Chapter 204 So Young

A-Bi said: "The master has made up his mind. I am a servant and can only listen to you..."

After she finished speaking, she realized that her young master's status had changed, and she could no longer call Murong Fu Young Master: "No, from now on, Brother Chu will be my new Young Master."

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't need anyone to serve me, and you don't need to serve others all the time. Where is the indenture that Murong Fu gave you?"

A Bi took out an official deed from her bosom and handed it to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan took a look at it and confirmed that this was the document representing A-Bi's identity as a maid. Then, Chu Yuan tore the contract into pieces in front of her and threw them on the ground.

A-Bi was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, "What are you doing, Brother Chu..."

Chu Yuan said: "From now on you are free. You don't have to serve anyone, and you are not anyone's maid."

Just when A-Bi felt a little sad and her eyes turned red, her sister A-Zhu, who had just seen all this, came over.

Ah Zhu said to Ah Bi, "Ah Bi, why don't you thank your second brother for giving you your freedom."

A Bi said a little disappointedly: "But..."

Ah Zhu said: "Come with me!"

After saying that, Ah Zhu pulled Ah Bi aside.

I don’t know what she said to A-Bi, but the disappointment on A-Bi’s face just now quickly disappeared.

Finally, she walked back with her sister Ah Zhu and bowed to Chu Yuan to thank him: "Thank you, Brother Chu."

Chu Yuan didn't know what Ah Zhu said to Ah Bi that made Ah Bi figure it out so quickly.

Chu Yuan said to A Bi, "A Bi, it's good that you have figured it out. Now that your sister is married to Brother Qiao, we are all family. It's better to follow your sister and them than to be a maid and serve others, right?"

A-Bi nodded and said, "Brother Chu is right."

Seeing that A-Bi was no longer bothered by the matter, Chu Yuan put it behind him and observed the situation of many monks and Qiao Feng walking out of the Shaolin Temple after the gate was opened not far away.

……

"Master, what did my sister say to that girl?"

Ah Zi saw everything that just happened, and she asked curiously to her master, Tianshan Tonglao, who was beside her.

She knew that her new master, Tianshan Tonglao, was an extremely skilled martial artist and a distance of several meters was no limit to her.

"You like Chu Yuan, right?"

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan did not answer A Zi, but asked A Zi another question.

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ah Zi's eyes were somewhat evasive.

"Don't deny it. I saw it when you were always close to her in Luoyang City. You treated Ah Bi badly because you were afraid that she would snatch Chu Yuan from you, right?"

Tianshan Tonglao looked at Ah Zi's evasive gaze and said.

"Master..."

Ah Zi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tianshan Tonglao:

"Originally, that girl was not a threat to you. Her status was too different from yours. But after what happened just now, she has regained her freedom. Now you have a new competitor."

Thinking of his sister just now, he took A-Bi aside and talked to her for a few words before A-Bi agreed to regain her freedom.

Ah Zi was somewhat dissatisfied: "How can my sister help outsiders!"

Tianshan Tonglao looked at Ah Zi and smiled, "I won't say I'm talking nonsense now, but now that things have come to this, you have to rely on yourself from now on."

Hearing her master say this, Ah Zi looked a little depressed.

……

While some minor incidents were happening on Chu Yuan's side, Qiao Feng had already stood in front of Xuan Ci not far away.

"Abbot, I was born in Shaolin, and most of my martial arts were learned in Shaolin. I didn't want to come, but I have some doubts in my heart, and I really have to speak them out!"

Qiao Feng bowed to Xuan Ci.

"But you came anyway."

Xuan Ci looked at Qiao Feng, then glanced behind Qiao Feng, at the Shaolin Temple gate, at the hundreds of martial arts heroes who were invited by Qiao Feng.

Who would have thought that the baby back then has grown up to be a world-famous hero, who can attract so many martial arts sects and heroes with just a single order.

"Feng'er..."

