Despite Guan Hu's bluster, the group ignored him. Right now, the three of them were simply unable to hold off the two experts. They needed to get them to talk as soon as possible and obtain useful information.
Taking this opportunity, Wu Tongling said to him in Japanese, "They won't dare to do anything to us! Shut up and recover your strength first, see what they're up to, and then make a plan."
Guan Hu immediately fell silent and replied in Korean, "I'll do whatever the master chef says!"
Then, Wu Tongling glanced at Qiu Zeyu with disdain and said, "What, you don't even recognize your master anymore? Let go of him right now, this is utterly disrespectful! All my careful cultivation of you two brothers during the hot summer and cold winter has been in vain."
Wu Tongling assumed that no one could understand the foreign language he was speaking to Guan Hu, and he never expected that Zhao Zhicheng and Lan Yamei were very familiar with Japanese and Korean! Lan Yamei had already quietly translated for Qiu Zeyu and explained that Wu Tongling was speaking Japanese.
Qiu Zeyu was seriously injured and unable to fight back, but he had long since lost faith in his master. If he hadn't found the hiding place yesterday and been secretly injured by the masked enemy, and if Lan Yamei and the others hadn't discovered him in time, he would probably be dead.
When he was trying to kill me yesterday, why didn't he mention our master-disciple relationship? Now that he's backing down and trying to build ties, he's putting on an act! Qiu Zeyu never realized Wu Tongling was this kind of person!
His face grew increasingly grim and terrifying, like a dark, stormy cloud. He coldly asked, "What's there to pretend for? You were the one who injured me in the masked yesterday, weren't you? One sword to the throat!"
Seeing that he couldn't argue his way out of it, Wu Tongling simply stopped pretending.
His face immediately changed to a sinister expression, and he said, "So what if it's me? Don't forget that a teacher for a day is a father for life! If a father wants his son to die, the son has no choice but to die. You shouldn't be alive, you know too much!" Wu Tongling wanted to use his master's attitude to intimidate Qiu Zeyu, after all, this disciple used to be the most obedient, and when asked to stand in the stance for 3 hours, he didn't dare to slack off for a minute, and even stood for an extra half hour.
Originally, he didn't want to reveal his identity; he only wanted to obtain the martial arts manual he had been longing for and then return to Japan. But now that their eyes were locked, there was no way to hide, so he steeled himself and decided to take control of the other party.
Suppressing his anger, Qiu Zeyu took a step closer, listened intently, and crouched down to ask, "What did you say?"
“I am your master! Once a teacher, always a teacher! Even if I am Japanese, so what? I didn’t beg your father to visit me three times! So, you’d better be sensible in front of me!” Wu Tongling stiffened his neck, his eyes fierce, his hands behind his back, and quietly untied the ropes.
No one expected that Qiu Zeyu would swing his arm and deliver a resounding slap to his master's face, causing blood to flow from the corner of Wu Tongling's mouth.
Before anyone could react, another three shots rang out!
Everyone was stunned! Such a memorable scene is rarely seen in real life.
"My master is buried in Flower Fruit Mountain! He's dead! He was a madman who only studied martial arts! He never did evil or killed innocent people! Who do you think you are? How dare you impersonate him and swindle people?" Qiu Zeyu said through gritted teeth.
Wu Tongling had no chance to fight back. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth as he was hit. He was not in a hurry or angry. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. He looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "You really are a wolf cub! I knew long ago that you would betray your master and ancestors! I taught you so many skills, but in the end, you only used them to fight me."
Qiu Zeyu slapped the other half of his face twice more, then cursed, "Still dare to spout nonsense! If you were truly my master, you should be lying obediently in the graveyard of Huaguo Mountain, turning into mud, waiting for reincarnation. My brother and I would never forget you, and we would offer you wine and meat every year! But now? You're alive, you've deceived everyone! What I can't tolerate the most is that you're actually a genuine Japanese! Do you know that the Japanese have committed countless atrocities in our coastal areas, burning, killing, and looting? As Chinese citizens, who wouldn't want to kill them! I wish I could kill you!"
Guan Hu was dumbfounded. His once high and mighty master, worshipped by all, was now a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. What a cruel twist of fate! He interjected, somewhat bitterly, "Master, your apprentice is truly a scoundrel!"
Lan Yamei and Zhao Zhicheng were momentarily at a loss for words, so they simply watched coldly to prevent the two from recovering their senses and running away.
The more Qiu Zeyu admired his master before, the more he loathed him now! He hated himself for ever having learned kung fu from such a person! Disgusting! Even more disgusting was that all these years he had been kneeling and bowing to an empty grave! Being played like a fool!
Just as Guan Hu was about to start cursing, Lan Yamei swiftly slapped him twice on the head, making Guan Hu furious. However, he couldn't break free and could only stare helplessly, cursing, "Rebellion! Rebellion!"
"Why did you climb onto my roof? Did you kill that family? Who ordered you to do it?" Lan Yamei asked.
Upon hearing this, Guan Hu's face darkened, and he dodged the question, saying, "Don't try to pin this on me! What family? Whose family are you talking about? I don't even know what you're saying, it's ridiculous!"
"Hua Yuhe was summoned to the Lin'an government office the very next day. Don't tell me you didn't know?" Lan Yamei stared intently into the other person's eyes. "She's your lover! Didn't she tell you?"
After saying that, he gave Wu Tongling a meaningful look!
It should be noted that Wu Tongling was willing to be instructed by Hua Yuhe for two reasons: firstly, he was suppressed by Nan Fangnan, and secondly, he had an affair with Hua Yuhe.
Lan Yamei strolled over and asked Wu Tongling, "Didn't she tell you?"
Wu Tongling shook his head with a wry smile, exchanged a knowing smile with Guan Hu, and secretly regretted falling for that woman's trick. He had only thought she was Nan Fangnan's secret lover, and that getting involved with her wouldn't be too bad for him. He never imagined she had so many lovers! A dazzling array of colors and bizarre shapes; he felt worse than if he had eaten shit!
