Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Chapter 106 A Harem for One?

Gong Nanyan said calmly, "You may not know this, but the Palace Master dislikes the previous owner of the Xuan Tie Sword Token very much. The departure of the Xuan Tie Sword Token is related to a secret of the Divine Water Palace. I can't tell you the specifics, but if she finds out who the Xuan Tie Sword Token has fallen into, she will definitely not hesitate to take that person's life."

She paused for a moment, then said, "But I can help you keep this news a secret!"

Yue Buqun asked, "What if I don't agree—"

Gong Nanyan said, "I will report this matter to the Palace Master truthfully."

Yue Buqun sighed, "This doesn't seem like a transaction; it's more like coercion."

"I'm just thinking about your feelings. Would talking about a transaction make you feel more comfortable?"

Yue Buqun chuckled. "You're quite considerate, aren't you? May I ask, who do you want me to kill?"

Gong Nanyan said, "Madam Xiong!"

Behind Yue Buqun, Hua Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this and explained to Yue Buqun, "It was twenty years ago, a notorious womanizer who is said to be dead long ago, but according to Miss Gong, he seems to still be alive."

The reason she interrupted was simple.

During this time together, Hua Zhenzhen gained a certain understanding of Yue Buqun's knowledge and experience.

He knew information that even the most secretive martial arts organizations struggled to obtain, but he knew nothing about many of the martial arts masters, which is why he interrupted to explain.

Yue Buqun gave a soft "hmm," not at all surprised.

However, he did deduce some secrets from Gong Nanyan's words that he was unaware of before.

He asked, "Judging from your tone, this Xuan Tie Sword Token seems to be related to Lady Xiong in some way. Hmm—could it be that Lady Xiong brought this thing out of the Divine Water Palace?"

Gong Nanyan abruptly stood up, her previously cold but kind demeanor suddenly turning sharp. She stared intently at Yue Buqun and demanded, "What do you mean by that?!"

"I just killed Shi Guanyin."

Yue Buqun waved his hand, signaling Gong Nanyan not to rush. While pondering in his heart, he slowly made up a story: "Shi Guanyin regards Shui Mu Yin Ji as her lifelong enemy. Over the years, she has naturally been investigating Shui Mu Yin Ji's background. This has allowed me to see some secrets about Shenshui Palace. However, Miss Gong can rest assured that this matter involves other people's secrets. I am not one to make things up, and I will not spread this information recklessly."

Gong Nanyan stared intently at Yue Buqun without saying a word, but the previous kindness was gone from her eyes.

However, there was a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

She was a little unsure how much the other person actually knew.

For example, is she actually a substitute lover raised by the jellyfish Yin Ji?

Yue Buqun slowly said, "So the problem is that you are not a fair person, Miss Gong. You said that the bargaining chip is my life, but given the relationship between Shuimu Yinji and Xiong Niangzi, once she finds out that I killed Xiong Niangzi, I am afraid I will definitely die. From this point of view, you are not lying. The transaction is indeed my life, but it is handing my life over to someone else."

"Very well, then I will inform the Palace Master of this matter, and let her decide the specifics."

With her true colors exposed, Gong Nanyan got up and prepared to leave.

She paused for a moment, then said, "I will also truthfully report your possession of the Heavenly One Divine Water."

Yue Buqun said with dissatisfaction, "Wait, who's been hoarding the Heavenly One Divine Water?"

"Why did Wuhua take away a full bottle, but you only gave me half a bottle? Or even less than half a bottle?"

"Wouldn't that mean we'd have nothing to spend?"

"Can you get Wuhua to testify for you? Before he died, did you have him sign and affix his fingerprint to prove that he did indeed use the Divine Water these past few days?"

Gong Nanyan glanced at Yue Buqun and said indifferently, "There's nothing here. I can only take what I see. It doesn't matter who uses it, but the Heavenly Divine Water I got from you is indeed insufficient."

That little vixen!!!

Yue Buqun sighed, "Miss Gong is being far too hasty in framing me. I never said I wouldn't do it."

"What do you mean?"

Yue Buqun said, "We need to pay more!"

"You want money?"

"You should understand what I mean, Miss Gong. I probably know more than you do, so let's be frank."

