Chapter 258

【Hidden Big Shot: Divine Physician Oufeng, deep in scheming】

"Oufeng? The Oufeng who was killed today?"

Ren Yingying and Tu Xuehua started in shock.

Oufeng could be ranked alongside Gu Gu Jianhun as a big shot in the drama—he was no ordinary figure—yet he had died so carelessly.

But on closer thought, it wasn't because he was too incompetent, but because he was too unlucky, running into Jiang Sishui.

Otherwise, judging by the cunning with which he easily got his hands on the "Heavenly Crippled Foot" manual, he would most likely have risen to great heights.

……

In another room of the inn, Liu Mingluan's pupils trembled violently, and a storm surged within her heart.

The diary had already been flipped to the latest page, and the shock in her heart had built to its peak, washing away even the grief over her father's death.

For no other reason than that the secret above was too astonishing, completely overturning her worldview.

"So it turns out, he had such an origin…"

After a long while, Liu Mingluan's emotions finally calmed.

"Oufeng, a big shot in the drama—no wonder Father fell into his hands."

With a complex, indescribable soft sigh, Liu Mingluan continued reading.

【When Gu Gu Jianhun was young, he encountered a woman—Sun Jinling】

【And Oufeng was likewise one of Sun Jinling's admirers】

【The two rivals met by chance; Gu Gu Jianhun, relying on his martial prowess, bullied Oufeng and even humiliated him with words, saying he was a toad lusting after a swan's flesh】

【Oufeng bore a deep grudge, and from then on made two great resolves: first, to kill Gu Gu Jianhun; second, to dominate the Wu Lin and hold his head high】

【To accomplish the first, he poisoned the then-master of Yanxia Shanzhuang, who was the grandfather of the current master, Tu Jin】

"Ah! Great-grandfather was killed by Oufeng!"

Tu Xuehua sprang to her feet, her face filled with shock.

She was Tu Jin's daughter, so the one killed by Oufeng was naturally her great-grandfather.

Tu Xuehua's gaze turned cold, and at the same time a wave of regret washed over her.

What a pity—she hadn't hacked Oufeng a few more times today to vent her great-grandfather's grievance!

However…

"Oufeng wanted to kill Gu Gu Jianhun—what reason did he have to poison my great-grandfather?"

【Yanxia Shanzhuang was the leader of the righteous faction in the drama; the sudden death of its master was naturally a world-shaking event】

【At this moment Oufeng found Sun Jinling's master—Emei Sect's Abbess Wuse】

【Oufeng falsely claimed Gu Gu Jianhun was the murderer, and that he intended to unify the Wu Lin】

【Abbess Wuse believed him and resolved to stop it】

【Just at this time, Gu Gu Jianhun happened to obtain the "Tathagata Divine Palm" manual, and Sun Jinling, who had already married him, informed her master of the matter】

【Abbess Wuse deliberately spread the news, intending to kill with a borrowed knife】

????????? Seeking flowers??????????

【An ordinary man is guilty of possessing a jade; the seven righteous sects, jealous of the manual, immediately united, and under Abbess Wuse's secret plotting, began a plan to kill and seize the treasure】

【They first abducted Gu Gu Jianhun's son and challenged Gu Gu Jianhun to a fight】

【Afterwards, they sent people disguised as helpless women, using Sun Jinling's kindness to approach her, and struck at close range】

【Gu Gu Jianhun lost his beloved wife, grief-stricken and beside himself with rage】

【At the appointed place, the seven sect leaders killed his son in front of Gu Gu Jianhun】

【Gu Gu Jianhun flew into a frenzy and fought the seven sect leaders to the death】

【The eight vanished from that day forth】

"So that's how it is—Yanxia Shanzhuang actually held such a position in the drama, no wonder…"

Tu Xuehua suddenly understood.

The Yanxia Shanzhuang in reality was only a first-rate power, nowhere near the leader of the righteous faction; had Jiang Sishui not spoken, she would never have guessed this was the reason.

But then again, the Oufeng in reality doesn't seem to have any reason to harm her great-grandfather, does he?

Could she have misunderstood?

Shaking her head, Tu Xuehua stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, the man is already dead, and the truth isn't that important anymore; dwelling on it further would only be inviting trouble.

……

Shuzhou, Mount Emei.

