Chapter 728: Hu Tiehua Faces Two Tigresses

After enjoying the fine wine and delicacies, Jin Banhua returned to her own ship.

As the night breeze blew, they admired the bright moon.

Li Yuhuan approached Jin Banhua, "My family is from Jiangnan, and I've never heard of Bat Island, but Yuan Suoyun received an invitation from them."

Jin Banhua smiled, "That just proves you don't have any secrets that Bat Island can use against you."

Liu Wumei also joined them, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, "Whether Bat Island knows nothing about me or can't cure my poison, it shows they are inferior to Divine Water Palace and not as capable as Brother Jin."

Yan Dianhong and Hua Zhenzhen also stepped out of the cabin.

Yan Dianhong asked, "Will it be dangerous for Chu Liuxiang and the others to stay on Yuan Suoyun's ship?"

Jin Banhua laughed, "Yuan Suoyun is a future contender for the top spot in the world, how could there be any danger on his ship?"

"I don't know either," Yan Dianhong shook her head, "I always feel that Bat Island isn't a good place, and those invited there have their own secrets. We can't trust them."

Hua Zhenzhen glanced at Jin Lingzhi, "That's not necessarily true. Jiangzuo Lan's invitation was because of an ancient medical manuscript handwritten by their ancestor, wasn't it?"

Hua Zhenzhen looked around and seeing no outsiders nearby, she no longer held back, "I wonder if Kumei Master and the others have already arrived on the island."

"Kumei Master is exceptionally skilled, you don't need to worry," Hua Zhenzhen reassured her, "Back then, my master was arrogant, but even he didn't dare to cause trouble for Kumei Master on Mount Hua."

Hua Zhenzhen nodded, "I hope so."

After a brief chat, Li Yuhuan and the others returned to their respective places.

Hua Zhenzhen shot a glance at Jin Banhua, "It's getting late, aren't you going to rest?"

Just as Jin Banhua was about to make a joke, she noticed two people on the deck of the ship across from them. Although the ships were a distance apart, the night was bright, and a lamp hung at the bow of the other ship, allowing her to vaguely make out a man and a woman.

"Is it Hu Tiehua and Jin Lingzhi?" Hua Zhenzhen asked curiously, "It's the middle of the night, what are they doing out here?"

Jin Banhua replied, "It's as if we don't stay on the deck in the middle of the night."

Hua Zhenzhen said, "But we're already heading back, and they've just come out."

Jin Banhua countered, "In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone, what do you think they're up to?"

Hua Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, "Really? Right here on the deck?"

Jin Banhua looked at Hua Zhenzhen in shock.

Hua Zhenzhen coughed lightly and said seriously, "They're just staying on the deck to enjoy the night breeze, but what if they catch a cold?"

Yuan Suoyun's ship was elegant, with a solitary lamp hanging at its bow, so Jin Banhua could see Hu Tiehua, but Hu Tiehua couldn't see Jin Banhua.

Then, they saw Jin Lingzhi take out some wine and start drinking with Hu Tiehua.

Then, they saw Jin Lingzhi stumble slightly and grasp Hu Tiehua's hand for support.

Then, they watched as Jin Lingzhi slowly poured the wine into the sea.

Then, they saw Hu Tiehua grasp Jin Lingzhi's other hand.

Hua Zhenzhen's eyes sparkled.

Although she was of noble status and exceptional skill, she was still a young woman, and her curiosity burned. She hid behind the ship's bow wall, watching with great interest.

"With their fiery and explosive personalities, I never expected they would actually develop feelings for each other," Hua Zhenzhen laughed.

The next moment, they saw Jin Lingzhi suddenly throw the wine bottle, and a slender jade hand reached out from the shadows behind the cabin door to catch it.

Hu Tiehua quickly followed, smashing the thrown bottle with a palm strike and leaping into the cabin.

Jin Lingzhi also followed, seemingly unable to find the culprit, and after exchanging a few words with Hu Tiehua, she suddenly became cold towards him again, turning back on her own.

As she watched Hu Tiehua's figure disappear, Hua Zhenzhen's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Jin Banhua asked, knowing full well.

"It's Gao Yanan!" Hua Zhenzhen said firmly.

"There's a lantern hanging on Hu Tiehua's boat, so they couldn't see, but the moonlight was bright earlier, and when she threw the wine bottle back, I clearly saw it was Gao Yanan!"

Hua Zhenzhen frowned, "Why is Gao Yanan on that boat? Is Kumei Master there? We just had a meal on that boat, why didn't they show themselves?"

Jin Banhua affirmed, "Because they have something to hide."

Hua Zhenzhen said, "..."

Hua Zhenzhen thought for a moment and then realized, "Kumei Master is disguised as Lady Lan right now, but Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua know them, so that's why they didn't appear?"

Jin Banhua almost laughed out loud, nodding decisively, "That makes sense."

"Of course, it makes sense!" Hua Zhenzhen hummed lightly and turned back to the cabin.

...

The next day, the two boats sailed side by side.

When Jin Banhua saw Hu Tiehua again, she noticed his bitter expression, looking haggard as if he had been tormented by two tigresses the entire previous night.

"Brother Hu, did you see a ghost last night?" Jin Banhua teased.

"I did," Hu Tiehua admitted listlessly, "I not only saw a ghost..."

"He saw a beautiful female ghost!" Jin Lingzhi suddenly appeared, not even glancing at Hu Tiehua.

Hu Tiehua didn't pay attention to Jin Lingzhi either. Instead, he pulled Chu Liuxiang and Zhang San aside and spoke loudly, his voice loud enough for everyone on both boats to hear, knowing that Hu Tiehua, the old man, was well-traveled and generous.

It was clear that Jin Lingzhi was putting on a show for Hu Tiehua, and Hu Tiehua was doing the same for Jin Lingzhi and Gao Yanan.

Yan Dianhong stepped out of the cabin, looking at the other boat in surprise, "What's wrong with Brother Hu?"

Liu Wumei was observant and quickly figured it out, "What happened between him and Jin Lingzhi?"

Li Yuhuan shook his head and laughed, "What else could happen between a man and a woman? I thought with Hu Tiehua's personality, he would find a gentle and considerate woman, but I never expected it to be the daughter of Wan Fu Wan Shou Yuan."

Liu Wumei hummed, "What's wrong with Jin Lingzhi? Hu Tiehua is impulsive and rash, so finding a strong-willed woman might help keep him in check."

Li Yuhuan nodded repeatedly, "That's exactly right!"

At that moment, the boat passed through a swarm of warm water, and countless fish swam beneath it, so dense they resembled a mighty river formed by the fish.

Yuan Suoyun stepped out of the cabin, his voice gentle as he smiled, "With such a beautiful moonlit night, even I feel my heart expanding. I've heard that Mr. Zhang San's quick net fishing skills are unmatched in the world. Now that we've arrived at the fishing season, let's open our eyes to this spectacle, shall we?"

Jin Banhua's eyes lit up.

He had assumed that with Hua Zhenzhen no longer by Kumei Master's side, Kumei Master wouldn't need to fake her death to escape, and he wouldn't get to witness the famous scene from the original story where she caught four women with her net.

It seemed that Yuan Suoyun was still going to carry out the original plan.

Why? Jin Banhua turned to look at Hua Zhenzhen, wondering if it was because they had boarded the boat yesterday, and Kumei Master had seen Hua Zhenzhen, so she still needed to die once more in front of her?