Yue Buqun said, "Killing Xiong Niangzi was your selfish desire. This matter cannot be brought to light, and you don't even dare to do it yourself. You can only entrust it to me. However, in my opinion, even though Xiong Niangzi has disappeared for twenty years, the sins she committed have not disappeared. I don't mind taking the opportunity to eliminate evil, so I do not reject this deal."

He asked, "But you yourself said this was a deal. I killed your greatest threat for you, and I took the blame for the wrath of the Water Mother Yin Ji after she found out. But what did I get in return? Your flimsy, weightless promise of secrecy—did you dare not keep it a secret?"

Gong Nanyan asked, "What do you want?"

What can you offer?

Gong Nanyan hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "My body—has never been touched by a man, so it can be considered clean."

Hua Zhenzhen's eyebrows shot up immediately, and she was about to rebuke him angrily.

Yue Buqun waved his hand to stop him, shaking his head and saying, "I am not interested in you, nor do I have any intention of becoming like-minded with that Water Mother Yin Ji."

Fellow traveler—or someone of equal standing?

Gong Nanyan was truly stunned for a long time before she understood what Yue Buqun meant.

A flash of anger crossed her eyes, and she sneered, "Looking at all the beauties in your Huashan Sect, except for you, I thought the Huashan Sect was your harem, and the rest of the disciples were your concubines. I didn't expect I was wrong about Sect Leader Yue. Sect Leader Yue is actually a virtuous and upright gentleman, and his relationships with these girls are completely innocent!"

Hua Zhenzhen turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

He looked left and right, but never at Gong Nanyan.

Yue Buqun then said, "That has nothing to do with Miss Gong. Miss Gong might as well think about how to continue the transaction."

Gong Nanyan thought for a moment and asked, "What about the Heavenly Divine Water?"

"I, Yue, am a man of integrity and would never engage in such despicable acts. What use would I have for such poisonous things?"

"So what exactly do you want?"

"The problem is, I don't know what you have. You can show me your sincerity. As long as you show enough sincerity, you can give me the position of Xiong Niangzi, and I will offer up his head."

Yue Buqun looked at Gong Nanyan with a leisurely air.

Only now did he truly gain the upper hand.

Moreover, he genuinely wouldn't mind continuing this deal.

The so-called "Male Lady," aside from her ill-fated relationship with the Water Mother Yin Ji, is almost identical to Tian Boguang, the lone traveler.

Even if Tian Boguang was later castrated and reformed, shouldn't he have died?

Therefore, if Xiong Niangzi were really in front of him, he wouldn't mind taking her life.

As for the Jellyfish Princess's revenge—

Haha, in just over a year, his overlap has already reached nearly 50%.

Gong Nanyan doesn't need to hide it for too long. Once he returns to Xiao Ao, even if Shui Mu Yin Ji becomes ten times stronger, how could she possibly find Yue Buqun's whereabouts?

As long as this matter is severed from the Huashan Sect, for example, by leaving a letter before returning, allowing Ku Mei and others who have traveled back in time to expel Yue Buqun from the sect, then even if Shui Mu Yin Ji makes unreasonable demands, with Gong Nan Yan covering for her, she won't be able to find the Huashan Sect to blame.

After making up my mind.

Yue Buqun then became even calmer.

After all, even if Gong Nanyan had a hundred brains, he probably wouldn't have imagined that his Huashan Sect would time travel!

After hesitating for a moment, Gong Nanyan said, "In the Divine Water Palace, there is a cultivation technique that the Palace Master obtained with great difficulty. Its effects are miraculous, and even the Palace Master has to look at it with new eyes. More importantly, this technique can preserve youth. After women cultivate it, they can keep their appearance forever. Even if they are close to fifty, they can still look like young women in their twenties."

Yue Buqun's eyes suddenly lit up.

He exclaimed, "Mingyu Gong?!"

Gong Nanyan asked in shock, "You knew?"

Yue Buqun made up a story off the top of his head: "Well, Shi Guanyin once wrote in her diary that she regretted not being able to find the Mingyu Gong so that she could keep her youthful appearance forever—"

Beside her, Hua Zhenzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Master learned so many secrets from Stone Guanyin, yet she knew none of them.
