Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

At this moment, Murong Fu also came to help. Kumārajīva was already having a hard time fighting Lin Yaoxie alone.

But now that he saw Murong Fu had also joined in, Kumārajīva gave up struggling and quickly left.

Before leaving, he said fiercely to Lin Yaoxie and the others, "I will come back and make sure you teach me what I want."

Lin Yaoxie said to him, "Kumārajīva, you're delusional. Everyone is watching you."

"As a monk, you disregard the precepts and kill indiscriminately, and you also harbor greed, wanting to seize other people's martial arts manuals."

The people in the nearby restaurant had just seen them fighting, so they came out and stood outside to watch the commotion.

Hearing Lin Yaoxie's curses against Kumārajīva, they finally realized that he was a monk.

So all those people stood by the roadside, pointing and whispering about Kumārajīva.

When Kumārajīva saw so many people criticizing him, he became very angry and turned away.

Miss Wang said to Lin Yaoxie, "Brother Lin Yaoxie, thank you for saving me. You have saved me several times over the past few days."

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said to Miss Wang, "Miss Wang, you're too kind. We're old acquaintances. How could I just stand by and watch you get captured by that Kumārajīva and do nothing?" Murong Fu also came over to thank Lin Yaoxie, saying that he was grateful to Lin Yaoxie for saving his cousin several times.

Chapter 53 A Few People Chat at a Restaurant

So Lin Yaoxie and the others returned to the restaurant and sat down together to eat and chat.

Lin Yaoxie inquired about Duan Yu's recovery from his injuries.

Duan Yu happily said to Lin Yaoxie, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I am much better now thanks to Miss Wang's careful care at her home."

"I'm much better now, so I want to go back to Dali to see my parents."

"Young Master Murong has been invited to the Beggars' Sect's martial arts tournament, intending to clarify that he was not the one who harmed Master Xuanbei of Shaolin."

"So Miss Wang and I accompanied Young Master Murong here to participate in the martial arts tournament. After that, I will return to Dali."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Their purpose in this martial arts tournament is still to punish Qiao Feng. They believe that Qiao Feng was the one who did those things."

"Actually, there was a period when I was with Qiao Feng. Those things were not done by Qiao Feng at all. There was a mysterious person who always got ahead of Qiao Feng."

"Killing all those people is to cover up the identity of the ringleader."

Miss Wang asked from the side, "What leader? Who is that person?"

Lin Yaoxie replied, "It's the leader who orchestrated the strangulation of Qiao Feng's family at the border back then."

"Everyone involved in this matter back then was killed by a mysterious figure."

“Every time we try to find the whereabouts of that ringleader, all the people who know about him have already been killed before we even get there.”

"Or they would rather bite their tongues and die than reveal the true identity of the ringleader."

Murong Fu, who was standing next to him, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this leader is a very prestigious figure in the martial arts world, otherwise how could so many people protect him?"

Lin Yaoxie also said, "That's true, but what's strange is that the mysterious figure always manages to kill people before we do."

"What I don't understand is, if they were afraid Qiao Feng would find out the truth, why not just kill Qiao Feng directly instead of going through all that trouble to kill those who knew the truth before Qiao Feng's arrival?"

"I think he wanted to frame Qiao Feng. His purpose was quite obvious. Who could hate Qiao Feng to this extent?"

Duan Yu said, "By the way, why didn't I see Qiao Feng with you? Didn't you two set off together to find the truth?"

ooo is asking for flowers...

Lin Yaoxie said, "We searched all the way, but one by one, the people we were looking for were killed before we even got there."

"Later, a high-ranking monk from Shaolin Temple solved the mystery of Qiao Feng's origins. He confirmed that Qiao Feng was a descendant of the Khitan people."

"Back then, the leader was misled by rumors and thought that Qiao Feng's father had come to invade. Later, he killed their entire group."

"It was discovered that Qiao Feng's father left behind a stone tablet before his death, with his last words engraved on it. At that time, it was all written in Khitan script, which they did not recognize."

"After someone fluent in Khitan was found to translate it, everyone who participated in the strangulation regretted it deeply."

"Because Qiao Feng's father and his family came here to visit relatives, and someone tipped them off, saying that they were coming to invade."

"After learning the truth, those people regretted it very much, so they settled Qiao Feng in a family surnamed Qiao for adoption, so he was renamed Qiao Feng. In fact, Qiao Feng's real name was Xiao Feng."

"Death.

Chapter Fifty-Four: An Encounter with Qiao Feng at Night

After hearing Lin Yaoxie's account, Duan Yu and the others found the whole thing very strange. They were very suspicious about the mysterious messenger's intentions back then.

Lin Yaoxie said, "Later, the two of us came to an inn and rested for the night. When I woke up the next morning, I found that Qiao Feng had left me a note saying that he had gone to find the truth and was afraid of implicating me, so he did not want me to follow him."

"So, just after I left the inn on March 27th, I met the You brothers by chance. The You brothers' entire family of over thirty people was wiped out in a single day."

"If it weren't for Brother You Tanzhi and I drinking together at the restaurant that day, we probably would have been killed too."

"That's why the two of us came to this gathering of heroes together to find out the truth behind the massacre of the Youtan family."

Duan Yu happily said to Lin Yaoxie, "Then after Master finishes this Heroes' Gathering, let's go back to Dali together."

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and said, "Alright, your master will go back to Dali with you and supervise your practice. Look at you just now when you were fighting against Kumārajīva, you messed up again."

Duan Yu scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Your disciple will obey your orders and practice diligently so as not to embarrass you again."

Duan Yu looked at Miss Wang again and said, "I must now bid farewell to Miss Wang and Young Master Murong. Since I have met my master, I will leave with him."

