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

The man lying on the ground, barely alive, was not particularly tall, but he looked as imposing as a mountain. However, his breath was weak, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Check-in!"

"Sign in with Lu Zhongyuan and gain three years of internal energy."

Jiang Fengyue was slightly moved. She helped Lu Zhongyuan up and channeled her inner energy into his body.

Only then did Tie Pinggu truly see Jiang Yulang's ugly face. She asked weakly, "Did Jiang Yulang hurt you?"

Lu Zhongyuan said with a wry smile, "This kid is incredibly cunning. I only stepped in to save him because I saw him being harassed by Wei Wuya's men, but who knew..."

Jiang Fengyue interrupted him at this moment, coldly saying, "If you want to live, speak less."

The internal energy was continuously being channeled into Lu Zhongyuan's body, actually helping him repair his broken meridians.

Lu Zhongyuan smiled sadly and said, "I know my own injuries; no one can save me now."

Unaware of the changes within his body, he continued, "I only ask one thing of you: give my body to a man named Xiaoyuer and tell him that I cannot keep my promise."

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "They've already arrived."

Two more people came out after hearing the commotion. One looked gentle and refined, while the other had a more street-smart air about him and a hideous scar on his face, though the scar did not affect his appearance.

"Check-in!"

"Signing in as Hua Wuque is successful, and you have obtained the martial art 'Transferring Flowers and Jade'."

"Sign in to Jiang Xiaoyu successfully and obtain the Five Ultimate Martial Arts Skills".

Jiang Fengyue thought to himself that the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique could be very useful, and he had long wanted to experience this magical martial art.

Upon seeing the two, Lu Zhongyuan gave a bitter smile and said, "You've come."

Hua Wuque rushed over, hissing, "This junior is late!"

At this moment, someone hid far away. It was Tie Pinggu. When she saw Hua Wuque, she was so frightened that she lost her soul. However, Hua Wuque did not notice her, nor did Xiaoyuer. Their eyes were all focused on Lu Zhongyuan.

Lu Zhongyuan smiled sadly and said, "It's not too late. I have no regrets that I was able to meet you all before."

Little Fish gripped his hand tightly and cried out, "You won't die! You won't die! No one can kill you!"

Jiang Fengyue was still silently transmitting her skills. If Xiaoyuer were more observant, she would have noticed a faint warm current flowing through Lu Zhongyuan's palm.

Wang Lianhua was indeed a peerless genius. The medical technique he invented was something Jiang Fengyue had never heard of before. He used internal force to heal people, and it was actually the collision and compression of internal force that repaired the damaged meridians and parts of the human body.

Lu Zhongyuan said with a wry smile, "Young hero, there's no need to waste your energy. My meridians are all broken; even a god couldn't save me..."

Only then did Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer notice Jiang Fengyue, who had been transferring her skills to Lu Zhongyuan.

Hua Wuque cried out, "Who did this? Who had the heart to do such a thing!"

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Jiang Yulang."

Hua Wuque said angrily, "It was him! I will definitely kill him to avenge Hero Yan."

Little Fish stared at Lu Zhongyuan, then suddenly shouted, "There's no need for him to kill me! Jiang Yulang will definitely die by my hand! No matter who you are, I will avenge you!"

Hua Wuque was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "No matter who you are, senior, who else could you be but Hero Yan?"

Lu Zhongyuan burst into laughter.

He looked at Xiaoyuer and smiled, "I thought I could fool everyone, but I couldn't fool you after all."

Hua Wuque frowned and asked, "Senior, are you really not the great hero Yan Nantian?"

Lu Zhongyuan said, "Yan Nantian is my best friend in life."

Hua Wuque asked in a broken voice, "Then who are you, senior?"

Lu Zhongyuan said, "My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Zhongyuan."

Little Fish exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Zhongyuan! So you are the 'Great Hero of the Southern Sky,' Lu Zhongyuan!"

Lu Zhongyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hua Wuque shouted, "Senior!"

Lu Zhongyuan was panting heavily. He felt as light as a feather and extremely comfortable. He thought it was a final burst of energy before death and felt that he was about to leave this world.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Stand up and walk a few steps to take a look."

Lu Zhongyuan's injuries have been mostly healed, because Jiang Fengyue hates seeing such tragic scenes the most.

Lu Zhongyuan stood up, jumped a few times, circulated his internal energy, and found that he felt comfortable all over and did not look seriously injured at all.

He exclaimed in surprise, "A miracle doctor! It's truly a miracle doctor descended to earth! I feel completely fine now."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Xiaoyuer tightly grasped Jiang Fengyue's hand and said, "Thank you..."

Jiang Fengyue waved his hand to interrupt Xiaoyuer; he, too, disliked hearing the word "thank you" uttered.

Hua Wuque asked, "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

Jiang Fengyue kicked the corpse of the toothless man on the ground.

He slowly said, "I have a blood feud with Wei Wuyuan, that dead rat in the rat hole of Turtle Mountain. I came here to hunt down his disciples, and I just happened to run into Senior Lu Zhongyuan."

He was new to the area, so this was the only explanation he could offer, especially since he genuinely intended to meet Wei Wuyuan.

Little Fish exclaimed, "I was just about to head to Turtle Mountain myself. Why don't you come with me? If the opportunity arises, I can also repay your kindness in saving Senior Lu."

Jiang Fengyue pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

Hua Wuque sighed, "It's a pity I can't accompany you to Turtle Mountain."

Little Fish exclaimed, "You're not going? Why?"

Hua Wuque said slowly, "I have important things to do..."

Little Fish paused, then exclaimed, "We only have seventy-five days left, and you still won't spend time with me?"

Hua Wuque gazed into the distance and slowly said, "If what I'm doing succeeds, we'll be friends for far more than seventy-five days."

Jiang Fengyue thought to himself, "No wonder we were born of the same mother. Even if we overcome many obstacles, we can still become good brothers who are connected by blood."

Little Fish shouted, "Do you want to go back to the Flower Palace?"

Hua Wuque said with a wry smile, "Since you already know, why force me to say it?"

Little Fish said, "Are you trying to beg them not to kill us?"

Hua Wuque sighed, "I just want to go back and get some answers."

Little Fish laughed loudly, "Do you think they'll tell you?"

Hua Wuque said, "At least I should ask around."

Little Fish stopped laughing and said slowly, "I know you're like me; once you've made up your mind to do something, no one can stop you."

He continued, "Our tragic fates have destined us to never be friends. If you don't kill me in the future, I might kill you instead."

The two remained silent for a long time.

Hua Wuque suddenly said, "Jiang Xiaoyu, have you already succumbed to fate?"

Little Fish was startled at first, then burst into laughter, saying, "Go ahead, no matter what, we'll still be able to meet again, and that's enough to make me happy just thinking about it."

Jiang Fengyue desperately wanted to reveal the truth, but in his memory, if Hua Wuque hadn't returned to Yihua Palace, it would have been in grave danger.

Besides, words are not enough to prove anything. If Jiang Fengyue were to inexplicably claim that the two of them were brothers, it would be hard for anyone to believe it.

Some words can only be spoken by those who orchestrate conspiracies.
