Chapter 1060: Unpredictable Closeness
"Now that the show is over, we should go home." Suddenly, Jin Fuyu, who was distracted, bowed to Lu Tingxiang, Zuo Hongxuan, and Miao An, who were hesitant to speak, and said, "It's better not to watch the fighting. What do you three think?"

"Although the overall situation has been decided, I still hope to witness the final outcome with my own eyes." Lu Tingxiang hesitated and stammered, "I hope Master Jinwu... won't be offended."

"Since Master Lu has his own plans, how dare I force him to do it?" How could Jin Fuyu not know what Lu Tingxiang was thinking? His eyebrows slightly raised, and the smile on his face was still amiable, "This place is not like Jiangnan, and Liu Xunyi is not Luo Tianjin. This boy is young and successful, so he is inevitably arrogant and moody. Master Lu, please be very careful when you 'act' here."

Jin Fuyu's secretive reminder made Lu Tingxiang feel nervous, and his words and actions became more and more uncomfortable.

"I don't know if Sect Leader Zuo, Master Miao'an..."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but not only should we not leave in a hurry, I advise Master Jinwu not to leave in a hurry either." Miao An advised seriously, "Even if you are in a hurry... there is no need to rush."

"how do I say this?"

"With Qingfeng's death, the Central Plains martial arts world is leaderless, and a new martial arts leader will inevitably be elected." Zuo Hongxuan said bluntly, "Based on the current situation, who is most qualified to take over the throne of leader?"

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Liu Xunyi." Zuo Hongxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a helpless look on his face. "Let alone the fact that he is the biological child of Alliance Leader Luo and the legitimate young master of the Xianwang Mansion. Just consider that his mother is the Lord of Jueqing Valley, his grandfather is the patriarch of the Teng Clan, and his brother who shares life and death with him is the Patriarch of the Qin Clan. Add to that the reckless and impulsive Xue Huzi, who is foolishly loyal, and the arrogant Yun Zhuiyue, who is only devoted to Xiao Zhirou... Who in the Central Plains martial arts world can compete with such an unprecedented huge force? Who dares to compete with it?"

"Master Zuo is right!" Miao An said angrily, "Besides that, Shaolin, Kunlun, Kongtong, Tang Sect, these 'fence-sitters' who change their stance according to the situation, will they make peace with Liu Xunyi for the sake of self-protection? Or even... become a team? I think... this is nine out of ten. If we take into account the secret support of the Western Regions' Young Qin King, Liu Xunyi will be the youngest, most popular and most powerful martial arts leader in the Central Plains martial arts world in hundreds of years. To be honest, even if Master Jinwu 'shows his power', I'm afraid... it will be no more than this."

"According to what you said, Liu Xunyi is now 'those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish'?" Seeing that Zuo Hongxuan and Miao An were both wavering, Jin Fuyu showed no emotion on the surface, but in fact he was gradually becoming dissatisfied in his heart, "Should you...even Jin, follow the trend and bow down to this young man who is still wet behind the ears?"

"This……"

As if they had sensed Jin Fuyu's displeasure, Lu Tingxiang, Zuo Hongxuan and Miao An looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment between their brows.

"In that case, let's make a bet." Looking at the three people who were in a dilemma and hesitant, Jin Fuyu smiled calmly and softened his tone a little, "Jin is certain that Liu Xunyi will not take over the position of the leader of the Central Plains Wulin, and will not recruit heroes to become the 'youngest, most popular, and most powerful leader of the Wulin throughout history'."

"This..." Since they didn't know Jin Fuyu's true intention, Lu Tingxiang and the other two didn't dare to interrupt him rashly.

"A little gambling is good for fun, so you three don't need to take it so seriously. If I guess wrong, no matter what you do... I won't ask, nor will I pursue, nor will I make things difficult for you." Jin Fuyu looked at Lu Tingxiang and the other two, and said with a fake smile, "But if I am unfortunate enough to be right... that's fine. All you three need to do is go south and personally go to Jiumo Cliff to have a small gathering with me. Then, we can put aside all our prejudices, open our hearts to each other, and have a few words... from the heart. How do you think?"

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Hongxuan straightened his eyes and bowed respectfully to Jin Fuyu.

Seeing this, Lu Tingxiang and Miao An no longer hesitated and made a promise to Jin Fuyu: "It's a deal!"

"That's great! Take care, all of you. I'll take my leave."

"Master Jinwu, take care!"

After the greetings, Jin Fu Yu did not linger any longer. He turned around and left, accompanied by Song Yu, Leng Yiyi and a group of Jin Jianwu disciples, and quickly disappeared in the bustling crowd.

"Sister, Jin Fuyu is gone!" On the sidelines, Wu Shuang came close to Xunzhen and reminded her in a low voice with a hint of meaning.

"Jin Fuyu never likes to do things that he is not sure of. He knows that Luoyang City is not his territory, so he dare not act rashly."

"Now that the only 'variable' today has faded away, it's time for this farce...to end."

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right! Let Liu Xunyi kill Qingfeng first, and then let others take action... and wipe out the remaining evildoers in a logical way, and others will have nothing to say."

