A Deal

"That's simple too. I'll use these two pieces of information to exchange for Master Xiao's Dragon Capturing Skill, and I'll also throw in a few lives. Master Xiao will definitely not lose out."

Ji Boying said with a smile.

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed easy to handle.

"This Dragon Seizing Hand was originally a common grappling technique I learned from Shaolin. However, I also have some talent and learned the Beggar Gang's Sect's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. By drawing inferences from one instance to another, I used the essence of these techniques to innovate and create this Dragon Capturing Skill."

"There are quite a few people in the martial arts world who can Crane Controlling and Dragon Seizing, but everyone's skills and abilities are different, and the way they are used is also quite different. Xiao Feng believes that my Dragon Capturing Skill is unique, but I'm afraid it's not enough to repay the kindness of my brothers."

When Xiao Feng said this, Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e were the most alarmed.

Limited by their limited perspective, this was the first time they had ever seen a skill like the Dragon Capturing Skill.

I even thought it was a legendary martial art.

Surprisingly, coming from Xiao Feng's mouth, it sounded like something out of the ordinary in the martial arts world.

If they hadn't seen it before, then naturally their young master wouldn't know it either.

None of these remains in the Returning Waterside Pavilion.

Northern Qiao Feng and Southern Murong, though compared, there are still some differences between them...

Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e exchanged a glance and remained silent.

"Master Xiao, you're being too polite. I just don't like taking advantage of people or accepting favors for nothing, so I'm offering you this information in exchange."

"As for how much or how little, money can't buy my willingness. First of all, I like the Dragon Capturing Skill, and this skill is useful to me."

"Secondly, I also admire Master Xiao. Even if I don't have this skill, I am willing to reveal the truth and make up for many regrets."

Xiao Feng was deeply moved upon hearing this.

He bowed twice more to Ji Boying.

He turned to the Beggar Gang' Sect members and spoke.

"This Dragon Capturing Skill is my own creation and does not belong to the Beggar Gang's martial arts. Although I got some inspiration from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Brother Ji himself also knows the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and his skill is no less than mine."

"I passed on the Dragon Capturing Skill to him without revealing the Beggar Gang 'Sect's martial arts, and I did nothing to betray the Beggar Gang' Sect."

Elder Song stepped forward.

"Chief, why speak so formally?"

But Xiao Feng remained silent and did not respond.

Ji Boying ignored the Beggar Gang's Sect's entanglements and waved to Duan Yu.

"Young Master Duan, come here. I also have a deal to make with you."

"Huh? Me?"

Ji Boying nodded, and Duan Yu only stepped forward after confirming that he was being called.

"Young Master Duan, do you believe what I say?"

Ji Boying asked a seemingly random question, leaving Duan Yu utterly confused. He nodded while scratching his head.

"Of course I believe what Great Hero Ji says."

Duan Yu was not lying.

After Xiao Feng brought him to the Apricot Forest, they argued and bickered for half a day.

In such a long time, he and A'Zhu had already recognized each other.

Because of Mu Wanqing's example, Duan Yu easily accepted the situation.

I wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised.

After all, Duan Yu was quite Duan Yu of a beautiful and quirky woman like A'Zhu.

She was even pulled along by A'Zhu A'Bi, and directly recognized Duan Yu as her sworn brother.

This was not a problem or burden for Duan Yu at all; on the contrary, it was a pleasant surprise.

They were very happy and smooth-talking, and started calling each other brother and sister directly.

Duan Yu was naturally very grateful to Young Master Ji, whom A'Zhu had mentioned as a great benefactor.

Having already harbored a favorable impression of Young Master Ji, Ji Boying's arrival extinguished the arrogance of everyone present with just a few words.

He also revealed the truth and cleared part of the name of his sworn brother.

Their gratitude and appreciation for Ji Boying's abilities transformed into complete trust.

However, their reunion as siblings is still missing Wang Yuyan.

It was a matter of great importance, and it also concerned her mother's reputation, so Wang Yuyan kept quiet about it and didn't want to bring it up.

Seeing that Duan Yu had naturally placed some trust in him, Ji Boying realized that things would be much easier to handle.

He laughed and said, "I also want to do business with you, but I'm afraid you won't agree. Even if you say that, I'll still let you know my methods first."

Duan Yu did not understand Ji Boying's meaning.

Then Ji Boying kicked Madam Ma with his toe.

Madam Ma's delicate body trembled, her heart filled with fear.

"Kang Min, do you know Duan Zhengchun?"

Kang Min was startled by what she heard. For the first time, she raised her pretty face, which was filled with sorrow and fear, and boldly met Ji Boying's gaze.

"You..."

