Chapter 184 A person who doesn't like to practice martial arts becomes a peerless master!

"Second brother, this time I still have the entire Beggars' Sect. We can survive this crisis thanks to you."

After all the people in the Beggars' Sect were detoxified, Qiao Feng said to Chu Yuan.

"Everyone is fine."

Chu Yuan said.

"What the leader said makes sense. If it weren't for you saving the day, the leader, I, and the entire Beggars' Sect would have been in trouble."

Ma Dayuan also said.

"The Beggars' Sect would also like to thank the Green Lotus Envoy."

"It was thanks to the efforts of the Qinglian Envoy that our Beggars' Sect was able to escape danger this time."

"I didn't expect that Xixia Yipintang would be so ambitious and attack at this time."

The other elders and leaders of the Beggar Gang who had been detoxified also spoke up.

"Don't be too quick to thank me yet. Your Beggars' Sect is fine now, but your Beggars' Sect used the name of our Murong family and our young master to eliminate the traitor and that vicious woman just now. Shouldn't we settle this account together?"

Just then, Bao Bu Tong's voice came from the side.

This immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yuan, Qiao Feng and other members of the Beggar Gang.

"That's right. You, the Beggars' Sect, must give our Murong family an explanation for this matter."

After being detoxified, Feng Boye stood up again and said.

Chu Yuan said, "Everyone, Master only faked his death. The ones who framed you were Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing, two traitors in the gang. I have just killed them. I have avenged you. If you put it this way, you should thank me. And when those traitors framed your young master just now, it was our gang leader who pleaded for you and let you go."

A-Bi whispered, "Now that the person is dead, naturally what you say is what counts."

Ah Zhu quickly stopped him and said, "Abi!"

Then Ah Zhu said to Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng, "Boss Qiao, Young Master Chu, no matter what, we have to thank you. Thank you for clearing our son's name."

What Chu Yuan said was not without reason.

In any case, just now Qiao Feng let those traitors go even if it meant offending them, so they should indeed be grateful to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng smiled and said, "It's okay. Master Murong is also a victim. This is what we should do."

Ah Zhu invited, "This place is not far from Yanziwu. You guys from the Beggars' Sect have come from afar. Would you like to visit my Murong family's Yanziwu? Gang Leader Qiao and Young Hero Chu are both heroes of the time. They may be able to get along well with my young master."

Qiao Feng declined: "That's not necessary. The Beggars' Sect has just experienced a great turmoil and there are still many things that need to be dealt with."

Chu Yuan said: "Me too."

Ah Zhu bowed and said, "Then we will take our leave first."

"Everyone, take care."

Qiao Feng watched Azhu, Abi, Wang Yuyan, Bao Bu Tong, Feng Bo'e and others leave.

Only Duan Yu was left reluctant to leave. He looked at Wang Yuyan's back with distraught feeling, as if his soul was almost hooked away.

"Third brother, since you can't bear to leave Miss Wang, why don't you leave with them and go to Yanziwu for a visit?"

Chu Yuan looked at Duan Yu and smiled.

"Second brother, you are joking. Miss Azhu just invited only the eldest brother and the second brother, but not me."

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Duan Yu came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he had already been to Yanziwu and was almost used as fertilizer by Mrs. Wang.

Later, seeing that Miss Wang was concerned about her cousin, and feeling upset because he was treated as an outsider by the foul-mouthed Bao Bu Tong, he went to Wuxi City to drink, where he met Qiao Feng and followed Qiao Feng to the apricot forest.

"Why, Third Brother, are you attracted to one of those girls?"

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Qiao Feng came to his senses.

"No, it's just that Miss Wang looks a lot like a fairy sister I've seen."

Qiao Feng's words made Duan Yu as angry as a monkey's butt, his face turned red, and he whispered.

"Fairy sister?"

Qiao Feng didn't understand and didn't know who Duan Yu was talking about. He just thought that the Miss Wang just now looked very similar to a girl Duan Yu had met before.

"Brother, what are your plans next?"

Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng.

"I do not know either."

Qiao Feng was at a loss for a moment.

"Second brother, is my Khitan identity true or false?"

Until now, Qiao Feng still suspected that Kang Min deliberately found Shan Zheng, Tan Gong and Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, Xu Changlao and others to fabricate an identity of a Khitan to frame him.

"Brother, do you think it's important whether you are a Song or a Khitan?"

Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng in return.

Qiao Feng was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He continued, "I just don't know if I would still be qualified to continue to sit in the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect if I were a Khitan."

Chu Yuan looked at Qiao Feng and smiled: "Brother, whether you think you are a Song or Khitan is actually your own decision. It also depends on whether you want to be a Song or a Khitan!"

Qiao Feng probably understood what Chu Yuan meant. He thought for a moment and said, "But if I were a Khitan, those Song people killed my parents, but I am still helping the Song Dynasty now, what's the difference between this and recognizing a thief as my father?"

