Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

In the small city of Hengyang, Dongfang Bubai has already met five people holding diaries, including herself, and she doesn't even know if there are other people hiding.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but wonder, how many people actually had the diary?

You have to know that this is just Hengyang City - of course, it is also because Ye Xiu’s diary mentioned Hengyang City, so the people who got the diary subconsciously rushed to Hengyang City.

Just like Dongfang Bubai and Ren Yingying, if they hadn’t been mentioned in the diary, they wouldn’t have come.

However, Dongfang Bubai also knew that the number of people who possessed the diary was much greater than she had initially expected.

Chapter 44 Cold Sweat

"Senior Brother Ye, should we leave..." Yue Lingshan pulled Ye Xiu's sleeve and whispered to him.

“No need. It’s a rare opportunity to come across such beautiful music. It would be a shame to leave without listening to it to the end.” Ye Xiu responded in a low voice.

Even though Ye Xiu knew that there was a BOSS named Dongfang Bubai here, to be honest, Dongfang Bubai was not that dangerous, at least not for Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan now.

Although Dongfang Bubai is the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, she is not the kind of person who likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately. At least she will not attack ordinary people casually.

As long as Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan don't take the initiative to cause trouble or stir up disputes, but choose to listen to the piano and flute quietly, Dongfang Bubai should not do anything to them.

Ye Xiu pulled Yue Lingshan and found a place that wasn't particularly conspicuous and sat down.

Yue Lingshan was a little helpless about Ye Xiu's actions, although she still felt that Dongfang Bubai was too dangerous. But since Ye Xiu, who was writing a diary, pulled her to sit down, it meant that Dongfang Bubai would not do anything to them.

However, even though she knew this situation, Yue Lingshan was still afraid of Dongfang Bubai, so much so that after sitting down, she subconsciously moved closer to Ye Xiu, her body almost sticking to Ye Xiu's. From time to time, her eyes would uncontrollably look towards Dongfang Bubai, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

If Yue Lingshan's look at Dongfang Bubai might have been one of surprise at the beginning, but now this look made Dongfang Bubai certain that Ye Xiu's junior sister Yue Lingshan really knew his identity and was truly afraid of him.

This time, Dongfang Bubai was even more certain that Yue Lingshan was one of the owners of the diary.

Compared to Yue Lingshan, Ye Xiu felt more at ease. Soon, he devoted most of his energy to the song "Swordsman".

It's really nice to listen to, and it even makes people want to drop everything and venture into the world of martial arts.

Yue Lingshan was originally distracted by Dongfang Bubai, but gradually, she became attracted by the piano and flute ensemble. Her vigilance against Dongfang Bubai gradually relaxed, and she began to enjoy the music.

Gradually, the sound of the piano and flute ensemble began to become lower and then disappeared, as if the whole world had suddenly become quiet.

It took a while for Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan to come back to their senses.

Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang both had unconcealable joy on their faces. They looked at each other and felt that it was really great to be able to retire from music, give up all the so-called righteous and evil ways, and devote themselves to music wholeheartedly.

At this time, Qu Feiyan noticed the looks in the eyes of her grandfather and Eunuch Liu. She inexplicably thought of the diary written by Ye Xiu and couldn't help but shudder.

Originally, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, her grandfather liked music, and Eunuch Liu Zhengfeng also liked music. It was normal for the two of them to get to know each other because of music.

But now, seeing the two of them like this, she couldn't help but think about it in a perverse way, so much so that even Qu Feiyan couldn't help but feel excited -

Qu Feiyan couldn't help but glare at Ye Xiu fiercely.

Ye Xiu was bewildered by this inexplicable look, and didn't know why Qu Feiyan suddenly glared at him.

"Nephew Ye, niece Yue, what do you think of this piano and flute ensemble?" Liu Zhengfeng suddenly asked Ye Xiu.

In fact, after the performance, Liu Zhengfeng wanted to vent, or to hear others praise him.

