The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 48 The Imaginary Enemy Appears

The term "old friend" itself has a very complex composition.

Especially when used between forces, it is even more necessary to weigh the value of the transaction.

Undoubtedly, as a force that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Huashan Sect must have many old friends. However, Fang Yunhua can confirm one thing: when he joined the Huashan Sect, which was at its most declining point, he never saw any of his old friends come to lend a helping hand.

The reason they are now standing up to strongly support the Huashan Sect is clearly because the Huashan Sect has recently made a big splash, directly crushing the Beggars' Sect and leaving them unable to retaliate, ultimately shrinking back in the Northeast with their tails between their legs.

As the saying goes, "When you're rich, even distant relatives come to visit; when you're poor, no one cares about you in the bustling city." That's exactly the situation.

The Huashan Sect treated these old friends with courtesy and respect, making arrangements to entertain them. They couldn't possibly expect someone to come and help them just because they'd become successful, and then expect someone to be rude and distant.

As for Yuan Suiyun, and the Wuzheng Manor behind him.

In the original work, it was indeed mentioned that she had a long-standing friendship with the Huashan Sect. Otherwise, how could a reclusive woman like Master Kumei have been seduced by the other party?

Yuan Suiyun no longer has that opportunity, after all, Ku Mei is still out there working hard on her career, she doesn't have time to talk about love with him.

And it is clear that Yuan Suiyun's target is no longer the withered plum blossom.

As an ambitious, aspiring, and idealistic man, his Bat Island had already opened for business, but it was not yet as famous as it would be four years later, which made him particularly concerned about some secret information in the martial arts world.

One of the rumors is that...

The Huashan Sect's apparent revenge against Nangong Ling was actually a ploy to expand its own power base by taking advantage of the Beggars' Sect.

All of this was the scheme of that amorous young master, who even used the famous Chu Xiangshuai as a weapon to directly drive the Beggar Clan leader, Nangong Ling, into a desperate situation.

This is clearly Wu Hua, that restless guy even in death, who wantonly ruined Fang Yunhua's reputation while he was alive. He intentionally cultivated Fang Yunhua into an ambitious figure, just waiting for his persona to cause even more trouble later.

Sure enough, this piqued Yuan Suiyun's interest first.

Because the conspiracy theory that Wuhua deliberately projects to the outside world as a romantic young master is just the dark side of the Bat Prince in his heart!
In addition, although Fang Yunhua is a few years younger than Yuan Suiyun, the two are still in the same age group, which makes him look forward to meeting the other party for the first time.

The recent escalating tensions within the Huashan Sect provided him with a perfect excuse.

Moreover, although Wuzheng Manor, where it is located, is not involved in Jianghu affairs, it is situated west of Taiyuan and is also in Jin, one of the three areas within the expansion range of Huashan Sect.

The situation on the Huashan Sect's side is also closely related to the future development of Wuzheng Manor, so he needs to personally go there.

When it comes to entertaining Yuan Suiyun, the Huashan Sect naturally takes a more serious approach compared to other old friends.

Therefore, Hua Zhenzhen, who is now recognized as the third most powerful person in the Huashan Sect, was brought in.

Hua Zhenzhen had a very good first impression of Yuan Suiyun. He was elegant and refined. If she hadn't known beforehand that he was blind, she would never have thought of him in that way.

What made Hua Zhenzhen even more fond of him was that the other party had a very high opinion of Fang Yunhua. In fact, recently in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan, apart from some emerging trends of the Huashan Sect's threat theory, there was more discussion about the Amorous Young Master, even though only a few people originally knew that Fang Yunhua was the one who secretly planned everything.

But for some reason, this matter was spread far and wide. (Wu Hua! Sticking out his dog head!)
This led people in the martial arts world to label Fang Yunhua as a cunning and ruthless individual.

This greatly displeased Hua Zhenzhen, because in her mind, her junior brother was always perfect. Besides, it was all the Beggars' Sect and those two brothers who were in the wrong first. In this day and age, can't we even defend and counterattack? Does being a good person mean we have to be pointed at by bad people all the time?
She had a lot of pent-up frustration in her heart, but she didn't vent it in front of Yuan Suiyun.

She appears weak and easily deceived, but in reality, she is difficult to approach. This led Yuan Suiyun to give up after trying a few more times, even though she had originally planned to uncover some secrets about Fang Yunhua from her.

In the following days, he also met with other disciples and high-ranking members of the Huashan Sect.

Aside from confirming that Fang Yunhua, as the young sect leader of the Huashan Sect, possessed an absurdly high level of prestige, he had not found out anything about the details of this plan.

What he was unaware of was that after prioritizing Hua Zhenzhen, a seemingly easy-going young girl, and making some excessive attempts to warn her, she had already alerted the higher-ups of the Huashan Sect.

In reality, Hua Zhenzhen's ability to deceive is far superior to Yuan Suiyun's. At first glance, she makes people feel that the other party is as soft as a ball and easy to bully, making people subconsciously lose their vigilance towards her.

But all those who underestimate her will suffer a great loss.

Time passes quickly like flowing water.

Before Fang Yunhua returned to the Huashan Sect, some rumors spread even faster!
That is, Chu Liuxiang, together with Ying Wanli, the number one constable in the world, officially concluded the matter of the Beggars' Sect in the name of the government.

There was no concealment regarding the relationship between Wuhua, Nangong Ling, and Tianfeng Shisilang. Everything was attributed to a long-planned conspiracy by Xiao Rizi, for which Ren Ci, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, had already paid the price with his life.

Following this announcement, Master Tianfeng officially stepped down as the head of the Southern Shaolin Temple, and his junior brother, Master Tiannan, took over as the new head of the Southern Shaolin Temple.

At the same time, it was made clear to the martial arts world that Wuhua felt deeply guilty and had hanged himself in the Southern Shaolin Temple.

Afterwards, both sects expressed their gratitude to Fang Yunhua, the young master of the Huashan Sect, and Chu Liuxiang for the numerous clues they provided and their selfless contributions during the process of uncovering this huge conspiracy.

Elder Dai Duxing of the Beggars' Sect was also forced into the position and had to temporarily assume the role of leader. He promised, with his own reputation, that he would strengthen the moral management of the sect members and would never allow someone like the White Jade Demon Beggar to appear again.

Suddenly, the campaign against the Beggars' Gang, which was universally condemned, lost all its fervor. As the major powers tacitly withdrew and began to quietly digest their gains, the campaign was quickly forgotten.

The Beggars' Sect also began to exert its full force, launching a strong counterattack against those small and medium-sized forces that were still not stopping their actions.

This also made the entire martial arts world aware of why the Beggars' Sect was the number one sect in the world. Even though this incident weakened it, it still ranked among the top sects in the martial arts world.

Just as the Beggars' Sect started punching and kicking a bunch of clueless noobs.

Fang Yunhua also returned to the Huashan Sect, which he had always been loyal to!