Xuan Ku originally wanted to persuade Qiao Feng, but thinking that this matter concerned Qiao Feng's life experience, he, as his master, could not stop Qiao Feng from investigating his life experience.

"Boss Qiao, I know what you are asking for, but before I tell you the truth, I have some things to deal with. Please help me."

Xuan Ci said to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

He thought that no matter what, Xuan Ci was the abbot of Shaolin. Since the other party was willing to tell him the truth about the incident at Yanmen Pass, he should give him this face.

Qiao Feng said again, "Abbot, please do as you please."

Xuan Ci asked Qiao Feng, "I wonder if Clan Leader Qiao could give me some pointers on another hero of the Beggars' Sect who has become famous over the past two years, Young Hero Chu Yuan, the Green Lotus Envoy?"

Qiao Feng was confused. Why did Xuan Ci look for his second brother to handle the matter?
"Abbot, please follow me!"

He did not ask any questions, but took Xuan Ci directly to where Chu Yuan was.

Soon, the two of them came in front of Chu Yuan. Qiao Feng said to Xuan Ci, "Abbot, this is my second brother Chu Yuan."

After walking up to Chu Yuan, Xuan Ci looked Chu Yuan up and down, and surprise gradually appeared in his eyes, because Chu Yuan was younger than he had imagined.

At the age of less than 20, most people are just starting out in society, but Chu Yuan in front of him is already famous all over the world.

Xuan Ci said: "Not only is he young, but he is also very handsome, with such a brilliant appearance and unrivaled martial arts skills. No wonder he is famous all over the world. I'm afraid that Young Master Chu will achieve even higher achievements than Boss Qiao in the future!"

Chu Yuan's ears automatically filtered out Xuan Ci's praise and compliments. He was thinking about something in his heart. He felt that the other party must have come for Ye Erniang. He asked, "I wonder what the abbot wants to see me about?"

Xuan Ci closed his eyes, put his hands together, and then opened his eyes again and said, "I came here to settle a cause and effect. Didn't you, Young Master Chu, kill Ye Erniang, one of the four evil people, in the Zhenlong chess game on Leigu Mountain?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "Yes, the Shaolin abbot is highly respected, why would he ask me, a wicked man who even killed babies, is there any relationship between the abbot and Ye Erniang?"

Just when everyone was confused and thought that Master Xuanci, the highly respected abbot of Shaolin Temple, could not possibly have any connection with a notorious villain who liked to steal and kill babies.

"good."

Abbot Xuanci nodded and frankly admitted the matter in front of everyone.

Abbot Xuanci's words caused the crowd of people in front of the Shaolin Temple's mountain gate to become noisy after a moment of deathly silence.

Everyone was wondering why Xuan Ci was connected with a villain like Ye Erniang.

Xuan Ci talked about his relationship with Ye Erniang:
"Although I practice Buddhism, my cultivation is low. More than 20 years ago, I went down the mountain to do some work. I met a farm girl at the foot of the mountain. The girl was gentle, beautiful, dignified and chaste. Because I passed by her hometown and rescued her family from the hands of local bandits and bullies, she respected me."

"But the old monk was confused and broke the precepts, putting the Buddhist teachings behind his mind. She lost her virginity to the old monk and gave birth to a child for him, but the child was stolen. From then on, her character changed drastically, and I don't know where she learned martial arts from, which brought disaster to the world!"

Chu Yuan pointed out directly: "That girl must be Ye Erniang!"

The conversation between Chu Yuan and Xuan Ci caused the heroes of the world to change color again.

Especially the monks in front of the Shaolin Temple's mountain gate, they all looked a little confused and at a loss.

If Ye Erniang, who is notorious and does all kinds of evil in the martial arts world, had an affair with her own abbot, then the Shaolin Temple, as the pillar of the Song Dynasty's martial arts world, would be completely humiliated.

