Chapter 65
"Sect Master!"
Several elders of the Beggar Sect grew anxious as they saw Qiao Feng preparing to abdicate. Over the years, Qiao Feng had rendered distinguished service to the Beggar Sect, and the sect had grown and flourished under his leadership; if Qiao Feng abdicated, the Beggar Sect would inevitably decline.
"Say no more. I am not a Han, so I am no longer fit to serve as the Beggar Sect's Sect Master. Everyone, the green hills remain, the clear waters flow—we shall meet again!"
Qiao Feng cupped his hands toward the members of the Beggar Sect to bid them farewell.
"Brother Lin, do you know where South South Murong Bo is? I wish to find him and seek my revenge!" Qiao Feng walked up to Lin Fan and asked.
"Not so, not so! Everything he said is one-sided and hardly credible. Besides, my Master passed away many years ago; even if this matter truly concerned him, you would not be able to find him now!"
The foul-mouthed Bao Butong had woken up at some point, and the moment he opened his mouth, it was "not so, not so."
One had to admit he was truly tough; his mouth had been slashed by a sword from Huang Rong and was bleeding incessantly, yet he was still there going on with his "not so, not so!"
"South South Murong Bo's scheme succeeded back then, but fearing that Xuan Ci would react and come looking for trouble, he could only fake his death to escape. All these years, just like Xiao Yuanshan, he has been hiding in the Scripture Pavilion of the Shaolin Temple. Xiao Yuanshan has also encountered him frequently. This pair of enemies has spent so many years without recognizing each other, always remaining at peace."
"What did you say? My greatest enemy is him?"
Xiao Yuanshan was shocked; he had never imagined that he had been living day and night with his greatest enemy without knowing it.
The others were also shocked. What shocked them was how the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Pavilion had become like a backyard garden where everyone was hiding.
"You say the Master is still alive? That's impossible!"
Bao Butong was also shocked, even forgetting to say his favorite catchphrase, "not so, not so."
"Since that is the case, many thanks to Brother Lin for the information. My father and I will go find the mastermind now. We shall meet again if fate allows!"
Qiao Feng cupped his hands toward Lin Fan and prepared to take his leave. Having learned who the leader was and who the mastermind behind the scenes was, he had to go seek his revenge.
"Wait, Brother Qiao, drink some wine before you go. Lv He, go bring the wine over!"
Upon hearing this, Lv He turned and walked toward the carriage, brought the wine over, and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it, drank several large gulps, and then tossed it to Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng laughed heartily, lifted the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, and after finishing it, he flung the jar aside.
"Brother Lin, knowing you is Qiao Feng's greatest honor. I hope that when we meet next time, we can have another good drink!"
"Take care, Brother Qiao!"
"Take care!"
Qiao Feng left with Xiao Yuanshan, and Lin Fan also took the young women and departed.
As for what would happen when the Western Xia Yipintang attacked later, that was none of Lin Fan's business; he wasn't the one who planned it.
Azhu drove the carriage toward Wuxi City; they planned to return to Songhe Tower to stay for the night first.
"Feifei, now that you've left with us, your grandfather is probably going to be worried sick!"
Lin Fan lay on Lv He's lap, teasing Qu Feiyan.
"It's all Brother Lin Fan's fault for exposing Feifei. Otherwise, no one would know Feifei's identity, Feifei wouldn't be in danger, and I wouldn't have to shamelessly follow Brother Lin Fan!" Qu Feiyan said resentfully.
"Haha, my fault, my fault!"
Lin Fan did not refute her; it was indeed his own problem.
The group chatted and laughed as they returned to Songhe Tower. At this moment, an old man was already so anxious he was about to jump. He had left Qu Feiyan here to eat, thinking that since no one knew her, it should be fine, but he hadn't expected something to go wrong.
When he returned to Songhe Tower, he discovered that Qu Feiyan was gone. After using the Black Blood Divine Needle to interrogate a few people, Qu Yang learned that Qu Feiyan had left on her own with a young master and his maids.
"Grandfather!"
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Songhe Tower, and Qu Feiyan saw the anxious Qu Yang at a glance.
"Feifei, where did you go? You worried Grandfather to death!" Qu Yang hurried over and asked anxiously.
"I went to Xingzi Forest with Brother Lin Fan to watch the Beggar Sect assembly. Who told you not to leave me money for food!" Qu Feiyan grabbed Qu Yang's beard and complained.
"Grandfather forgot. It's all Grandfather's fault!"
Qu Yang apologized quickly and stopped Qu Feiyan. He only had a few strands of his beard left; if he let her keep playing, his beard wouldn't be saved.
"This young master, thank you for taking care of Feifei!" Qu Yang said gratefully to Lin Fan.
"Feifei is innocent and lively; I like her very much too!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Feifei, say goodbye to this young master; we have to go!"
"Goodbye Brother Lin Fan, Sister Huang Rong, Sister Yuyan, Sister Azhu, Sister Abi, Sister Lv He!" Qu Feiyan said goodbye to Lin Fan and the others obediently.
"Goodbye, Feifei!"
The group also said goodbye to Qu Feiyan, and then Qu Yang took Qu Feiyan and left.
"The little girl is gone. It's really a bit uncomfortable to have one less person chattering by my side!" Lin Fan shook his head and said.
"Then why didn't the Young Master keep her?" Lv He asked curiously.
"Of course she has to follow her grandfather. What reason would we have to keep her?"
"The little girl is gone, will a little lady do?" A girl dressed in purple walked over and asked.
"?"
All the women were a bit stunned. Who was this overly familiar girl?
"Why aren't you speaking? Am I not good-looking?" The girl in purple patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.
"You look alright, but having a heart that is too vicious won't do!"
Lin Fan pulled a massive centipede out of his sleeve.
"Hmph, take this hidden weapon!"
The girl in purple's expression changed, and after a loud shout, she threw out a handful of powder.
"Little girl, you don't play by the rules. You said you were throwing a hidden weapon, but it turned out to be powder?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly; this girl was truly poisonous from head to toe.
"All is fair in war. You have already been poisoned by me. From now on, you must listen to me, otherwise you are dead!" The girl in purple said playfully.
"Is that so? What if I don't want to listen?"
"You aren't even afraid of death?" The girl in purple was a bit surprised.
"I am afraid, but I am immune to all poisons. Your little tricks can't kill me."
"I don't believe it. Take my One-Day Life-Severing Powder!" The girl in purple said, scattering another handful of powder.
"Stop messing around, Seeing Azi!"
Lin Fan blew it away with his true qi. Although he wasn't afraid of poison, he didn't want to be covered in powder either.
"You know I am Seeing Azi?" The girl in purple asked curiously.
"You are Seeing Azi?"
Azhu became excited. Wang Yuyan was only a half-sister, but Seeing Azi was her own biological sister!
