Chapter 200: Manly Behavior

Wang Yuyan's psychological endurance is much stronger than Duan Yu's.

After she learned the truth from Chu Yuan, she did not lose her composure like Duan Yu did.

Just became a little silent.

Chu Yuan felt that it might be because this matter did not involve the core issue that Wang Yuyan was concerned about.

That’s Murong Fu!

Wang Yuyan will not collapse when she finds out that she is Duan Zhengchun's daughter and that she and Duan Yu are biological siblings, because she has never liked Duan Yu from the beginning to the end.

She might collapse only after she found out that she and Murong Fu were siblings.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, Wang Yuyan's girlish mind is all on Murong Fu, and she likes her cousin Murong Fu wholeheartedly.

She was indifferent to everything except Murong Fu, and didn't care much about it, even her mother.

Even though Murong Fu later killed her mother Li Qingluo and her cousin Murong Fu went crazy, she had no hatred towards him at all. She chose to leave Duan Yu, return to Murong Fu, and take care of the crazy Murong Fu.

Seven days later.

After a long journey, Chu Yuan and his group of four returned to Luoyang City together.

The streets in the city are bustling with people walking and cars, and shops are full of people coming and going.

This was not the first time Chu Yuan and A Zi came here. They were both very familiar with Luoyang City and were no longer surprised by everything in the city.

On the contrary, it was Wang Yuyan, who came to Luoyang City for the first time and rarely traveled far, and looked at everything in Luoyang City with great interest.

The four of them crossed the street and soon arrived at the mansion where the Beggars' Gang in West City was headquartered.

Chu Yuan's identity is now completely different from what it used to be. He is not only the only top master in the Beggar Gang whose martial arts ability can be comparable to that of the gang leader Qiao Feng, but also the Green Lotus Messenger who has the power of law enforcement.

"Greetings to the Green Lotus Messenger!"

"Greetings to the Green Lotus Messenger!"

……

So as soon as Chu Yuan returned to the Beggars' Sect headquarters, all the Beggars' Sect disciples who saw Chu Yuan along the way bowed to him.

"Ok!"

Chu Yuan put his hands behind his back and nodded.

"Brother Chu, you are so powerful in the Beggars' Sect, just like my brother-in-law."

Ah Zi saw this scene and said.

When she was in the Beggars' Sect before, she only saw one person who was treated with courtesy by these stinky beggars, and that was her brother-in-law, Qiao Feng.

As for her...

Although he was treated with courtesy in the Beggars' Sect because of his sister Azhu, it was only on the surface.

To put it bluntly, the reason why she was treated with courtesy was because of her brother-in-law, Qiao Feng.

"good."

Chu Yuan said.

In fact, he hadn't returned to the Beggars' Sect for a long time.

The last time they left the Beggars' Sect, Kang Min was trying to murder Ma Dayuan. He and Ma Dayuan took advantage of the situation and Ma Dayuan faked his death to frame Kang Min.

"Second brother, you're back!"

Arriving at the courtyard where Qiao Feng lived, Chu Yuan had just walked in when he heard a familiar voice that sounded surprising.

Chu Yuan took a look and found that it was Qiao Feng, whom he had not seen for a long time. Qiao Feng was standing in the yard. Azhu had just tidied up his clothes and they were walking outside together. It seemed that he was preparing to go out.

"Brother Qiao, you are at home!"

Chu Yuan was a little surprised to see Qiao Feng at home.

As soon as he returned to the Beggars' Sect, he went to Qiao Feng's residence to meet Qiao Feng, but he didn't expect that Qiao Feng was at home.

"I was just about to go out to take care of some gang business."

Qiao Feng said.

"I was worried about where you were going, second brother. I heard from Brother Ma that he met you on Leigu Mountain. Are you finally willing to come back?"

Qiao Feng walked up to Chu Yuan and patted him on the shoulder.

"I wanted to visit some martial arts masters before, so I went to Leigushan."

