The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 121 The Master of Straight Talk

Shi Guanyin stretched out her slender hand and wiped her face. A pale yellow mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, peeled off like snakeskin.

Under the light, her face had changed in a strange way.

The King of Kucha thought his beloved concubine was an unparalleled beauty, but the face that appeared before him was a thousand times more beautiful than his wife.

Of course, the most surprised person was Hu Tiehua.

Because of the recent series of events, especially the sudden appearance of Gao Yanan and the shock brought about by the reality that Lu Xiaofeng is Fang Yunhua, he almost forgot about that enchanting and dreamlike night a few days ago.

So when this memory resurfaced, his heart was somewhat restless. But when he met those beautiful eyes, he suddenly found that the other person had become as sharp as an eagle, as vicious as a wolf, and as cold as a knife.

This made Hu Tiehua shiver involuntarily, and he couldn't utter a single word.

“If it weren’t for the agreement with him, I would really like to kill you right now.” Shi Guanyin’s gaze toward Hu Tiehua was cold.

For no apparent reason, Xiao Hu became the focus of hatred.

The recent mess had left Hu Tiehua bewildered and annoyed. Ignoring the other person's cold, piercing gaze, he slammed his hand on the table and said...

"What agreements or not, it's all because of you! You offered yourself up in bed! And you still want to kill me! Weren't you having a good time that night too!"

At this point, Shi Guanyin, who had been subtly revealing some anger, suddenly smiled disdainfully.

"Happiness? Heh, you give me a so-so feeling."

general!
generally!!

generally!!!
These two simple words seemed to echo endlessly in Hu Tiehua's ears. Even the Pipa Princess, who had been looking down, looked up at Hu Tiehua with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

This caused Hu Tiehua to relapse into his reckless ways!

"Who are you calling ordinary! How am I ordinary! What's so ordinary about me! I'll show you right now whether Grandpa Hu is truly ordinary or not!"

Ji Bingyan gave Fang Yunhua a look, and seeing the other party nod slightly, he was ready.

The two men's role was to draw the attention and hatred of Shi Guanyin, thereby ensuring that those outside could quietly carry out a comprehensive purge of Shi Guanyin's followers, so as not to alert her. This was an operation that could only be initiated after Shi Guanyin entered the tent.

Ji Bingyan had prepared several harsh words to attract the other party's attention.

But now that he sees Xiao Hu, he truly realizes the difference in talent!

A single casual remark from the other party had already drawn Shi Guanyin's attention to that person, completely ignoring everyone else, including the noise outside. The hatred she had drawn was just too damn strong.

At this moment, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan looked at each other. Although they had some conflicts because of Gao Yanan, as longtime friends, this did not affect their fighting teamwork.

The next instant, the two figures intertwined like ghosts. No one could have imagined that Hu Tiehua, who was still arguing that he was extraordinary, would suddenly launch an attack. Similarly, no one could have predicted that Ji Bingyan would carry out a coordinated assassination at the same time!

Both of them harbored resentment, and in this storyline, they were passively reduced to Fang Yunhua's tools, especially Hu Tiehua, who became a stepping stone for Fang to form a cooperative alliance with the King of Kucha.

This made both Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua want to show off.

Despite the rumors about how extraordinary Shi Guanyin was, the two martial artists were very confident in their own abilities.

Especially in the current combat environment, with an absolute first-mover advantage and a sudden, perfectly coordinated attack, Fang Yunhua might not even need to prepare any follow-up plans!
The two of them will now become the main characters in this highly anticipated event!
The judge's pen hidden in Ji Bingyan's sleeve has transformed into seven cold stars, piercing straight into the major acupoints of the stone Guanyin's body!

Hu Tiehua moved like a butterfly, his fists whipping up her clothes as he unleashed his seventy-two moves of "Butterfly Through Flowers," creating a flurry of punches that blocked all her escape routes!
With swift strokes of the brush and the force of their fists, the two coordinated perfectly, their attacks relentlessly closing in like a tidal wave.

Princess Pipa's eyes widened instinctively. Her martial arts skills weren't bad, and she could naturally tell that with such coordinated attacks, none of the experts she knew would be able to escape this perfect combined strike. (Xiao Fang was a powerful figure beyond her comprehension!)

Green Beard silently retreated to the inner wall of the tent and gripped the sword at his waist. He was very wary of Shi Guanyin, but he sincerely believed that no matter how strong she was, she couldn't possibly dodge such an exquisite combined killing technique!
But the next second, his eyes widened.

