The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 63 Before Heading South
Male Lady.

He was a lecherous scoundrel whose infamy was so terrible that even the seven notorious villains from over a decade ago combined couldn't compare to him.

Fang Yunhua, who was the one who turned the pages of the book, knew that the rumors circulating in the martial arts world that he had been killed by Shui Mu Yin Ji were actually a play staged by the two of them. The reason was that Shui Mu Yin Ji had taken a liking to Xiong Niangzi and had even given birth to a daughter for him.

It's Situ Jing, the one who helped Wu Hua steal the Heavenly Divine Water and got pregnant.

Situ Jing wasn't so naive. Her relationship with Wu Hua was a mutual one. Wu Hua wanted to use her to obtain the Heavenly Divine Water, and Situ Jing also wanted to use Wu Hua's reputation in the martial arts world to kill the Water Mother Yin Ji when the time was right.

She never knew that Shui Mu Yin Ji was her biological mother, because this was a scandal for the entire Shen Shui Palace and would also easily implicate Xiong Niang Zi, her infamous biological father.

Once this matter is exposed, even with the formidable martial prowess of Shui Mu Yin Ji, the deception she orchestrated to make Xiong Niangzi fake her death will thoroughly enrage the entire martial arts world, potentially leading to a situation where the seven major sects besiege Shenshui Palace.

Because that female demon used her superb disguise skills to commit far too many truly heinous crimes.

This led Situ Jing, who knew nothing about this, to mistakenly believe, after some wild speculation, that her mother was killed by the Water Mother Yin Ji, and thus she wanted to use Wu Hua to take revenge.

When she was finally found out she was pregnant, she seemed to be dying for Wuhua, but in reality, she thought she had no hope of revenge and was doomed to die, so she decisively ended her own life.

This one died a truly hasty death.

As for finding out Xiong Niangzi's whereabouts, all you need to do is find Gentleman Sword Huang Luzhi. He is Xiong Niangzi's best friend and a true gentleman in the martial arts world. Before fighting with others, he will explain in detail the moves he is going to use.

However, in Fang Yunhua's opinion, it was rather ridiculous that the other party would get involved with someone as wicked as Xiong Niangzi.

The worldview of Gu Long's martial arts world is that no matter how many mistakes a person makes, as long as they turn back, they have a chance to start over. For example, Tie Zhongtang, who is known as the great hero of the Central Plains, always gives the worst people a chance, no matter how evil they are.

This is precisely Chu Liuxiang's consistent style of doing things. (This was explicitly mentioned in the original novel, *The Legend of the Bat*.)
As for how many families this villain has broken apart, how many innocent people have died because of him, and how many people have hated him to the bone so much that they died in despair, that is not a question these heroes should care about.

Therefore, Fang Yunhua could really understand why those masters all had some serious illnesses to varying degrees. After all, that's the prevailing trend; you can't completely prevent people from having the chance to go crazy.

"Disguise masks and the like are no longer needed; these bone-shrinking techniques have become very useful."

After tossing the four manuals aside, Fang Yunhua began rubbing his cheeks. After awakening his memories, he underwent two noticeable changes.

First, his comprehension improved a second time, and then his control over his body reached a level that ordinary people could not understand.

For example, when he first started cultivating the Mingyu Gong, he was able to keenly perceive that the internal energy he cultivated after switching to this method had the characteristic of nourishing the body's functions and keeping it at its peak.

Similarly, after understanding some of the techniques of bone reduction, he can also make subtle hand-rubbing adjustments to his face.

Immediately, Shangguan Cangxing watched as Fang Yunhua rubbed his face repeatedly, transforming it into a shape that was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Although his eyes, nose, and mouth were still the same, his chin was narrower, his cheekbones were more prominent, and his cheek muscles had contracted. After these changes to his overall face shape, his appearance was significantly different from the image of the young sect leader he knew.

"I also need to grow a couple of small mustaches." Fang Yunhua nodded in satisfaction after looking at his appearance in the mirror.

Then he simply adjusted it back to its original state. "How did you do that?" Shangguan Cangxing looked on in astonishment.

"That's probably what talent is, or rather, that's the difference between you and a genius."

Seeing Shangguan start rolling his eyes again, Fang Yunhua laughed and then told him that he and Yuan Suiyun would go to Yunnan the next day to visit Xue Yiren.

"If you want to go, you can come along."

After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Cangxing shook his head. He felt that he should take this opportunity to keep a closer eye on the preparations of the Western Regions team.

Moreover, the thought of sparring with the great master Shi Guanyin made him so excited that he couldn't sleep. He was afraid that this excitement would make him unable to resist fighting Xue Yiren when he saw him, thus ruining Fang Yunhua's important plans.

After expressing his thoughts, Fang Yunhua gave the other person a look that said, "Shangguan, you are very reliable," and then prepared to return to his residence.

The elders have already been notified, and with the junior sister in charge, the Huashan Sect has basically nothing to do next. They just need to digest the results of this period of time.

When another senior sister approached Fang Yunhua, saying she wanted to cooperate with Master Kumei to further expand the influence of the Huashan Sect, Fang Yunhua thought for a moment and then made a decision.

Thinking of Gao Yanan's selfless trust and strong support, and the fact that if the trip to the Western Regions were to be divided into teams, he would need someone of his own to keep an eye on things to avoid any internal problems, and also to make it easier to meet up with the two elders from his own sect.

Fang Yunhua told Gao Yanan about his next plan.

Hunt down the Stone Guanyin!
Stone Guanyin is Li Qi!
We welcome back two senior disciples who had been missing for over a decade!

Open up trade routes to the Western Regions!
And the imperial court has full support!
These messages caught Gao Yanan off guard, but she acted out of trust in Fang Yunhua.

She could only nod blankly.

She then fell silent for a long time, before suddenly asking a question.

"Does Master know?"

Fang Yunhua shook his head. His teammates had all chosen Yuan Suiyun. If they chose Master Kumei as well, wouldn't that be like throwing lambs to the slaughter? Besides, Hua Zhenzhen was in charge of internal affairs and Master Kumei was in charge of external affairs on the Huashan Sect side. That was enough to digest the gains of the past few days.

"I understand." Gao Yanan didn't ask any further questions. She nodded, indicating that she would carry out the other party's orders diligently.

"Go find Shangguan later and select ten reliable disciples to accompany us. Also, keep an eye on the initial preparations for the team. The imperial court will basically take care of everything, since they value this plan more than we do."

"Ok."

Fang Yunhua didn't mention the possibility of meeting Hu Tiehua, but he had already secretly decided that if his senior sister was still so persistent, he would break both of that drunkard's legs and tie him up and take him back to Mount Hua.

When Gao Yanan gets tired of him, then we'll make that drunkard get lost!
He doesn't have any bias towards the so-called main characters in the original storyline. He always prioritizes family over reason, which is his consistent principle. Even though he usually refers to her as his "scumbag senior sister," he can't tolerate his own people being kept on hold by this drunkard.