Chu Yuan explained.

At this time, Ah Zhu also came over. She looked at Ah Zi behind Chu Yuan and said, "Young Master Chu, thanks to you for taking care of Ah Zi. Otherwise, I would really be worried that Ah Zi would be in danger outside."

Ever since Wu Changfeng and Ma Dayuan came back from Leigushan, she learned from them that A Zi had appeared in Leigushan. They were going to take her back to the Beggars' Sect, but she sneaked away on the way.

Chu Yuan said, "Miss A Zi and I met at Leigu Mountain. When she heard that I was going back to the Beggars' Sect, and we were going the same way, she came back with me."

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, A Zi, who was standing next to him, curled her lips.

Chu Yuan glanced at Ah Zhu, then at Qiao Feng and said, "It seems that Miss Ah Zhu's injury should have healed. Speaking of which, I have to call Miss Ah Zhu sister-in-law from now on."

Just now, the sight of Ah Zhu helping Qiao Feng tidy up his clothes in the yard before he went out, coupled with Qiao Feng's happy expression, made it obvious that the two had already decided to spend their lives together. No wonder Ah Zi called Qiao Feng brother-in-law.

Ah Zhu's face flashed with shame when she heard this, and her face turned red. She lowered her head and said, "We haven't gotten married yet, so just call me Miss Ah Zhu."

However, Qiao Feng was very firm in his attitude. He grabbed Ah Zhu's delicate hand and said, "Second brother is not an outsider. Why are you shy?"

Ah Zhu struggled twice, but failed to break free, so she accepted it.

When Ah Zi saw this scene, she curled her lips again. When she was in the Beggars' Sect, these two people often showed their affection in front of her.

Now that I'm back, it's started all over again.

A-Bi and Wang Yuyan felt different when they saw this scene.

Ah Bi saw that the sister who grew up with her had already secretly married Qiao Feng. Now that she had a man worthy of entrusting her life to, she would probably be the only one left in Yanziwu.

Wang Yuyan looked at Azhu and Qiao Feng, with a look of envy on her face.

She also liked her cousin, but unfortunately her cousin was obsessed with restoring his country and achieving martial arts, and was completely unaware of her feelings.

It is also possible that I noticed it but didn't take it to heart.

Qiao Feng then said to Chu Yuan, "Second brother, if you come back any later, you won't be able to drink at your sister-in-law and I's wedding."

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that I came back just in time. Congratulations to you two, and I wish you two lovers will finally get married."

In the original plot, the fates of Azhu and Qiao Feng were both too tragic.

Because Azhu was misled by Kang Min, she mistakenly believed that her father Duan Zhengchun was the leader, and was willing to die for her father Duan Zhengchun, and died at the hands of Qiao Feng.

Later, after Qiao Feng killed Azhu, he realized that it was all a misunderstanding. It was the vicious woman Kang Min who deliberately misled him. He was always suffering from the condemnation of his conscience.

Perhaps it was because of his guilt towards Ah Zhu that, even though he knew Ah Zi was willful and did not care about the lives of ordinary people, he still shared his rights with her without reservation and was very tolerant towards Ah Zi. He was compensating for his guilt towards Ah Zhu on Ah Zi.

In the end, because of the conflicting feelings about growing up in the Song Dynasty but having Liao blood, he chose to commit suicide.

Now, because of his appearance, not only did Qiao Feng avoid being framed, but Azhu was also able to survive. This probably also gave Qiao Feng the strength to continue living.

Qiao Feng said, "I have to thank you, my second brother. Not only did you save me from Kang Min's false accusation, but you also saved Ah Zhu. We both deserve your gratitude."

Chu Yuan said: "Brother Qiao, we are all brothers, don't worry about these."

After hearing this, Qiao Feng laughed and said, "That's right, we are all brothers, don't worry about this."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Ah Zhu and said, "Ah Zhu, I won't deal with the gang affairs today. I'll go another day. My second brother is coming back today, and I want to welcome him back."