However, among the people present, Dongfang Bubai was a big shot, so Liu Zhengfeng didn't dare to ask. As for Qu Feiyan, she followed Qu Yang all day long and was also one of his own. There was nothing to praise about him if he was praised by his own people.

Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan, who were attracted by the piano and flute ensemble, took the opportunity to ask some questions and get some praise.

"That's great, it's really beautiful. Uncle Liu, I don't know what song this is, but I'm fascinated by it even though I'm not very interested in music." Ye Xiu praised without reservation.

Yue Lingshan also nodded.

"This is a song called "Swordsman" that I created together with my good friend. In order to create this song, my friend and I even dug - ahem, in short, it took a lot of effort to create it." Liu Zhengfeng almost mentioned the grave digging, but he remembered that Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan were disciples of the Huashan Sect, a famous and upright sect, so he skipped the part about grave digging.

Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan once again praised Liu Zhengfeng and his team for their song.

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help laughing, and even Qu Yang showed an undisguised smile on his face.

Ye Xiu originally thought about taking this opportunity to ask Liu Zhengfeng for a copy of the score for "Swordsman", but in the end he didn't bring himself to ask.

In the original novel, the reason why Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang gave "Swordsman" to Linghu Chong was that they wanted to pass on their hard work and not let it be lost because of their deaths.

But now, the two of them were alive and well. It would be a bit too much for Ye Xiu to ask them for the music score again.

After all, music scores, like martial arts secrets, are very precious things to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang. How could they just give them to others casually?

After listening to the piano and flute performance, Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan stood up and said goodbye and left.

Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan just watched Ye Xiu leave without saying anything or trying to keep him.

When Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan left Dongfang Bubai and the others' range of sight, Yue Lingshan heaved a long sigh of relief and even couldn't help but pat her chest exaggeratedly.

"Junior sister, what's wrong? You seem very - nervous?" Ye Xiu asked as he looked at Yue Lingshan.

“Well, well, I, I discovered that the person who played the piano with Uncle Liu seemed to be the elder of the Demon Cult, Qu Yang. So——” Yue Lingshan was quite shocked. She did not mention Dongfang Bubai, but Qu Yang.

After all, compared to Dongfang Bubai who is almost unknown to anyone, more people know about Qu Yang. It is not surprising that Yue Lingshan mentioned Qu Yang.

"Well, but since he is with Uncle Liu, he shouldn't attack us." Ye Xiu nodded and said.

"But, what if? What if Uncle Liu doesn't want others to know that he has connections with the evil cult monsters and wants to kill people to silence them? We are no match for Uncle Liu and his people." Yue Lingshan shook her head.

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this. Ye Xiu was instantly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He acted recklessly based on his so-called familiarity with the plot, but this was not a novel, but the real world. What if, as Yue Lingshan said, Liu Zhengfeng did not want others to find out about his relationship with Qu Yang and chose to kill him to silence him?

"If it was before he retired from criminal activities, Uncle Liu might not want others to know about his relationship with Qu Yang. But now, he has retired from criminal activities, so he probably won't mind." Ye Xiu comforted Yue Lingshan.

Chapter 45 Little Beggar

Just when Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan had just left the valley where Liu Zhengfeng and the others were, a little beggar came towards them.

The pair of large eyes with distinct black and white were clearly the ones that had appeared at Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony before and had left some impression on Ye Xiu.

"Hello, hello. Did you hear any sound just now?" The little beggar greeted Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan in a very clear voice.

Hearing this voice, Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan couldn't help but pause.

"The sound you just mentioned, is it a piano and flute duet?" Ye Xiu looked at the other party and asked.

"Yes, yes, it was a piano and flute duet. The piece of music was very nice and it was the first time I heard it, so I followed the sound and came here. But before I got close, the sound of the piano and flute duet disappeared. Now I can't find the place either." The little beggar nodded.

