The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Chu Luren secretly followed Di Yun without making a sound. He first sneaked into the backyard and found Wan Gui's small courtyard.

after that……

Di Yun saw Wan Gui playing with his junior sister's daughter, looking very happy.

A moment later, the butler came over and said that the master wanted to see the young master.

The young mistress then picked up her daughter and said, "Water Spinach, Daddy has something to do. Be good, come to Mommy..."

After Wan Gui left, Di Yun remained hidden, watching his junior sister for a while. Hearing that his junior sister's daughter was actually named "Water Spinach"—a nickname his junior sister had given him in the past—Di Yun recalled the past and the scene of their family reunion that had just occurred to him.

At last……

Di Yun turned and left, not to look for Wan Zhenshan and his son, but to leave the Wan residence.

"Brother Di, is there some torture instrument you forgot to bring?" Chu Luren asked.

"No, Brother Chu, let's just let this grudge go! I won't seek revenge. After I kill that scoundrel Ling Situi, I'll leave Jingnan and never come back," Di Yun said, his eyes red.

Chu Luren: ...

So, he saw his junior sister and his enemy having a happy family, so he wished them a long and happy life together?

Just as Chu Luren was about to speak to persuade him, he suddenly saw Wan Gui come out of the Wan residence and get into a carriage, so he raised his chin and said: "Look, your enemy has just come out."

Wasn't it the "master" who was looking for him?

Di Yun originally didn't want to get involved in these matters anymore, but when he saw Wan Gui again, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "This person... might be up to something bad. I'm sorry, my junior sister, I have to go and see!"

Di Yun wasn't particularly skilled; he was just honest and kind. He had just seen his junior sister and husband enjoying themselves and wanted to let it go. Now, however, he had been "seduced" and was looking for a reason to kill Wan Gui, which was perfectly reasonable.

Chu Luren shook his head helplessly—having been a chivalrous hero for so long, Chu Luren found it hard to understand this kind of honest person.

The two followed and discovered... that this guy really was doing something "that was unfair to his wife," but it wasn't exactly a "bad thing." Chu Lu was very familiar with this place—Qunyu Courtyard!

He's not the cult leader's adopted brother, so how could he be here to rent a horse?

"Damn it! He, he actually dared to..." Di Yun's murderous intent, which had been extinguished, began to waver again.

So Wan Gui was just pretending his father was looking for him, and then he went out to have fun?

"He did so many heinous things for his junior sister, and now he actually..." Di Yun was still indignant.

"Men are all fickle, and besides, what good is Wan Gui? He just likes your junior sister for a moment," Chu Luren comforted him.

After all, revenge is someone else's own business. It's not like Di Yun is disheartened and Chu Luren has to force him to help others.

“Brother Chu, let’s…go and take a look secretly! If he really did something to betray our junior sister…” Di Yun paused as he spoke.

He didn't know what to do—kill someone just because they frequented a prostitute? Di Yun really wanted to, after all, this guy and Di Yun had a deep-seated hatred for each other, but precisely because of this, he also condemned himself in his heart, wondering if he had deliberately picked a fight to kill someone...

"We're already at Qunyu Courtyard, why bother sneaking around?" Chu Luren said, leading Di Yun inside.

After a series of coded messages that left Di Yun bewildered, Chu Luren and Di Yun were led to a place where they had to open a mechanism in the wall to enter a secret room. However, this secret room was not gloomy at all; on the contrary, it was decorated in a very luxurious manner, even more so than the VIP room.

Several top courtesans from Jiangling were already prepared to play music and sing, much to the disappointment and confusion of the guests outside. Why were all the top courtesans on sick leave today?

Chu Luren only recently discovered that the treatment he received from Qunyu Academy had risen dramatically, and even inquiring about news required a great deal of effort.

Di Yun was amazed by Brother Chu's generosity—this must be what a true hero is like!

However, he was still a little unaccustomed to being in this kind of place. Just as he was about to tell Brother Chu that he just wanted to see Wan Gui, he heard Brother Chu say to the woman serving him, "Bring up all the records of Wan Zhenshan's son Wan Gui... no, bring up all the records of the father and son's visits."

"Yes!" The woman who called herself Qing'er glanced at Chu Luren with a spring-like look in her eyes, but her reply was very swift.

