The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 38 The Death of Nangong Ling

Even though he had expected it beforehand, hearing the name from Nangong Ling again still evoked complex emotions in Chu Liuxiang.

He has now figured out most of the Blood Sea Fragrance storyline, but what he still doesn't know is what kind of deep hatred Fang Yunhua has for Wuhua and Nangong Ling, and why they really want to kill each other.

"Why him?"

"Ha~"

The response was a cold laugh from Nangong Ling.

His power and status have been completely stripped away. Even if he manages to escape the martial arts figures who are pursuing him under the guise of eliminating evil, he will live like a stray dog.

This ending was truly more painful for him than death.

He remains here only because a sense of discontent drives him.

"Why are you here?" Nangong Ling questioned Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang didn't know how to answer, but he vaguely understood what the other party meant.

Since Nangong Ling believes that Fang Yunhua is the one who harmed her so badly, then he should be the one to see her off on her final journey. Even if it's out of some ulterior motive, seeing the powerful leader of the Beggars' Sect brought down to earth with his own eyes should be the most satisfying way to get revenge.

In Chu Liuxiang's speculation, the two sides were undoubtedly enemies.

Fang Yunhua did not appear.

This is a form of invisible contempt.

This made Nangong Ling even more upset.

He had initially thought that since the other party had gone to such lengths to set up this trap for him, he should consider them an opponent. But now it seemed as if the amorous young master had merely flicked his wrist, killing an ant with a mere flick of his wrist.

"I have a question," Chu Liuxiang said again.

But Nangong Ling merely glanced at him sideways, her expression a mixture of self-mockery and mockery of Chu Liuxiang, her pawn.

The two should have been friends, and even though they faced each other in life and death in the original work, they still maintained some dignity. But now, Nangong Ling only wants to vent her resentment, and the best target is the man in front of her.

What makes you think I'll answer?

"Because you are about to lose everything, and for someone who has nothing left to lose, there is no longer anything to worry about."

These words silenced Nangong Ling, who had wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks.

"I want you to say another name yourself."

"what name?"

"Who has been secretly driving you to do all this?"

Nangong Ling did not answer. He raised his head and looked at Chu Liuxiang with a fierce gaze.

The next second, his body seemed not to have moved at all, but he had already flown up from the chair. Chu Liuxiang's body also seemed not to have moved, but he also flew up.

But once in the air, Chu Liuxiang was still sitting, the huge and heavy rosewood chair seemingly glued to his body.

The two met in mid-air, and the sound of their palms striking each other rang out seven times in a flash. In that fleeting moment, they exchanged seven blows.

After seven rounds of applause, the two figures suddenly came together and then separated again.

Chu Liuxiang carried the chair and floated down to the ground, landing precisely where it had been, almost without missing a beat. The heavy wooden chair landed without making a sound.

Nangong Ling flipped in mid-air and landed back on the chair, causing the sturdy chair to creak under his weight. His face turned ashen.

Although neither of them was injured, the difference in skill between them had undoubtedly been determined.

"You want to kill me?" It should have been a stern question, but when Chu Liuxiang said it, there was an unconcealable sadness in his voice.

He still cherished the friendship they had once shared. He's always been such a soft-hearted person.

However, Nangong Ling was hard-hearted; he even found it hard to believe that there was such a large gap in strength between himself and Chu Liuxiang.

According to the original storyline, he could have taken Su Rongrong hostage again, and then Yidianhong, who had been utterly incompetent throughout, would have had a brief moment of glory here. But Nangong Ling doesn't have that opportunity now.

When Chu Liuxiang first went to the Beggars' Sect's forbidden area and then returned to Jinan Prefecture, he had already told all the current clues to Su Rongrong, who had obtained important information from the Divine Water Palace. She was certain that Nangong Ling and Wuhua must be the masterminds behind the scenes.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to become a fatal flaw that drags Chu Liuxiang down.

"Come with me." Nangong Ling stood up somewhat dejectedly.

Chu Liuxiang didn't move an inch, but just quietly looked at the other person.

"Don't you want to know who he is?"

Nangong Ling grinned, a smile full of malice.

It was obvious that the place he was taking Chu Liuxiang to was very dangerous, and Chu Liuxiang was someone who had a particular fondness for such things.

The two then used their lightness skills to fly across a distance.

Ahead, the water was shrouded in mist; we had arrived at the shore of Daming Lake once more.

Under the moonlight, only one painted boat was still lit. Looking through the open window, one could see that candles were burning brightly inside the cabin, and a table of food and wine had already been set out.

Nangong Ling and Chu Liuxiang entered the cabin. With a push of the long pole, they steered the painted boat into the center of the lake. The water mist all around was like rain, and the painted boat swayed with the waves. In the boundless and silent world, there was a mysterious and romantic atmosphere that made people feel intoxicated, yet also made them feel a chill down their spines.

Chu Liuxiang sat down in one of the more comfortable chairs in the cabin, but he didn't feel comfortable at all.

His passive skill activated, releasing the aromas of wine, vegetables, and willows in the cool evening breeze, but what Chu Liuxiang breathed in was a strong killing intent!
But what deadly danger is hidden on this deserted painted boat?
"Was it him who asked you to bring me here? What if it had been Fang Yunhua who appeared earlier?"

Chu Liuxiang's initiative in asking the question ignited a fierce killing intent in Nangong Ling's eyes. He now looked somewhat half-mad. After chuckling and revealing his gleaming white teeth, he answered.

"Same here. Whether it's you or Fang Yunhua, he told me that when I can't solve it myself, I'll bring you here and let him solve it himself."

"Will his arrival solve the problem?"

Nangong Ling smiled but remained silent.

Chu Liuxiang was puzzled by Nangong Ling's inexplicable confidence, but then he noticed that she had actually relaxed and poured herself two glasses of wine.

"Since you want to see him, just wait patiently. We have some good wine and food to entertain you."

After pouring the wine, Nangong Ling drank a glass in one gulp and began to sway her head in a drunken frenzy.

He kept muttering to himself.

"You will die, Fang Yunhua will die, and I will lose everything. Hehehehe, it's not a complete loss."

Then he suddenly stared at Chu Liuxiang, who hadn't made any move.

"You still don't trust that these two cups of wine were poured from the same pot? I'll drink this one for you!"

He indeed drank the wine in front of Chu Liuxiang.

Then he even mocked Chu Liuxiang.

"You don't understand his capabilities. If he wanted to kill you, why would he resort to such a low method as poison? Besides, it wouldn't take just one cup to poison the dignified General Chu Xiang."

Before she could even utter the word "wine," Nangong Ling's expression suddenly changed drastically, and every vein on her arms, forehead, and neck bulged out!

Chu Liuxiang rushed over and examined Nangong Ling's eyes, but he couldn't see any signs of poisoning. However, Nangong Ling's body was burning hotter than fire!

"It's Heavenly Divine Water!"
