Chapter 28

Jiaofeng and Azhu were investigating the true culprit when they heard the news of the death of Elder Xu of the Beggar Sect. Afterward, Jiaofeng saw Tanpo and followed her, only to encounter her and Zhao Qiansun in a secret rendezvous.

Jiaofeng threatened the two, demanding they reveal who the leader was, but they refused to speak even at the cost of their lives. Jiaofeng had no choice but to seek out Tan Gong. When he returned, Tanpo and Zhao Qiansun had already been killed, and Tan Gong, no match for Jiaofeng, committed suicide.

"This will be blamed on me again," Jiaofeng thought angrily.

Azhu held Jiaofeng's hand and said, "Big Brother Jiao, don't worry. The great villain killed these informants, which means he fears you and doesn't want you to investigate further. The truth will eventually come to light."

Jiaofeng said, "Now, the only one who knows the truth is Kang Min. Let's go to the Beggar Sect."

Reflecting on everything, it all started with a letter from Kang Min.

Azhu disguised herself as Baisijing. Kang Min, smelling the fragrance on Azhu, knew Baisijing was a fake and told Azhu that the leader was Duan Zhengchun, the King of Zhen Nan of Dali.

After learning the "culprit," Jiaofeng and Azhu headed for Dali.

Kang Min watched "Baisijing" leave and sneered, "Jiaofeng, Duan Zhengchun, I will make the two of you, who have hurt me, fight each other. With your martial arts, you will surely both be injured, and if you both die, it would be even better."

...

After more than ten days of travel, Wang Yue and Aibi finally arrived at the Beggar Sect.

"Hmm?" Wang Yue saw a familiar figure, "Jiaofeng? He's also here to see Kang Min?"

Next to Jiaofeng was the law-enforcing elder Baisijing.

Aibi, looking at the two, said, "Big Brother Wang Yue, Jiaofeng is probably here to find the culprit. But it's strange, why do I smell Sister Azhu's fragrance on Baisijing?"

Aibi's internal martial arts had reached the dark force level, enhancing her senses. She could easily distinguish Azhu's fragrance.

Wang Yue nodded, "This Baisijing is suspicious, he's a fake."

Aibi glanced at Wang Yue, "Big Brother Wang Yue, you go see Kang Min alone. I want to follow and see if this Baisijing is really Sister Azhu. Sister Azhu's disguise is unparalleled, and I can only tell by her scent."

Wang Yue nodded, "Alright. But be careful. If you encounter an enemy, run if you can't fight them."

Aibi smiled confidently, "Big Brother Wang Yue, don't worry. As long as it's not an opponent like you, I won't be afraid."

Aibi and Wang Yue parted ways, with Aibi following Jiaofeng and "Baisijing."

...

Wang Yue arrived at Kang Min's residence and pushed open the door.

"Who is it?" Kang Min shouted.

"It's me."

Wang Yue's voice came calmly.

Hearing Wang Yue's voice, Kang Min's body stiffened, and a smile appeared on her face. The person she had been thinking about day and night had finally appeared, making her very excited.

Kang Min thought, "This man has finally come to me. This time, I will make him beg me. After I vent my anger, I will forgive him and make him marry me."

Wang Yue sat down next to Kang Min and asked, "Kang Min, do you really know about the Ziyang Bamboo? I want the truth."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Kang Min's eyes, and she laughed, "Yue, I thought you came to see me. I didn't expect you to only care about the Ziyang Bamboo. Am I, a living, beautiful woman, not as important as a bamboo? You really disappoint me."

Wang Yue said, "Kang Min, what do you want to tell me about the Ziyang Bamboo?"

Kang Min laughed, "I want you to agree to two things."

Wang Yue sighed in relief and nodded, "Tell me, as long as it's within my capabilities, I will do it."

Kang Min laughed loudly, "It's simple. You must beg me. After you left me without a word, I can't swallow this anger. The second thing is even simpler. I want you to marry me, and I want you to come for me in a grand procession."

Wang Yue was annoyed. This woman was really difficult to deal with.

"Kang Min, we are not children. Can we be more realistic?" Wang Yue said sternly, "I can beg you, and I can even kneel. But I can't marry you. I already have a wife. If I marry you, where will that leave my wife?"

Hearing that Wang Yue had a wife, Kang Min felt a block in her chest, and jealousy like a venomous snake consumed her heart.

This man is married?

Wang Yue can get married, but his bride can only be me, she thought angrily.

"Are you married? Is it that little girl Aibi?" Kang Min asked.

Wang Yue nodded, "Yes, after we returned from the apricot forest, we got married."

Kang Min shouted, "Wang Yue, how can you get married? You slept with me, and if you want to get married, the bride can only be me, Kang Min!"

Wang Yue shouted, "Kang Min, you need to understand. You poisoned me, and I didn't seek revenge. I've been lenient enough. Now you're being unreasonable. Tell me about the Ziyang Bamboo, or I won't be gentle with you."

Wang Yue was also angry with Kang Min. This woman was really too difficult to deal with.

