Chapter 23

Wang Yue was in his study, reviewing the medical books he had collected.

Abi, holding a new set of medical books, walked into the study. Seeing Wang Yue's focused gaze, her heart ached.

Over the years, Wang Yue had tried every possible method to treat his father, Wang Danhe's illness. Now, he had started to specialize in medical skills.

Hearing the footsteps, Wang Yue looked up and smiled, "Abi, you're back."

Abi put down the medical books, hugged Wang Yue, and said, "Brother Wang Yue, don't work so hard. There must be a way to treat Father's illness. The Beggar Sect boasts a million members; with their numbers, they can surely find the Purple Sun Bamboo."

Abi thought to herself, "Brother Wang Yue, how can I help you?"

Wang Yue patted Abi's back and smiled, "Don't worry. With my martial arts, I can handle this much effort. I can't rely entirely on the Beggar Sect. If they can't find the Purple Sun Bamboo, I'll think of another way. I don't believe that only the Purple Sun Bamboo can cure my father's illness. There must be other medicines that haven't been discovered yet."

"My greatest wish in life is for my family to be safe and to pass on the internal martial arts. I wonder if these two things can be accomplished?"

Abi looked into Wang Yue's eyes, "Brother Wang Yue, I believe in you. You can definitely do it."

Wang Yue looked at the books on the desk and smiled, "Is this the medical book you found?"

Abi nodded, "Yes, these medical books were found in Suzhou City. I've gathered all the medical books available in Suzhou."

Wang Yue smiled, "You've worked hard, Abi."

Abi shook her head, "I'm not tired. I just want to help Brother Wang Yue. Brother Wang Yue, you read the books. I'll go make you some ginseng soup."

Abi left the study, and Wang Yue smiled, "Abi is kind-hearted and considerate. It's a blessing to have such a wife."

...

Wang Shan and Wang He, along with several disciples from the National Martial Arts Hall, were quickly on their way.

"Brother Shan, there's an inn ahead. Let's rest here today. We can continue our journey early tomorrow. It's not far from here to Juxian Manor; we can definitely arrive by tomorrow afternoon."

Wang He said to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan nodded, "Alright. Everyone, dismount, eat something, and rest well. We'll continue our journey tomorrow."

"Yes."

Although Wang Yue was the head of the Suzhou National Martial Arts Hall, the actual manager was Wang Shan. Wang Shan's internal martial arts had reached the middle stage of hidden strength, making him the second most powerful person in the hall after Wang Yue. Even the teaching of martial arts was usually handled by Wang Shan. Therefore, Wang Shan was the true master of the National Martial Arts Hall, with even more prestige than Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was now just a spiritual symbol of the Suzhou National Martial Arts Hall.

Entering the inn, they ordered a lot of food. Wang He said, "Brother Shan, this trip to Juxian Manor will likely be another storm of blood and wind. Sigh, I wonder if the You brothers are just bored? Their skills are only second-rate, yet they still want to meddle with Qiao Feng. Is it really that fun? Even if Qiao Feng really killed someone, there are laws in the court. The court will naturally catch him and bring him to justice. Why should they worry about it?"

Wang Shan shook his head, "The court's inner experts need to protect the imperial city and monitor neighboring countries like Liao and Western Xia. They don't have the time to catch Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng is a person of the martial world, so the martial world's rules must be followed. Although the You brothers' skills are not high, they have the spirit of Meng Chang. Many martial arts experts have received their favors, so they still have some influence in the martial world."

Wang He smiled slightly, "Our Wang family village and the National Martial Arts Hall have not received any favors from Juxian Manor."

Wang Shan said, "We can ignore the You brothers' face, but we cannot ignore Doctor Xue's. Wang Yue's father still needs Doctor Xue to treat him. Wang He, you must be careful. When we arrive at Juxian Manor, you must not be disrespectful to Doctor Xue."

Wang Shan and Wang He were talking, but they didn't notice that someone on the second floor of the inn was listening to their conversation.

This person was Qiao Feng.

"Doctor Xue? So he's at Juxian Manor. Azhu, you have a chance to be saved," Qiao Feng thought to himself.

...

"Azhu, you have a chance to be saved. I know where Doctor Xue is; he's at Juxian Manor." Qiao Feng returned to the room and said to Azhu, who was lying on the bed.

Azhu's condition was worse than a few days ago. If it weren't for Qiao Feng using his true energy to sustain her, she would have already passed away.

Hearing Qiao Feng's words, Azhu showed a bit of spirit, "Big Brother Qiao, I thought you had left. Big Brother Qiao, promise Azhu that you won't leave me before I die. I'm really scared alone."

Tears streamed down Azhu's eyes as she spoke.

Qiao Feng held Azhu's hand and comforted her, "Azhu, don't worry. I won't abandon you. I'll take you to Juxian Manor to find Doctor Xue."

Qiao Feng wrapped Azhu in a blanket and carried her out of the room.

When they reached the first floor, Wang Shan and Wang He looked at Qiao Feng. They didn't recognize him, but they could sense that this middle-aged man was an absolute expert.

Such a presence, they had only felt from Murong Fu and Wang Yue.

