Xiao Feng and Ye Ernian's Grudge

Xiao Feng knew that judging from Ji Boying's behavior, it was likely that another huge scandal involving Shaolin Temple was about to be exposed.

Xiao Feng may have harbored a deep hatred for the Shaolin Temple.

This was especially directed at the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

However, Xiao Feng was ultimately mindful of his own interests, having received a favor from the Shaolin Temple.

And it also involves his Honored Master.

After a slight hesitation, he still decided to save face for Shaolin Temple.

The Beggar Gang' Sect members stepped back.

They seized the Western Xia people and took them to interrogate them about important military matters.

Xiao Feng bowed to Feng Bo'e and Bao Butong.

"Gentlemen, my affair with the Murong Family will be settled sooner or later."

"Firstly, the matter has not yet been clearly clarified. Secondly, it was all done by Murong Bo. Although Young Master Murong is his son, he is ultimately unrelated to this matter."

"I, Xiao, am upright and honest, and I will not hold a grudge against anyone, but that is, after all, the father of Young Master Murong. I would like to ask you two to tell Young Master Murong about this matter and work together to find out the truth."

"In the end, if it is proven that Murong Bo was the one who harmed my Xiao Feng family, then whether Young Master Xiao Feng will become my enemy will depend on his own choice."

The two men looked solemn, while the three women wore expressions of melancholy.

The five people, who had close ties to the Murong Family, were at a loss for what to do.

Feng Bo'e was ultimately won over by Xiao Feng's spirit.

Respectfully clasp your hands in a fist and bow.

"Chief Xiao is upright Feng Bo'e honest, and I truly admire him. If it turns out to be just a misunderstanding, then everyone will be happy. But if my young master really wants to settle things with Chief Xiao, I can only thank him for sparing my life. In that case, we'll have to fight."

Xiao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute but remained silent.

Everything is understood without words.

Bao Butong turned to Wang Yuyan.

"Miss Wang, this matter is of great importance. We must go to Swallow's Dock first to find out the truth. But such a big incident has happened, and the young master is still unaware of it. We need someone to go and deliver a message."

"Is Brother Bao asking me to go and deliver a message to my cousin?"

Wang Yuyan asked.

"Due to a shortage of manpower, we had no choice but to split into two groups."

Bao Butong with melancholy.

According to their information, the young master should be in the direction of Shaolin Temple.

They were worried that their young master might unknowingly run into Xiao Feng, who was on his way to Shaolin Temple to demand an explanation.

In case we start fighting...

Although they all respected their young master, everyone could see clearly how good his kung fu really was.

"Please help us with this, Young Master Duan. Our Murong Family will remember this favor. Please escort us."

Bao Butong actually bowed his head to Duan Yu.

This inevitably made Duan Yu feel good.

I left Taihu Lake in anger because I was ostracized by Bao Butong.

However, Duan Yu was an honest and kind person, and he also liked Wang Yuyan.

Naturally, she happily agreed.

A'Zhu sighed and didn't say anything more.

She knew that Brother Bao was taking advantage of her foolish brother.

Where was the intention to have Duan Yu escort him? It was clearly using Duan Yu's status to make Xiao Feng hesitate and act rashly.

Even if he couldn't use the Duan Family of Dali to intimidate Xiao Feng, Duan Yu and Xiao Feng were sworn brothers after all. Out of respect for Duan Yu, Xiao Feng couldn't make things difficult for the Murong Family.

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

The two men turned and left.

Three worried women were left behind.

A'Zhu A'Bi have received great kindness from the Murong Family, and now they are caught in the middle, which is truly worrying.

Although A'Zhu admired Xiao Feng's prowess, he had now become enemies with the Murong Family, which naturally put her in a difficult position.

We can only play it by ear.

After Bao Butong left, Feng Bo'e was left with only three women and Xiao Feng's own people.

There's no need to worry about that.

Xiao Feng gestured for Ji Boying to continue.

Ji Boying continued to recount these old stories one by one.

"I have no grudge against Ye Ernian, but I have a grudge against you. I want to torture and kill her just to avenge the innocent infants who died at her hands. Such a beast has no right to live in this world."

"The reason I say you have a grudge against her is rather complicated. Back then, Xuan Ci harmed your family, and since your father didn't die, you wanted revenge."

"Firstly, he secretly read martial arts manuals at Shaolin Temple. Secondly, he stole Xuan Ci's son."

"Abbot Xuan Ci's son?"

The two men and three women all screamed in surprise.

They were all greatly surprised.

Who would have thought that the highly respected Abbot Xuan Ci had not only committed the grave mistake of causing the death of Xiao Feng's family, but had also done something else entirely?

It's somewhat understandable that Abbot Xuan Ci was deceived and harmed Xiao Feng's family.