Xuan Ci admitted: "Yes, the woman's surname is Ye, and she is the second child in the family. In addition, she later formed a brotherhood with villains such as Duan Yanqing, Yue Lao San, and Yun Zhonghe, and she is also the second child, so she was named Er Niang. People in the martial arts world call her Ye Er Niang."

Chu Yuan sneered: "If it was Ye Erniang, the abbot did not stop her from doing evil all these years, allowing her to commit such heinous crimes. As the leader of the righteous path, he was at ease as the abbot of Shaolin and enjoyed the respect of the martial arts world. You are half responsible for the sins committed by Ye Erniang!"

Xuan Ci was silent for a moment and then said, "I have committed a crime that is unforgivable. I am willing to bear the consequences of the evil deeds I have done."

Chu Yuan asked: "Are you looking for me to avenge Ye Erniang?"

"Amitabha!"

Xuan Ci chanted a Buddhist name: "In the past, I could not let go of my desire for fame and gain, and allowed Er Niang to wander around the world, which led to her committing a serious mistake and causing this sin. I would like to trouble Young Master Chu to rid the world of this evil. How can I have the face to seek revenge from Young Master Chu... I am willing to commit suicide after accepting the punishment according to the Shaolin sect rules. I only hope that Young Master Chu will show mercy and write off this matter."

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that the reason why Xuan Ci revealed the matter between himself and Ye Erniang before admitting that he was the leader was probably to protect Xu Zhu.

He was afraid that Xu Zhu would be implicated because of the affair between him and Ye Erniang.

Chu Yuan was not a person who would bring disaster to his descendants. The reason why he killed Ye Erniang was mainly because of Ye Erniang's cruelty, which really made him angry.

And although Xu Zhu was ugly, he was also a kind person with a simple mind, unlike his parents Xuanci and Ye Erniang. Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Xuan Ci bowed to Chu Yuan solemnly and said, "In this way, I, the old monk, would like to thank you, young hero Chu."

He didn't talk about the son between him and Ye Erniang, and Chu Yuan didn't ask.

Chu Yuan saw that Xuan Ci was deliberately not talking about the matter, wanting to keep it secret so that Xu Zhu could live a peaceful life in the future.

"Boss Qiao, the reason you came to pay respect to the mountain today is because of the leader who killed your parents?"

After resolving the matter with Chu Yuan, Xuan Ci looked towards Qiao Feng.

"good."

Qiao Feng nodded.

Although Qiao Feng was shocked that Xuan Ci, the seemingly highly respected Shaolin abbot, actually had a secret relationship with Ye Erniang, a notorious villain in the martial arts world, he still did not expect that Xuan Ci was the leader back then.

"In fact, the old monk was the leader back then."

After a moment's silence, Xuan Ci uttered something shocking.

When Qiao Feng heard this, his expression changed.

"Abbot, do you know what you are saying? How can you be the leader?"

Qiao Feng's eyes were red and his breathing was rapid.

"The old monk is indeed the leader."

Xuan Ci's eyes were calm.

Once people make up their minds to do something, they will no longer have so many psychological burdens.

"Thirty-one years ago, I suddenly received a secret letter from a good friend, saying that a large number of Khitan warriors from the Liao Dynasty were going to go north from Yanmen Pass to the Central Plains, coveting to seize my Shaolin martial arts secrets in order to prepare for the Liao Dynasty's invasion of the Song Dynasty."

"That good friend was well-known in the martial arts world, so I believed him without a doubt and thought he would not deceive me. I invited all my good friends to go to Yanmen Pass to stop the Khitan warriors..."

Xuan Ci paused, "I'm sure Boss Qiao has already heard about what happened later from Mr. and Mrs. Tan. We killed your parents by mistake, and your father left you behind as an infant, holding your mother's body as he jumped off the cliff. Later, we learned that we killed the wrong person, and it was just a misunderstanding. But the mistake had already been made, so we could only bring you back to the Central Plains and give you to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife at the foot of Shaolin Mountain to raise!"

