Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"I'm fine." Wuqing came in front of Wang Yuyan and Chen Liu, looked at Wang Yuyan and smiled, "I'm with Miss Wang from the Gusu Wang family's Mantuo Villa. I believe she won't let anything happen to me. Right, Miss Wang?"

Wang Yuyan: ...

Chen Liu:......

Wuqing had said so, what could Wang Yuyan do? She could only protect Wuqing for the time being. Lengxue glanced at Wuqing, then at Wang Yuyan, nodded silently, and turned away.

After Wang Yuyan tore off Murong Fu's human skin mask and revealed his true face, many martial arts heroes present went to capture him. She decided not to join in the fun and returned to Chen Liu to protect his safety. Chen Liu was very happy about this. No matter what Wang Yuyan's purpose was, she personally exposed Murong Fu and destroyed the Murong family of the Song Dynasty just to put the past behind her.

After Wang Yuyan tore off Murong Fu's mask, he was shocked and angry, and hated Wang Yuyan even more. He thought that Wang Yuyan was taking revenge on him for announcing in the martial arts world that he had no relationship with Wang Yuyan, so she wanted to destroy him and his Murong family.

But what does hatred mean? Seeing more and more martial arts heroes rushing towards him with gleaming eyes, wanting to capture him and claim a reward from the imperial court, Murong Fu didn't dare to stay and could only keep killing.

[Tsk tsk! The Murong family is finished. Oh, well, it's the Murong family of the Song Dynasty that's finished, but the Murong family of the Ming Dynasty is still doing fine.]

When Chen Liu saw Murong Fu rushing out in a panic, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

So, offending a woman is terrifying. When a woman takes revenge on someone, she can completely destroy you. Just like Kang Min, who madly retaliated against Qiao Feng because he didn't even look at her. Qiao Feng was ruined by that one missed glance.

Wang Yuyan: ...

ruthless:……

Azhu, Abi and other girls: ...

Wang Yuyan was almost furious. Am I taking revenge on Murong Fu? Is it because you always doubt me that I expose Murong Fu and express my feelings to you?

[But Kang Min is finished this time.] Chen Liu glanced at Wuqing and quietly moved his feet away, trying to stay as far away from her as possible. Although Wuqing was very beautiful and resembled Liu Tianxian, she could read minds. That was terrifying, wasn't it?

ruthless:……

Without Kang Min, Bai Shijing, and Quan Guanqing, it's unclear how Tian Long will develop. However, with Xiao Yuanshan, the traitorous Sixth Brother, around, I think Qiao Feng—no, he should be Xiao Feng now—is going to have a tough time. He'll undoubtedly become the villain everyone in the Song Dynasty hates.

Xiao Yuanshan is still alive? Wuqing remained expressionless, but he was shocked in his heart.

At this time, the war between the beggars of the Beggar Gang, the heroes of the Song Dynasty and the Xixia people was nearing its end, and Azhu, Abi, Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing and others also returned.

Because this time there were more masters of the Song Dynasty such as Wang Yuyan, Guo Juxia, Hong Qigong, as well as innate masters such as Ma Yu and Hao Datong, and Chenliu reminded them to stop the Xixia people from poisoning in advance, so the Xixia people's conspiracy did not succeed this time, and they were killed and fled. Even the general of Yipintang, Haolian Tieshu, was captured by Guo Juxia and Hong Qigong. Only the four evil men and Murong Fu escaped.

Initially, Yun Zhonghe was unable to escape from the encirclement of Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang. However, Duan Yanqing's Yi Yang Finger technique left them reeling, allowing Yun Zhonghe to escape. After Wang Yuyan withdrew, although Murong Fu was injured by her, if he had been determined to escape, few would have been able to stop him, unless Grandmasters like Guo Juxia and Hong Qigong intervened. Although Murong Fu escaped, his Murong family was doomed.

[However, Yuyan's destruction of the Murong family this time will inevitably lead to Murong Bo's revenge...]

Wang Yuyan was shocked. She just wanted to expose Murong Fu and prove to Chen Liu that she no longer had feelings for him. She forgot that Chen Liu had said in his heart that Murong Bo was still alive and hiding in Shaolin Temple to secretly learn the seventy-two unique skills.