After all, in times of war, if someone said that a certain island nation or a certain force in the East China Sea was going to attack a certain place, the people of the Central Plains would probably not be able to remain indifferent.

If word of this gets out in the future, it will indeed be a disgrace to the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and Xiao Feng's family will be left in the dark.

However, it did not damage the reputation of Shaolin Temple.

Most people can only sigh with regret.

I don't think Xuan Ci really did much wrong.

However, to say that Abbot Xuan Ci has a son would be a great disgrace.

Everyone would call him a lewd monk.

Especially since this lewd monk became the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the entire Shaolin Temple was shrouded in a shadow.

If people find out that this Shaolin abbot who broke the rules had a mistress who was the infamous Ye Ernian in the martial arts world, then it will be a great loss.

This inevitably raises suspicions about whether there was any cover-up.

Over the past twenty years, at least five or six thousand infants have died at the hands of Ye Ernian.

Even if it's insufficient, it's still no less than several thousand.

This is an enormous and heinous crime.

People will inevitably blame the Shaolin Temple for this.

"That's right. Back then, the Xuan Ci Xuanci and this Ye Ernian were inseparable and later had a son."

"Her son was then stolen by a mysterious person, and from then on, she went mad. Every day she would steal or snatch a child, pretend to be their mother, and play with them until she was done..."

Xiao Feng was lost in thought.

He remembered Ji Boying had just said about Ye Ernian having a grudge against him.

"Could it be... could it be that the mysterious person is...?"

Ji Boying nodded and said, "That's right, that person is your father, Xiao Yuanshan."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Abbot Xuan Ci harmed Xiao Yuanshan's family, so Xiao Yuanshan simply accepted the infamy and went to Shaolin Temple to steal secret manuals.

He also wanted to take revenge on Abbot Xuan Ci for stealing his son, so that he too could experience the pain of separation from his flesh and blood.

"Then wouldn't Ye Ernian's sins be..."

Xiao Feng's expression was rather unpleasant.

The root of the problem lies here.

An upright person like him is bound to take responsibility upon himself.

Ji Boying waved his hand.

"Sigh... What does this have to do with you? Xuan Ci ruined your family, so it's only fair that your father seeks revenge on Xuan Ci."

"If Ye Ernian devoted herself to searching for her son after losing him, or if she ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures, built bridges and roads, and prayed to the Bodhisattva for protection, she would still be a pitiful person."

"But she hurts the innocent, she is cruel and vicious. The crimes she committed have nothing to do with others. She deserves to die."

Xiao Feng didn't say anything, but he still breathed a sigh of relief and felt slightly relieved.

"It is precisely because of the example of Ye Ernian that Brother Xiao needs to stop your father as soon as possible. It is understandable that he would retaliate against Xuan Ci, but if he also takes his anger out on innocent bystanders, your Shaolin Temple master, your adoptive parents..."

"In this way, things will truly become a tangled mess, and he will no longer be an innocent person."

"Wouldn't that force me to cut myself off from the martial world and the Central Plains?"

Xiao Feng was startled upon hearing this.

Although judging from today's situation, it is almost certain that he is Khitan.

Even though Xiao Feng was able to accept his identity as Khitan, it was partly due to Ji Boying's encouragement and partly due to the influence of the Beggar Gang' Sect members.

The sense of contradiction is not as strong as I imagined.

Deep down, I feel closer to the Han Chinese.

But once his own father killed his master, and then his parents, even Xiao Feng himself didn't know how to get along with his father.

Should we pity him, respect him, or hate him?

The only solution is to stop him from doing such a thing.

Even though my father had already taken revenge on Abbot Xuan Ci of Shaolin, it was just a normal act of revenge, and no one could find fault with it.

Apart from that, her father hadn't done anything outrageous.

No one in the martial arts world can criticize him.

The father and son can sit upright and proper wherever they go.

It was the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts world who had wronged him and his son, not the other way around.

Of course, even if you are involved in the deaths of the descendants of those killed by your father outside Yanmen Pass, you have no right to cause trouble for your family.

After all, they were ruthlessly killing a woman who was holding an infant and had no martial arts skills.

The father was merely retaliating.

Only then did Xiao Feng remember what Ji Boying had said at the beginning: to deliver news of his father, he would also have to take several lives with him.

The lives lost in this incident would inevitably be those of his master and adoptive parents.

It seems that Ji Boying realized that his father intended to kill him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng felt anxious.

I wish I could sprout wings and fly to Shaolin Temple.

"Thank you for informing me, brother. I will never forget your great kindness! I am anxious and must go ahead."

Xiao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute and nodded to Duan Yu.

Everyone knew the gravity of the situation, and no one stopped Xiao Feng.