Chu Yuan said: "Whether it is the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, or the Western Xia Dynasty, there are both bad people and good people. If your identity as a Khitan is real, then those people back then, regardless of whether they were good or bad, did do something wrong, and if you do something wrong, you must pay the price. You can completely seek revenge on them."

Qiao Feng murmured, "Revenge?"

Chu Yuan said: "As for whether you are a Khitan or not, it is very simple. Just find the leader who participated in this incident and ask him the truth!"

Ma Dayuan said from the side: "Boss, what Yuan'er said makes sense. Whether you are a Song or Khitan depends on which country you want to be. If you have any doubts about your origins, you can find out by yourself."

Chu Yuan looked at Mr. and Mrs. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, Shan Zheng, Master Zhiguang and others who were not far away and had not left yet: "Aren't the people who know the truth here? Ask them to reveal the identity of the leader, and the leader will know it himself."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Zhao Qiansun immediately took a few steps back and said with a vigilant look: "Don't even think about it. We will never reveal the identity of the leader even if we die."

"Amitabha!" Master Zhiguang chanted a Buddhist name: "The past is gone. The Beggars' Sect and Boss Qiao have survived the crisis. It is a cause for celebration. What happened back then was a misunderstanding. For the sake of the overall situation, Boss Qiao, please don't dwell on the past hatred."

"It's easy for you to say that. It's not like your parents were killed." Qiao Feng said angrily, "And if this incident hadn't happened, I would still be kept in the dark."

"Since you are not going to tell me who the leader was, but you were also involved in what happened back then, please stay in the Beggars' Sect for a while. Once I find out the whole story, I will let you go."

Qiao Feng said immediately.

He planned to detain Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, and Mr. and Mrs. Tan first, and then release them after finding out the truth of the matter.

"Qiao Feng, you barbarian! Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, and Mr. and Mrs. Tan are all famous seniors in the martial arts world. How dare you imprison them?"

Upon hearing that Qiao Feng was going to lock up these four people, Shan Zheng, who had just been poisoned by "Beisu Qingfeng" and had just recovered from the poison, immediately cursed.

These four people are all his good friends and came here at his invitation.

If he were imprisoned by Qiao Feng, his reputation would plummet.

"Are you and your father going to leave or not? If not, then don't leave and stay in the Beggars' Sect, right?"

Chu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to Shan Zheng and spoke to Shan Zheng's five sons, who were known as the "Shan Family Five Tigers" in the martial arts world.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go now."

Shan Zheng's five sons said hurriedly.

Then they covered their father's mouth, and Shan Zheng, who was still talking nonsense and scolding Qiao Feng and Chu Yuan, left Xinglin.

They were afraid that their old father would anger Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng is not bad. He is a decent person and rarely kills people, especially those who are righteous.

But Chu Yuan...

After seeing the scene when Chu Yuan killed someone just now, he was simply a murderer who killed people without blinking an eye.

If they didn't know what was good for them and angered Chu Yuan, who killed them father and son, they would be very unlucky.

After the Shan father and son left, some Beggar Gang disciples "invited" Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, and Mr. and Mrs. Tan to leave together.

They had all just been poisoned by the "Beisu Qingfeng" gas. Although they had just been detoxified, their hands and feet were sore and weak that they had no power to resist at all. They could only accept their fate and be taken away.

"Brother, you'd better go back to your adoptive parents' home!"

Chu Yuan reminded Qiao Feng.

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

Qiao Feng was puzzled.

"I just thought about it carefully... If what Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun and others said before was true, then why did they suddenly receive news that Khitan warriors were planning to steal the Shaolin martial arts manual, and why did they happen to meet your biological parents?"

"They also mistook them for Khitan warriors who were plotting to steal the Shaolin Kung Fu Atlas. I think there must be something unusual going on. This doesn't seem like a coincidence, but rather a sign of human intervention!"

Chu Yuan revealed some of the information he knew to Qiao Feng.

When Master Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun were talking about Qiao Feng's life story, he had already remembered that the tragedy of Qiao Feng's life story actually had deeper reasons.

In fact, this incident was a conflict deliberately provoked by Murong Bo, the father of Murong Fu, who faked his death, in order to restore the country.

"Second brother, are you saying that all this is not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose? Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, and the so-called leader are all pawns instigated by someone?"

Because he had just been framed, Qiao Feng's upright and generous character changed a lot in an instant. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Chu Yuan meant.

"Otherwise, all of this is too coincidental and really doesn't make sense." Chu Yuan nodded and said, "If everything back then was a conspiracy, now that you know your life story, it's hard to be sure whether the person behind the scenes is secretly watching you and planning to target you. In this case, your adoptive parents, master, and everyone who is close to you are easy targets."