Xie Yunzhen, Zhou Zhiruo, Sun Xiuqing, and Shi Xiuyun all furrowed their brows.

"Abbess Wuse… there is a great-master-uncle with the dharma name 'Wuse,' but she passed away long ago—could it be the same person?"

"If it's the same person, then she…"

The four women's hearts sank.

If the two were the same person, then Emei Sect would have made a tremendous fool of itself.

Looking at Abbess Wuse's actions overall, she was either foolish or wicked.

Abbess Wuse was admittedly deceived, but she was also guilty of negligence, and her methods were far too despicable and shameless—truly not what the righteous path should do.

……

Without surprise, at this very moment, those demonesses and enchantresses regarded by jianghu people as the wicked and heretical all let out cold laughs.

What Mingmenzheng Sect—when tempted by great profit, how many of them can remain unmoved?

They do not deny their own ruthlessness, nor do they look down on the greed of the righteous; they merely despise that hypocritical face they put on, parading themselves as noble.

Strip away that layer of pretense and pretty clothes—when it comes to what's underneath, who's truly beautiful and who's truly ugly is still very much up for debate.

286 Tu Xuehua's Origins, The Battle with the Archenemy

【When Gu Gu Jianhun originally obtained the secret manual of "Buddha Palm," he had actually also obtained the secret manual of "Heavenly Cripple Kick," but because the ancient tomb suddenly collapsed, he missed out on the latter.】

【Twenty years after Gu Gu Jianhun vanished, He Long dug up the "Heavenly Cripple Kick" secret manual, but it was mistaken for the "Buddha Palm" secret manual, and he was brutally intercepted and killed by the Qisha Sect.】

【Fortunately, the drama's second male lead, Ou Ou Jinghao, came to the rescue in the name of righteousness, so he didn't die on the spot.】

【However, He Long was ultimately mortally wounded. Before his death, he entrusted the wooden box containing the secret manual to the Changlong Escort Agency, asking them to deliver it to Yanxia Shanzhuang.】

【Later, the chief escort of the Changlong Escort Agency, Liu Zhongyuan, embezzled it and learned the "Heavenly Cripple Kick," becoming arrogant and overbearing from then on, thinking himself invincible.】

"Oufeng's son Ou Ou Jinghao is the second male lead?"

Tu Xuehua was slightly stunned, then thought to herself: "Then, as another big shot in the drama, could Gu Gu Jianhun have some connection to the male lead?"

【Here comes a '413' question: the burial site of the secret manual is top secret, so how did He Long come to know about it?】

【At first I thought it was a logic flaw, but later I figured out the answer.】

【It must have been the mistress of Yanxia Shanzhuang—Sun Biyun—who told him.】

【After all, before Sun Biyun married Tu Jin, she had once had a romance with Gu Gu Jianhun.】

【So it wouldn't be strange for her to know.】

"My mother? Mother once had a romance with Gu Gu Jianhun?"

Tu Xuehua was stunned.

"Fire Cloud Evil God" Gu Gu Jianhun, in her impression, was a legendary figure.

She never expected that he would actually have a connection to her own mother.

Then her father Tu Jin...

At this moment, Tu Xuehua seemed to see a field of green.

【Sun Biyun is Sun Jinling's twin sister; the two look exactly alike.】

【After Sun Jinling died, Sun Biyun's master Zhao Zhao Zhongli forced his disciple to use a beauty trap, taking advantage of the vulnerability to steal the "Buddha Palm" secret manual.】

【Sun Biyun was extremely unwilling, but had no choice.】

【Gu Gu Jianhun saw through the master-disciple duo's trick, but because Sun Biyun's face was identical to his deceased wife's, he could never bring himself to be ruthless.】

【And Sun Biyun later fell in love with Gu Gu Jianhun.】

【Once, drunk, Gu Gu Jianhun mistook Sun Biyun for Sun Jinling and forced himself on her.】

【Afterward, Gu Gu Jianhun said he was willing to take responsibility, and Sun Biyun turned her sorrow into joy.】

【However, not long after, because Gu Gu Jianhun couldn't forget Sun Jinling and felt he couldn't give Sun Biyun all his love, he hurled harsh words at her and even drove her away.】

【And by then, Sun Biyun was already pregnant.】