This Qing'er is the manager of the Sun Moon Cult at the Qunyu Courtyard in Jiangling. As for the other courtesans... they really are just courtesans. All we know is that the people who came today have a very grand presence and their identities are far from simple.

Before long, several large stacks of ledgers were moved over.

Not to mention Di Yun, even Chu Luren was startled—this father and son... have a lot of business dealings with Qunyu Courtyard!

Not losing contact means you're in good health...

Seeing this, Qing'er smiled slightly and explained, "This father and son have been away from the martial world for a long time and are no different from ordinary gentry. They are not wary of our place. Many times, they have plotted shady things here. The concubine that Wan Zhenshan married before was a virgin that I trained. We probably have more detailed records of the Wan family's affairs here than Wan Zhenshan himself."

Unless ordered by the emperor, the Qunyu Academy only collects information and does not deliberately probe any secrets—otherwise, they would be too busy to handle it!

But... there are always those who are blind to the truth and want to talk about secrets. Why be polite? Write it all down, whether it's useful or not.

Isn't this exactly what's coming in handy right now?

Chapter 660 The Truth Revealed

Wan Zhenshan's concubine, you trained her from childhood? You...you're showing your age, aren't you?

"Oh? Then why didn't you bring that Tao Hong back? Let her come out and see her old friends!" Chu Luren said, seemingly eager to stir up trouble.

Tao Hong, Wan Zhenshan's concubine, was also the one who framed Di Yun back then!

Of course, this has little to do with Tao Hong—she's out of her mind to use this to frame someone.

But what status could a concubine from the Imperial Harem possibly have? Her only son pressured her to use her innocence to frame him, and she had no choice but to comply…

In the original work, Tao Hong was not driven away by Wan Zhenshan because of this incident. However, she was later kicked out of the Wan residence because Wan Zhenshan was found to be sleepwalking. He also warned her that if she saw him in Jiangling again, he would kill her!

However, Tao Hong had no other skills since childhood, and by then she was old and her beauty had faded. Moreover, she didn't know anyone outside of Jiangling, so she became an exceptionally frail old beggar woman, wandering around Jiangling and begging for a living.

……

Qing'er must be much older than she looks; her age was already revealed when she said that Tao Hong was trained by her.

She glanced at Di Yun, then realized, "So it's Young Master Di Yun who's back for revenge? I'll arrange for Tao Hong to come back and confront Wan Zhenshan and his son."

Chu Luren was taken aback when he heard this. Tao Hong was really there?

In the vast world of martial arts, Tao Hong's fate took a turn—after being expelled from the Wan family mansion by Wan Zhenshan, Qunyu Courtyard secretly brought her back.

To the Sun Moon Cult, the Wan family father and son were nothing, but to the Qunyu Academy in Jiangling, Wan Zhenshan was a figure of some importance—not a martial arts figure, but a local gentry!

Tao Hong was not a spy trained by the Sun Moon Cult, and when she was redeemed, she had no idea that the Jade Palace was not simple.

Naturally, the Jiangling Qunyu Academy didn't mention what she was asked to do, treating it as just an ordinary transaction.

However, after Tao Hong was kicked out, Qunyu Courtyard took her away and placed her in Qunyu Courtyard in Jingmen as a lowly servant. Incidentally, she managed to extract all the information about the Wan family.

Although the sordid affairs of the Wan family are of no immediate use, for the Qunyu Courtyard, it is merely a matter of assigning someone to do odd jobs, something to do in their spare time.

At this moment, Qing'er suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh! If Young Master Di Yun still has feelings for your junior sister, he should return to the Wan residence immediately tonight!"

"Hmm?" Chu Luren looked over in confusion.

"A few days ago, some of Wan Zhenshan's disciples were playing together in Qunyu Courtyard when they discussed something..."

First, she complained, "Everyone put in the effort, so why is it that only Senior Brother gets to win the beauty's heart?" Then she said she wanted to invite Wan Gui to Qunyu Academy so they could also have some fun with Senior Sister-in-law. "Qing'er said truthfully.

He then added, "The reason Wan Gui is coming today is truly because his good junior brothers treated him to a meal."

Upon hearing this, Di Yun immediately stood up and hurriedly went out through the window—even the secret room had a ventilation window that opened upwards.

Chu Luren asked in confusion, "Isn't Wan Zhenshan still at home? Have his good disciples gone mad?"