Ah Zhu looked at Qiao Feng and smiled, "Okay, I'll make some Jiangnan dishes so you can have a taste of my cooking skills."

When she called Chu Yuan "Second Brother", she was acknowledging the relationship between her and Qiao Feng.

Ah Zhu was familiar with Ah Bi and Wang Yuyan, so she called them and Ah Zi to chat and help.

Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng entered the hall. Azhu served them tea. Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng drank tea while talking about their experiences during this period.

Chu Yuan simply told Qiao Feng what had happened to him in the past year or so. After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Qiao Feng who was sitting in the main seat and asked, "Brother Qiao, how is your background investigation going? Have you met your biological father?"

When Qiao Feng heard Chu Yuan asking about this, he looked a little unnatural. After a moment of silence, Qiao Feng said:
"Second brother, you are my brother, and I will not hide this from you. In fact, after we parted at Shaolin Temple last year, not long after I returned to the Beggars' Sect, Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, Master Zhiguang, and Zhao Qiansun were killed."

"At the time, this incident caused panic in the Beggars' Sect and in the martial arts world. People like Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, Master Zhiguang, and Zhao Qiansun, who were all very high-ranking in the martial arts world, and their relatives and friends also came to the Beggars' Sect to seek revenge on me, saying that I had killed them. Fortunately, my brothers in the Beggars' Sect believed me and testified for me, which allowed me to overcome this difficult time."

"Not long after, he...finally showed up!"

Chu Yuan put down the teacup and looked at Qiao Feng: "Your father?"

Qiao Feng said, "Yes, his name is Xiao Yuanshan. He was originally the chief instructor of the personal army of Empress Xiao of Liao. He was highly appreciated by Empress Xiao and trusted by her."

"Since Empress Xiao was close to the Southern Song Dynasty, and my mother was also from the Southern Song Dynasty, he was committed to the good relations between the Song and Liao dynasties. However, when he was taking my mother home to visit her parents, they were attacked by a large number of Central Plains masters. My mother was killed, and he jumped off a cliff with her body. After jumping off the cliff, he unexpectedly survived."

Chu Yuan picked up the teacup again and used the lid to skim the foam on the surface of the cup to the edge: "What did he ask you to do?"

Qiao Feng said, "He asked me to join forces with him to avenge my mother. He also admitted that he was the one who killed Mr. Tan, Mr. Zhiguang, and Mr. Zhao Qiansun, because these people participated in the murder of my mother."

Chu Yuan said: "These people killed your mother without asking any questions. Although they were unaware of the situation, your father killed them to avenge himself, which is understandable."

Qiao Feng's eyes were red. "What I couldn't stand was that he wanted to do something to my adoptive parents and master. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have returned to Shaoshi Mountain in time. I'm afraid I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

Chu Yuan said: "You asked him, what did he say?"

Qiao Feng clenched his fists. "He said he just wanted to sever my emotional ties with the Song Dynasty, push me to the opposite side of the Song Dynasty, and make me helpless and stand on the side of the Liao Dynasty, so that I can avenge my mother with peace of mind."

Looking at the veins bulging on Qiao Feng's clenched right fist on the armrest, Chu Yuan could understand Qiao Feng. The biological father he had finally found was far from being as heroic and honorable as he had imagined. He even wanted to put the blame on him and force him to the opposite side of the Song Dynasty. So it was conceivable that Qiao Feng was not that happy to see his biological father.

Chu Yuan asked again: "Brother Qiao, what did you think at that time, and how did you answer?"

Qiao Feng said, "We parted on bad terms. Before I left, I said that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. My mother's blood debt should be avenged, and I will do it myself. But the revenge should be taken against those who participated in this incident and the mastermind behind it. Other innocent people should not be implicated. If he kills innocent people again, I will sever all ties with him."