I don't know Murong Bo's current level, but he's at least at the peak of Grandmaster, right? He might even be a Grandmaster. If Murong Longcheng were still alive, he might even be at the Celestial Realm. In this martial arts world, martial arts are revered. If a country doesn't have a Celestial Realm, your dreams of restoring the nation are just wishful thinking. Forget it.

Wang Yuyan: ...

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi: ...

[After this matter is understood, I'll take Yuyan, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi and the others to Daming for a stroll. I'll also let Li Qingluo hide. After all, she is my mother-in-law. If Li Qingluo is killed by Murong Bo, it will be embarrassing for me, right?]

ruthless:……

Murong Bo is still alive? Is Murong Longcheng also possibly alive? This is a major event, and it needs to be reported to the Divine Marquis immediately. When Wuqing heard that Murong Bo, and even Murong Longcheng, might still be alive, she abandoned Chenliu and fled to Daming to hide. If she didn't hide, would she wait for Murong Bo or Murong Longcheng to kill them?

Chapter 120 Huang Yaoshi

After the Beggars' Gang's Xingzilin meeting ended and the Xixia's sneak attack was foiled, Chen Liu asked Guo Juxia for two bottles of the Xixia's Beisu Qingfeng and the antidote. Beisu Qingfeng was a valuable ingredient. If he had had the poison, he wouldn't have had to fight the leader for days before defeating him.

After obtaining the poison and antidote, Chen Liu returned to Mantuo Villa with Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Wuqing, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci. However, Guo Fu and Guo Xiang were captured and taken home by their father, Guo Juxia. Guo Fu and Guo Xiang were reluctant to return home, but it was not their choice. Chen Liu already had a fiancée, and there were several more, and Guo Juxia was unwilling to let his daughters become concubines.

Wuqing was visiting Mantuo Villa, Mu Nianci was now considered Chenliu's resident, and Huang Rong was so stubborn she insisted on staying with Chenliu that she even ignored her senior sister Mei Chaofeng. As for Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo, they naturally followed as well.

However, just as they were about to board the Mantuo Villa boat, a thin, stiff-faced figure in a green shirt, wearing a human skin mask, suddenly appeared. He descended from the roof of the boat like a giant bird and reached out to grab Huang Rong. Startled, Wang Yuyan immediately raised her hand and pushed, sending a stream of energy towards the figure. The figure snorted coldly, then flicked his hand, sending a small stone colliding with Wang Yuyan's Beiming Qi.

Chen Liu was also taken aback, but upon seeing the figure in green, he immediately guessed it was Huang Yaoshi. Wang Yuyan was about to attack again when Chen Liu suddenly grabbed her hand. Surprised, Wang Yuyan turned back to look at Chen Liu. In that delay, Huang Rong had already been captured by the figure in green.

"Don't worry about it. That man should be Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi." Chen Liu shook his head.

"Eastern Evil Huang Yaoshi?" Wang Yuyan was a little surprised.

"There's no doubt about it. The move he just used must be his unique skill, the Finger Snap Technique." Chen Liu said.

In the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, is a master martial artist known for his wicked nature. He is surly, arrogant, vicious, and hates dogma, even his own disciples are afraid of him. If he didn't have a good daughter and a good son-in-law, his image would be even worse. Furthermore, the current Huang Yaoshi is no longer the national hero of the later novels, but a villain; otherwise, he wouldn't be called the East Evil. If Chen Liu had rashly tried to make friends with him, he might have killed him, since he already had a fiancée and was having an affair with his daughter. If Chen Liu hadn't had Wang Yuyan by his side, he would have been severely beaten by him for his philandering behavior. So, before becoming a master, Chen Liu's current strategy is to keep a low profile and avoid any contact with villains.

Furthermore, Huang Rong's capture by her father, Huang Yaoshi, was a boon for Chen Liu. Otherwise, Huang Rong, aside from fearing Wang Yuyan, would have been displeased with everyone, especially Mu Wanqing. Furthermore, Huang Rong was sharp-tongued and venomous, and Mu Wanqing couldn't argue with her, often becoming enraged enough to threaten a fight, a significant headache for Chen Liu. Now that Huang Rong had been captured by Huang Yaoshi, it was truly a relief; peace and quiet had finally arrived.

"Daddy?" Huang Rong was very happy at first when she saw Huang Yaoshi. She jumped excitedly while holding Huang Yaoshi in her arms. But her face changed drastically soon. Now she was captured by her daddy. Doesn't that mean she can never see Chenliu again?

