The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 32 Everyone has their own agenda
Chu Liuxiang looked at Wuhua in silence, giving him a puzzled look with his head tilted.

That look in his eyes seemed to say, "What does the Huashan Sect have to do with me anyway?"

Nangong Ling frowned, seemingly hearing about this for the first time.

Wu Hua continued speaking to himself.

"The influence of the Huashan Sect was mainly in Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi. Later, because the Amorous Young Master opened up a safe trade route to the capital, the Huashan Sect attracted many of its former branches to return."

Now, Master Kumei has officially announced Fang Yunhua as the young sect leader.

Generally speaking, the successor to the position of leader of a major sect will use certain achievements to prove their abilities.

For example, Brother Nangong once traveled thousands of miles to the Great Desert to hunt down Lu Qianpo, the Bloodthirsty Mad Saber.

So, do you think the recent actions of the Huashan Sect are related to him? But coincidentally, the Beggars' Sect has been embroiled in some unsubstantiated accusations these past few days, and Brother Nangong has been criticized by people in the martial arts world. I also found out that the source of these rumors originated in Shaanxi.

Everything seems too coincidental.

"Does the master mean that this young hero Fang is plotting against the Beggars' Sect?"

Chu Liuxiang admitted that he had sensed Fang Yunhua's deep thoughts during their conversation, but it would be strange if Fang Yunhua, who was able to turn the tide for the Huashan Sect which was in decline, was not also deep in thought.

However, now, with Wu Hua's deliberate reminder, he realized that he might have unintentionally become the other party's accomplice or helper.

As for whether he was an accomplice or an accomplice, it depends on whether Chu Liuxiang sees the course of events as evil or righteous.

“Brother Chu, you’ve been investigating something lately, haven’t you? And now you’ve gotten into some trouble with the Beggars’ Sect.” Wu Hua looked at Chu Liuxiang intently. “I don’t want you to become a tool for others to use.”

The other party's words have made it clear that the public opinion storm targeting Nangong Ling was caused by Fang Yunhua, and that he made adjustments to the investigation based on Chu Liuxiang's progress to some extent.

Or rather, he used Chu Liuxiang to attract hatred in front, so that he could stir up trouble in the dark without restraint.

Nangong Ling, only realizing the situation later, finally understood the whole story.

"You mean, the other party wants to step on the Beggars' Sect, or even me, to establish the prestige of the young master of the Huashan Sect?"

"It's all just the master's conjecture. This might just be a coincidence." Chu Liuxiang interrupted the other's speculation in time. The Huashan Sect has only just started to move. As for what they might do, it's possible that they're just celebrating Fang Yunhua's appointment as the young sect leader.

Such unfounded speculation proves nothing.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the relationship between the Huashan Sect and the Beggars' Sect was quite good, so they shouldn't have betrayed their comrades who were also righteous.

While no one has died on Fang Yunhua's side yet, it is Wuhua who is taking lives one after another, which is the case that Chu Liuxiang is more concerned about.

But Nangong Ling wasn't as optimistic as Chu Liuxiang.

He knew better than anyone else about the underhanded schemes he had made against the Huashan Sect. In addition, his mother, Shi Guanyin, had a blood feud with the Huashan Sect that resulted in the extermination of their entire clan, and this hatred had become a two-way street.

If Fang Yunhua were to uncover even the slightest clue, then no amount of action against him would be excessive.

Nangong Ling's situation is somewhat different from Wuhua's. The latter clearly has a mother complex, to the point that he deeply identifies himself as a member of the Huangshan family. This makes him particularly concerned about Fang Yunhua, and even with Chu Liuxiang, whom he needs to deal with seriously, he doesn't let his guard down regarding that amorous young master and the Huashan Sect.

However, Nangong Ling didn't have such a deep sense of empathy. He had a stronger brother complex towards Wuhua, to the point that in the original storyline, when Wuhua poisoned him, he still looked incredulous before he died.

This also led to his efforts towards the Huashan Sect being merely a matter of accepting a task and diligently carrying it out, after which he would no longer pay attention to the follow-up situation.

But now it's different.

He was unlucky enough to become the target of the Huashan Sect first, and now he's being relentlessly entangled by this despicable Thief King. If he doesn't take some countermeasures now, even if Chu Liuxiang fulfills his promise to clarify things in time, the other party might have even more troublesome second, third, and fourth moves.
He then decided to send some people to Huashan Sect to monitor their movements and respond accordingly.

He had already decided on the team leader.

Let Bai Yu the Beggar go. He was originally very confident that he could handle this person, but his hatred for Ren Ci was too deep, and he was the person most likely to involve Qiu Lingsu in this hatred. In order to protect Qiu Lingsu and also to protect his own reputation, he could not let him go anymore.

Wu Hua, sitting on the table, also fell silent, as if her words just now were merely casual remarks.

But when he looked at Chu Liuxiang, there was still a deep smile in his eyes.

He wasn't sure how good the relationship between Chu Liuxiang and Fang Yunhua was, but he was certain that if Fang Yunhua made any excessive moves, it would inevitably attract the attention of the "Fragrant General."

If they can't kill Chu Liuxiang, that troublemaker, they can send him to the enemy to annoy them; this can be considered a backup plan arranged in advance.

Then his gaze fell on the pensive Nangong Ling, whom he had already decided to give up on.

Because the other side is in a dead end.

Qiu Lingsu is undoubtedly an excellent point of attack. The best approach would be to deal with her decisively. However, under the influence of public opinion recently, Nangong Ling not only needs Chu Liuxiang to endorse her, but will also have to let this Madam Ren out for a stroll from time to time.

It is quite unwise for the murderer to personally protect such a huge hidden danger, in Wuhua's opinion.

But there was nothing he could do. His foolish younger brother valued the power and status of the Beggars' Sect leader almost above everything else. He would try to gamble as long as there was a sliver of opportunity. For example, in the original storyline, even though he knew that Chu Liuxiang had thoroughly investigated his mistakes, he still managed to do so.

He chose to fight Chu Liuxiang instead of running away.

He knew that if he retired, the career he had worked so hard for over twenty years and the position of leader of the number one gang in the world would slip away from him, and he could not bear to become an ordinary person.

Of the three present, only Wuhua probably saw through Fang Yunhua's sinister intentions behind this public opinion. He lifted Nangong Ling up and slowly began to tighten the rope. The one controlling the rope and constantly pulling on it was Chu Liuxiang, who was completely unaware of all this.

He can easily remove a major problem without getting his hands dirty.

The unusual behavior of this Fragrant General also stems from his previous trip to Mount Hua. Continuing this game is actually not very meaningful for Wu Hua.

Even Chu Liuxiang, whom he considered the most important opponent in the world, was nothing more than a pawn in Chu Liuxiang's hands.

At this moment, the three people at the table each had their own thoughts. After arranging a time with Nangong Ling to visit Qiu Lingsu, Chu Liuxiang hastily ended this dinner, which he found to be the most boring one he had ever eaten.