With a slight flick of her wrist, Shi Guanyin caused the tip of the judge's pen to freeze three inches from her throat, as if it had struck an invisible wall of energy, and was then easily deflected to the side.

Hu Tiehua's fist was also dodged by the opponent's even more elusive and swift movements. When the force of the punch missed its mark, he almost choked and fell headfirst into the sand on the ground.

"Boring."

Shi Guanyin lightly tapped her fingertip again, and Ji Bingyan felt a numbness in her wrist. The judge's pen flew out of her hand and stuck into a tent pillar several feet away. She herself was hit by a heavy blow from an unknown source and fell backward to the ground.

The palm print, so fast it was almost invisible, suddenly struck Hu Tiehua's chest. This caused him, already off-balance, to fly backward like a kite with a broken string, his back slamming hard into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan struggled to their feet, their expressions filled with disbelief, as if they couldn't understand why they had been so exhausted after just this initial exchange of blows.

"How can it be?!"

Green Beard was shocked. He was certain that if the two of them joined forces, he would surely die. But this exquisite combined attack was like two three-year-old children challenging a strongman.

It was as if a casual tap or a palm strike could easily defeat the opponent.

The difference in combat power was so great that he couldn't understand it at all.

And with that ghostly movement and lightness skill, if the opponent is not focused on fighting, even if my eight hundred soldiers surround and kill him, he will easily pass through them and then leave silently and gracefully.

"So this is what a true master is like."

Princess Pipa was still somewhat shaken. Fortunately, she didn't act impulsively to seek revenge, otherwise she would probably have been a weakling who would have been easily killed with a single blow.

This made her somewhat worried, so she grasped Fang Yunhua's hand.

Fang Yunhua remained calm throughout the entire scene.

The two who personally stepped forward and were brutally beaten were even more shocked by Shi Guanyin's kung fu.

Hu Tiehua finally couldn't help but ask:

What kind of martial art are you using?

Shi Guanyin is someone who understands stage effects very well, or rather, someone who enjoys showing off; otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words that required the audience to appreciate her accomplishing great things.

So naturally, she wouldn't let go of this opportunity to be carried in a sedan chair.

"I might as well tell you, this trick is called 'What Men Can't See'."

Hu Tiehua was taken aback: "Men can't be seen? What kind of martial art is that?"

While she was asking questions, Ji Bingyan secretly glanced at Fang Yunhua and saw that he remained calm, which reassured her.

Now he finally understood Chu Liuxiang's complicated feelings of both love and anger towards this young sect leader.

The anger stems from the fact that the other person is treating them like a tool in a very unreasonable way. No one wants to accept this kind of invisible manipulation, yet the other person's actions are subtle and pervasive, as if everything was their own decision. As for love...

That's because being used as a tool is unpleasant, but nothing is worse than losing your life.

The other party's presence is like a layer of protection.

No matter how thrilling the process may be, it will never lead to the worst possible outcome.

On stage right now, Shi Guanyin and Hu Tiehua are still playing the straight man and the pretentious one.

A hint of smugness shone deep in Shi Guanyin's eyes.

"This can't be considered a powerful martial art, but no matter who it is, as long as they are a man, they will die if they encounter this move, so men should never see it."

As a naturally gifted straight man, even though Hu Tiehua no longer dwells on the so-called ordinary or extraordinary questions, every question he asks still manages to grab Shi Guanyin's attention.

"What kind of martial art is this?"

"Under the whole world, what other school or sect could create such a move?"
Take the two most famous martial arts sects in the world today as an example. Shaolin's martial arts are too strong and clumsy, like a big bowl of braised pork belly. Although it is very effective, it can only satisfy the common people. Those who truly understand the taste will never like such greasy food.

The martial arts of the Wudang School are too bland, like a plate of bland vegetables and tofu without salt. They may look appealing, but after one bite, they lose their taste and become unappetizing, don't you think?

Shi Guanyin's remarks belittled the martial arts of the Shaolin and Wudang sects, which are revered by martial arts students all over the world, to nothing. Her words were unusually arrogant, but coming from her mouth, they also gave people a sense of conviction.

In particular, the metaphors she used were truly ingenious. When Hu Tiehua thought about the martial arts of the Shaolin and Wudang schools and then about what she said, he could hardly help but laugh.