"Please, Young Master Murong, protect Miss Wang well and don't let that evil monk Kumārajīva succeed."

Upon hearing Duan Yu's words, Murong Fu replied, "My cousin is my fiancée. Of course, I, Murong Fu, will risk my life to protect her. Please rest assured, Young Master Duan Yu."

Duan Yu felt very upset after hearing this. He knew that although he liked Miss Wang, Miss Wang only had eyes for his cousin, so of course his cousin didn't like hearing him say that.

So Duan Yu just smiled and didn't say anything more, afraid that it would be awkward if he said too much.

So they each went back to the inn to rest.

Duan Yu, along with Miss Wang and Murong Fu, had previously booked rooms at this inn.

Lin Yaoxie and his group only had two rooms left, so Duan Yu stayed at the inn.

Duan Yu and Lin Yaoxie agreed to meet the next day. Duan Yu was to wait for Lin Yaoxie at his inn, and they would go to the Heroes' Gathering together...

After Duan Yu agreed, Lin Yaoxie and You Tanzhi returned to the inn to rest.

After spending some time alone in the room, Lin Yaoxie felt no sleepiness at all.

Feeling a bit stifled in his room, he decided to go out for a walk to clear his head before returning to sleep.

So Lin Yaoxie left the inn alone and strolled along the street in front of it.

At this time, there were very few people on the street, and everyone was walking in a hurry. Only Lin Yaoxie was wandering around the empty street.

Lin Yaoxie suddenly noticed a very familiar figure in front of him.

He flashed past him in a flash. Lin Yaoxie thought about it carefully and realized that the figure was none other than Qiao Feng.

Why would Qiao Feng be here at this time? He is the target of the Heroes' Gathering, so why would he come here?

Lin Yaoxie couldn't figure these questions out immediately, but he quickly caught up with Qiao Feng using the Lingbo Weibu technique.

Qiao Feng heard someone chasing him from behind, so he turned around and struck out with a palm, almost hitting Lin Yaoxie.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Qiao Feng Reveals His Dilemma

However, after discovering that it was Lin Yaoxie, he promptly withdrew his academic statement.

Lin Yaoxie was so frightened by his palm strike that he almost got hit by Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were no joke; being struck by one of his palms would result in either death or serious injury.

Lin Yaoxie looked closely at Qiao Feng and saw that he looked much more haggard than he had seen in the past few days.

Lin Yaoxie asked Qiao Feng, "Brother Qiao Feng, why did you leave without saying goodbye and abandon me at the inn? Do you think I'm someone who's afraid of being implicated by you?"

Qiao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Yaoxie and said, "Brother Lin Yaoxie, I am really sorry. I was so confused that day that I decided to go and find the truth myself."

"I felt that if you stayed with me, I would tarnish your reputation, so I had no choice but to leave a note and leave."

Lin Yaoxie said, "After you left, all thirty-odd people in Juxian Manor were wiped out in a single day. Did you do this?"

Qiao Feng said, "How could it be me, Qiao Feng, who did this? Even if I were to go to Juxian Manor, I would only do so to question those who knew the truth back then, or kill those who knew the truth. I would never kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Of course I've been to Juxianzhuang. When I got there, it had already turned into ruins."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Of course I believe in you, Brother Qiao Feng, otherwise I wouldn't have said that."

"Everyone in the martial arts world says that you, Qiao Feng, are a murderous monster, but I, Lin Yaoxie, know what kind of person you are."

Qiao Feng said with emotion, "Thank you for your trust, Brother Lin. In this world, only you and A'Zhu believe in me."

Only when the mention of Azhulin's evil nature came to mind did he remember, so he asked Qiao Feng, "I wonder how Miss Azhu's injuries are now? Have you gone to see her?"

Qiao Feng replied, "I went to see Doctor Xue a few days ago, but Doctor Xue said that A'Zhu has already left."

"I don't know if she's safe now, she's a young woman. I'm very worried about her."

Lin Yaoxie comforted him, saying, "Miss A'Zhu is clever and cunning. Her disguise skills are unparalleled. Few people can bully her, so don't worry."

Qiao Feng nodded and said, "That's true. I think A'Zhu is probably also looking for news about me. I don't know when we'll be able to meet."

Lin Yaoxie asked him, "Brother Qiao Feng, where are you going so late?"

Qiao Feng replied, "I want to go to the Beggars' Sect. Isn't the Beggars' Sect going to hold a martial arts conference?"

"I think Madam Ma will definitely go there. I want to find Madam Ma tonight and ask her about the whereabouts of that leader."

"Now, the only one who knows the identity of that leader is this Madam Ma."

Lin Yaoxie advised Qiao Feng: "Qiao Feng, I advise you not to look for that Madam Ma. That Madam Ma is treacherous and cunning, and the most poisonous heart is that of a woman."

Even if what he told you was a lie, since you really like A'Zhu 327, don't ask about these江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) matters. Why don't you two go and live a quiet, anonymous life?

However, Qiao Feng was very stubborn and still wanted to find out the identity of the leader. He was still very unwilling to give up.

However, Lin Yaoxie knew that if Qiao Feng went to see Madam Ma, Madam Ma would definitely deceive him, and he would fall into Madam Ma's trap.

Since things had come to this point, and Lin Yaoxie realized he couldn't persuade her otherwise, he decided to go with Qiao Feng to find Madam Ma and see what tricks she was up to. But something unexpected happened when the two of them arrived at Madam Ma's door.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Lin Yaoxie Reveals Heavenly Secrets

They discovered that Madam Ma was chatting with Elder Bai.

So Lin Yaoxie and Qiao Feng leaped onto the roof.

The two of them lifted a tile off the roof to listen carefully to what the other two were talking about.