Kang Min didn't know what Ji Boying wanted to say.

Then I saw Ji Boying with a smile on his lips.

Do you know what the relationship is between this young master and Duan Zhengchun?

Kang Min turned her head again and carefully examined Duan Yu once Duan Yu.

He looked at Ji Boying suspiciously.

He forced himself to remain calm.

"Maybe that's the kind of relationship. It just doesn't look like it."

Those unfamiliar with Duan Zhengchun in the martial arts world naturally couldn't understand what kind of riddle he was speaking of.

But Duan Yu had clearly understood.

Somewhat awkwardly, he stood to the side, looking left and right.

A'Zhu, A'Bi, and Wang Yuyan all looked equally embarrassed.

The four of them looked at each other awkwardly and forced smiles.

Having experienced so much in Dali, Duan Yu had long understood what kind of person his father was.

Especially after discovering that A'Zhu was actually his younger sister.

To be honest, Duan Yu is genuinely a little scared now.

You can't possibly treat every pretty girl in the world as your sister, can you?

Having only known A'Zhu for a short time, she became his younger sister on their second meeting.

Duan Yu couldn't help but steal a glance at Wang Yuyan, and felt even more apprehensive.

If every time Duan Yu met a beautiful girl who claimed to be his sister, he would Duan Yu believe her three or four parts of the time.

My own father was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

Some of the more experienced members of the Beggar Gang seemed to have figured something out.

I felt extremely embarrassed.

Duan Zhengchun's name was widely known in the martial arts world.

If their deputy leader's wife really had an affair with Duan Zhengchun, that would be extremely embarrassing.

Kang Min's promiscuity, which led her to seduce Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, and others, resulting in the death of Vice Chief Ma and her plot to harm Xiao Feng, was already a huge blow to the reputation of the Beggar Gang.

Ma Dayuan's reputation, on the contrary, was not damaged.

Although his wife was in such a terrible state, he was secretly murdered by her for the sake of brotherhood and the greater good of the Beggar Gang' Sect.

Although he died, he still left behind some dignity; it was only the Beggar Gang' Sect that lost face.

If they were to find out now that their Deputy Chief Ma's wife was actually Duan Zhengchun's mistress...

This is another shameful thing for their Beggar Gang' Sect.

Even the already deceased Deputy Chief Ma will inevitably suffer a lot of pitiful treatment from the martial arts world.

No man would want to be so pitiful.

"Great Hero Ji... is truly... knowledgeable and well-traveled."

Duan Yu so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow to Ji Boying again.

"Now, no matter what news Great Hero Ji tells me, I will believe it."

Hearing Duan Yu say this, Ji Boying was naturally satisfied.

"Alright, please wait a moment. We'll complete this transaction with Master Xiao first, then it'll be your turn."

Xiao Feng, who was standing to the side, had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

However, Ji Boying had summoned his second brother, Xiao Feng was naturally worried that his brother might also be in trouble and need this urgent message.

Naturally, one can only suppress one's impatience for the time being.

"Brother Ji, am I really Khitan? Who exactly is the Leading Brother?"

Ji Boying nodded.

"Master Xiao, you are only concerned about this. You are indeed Khitan. You have a wolf's head tattooed on your chest, which is something many Khitan like to have tattooed on their chests."

Xiao Feng was surprised and tore open his clothes, revealing a dark green wolf head on his chest.

Xiao Feng usually disliked exposing his chest and breasts, so no one else could know about this.

In addition, there are far too many people in this dynasty who like to get tattoos and embroidery on their bodies.

Some people like to get dragons tattooed on their bodies, some monks like to get floral embroidery tattooed on their bodies, and some romantic rogues also like to get peonies tattooed on their backs.

This was the fashion of the time, and Xiao Feng didn't find it strange at all.

"Indeed, the Khitan did like to tattoo wolf heads on their chests."

This was said by an old man from the Beggar Gang' Sect.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Ji Boying continued speaking.

"Your father is Xiao Yuanshan, the great hero Xiao. In fact, he is still alive."

These words excited not only Xiao Feng.

Elder Tan, Madam Tan, Zhao Qiansun, Monk Zhiguang all changed their expressions.

"Benefactor, is this truly the truth?"

Monk Zhiguang asked nervously.

Ji Boying ignored him, while Xiao Feng anxiously grabbed his shoulder.

"Brother Ji, where is my father... my father... where is he now?"

Ji Boying said.

"Your father is currently living in anonymity, hiding in the Shaolin Temple."

The Monk Zhiguang looked fearful.

Shaolin Temple?

It has become associated with the Shaolin Temple.

The Leading Brother...

Has the Leading Brother's identity been exposed? Is he in danger?

