Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Upon hearing the other person speak to him, Murong Fu clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and said:

"I am Murong Fu from Gusu. I have come to keep an appointment, but not for a game of chess; rather, to visit my family."

"Visiting relatives?"

Su Xinghe looked puzzled, not understanding what it meant. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the burly man spit out another mouthful of blood.

Su Xinghe said in a deep voice, "Bailing, this game of chess is extremely difficult. Your talent is limited, and although your chess skills are not weak, you probably can't solve it. You're already injured, so it's unwise to force yourself to solve it now. Go and rest!"

It turned out that the strong young man was Su Xinghe's disciple, Fan Bailing, the second disciple among the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass. He was a chess enthusiast and had tried to solve the game.

Surrounding him now are his fellow disciples, each of whom learned a skill from their master Su Xinghe, such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, or opera.

It was because of the agreement between Su Xinghe and Ding Chunqiu that these eight people were dismissed and publicly declared to be expelled from the sect in order to prevent Ding Chunqiu from causing trouble for them.

However, these eight people were all filial and thought of their mentor Su Xinghe all the time. As soon as they heard that their master had posted an invitation to the world, they realized that the traitor Ding Chunqiu might cause trouble for Su Xinghe, so they rushed over immediately.

Unexpectedly, Ding Chunqiu had not yet arrived when Fan Bailing arrived. Seeing the chess game, he was itching to try it. With his master's permission, he began to break the game. However, he did not expect that the game was set up with the blessing of Wu Yazi and had its own supernatural power. Those who did not have enough ability would only become confused or even go into a state of demonic possession if they tried to break the game.

Abi spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, walked in, and found it was indeed someone she knew. She exclaimed, "Master!"

The zither enthusiast Kang Guangling looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see Abi.

It turns out that when Kang Guangling went to Suzhou in his early years, he happened to meet Murong Fu and others. Abi learned the zither from him and became his disciple.

After many years apart, they had a brief reminiscing, and Kang Guangling also greeted Murong Fu.

An old monk standing nearby, upon hearing that it was Murong from Gusu, was overjoyed and performed a Buddhist salute.

Murong Fu took a look and realized that he recognized the old monk. Who else could it be but the abbot of the Bodhidharma Institute of Shaolin Temple, Monk Xuannan?

So he said, "Master Xuannan, what are you doing here?"

Xuan Nan's expression was complex as he said, "Benefactor Murong, after you left, we received news that our junior brother Xuan Nan died from his own ultimate technique, the Vajra Pestle, which resembles... resembles your Murong clan's unique skill, 'An eye for an eye.'"

Therefore... therefore, our temple would like to invite you to the temple... to see what is really going on."

When Xuan Nan said this, he was very careful with his words, because when Murong Fu came up the mountain last time, he used his medical skills to save Xuan Ku, who was on the verge of death after being ambushed. He could be considered a benefactor of Shaolin Temple.

Moreover, he did not ask for any other reward, only Buddhist scriptures. Many Shaolin monks, including Xuan Nan, believed that he had a Buddhist heart.

Unexpectedly, just two days after he descended the mountain, news of Xuan Bei's death came from Dali. He died from his own ultimate move, which directly targeted Murong Fu, who used the same method against him.

However, the people already had a good impression of Murong Fu and did not want to doubt him easily, lest they offend their benefactor.

So after repeated investigations, they actually found out that Murong Fu had gone to Dali before going to Shaolin Temple.

Although further investigation revealed that Murong Fu was sending the marriage invitation to his father-in-law, the Prince of Zhennan of Dali.

However, since there was such an overlap, the Shaolin monks discussed it and decided to invite Murong Fu up the mountain for a talk. If there was a misunderstanding, they wanted to clear it up as soon as possible, and if there was, they wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Three groups of monks were sent to Yanziwu to deliver invitations, but none of them could find Murong Fu.

In the past two years, there have been a series of tragic incidents in the martial arts world, and the victims were all renowned figures in the martial arts world. Therefore, Shaolin simply sent two senior monks of the Xuan generation, Xuan Nan and Xuan Tong, to deliver the invitation.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Doctor Xue, whom I had met before, on the road.

