Chapter 91: Watching from the Sidelines

After the battle with Sakai, Chen Jiang returned to the Daoist hall to recuperate.

Seeing Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai, who had followed him back, he immediately asked, "Why were you two there?"

Lin Zhengfeng bowed and said, "Brother Jiang, it was Martial Uncle who sent us there."

"Martial Uncle?" Chen Jiang was puzzled for a moment. Thinking of the timing of Mitaro's appearance, he muttered, "Could it be that Martial Uncle knew I hadn't killed Sakai, and also knew that Sakai would go to the school?"

"But if Martial Uncle knew everything, why didn't he act himself? Was it just to arrange a trial for me?"

Hearing Chen Jiang's self-talk, Lin Zhengfeng said, "Brother Jiang, I think Martial Uncle's arrangement is not wrong; you do indeed still need to be tempered."

Chen Jiang immediately glared and said, "Ah Feng, you brat, when did it become your turn to lecture me?"

Zhong Fabai, however, said, "I think Martial Uncle is wrong. Since he knew, he should have acted immediately to resolve it."

Chen Jiang looked at Zhong Fabai with a smile, but the scene he expected did not occur. He wondered, "That shouldn't be right. Martial Uncle is truly biased."

"Ouch!"

Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai hurriedly shrank their necks and lowered their heads.

Chen Jiang hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Martial Uncle, I'm sorry."

That feeling from the netherworld then vanished.

Chen Jiang said irritably, "Look, you've all seen Martial Uncle's strength. Wouldn't that Sakai be finished off with a single sword strike?"

"His elderly self must be busy with some major task, so let's just handle the minor matters in his eyes."

Lin Zhengfeng asked, "Brother Jiang, do you intend to deal with that Sakai?"

Chen Jiang waved his hand and said, "I'll rest for a while first, we'll talk about it later."

Zhong Fabai said solemnly, "If no one deals with that Sakai, I'm afraid he will harm the innocent."

Mitaro appeared quietly and smiled, "Rest assured, that won't happen."

Lin Zhengfeng hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle Mitaro, do you know where Sakai is?"

Mitaro nodded slightly and said, "He should be at Yu Dahai's house right now, having taken his daughter away."

Zhong Fabai immediately shouted, "What, Teacher is in danger!"

Mitaro hurriedly pulled back the impatient Zhong Fabai and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger. That Sakai is looking for a batch of gold, which seems to have been embezzled by this Yu Dahai."

"Before he gets the gold, your teacher will not be in any life-threatening danger."

Lin Zhengfeng frowned and asked, "Uncle Mitaro, is this all Martial Uncle's arrangement?"

Mitaro nodded and said, "Of course. The Master said this is a trial arranged for you."

He looked at the somewhat angry Zhong Fabai and smiled, "Kid, this is indeed a bit heartless, but if the Master weren't there, you wouldn't be facing this situation as easily as you are now."

"Don't always think about relying on others; becoming strong yourself is the truth. Just like now, the Master could kill Sakai as easily as crushing an ant, but what about you?"

"Kid, are you going to keep complaining, or find a way to deal with Sakai? Think about it carefully."

Mitaro turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated directly.

Zhong Fabai still didn't quite understand and said, "If I had one-tenth of Martial Uncle's magic power, all the ghosts and monsters within a hundred miles would have to die!"

Lin Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "You see, in the end, one still needs high-level magic power. Let's think of a way."

Both children sighed.

At Feie Mountain, Mitaro returned to Zhang Cheng's side.

Mitaro lowered his head and said, "Master, is this really okay?"

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Only in this way can they grow up. A great change in heaven and earth is imminent, and I need to deal with many emergencies; it is inevitable that there will be oversights."

"If they don't amount to anything, not only are they in danger, but when those around them are in danger, they can only watch helplessly as the other party is killed. Will it be too late to regret it then?"

"Mitaro, with the great change in heaven and earth, demons, spirits, and monsters will not be easy to survive. A thousand-year-old demon like you will also die within a few decades. Convert to a ghost cultivator early; I will reserve a position of Martial Judge for you."

Mitaro immediately pledged, "Master, I will do exactly as you wish."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Mm, these days, you just follow those kids. I have to wait at least until this Pagoda Building is finished before I can have any free time."

Mitaro promised, "Master, rest assured, I will protect them well."

The news of Yu Bixin being taken away was soon known by Zhong Bang, and he planned to go save her himself.

Zhong Jun hurriedly stopped her younger brother and said, "Abang, don't be impulsive. That Sakai is very powerful; you will definitely be in danger if you go!"

Zhong Bang said anxiously, "So what if it's dangerous? I have to find a way to save Bixin!"

Zhong Jun also looked anxious and said, "But don't you often avoid her anyway? Just let Yu Dahai find a way himself; anyway, what Sakai wants is that batch of gold."

Zhong Bang looked angry and said with disdain, "How could a person like Yu Dahai save Bixin for money? Alright, sister, don't worry about it, I'll find a way myself."

Zhong Jun wanted to pull her brother back, but was shaken off by Zhong Bang.

She stomped her feet in anxiety and cursed, "Oh, what should I do? Mao Xiaofang, why are you not here at such a critical moment!"

He Daijin, who was on the side, immediately said, "Why not go find that Maoshan disciple?"

Zhong Jun said guiltily, "Go find that Chen Jiang? Isn't that seeking one's own death?"

He Daijin spread her hands and said, "Master, then there's no other way."

Zhong Jun gritted her teeth and muttered, "Oh, forget it, forget it. If I die, I die. Abang, you brat, you've really killed me!"

Having said that, Zhong Jun hurried to the Maoshan Daoist Temple.

Only Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai were working in the hall.

Zhong Jun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Hey, kids, where is Master Chen?"

Zhong Fabai immediately recognized Zhong Jun and said irritably, "Ah, I know you. You actually dared to ruin our Maoshan reputation, and now you dare to come here? You really have guts."

Lin Zhengfeng also looked unhappy and said, "What, want to challenge the hall?"

Zhong Jun didn't have that kind of courage and hurriedly apologized with a smile, "The two little masters are joking. I'm just trying to make a living."

"I have something urgent to find Master Chen for."

Seeing that the anxiety on Zhong Jun's face did not seem fake, Lin Zhengfeng raised his hand to signal Zhong Fabai, who was about to make a sarcastic remark, and asked, "Speak, what is it?"

Zhong Jun hesitated and said, "Is it useful to tell you all?"

Zhong Fabai retorted, "Senior Brother is busy, do you have something to say or not?"

Zhong Jun dared not refute and hurriedly said, "It is like this, Yu Dahai's daughter has been kidnapped, and now my younger brother has gone to save her, but he is just an ordinary person, how could he be a match for Sakai? I ask Master Chen to please step in and help."

At this moment, Yu Dahai also arrived at the Daoist hall with Detective Ke, and he shouted, "Master Chen, help!"

Lin Zhengfeng had long since known the ins and outs of the matter and said irritably, "Quiet, Senior Brother will decide what to do himself!"
