After finally waking up Long Wudang, looking at his pitiful appearance, even Gao Weihu got rid of the gloom brought by Taotie and grinned out loud.
But as he laughed, Gao Weihu's gaze suddenly narrowed, and the hand holding Quantou trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
Long Wudang did not answer, but just stared at the direction of the valley exit.
Following his gaze, he saw a young priest standing next to Kong Renhe, his eyes sweeping over the priests in front of him one by one.
The priest was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a face full of flesh and an unusually stout body. Standing there, he looked like a mountain of flesh. His eyes were icy cold, and he exuded a murderous aura. Anyone caught in his glance trembled with fear, their foreheads covered in sweat.
"This is your elder brother Gao Weilong, right?" Mu Hanyan asked.
In fact, this question is a bit redundant. Just looking at that man's fat body and the fierceness in his eyes, no one would believe that he and Gao Weihu are not brothers.
"Yeah." Gao Weihu nodded.
"Don't worry. With your current strength, it won't be easy for him to get rid of you. Besides, you are already a member of my Huayu Temple. I don't think he has the courage to come to my Huayu City to die." Mu Hanyan said.
"I'm not afraid of him, it's just..." Gao Weihu smiled bitterly, but didn't know what to say next.
Mu Hanyan patted Gao Weihu's shoulder and sighed inwardly.
She understood Gao Weihu's feelings. No matter how Gao Weilong treated him, he could never let go of the blood-thicker-than-water bond, nor could he forget the love his elder brother had shown him in childhood. She felt the same way about the Mu branch of Black Rock City, though that was also because they weren't as heartless as Gao Weilong.
Mu Hanyan knew that no matter how Gao Weilong treated Gao Weihu, it would be difficult for Gao Weihu to regard him as a mortal enemy. If one day the two brothers really broke up head-on, it would be difficult for him to be cruel to Gao Weilong.
However, Gao Weihu is unwilling to take ruthless action, but she can.
Mu Hanyan looked at Gao Weilong coldly. If this guy was really determined not to let Gao Weihu go, then she would have to be the bad guy.
Kong Renhe stood next to Gao Weilong, lowering his head and frowning, thinking about something.
The incident just now had made him extremely anxious and upset, and it was not until now that he calmed down. Looking at the priests who were questioned and leaving the valley one by one, he always felt uneasy, as if he had missed something or something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.
"I didn't expect that the young master of the Liu family would be such a coward. He was so scared by our Chief Priest Mu that he didn't even dare to fart. Not only did he have to swallow his anger, but he also had to pay compensation." A priest behind him sighed, with a bit of pride in his eyes.
Although the Flower Rain Temple's transcendent status is actually not lower than that of the Life Temple, that was in the past after all. Now most people are accustomed to regarding the Flower Rain Temple as one of the subordinate temples of the Life Temple, so they are also proud of it.
"Don't you see who Chief Priest Mu is? Even the Right Priest can't do anything to her. Last time, she almost forced him to lose face. How can someone like Liu Qianyuan, a second-generation descendant who relied on his family's influence to rise to power, be qualified to compete with her?" Another priest added. The news of Zhao Xinghong's death had not yet reached them, and they knew nothing about it.
"Long Wudang is also lucky. With his status and strength, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Chief Priest Mu, he would have died this time without leaving even a trace." Another priest said enviously.
"Do you know the origin of Long Wudang? Could it be that he is not from the Huayu Temple?" Kong Renhe asked with an idea in his mind.
Although Long Wudang was a well-known figure in Tianyang City, how could Kong Renhe, with his status, know about such a minor figure? When he first saw Mu Hanyan defending him, he thought she was an underling of the Flower Rain Temple. But after hearing what the priest said, that didn't seem to be the case. If he truly was a member of the Flower Rain Temple, Mu Hanyan's support would be natural, and there wouldn't be any such thing as just good luck meeting her.
"No, no, he is the son of the chief priest of Tianyang Temple, but he has an older brother above him." The priest replied.
"How little do you know about him?" Kong Renhe asked.
"This man relies on his status and background to act arrogantly on weekdays, but in fact he is as cowardly as a mouse and has no backbone. I heard that he once caused trouble in a lower-level temple and was beaten to a bloody pulp. When he fled back to Tianyang City, no one supported him, so the matter was left unresolved." The priest didn't know why Kong Renhe asked this, but he answered honestly anyway.
This priest had been to Tianyang City on official business, where Long Ao personally hosted a banquet for him, accompanied by Long Wucuo and Long Wudang. Therefore, he had some knowledge of the Long family's affairs, and even knew that Long Wudang had been beaten to a bloody pulp in a lower-level temple. However, he was not sure which lower-level temple it was.
"As cowardly as a mouse, without any backbone." Kong Renhe murmured in a low voice, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
If Long Wudang truly had some courage, it wouldn't be surprising for him to return to his own territory and seek revenge on Zuo Qiuhan and the others after being bullied in the Blackwood Prison. However, according to the priest, Long Wudang clearly didn't have that kind of courage. He was beaten to a bloody pulp by the people from the lower temples, but the matter was left unresolved.
Such a person, even if he was bullied by Zuo Qiuhan, he would just be bullied. How could he dare to take revenge?
Could it be that he was trying to cover up something by doing that?
But what exactly was he trying to hide? The origins of those five-colored soul beads had been confirmed by Zuo Qiuhan, and he knew Zuo Qiuhan somewhat. Although his family background couldn't compare to Liu Qianyuan's, his talent and strength were far superior. When it came to arrogance, he was definitely even more arrogant than Liu Qianyuan, and there was no way he would lie.
Kong Renhe thought and thought, but couldn't figure it out, and his mood became more and more depressed.
"Long Wudang's luck is really too good. I wonder how many seriously injured monsters he encountered before he was able to hunt thousands of five-colored soul beads. Do you think Mu Hanyan is willing to help him because she is greedy for those five-colored soul beads?" A priest speculated.
After all, Long Wudang is not from the Huayu Temple. It is really hard to understand why Mu Hanyan is willing to offend Liu Qianyuan to help him. It is not surprising that he has such a guess.
"That shouldn't be the case. I don't think Chief Priest Mu is such a person?" The priest shook his head.
"You don't know anyone else, so how do you know she is not such a person? Are you attracted to her? Not to mention, Chief Priest Mu's appearance and figure, wow..." a priest said jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense. With the status, position, and courage of Chief Priest Mu, how dare I blaspheme her?" The priest blushed and said guiltily.
