Chapter 682: Chu Liuxiang's Deduction Show

As the group set off from Jinling, the atmosphere underwent a noticeable shift.

Chu Liuxiang had been the target of two assassination attempts, and both times, Li Yuhuan and his wife had alibis for their absence. The second time, they even conveniently silenced the assassin.

Even if Chu Liuxiang didn't feel awkward, Li Yuhuan and his wife couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

So, for the remaining two days of the journey, Li Yu Han and his wife rode in one coach, while Chu Liuxiang and the other three took another, each group minding their own business.

Inside the coach, Chu Liuxiang analyzed the strange behavior of Li Yuhuan and his wife again, concluding that Liu Wumei was indeed the Eyebrow Bird and, for some reason, wanted him dead.

The first time, they had ample time to fabricate evidence, and the second time, they directly murdered the assassin.

"Liu Wumei's martial arts skills surpass Li Yuhuan's. If she's a disciple of Shi Guan Yin, then her Light Body Skills must be exceptional, as both Wu Hua and Qu Wuryong possess remarkable agility."

Chu Liuxiang explained, "And Li Yuhuan is a young master from an aristocratic family with limited experience in the jianghu. That's why he made a mistake when poisoning and was exposed by Jin."

Hu Tiehua furrowed her brows and asked, "But didn't the Eyebrow Bird save you in the Great Desert? Why would she want to kill you?"

"Although we were trapped in the Secret Valley, we had already escaped. Even if Ji Bingyan and Yan Dianhong hadn't fully recovered, they still had the strength to fight."

Chu Liuxiang said, "When she killed those people, it was more like she was using me as a scapegoat to repay a favor than actually saving me."

"In that case, given your character, even if you knew they wanted to kill you, you'd have no choice but to let them go." Hu Tiehua understood.

"Exactly." Chu Liuxiang nodded.

"The fact that they dared to lead us to Green Possession Manor suggests that Rongrong and the others might indeed be in their hands. But Shi Guan Yin didn't use them to threaten us, which indicates that these two incidents might just be coincidences." Chu Liuxiang analyzed.

"What kind of coincidence?" Hu Tiehua asked.

Chu Liuxiang explained, "If Liu Wumei is a disciple of Shi Guan Yin and has already married Li Yuhuan, it means Liu Wumei is Shi Guan Yin's undercover agent in the Central Plains.

This time, Shi Guan Yin is plotting to usurp the throne of the Kucha Kingdom and might be short on manpower, so she asked Liu Wumei to return and assist.

On her way back, Liu Wumei encountered Rongrong and the others and learned that we had also entered the Great Desert. Perhaps anticipating a potential conflict with Shi Guan Yin, she plotted against Rongrong and the others, sending them back to the Jiangnan region.

This could be because Liu Wumei didn't expect us to defeat Shi Guan Yin, or perhaps she left a backup plan. Either way, she didn't inform Shi Guan Yin, so Shi Guan Yin couldn't use Rongrong to threaten us.

After entering the Great Desert, Shi Guan Yin was about to usurp the Kucha Kingdom's throne and wanted to deal with everyone in the Secret Valley. She arranged for Liu Wumei to take action, but Liu Wumei discovered that we had already escaped. Unable to kill us, she pretended to do us a favor.

However, Shi Guan Yin's plan ultimately failed, and she was killed by Jin. Liu Wumei had no choice but to flee the Great Desert and secretly plot revenge for Shi Guan Yin.

Even during our first meeting, someone revealed our identities and mentioned the Eyebrow Bird in front of them, intending to prevent us from suspecting that they were the Eyebrow Bird."

Chu Liuxiang spoke, nodding seriously, feeling that his logical analysis was flawless.

However, after hearing this, Hu Tiehua turned to Jin Banhua and said, "But Shi Guan Yin was actually killed by Jin!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Shi Guan Yin clearly committed suicide!" Jin Banhua waved her hands hurriedly. "If someone really heard what you said and came after me for Shi Guan Yin's revenge, wouldn't I be wronged?"