"Well, the piano and flute performance has ended. It will be useless even if you go over. So you'd better not go over." Yue Lingshan advised.

In Yue Lingshan's opinion, she was lucky to follow Ye Xiu this time and was not killed. But if this little beggar went there and was killed by Qu Yang or Dongfang Bubai, then he would have given away his life in vain.

"It's over. That's such a pity. By the way, did you see who played the piano and flute duet?" the little beggar asked curiously.

"We didn't see him. It was too late for us to go there. The other party had already left." Yue Lingshan said kindly.

"Oh, that's such a pity. Were you also attracted here by the sound of the piano and flute like me? Do you like music?"

"It's not that I like it very much, but the music this time is really nice, so I was attracted to it."

Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan and the little beggar were talking.

Although this little beggar looks dirty, there is no strange smell on his body. Although he looks dirty, he does not give people a sloppy feeling.

Moreover, this little beggar seemed to be very smart and spoke very nicely, especially to a young girl like Yue Lingshan who was not very worldly-wise. She felt very happy talking to this little beggar.

"You are looking for Lin Zhennan and his wife!" the little beggar said suddenly.

Yue Lingshan was talking to the little beggar, and as they were talking, she revealed their purpose.

Ye Xiu was also speechless, thinking that his junior sister was really naive. Of course, Ye Xiu himself didn't take the matter of finding Lin Zhennan too seriously, so he didn't stop Yue Lingshan from speaking out.

"Yes, after all, Lin Pingzhi is going to be accepted as a disciple by my father, so we naturally have to help him find his parents." Yue Lingshan nodded.

"Let me help you." The little beggar's big eyes with clear black and white turned and he said with a smile.

"This--I don't want to trouble you with this." Yue Lingshan didn't agree.

"No trouble, no trouble. Let's analyze the situation first. First of all, Lin Zhennan and his wife were captured by the people of Qingcheng Sect, so if we want to find Lin Zhennan and his wife, we must first find the traces of the disciples of Qingcheng Sect. The people of Qingcheng Sect are from Sichuan, and their customs and preferences are..." The little beggar analyzed the situation in a very reasonable and thorough manner.

The little beggar analyzed the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and based on these, he made a rough prediction about the people of Qingcheng Sect. There were many other places that Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan had never thought about before the little beggar mentioned them, but now after the little beggar's analysis, they found that finding Lin Zhennan and his wife did not seem to be a difficult task.

Ye Xiu looked at the little beggar with some suspicion. This little beggar was really too smart.

Moreover, this little beggar is not only good at analyzing such things, but also very proficient in communicating with people.

Just like Yue Lingshan, this was the first time for the little beggar to meet Yue Lingshan, but through conversation, just a few words, he and Yue Lingshan became closer.

Ye Xiu felt that if he had not been there, Yue Lingshan would have been fooled by this little beggar.

Well, Ye Xiu felt that he had no advantage in terms of intelligence when facing this little beggar. Fortunately, he was a time traveler and had more experience than ordinary people, so he could be alert in his heart, but that was the extent of it.

As for what this little beggar wants to do, whether he has any bad intentions, etc., it may be almost impossible to detect.

"...So, Lin Zhennan and his wife should be in this area. Next, we just need to explore this area and we should be able to find them soon." The little beggar took a branch and wrote and drew on the ground, and finally circled an area and said.

"Little brother, you are really smart, thank you." Yue Lingshan sincerely felt that the little beggar was smart.

"Well, this kind of thing can be analyzed with just a little brainpower, so no need to thank me." The little beggar waved his hands with a smile.

After hearing what the little beggar said, Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan were both speechless. Did they mean that they were brainless?

"Little brother, you are so smart, where are you from?" Ye Xiu asked curiously.

At the same time, Ye Xiu also wanted to analyze some of the other party's information to see if he could infer the other party's identity.

