The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

The Final Question in Chapter 46

Seeing Wuhua die with his eyes wide open, Chu Liuxiang felt very conflicted.

But he didn't say anything, because he knew all too well that everyone present wanted to see this outcome.

Needless to say, Shangguan Cangxing is clearly in cahoots with Fang Yunhua. Wu Hua's blunt rebuttal and mockery just now has made this seemingly petty but highly skilled master resentful.

Despite appearing as a good person now, Dai Duxing was a notorious ruthless character before joining the Beggars' Sect. He has no magnanimity whatsoever towards the mastermind behind the Beggars' Sect's current predicament.

And Master Tiannan's words.
“Benefactor Fang, I’ll take this body with me.” Master Tiannan, who had remained silent throughout, stepped forward and carried Wuhua’s body. “Please remember your promise to me regarding the Southern Shaolin Temple.”

whats the matter?
Just as Chu Liuxiang was deep in thought, he saw Fang Yunhua cast a friendly glance at him.

"I gave that thing to him, after all, it is closely related to the matter he was investigating (referring to Wuhua's seduction of the Shenshui Palace disciple). If he doesn't find out everything in advance, it might end up like this time."

And he was the one who just burned that notebook.

The black ash on the ground had long been swept away by the fight between Wuhua and Fang Yunhua.

After a moment of silence, Master Tiannan nodded and turned his gaze to Chu Liuxiang, who sensed something was wrong.

"Benefactor Chu, may I speak with you in private?"

When Chu Liuxiang returned with a wry smile and touched his nose, Master Tiannan had already taken Wuhua's body back to the Southern Shaolin Temple.

"Are you deliberately trying to drag me into this?" Chu Liuxiang was amused and annoyed by Fang Yunhua once again.

It is clear that the contents of that notebook are currently known only to a few high-ranking members of the Southern Shaolin Temple, Fang Yunhua, and Chu Liuxiang. As a scandal that could exert some influence over the Southern Shaolin Temple, it also means that anyone who knows about it, except for those from the Southern Shaolin Temple, will bear some risks.

To put it bluntly, the Southern Shaolin Temple both respects Fang and Chu, but privately worries that they will spread the news. Therefore, Master Tiannan made some very significant promises to Chu Liuxiang, and the old Chu, who is well-versed in human relationships, could only nod in agreement.

"This is compensation for you," Fang Yunhua said innocently.

"You're going to compensate me with the promises made by the Southern Shaolin Temple?" Chu Liuxiang laughed in anger again.

"So, did you accept it?"

Chu Liuxiang remained silent.

Could he refuse in this situation? But he had nothing to regret, because if he hadn't read that notebook, he truly wouldn't have known the true nature of his old friend.

"Tell me, what did he promise you?"

"Some conveniences, some assistance, and most importantly, becoming a lifelong friend of the Southern Shaolin Temple."

Chu Liuxiang didn't hide anything, and he knew that Fang Yunhua would definitely get more.

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Fang Yunhua secretly curled his lip, because such verbal talk was only good for bullying pseudo-rogue cultivators like Chu Liuxiang who were unwilling to reveal their sect background.

Based on the contents of this notebook, he directly obtained three bottles of Lesser Rejuvenation Pills and one Greater Rejuvenation Pill from the Southern Shaolin Temple. These were excellent items that could assist in cultivation and enhance one's power.

Moreover, the Great Rejuvenation Pill, which can only be refined once every twenty years, can heal most injuries.

After returning to the Huashan Sect, he planned to have Ku Mei give him a thorough examination, and then he would begin taking medicine and cultivating.

At this moment, the group of four is heading towards Putian City.

Throughout the journey, Dai Duxing remained silent. He indeed had nothing to say to the others, even though he was well aware that the Huashan Sect's reasons for harassing their Beggar Clan were justified. But as a human being, he was driven by self-interest, and his stance remained firmly on the side of the Beggar Clan.

So naturally, when facing Fang Yunhua, the mastermind behind the mastermind, it's hard not to show some emotion.

His attitude towards Chu Liuxiang was similar. Regardless of whether Chu Liuxiang was used by Fang Yunhua, he had indeed become the best accomplice along the way. This was unlike the original plot, where the matter was raised high and then put down lightly.

The Beggars' Sect was now crippled, which made him even more upset. However, after witnessing Fang Yunhua's current strength, his agitated heart calmed down, and he only wanted to go to Ying Wanli as soon as possible to clarify the situation and stop the storm. Meanwhile, some of Dai Duxing's situation naturally came to Chu Liuxiang's attention.

He began to whisper something to Fang Yunhua.

"You've really gotten me into serious trouble this time."

"Don't pin all the blame on me. Think about it yourself. Did you actively seek out this case? If you've investigated it, isn't this the same result in the end? Unless you can let Nangong Ling and Wuhua continue to stir up trouble, then look for your own problems."

Chu Liuxiang remained silent. He was a reasonable person, so after hearing Fang Yunhua's words and thinking about it again, he did feel that it was a bit excessive to blame Fang Yunhua for everything.

After all, Fang Yunhua was also seeking revenge for his sect.

"Brother Fang, I apologize, I misspoke."

Shangguan Cangxing, who had been silently watching the two whispering, rolled his eyes. He was surprised to find that Chu Liuxiang was indeed the same as rumored, a true gentleman who didn't have double standards and was willing to admit his mistakes.

This is extremely rare in the martial arts world.

"By the way, Brother Fang, there's something else I need to tell you."

"explain."

Fang Yunhua was extremely tolerant of Chu Liuxiang, after all, he was his good friend.

"It concerns the situation of those four people. Nangong Ling originally wanted to get money from Ximen Qian, Zuo Youzheng, Lingjiuzi, and Zhamuhe, but according to Madam Ren, after hearing Wuhua's suggestion, he directly and decisively instigated the four to kill each other."

But it seems he didn't get a single penny in the end. Why is that?

At this moment, Fang Yunhua had to admire Chu Liuxiang's keen insight. He did know the answer, because Wuhua really wanted to kill the Desert King Jamukha. He and Shi Guanyin had already laid out plans in the Western Regions and were preparing to take over the Kingdom of Kucha directly.

This matter is actually one of the important bargaining chips that Fang Yunhua will have next.

He didn't want to be perfunctory with Chu Liuxiang, nor did he want to deceive him, so he gave him a big smile.

This provoked Chu Liuxiang so much that he shrank back several steps.

In Lao Chu's eyes, Fang Yunhua's smile was full of malice. He remembered the first time he saw this smile was when Fang Yunhua suggested playing the little game "If I were Wuhua".

How pathetic I was, so naive to actually think it was just a game.

"Okay! I understand! I won't ask about it anymore, and don't come up with any more weird prophecy games!"

Seeing Fang Yunhua's hesitant expression, Chu Liuxiang quickly stopped him from continuing.

But when everyone had reached the outskirts of the city, Chu Liuxiang, unable to contain his curiosity, began to ask questions again.

How did you guess that Wuhua would eventually scheme against the Huashan Sect?

"Because he only has two points of attack: either me or the Huashan Sect." Fang Yunhua answered this question without hesitation. When he first met Shangguan Cangxing at that teahouse, he had already thought that as the Huashan Sect made more moves, Wuhua would guess his secret plans.

Although he did not regard him as his lifelong rival, he would never underestimate his wisdom and ability.

However, Wu Hua still had too little influence to draw upon, and he was completely unable to escape the invisible cage of the martial arts world.

"So how did you deal with it? Now, even if you travel by both land and water, it would take at least ten days to get back to Huashan from Putian. Is that enough time?"

"Guess~"