"Azhu!" Wang Shan exclaimed in surprise when he saw Azhu.

Azhu and Abi had a very good relationship, and she had visited the National Martial Arts Hall and Wang family village several times. Wang Shan and Wang He naturally recognized her.

Wang He stood up and said, "Miss Azhu, what happened?"

Azhu smiled, "It's Brother Wang Shan and Brother Wang He. Where are you going?"

Wang Shan replied, "Juxian Manor."

Azhu looked at Qiao Feng and asked, "Big Brother Qiao, Brother Wang Shan and Brother Wang He are also going to Juxian Manor. Why don't we go together?"

Wang Shan looked at Qiao Feng with a serious expression and asked, "Are you Qiao Feng?"

Qiao Feng nodded, "Yes, I am Qiao Feng."

"What, you're Qiao Feng?"

Hearing Qiao Feng's answer, Wang He and the other disciples from the National Martial Arts Hall became wary and took a fighting stance, ready to attack at any moment.

Wang Shan shouted, "What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Sit down. Have you forgotten the hall master's words?"

"Yes."

Wang He and the others sat down and continued eating, but their attention was on Qiao Feng.

Wang Shan bowed to Qiao Feng and smiled, "Lord Qiao, your reputation has frightened them."

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly, "Qiao Feng is no longer the leader of the Beggar Sect."

Wang Shan glanced at Azhu and said, "Since that's the case, I'll call you Lord Qiao. Lord Qiao, I think you shouldn't go to Juxian Manor. This Hero Conference is to deal with you. Many major sects and organizations, even high monks from Shaolin Temple, are coming. Although Lord Qiao's martial arts are powerful, and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are famous, you can't fight against so many. Going to Juxian Manor will likely be very dangerous."

Qiao Feng said, "I said I must take Azhu to Juxian Manor. Once Miss Azhu's injuries are healed, Qiao Feng will leave."

Wang Shan thought to himself, "By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

"Since that's the case, let's go together," Wang Shan said. "Wang He, take two people to find a carriage. We'll travel through the night to reach Juxian Manor as soon as possible to treat Miss Azhu."

"Alright, Brother Shan." Wang He got up and left the inn with two disciples from the National Martial Arts Hall.

Soon, Wang He found a carriage and let Qiao Feng take Azhu inside.

They set off with Azhu that night.

"Brother Shan, Qiao Feng is now a public enemy of the martial world. Although it hasn't been confirmed whether he is the real culprit, if we are seen with him, it might not be good," Wang He said softly to Wang Shan while riding a horse.

Wang Shan glanced at the carriage and said softly, "As long as our conscience is clear, it's fine. Who Qiao Feng is has nothing to do with us. Our most important task now is to save Miss Azhu. If anything happens to Miss Azhu, we won't be able to face Wang Yue and Abi when we return. After all, Abi considers Azhu as her own sister. Besides, does the Suzhou National Martial Arts Hall need to care about others' opinions? Hmph."

Wang Shan exuded a strong confidence.

Wang Yue was the stabilizing force of the National Martial Arts Hall. As long as he was there, there was nothing to fear.

After traveling through the night, they finally arrived at Juxian Manor in the early morning.

Seeing Juxian Manor, Wang Shan shouted, "We've arrived!"

Wang Shan and Wang He dismounted and shouted, "Wang Shan and Wang He of the Suzhou National Martial Arts Hall pay respects to Doctor Xue."

...

Xue Muhua and the You brothers led the martial arts heroes to welcome them.

"The heroes of the National Martial Arts Hall have arrived, which is truly great," You Ju said happily.

Xue Muhua looked around and didn't see Wang Yue, so he asked, "Is your hall master not coming?"

Wang Shan smiled, "The hall master is delayed by some matters, so only we few are here this time."

Hearing that Wang Yue couldn't come, Xue Muhua felt a bit disappointed.

He knew Wang Yue's martial arts were on par with Qiao Feng and Murong Fu. With him, Qiao Feng could certainly be defeated.

"Alright, everyone, please come in!" Xue Muhua said.

At this moment, Qiao Feng carried Azhu out of the carriage.

"Qiao Feng!" The martial arts heroes were shocked.

They never expected Qiao Feng to be with the people from the Suzhou National Martial Arts Hall.

"Qiao Feng, you traitor of Liao, you dare to show up. Today, the martial arts heroes have gathered at Juxian Manor to deal with you. You won't be able to escape," a high monk from Shaolin Temple said, leading the martial arts heroes to surround Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng ignored the martial arts heroes' hostility. He carried Azhu to Xue Muhua and said, "Qiao Feng has come to seek treatment for Miss Azhu. I hope Doctor Xue can save her. After that, Qiao Feng will deal with the matters with the martial arts heroes."

Xue Muhua sneered, "If someone else brought this young lady, I would save her, but since it's you, Qiao Feng, I will not save her."

Qiao Feng said loudly, "I've heard that Doctor Xue treats people in exchange for martial arts. Qiao Feng may not be skilled, but I know many martial arts. If Doctor Xue helps, Qiao Feng can teach you several martial arts."