"You've come to the right person, Grandpa Tai Sui. Tao Hong said that Wan Zhenshan suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and he gets up in his sleep every night to build walls... Although he is a martial artist, he is always difficult to wake up when he has dissociative identity disorder," Qing'er explained.

As for why his good apprentice is so shameless?

What's so strange about a disciple taught by Wan Zhenshan?

Chu Luren wasn't in a hurry to go over; he wanted to give Di Yun a chance to prove himself.

He then inquired about the Holy Maiden and Ren Woxing from Qing'er, the manager of Jiangling. Chu Luren had guessed from the significant increase in the courtesy shown to him by Qunyu Academy that the sect leader had probably completely taken back Qunyu Academy and wiped out the "spies" that Yingying had planted.

So I just asked it outright...

"Master Ren may be unwell recently and is unwilling to return to Blackwood Cliff. The Holy Maiden is filial and is searching everywhere for a doctor and medicine," Qing'er replied.

Although they addressed her as "Old Master" or "Holy Maiden," their tone lacked respect.

It seems that Ren Woxing messed things up himself, and even the leader sister is too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, Ren Yingying cannot return to Blackwood Cliff for help now, and Qunyu Academy only knows that she is searching for medical treatment everywhere - Ping Yizhi has no way to help her.

After all, Ren Woxing's problem wasn't an injury or illness, but rather a flaw in his own cultivation technique that caused him to go into a state of demonic possession!

Perhaps crippling oneself could prolong one's life...

The Sun Moon Cult does not know Ren Yingying's current whereabouts.

"The last time the Holy Maiden appeared was a month ago, when she went to Leigu Mountain to find the divine physician Xue Muhua, but she left disappointed as well."

Chu Luren: ...

So you guys are monitoring Leigushan?

Seeing Chu Luren's expression, Qing'er couldn't help but smile and say, "Grand Duke Jupiter, please don't misunderstand. It was the sect leader who instructed us to take care of Leigu Mountain, not to monitor it on purpose."

Chu Luren curled his lip, thinking to himself: Why not just open a branch? My senior brothers and nephews are all still single…

Calculating the time, Chu Luren arrived at the Wan residence again, only to find Di Yun and the "young mistress" he had met before embracing and weeping.

In the original work, Shi Wan Gui's junior brother also had feelings for his senior sister-in-law. He even used the antidote given to Wan Gui to try to force Qi Fang to commit adultery. In their view, their senior sister-in-law was always gentle and soft-hearted, and their senior brother often went to Qunyu Courtyard for business. Perhaps she was already suffering from loneliness... After all, Qi Fang was not the type of female knight-errant. At this point, you should imagine the atmosphere of Dream of the Red Chamber, not a martial arts novel.

This also revealed that "everyone had contributed to the matter" back then, and Qi Fang also learned the truth about Di Yun's matter, realizing that she had been misunderstanding her senior brother all along.

Now that Wan Gui's poisoning is no longer a factor, his junior brothers are going to force him. After nightfall, they come looking for trouble. In order to persuade their sister-in-law, they not only reveal Wan Gui's affair with prostitutes, but also the events of that year!

Over the past few years, Qi Fang had been secretly thinking about Di Yun, but she was also very conflicted. On one hand, she missed him, and on the other hand, she condemned herself for not being able to forget that beast and for completely believing Di Yun's accusations.

When Qi Fang suddenly learned the truth, she felt more relieved, but at the same time she also condemned herself for not believing her senior brother.

As for these beasts, Qi Fang tried to intimidate them with her senior sister-in-law's authority, while also thinking about how she could reunite with her senior brother and what to do with "hollow cabbage".

However, these good junior brothers were blinded by lust and wanted to force themselves on him. It was at this moment that Di Yun, the divine soldier, descended from the sky!

When Chu Luren arrived, he saw Wan Zhenshan's four disciples. One of them had half his head smashed, while the other three were missing limbs and were still groaning...

It was clear that Di Yun killed one of them in a fit of anger, but his killing intent subsided afterward.

Meanwhile, an old man in brocade robes was quietly probing over. Di Yun and Qi Fang hadn't noticed him yet, so this person must be Wan Zhenshan. Di Yun must have made quite a commotion earlier, and his soul separation syndrome wasn't completely incapacitated!