Hu Tiehua was speechless. "Even if Shi Guan Yin were to come back to life, she couldn't beat you. Who else could you be afraid of seeking revenge for her?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "That's what I find strange. In the message released by Madam Qiu, it was us three who killed Shi Guanyin together. So even if Liu Wumei wants to avenge Shi Guanyin, she should be targeting the three of us."

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Jin Banhua, "And you, Jin, have revealed the least. If they were to make a move, they would likely target you first."

Jin Banhua nodded, "I appreciate your concern for me."

Hu Tiehua burst into laughter, "Perhaps it's because your martial arts are the most formidable, or maybe Liu Wumei believes you're the one who killed Shi Guanyin."

Chu Liuxiang forced a smile and nodded, "Perhaps that's what they think."

Chu Liuxiang's analysis was well-reasoned, leaving even Hu Tiehua unable to find a rebuttal.

"But if they already suspected you the first time, they must have seen through your act of being drunk the second time," Hu Tiehua frowned and said, "Which means they know you suspect them?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head and smiled, "Since I didn't expose them, they certainly won't expose themselves either."

Hu Tiehua widened her eyes, "So the trip to Green Possession Manor is definitely very dangerous!"

"Exactly," Chu Liuxiang nodded, "But there's also an advantage. Green Possession Manor is renowned, and when we arrive there, at least we won't have to worry about them using underhanded tactics."

Hu Tiehua looked at the Storm Lily Needles in her hand and sighed, "No wonder they discarded such precious hidden weapons. It turns out they were burdened by their reputation."

Chu Liuxiang turned to Jin Banhua, "The Li Yuhuan couple is mainly targeting me. Jin, are you still coming with us to Green Possession Manor?"

Jin Banhua raised an eyebrow, "You're not trying to find an excuse to get rid of me and shirk your responsibility for the White Jade Beauty, are you?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed and started rubbing his nose, "Although we've guessed that Liu Wumei is Shi Guanyin's disciple, we still lack evidence. Moreover, she is Li Yuhuan's wife and Li Guanyu's daughter-in-law."

Hu Tiehua said, "Li Yuhuan is being kept in the dark, so Liu Wumei can use him to mobilize the entire Green Possession Manor."

"The Li family of Green Possession Manor is a prominent martial arts clan," Chu Liuxiang explained, "Li Guanyu was once known as the number one swordsman in the world. He is upright and kind-hearted, having done favors for half of the Jiangnan martial arts world. Those thirty-one famous swords all looked up to him."

Hu Tiehua added, "Forget about thirty-one famous swords, even if a few of them show up, ordinary people wouldn't be able to handle it."

Jin Banhua nodded, "That's why I must go. If Chu Liuxiang dies, my White Jade Beauty will be gone forever. I can use Su Rongrong and the other two girls to settle the debt."

Chu Liuxiang was speechless.

Hu Tiehua asked, exasperated, "Aren't you afraid that Liu Wumei will also kill you to avenge Shi Guanyin?"

"If she wants to kill me, I'll kill her," Jin Banhua said matter-of-factly, "If Chu Liuxiang can't handle Green Possession Manor, you don't think I can't either?"

Jin Banhua pointed at herself, "I'm an unparalleled expert. A mere Green Possession Manor is nothing; I can kill them with just one sword!"

Hu Tiehua was speechless.

"Haven't you considered that if Chu Liuxiang encounters danger, you could lend a hand, and then he could help you retrieve the White Jade Beauty?" Hu Tiehua weakly suggested, "If you and Chu Liuxiang join forces, what place in the world could stop you?"

"Of course not!" Jin Banhua shook her head decisively, "If Chu Liuxiang is in danger, not only will I not help, but I'll also kick him while he's down and watch him suffer."