Last year, Doctor Xue and the You brothers held a meeting at Juxian Manor, claiming that the massacre in the martial arts world was caused by Qiao Feng and that they wanted to surround and kill the Khitan traitor.

But in the end, they could not find Qiao Feng, and the gathering of heroes at Juxianzhuang came to nothing.

On this journey, Xuan Nan encountered Doctor Xue, who turned out to be one of the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass. He explained the situation to Xuan Nan and the others, who were Shaolin masters, and were naturally willing to go.

Firstly, it's to lend a helping hand; secondly, there must be many renowned figures and talented young people in this area. Besides heading to Yanziwu, they're also sending out invitations along the way.

Unexpectedly, they actually encountered Murong Fu here, saving them from taking another detour.

Murong Fu took Xuan Nan's hand and retrieved a large red invitation card from his robes. The envelope bore the inscription "Respectfully presented to Benefactor Murong of Yanziwu, Suzhou" in eleven large characters. He opened it and read:

"Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple respectfully invites heroes from all over the world to visit Shaolin Temple on Mount Song on the Double Ninth Festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month) to celebrate, spread good karma, and resolve the matter of the mysterious killer in the martial arts world."

When Murong Fu heard the other party mention Xuan Bei, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Murong Bo, that old idiot, I've already sent him abroad to study, but he keeps trying to pin the blame on me.

When I went to Shaolin Temple last time, no one mentioned this matter. It turns out the news spread slowly. I was wondering if there was some other hidden story...

But Murong Fu was not afraid of this matter at all. It wasn't him who did it, so what was there to be afraid of?

Besides, no one in Shaolin can beat him now... except for that sweeping monk.

Having acted uprightly and honestly, he had nothing to fear, and nodded, saying:

"I will certainly keep my appointment."

Xuan Nan was even more satisfied to see that Murong Fu still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor. He nodded, performed a Buddhist salute, and then bowed to Su Xinghe beside him before stepping aside.

After Su Xinghe finished dealing with his disciple's affairs and saw that the two had finished their conversation, he said:

"Young Master Murong, please speak plainly. Don't waste this old man's time."

Murong Fu remained silent, turned and led Wang Yuyan forward, then beckoned Xiao Ming, who was carrying the child, to follow. He then asked Su Xinghe, "Does Mr. Su recognize this person?"

Su Xinghe hadn't noticed the many women behind Murong Fu, but when Murong Fu walked towards Wang Yuyan, he saw her face and his heart skipped a beat, his lips trembling.

After Murong Fu finished his questioning and answering, Su Xinghe nervously said:

"Is she...is she?"

Murong Fu nodded and said:

"Yes, she is Miss Li's daughter, named Wang Yuyan."

Su Xinghe asked again:

"Was this her wish?"

"Is there anything you need to tell Xinghe?"

Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Senior Li has lived in seclusion in Western Xia for many years and has never set foot in the Central Plains."

Yu Yan and I had a son after we got married, and he is now just six months old.

Hearing that Mr. Su had widely issued invitations to heroes, Yu Yan guessed that her blood relatives were probably still alive, so she brought her son to visit her relatives, so as not to leave any regrets.

"Senior Uncle Su, may I take Yu Yan and my son to meet the senior?"

Upon seeing Wang Yuyan's appearance, Su Xinghe was 90% convinced by what Murong Fu had said, with only 10% fearing that Murong Fu was colluding with Ding Chunqiu to harm his master.

But then I thought about it again. Murong Fu has a great reputation in the Central Plains, so he shouldn't be a bad person. The fact that the Shaolin monks treat him with such courtesy is proof of that.

His presence with his wife and children does indeed suggest a family visit, though it's unclear how he obtained this information...

But thinking that this matter should be decided by his master, he told Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan to be patient and then turned and went into the wooden house.

A moment later, he walked towards Murong Fu, pointed to the wooden house, and said to him:

"Young Master Murong, please."