"Dad, please put me down quickly. I want to go back to find my brother Chenliu." Huang Rong said anxiously.

"What are you looking for? He already has several fiancées, so why are you still looking for him?" Huang Yaoshi said unhappily.

"Of course, it's to get Brother Chenliu back." Huang Rong said as a matter of course.

"Can you beat that Wang Yuyan? Even if daddy takes action himself, he may not be able to defeat her. That woman is very strong." Huang Yaoshi snorted coldly.

After Huang Rong left Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi left the island to look for her, and had already found Huang Rong in Xiangyang. However, Huang Yaoshi did not show up, but followed and protected her in secret. In fact, Huang Yaoshi still had a good impression of Chen Liu. Chen Liu treated Huang Rong very well and had no feelings for her. It was his daughter who liked Chen Liu. Chen Liu was tall and handsome, with a good appearance. Although his martial arts skills were a bit poor, he had a good understanding. It would be nice if Chen Liu could become his son-in-law, so he did not stop him. He even did not care when Chen Liu deceived Mei Chaofeng into giving her the second half of the Nine Yin Manual under the guise of his apprentice and Huang Rong's fiancé.

However, what Huang Yaoshi criticized was that Chen Liu was too philandering, which made him very unhappy. What made him even more unhappy was that Chen Liu had no feelings for his beautiful daughter and even looked down on him. Huang Yaoshi was so angry that he almost jumped out and beat him up. Of course, if Chen Liu had feelings for his daughter, he would probably beat him even harder.

What Huang Yaoshi didn't expect was that when he arrived in Wuxi, Chen Liu was captured when he wasn't paying attention. When Chen Liu showed up again, he already had several fiancées, which made Huang Yaoshi very angry. Since Chen Liu already had a fiancée, he couldn't let his daughter follow Chen Liu. Did he want his daughter, Huang Yaoshi, to be a concubine? If Wang Yuyan's skills were not as good, and his daughter really liked Chen Liu, he could just snatch Chen Liu away and force him to marry Huang Rong. He, Huang Yaoshi, was the master of the evil sect, so what was wrong with snatching a son-in-law? But he had just fought with Wang Yuyan, and he found that he might not be able to snatch her from Wang Yuyan, so he could only take his daughter away.

"But if I leave now, won't I have no chance anymore? No, Daddy, put me down. I must get Brother Chenliu back." Huang Rong struggled hard.

Huang Yaoshi pressed Huang Rong's acupuncture points and said, "You should go back to Peach Blossom Island with me and learn martial arts first."

……

On the boat returning to Mantuo Villa, Chen Liu didn't think about anything. He just chatted with Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Mu Nianci and others. After all, he had Wuqing, who could read minds, by his side, and he was afraid that his secret would be exposed.

"By the way, Miss Wuqing, Azhu and Abi used to be from Yanziwu. They still have a lot of things left in Yanziwu. It should be okay for them to go back and get their things, right?" Chen Liu asked Wuqing.

Wuqing glanced at Chen Liu and smiled, "Swallow Valley should be sealed off now. If Miss Azhu and Miss Abi want to go back and retrieve their things, it's no problem. I'll just give them a permit. But there might be someone following them to prevent them from taking anything from Swallow Valley."

"Azhu and Abi, is there anything you need to go back and get?" Chen Liu turned and asked Azhu and Abi.

Ah Zhu guessed that Chen Liu might have set his sights on Yan Ziwu's martial arts secrets, but with someone following them, it would be inconvenient for them to take them back. Of course, they could go back and take a look, so she said, "There are some personal belongings, but we haven't been back for several months, and I don't know if they are still there. We should go back and take a look first."

Chapter 121 Murong Bo is not dead yet

"Murong Fu was beaten and fled by you? You also revealed that he defected to the Xixia people?" After listening to Wang Yuyan's account of what happened in Xingzilin yesterday and last night, Li Qingluo's face looked a little strange, as if she was a little excited and a little relieved.

Back then, Murong Fu's mother, Lady Wang, her husband's sister, suspected Li Qingluo of cheating on her brother (although this was true), having a bastard child with another man (also true), and even killing her brother (this...). Therefore, Lady Wang was always rude to Li Qingluo, even disgusted. As a result, Li Qingluo and Murong Fu's mother had a poor relationship and had no contact at all. Murong Fu kept visiting her Mantuo Villa not because of kinship, but because he was attracted to her martial arts secrets from the Langhuan Jade Cave. This was one of the reasons why Li Qingluo had always opposed Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu being together. Another reason was that the Murong family had always been committed to restoring the country, and Li Qingluo was worried that the Murong family's rebellion would be exposed one day, implicating her.