Kang Min closed her eyes for a moment and said, "I'll make one more concession. I won't care that you married Aibi, but you must marry me. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't tell you about the Ziyang Bamboo."

Kang Min's words indicated that she really knew about the Ziyang Bamboo.

Wang Yue decided to play along with Kang Min, get the information about the Ziyang Bamboo, and then never see her again.

"Alright, I agree," Wang Yue said, "Now can you tell me?"

Kang Min looked at Wang Yue for a while and said, "Wang Yue, I hope you don't lie to me. I'm not afraid of you going back on your word. If you do, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. I, Kang Min, always keep my word!"

Wang Yue didn't know where Kang Min's confidence came from.

Kang Min finally revealed the location of the Ziyang Bamboo: "The Ziyang Bamboo is in Xiaojing Lake. However, it is said to be the treasure of the owner there. Whether you can get it depends on your skills."

Xiaojing Lake? Wang Yue remembered the location. Wasn't that where Duan Zhengchun's old lover, Ruan Xingzhu, lived?

"Thank you."

Wang Yue stood up and left the room, heading for Xiaojing Lake.

...

After Wang Yue left, Kang Min caressed her slightly swollen abdomen, a maternal glow appearing on her face. "Baby, your father just came. Don't worry, I will make him marry me. Your father is not only a martial arts master but also incredibly wealthy. However, his internal martial arts and wealth will all be yours in the future."

Kang Min felt confident facing Wang Yue, and the child in her belly was the source of her confidence.

...

Jiaofeng and Azhu were heading to Dali when they encountered a middle-aged man surnamed Zhu. He was severely injured and mumbling, "Master, run, the great villain is coming... the great villain is coming..."

Jiaofeng and Azhu were startled. The great villain, wasn't that who they were looking for?

"Brother, who is the great villain?" Jiaofeng asked.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhu shouted, "Xiaojing Lake, the master is at Xiaojing Lake. The great villain is coming, go save the master quickly."

"Xiaojing Lake?" Jiaofeng arranged for the injured man and then took Azhu to Xiaojing Lake.

On the way, Azhu suddenly said, "Big Brother Jiao, do you know why I went to Shaolin Temple?"

Jiaofeng shook his head, "No."

He naturally didn't know why Azhu went to Shaolin Temple.

Azhu took out an old, yellowed book and said, "I went to Shaolin Temple for this martial arts manual. I originally wanted to give it to my young master, but now I've changed my mind. Big Brother Jiao, you should practice this martial arts manual."

Jiaofeng took it and was startled, "The Yijinjing!"

The Yijinjing was the highest martial arts of Shaolin Temple, and he didn't expect Azhu to have stolen it.

"Big Brother Jiao, the great villain is very powerful. The Six Pulse Sword Technique of the Duan family of Dali is the most powerful offensive martial arts in the world. You might not be his match. The Yijinjing is a Shaolin Temple secret, and I hope it will help you."

Azhu hoped Jiaofeng would practice the Yijinjing, which would increase the chances of avenging the wrongs.

Jiaofeng shook his head, "Azhu, the Yijinjing is the highest martial arts of Shaolin Temple. How can I practice it? Besides, my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are enough for me. I believe the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are not inferior to the Six Pulse Sword Technique of the Duan family. Our Beggar Sect has been renowned for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for hundreds of years, and there's a reason for that."

Azhu said hopefully, "Big Brother Jiao, if you don't practice it, at least keep the Yijinjing with you. If you want to practice it one day, you can read it."

Jiaofeng thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright. When I have the chance, I will return the Yijinjing to Shaolin Temple."

...

Aibi was eating at an inn, thinking, "That Baisijing is indeed Sister Azhu in disguise. If it weren't for her fragrance, she would have fooled me. I'm curious where she and Jiaofeng are going. After I finish eating, I'll follow them."

Not far from Aibi, a girl in purple, with a scarf covering most of her face, was sitting. However, from her figure, it was clear she was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

The girl brought a bowl of noodles to Aibi and smiled, "Sister, my name is Aizi. Can I eat with you?"

Aizi's eyes darted around, as if she had some mischievous idea.

Aizi thought, "This sister exudes a heroic aura, she must be a martial arts expert. I must befriend her."

Aibi looked at Aizi and nodded, "Sure, eat. I can't finish all this food, so I'll treat you."

Aibi felt that this girl, Aizi, had a bit of an evil aura, but her eyes were playful and mischievous.

After eating, Aibi continued to follow Jiaofeng and Azhu, but Aizi followed Aibi and wouldn't leave.

"Sister Aibi, why are you following those two people?" Aizi whispered.

Aibi said, "Why are you following me? Go home quickly, or you'll be in danger. Do you know who that man is? He's Northern Jiaofeng, a martial arts master. If he discovers us, you'll be in big trouble."

Unfortunately, Aizi was fearless and couldn't be scared away by a few words from Aibi.

Aibi's words only piqued Aizi's interest more, "What, that man is Northern Jiaofeng? We're actually following Northern Jiaofeng? This is too interesting. Fun!"