Qiao Feng immediately shouted angrily, "What a simple phrase, you killed the wrong person. If you killed the wrong person, why have you guys been so complacent all these years, pretending that nothing happened?"

Xuan Ci was silent for a moment and then said, "The rest of them are dead. This old monk is willing to atone for the wrong things he did before."

Anger and hatred intertwined in Qiao Feng's heart: "The person is dead, how can you atone for your sins? Can atonement bring my mother back to life?"

Xuan Ci could only remain silent because he could not answer Qiao Feng's question.

After a long time, Qiao Feng calmed down. He thought that the good friend of Abbot Xuanci was the real culprit, and people like Xuanci, Mr. and Mrs. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, and Master Zhiguang were just being used.

Qiao Feng looked back at Xuan Ci and asked, "Abbot, who is your good friend? Could it be Murong Bo, the previous head of the Murong family?"

“Boss Qiao actually knew!” Xuan Ci was a little surprised to see that Qiao Feng knew who this person was. “Yes, the person who sent the message to this old monk was none other than Murong Bo, the previous head of the Murong family.”

Xuan Ci continued, "However, not long after that, the old donor Murong Bo passed away."

Qiao Feng said in a low voice: "He is not dead at all, he is just faking his death."

Xuan Ci was even more curious about Qiao Feng, why he knew so much:

"I also learned about this later. I sent Junior Brother Xuanbei to the Murong family in Yanziwu, Jiangnan, to investigate the matter. He found evidence that the old donor Murong Bo had faked his death. Later, the four evil men attacked Dali. I sent Junior Brother Xuanbei to Dali for support, but Murong Bo found an opportunity and killed Junior Brother Xuanbei in Shenjie Temple."

Qiao Feng was shocked and said, "It turned out that Master Xuanbei was killed by Murong Bo because he was investigating this matter!"

Qiao Feng remembered that last year when Kang Min framed him, Xuan Bei's death caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world.

It almost led to a war between the Murong family and the Shaolin Temple.

Xuan Ci nodded, "Yes, Murong Bo wanted to use his old tricks again to stir up the feud between Dali and Shaolin. He wanted to use Dali Duan's "One Yang Finger" to kill Junior Brother Xuan Bei, but his martial arts skills were not good enough, so he used the Murong family's "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" to kill Junior Brother Xuan Bei. We suspected that it was Murong Fu who did it. Although Murong Bo erased all traces of the "One Yang Finger" when he fought with Junior Brother Xuan Bei in the Shenjie Temple when he left, my Shaolin Temple still found some clues."

Xuan Ci looked at Murong Fu and said, "Mr. Murong, you are his son. If your father is not dead, he would have informed you, right?"

Murong Fu looked a little flustered: "I don't know about these things..."

Speaking of which, he had indeed met his father Murong Bo once before, and it was at that time that he learned that his father had faked his death for many years.

However, after his father showed up, he didn't tell him why he faked his death, but only told him that everything was for the purpose of restoring the country.

If he had known earlier that his father had such a conspiracy against Qiao Feng and the Beggars' Sect, he would never have thought of winning over Qiao Feng and Chu Yuan of the Beggars' Sect, and even gave his maid A-Bi to Chu Yuan.

Xuan Ci said to Qiao Feng, "Boss Qiao, it seems that Master Murong really knows that his father Murong Bo faked his death!"

Because Murong Fu's expression at this moment said it all.

Qiao Feng immediately walked towards Murong Fu step by step: "Master Murong, this matter concerns my life experience and the hatred between my parents. Please tell me the whereabouts of your father."

Because of Azhu's matter, he actually had a good impression of Murong Fu.

"waste!"

As soon as Qiao Feng finished speaking, before he reached Murong Fu, a burly old man in black clothes suddenly jumped out from the dense forest in front of the Shaolin Temple's mountain gate. He cursed Murong Fu who was not far away. Seeing that his identity had been exposed, he no longer hid in the dark. From a distance, he slapped Qiao Feng with a powerful and swift palm.