The person who killed Qiao Feng's adoptive parents was Qiao Feng's biological father Xiao Yuanshan.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, those who were involved in the Yanmen Pass incident that year and killed by Xiao Yuanshan were those who did something wrong, and this was the price they should pay.

However, Qiao Feng's adoptive parents were just ordinary farmers and farm women living at the foot of Mount Shaoshi, and Qiao Feng's master, Master Xuan Ku, were all innocent people, but they raised and taught Qiao Feng.

Chu Yuan tried his best to prevent Xiao Yuanshan from killing innocent people. Otherwise, even if the father and son recognized each other in the future, there would be an irreconcilable gap between the two sides.

Chu Yuan's words made Qiao Feng lose his composure all of a sudden, because after hearing what Chu Yuan said, he actually felt that this matter was not impossible.

"No matter whether you are a Song or Khitan, your feelings for your adoptive parents who raised you should be genuine, right?"

Chu Yuan then asked Qiao Feng.

"That's natural."

Qiao Feng nodded.

"Brother Ma, Second Brother, I'll leave you two to deal with the Beggars' Sect. I have to go back to Shaoshi Mountain now. I hope it's not too late."

Qiao Feng immediately said with an anxious look.

Regardless of whether Chu Yuan’s speculation is true or false, it is always a good idea to take precautions before they happen.

Chu Yuan declined politely: "Let Master handle the gang's affairs. I haven't been out of the gang for a long time. I want to play in Jiangnan for a while."

After hearing what Chu Yuan said, Qiao Feng could only entrust this matter to Ma Dayuan.

He looked at Ma Dayuan and said, "Brother Ma, I will entrust the affairs of the gang to you for the time being."

When Ma Dayuan heard that the gang leader and his disciple were pushing the gang's affairs onto him, he immediately said angrily, "You are all busy, and I am the only one who has nothing to do."

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Master, you are going through a big change now. It's good to handle more gang affairs so that you don't have any wild thoughts. After this period of time, with your status as the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, you can marry a virtuous and beautiful master's wife, and then you can forget about Kang Min."

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, Ma Dayuan felt that there was some truth in it.

Ma Dayuan said: "Forget it, leave the gang's affairs to me."

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said to Qiao Feng, "Brother, I will meet you at Shaoshi Mountain after I have a tour of Jiangnan."

Qiao Feng said, "Okay then."

Qiao Feng thought of Duan Yu beside him again. He looked at Duan Yu and asked, "Third brother, where are you going next?"

Duan Yu was reluctant to leave Wang Yuyan. He thought for a while and said, "Brother, I'd better stay in Jiangnan with my second brother. We will meet up with you at Shaoshi Mountain later!"

Qiao Feng said, "Okay then."

The group then parted ways in the apricot forest.

……

After Qiao Feng went to Shaoshi Mountain and Ma Dayuan led the beggars of the Beggar Gang back to Luoyang, Chu Yuan and Duan Yu came to Wuxi City.

It was already late at night when the two of them found an inn to stay in Wuxi City.

"Brother Chu, I have prepared a table of wine and food, please come and do me a favor!"

Duan Yu ran over and knocked on Chu Yuan's door.

Chu Yuan, the newly recognized second brother, had been showing his prowess in the apricot forest during the day, turning the tide and saving the Beggars' Sect from dire straits, which was very fascinating. Duan Yu wanted to get close to Chu Yuan and improve their relationship.

Chu Yuan finished his practice and opened the door, only to see Duan Yu, wearing a Confucian robe, standing outside.

"Let's go."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Chu Yuan closed the door and went to Duan Yu's room with Duan Yu.

As expected, Duan Yu prepared a table of wine and food.
After inviting Chu Yuan to take a seat, Duan Yu took two porcelain bowls. After he poured the wine, he smiled and explained to Chu Yuan: "Don't blame me, second brother. When I drank with my elder brother before, I was used to using bowls."

Chu Yuan clinked glasses with Duan Yu, and while Chu Yuan drank the wine in the bowl, he said, "Just don't use your internal energy to force the wine out of your body."

Chu Yuan's words made Duan Yu pause. Feeling a little guilty, he stole a glance at Chu Yuan's expression. Seeing that Chu Yuan looked normal, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"It must be just a coincidence. Otherwise, how would this second brother know that when my eldest brother and I were drinking, I used my internal energy to secretly force the alcohol out of our bodies? He was not there at the time."

Duan Yu said to himself.

Then the two of them started chatting while eating and drinking!

Duan Yu used to be the prince of Dali. He had few close friends, and was even more straightforward. He trusted his two new brothers, Qiao Feng and Chu Yuan, very much. He told Chu Yuan about his identity and his experiences along the way without hiding anything.

Especially when he talked about the evil Tibetan monk Jiumozhi, who abducted him, and then he escaped all the way, and the evil monk chased him all the way, even to the south of the Yangtze River, he looked extremely angry.