Now, the Murong family’s rebellion has indeed been exposed, but it was her daughter who revealed it. Not only will their family not be implicated, they will even be rewarded by the court. How can Li Qingluo not be happy?

"Yes, but Brother Chen Liu said that Murong Bo is very likely not dead, but is hiding." Wang Yuyan said.

"Murong Bo is not dead?" Li Qingluo's face suddenly changed when she heard that.

Murong Bo, the previous patriarch of the Gusu Murong family and Murong Fu's father, was already a late Grandmaster before his death. Had he lived, his cultivation might have reached peak Grandmaster, or even Grandmaster, over the years. Now that Wang Yuyan has exposed Murong Fu's involvement with the Xixia, and has drawn the imperial court's attention to the Murong family, Murong Fu's rebellion against the country is surely undeniable. How could Murong Bo not resent Wang Yuyan, her Mantuo Villa, and his vengeance against her family?

"It's very likely that he's not dead." Wang Yuyan nodded and said, "Brother Chenliu said that Murong Bo was already a master back then. How could he die so easily from illness? What kind of illness could kill a master in his prime? So Brother Chenliu said that Murong Bo might have gone into hiding, doing things in the dark. Didn't many people in the martial arts world die recently due to 'do unto others'? Brother Chenliu said that this was probably not done by Murong Fu, but by Murong Bo."

To find an excuse to leave the Song Dynasty and allow Li Qingluo to hide for a while, Chen Liu explained to Wang Yuyan, Azhu, and Abi that Murong Bo was likely still alive, so he could convince them. He primarily asked Wang Yuyan to persuade her mother, Li Qingluo. Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing were certainly willing to go with him, but if Li Qingluo wanted to hide, he had to give her a reason, right?

"Daughter, if Murong Bo comes to seek revenge on us, can you stop him?" Li Qingluo panicked when she heard that.

Wang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, "If he's just a Grandmaster, I think it should be no problem. Even if I can't win, I won't lose either. But if he's already broken through to the Grandmaster level, then it will be difficult."

A master of the innate realm can begin to harness the energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, a master can begin to use this energy to attack the enemy, and a grandmaster takes it a step further, mobilizing an amount of energy that is unmatched by a master. A grandmaster facing a grandmaster has virtually no chance of winning, unless they possess some incredibly devastating moves; otherwise, they are essentially doomed.

"So what should we do now?" Li Qingluo turned pale with fear. Although Li Qingluo remained calm when killing people, she was killing others. When it was her turn, she was afraid. She didn't want to die.

"Brother Chenliu said that he would take us to Daming for a tour and secretly take out the treasure. Brother Chenliu also said that he wanted mother to go out and hide for a while." Wang Yuyan said.

"Where can I hide?" Li Qingluo said angrily, "Since your uncle is pretending to be dead and doing things in the dark, he must be an extremely sinister person. Who knows how many cards he has hidden? Can he find me? What if he finds me? With my limited skills, how can I stop him?"

Wang Yuyan was silent after hearing this. If Murong Bo came to attack, not only her mother, but even she would be in trouble.

"Mother!"

"How about I go with you to travel around Daming." Li Qingluo said.

"Mother..."

"It's settled then. Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, where the hell have you been? Hurry up and help me pack my things. I want to go out and play with my daughter and son-in-law for a while." Li Qingluo didn't even wait for her daughter's consent, and hurriedly went to find the maid to pack the luggage.

Wang Yuyan: ...

Wang Yuyan was a bit amused and hurriedly pulled Li Qingluo back to her senses, saying, "Mother, can you please not be so anxious? Brother Chenliu has already figured out that Murong Bo is most likely hiding in Shaolin Temple."

"Hidden in Shaolin Temple? Calculated?" Li Qingluo was a little confused.

"Yes, Brother Chenliu once met the Clay Buddha and read her Heavenly Crying Sutra, so Brother Chenliu also has the ability to tell fortunes, but few people know about his ability." In order to make Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi and other girls believe him, Chenliu could only use the title of a fortune teller again to fool people. Wang Yuyan and other girls knew that his fortune teller title was fake, but no one pointed it out. However, Wang Yuyan didn't mind using this excuse to fool her mother.

