The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 3 Chu Liuxiang

Chu Liuxiang was in a bad mood.

After acquiring the beautiful Bai Yu, he should have been able to relax on that treasure ship for a while.

But the floating corpses drifting down the river piqued his curiosity.

Following that was the one-month agreement made by Gong Nanyan, a disciple of the Divine Water Palace.

This forced him to investigate the truth hidden behind the corpse.

If the original story were to continue, Chu Liuxiang's target should be the identities of the five corpses, while the investigation of the stolen Tianyi Divine Water would be entrusted to his aunt, Su Rongrong, who had joined the Divine Water Palace.

But now things have taken a slight turn.

It has been confirmed that the pregnant Shenshui Palace disciple who stole Tianyi Divine Water and then chose to commit suicide was definitely misled.

Before she died, she only said sorry to the child in her womb, yet she would rather die than reveal 'his' identity. This infatuation shows that 'his' methods were clever.

Based on Su Rongrong's original words: He must be very good at talking, very smart, very good at pleasing girls, and must be very charming. Young girls can never resist this kind of man.

Then the suspects can be basically identified.

After all, who in the martial arts world today is unaware of the abilities of the Amorous Young Master Fang Yunhua?

Zuo Mingzhu of Zhibei Manor, Shi Yin of Shi Family Manor, Jin Lingzhi of Wanfu Wanshou Garden, Yan Wushuang, the most beautiful courtesan in the capital, Song Emei of the Song family in Lingnan, Gu Qingcheng of the Hainan Sword Sect, and Xie Lingshan, the little princess of Kunlun.
These women are all rumored to have had considerable interaction with him.

Despite his reputation for being amorous being known throughout the martial arts world, these renowned female warriors and young ladies from noble families flocked to him like moths to a flame, leading Chu Liuxiang to subconsciously suspect that he was also having an affair with a disciple of the Divine Water Palace.

Moreover, only a romantic young master could possess such superb skills to make a pregnant woman choose to commit suicide to protect him.

Of course, suspicion is one thing, but to conduct a thorough investigation, one must first make contact with the other party.

For the past six months, rumors have circulated that this amorous young master has accumulated too many romantic entanglements, leading the Huashan Sect Leader, Master Kumei, to issue a curfew, thus thwarting Chu Liuxiang's plan to meet him.

But it doesn’t matter, there are always more solutions than problems.

According to Chu Liuxiang's investigation, after confirming that Jin Banhua, the unfortunate victim whose white jade beauty he had recently stolen, had a close relationship with this amorous young man, he thought of using their relationship, especially the theft of the white jade beauty, to get closer to Fang Yunhua.

After all, he's a professional at disguise.

But to his surprise, he was seen through before he could say more than a few words.

At that moment, the candlelight in the guest room suddenly flickered, and the flames on the twelve bronze lamp holders simultaneously shifted to the northwest corner. Fang Yunhua's sword had already pierced three inches in front of Chu Liuxiang's throat.

"What a fine sword!" Chu Liuxiang exclaimed.

Fang Yunhua had no choice but to stop the sword from striking.

"You won't hide?"

"Even though you said you wanted to kill me, there wasn't a trace of killing intent on this sword."

Chu Liuxiang removed his disguise mask, revealing a handsome face that was almost comparable to Fang Yunhua's.

"My name is Chu Liuxiang. Greetings. I have some questions I would like to ask the amorous young master."

Although in this reception hall, one person's sword tip was hovering three inches from another's throat, the atmosphere seemed much more harmonious than before. Fang Yunhua did not sheath his sword, but spoke.

"It's rather impolite of you to come and meet me in disguise."

"so?"

"Let's fight one match first!"

Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly, then leaped into the air, his superb lightness skill easily avoiding the range of the sword light.

Fang Yunhua's sword speed increased by another 30%, and he flicked his wrist to unleash nine sword flowers. These seemingly real and unreal sword moves, which appeared to be there but not there, seemed to be there but not there, and seemed to be changing but not changing, made it difficult for the experienced Chu Liuxiang to see through them.