Chu Yuan said: "Didn't you practice the family-inherited "Six Meridians Divine Sword" and use it to deal with the evil monk?"

Duan Yu was somewhat discouraged: "I am no match for him."

Chu Yuan looked at Duan Yu in front of him. This kid has had many adventures since he entered the martial arts world. He should have achieved three great feats by now.

They are "Lingbo Weibu", "Beiming Shengong" and "Six Meridians Divine Sword" respectively.

Now that he has acquired considerable martial arts skills, the reason why he was defeated by Jiumozhi is probably because he lacked experience in facing the enemy and his martial arts skills were sometimes effective and sometimes not.

"Do you want to seek revenge on that evil monk?"

Chu Yuan put down the wine bowl in his hand and asked Duan Yu.

It just so happened that he had never fought with a real master in this world.

The previous sparring with the eldest brother Qiao Feng does not count. In the apricot forest, the four evil men saw that the situation was not right and fled again.

Now, Jiumozhi should still be in Jiangnan. If I can fight with Jiumozhi, I can also see my current strength.

"Second brother, are you going to seek revenge for me?"

When Duan Yu heard Chu Yuan ask this, he felt a little surprised and delighted.

"I just feel like I'm itching to fight someone. Do you know where Jiumozhi is now?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"Of course we know that. The three of us left that big monk on the island of 'Tingyuju'. He must still be wandering around that area now!"

Duan Yu said immediately.

He did not doubt whether Chu Yuan was a match for the evil Tibetan monk.

He had already seen his second brother's martial arts in the apricot forest, and he felt that his second brother's martial arts were at least on par with that evil monk.

"Then we will go look for the monk tomorrow."

Chu Yuan said.

"Thank you, big brother. By the way, big brother, can you teach me some martial arts?"

Then Duan Yu said to Chu Yuan a little embarrassedly.

"Aren't you not interested in martial arts?"

Chu Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

From what Duan Yu said before, he was more interested in Buddhism and the Book of Changes. If Jiumozhi hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have been forced by the Dali royal family to practice the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

"Originally, I have no interest in martial arts, but every time Miss Wang mentions her cousin, she says that her cousin is a martial arts master and a rare hero in the world. If I could have martial arts as good as you and my eldest brother, and Miss Wang could look up to me, or praise me like she did her cousin, I would be satisfied!"

Duan Yu spoke out his true thoughts.

Chu Yuan: ...

This cheap brother that Big Brother Qiao Feng adopted for himself is really a bootlicker.

It was only for women that he became interested in learning martial arts.

Chu Yuan really couldn't comment on this kind of behavior.

Chu Yuan said: "I will help you check the cause and then teach you martial arts."

Chu Yuan did not refuse. For him, it was just a piece of cake.

As he spoke, Chu Yuan placed his right hand on Duan Yu's left shoulder and probed a trace of his internal energy into Duan Yu's body, preparing to check the situation inside Duan Yu's body.

As a result, as soon as this strand of internal energy penetrated into him, it immediately lost contact with him.

"what!"

Chu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and he inputted his internal energy again, but this time he increased the amount.

This time, Chu Yuan was indeed able to sense what was happening inside Duan Yu's body.

It was seen that there was a vortex suction force in every acupuncture point in Duan Yu's body.

The internal energy that Chu Yuan had just probed into Duan Yu's body was too weak, so it was immediately absorbed by these whirlpools, so Chu Yuan lost the sense of it.

Fortunately, the amount of internal force that Chu Yuan injected into Duan Yu's body this time was huge, and the vortex suction on these acupoints lost its effect on him.

Not only that, when Chu Yuan's internal force reached Duan Yu's Dantian Qi Sea, Chu Yuan discovered that a large vortex had formed in Duan Yu's Dantian Qi Sea, rotating from the outside to the inside at high speed, and was absorbing all the external true energy and internal strength!
The moment the vortex sensed Chu Yuan's internal force, it began to move, sucking Chu Yuan's internal force. Chu Yuan immediately took the internal force back into his body.

"I see. No wonder you said you absorbed a lot of people's inner strength along the way!"

Chu Yuan said to Duan Yu.

"Can you control the inner energy in your body?"

Chu Yuan asked Duan Yu.

Duan Yu looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's a bit difficult!"

Chu Yuan said: "The internal forces in your body are absorbed by you from others, so it is not smooth to control them. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If you want to control these internal forces and release them freely, you should practice your "Northern Divine Art" more often. Do you practice it normally?"

Duan Yu shook his head again in embarrassment.

Chu Yuan: ...

what is this!
A person who doesn't like practicing martial arts, but later becomes a peerless master?

Chu Yuan said: "Anyway, if you want Miss Wang to look at you with a higher regard, you should work harder on your own."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Duan Yu suddenly became energetic.