Chu Yuan couldn't help but praise him when he heard this: "Well done, Brother Qiao. You will avenge your enemies and repay your kindness. You are clear about gratitude and resentment and never hurt the innocent. This is the behavior of a real man. This is the Brother Qiao I know."

Qiao Feng added: "Fortunately, I have Ah Zhu by my side to accompany me and guide me. Otherwise, I would have collapsed long ago after suffering so many setbacks."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Emotion is indeed a good medicine for people who are suffering."

Qiao Feng said, "He never showed up again after that. Later, Ah Zhu accompanied me to the outside of Yanmen Pass, and I found the words he left on the cliff, as well as the place where he jumped off with my mother in his arms. After a lot of twists and turns, we returned to the Beggars' Sect. But a month ago, he found me again..."

Chu Yuan asked: "Why did he look for you?"

Qiao Feng said, "He told me who the leader was. After years of investigation, he found out that the leader was a person from Shaolin Temple and held a high position of power."

"But the leader was just being used by others. There was someone behind the scenes who spread false information to the leader and his gang. The person behind the scenes was from the Murong family. He suspected that it was Murong Bo, the previous head of the Murong family."

"During the months before he disappeared, he went to Jiangnan and quietly opened Murong Bo's tomb. As expected, he did not find Murong Bo's body inside. It was just a cenotaph."

Chu Yuan said: "If Murong Bo hides, it will be difficult to find him."

Qiao Feng asked, "If Murong Bo is hard to find, then isn't that leader also hard to find?"

Chu Yuan asked: "Brother Qiao, do you have a suspected target?"

Qiao Feng nodded and said, "I'm guessing that the leader might be the abbot of Shaolin Temple, or my master Xuan Ku..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Feng denied it again: "It's unlikely. If my master Xuan Ku was the leader back then, why would he accept me as his disciple and teach me martial arts!"

Chu Yuan didn't say anything. Although Qiao Feng suspected his master, he was still too conservative after all.

He never imagined that the man who led a group of martial arts masters and killed his mother outside Yanmen Pass was none other than Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, who was highly respected in the martial arts world.

I just don't know whether Xiao Yuanshan has found out the identity of the leader back then. If he has, why doesn't he just tell Qiao Feng the result directly.

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qiao, have you ever thought that the leader back then might be the Shaolin Temple abbot Xuanci?"

Qiao Feng rejected it immediately and flatly: "Impossible, Abbot Xuanci is highly respected, how could he be the leader?"

Chu Yuan reminded: "If you are not highly respected, how can you get the old leader, Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, Master Zhiguang and other famous predecessors to risk their lives to support you? The head of a hall in Shaolin Temple is not qualified enough!"

Chu Yuan's words made Qiao Feng look uncertain, because he felt that Chu Yuan's words made sense.

To be a leader who can be recognized and obeyed by so many martial arts seniors, being the abbot of Shaolin Temple is not qualified enough!

"If it is really Xuan Ci, I must go to Shaolin Temple and investigate this matter thoroughly."

Qiao Feng made up his mind.

Although his master Xuan Ku was also one of the Shaolin monks, if he went to Xuan Ci to investigate the truth, it might cause him to turn against his master and his disciples.

Chu Yuan came up with an idea and said, "Brother, you can invite all the heroes in the world to gather at Shaoshi Mountain in the name of the Beggars' Sect to find out the whole story and make an understanding of this matter."

Qiao Feng shook his head and said, "There is no need to invite all the heroes in the world to gather at Shaoshi Mountain in the name of the Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect belongs to all the brothers, not just me. This matter is my private matter, and I can handle it myself."

Chu Yuan said: "I will accompany you then, big brother."

Speaking of which, he killed Ye Erniang, which made him a mortal enemy with Xuan Ci.

Before Qiao Feng seeks revenge on Xuan Ci, it is unknown whether Xuan Ci will take the initiative to seek revenge on him for Ye Erniang.