"A fortune teller? My son-in-law has a fortune teller?" Li Qingluo was even more surprised when she heard this. She quickly stood up again and said, "I'll go find my son-in-law and ask him to tell me if I can have that... well, I've been feeling a little anxious lately and I don't know what's going on. I'll ask him to help me."

Wang Yuyan: ...

Wang Yuyan didn't know how to complain. Was Duan Zhengchun really that good? Her mother only slept with him once, and she still couldn't forget him after all these years?

"Mother, can you wait a moment?" Wang Yuyan pulled Li Qingluo back again and said, "Brother Chenliu said that since Murong Bo is hiding in Shaolin Temple to steal martial arts secrets, then we should expose him and let everyone know that he is still alive and hiding in Shaolin Temple to steal the 72 unique skills. Once Shaolin Temple finds out, they will definitely hunt him down and prevent the 72 unique skills from being leaked. As long as he can't hide in the dark and is hunted by Shaolin Temple, he will definitely not be able to cause trouble for us for a while. We can calmly arrange our family affairs and then go out for a tour."

Even if Li Qingluo were to go out and hide for a while, Mantuo Villa's vast foundation wouldn't be lost in a flash. Mantuo Villa isn't just home to Mantuo. It also has numerous businesses in Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Zhenjiang, Lin'an, and other places. All of these need to be arranged, right? The martial arts secrets in Mantuo Villa's Langhuan Jade Cave also need to be hidden, right?

Chapter 122 Digging Graves

After Murong Fu was exposed for defecting to the Xixia people and leading troops to attack the Beggars' Sect in the Song Dynasty, the reputation of the Gusu Murong family was ruined in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Divine Marquis's Mansion responded quickly. Zhuge Shenhou not only quickly requested an imperial edict, but also personally led a team to seal off the Gusu Murong family.

No matter in which era, rebellion is a very serious matter. Even if it is false, the emperor would rather believe it than not, and would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

After Zhuge Zhengwo arrived in Gusu, Wuqing was finally leaving Mantuo Villa, which made Chen Liu breathe a sigh of relief. Without Wuqing, he felt much more relaxed. Even though Wuqing said that using mind reading would be extremely draining on her mental state and had distance limitations, and that she generally wouldn't use it, Chen Liu was still afraid. He had too many secrets.

"By the way, Miss Yayu, Murong Bo is very likely faking his death. You can go and dig up his grave and see if you can find anything." Chen Liu said to her before Wuqing left.

The entire Swallow Valley and the Murong family's assets were seized by the Divine Marquisate and the government. Most of Swallow Valley's slaves and maids were apprehended by Leng Xue and his soldiers. However, Deng Baichuan, along with four of the Murong family's generals—Gong Ye Qian, Bao Bu Tong, and Feng Bo'e—fleeted. Murong Fu's sudden discovery left him too late to return home to inform his family, leaving the Murong family's generals and servants to flee. Consequently, when Leng Xue and his soldiers sealed off Swallow Valley, they were completely unaware of what had happened. When Deng Baichuan, Bao Bu Tong, and other generals learned of the Murong family's rebellion, their expressions suddenly paled, and they fled without further ado. While Deng Baichuan, Gong Ye Qian, and other skilled generals were able to escape, even injuring many of the soldiers, the rest of the Murong family's servants could not. Enraged, Leng Xue and his soldiers slaughtered some of them before capturing the rest.

When Ah Zhu and Ah Bi returned to Yanziwu, it was in ruins, with soldiers guarding important areas. Even when they went back to pack up their belongings, they were watched by soldiers. If they hadn't had the ruthless approval, they would have been controlled by soldiers the moment they arrived on the island.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi hadn't had the chance to bring back the Murong family's martial arts manuals when they returned to Yanziwu. Chen Liu could only sigh inwardly when he learned of this. He had also wanted to see the martial arts manuals from Shi Shuige, especially the Murong family's unique skills like the Sanhe Finger, Dragon City Swordsmanship, and Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. But since he hadn't had the chance to record them, he'd forget it.

Wuqing glanced back at Chen Liu, a smile on his face, and a slight nod as he said, "Thank you for your care these past few days. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
