The Melon-eating Swordsman In the Ancient Dragon World

Chapter 422: The Suspicion of Mu Daoren

Mu Taoist and Gu Songji did not leave Jianji Temple. Hua Manlou and Su Shaoying strolled on the streets of Jiujiang. Soon they saw a passenger ship parked on the edge of the island from a distance. Ouyang Qing was waiting for the passenger ship.

“Lu Xiaofeng should have entered the mountains of Jiangxi.” Hua Manlou suddenly said.

"Now let's see if Ghost Villa appears." Su Shaoying said.

 “Are you still doubting Mu Taoist?” Hua Manlou asked.

Su Shaoying asked instead, "Do you think there is a problem with the layman Gu Song?"

Hua Manlou fell into silence. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Logically speaking, the friendship between Gu Songji and Lu Xiaofeng is not very deep, but it is possible that they were influenced by Mu Taoist."

"But you still have doubts." Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou nodded, "Because he has no origin, it's as if he suddenly appeared next to Mu Taoist. Mu Taoist is free and has no secrets, so he doesn't need to care about it, but our plan cannot go wrong."

If something goes wrong, Lu Xiaofeng will die.

"Then why is Master Shi Yan unwilling to let Master Mu participate in this matter?" Su Shaoying asked.

"How is Gu Feiyun's martial arts?" Su Shaoying asked.

"Because Mu Taoist made a mistake." Hua Manlou said, "It must be some kind of mistake that cannot be made public, but Mu Taoist's status is too respected and his martial arts is too strong, so the matter was suppressed, but Mu Taoist also I have to stay away from Wudang and wander around the world."

"I seem to have heard someone talk about it." Hua Manlou frowned and thought for a while, "The geese fly across the sky, the crane dances in the nine heavens, the seven swords of Wudang are headed by the two spirits."

"who?"

"But Shi He is a disciple of Taoist Mu, a proud disciple." Su Shaoying said calmly, "Shi He disappeared more than ten years ago, but Taoist Mu didn't seem to have any regrets at all, nor did he have any reaction."

"That's right." Su Shaoying nodded, "The Wudang Sect had a lot of talented people named Seven Swords. Their names were much more famous than our Three Heroes and Four Shows, but there were only two who were the most powerful. It was Wudang Shi Yan and Shihe."

“He is worried that Mu Daoren still harbors resentment towards Wudang.” Hua Manlou asked, “But why do you doubt Mu Daoren?”

Hearing this, Hua Manlou couldn't help but be shocked, "Could it be that the mistake made by Mu Taoist was related to Shi He?"

Su Shaoying said calmly, "So Master Shi Yan doesn't trust Master Mu."

"More than ten years ago, the most famous young master of the Wudang Sect was not Master Shi Yan." Su Shaoying said, "Although a long time has passed, there are still records on Mount Emei."

"Because I think of someone." Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou thought for a while, frowned and asked, "But isn't this too arbitrary? Wudang swordsmanship is famous all over the world and has been widely spread. It may be someone else."

Huamanlou fell into silence. This was something he had not figured out before, but after a period of thinking, he had figured it out.

“Although it’s a bit exaggerated, his martial arts is definitely not weak.” Su Shaoying asked, “Apart from Shi He, which Wudang swordsman do you think can beat him?”

“His Huifeng Wuliu Sword is the true inheritance of Bashan, and his martial arts skills are still superior to those of Taoist Xiao Gu. Apart from Ximen Chuixue, there are no more than ten people in the world who can kill him.” Huamanlou said.

“But Master Shi Yan became the leader of Wudang ten years ago, but Shi He disappeared more than ten years ago.” Hua Manlou said, “Do you think the person who forced Gu Feiyun off the cliff in Ghost Villa was Shi He?”

“Except for Mu Taoist and Master Shi Yan, the other Wudang celebrities are at best on par with him, and the new generation of masters will not be his opponents.”

“Then we have to ask Master Shi Yan.” Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Family scandals should not be made public, let alone the Wudang Sect, the leader of the Taoist sect. If Master Shi Yan could say it, he would have said it long ago."

“So do you think my suspicion is justified?” Su Shaoying asked. "It makes sense, it does make sense." Hua Manlou couldn't help but sigh, but she still couldn't accept Su Shaoying's reasoning emotionally. After all, Hua Manlou and Mu Daoren were also friends, and they ate vegetarian together at Master Balsam Pear's Jiuhua Mountain last year.

"But he is just suspicious, and everything you said is just speculation." Hua Manlou said.

"Of course, I am not Lu Xiaofeng, who convicts people without any evidence." Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou could only shake his head and smile bitterly again. Regarding this point, neither he nor Lu Xiaofeng could stand up in front of Su Shaoying. After all, Dugu Yihe was almost convicted by them out of thin air, and Yan Tieshan even died because of it.

“But you are confident in your guess.” Hua Manlou said.

 “Otherwise why would I bet with Lu Xiaofeng?” Su Shaoying said with a smile.

"Your confidence has also affected me." Huamanlou sighed, "The more I look at them, the more wrong they become."

“Because Mu Taoist is Lu Xiaofeng’s friend?” Su Shaoying said with a smile.

“Because the Mu Taoist and the Gusong lay people travel together and travel around the mountains and rivers, they often lose their traces.” Hua Manlou shook his head and said, “When they lose their traces, they are often in the areas of Zhejiang, Huaihe, Hunan and Jiangxi.”

“When they lost their traces, would they have returned to the Ghost Villa in the mountains of Jiangxi?” Su Shaoying asked.

 Huamanlou raised her eyebrows a little, "You should have spoken out these suspicions earlier, and we should have reminded Lu Xiaofeng earlier."

“Don’t worry, Lu Xiaofeng is not stupid.” Su Shaoying smiled, “His ability to adapt to changes is better than you and me.”

"But he really believes in his friends." Hua Manlou sighed, "He also suffered a lot in this regard."

"The owner of Ghost Villa is not Lu Xiaofeng's friend." Su Shaoying said, "If Mu Tao Ren is really the owner of Ghost Villa, you shouldn't think that he will deal with Lu Xiaofeng in his true colors, right?"

"That's true." Hua Manlou admitted this, "All we can do now is to believe in Lu Xiaofeng."

"Relax." Su Shaoying, who is familiar with the original work, is reassured, "We have to believe Lu Xiaofeng."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I feel that you have more confidence in Lu Xiaofeng than I do."

“Because he also wants me to drink satin soup.” Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou couldn't help but sigh, "What I'm worried about now is how to eat on that table."

Su Shaoying smiled and said, "It's still too late for you to hide that table now."

"I won't hide it." A smile appeared on Hua Manlou's face, "Actually, I'm also a little curious about how he will eat from that table."

Compared to Su Shaoying, Huamanlou is also Lu Xiaofeng's friend. Of course, he has full confidence in Lu Xiaofeng.

At this time, Ouyang Qing had already got off the passenger ship and came to the two of them, "Are you done?"

 “That’s it.” Su Shaoying said.

 “What now?” Ouyang Qing asked.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Now of course we are going to visit Poyang Lake."
