noodles.

Both Sun Xiaohong and Sun Baifa were stunned for a moment.

"Try it. My cooking skills are probably not bad. Although they can't compare to the chef at this inn, it's still a token of my appreciation and a way to thank Miss Sun for her help during this time."

Fang Yunhua smiled and handed Sun Xiaohong a pair of chopsticks.

In terms of beauty and figure, the other woman certainly cannot compare to Lin Xian'er, but why must we compare?

Sun Xiaohong also possesses her own charm.

A bright smile, captivating big eyes, boundless energy like a little sun, and a clear, melodious voice like a nightingale singing in a valley. More importantly, when she's shy, her face, as red as an apple, is incredibly cute.

Even Lin Xian'er, who now adopts a variety of styles, cannot perfectly replicate these unique charms.

"Did you hear everything just now?" Despite lowering her head shyly, Sun Xiaohong still asked persistently.

Fang Yunhua nodded calmly.

"After hearing the last few sentences, it is clear that when one's strength reaches a certain level, one's five senses will also be enhanced. With Mr. Sun's strength, he should have already noticed that I was coming, otherwise you wouldn't have deliberately asked such a question."

"I did hear your footsteps deliberately made, but I didn't expect you to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles."

"It's not a bowl of noodles."

The waiter, a few steps behind Fang Yunhua, quickly brought out another bowl of scallion noodles, which was obviously prepared by Fang Yunhua for Sun Baifa.

"Sir, please have a taste."

Sun Baifa snorted, but when he saw the chopsticks Fang Yunhua handed him, he accepted them without hesitation, and his impression of Fang Yunhua improved considerably.

After all, the other party is the dignified master of Tianji Tower and a well-known expert in the martial arts world. The fact that he personally cooked a bowl of noodles already shows his sincerity.

"Delicious!" Sun Xiaohong's smile became even brighter after asking that question.

She didn't ask for an answer further because she felt comfortable with their current relationship and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

"Not bad," Sun Baifa muttered, but he ate his noodles quite quickly.

Making a bowl of scallion noodles, whether it's made better or worse, is no easy task. Fang Yunhua knew that her cooking skills were only passable, so the fact that she received such feedback could only mean that the two of them had a biased view of her.

At that moment, the door to a room on the third floor of the inn suddenly opened. Lin Xian'er, who was leaning against the railing, looked at Sun Xiaohong, whose eyes were sparkling, but there was not a trace of jealousy in the depths of her eyes.

Instead, there was a kind of inexplicable sense of melancholy.

She knew that Fang Yunhua's bowl of noodles had completely captured the heart of this somewhat confused young girl.

Especially when Sun Xiaohong turned over the noodles and found that there were several pieces of beef hidden inside, while Sun Baifa's bowl did not have this special ingredient, her eyes almost overflowed with spring water when she looked at Fang Yunhua.

Fang Yunhua then quietly made a shushing gesture to him.

The two, who tacitly kept a little secret, felt infinitely closer at this moment.

This is just a bowl of noodles.

With a creak, Lin Xian'er closed the door to the room again.

She walked to the round table in the guest room and looked at the deluxe beef noodle soup that had been piled high with beef on the table at some point, and a smile appeared on her face.

When Fang Yunhua returned, he saw a large bowl that had been completely empty of soup.

"You ate it all?"

For someone who practices martial arts, this amount of food is not a big problem, but he knew that Lin Xian'er was somewhat picky about food.

"After all, it was you who did it." Lin Xian'er nestled beside him, her gaze towards Fang Yunhua somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong?" After habitually grasping its soft spot, Fang Yunhua looked at the motionless other person with a puzzled expression.

"I just think you're too perfect, I really want to hide you away." Lin Xian'er said petulantly, giving his ear a small bite.

"Is he perfect?" Fang Yunhua didn't think so. With his perverse sense of humor, he could just ask Long Xiaoyun to find out if he was perfect or not.

"That little girl is probably already bewitched by you," Lin Xian'er snorted a few times.

