The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 8 Reveals the Truth Behind the Fake Death Ahead of Schedule
Shi Guanyin, whose original name was Li Qi, came from the Huangshan family and was their only surviving member. More than 20 years ago, the Huashan Sect and the Huangshan family had a great war. After many masters of Huashan successfully wiped out the family, they left behind a potential threat because the extermination was not thorough.

Although Shi Guanyin escaped death, she was unable to establish herself in the Central Plains, so she traveled east to Japan.

There, she met Tianfeng Shisilang, who was deeply in love with her, and even had two children with him. But after she learned a mysterious martial art, she abandoned them, returned to the Central Plains, killed the Seven Swords of Mount Hua, and avenged the blood feud of the Huangshan family.

This is also the origin of the decline of the Huashan Sect.

However, Fang Yunhua's appearance has given the Huashan Sect another opportunity to grow stronger. As their mortal enemy, Shi Guanyin will naturally not allow the Huashan Sect to develop its power without worry.

For example, when the reform plan was first implemented, Fang Yunhua noticed some obstacles. The branch disciples who were developing trade routes outside were attacked by mysterious people, and the outer sect members who were responsible for escorting goods through the Huashan Sect also encountered several robbery attacks.

This also led to the Huashan Sect's expansion not going smoothly until Fang Yunhua borrowed the influence of Xue Yiren, a relative by marriage from Wanfu Wanshou Garden, Zhibei Villa, and Shi Family Village, which brought this decline to a halt.

Meanwhile, Fang Yunhua, whose memories had not yet fully awakened, was also investigating who this hidden enemy was.

Now we have a direct answer.

Because of her fear of the Water Mother Yin Ji, Shi Guanyin dared not easily venture into the Central Plains, and her henchmen could not act too recklessly.

As for her good sons, Wuhua, he always focused on cultivating his reputation at Shaolin. He only dared to do dirty work in secret. As for the series of actions to curb the development of Huashan Sect, which required a large number of people, he could only be considered an accomplice.

The only person left who could contribute the most was Shi Guanyin's other son, Nangong Ling, who has now taken over as the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

This person's position as leader is not very secure either, after all, they have gone so far as to use a notorious figure like Bai Yu Mo Gai in desperation. As the number one gang in the world, the Beggars' Sect has many scoundrels who can be easily manipulated by him to do some shady things.

After confirming who was behind the trouble, Fang Yunhua breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the plot, Nangong Ling, Wuhua, and Shi Guanyin will all fall into the hands of this Jade-Faced Yama.

They're all going to die!

Fang Yunhua now needs to consider how to use his intelligence advantage to maximize the interests of the Huashan Sect and himself by taking advantage of the truth about the death. This can also be seen as compensation for the economic losses caused by the constant attacks he has suffered in recent years.

“Brother Fang, you don’t understand Wuhua. He would never do such a thing.”

While Fang Yunhua was deep in thought, Chu Liuxiang mistakenly thought that Fang Yunhua was dissatisfied with his decision to exclude Wuhua from the suspicion.

In his heart, Fang Yunhua was his new friend, and Wuhua was his old friend. The three of them were also so fortunate to be listed among the top three dream lovers of the many female heroes in the martial arts world.

He couldn't even imagine how elegant and beautiful it would be if the three of them could drink tea, admire the moon, and listen to music together on his treasure ship.

Therefore, he began to seriously explain the various reasons why Wu Hua could not possibly have committed the crime.

Fang Yunhua's response was to nod and smile, while inwardly cursing. Didn't he know that the pregnant Situ Jing was Wu Hua's doing? His identity as a monk was a strong indication that he could enter and leave the Divine Water Palace.

But it's no use saying it now. Chu Liuxiang will definitely believe his friend until he sees truly reliable evidence.

However, there is something that can be said at this time, which can also be considered as Fang Yunhua finding some amusement in Chu Liuxiang.

"I naturally believe what Xiang Shuai said, but let's make some assumptions. Now that I am Wu Hua, and it has been concluded that I am the murderer, I would like to know what you would do as a friend of this wonderful monk?"

This time, Chu Liuxiang didn't continue arguing, saying that even if Li Wuhua were to be accused, he could not possibly be the murderer. He guessed that Fang Yunhua wanted to play a new game with him and was happy to cooperate.

After a moment of silence, his expression turned serious.

Because truly embracing this hypothetical scenario would be very distressing for him, but even so, the criminal's crimes still need to be judged. "I will let those who can punish him handle the matter impartially."

This is also Chu Liuxiang's answer in the original work. As a member of the martial arts world, choosing to send the other party to the authorities is, in a sense, quite unconventional.

“If I were Wuhua, I would never accept this outcome; I would rather die by your hand.”

Upon hearing Fang Yunhua's answer, Chu Liuxiang shook his head. He had never killed anyone with his own hands, much less would he kill a friend who had made a mistake.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Fang Yunhua reveal a smile that he found quite wicked.

“I am Wuhua, so I naturally know Xiang Shuai very well. Xiang Shuai still cherishes our friendship. Although he insists on dealing with me fairly, there is something I can use because he is a gentleman.”

"What is it?" Chu Liuxiang asked curiously.

“When you are unable to kill me and only think about leaving it to the law to be judged, I can choose to commit suicide.”

"what?"

"As long as I die, given my past friendship with Xiang Shuai, he will surely respect my last pride and give me a dignified end so that my debts can be settled upon my death."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Liuxiang nodded.

Then he heard Fang Yunhua change the subject again.

"It was because I knew Xiang Shuai well enough that I was able to successfully prepare this fake death escape. There are many ways in this world to make someone fall into a state of fake death. Given Xiang Shuai's character, he would never allow my corpse to be desecrated. So this is my only chance to survive."

This time, Chu Liuxiang remained silent for a long, long time, until the tea he cherished in front of him had gone cold, before he let out a heavy sigh.

Everyone knows that Xiang Shuai is a clever man.

If he still doesn't understand now that the hypothetical game Fang Yunhua is playing is more than just a game, then he has failed to live up to the praise he has received from the martial arts world.

However, due to the gap in intelligence, he could not have imagined that the other party was directly pointing out a development trend that he would inevitably encounter in the future.

As for the current situation where the connection between the four people among the five floating corpses, apart from the disciple of the Divine Water Palace, is still unclear.

He is still a long, long way from the truth of this case, and naturally wouldn't make any further connections.

However, at that moment, he remembered one thing deeply.

That means that if someone commits suicide in front of him in the future, he must first check the condition of the body to determine whether it is a real death or a fake death.

This hypothetical topic made Chu Liuxiang feel somewhat heavy-hearted, so he promptly steered the conversation to the next point of curiosity.

"It is said that Senior Xue Yiren has collected many famous swords in the world, and Brother Fang is probably the only known person who can take one from his collection."

He was teasing Chu Liuxiang, thinking about how Wuhua would fake his death again and be exposed by Chu Liuxiang, causing his coolness to plummet. He found it amusing.

Upon hearing Chu Liuxiang's words, he felt so heavy-hearted that he could once again achieve a stalemate with the handsome Chu Liuxiang before him.
