The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 2 Withered Plum
In the main hall.

After Fang Yunhua gently pushed open the door, Master Kumei, who had been lost in thought, also looked up at him.

She sat upright with no expression on her face, her whole body motionless, like a stone statue that had been sitting there since time immemorial.

Fang Yunhua had already straightened up and spoke cautiously.

"master."

"Hmm." Ku Mei nodded in response, but a rare look of hesitation appeared on her face, which made Fang Yunhua even more uneasy.

Because although her master was very thin, she had an indescribable majesty. Anyone who looked at her would lower their voice.

This frown made the already spacious hall feel even more oppressive.

After a few minutes of silence, the usually serious and composed Ku Mei suddenly sighed.

"Yunhua, you have a friend here."

Fang Yunhua's heart skipped a beat, and the words he was about to say involuntarily became stammered.

"A woman...a woman?"

"male."

Fang Yunhua breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt puzzled again.

This time, Ku Mei didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"It's that Jin Banhua from the capital."

"Old Jin, I'd say we're friends."

Yeah, fair-weather friends, the kind you just hang out with.

While sorting through his memories of his past life in the room, Fang Yunhua discovered that he had unintentionally met quite a few characters from the original work.

That's how we met.
"Yunhua!"

Ku Mei's tone became more serious, which brought Fang Yunhua, who was lost in thought, back to reality.

"master."

"Tell me honestly, you didn't get into any trouble during your last trip abroad, did you?"

"No, no!" Fang Yunhua quickly explained, "Actually, I haven't offended anyone. It's just a coincidence that I accidentally met some nice girls."

"Good sister! Humph!"

At this point, Ku Mei's expression became somewhat conflicted.

She didn't know what sins she had committed, yet she kept cleaning up the messes left by this wicked disciple.

First came Zuo Mingzhu, the beloved daughter of Zuo Qinghou of Zhibei Manor; then Shi Yin of Shi Family Manor; and finally Jin Lingzhi, the youngest granddaughter of Madam Jin of Wanfu Wanshou Garden. All of them came directly to our door for the time being.

There are still people who don't know about this behind the scenes.

My blood pressure went up.

Looking at her wayward disciple, Ku Mei really wanted to slap him, but the other party was exceptionally promising. In terms of talent and comprehension, he far surpassed her own first disciple, Gao Yanan. Even when her parents came to her door to discuss matters concerning women, Ku Mei was still quite capable.

However, because this wicked disciple had succeeded in breaking through from within, these three beauties, who were among the best in the martial arts world, were determined to speak to him, and in the end, the matter had to be temporarily suppressed.

Furthermore, because of this special relationship, the Huashan Sect can successfully use these three channels to develop its own path and strengthen itself.

In truth, the entire Huashan Sect is currently living off this wicked disciple.

"Oh well, never mind, you go first."

Ku Mei waved her hand weakly, but seeing that her unfilial disciple did not move, she asked.

"Do you have anything else?"

"Master, I want to tell you a story."

"what?"

Fang Yunhua took a deep breath before mustering his courage to speak.

"Actually, I met an older sister last time I went down the mountain. She probably had never met anyone she liked before, so after we chatted for a few minutes, she started to pour her heart out to me and shower me with money. But am I the kind of person who lives off a woman?

Of course not!
So I firmly rejected her, but because of this incident, I discovered something: some older women who have never experienced love are easily deceived by despicable young men and end up with nothing!
"And our Huashan Sect is predominantly female, with a significant imbalance between males and females, and those elders are mostly..." "Wait! Several elders?" Ku Mei's gaze towards Fang Yunhua turned strange. "How old is the 'elder sister' you're talking about?"

"Big Two"

"Two years old?"

"Twenties and thirties"

"You unfilial disciple!" Ku Mei unleashed a palm strike, clearly targeting him with that twenty or thirty-year-old man's words. How dare this unfilial disciple say such witty things to him!

However, his expression changed slightly the next second.

The reason was that, based on his understanding of the wicked disciple's strength, the palm strike he unleashed in a fit of rage should have sent the door crashing down with a bang. However, after the wicked disciple pointed a few times with his sword, the palm strike was easily neutralized.

"You've grasped the meaning?"

What do you mean?

Fang Yunhua's reaction was entirely subconscious. After successfully deflecting Ku Mei's palm strike, he belatedly realized that something seemed amiss with his situation.

First, there was the development of control over the body, as if it had suddenly reached a higher level. This was a leap in the essence of life, which allowed him to instantly see through the weakness of the palm strike and directly neutralize it.

Secondly, it seems that his comprehension has improved again.

After Ku Mei asked that question that conveyed the meaning of enlightenment, Fang Yunhua vaguely grasped something.

"Why don't you go out and see your friends first?"

The withered plum tree, which had been somewhat lively, has returned to its usual quiet and serene nature.

After Fang Yunhua nodded and left the main hall, Ku Mei looked thoughtfully at the candlestick where the other party had been standing. A whirlwind swirled around the flickering candlelight.

As the door closed tightly, the dissipating wind also carried away the light from the candlestick.
-
The Huashan Sect has a special reception hall for receiving guests.

As Fang Yunhua entered the living room, while he was still studying his own changes, he glanced up and noticed Jin Banhua, who was dressed in a nouveau riche outfit.

The other party's sudden arrival surprised him.

"Brother Fang!"

Jin Banhua was very excited and started speaking right away.

"I'm asking Brother Fang for help!"

Fang Yunhua frowned slightly. He didn't say anything, but simply gestured for the other party to continue.

"You've probably heard the recent rumors circulating in the martial arts world."

"you mean?"

"My beautiful jade maiden has been stolen by that despicable Chu Liuxiang!"

"So, you want me to help you get it back?"

"I've gathered some people to try and see if there's any opportunity."

Jin Banhua clenched her fists, her face filled with resentment, but this only provoked a mocking smile from Fang Yunhua.

Noticing the undisguised mockery, Kim Ban-hwa's expression also changed.

"Brother Fang, why?"

“You don’t understand Young Master Jin, and you don’t understand the friendship between me and Old Jin. He’s such a proud person, he would never come to me about this, especially not in front of me. He would never say such a weak thing.”

Kim Ban-hwa remained expressionless.

He didn't try to argue anymore; instead, it seemed as if he was mentally rehearsing his words.

But Fang Yunhua would not give him a chance to think.

Based on his understanding of the original timeline, he had already guessed the other party's identity.

This is practically a combat capability test delivered right to our doorstep!

A rare opportunity!

"You've come with ill intentions! Tell me! Did you kill Old Jin? I'm going to avenge Old Jin!"

After securing the moral high ground with the first move, Fang Yunhua drew his sword directly from his waist. A flash of cold light, accompanied by the sound of a sword ringing out, resounded throughout the entire guest hall!