"How can that be considered fishing!" After thoroughly enjoying the experience, Fang Yunhua realized that it was unwise to talk about another woman in front of one woman. So he changed the subject and said seriously, "I met with Bai Xiaosheng last night. Some plans need your cooperation to move forward. So far, there shouldn't be any major problems."

It concerns the Western cult.
Removing its tentacles that might threaten us wouldn't be difficult, but I have a much deeper interest in this cult.

"What interests?"

"This is an excellent opportunity to delve into the inner workings of the Demonic Sect and gain insight into its various secret manuals. I need to enrich my martial arts foundation with the Demonic Sect's unique skills, and I can also absorb its power for my own use."

Of course, there is an even more important point. Fang Yunhua felt that he had a special connection with this Western Demonic Sect because he had experienced the benefits of practicing the Myriad Wonders and the Nine Great Soul-Slaying Techniques in advance, which allowed him to enjoy the pleasure of crushing weaker opponents.

In order to prepare for the future, he needs to fully understand the secret techniques of the Demonic Sect.

Thinking of the jade pendant in his hand that belonged to the Heavenly King of Wisdom, and considering that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Sect kept their true identities a secret both internally and externally, and that only Hua Baikong probably knew the truth, some thoughts began to pop into his head.
-
After resting in the town for two days, the gossip team continued their journey towards Jiujiang Prefecture.

Meanwhile, various intelligence reports were constantly being transmitted into the small carriage. Fang Yunhua was unaware of what agreement Lin Xian'er had made with Sun Xiaohong in private, but a portion of the Sun family's intelligence network had already chosen to share information with the Tianji Tower.

And after arriving in Henan, Sun Baifa suddenly approached Fang Yunhua and talked about something.

"You want to become a guest elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"

Fang Yunhua looked somewhat surprised, and then his gaze fell on Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong, who were whispering to each other in the corner of the carriage.

The latter gave Fang Yunhua a bright smile.

The former then raised his eyebrows at him smugly.

Fang Yunhua understood.

This must have been Lin Xian'er secretly instigating Sun Xiaohong, who then used her status as a granddaughter to successfully persuade Sun Baifa.

With the addition of the Ruyi Elder, who was once ranked first on the Weapon Ranking, his prestige and mystery as the master of the Tianji Tower will be further enhanced.

"Let me make this clear first, this is just nominal dependence," Sun Baifa emphasized. "This old man can't follow you around fighting and killing."

"Am I some kind of murderous maniac who goes around fighting and killing?" Fang Yunhua rolled his eyes, but he readily agreed to the other party's joining, and even suggested that he give him the title of Old Man of Heavenly Mystery later.

"Forget it, the Heavenly Secrets are no different to me. I'll support you for another two years. And please remove my name from this weapon ranking list as soon as possible."

Since his last conversation with Fang Yunhua, he seems to have truly come to terms with this matter.

"But the old man also wants the host to grant me a request."

Then Sun Baifa leaned close to Fang Yunhua and whispered something.

"I hope that the second boy you have with my granddaughter will have the surname Sun."

"Isn't Mr. Fang a little too hasty?" Fang Yunhua said that he and Sun Xiaohong only had a basic emotional foundation, even though he had secretly let her hide in the wardrobe again along the way.

But in a true sense, this was a game of eroticism with Lin Xian'er.

On the surface, Fang Yunhua still pretended to know nothing about the matter.

"At my age, all I can hope for is family reunion and for the younger generation to find their own place in the world." Sun Baifa looked at the two women who were still whispering to each other and sighed deeply.

Even if the eldest granddaughter of the Sun family were to marry a disciple of one of the seven major sects, she would undoubtedly be the principal wife.

But now that his granddaughter is completely controlled by her in-laws, and is even willing to be their concubine, what can he say?

What also made him somewhat gratified was that, not to mention the disciples of the leaders of the seven major sects, even the leaders of the seven major sects were far inferior to Fang Yunhua. Looking at the current martial arts world, there was no better candidate than Fang Yunhua among his peers.

