The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 39 Disinterest
"The person he wants to get rid of is you!"

The roars in her ears could not awaken the self-deceiving Nangong Ling.

He believed that once you died, all the clues would be cut off again. He believed that once you died, he could still get away with it. He believed that no one else knew who he was except you!

Nangong Ling's body trembled, and her gaze shifted to Chu Liuxiang.

He managed to squeeze out three words.

"What does he think?"

"Yes, that's just his opinion. Wuhua arrogantly thinks he's done everything perfectly."

The only connection that can be traced back to Qiu Lingsu is Nangong Ling. Even though Wuhua is still given the title of a mysterious person, this mysterious person could be anyone in the world.

He could not possibly know that, at the very beginning of the case, Chu Liuxiang had learned from Fang Yunhua a theory that suggested Fang Yunhua was the mastermind behind it all.

Moreover, as the case progressed, this inference was gradually confirmed as the truth.

Even so, Chu Liuxiang has not completely lost all clues.

From Qiu Lingsu's words, we learn that Tianfeng Shisilang, who fought Ren Ci, had already been injured. From this, we can deduce that someone in the Southern martial arts world had already severely injured Tianfeng Shisilang. Then, we can expand our thinking from the perspective that the mastermind behind the scenes is Wuhua.

It's easy to conclude that Wuhua's master, Master Tianfeng, possessed this ability. Further speculation suggests that the infant Tianfeng Shisilang entrusted to Renci for upbringing was not the first.

The first baby was with Master Tianfeng.

Because Wu Hua and Nangong Ling are brothers, they can cooperate so seamlessly. And because Wu Hua and Nangong Ling are brothers, even now that Nangong Ling has lost everything, he is unwilling to betray them.

But because the two were brothers, Chu Liuxiang was even more wary of Wuhua's ruthlessness!
At this moment, Nangong Ling's whole body was swollen, her skin had begun to crack, and even her blood vessels had burst. Blood began to seep from the corners of her eyes, her nose, and her fingernails!

When he heard Chu Liuxiang mention the name Wuhua, a flicker of panic and worry crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an overwhelming sense of confidence.

Even the corners of his cracked mouth revealed a bitter smile.

"You can't beat him! You will die! You definitely will!!!"

These words almost made Master Chu laugh in anger.

"Nangong Ling! Do you know what you're saying?! Wu Hua has already poisoned you with the Heavenly Divine Water! He wants you dead! All that talk about settling things with me and Fang Yunhua is bullshit, he wants to kill you!"

Even the usually gentle and polite Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but start swearing.

He was unaware that there was such a thing as a brother complex in this world. In their eyes, their brothers were perfect, so what if Chu Liuxiang's martial arts skills far surpassed their own? So what if Fang Yunhua could scheme to make them lose everything?

His pigeons are the most powerful!
Nangong Ling firmly believed, just like in the original work, when he was also poisoned by Wuhua with the Heavenly Divine Water, but before he died, he stubbornly refused to say the other party's name, and kept muttering that he did not believe that his Gege would be so cruel to him.

No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Especially after Nangong Ling lost everything, he willingly immersed himself in the beautiful dream he had woven.

With the expectation that he would soon see Chu Liuxiang and Fang Yunhua in hell, he actually managed to smile under the torment of the Heavenly Divine Water until he finally died.

Chu Liuxiang sat blankly in the chair, having been there for an unknown amount of time.

He could not forgive Nangong Ling for everything she had done, but he still considered her a friend in his heart. However, in the end, this friend used all her strength to offer him the most vicious curse.

This psychological blow far surpassed the sensory stimulation of witnessing Wuhua remotely poisoning Nangong Ling.

This left him feeling somewhat disheartened.

Looking at Nangong Ling's corpse, he couldn't help but wonder if Fang Yunhua had foreseen this scene, otherwise why hadn't he come in person?

This was incomprehensible to Chu Liuxiang, but it greatly shocked him.

He understood that he was already on the chessboard and wouldn't be able to leave so easily. Or rather, his opponent had calculated his personality perfectly, like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder who insisted on tearing off every hangnail from their finger. Now that the case had truly reached its final stage, if Chu Liuxiang were to back down now, he would likely suffer for the rest of his life.

"Brother Fang, you're really ruthless!"

Fortunately, unlike in the original story, he didn't have to wander around the Minnan area before confirming the clue of Master Tianfeng, and in the end, he only managed to locate the other party due to luck.

Now he can go directly to the Shaolin Temple in Putian. As for this case, which he feels is the most frustrating and exhausting case he has ever investigated, he only hopes to end it as soon as possible!
then
Go up Mount Hua!!!
At this point, he needs the help of the mount rental NPC.

Chu Liuxiang: May I borrow your BMW?
Black Pearl: Why should I?!
Chu Liuxiang: Nangong Ling is dead; her body is inside a painted boat on Daming Lake.

Black Pearl: Here's the horse!

It has to be said that this precious horse saved Chu Liuxiang a lot of time. More importantly, it has an automatic return function. Just find a place to tie it up, and it will bite through the rope and happily go to find its master, Black Pearl.

It's very convenient and worry-free.

Upon arriving at the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Chu Liuxiang did not rush to pay a visit. Instead, he first sat for a while in a teahouse in the nearby city.

He also spotted a familiar figure among the tea drinkers.

"White-robed Divine Ear, Constable Ying?"

Ying Wanli offered to share a table with him.

Logically speaking, one was a soldier and the other a thief, so the atmosphere after they met shouldn't have been very good. In fact, the thief should have felt more guilty and nervous.

But the title of the dignified Thief King is not something that some lowly thief like the Saint of Thieves can easily claim.

In their conversation, Chu Liuxiang's aura was actually more imposing.

"Is Constable Ying waiting for me? Is it for the Jade Beauty? I have already given her to the Amorous Young Master."

"I know that this matter has already spread throughout the capital."

"That's because...he sent you?"

"he?"

Ying Wanli looked at Chu Liuxiang with a puzzled expression, which made Chu Liuxiang frown.

Ying Wanli then directly stated his purpose.

"I received news that the Beggars' Sect's leader, Nangong, died on Daming Lake a few days ago. After his death, he was dismembered. I heard that the last person he saw was Chu Xiangshuai."

"You suspect I was the one who killed him?"

Chu Liuxiang naturally knew that it was Black Pearl who was abusing the corpse. After all, her father, the Desert King Jamukha, had been poisoned by Nangong Ling. Chu Liuxiang was very open-minded about revenge and would not say a word.

For example, Nangong Ling killed Ren Ci, ostensibly to avenge his father, and based on this reason, he was thoroughly ridiculed by Chu Liuxiang in the original work.

After all, who in this world can blame a son for avenging his father?

After Nangong Ling died, some Beggar Clan elders spoke up for her, or perhaps to maintain the Beggar Clan's reputation. Originally, according to the storyline, Ying Wanli was the one who came to him for help in finding the real culprit, but now things are not going to go this way.

"I hope that Chu Xiangshuai will tell me everything that Nangong Ling did, and most importantly, the truth about the death of Chief Ren, as well as Nangong Ling's background."

At this moment, Chu Liuxiang understood that this was using his reputation to endorse the government, thereby branding the Huashan Sect's pioneering act of eliminating the evil party led by Nangong Ling with a label of justice!

This also allowed the Beggars' Sect to escape this quagmire and redirect the source of all the conspiracies to Japan!
"You still say he didn't send you!"