"Murong Bo, what's the point of bullying the younger generation? I'm here to fight you."

As soon as the old man in black appeared, from another direction, behind Qiao Feng, there was also an old man in black with a skinny body, dry white hair, and a look like dead grass. He flew out from the crowd and attacked the old man in black with a palm.

boom!
Although the two men were separated by a long distance, their palm forces had already collided in the air, making a loud noise, and then both of them were blown away by the force at the same time.

The two men flew back at an even faster speed, their palms moving like shadows as they fought each other.

It swept past like a hurricane, and there were many heroes and Shaolin disciples around, who were injured by the aftermath of the fight between the two.

Seeing that the two men had such high martial arts skills, everyone immediately made way, leaving space for the two to fight.

When Chu Yuan saw this scene, he recognized the two old men in black. They should be Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan.

"Fu'er, I will stop this foreign bandit for you, and you kill Qiao Feng."

While Murong Bo was fighting with Xiao Yuanshan, he gave orders to Murong Fu who was a little bit at a loss not far away.

Thinking that the other party was his biological father and would not harm him, Murong Fu hesitated for a moment before making up his mind. He raised his sword and said to Qiao Feng, "Boss Qiao, I'm sorry."

Qiao Feng did not want to fight with Murong Fu: "Master Murong, every wrong has its perpetrator. What happened before was done by your father. It has nothing to do with you. Don't go astray."

Murong Fu did not respond to Qiao Feng. Instead, he drew his sword and casually stabbed out three sharp sword lights, which fell on Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng saw that this battle was inevitable and could only say, "Well, if that's the case, let's fight it out!"

Qiao Feng flew up and joined the battle with Murong Fu using only his palms.

Duan Yu saw this and asked Chu Yuan: "Second brother, what should we do? Should we help Brother Qiao?"

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "That's their own grudge, they should solve it themselves, not to mention that Murong Fu is no match for Big Brother."

As Qiao Feng took action, Chu Yuan saw that Qiao Feng's palm method was powerful. Each move contained masculine strength. He would advance without retreating. Just relying on his unparalleled strength, he could sweep in all directions and cause extremely terrifying destructive power.

The "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" is also known in the martial arts world as the best palm technique in the world.

With this palm technique, Murong Fu would definitely not be a match for Qiao Feng, and could only last a few dozen moves at most.

"I haven't seen you for a while. My elder brother's martial arts have improved a lot."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

The martial arts displayed by Qiao Feng at this time were much stronger than when he competed with him before.

Not only Chu Yuan, after Qiao Feng and Murong Fu exchanged a few moves, everyone also realized that Murong Fu was no match for Qiao Feng at all. Even with a sword in his hand, he was beaten back by the unparalleled power of Qiao Feng's bare palms.

Seeing this, A Bi knelt down in front of Chu Yuan: "Brother Chu, please save Master Murong. Master Murong really doesn't know what the master did!"

Although Murong Fu had just given A-Bi to Chu Yuan, A-Bi still remembered Murong Fu's friendship.

"Yes, Young Master Chu, brother, please save my cousin. Although my cousin has some unrealistic delusions, he has no ill intentions and this matter has nothing to do with him."

Seeing that something was not right, Wang Yuyan burst into tears and came over to ask Chu Yuan and Duan Yu for help.

She felt that the only people who could save her cousin now were probably Chu Yuan and Duan Yu.

Chu Yuan didn't say anything, but Duan Yu looked a little embarrassed.

Regardless of whether he now knew that Wang Yuyan was his sister or had previously had improper thoughts about her, it was difficult for him to refuse directly.

But when I thought about the fact that I hadn’t had much contact with my eldest brother Qiao Feng recently, I had to see the opinion of my second brother Chu Yuan if I wanted to ask for mercy.

Duan Yu looked at Chu Yuan: "Second brother, look at this matter..."
