Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

The light boat drifted to the shore, and the person on board looked very much like Xiong Niangzi. When Xiong Niangzi saw this person, she sighed deeply and said, "So it was you."

Gong Nanyan sneered, "That's right, it's me. I knew you were coming, and I've been waiting here for a long time."

The woman sighed, "I didn't want to come, but I had no choice but to."

Gong Nanyan said sternly, "Have you forgotten the poisonous oath you swore back then?"

The woman said sadly, "I haven't forgotten. I just want to see my daughter's grave."

Gong Nanyan smiled and said, "That's just a patch of yellow earth, what's so interesting about it?"

She added, "Is this your true nature? No wonder she said I look like you, even more like you than your daughter."

The woman raised her head and asked, "Does she often mention me in front of you?"

Gong Nanyan laughed and said, "Yes, that's why I'm going to kill you, and also the two helpers you brought."

Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang were behind Xiong Niangzi, wearing hoods and keeping their heads down. Gong Nanyan did not recognize Chu Liuxiang at first.

The woman asked in a hoarse voice, "We have no grudge against each other, why do you want to kill me?"

Gong Nanyan's voice was filled with resentment as she said, "To be honest, I've wanted to kill you for a long time. I can't stand her mentioning you in front of me, saying how much I resemble you. I go crazy whenever she mentions you. Now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me."

The woman exclaimed in surprise, "Are you jealous? Could it be that you've fallen in love with her?"

Gong Nanyan shouted, "Why can't I fall in love with her? Why can't I?"

Jiang Fengyue sighed inwardly. In a place like the Divine Water Palace, it might not be surprising for a woman to fall in love with another woman.

"Check-in!"

"Successfully checked in Gong Nanyan and obtained information on the location of Situ Jing's grave."

As the voice spoke, Gong Nanyan had already flown ashore and struck with a palm.

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "But I neither stole a woman from Miss Gong, nor did I have any grudge against her, so why would she want to kill me?"

Gong Nanyan exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Liuxiang, what are you doing here?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "You wrongly accused me of stealing the 'Heavenly One Divine Water,' and you wrongly accused me of being the murderer of Situ Jing. I must find out why."

Gong Nanyan burst into wild laughter, completely unlike her former icy demeanor. She said, "Since you're going to die here anyway, I might as well tell you. The one who stole the 'Heavenly One Divine Water' and drove Situ Jing to suicide was that evil monk Wuhua. Do you think we don't know anything about it?"

Chu Liuxiang exclaimed in surprise, "Since you know it's him, why did you still come to kill me?"

Gong Nanyan laughed loudly, "Because the secret in this matter must not be known to anyone, we must find a scapegoat."

Chu Liuxiang said, "So you came to me?"

The others were stunned, because they never imagined that the Divine Water Palace would do such a vicious thing.

Gong Nanyan sneered, "We can only turn to you because only you would do such a thing. If we contacted anyone else, how would the people of the martial world believe us?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "So you're determined to kill me no matter what."

Gong Nanyan snorted coldly and was about to attack Chu Liuxiang when suddenly a sword flew out and pierced her heart.

Xiong Niangzi was still standing there in a daze. Chu Liuxiang never killed anyone. The one who killed was naturally Jiang Fengyue.

Chu Liuxiang stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "You killed her?"

Jiang Fengyue said coldly, "Even if I don't kill her, she'll still try to kill us."

Chu Liuxiang remained silent, because Jiang Fengyue was right. Some people would still try every means to kill you even if you let them go.

Jiang Fengyue patted Xiong Niangzi, who was still in a daze, and sighed, "Now that she has told you the truth herself, you should believe us completely, right?"

The Xiong Niangzi said sadly, "I really didn't expect Gong Nanyan to be this kind of person. Your matter is over, so you should go back the way you came. There's no need for you to come with me to the Divine Water Palace to die."

Jiang Fengyue said, "Now that I'm here, how can I not go and meet this Water Mother Yin Ji?"

Chu Liuxiang murmured, "I also want to see her, so that I won't die a foolish death."

Xiong Niangzi had already stepped onto the small boat that Gong Nanyan had come in, and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Fengyue also rushed up, and just then, Chu Liuxiang said, "Please wait for me, you two."

After saying this, Chu Liuxiang started digging a pit with his bare hands. His internal strength was not weak, and he quickly dug a fairly large pit, just big enough to fit a person.

Chu Liuxiang picked up Gong Nanyan's body from the side, placed it in the pit, and then covered it with some soil before boarding the ship.

As the boat drifted away with the current, Jiang Fengyue shook his head and sighed. A person like Chu Liuxiang would not allow Gong Nanyan's body to be left to rot in the wilderness. He looked at the small mound of earth, under which lay Gong Nanyan.

He quickly turned his head away, just as Gong Nanyan had said, it was just a patch of yellow earth, nothing to see.

As night deepened, the thick fog thinned somewhat, and the stars began to rise. The scenery along the stream was breathtakingly beautiful, and as the small boat slowly sailed into the Divine Water Palace, one felt even more intoxicated.

Jiang Fengyue had never seen or imagined that one day he would see such a scene. This place did not seem like a valley in the human world, but rather like an exquisite painting.

The small boat was moored on the shore. The valley was very peaceful. It was late at night. The birds in the valley had fallen asleep. The disciples of Shenshui Palace had also gone to bed early. No lights were lit in the pavilions, towers, bamboo fences, or thatched cottages.

Chu Liuxiang said, "This valley is so big, where are we going to find Situ Jing's grave?"

The female lead was also at a loss for what to do.

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "Why don't you come with me? I've always had good luck."

Jiang Fengyue, relying on the information in her mind, led the two along the shore. At the end of the lake was a waterfall, which cascaded down from the sky and shone like silver under the starlight.

There is no better place in the valley than this, and not far from the waterfall, there is a lonely grave.

The woman hurried over and stood there for a long time before finally kneeling down, hugging the tombstone and crying.

Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang slowly approached and finally saw the words engraved on the tombstone: "Tomb of Situ Jing, disciple of Shenshui Palace".

Xiong Niangzi sat beside Situ Jing's grave and began to talk to herself. This father seemed to have a lot to say to his daughter, but could his daughter still hear him?

Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang silently walked to the side, not listening to what Xiong Niangzi was saying, nor making any sound, remaining silent. At this time, no one should disturb Xiong Niangzi.

For Xiong Niangzi, such a night did not seem too long. The sky was faintly white, and it seemed that dawn was about to break.

Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang stood up after being exposed to the cold wind all night, intending to call Xiong Niangzi away.

From a distance, a white figure appeared beside Situ Jing's grave, seemingly out of nowhere.