"Where am I from? Well, I'm just a beggar, where else could I be from? I'm running around all over the world begging for food. Well, if I help you find Lin Zhennan and his wife, can you give me a reward or something?" The little beggar said with a smile, and even stretched out his little hand to ask for compensation.

"Don't worry, as long as we find the person, I will definitely ask my father to give you more rewards." Yue Lingshan answered very seriously.

Ye Xiu was speechless. For a smart person like the little beggar, it would be too easy for him to make money. On the contrary, he still looked like a little beggar, which made people feel strange.

"Then I must thank you very much, Miss Yue." The little beggar smiled happily, just like a little fox.

At this time, the little beggar had gained a certain understanding and knowledge of Yue Lingshan and even Ye Xiu through communication.

For example, Yue Lingshan, the little beggar can already judge that Yue Lingshan is a very simple-minded little girl, who grew up well under the care of her parents and has not experienced many hardships, so her personality is naive. On the contrary, Ye Xiu is a little more thoughtful and has more experience than ordinary people. It seems that he has a certain understanding of many things and events, but it seems that he does not understand them very deeply.

Chapter 46: Mu?

Even though the little beggar was very smart and had analyzed the approximate area where Yu Canghai and his friends imprisoned Lin Zhennan and his wife based on their accents, diet, and living habits, Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan had been running around and listening to the song "Swordsman", which had delayed them somewhat.

When Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan and the little beggar were heading towards the direction where Lin Zhennan and his wife were imprisoned, they happened to meet Yue Buqun and his men. Yue Buqun and his men had also found out some information and were also chasing in that direction.

"Shan'er, Ye Xiu." Yue Buqun nodded when he saw Yue Lingshan and the other person, then he turned his gaze to the little beggar who was following them: "Who is this little brother?"

"My surname is Mu. I'm a little beggar from the Beggar Gang. Nice to meet you, Master Yue." The little beggar bowed with a smile.

“Dad, Brother Mu is very smart. He helped us analyze the accents and eating habits of the people from the Qingcheng Sect. Finally, he helped us identify an area and said that Lin Zhennan and his wife are very likely being held captive here by Yu Canghai and his men.” Yue Lingshan explained, with a hint of admiration in her tone, because this little beggar was so smart.

“Oh? Thank you so much, Brother Mu.” Yue Buqun expressed his gratitude in a kind and elegant tone.

"I just helped analyze it. It's nothing, nothing." The little beggar waved his hands, seemingly unconcerned, but the look he gave Yue Buqun was a little bit strange.

After all, Yue Buqun's appearance is so outstanding that he doesn't look like a bad guy at all.

If he had not read the diary, he would never have believed that Yue Buqun was a hypocrite.

"Master..." Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but speak at this time. He was already very eager to find his parents and didn't want to waste any time.

"Sorry, Brother Mu, Pingzhi is anxious to find his parents--"

"no problem, no problem."

So, the two groups joined together and moved forward quickly according to the direction calculated by the little beggar.

Soon, a ruined temple appeared in their sight. Most importantly, outside the ruined temple, they also saw people from the Qingcheng Sect.

They really found the people from Qingcheng Sect and Lin Zhennan and his wife. Yue Buqun couldn't help but glance at the little beggar subconsciously.

"Dad, Mom—" Lin Pingzhi looked at the dilapidated temple and wanted to rush over.

When the people from Qingcheng Sect saw Lin Pingzhi, they wanted to capture him. However, when they saw Yue Buqun and others behind Lin Pingzhi, their faces changed.

Yu Canghai heard the voice at this time, walked out of the dilapidated temple, and met Yue Buqun.

"Brother Yu, I wonder if Lin Zhennan and his wife are in the temple..."

Yu Canghai looked at Yue Buqun who came to his door, and his expression looked a little ugly.

While Yue Buqun and Yu Canghai were negotiating, Mu Gaofeng sneaked into the temple and tried to interrogate Lin Zhennan and his wife...
