The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 20 No Flowers
People today still don't understand the true value of a T0-level naval warrior.

Give the simplest example.

The original work mentioned that under normal circumstances, Chu Liuxiang could not withstand seven moves from the Water Mother Yin Ji.

However, when he fought the jellyfish Yin Ji in the water, he was able to hold her tightly, forcing her to suffocate and be on the verge of defeat. Of course, this battle also involved deeper environmental and psychological warfare, and he fully utilized all available advantages.

And this truly cemented Chu Liuxiang's title as the invincible sea king!
It is now quite clear that Chu Liuxiang, who was still hesitant about how to avoid getting hurt by Yidianhong during their land battle, was able to successfully defeat his opponent.

After luring it into the lake, a series of subtle moves, just like catching a chick, immobilized it by striking its pressure points and throwing it onto the shore.

At this point, he also needs to pay attention to the pianist.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fang, who was not present but was busy fluttering her little butterfly wings, also caused a great shift in the plot here!
Chu Liuxiang initially thought Wuhua's arrival was just a coincidence. He even believed that the music Wuhua played drove Yidianhong mad because of her sorrow, and he took the initiative to ask if Wuhua had encountered something difficult recently.

Wu Hua, one of the two great masters of pretentiousness in the world, calmly changed the subject and joked that Chu Liuxiang was always soaking wet whenever he saw him.

Taking advantage of this shift in topic, Chu Liuxiang stopped focusing on the other person's playing of music and began to ask Wuhua if he had seen Yidianhong and a powerful ninja.

At this moment, Wu Hua's eyes lit up, because his chance to show off had arrived!
He directly submerged his seven-stringed zither in the water, claiming that after hearing the name Yidianhong, the zither became tainted with blood and could no longer produce ethereal sounds.

After saying that, she washed her hands in the lake water, took out a snow-white silk handkerchief, and dried the water droplets.

However, trying to impress another show-off wasn't so easy. Chu Liuxiang then added that the lake water might not be clean, and there might be some strange things in it.

Logically speaking, when faced with such a sarcastic and argumentative person, it's difficult for most people to continue the conversation.

But the King of Pretenders lived up to his name, and Wuhua immediately brought up a Zen philosophy.

Humans can pollute water, but water cannot pollute humans; flowing to and fro, its essence remains pure.

Even Chu Liuxiang was completely stunned by his words. As the saying goes, there is always someone better, and in order to maintain his composure, it was not appropriate for him to continue arguing. The topic then shifted to the second mysterious person who used ninjutsu.

Even in this situation, Chu Liuxiang never doubted Wuhua, and even thought that Wuhua's appearance here was a coincidence.

They would never believe that Wuhua was the master of Japanese ninjutsu.

At this point, the other party also took the opportunity to ramble on and on, pointing the relevant clues to figures in the martial arts world of southern Fujian, because twenty years ago, an Iga ninja crossed the sea and lived in the southern Fujian area for three years.

This completely severed Chu Liuxiang's trail. In the end, he returned to Kuaiyi Hall and learned from Leng Qiuhun that Tianyingzi had suddenly appeared. His senior brother was also one of the four floating corpses at sea, besides the disciples of Shenshui Palace, named Lingjiuzi.

This also allowed them to continue the thread about the broken correspondence.

At this moment, with Fang Yunhua's seemingly joking reminder, and because Su Rongrong, after careful analysis, also felt that Wuhua herself had all the conditions to commit the crime.

This made Chu Liuxiang, who kept saying he trusted his friends, even more suspicious of Wuhua, who happened to be there.

It was also the seed of doubt that began to sprout in his heart that made this Fragrant General remain silent and stare at the other party after arriving at the small boat where Wu Hua was.

Wu Hua had already noticed Chu Liuxiang's appearance, but the other party's silence made him feel that things were getting out of control. After all, based on his understanding of the other party, the two, as close friends, should have been very enthusiastic when they met.

But Chu Liuxiang stared at him thoughtfully, which made Wuhua break out in a cold sweat as he pretended to remain calm and continued playing the zither.

Now he can no longer act like he did in the original storyline, and he can't pretend to be superior and complain that a little red has polluted his zither.

After the song ended, he feigned surprise as if he had just noticed Chu Liuxiang, then smiled and said, "Brother Chu, do you always appear soaking wet whenever you see this humble monk?"

"It's all thanks to the master."

This statement is clearly sarcastic.

Faced with Wu Hua's puzzled look, Chu Liuxiang made no attempt to explain further.

He was suspicious of Wuhua because his appearance this time was too coincidental. Whether it was prompting Yidianhong to kill him, or he was the one who was skilled in Japanese ninjutsu, or he was an accomplice who intercepted him to facilitate the other party's escape.

The suspicion has been completely ruled out.

However, there was one thing he still couldn't understand: Wu Hua's purpose. Why did he steal the Heavenly One Divine Water, and why did he kill those four martial arts masters who seemed to have nothing to do with him?

However, the appearance of the flowerless one is too deceptive.

Especially under the starlight and moonlight, her eyes shone like bright stars, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her face was as beautiful as a young girl's, and her gentle expression and elegant demeanor were unmatched by any other woman in the world.

His entire body appeared spotless, as if he had just descended from the heavens. Even if Tang Sanzang were to be reborn or Xuanzang were to be reincarnated, he would probably not be any different.

How could such a person do something as heinous as tricking an innocent disciple into getting pregnant at the Divine Water Palace just to get her to help him steal the Heavenly Divine Water? What's even more despicable is that he brainwashed her afterwards, causing her and her unborn child to die together.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't understand it.

He has always adhered to one principle: he would rather be fooled ten thousand times than wrong an innocent person.

Before figuring out the other party's purpose in doing all this, Wuhua was only a suspect.

Wu Hua was even more confused now. Was the other party's sarcastic reply still the Chu Liuxiang he knew?

"Did I ruin something good for Brother Chu?"

Wu Hua looked at Chu Liuxiang with an innocent expression. Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath and, knowing that now was not the time to alert the enemy, shook his head and said.

"I apologize. I encountered a bit of trouble just now, and it was because I lost control of my emotions that I affected you, Master."

"That's it."

In order to maintain his high-class image and the aloof temperament he always exudes, Wuhua is not suited to doing things like asking questions out of curiosity, especially after he realizes that the other party has no intention of continuing the topic.

Chu Liuxiang is now considering leaving.

Because once you start to truly suspect Wuhua, you will realize how terrifying he is. It is impossible to get any clues from him. In that case, it is better to go back to Leng Qiuhun and find another way out.

But Wu Hua was unwilling to let the other party leave at this time.

Chu Liuxiang's unusual behavior, especially the recent rumor circulating in the martial arts world, made him very suspicious.

Just before Chu Liuxiang was about to take his leave, he spoke first.

"Brother Chu, the rumors circulating in the martial arts world that you went to Mount Hua to steal treasure and fought with that amorous young master, are probably not true."