For the sake of the family, he naturally hoped that his granddaughter's next generation could inherit the talent of this prodigy and bring that talent back to the Sun family.

Fang Yunhua was quite understanding of the old man's feelings.

For him, having children is something to consider after he has completed his one true path.

But that didn't matter; he agreed first.

Sun Baifa was quite agitated, after all, in this era, his request was actually somewhat excessive.

This made his gaze towards Fang Yunhua even more amiable and friendly.

Regarding the battle atop Mount Lu, the two had many discussions based on the intelligence that had been continuously arriving in recent days.

"The man in black, wearing a black robe, black shoes and black socks, with a black-sheathed longsword slung across his back, should refer to Guo Songyang."

"This person is fond of fame. He is naturally somewhat dissatisfied with your decision to move him from fourth to seventh. Therefore, he also wants to see the true strength of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, who you ranked first. Moreover, as a true swordsman, he is also very interested in Tianshan Snow Eagle."

Sun Baifa can now speak more openly and doesn't need to maintain the same appropriate distance from Fang Yunhua as before.

"You also need to be careful about the Guo family he comes from. Although the three most famous families in the martial arts world today are the three great families, many of them have had glorious experiences, but they have chosen to lie low for various reasons."

"For example, the Sun family you belong to?"

Sun Baifa gave a proud and arrogant hum.

In Fang Yunhua's view, the overall strength shown by the Sun family far surpasses that of the so-called three great families. First, there is their powerful intelligence network. Second, in the original storyline, Sun Xiaohong mentioned that her seventh uncle was skilled in poison techniques, comparable to the Five Poisons Child.

Her second uncle was Sun Hunchback, nicknamed "He could carry a mountain on his back and the mountain wouldn't break him."

Add to that the former champion of the weapons ranking, and it's safe to say that the place is teeming with talent.

Similarly, in Guo Songyang's family, there is also a little brat that Fang Yunhua needs to be wary of. This brat is Guo Songyang's cousin, Guo Ding, who will give an outstanding performance in "The Eagle Flies in September" twenty years later.

He once defeated Nangong Yuan, one of the seven great masters in the martial arts world, with a single move called "Heaven and Earth Burning," and killed Donghai Yuxiao, who was originally ranked tenth on the Weapon Ranking and regarded by Fang Yunhua as a scapegoat.

"The Money Gang has also made a move. It seems that Gang Leader Shangguan will personally make the trip." Fang Yunhua's eyes were filled with intense interest.

"You want to fight him?" Sun Baifa frowned slightly.

"It's just that as one of the few normal people in the martial arts world, I'm very interested in him."

"You're saying he's normal?" Sun Baifa was shocked by this conclusion.

"Isn't it normal to focus wholeheartedly on one's career?"

"Uh..." Sun Baifa was speechless after being shut down by the other party's words, and could only steer the conversation to the next piece of information.

"There is also this news: Ximen Rou, the Whip God who was originally ranked seventh on the Weapon Ranking, and Zhuge Gang, who was ranked eighth and who could sweep through thousands of troops, had a verbal conflict and fought once. However, because there were too many people watching, the two left without a clear winner."

Judging from the direction they left, they should all be heading towards Jiujiang Prefecture.

Fang Yunhua nodded. The battle between the Great Joyful Bodhisattva and Tianshan Snow Eagle has now become the most important event in the martial arts world. It can only be said that the timing of You Longsheng's capture was too clever.

Because the weapon ranking list had just been updated not long ago, and the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva was the first on it, before the hype had died down, it immediately led to her joining forces with her subordinates to defeat fifty masters from the three major sects in one fell swoop.

Next up is the first time in twenty years that Tianshan Xueyingzi, once renowned as the greatest swordsman in the world, has drawn his sword.

This wave of attention has maximized every possible opportunity to ride the wave of popularity.

This also indicates that Mount Lu must be extremely dangerous.