As he dodged again, his toes touched the landscape painting hanging on the hall pillar and he flipped in mid-air. Before the silk ribbon of the jade pendant at his waist had even hit the ground, Fang Yunhua's sword had already swept across the painting!

At this moment, Fang Yunhua's mastery of the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng had reached a new level.

He realized something in his heart; this was probably what he called his "golden touch."

Without a system, without Deep Blue, and without any strange magical artifacts, it was all thanks to the enhancement brought by memories from his past life that he gained increasingly stronger control and development over his body and mind. This was truly all due to his own efforts! (Smile)
Immediately, the silk fragments cut by the sword fluttered like butterflies, forming a strange vortex under the guidance of this superb swordsmanship, tearing seventeen rips into the hem of Chu Liuxiang's snow-white robe!
"As expected of the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng! As expected of the treasured sword Lingxiao that Xue Yiren collects! And as expected of the amorous young master!"

Chu Liuxiang seemed completely unconcerned about his momentary lapse in judgment, as if he were deliberately letting Fang Yunhua vent his anger.

Fang Yunhua, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression. After all, the other party's praise made him feel like they were being sarcastic or mocking.

There's nothing wrong with praising your own Qingfeng Thirteen Styles.

But it's awkward to suddenly mention Xue Yiren, because Fang Yunhua's Lingxiao Sword was obtained through Xue Yiren's in-laws, the Shi family, after paying a certain price.

Thinking of Xue Yiren's biological daughter, Xue Honghong, with her donkey-like face, Fang Yunhua still felt a chill run down his spine.

However, it was all worth it!
"what?"

As Chu Liuxiang kept dodging, he realized that Fang Yunhua's swordsmanship had become much sharper.

Its variation is the fifth move of the Thirteen Styles of Gentle Breeze, "Pine Waves Overlapping Waves," in which the sword tip strikes the sandalwood octagonal table nine times.

Each light tap caused the table leg to sink half an inch, and the nine crisp sounds subtly corresponded to the nine palaces.

When the final knock sounded, the entire table suddenly exploded into nearly a hundred wooden spikes, forming a net that enveloped Chu Liuxiang, who had already sensed something was wrong and began to retreat rapidly!
The sparring and fighting in the guest room somewhat limited the performance of this master of light-footed skills.

But as a seasoned combat expert who thrives against strong opponents, this actually piqued the interest of this "Fragrant General".

He let out a long laugh, and suddenly three silk ribbons flew out from his sleeve and wrapped around the house beams.

Using the force of the ribbon retracting, he actually managed to perform the exquisite footwork of "Swallow Skimming the Water Three Times" amidst the torrential rain of wooden spikes!
At the most dangerous moment, three bone-piercing wooden spikes grazed past his nose, Adam's apple, and heart, but were deflected by his breath before they touched his skin. With a flick of his long sleeve, the soft force wrapped around his sleeve immediately sent several wooden spikes flying back towards Fang Yunhua!

Ding!Ding!Ding!
The trembling sword cry rang out again, and Fang Yunhua's Lingxiao Sword transformed into several phantoms, or like long snakes suddenly emerging from a stone cave. The sword tips, gleaming with cold light, pointed precisely at the wooden spikes that had completely enveloped it!
As wood chips flew through the air, the loud noise generated in the guest hall also attracted the attention of other disciples of the Huashan Sect.

The first to arrive was Master Kumei. Upon witnessing the clash between Fang Yunhua and Chu Liuxiang, she immediately realized that their interaction was primarily a friendly exchange. Consequently, she stopped the Huashan disciples who wanted to draw their swords and fight Fang Yunhua.

Among these disciples was a bright and cheerful woman who was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes. Her eyes, however, shone with a radiant light as she looked at Fang Yunhua.