Qiao Feng said, "I will have to trouble Brother Chu to protect your sister-in-law. There will be a lot of good and bad people there, and I am afraid I won't be able to protect her."

He didn't want what happened last time to happen again to Ah Zhu.

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "I will."

Chu Yuan said: "If possible, big brother, you have to find a way to invite Murong Fu to Shaolin Temple. I think after such a long time, Murong Fu should have regained his sanity."

Qiao Feng was puzzled: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

Chu Yuan said: "It's not easy to find Murong Bo. Murong Fu is his son. Although Murong Bo is faking his death, as long as Murong Fu is in danger, Murong Bo will definitely show up."

Qiao Feng said, "That's right. Although Murong Fu was not involved in this matter, he is the son of Murong Bo. He will definitely show up if Murong Fu is in danger."

Just like his father Xiao Yuanshan, although he had never shown up before, he had always been secretly watching his every move.

Soon, Ah Zhu prepared several of her specialties and served them on the table.

These include famous Jiangnan dishes such as Dongpo Pork, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Song Sao Fish Soup, and Beggar Boy Chicken, all of which are sweet in taste.

Chu Yuan sat down, took a few bites, and started drinking with Qiao Feng. He didn't feel too uncomfortable.

After drinking seven jars of sorghum wine, Qiao Feng's face flushed red. He continued to clink bowls with Chu Yuan while laughing and saying, "Second brother, I haven't drunk so happily in a long time."

The last time I drank so happily was when I became sworn brothers with Duan Yu in Wuxi.

Chu Yuan also clinked bowls with Qiao Feng and said, "Me too."

Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng were drinking. After eating and drinking their fill, women like Azhu, A Zi, A Bi, Wang Yuyan, etc., sat aside and watched Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng drink.

Wang Yuyan was worried about Murong Fu, so she looked very concerned.

Although A-Bi was also worried about Murong Fu, she would glance at Chu Yuan from time to time, and the same was true for A-Zi next to her.

When Ah Zhu saw this scene, a hint of realization flashed in her eyes, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

Ah Zhu's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, "Brother Qiao's second brother is really attractive. He can attract my two sisters and make them miss him at the same time!"

"But it's true, beauties love heroes, it has always been like this." Ah Zhu said in his heart.

As for the two younger sisters, A Zi and A Bi, who will be with Chu Yuan in the end is their own business!
"Miss Wang, Miss Abi, after such a long time, Master Murong should have recovered his consciousness. Brother Qiao will invite heroes from all over the world to gather at Shaoshi Mountain when something happens, and Master Murong will definitely come. When the time comes, you can go to Shaoshi Mountain with us and meet Master Murong."

After drinking with Qiao Feng, Chu Yuan said to A Bi and Wang Yuyan.

Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng are both highly skilled in martial arts, the best in the world, and a few jars of wine alone cannot make them drunk. Seeing Wang Yuyan and A Bi in the hall reminded him of his previous promise to them.

"Thank you, Young Master Chu."

"I will never forget your kindness, young master."

A-Bi and Wang Yuyan said one after another.

Chu Yuan glanced at A-Bi and Wang Yuyan, hoping that they would not hold a grudge against him and Qiao Feng when the time came.

He was very sure that in the feud between Qiao Feng and the father and son of the Murong family, Azhu would definitely stand on Qiao Feng's side, but it was hard to say about A-Bi and Wang Yuyan.

If they fight with the Murong father and son at that time, I wonder if they will regard Qiao Feng and myself as enemies.

"Brother Qiao, I just returned to the Beggars' Sect. I will rest here for two months. How about we invite all the martial arts heroes in the world to gather at Shaolin Temple in two months?"

Chu Yuan said to Qiao Feng again.

Qiao Feng, whose face was red and reeking of alcohol, said:
"I have waited so long anyway, I am not in a hurry. I will follow my second brother's advice and invite all the heroes in the world to gather at Shaolin Temple in two months."
