Chapter 24: Chatting with Qiao Feng, exposing the truth behind Ma Dayuan

Abbot Xuan Ci, asking about the whereabouts of his own son!

In truth, when Xuan Ci invited him for a chat, Li Li Lianhua had already roughly guessed it in his heart!

It was just that Xuan Ci did not ask him about this matter in private, but rather in front of these few high monks of the "Xuan" generation.

It seems Xuan Ci truly harbors a heart set on death, which is why he no longer has the mind to hide or conceal many things!

"Since the Abbot has asked, I naturally have no intention of hiding it!"

"In fact, the Abbot’s child has the Dharma name Xu Zhu at the Shaolin Temple!"

"Back then, perhaps to commemorate the fate shared with the Abbot, when the child was born, Ye Ye Erniang burned nine incense scars on the child’s back!"

He had previously intended to expose Xu Zhu’s identity, but at the time, Ye Ye Erniang stopped him from speaking, so he had not said anything! **CHAPTER 51**

Now that Abbot Xuan Ci had asked in person, Li Li Lianhua informed him of Xu Zhu’s identity!

"So it was him, so that is how it is!" Hearing this, Abbot Xuan Ci said with a dazed expression!

The few high monks of the "Xuan" generation nearby, upon learning of Xu Zhu’s identity, also whispered to one another!

"Fellow junior brothers, in the future, I entrust that child Xu Zhu to your care!" Xuan Ci followed up, bowing and saluting his junior brothers!

"Sect Leader brother..." The few high monks of the "Xuan" generation rose to greet him.

Seeing that these Shaolin high monks had matters to discuss among themselves, Li Li Lianhua was naturally very tactful and took his leave, not listening to their affairs!

"Divine Physician Li!"

Not long after Li Li Lianhua walked out of the side hall, a call rang out; he saw Qiao Feng standing not far away, greeting him!

"Hero Qiao, I trust you have been well!" Li Li Lianhua walked up.

"Divine Physician Li, thank you for informing me of Sister A'Zhu’s background. She has already reunited with her parents, but..." Walking to Li Li Lianhua’s side, Qiao Feng offered his thanks.

However, when he reached the end, there was some hesitation in his expression!

"But what?" Hearing this, Li Li Lianhua asked Qiao Feng with some surprise!

"It is just that, although Prince Duan is happy to reunite with Sister A'Zhu, his 'virtuous brother' is not Prince Duan’s biological son. This matter has been quite a blow to Prince Duan!" Hearing this, Qiao Feng said with a bitter smile!

"Those who kill will be killed; likewise, those who wear a green hat will be made to wear one, I suppose!"

"Prince Duan is amorous, leaving behind illegitimate daughters everywhere, so it is a form of retribution that his own son is not his biological child!"

"No, that’s not quite right. The true retribution should be that so many illegitimate daughters are living well, while his only illegitimate son was strangled to death by his own hand!"

Regarding those romantic debts of Duan Duan Zhengchun, Li Li Lianhua shook his head and said with a sigh!

"Ah? Divine Physician Li knows so much about Prince Duan’s affairs? He actually had an illegitimate son? But, who was it that strangled him?"

Currently, the South Murong Bo family had not yet arrived, so the main business of the Hero Gathering had not begun. Qiao Feng was quite interested in the gossip from Li Li Lianhua’s mouth!

Besides, these matters could be considered the family affairs of his "virtuous brother," right?

If he knew a little more, perhaps he could be of help?

"Speaking of this person, Hero Qiao, you also know her. It is the wife of the Beggar Sect’s Deputy Chief Ma Dayuan, Kang Min!"

Li Li Lianhua glanced at Qiao Feng and said with a strange expression.

"It was her?" Hearing this, Qiao Feng’s spirit jolted!

Even though Li Li Lianhua had already exposed the truth about his own background and even the cause and effect!

However, regarding the Xingzilin Assembly, when Madam Ma exposed his Khitan identity and even framed him, Qiao Feng had never been able to understand it. He had never had any grievances with the Madam, so why did she specifically frame him?

"Does Divine Physician Li also know about Madam Ma’s affairs? I wonder if you could tell me? Especially, why did she go to such lengths to frame me and deal with me?" Qiao Feng asked, pursuing the matter out of curiosity!

"In fact, Prince Duan of Dali is an amorous man who falls in love with every woman he meets, yet he dares not marry them home. You already know this!"

"And among the women who had a connection with Prince Duan, Madam Ma is a rather special one!"

"Because she is the only one who gave birth to a son for Duan Duan Zhengchun; the others all gave birth to daughters!"

"However, seeing that Duan Duan Zhengchun had no intention of marrying her, Kang Min strangled her own son to death in order to successfully marry Ma Dayuan, so as not to be dragged down by him!"

"As for why she wanted to frame you?"

"It’s very simple. Compared to that old man Ma Dayuan, the Deputy Chief, you, the young and vigorous Chief, were much more attractive to her!"

"Unfortunately, you were indifferent to her seduction, and thus, she bore a grudge in her heart!"

"Furthermore, there is one more point: Ma Dayuan’s death was actually because he caught her having an affair with Bai Bai Shijing, and was killed by Bai Bai Shijing by accident!" Li Li Lianhua added casually!

"So, the truth of the matter was actually like this..." Upon learning these truths, Qiao Feng’s heart was shaken.

(Today’s evaluation tickets are only 30-something, so? The conditions for an extra update tomorrow cannot be met?). **CHAPTER 52**

Regarding Li Li Lianhua’s intelligence-gathering ability, Qiao Feng was completely convinced!

