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

The newcomer was dressed in a brocade robe, tall and handsome, with a carefree, nonchalant smile on his face—or, to put it another way, an extremely irritatingly easygoing one.

He stood outside the window and sighed, "I had no intention of disturbing Master Yue's rest with such an unwelcome guest, but I have inadvertently disturbed him. I hope you will forgive my rudeness."

Chu Liuxiang!!!

[Plane overlap: 31%]

Oh?

Just by discovering Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts, it directly provided a 3% overlap?

Yue Buqun was secretly amazed.

Sure enough, it's still more worthwhile to fleece the main characters of other worlds.

However, it has been almost half a year since I transmigrated to this world.

I never imagined that I would meet the protagonist of this world in this way.

Yue Buqun stood indoors, looking out the window at the thief king who appeared completely at ease, showing no sign of the embarrassment of being caught stealing.

He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "I never thought that the dignified Thief King Chu Liuxiang would be caught by me. If this gets out, my reputation will probably rise even higher, and many people in the martial arts world will look at me with new respect."

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have that much influence."

"Please come in, Chu Xiangshuai."

A smile appeared on Yue Buqun's lips, but it quickly disappeared.

A sigh escaped his lips as he exclaimed sincerely, "To be honest, I was just worrying about where to look for Xiang Shuai, but he himself delivered himself to my doorstep. It seems that heaven truly has eyes!"

"Oh? You were looking for me?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I was planning to do."

Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, "So, it seems I've walked right into a trap?"

"That depends on why Xiang Shuai came here."

"I came for the Sword of Immortality."

Chu Liuxiang, having been caught red-handed, did not hide anything. He sighed and said, "During this time, I have been investigating the whereabouts of the Longevity Sword. In the end, I only found out through a friend that the Longevity Sword was actually in the hands of Mount Hua."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun was taken aback and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"I'm not afraid to admit it, Sect Leader Yue, but the existence of this Longevity Sword is extremely helpful in clearing my name."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "This divine weapon was Xue Yiren's treasure, but it has been lost by accident. Master Xue actually pinned the blame on me, saying that no one else in the world could steal such a divine weapon except me. He used this as an excuse to force me to find the weapon and clear my name. After several investigations, I finally found it was Master Yue."

"and then?"

Yue Buqun's expression had become extremely strange.

"Then, I intended to take this sword secretly, but unexpectedly, Sect Leader Yue traveled day and night at breakneck speed, giving me no chance at all. I had no choice but to follow behind Sect Leader Yue..."

"You followed me all the way from Mount Hua to Mount Song?"

A look of astonishment appeared in Yue Buqun's eyes; he truly hadn't noticed a single clue.

"It's a pity that I intended to make my move today, but I was caught red-handed by Sect Leader Yue."

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Yue Buqun asked, "Didn't you follow them to Shaolin?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, "I originally wanted to go in, but who would have thought that I would see Master Xue outside Shaolin Temple? I... you know what I mean."

Yue Buqun understood.

Regardless of whether it was Chu Liuxiang who stole it or not, Xue Yiren believed that Chu Liuxiang was the thief. Facing a victim who was shouting for his life, Chu Liuxiang was probably already at a disadvantage.

Therefore, upon seeing Xue Yiren, he immediately fled into the distance.

Then, seeing Yue Buqun and the others return, and their movements were not as hurried as before, but rather slow, he finally found an opportunity to steal the sword.

As for what happened at that time...

Yue Buqun sighed, "Since Senior Xue has graced Shaolin with his presence, why didn't he take the Longevity Sword? Didn't you consider that?"

"Perhaps they have some reservations about Shaolin?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Senior Xue's sword is too sharp. He even sank my ship. I'm terrified of him now, how could I dare to approach him?"

Yue Buqun sighed, "Yes, if you were closer, you would know that Senior Xue has already gifted the Longevity Sword to me."

"what?"

Chu Liuxiang's expression was extremely strange. "Then...should I steal this sword, or not?"

"This matter involves Senior Xue's family affairs. I have already given Senior Xue the key clues. Once he has investigated it thoroughly, he will naturally know the truth."

Yue Buqun explained, "But regardless of whether there is an investigation or not, Xiang Shuai's suspicion should have been cleared. If Xiang Shuai is willing, he might as well go and find Senior Xue now. Maybe he can still get compensation for the sunken ship."

"Then forget it. It's just a mere 100,000 or 200,000 taels. I don't care too much about it."

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose again, but what he said was incredibly hurtful.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all good this way. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that it can end this way. Please forgive me for offending Sect Leader Yue earlier."

"It's alright. Didn't I say? Xiang Shuai has walked right into my trap. Even if Xiang Shuai hadn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for him."

Chu Liuxiang asked, "Oh? May I ask what business Sect Leader Yue has with me?"

Two things!

Which two items?

"The first thing I want to ask Xiang Shuai about is someone."

"Who?"

"Hu Tiehua, the chivalrous bandit of Xiaoxiang".

"What do you want with him?"

"Oh? Doesn't Xiang Shuai know what I want to do?"

Chu Liuxiang's expression suddenly turned strange, as if he had made a connection to something. His expression was exactly like that of a close friend who had committed a philandering crime, but it had ended up back on his own head.

He mumbled, "I think I know something. Could it be a warning?"

Yue Buqun said with a bitter expression, "That's not it. It's just that Junior Nephew Gao was deeply in love with this Hero Hu. Even if Hero Hu treated her like trash and loathed her to the extreme, her last words still had to be told to him."

Chu Liuxiang's slightly awkward and ambiguous smile froze on his face.

His expression stiffened, and he stared intently at Yue Buqun, asking, "What did you just say?"

"Shaolin is holding a martial arts tournament, and the Huashan Sect has come in full force. Our entire Huashan Sect is here."

Yue Buqun sighed, "Xiang Shuai may not be familiar with the Huashan Sect, but he should know that many of us are missing."

"You mean Gao Yanan...she...had an accident? She's dead? How is that possible?"

Yue Buqun said, enunciating each word clearly, "At this moment, I wish she were dead. Otherwise, she would surely suffer the cruelest torment and humiliation in the world, to the point of wishing she were dead."

"What do you mean? Gao Yanan is Master Kumei's most prized disciple, how could she...?"

Chu Liuxiang seemed to realize something and asked, "Speaking of which, it's not surprising that Master Kumei passed on his position to Sect Leader Yue, but why... when I went to Mount Hua before, did I not see any trace of Master Kumei?"

Yue Buqun said solemnly, "Senior Sister Kumei is no longer in this world."

"What exactly happened?"

Chu Liuxiang's usual calm and relaxed demeanor has been completely shattered.

Gao Yanan was not only Hu Tiehua's ambiguous love interest, but also his friend of many years...

Now the other party is facing a life-or-death crisis?

What's even more tragic is that he was completely unaware of it.

Yue Buqun said with a grave expression, "It's Stone Guanyin!"