"It's not that they have nothing to say, but they dare not say anything." Wu Shuang joked, "Qingfeng's death not only makes Wudang lose its greatest support, but also makes those who are secretly dissatisfied with us lose their backbone. Without a leader, these Han people are just a pile of scattered sand. Each of them has his own ulterior motives and is calculating against each other. Everyone wants to get something for nothing, and no one wants to pay the price."

"After this battle, Liu Xunyi will surely become famous in the Central Plains martial arts world, and his status in the martial arts world will soar. More importantly, from now on, apart from Jin Fuyu, no one in the Central Plains martial arts world can compete with him." Xunzhen said thoughtfully, "So far, everything has been as planned by the Young Qin King. Once Liu Xunyi succeeds in taking the throne and becomes the number one overlord in the Central Plains martial arts world, the Young Qin King's plan to rule the Central Plains... will surely be successful."

Hearing this, Wu's eyes turned and he asked meaningfully, "Sister, do you really believe that Liu Xunyi will always be loyal to the young king of Qin? Don't you really have any suspicion of him?"

"This..." Xunzhen was stunned, and his eyes darkened. He whispered absentmindedly, "Of course I have some reservations about him, and I don't really trust him. Everything I do... is just to make better use of him." "That's great!" Wu Shuang was skeptical about Xunzhen's explanation, but did not ask questions. Instead, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "Sister, I didn't mean to spoil your fun. Those words just now... were actually what the young king of Qin meant."

"What?" Xunzhen was startled, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Could it be...he doubts me?"

"Before coming here, the Young King of Qin summoned me to meet him alone." Wu Shuang did not directly answer Xunzhen's question, but looked around and said seriously, "He asked me to tell you a message, 'No matter what time, you must not be sincere to Liu Xunyi. This boy is like a double-edged sword, which can hurt others as well as yourself. He can be used by me or he can be my enemy. Therefore, he is just a chess piece in your hand. Sooner or later, he will lose his value. When the time comes, we will not only abandon him, but also... get rid of him.' Sister, the Young King of Qin has always trusted you very much and has never questioned the task assigned to you. However, this time you obviously did a good job on the task, why did the Young King of Qin say some inexplicable words out of character? I have thought about it, but I really don't understand what he means. Do you... understand?"

How clever is Xunzhen? Wu Shuang pretended to be confused, clearly testing her on purpose, how could she not know?

Thinking of this, Xunzhen smiled contemptuously and said lightly: "I don't understand either. Maybe... someone is eager to take credit, so he can't control his mouth and spread rumors behind my back, secretly undermining me in front of the young king of Qin."

When Xunzhen said this, he glanced at Abaolu, who was watching the fight intently, with a gloomy and icy gaze, but said nothing more.

"Sister, don't misunderstand Young Master Qin. He cares about you too..."

"Brother, we don't need to be distracted by some illusory things. Solving the current trouble is the most urgent task."

Xunzhen interrupted Wu Shuang's persuasion impatiently, and winked at Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku, Xue Huzi, Hong Si, Yan Shun, Lei Zhen and others who were eager to try, indicating that the time had come and they could lead their disciples to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of Wudang.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting..."

However, just as thousands of soldiers and horses were ready to charge into the bluestone square from all directions, intending to slaughter Ling Xiaoxiao, Gu Ri, Gu Yue, Zheng Songren and other Wudang people with overwhelming force, a trembling and hoarse shout suddenly sounded in the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, a panicked figure stumbled out from the disciples of Prince Xian's Mansion, stumbled around the chaotic crowd, and fell in front of Xiao Zhirou and Liu Xunyi.

"Xun Yi, I...I beg you to show mercy and let my lady live! If you have a grudge and want to kill someone to vent your anger, then...I am willing to exchange my life for another's!"

Before he could finish his words, the man had already pulled out his steel knife with a "clang" and chopped at his neck without thinking.

"Brother, you can't..."

"call!"

"Boom..."

Before Xiao Zhirou could wave her palm to send the man flying, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly changed, and his chaotic mind instantly became three points clearer.

Without a moment's hesitation, he moved as fast as lightning, and a sharp force shot out from his fingertips, hitting the man's wrist squarely. His palm went numb, and his five fingers loosened, causing the steel knife to fly out of his hand and fall far to the side.

At the same time, Lei Zhen and Yan Shun, who mistakenly thought that someone was attacking Liu Xunyi, rushed over after hearing the news. They led the crowd to surround the man without saying a word, intending to hack him to death with their swords.

"Stop! He is my sworn brother, Lin Fangda, so stop messing around!"

Seeing Lin Fangda being kicked to the ground by Lei Zhen, Liu Xunyi's face changed, and he shouted angrily, then flew forward and protected him with his body.

"Big brother slashed his own sword in front of me. Could it be that he wanted to kill me?"

Liu Xunyi hugged Lin Fangda tightly, who looked increasingly haggard after not seeing him for a long time. He who had just been "decisive and ruthless" was now in tears and extremely excited.

"Brother, I am sorry for you. It is because of me that you have been criticized and ostracized in the Xianwang Mansion..."

"Xun Yi, brothers should not talk about other people's affairs! I know that the Madam committed an unforgivable crime by killing the Lord of the Mansion, and I hate her too! But... I can't watch her die, and I can't let her die in your hands. Otherwise, not only will I be ashamed to face Ning Yu in the future, but you, as her half-brother... will also be unable to explain to her."