Ji Boying then spoke up to give him further instructions.

"First, find your father and settle your adoptive parents in. Then, confront Abbot Xuan Ci of Shaolin Temple. Whatever the outcome, you must protect yourself."

"Don't worry, brother. I know how powerful the Shaolin Temple is."

Xiao Feng nodded with a slightly solemn expression.

Although most of the people from Shaolin Temple were no match for him.

But they are, after all, a group of experts and a large number of people.

Two fists can't beat four hands.

Getting involved with Shaolin Temple is indeed a difficult situation to resolve.

"It's not that we need to be careful of Shaolin Temple, but rather that we need to be careful of Murong Bo."

Ji Boying continued.

"Although there are bad apples in Shaolin Temple, these monks are still considered to be on the right path. With your and your father's martial arts skills, you can protect yourselves without any worries."

"But if he is injured, it would be unkind for Murong Bo to secretly take advantage of his misfortune."

A'Zhu and A'Bi both lowered their heads.

The two of them didn't know what to do.

Although they felt that everyone was talking badly about their old master, they couldn't bring themselves to refute him when they thought about the things he had done.

"Does brother mean that Murong Bo is also at Shaolin Temple?"

"That's right. Once you found your father, you should know that there was another man in black who was secretly learning martial arts manuals at Shaolin Temple with your father. That man was Murong Bo."

"Murong Bo faked his death to escape, partly to stir up trouble in secret, and partly to steal martial arts skills from Shaolin Temple."

"With your martial arts skills, you naturally don't need to be afraid of him. However, it would be difficult to deal with both Shaolin Temple and Murong Bo at the same time."

Xiao Feng nodded solemnly.

On the contrary, it made things easier.

Hearing Ji Boying's account, and also hearing about the things his own biological father had experienced, he felt a surge of inspiration.

It's not hard to imagine that the father's personality changed drastically; he might have become stubborn and even crazy.

If I were to meet myself, I would definitely cause a huge uproar at Shaolin Temple.

I'm caught in the middle, with my master on the other side; it's a really difficult situation.

If there is a hidden threat from Murong Bo, they can temporarily keep their father in check and keep the situation under control.

"Don't fight in the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Depository either. There lives a Sweeper Monk there whose skill is unparalleled throughout history and can be called the best in the world."

"You'll probably need two or three of him to be able to match him, so don't be careless."

"He was originally a highly accomplished monk. If he were to forcefully resolve the feud between your two families with his profound martial arts skills, things would become very difficult."

Ji Boying casually recounted yet another piece of news that left everyone speechless.

In the eyes of those present, Xiao Feng's strength was absolutely second to none in the world.

Especially his skill level; although he wasn't as good as those old guys, he had a great talent for fighting.

In a real fight, it would be difficult to find many opponents.

Unexpectedly, there was a master in Shaolin Temple who could take down two or three Xiao Feng.

Judging from Ji Boying's tone, it seems that even the people of Shaolin Temple themselves did not know that there was such a high monk.

"There really is such a master? I understand now, thank you so much, brother."

Ji Boying waved his hand.

"Master Xiao, you may take your leave now. I have a few more words to say to Duan Yu."

Duan Yu suddenly tensed up.

I also thought of the two words "deal" that we had just agreed on.

I wasn't particularly interested in this deal at first.

But they watched as Ji Boying unleashed one shocking piece of news after another that reverberated throughout the martial arts world.

This inevitably made Duan Yu nervous.

I wonder if he has also been caught in some huge vortex of the martial arts world?

Xiao Feng nodded and flew away.

Ji Boying's warning to him to be careful of the Sweeper Monk was also out of personal motives.

Perhaps letting their two families fight in the Scripture Depository Pavilion, with the Sweeper Monk resolving their feud, would be a decent ending for Xiao Feng.

But Ji Boying felt utterly disgusted by this outcome.

How many people did Murong Bo secretly kill?

How many schemes and tricks did they commit?

Why is he still alive?

Can fasting and chanting Buddhist prayers atone for his sins?

Although his martial arts skills had vanished, he was free from physical pain.

Instead, they found spiritual refuge in the presence of the Buddha and the lamp.

He achieved enlightenment on the spot, finding peace of mind and body.

As for Xiao Yuanshan, if he were to immediately devote himself to Buddhism and live a life of seclusion, it would be a good ending.

He only took revenge on Xuan Ci; he killed many people on the spot to avenge his wife and children, which is barely acceptable.

Therefore, Xiao Yuanshan is not guilty at present.

But how could Xiao Yuanshan, who had already laid down his weapons and resolved his grudges, suddenly become a Buddha?

Xuan Ku is one thing, after all, he is from Shaolin Temple, so he naturally has to bear some of the consequences.