This made Shi Guanyin, who was still maintaining a haughty demeanor on the surface but was inwardly overjoyed by being carried in the sedan chair time and time again, take another look at Hu Tiehua.

Even though the other person was indeed just average, their ability to strike up a conversation and keep up with the flow was a rare skill.

She genuinely wanted to accept him, so that she would always have a helpful assistant by her side, which would make her grand scheme of showing off even smoother.

Well, it’s decided.

If we castrate him then, Chu Liuxiang shouldn't be so jealous anymore.

Shi Guanyin was very confident in how to control men. After all, the only one she hadn't managed to control was Huangfu Gao, who was known as Shi Tuo and was the leader of the Seven Swords of Mount Hua.

In her view, although Chu Liuxiang was a feast worth looking forward to, since he had already been served, he would eventually be devoured.

On the contrary, Hu Tiehua, who would later become a eunuch servant, might be able to stay with her for longer.

Then Shi Guanyin glanced at Hu Tiehua again, wanting to test the limits of the other party's talent.

"Although their martial arts skills are terrible, they insist on giving them pretty and nice-sounding names, such as splitting mountains and subduing dragons and tigers."

In fact, based on the moves they used, they should have been called chopping wood and subduing cats and dogs.

But the name I used, though not pleasant to the ear, is the real deal. If I say it's something men can't stand, then it's something men absolutely can't stand.

Hu Tiehua was completely unaware that he had already been chosen as Eunuch Hu in Shi Guanyin's mind, and he was still earnestly asking questions in accordance with what she said.

"So, you created this move yourself?"

"To create such a move, one must not only be well-versed in the martial arts of all schools and sects, but also have a deep understanding of the weaknesses of men. Who else but me could create such a move?"

After saying this, Shi Guanyin felt a surge of pleasure that went straight to the top of her head.

That's right, she's that awesome. If it weren't for that old pervert from the Divine Water Palace, Shi Guanyin would truly be invincible!
At this moment, Hu Tiehua had fallen silent.

He raised his eyes and kept glancing at Fang Yunhua. After such a round of banter, he realized even more how powerful Shi Guanyin was. The strength that the other party had just shown was less than one-tenth of what he had shown. So how should he break this round?

At this moment, Shi Guanyin, who had been arrogant and aloof throughout, suddenly frowned.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?" Hu Tiehua asked instinctively.

“Your expressions are off.” Shi Guanyin finally broke free from Hu Tiehua’s ‘provocation’ and began to seriously examine the audience once again.

There's not much to say about Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan.

Eunuch Hu is quite capable, while the other is a complete waste of space.

Although Qing Huzi's expression showed some surprise, he did not show the unease and anxiety she had expected. In fact, she had anticipated that, given his impulsive nature, he should have stepped forward and questioned her.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Shi Guanyin asked, looking at the green-bearded man.

Green Beard blinked, pointing at himself with a puzzled expression.

"Should I say anything?"

"Although I only specifically mentioned killing the King of Kucha, it's clear that I won't let you, my comrade who mobilized troops to assist him, go either. Since you knew death was imminent, you shouldn't have said anything, for example..."

"General Qing has eight hundred brothers outside," Hu Tiehua couldn't help but interject again.

However, this time Shi Guanyin was not successfully 'provoked' again. She looked at Qing Huzi with a serious expression.

"Or have you already accepted reality?"

"I didn't." Green Beard looked completely innocent, wondering why the other person had suddenly been eyeing him.

This made him keep glancing at Fang Yunhua, but no big show was planned for him, and he couldn't act.

At this moment, noticing the movement of her gaze, Shi Guanyin also began to seriously examine the man named Lu Xiaofeng.

He has a good temperament, and in terms of looks, he's only considered above average in Shi Guanyin's eyes, who's seen plenty of handsome men. Moreover, Shi Guanyin, who's tired of playing with handsome men, now prefers top-quality "little cakes" like Chu Liuxiang, who have a star aura and are also handsome.

The other party was not famous and his appearance was only considered average, so he was obviously not in her consideration.

The only thing to be concerned about is that the other party didn't know what method they used to win the heart of Princess Pipa. As for this young girl who would eventually die, Shi Guanyin never took her seriously.

However, after carefully examining Fang Yunhua, he finally noticed something amiss.

Because the other party was too calm, so calm that it seemed as if they didn't take them seriously at all.

"who are you?"