He looked at Ji Boying in horror. What was the relationship between this person and Xiao Yuanshan?

Did he know the true identity of the Leading Brother?

We can't let him say it!

"Who exactly is the Leading Brother?"

Xiao Feng, observing the expressions of the Monk Zhiguang and the others, had already sensed that there was a secret.

It seems that Ji Boying's words were true.

My father is really still alive.

Xiao Feng felt a mix of emotions, both surprised and delighted.

Recalling what happened today, I felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled.

A flood of grievances welled up in my heart.

My own mother was so pitiful, she just died like that?

I must get my revenge!

"Master Xiao, why don't you think about this? Back then, people in the martial arts world were instigated to say that your father went to Shaolin Temple to steal the secret manual. So what kind of person could be the Leading Brother of this group? And what was his connection with Shaolin Temple?"

Xiao Feng's mind went blank for a moment.

This statement makes the implication very clear.

This was indeed something we hadn't expected.

Since the message being released is that his father is going to make things difficult for Shaolin Temple, then how could there not be any famous heroes from Shaolin Temple outside Yanmen Pass?

Looking back now, it's clear that someone who could lead this group must have been highly capable and had a high reputation.

Shaolin Temple is the Mount Tai in the martial arts world, so Brother Shaking Head should naturally be a famous monk from their temple!

"Shut up!"

The Monk Zhiguang shouted loudly.

Zhao Qiansun also shouted, "Don't say it! You can't say it!"

Xiao Feng roared.

"What can't be said? Is it something you can do but not say? What is the truth?"

The Monk Zhiguang pleaded earnestly.

"Benefactor Xiao, we are at fault for everything. If you want to avenge your mother, then kill us."

"But ultimately, it's someone with ulterior motives stirring things up in the shadows. You were also raised by the Shaolin Temple. Considering that kindness of being raised, plus the lives of a few of us, let's settle this matter..."

Xiao Feng remained silent.

He was naturally in a very difficult position.

He knew for certain that even the Leading Brother had been deceived.

The mastermind behind it all is the real culprit.

But his own mother had died at their hands.

But I have indeed received the nurturing grace of Shaolin.

All these entanglements are intertwined, making it impossible to untangle or unravel them.

But Ji Boying did not indulge them.

"The Leading Brother is..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, several men rushed forward, weapons in hand.

Both tense and ferocious.

"Do not lay a hand on them!"

Xiao Feng's large body stood in front of Ji Boying, shielding him from the Ji Boying, including Monk Zhiguang.

But I felt a weight on my shoulder.

It was Ji Boying who placed his hand on his shoulder.

Gently push it to the side.

Since Xiao Feng was not facing an enemy, he could not go all out against Ji Boying, so he was pushed aside.

Ji Boying faced Elder Tan, Madam Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun Monk Zhiguang who rushed towards him.

The Iron-faced Judge and the Dan Family Five Tigers dared not move.

"You keep whining and complaining!"

Several people rushed over, seemingly coming with great force, but none of them could withstand a single blow from Ji Boying.

Elder Tan and Madam Tan were grabbed by both hands by Ji Boying.

They had absolutely no power to resist.

He grabbed one person with each hand and casually threw them at Zhao Qiansun and Monk Zhiguang.

Two loud bangs were heard.

A few muffled groans were hidden within.

All four people were knocked to the ground.

Ji Boying was quite confident.

They didn't actually take the lives of these people.

But just that one shock was enough to make all their joints feel sore and weak.

They also had some fractures in their arms and legs, which served as a punishment for them.

The four people were crushed into a heap in despair.

He had a temper and originally wanted to commit suicide first.

However, because of the impulsive act and the blow from Ji Boying, his whole body felt weak and sore.

My muscles and bones ache slightly all over my body.

Even if you want to die, you can't.

He could only close his eyes in pain and despair, listening to Ji Boying utter those words.

"The Leading Brother back then is now the abbot of Shaolin Temple!"

The Apricot Forest instantly erupted in chaos.

It's all so chaotic, you say I'm calling.

Xiao Feng was lost in thought.

He muttered to himself.

"Yes... yes. He must be a high-ranking monk from Shaolin Temple, highly skilled in martial arts, and also of high moral character and prestige."

"Thirty years ago, although the abbot of Shaolin was young, he was already approaching middle age, which was the time when he was making a name for himself in the martial arts world. He certainly deserved this prestige."

"Now that thirty years have passed, it is only natural that I should become the abbot of Shaolin."

Ji Boying continued speaking without stopping.

"The Leading Brother is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and the one who secretly spread false information and deliberately provoked a war Central Plains martial arts world and the Khitan was Murong Fu's father, Murong Bo!"