Therefore, even though it was only Li Li Lianhua’s side of the story, Qiao Feng had not the slightest doubt about his words!

To think that Kang Min was actually so vicious?

As the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its own cubs! She was actually able to strangle her own biological son.

Furthermore, he must find an opportunity to expose the truth about Ma Dayuan’s death!

Although he was no longer the Chief of the Beggar Sect, and because of his Khitan identity, it would be even more impossible to be the Chief in the future.

But Deputy Chief Ma’s death was, after all, the root cause of everything. If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but since he knew, he naturally had to expose the murderer!

"They’re here, they’re here, South Murong Bo is here!"

As Li Li Lianhua and Qiao Feng were chatting and talking, suddenly, a loud shout rang out!

They saw that South Murong Bo, having dressed himself up anew, had arrived at the Shaolin Temple accompanied by Seeing Jiumozhi!

Since South Murong Bo had also arrived, the Shaolin Temple’s Hero Gathering could naturally be considered officially started.

A group of high monks from the Shaolin Temple, led by Xuan Ci, also came out. Hundreds, or even thousands, of Daxi Jiang Hu travelers completely filled the square outside the Shaolin Temple.

"Everyone..."

Abbot Xuan Ci, as the host of this Hero Gathering, said: "Nowadays, the Great Song Daxi Jiang Hu is surging with wind and clouds, mainly concentrated on the battle at Yanmen Pass back then!"

"To this day, it has led to the successive deaths of people like Tan Gong and Tan Po, and even my junior brother Xuan Ku!"

"Today, this poor monk has convened the Hero Gathering with the goal of completely resolving the matters of the past!"

"I invite all heroes to come and bear witness!"

Xuan Ci spoke, first setting the tone for today’s Hero Gathering!

"Abbot Xuan Ci, you had an affair with the wicked Ye Ye Erniang and even gave birth to a child. How can someone like you convince the heroes of the world?"

However, as soon as Abbot Xuan Ci’s words fell, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly!

"That’s right, that’s right. As a monk, not only did you have an affair, but you also have a child. How can such a person be the Abbot of the Shaolin Temple?"

"This Shaolin Temple is truly a place that hides filth and holds dirt!"

"With such a person, you still hold a Hero Gathering? Where does the face come from?"

Many Daxi Jiang Hu travelers whispered and discussed, the buzzing sound ringing incessantly in the ears.

"Sigh..." Although he had long been mentally prepared, looking at the scene before him, Xuan Ci still sighed silently in his heart!

He then spoke, his voice like a great bell, drowning out everyone else: "Regarding my own affairs, today, I will also give an account to Shaolin and to the Daxi Jiang Hu!"

Very well, hearing such a promise from Abbot Xuan Ci in public, the discussion in the square finally slowly subsided!

"Old Benefactor South Murong!"

After controlling the scene, Abbot Xuan Ci looked at South Murong Bo and said: "Back then, I was on intimate terms with you, so when you sent me a letter saying that a group of Khitan warriors would come to the Shaolin Temple to seize martial arts manuals, I did not have the slightest doubt!"

"Thus, I gathered the various heroes to intercept them at Yanmen Pass, which led to the destruction of Elder Xiao’s family!"

"For this matter, Old Benefactor South Murong, you should give an account to me, to Elder Xiao, and to the world, right?"

However, before South Murong Bo could answer, Xiao Xiao Yuanshan nearby snorted coldly: "Hmph, what is there to account for? Daxi Jiang Hu matters are settled by Daxi Jiang Hu ways; let’s pay with this old scoundrel’s life!"

"That’s right, Daxi Jiang Hu matters are settled by Daxi Jiang Hu ways!"

However, as Xiao Xiao Yuanshan’s voice fell, before South Murong Bo could reply, South Murong Fu jumped out holding a long sword.

Then, drawing his long sword, he pointed it directly at Li Li Lianhua’s side and said loudly: "The affairs of my South Murong family were all spoken of by you, Li Li Lianhua!"

"You spoke your mind, but you have caused my South Murong family great trouble!"

"Today, I, South Murong Fu, will resolve this matter according to Daxi Jiang Hu ways. Li Li Lianhua, Daxi Jiang Hu rumors say your martial arts are extraordinary, make your move!"

"Young Master South Murong!"

At this moment, Qiao Feng stepped forward, his voice heroic: "The Daxi Jiang Hu says 'North Qiao Feng, South South Murong,' placing me and you, Young Master South Murong, on equal footing. Today, for this battle, I, Qiao, will accept it on behalf of Divine Physician Li!"

The reason Li Li Lianhua exposed all of this was for his sake.

Now that South Murong Fu wanted to challenge Li Li Lianhua because of this matter, Qiao Feng naturally could not stand by and watch!

"Amitabha!" Seeing Jiumozhi, who was beside South Murong Bo, pressed his palms together, his expression showing some guilt!

However, since South Murong Fu was challenging him fair and square today, it was not easy for him to intervene and stop it!

"Hero Qiao, there is no need. Since Young Master South Murong is challenging me, and it just so happens that my hands have been itching lately, I will play a few moves with him!"

Regarding Qiao Feng accepting the challenge on his behalf, although Li Li Lianhua felt a secret sense of admiration for his chivalry, he spoke up to indicate that he could handle it!

He had been practicing the Great Dao of Taiji Taiji Xuanqing for some time, and he had already reached the fifth level of the Yuqing Realm in his immortal cultivation technique!

Why not take this opportunity to try it out?

As the saying goes, having achieved success in immortal cultivation, not showing it off in public is simply like walking in the dark in silk robes! **CHAPTER 53**
