Chapter 257 - Xu Zhu Freshmen

Seeing Sweeping Monk lying on the ground without being able to move, the abbot was somewhat anxious. It was unknown whether he should go up and help him stand, or silently wait.

After thinking for a while, he still felt that he should go and help them up. After all, he was the strongest person in the Shaolin Temple.

Ling Xiao, seeing the abbot's actions, could not help but raise his eyebrows and say: "Senior has his own dignity. Even though this battle is intense, both of us are at a standstill and did not go overboard. He only needs to rest for a while."

Hearing this, the abbot was stunned. Lowering his head to look at the fine powder and broken stones beneath his feet, a wave of emotion swept through him. You've already fought to such an extent, but you actually said that it wasn't too violent?

Maybe because he thought Ling Xiao was stronger, he had to be respectful towards him. Hence, the abbot waited obediently by the side.

As for Ling Xiao, he also found a place to sit down and sat down cross-legged. It was a habit of Ling Xiao's for him to maintain a perfect condition and replenish the energy he had expended.

Ling Xiao was right, after half an incense of time, Sweeping Monk had crawled back up, his eyes were once again filled with mystery, it looked like he had rested enough, his entire body was now restrained, and he could not feel any powerful Qi.

When he arrived in front of Ling Xiao, he had yet to speak, but Ling Xiao had already opened his eyes.

"Good boy, you're still alive and kicking." Sweeping Monk squinted his eyes and said.

Ling Xiao stood up, and said with a smile: "Senior has been lenient."

"Your flattering skill is also that great? Since ancient times, you are probably the first." Sweeping Monk shook his head and said, feeling helpless.

"Senior, the fight is already over. Shouldn't we fulfill our previous promise?" Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Sweeping Monk nodded his head and said, "Mn, you can directly speak of this matter to the abbot. After that, in the future, please enter and exit the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Library as you wish. I hope that the ancient scriptures in it will be of some help to you."

Hearing that, the abbot's face changed, and immediately said: "Senior, please do not, this Scripture Pavilion is a forbidden area of the Shaolin Temple, how can it allow an outsider to enter as they please?"

Sweeping Monk glanced at the abbot and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, the strong have always been respected. Moreover, Sect Master Ling intends to help us avoid the eyes of the entire Jianghu, so this request will count as a thanks."

Ling Xiao heard and laughed lightly: "I appreciate Senior's kindness, but if there's a chance in the future, I would definitely come visit again. This is after all, a forbidden area of the Shaolin Temple.

If it was the past, Ling Xiao would probably be more interested in this matter. But now, with Ling Xiao's strength, he simply did not care about ordinary secret manuals and technique, so there was no need to spend any more time visiting this Scripture Pavilion.

Seeing that Ling Xiao rejected so straightforwardly, the Sweeping Monk nodded his head and did not try to persuade him anymore. He then looked at the abbot and said: "As for Sect Master Ling's previous request, you guys can decide for yourselves.

After saying that, Sweeping Monk walked towards the main door of the Scripture Pavilion. He didn't forget to pick up the broom that was thrown on the ground.

Watching as Sweeping Monk's figure disappeared into the Scripture Pavilion, the abbot let out a long breath, then turned to face Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao knew that the abbot was very respectful to the Sweeping Monk, so he had always maintained a very humble attitude.

As expected, the abbot coughed lightly and said: "What Old Monk promised you earlier, will be done naturally. It's just that, whether Xu Zhu is willing to leave or not, you cannot force him."

After Ling Xiao heard, he nodded and said: "Of course. Master abbot can relax, please lead the way."

The abbot glanced at Ling Xiao, but did not say anything. He waved his hand and turned to leave, "Old Monk is not willing, there will be someone to bring you there in a while."

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. He thought that this abbot clearly valued Xu Zhu and gave him a lot of hope, but he never thought that the situation would turn out like this. Now that Ling Xiao was going to bring Xu Zhu away, the abbot more or less didn't want to see it.

Following that, a Monk came before Ling Xiao and clasped his hands together as he bowed politely.

Following this Monk, Ling Xiao arrived at one of the dungeon in the Shaolin Temple. Looking at the dark surroundings, Ling Xiao knew that Xu Zhu's current condition was definitely not good.

With a "creak", the iron door was opened, and Ling Xiao walked in.

The air in the dungeon was very turbid, and there was even a putrid smell mixed in, which meant that someone must have died here. In addition to the damp and gloomy air, there would definitely be injuries and illnesses later on.

Xu Zhu curled into a corner. There was a small window above his head, and there was still some light. This was probably the best cell in the dungeon.

With the weak light ray, Xu Zhu saw Ling Xiao's face clearly.

"Sect Master Ling, you're finally here." Xu Zhu was a little excited, but he could not do anything as his body was extremely weak. He simply could not raise his head, and could only look at Ling Xiao obliquely.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao took a step forward, walked in front of Xu Zhu, squatted and said: "Un, I had a fight with Sweeping Monk, and wasted some time."

Hearing this, Xu Zhu's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Sect Master Ling is indeed unrivalled in the world, even Sweeping Monk isn't a problem. It looks like I have the chance to leave this place, right?"

Ling Xiao knew that the purpose of Xu Zhu's letter was to survive, so he confidently came to find the abbot to ask for him.

"Yes, I have already spoken with the abbot. As long as we can win the match, I can bring you out of Shaolin Temple." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Zhu laughed happily, "That's great, now Shaolin Temple will be safe."

"At this time, you're still thinking about the Shaolin Temple. The injuries on your body, it should be all because of them right?" Ling Xiao looked at Xu Zhu's clothes that were dyed red with blood, and asked with raised eyebrows.

Xu Zhu exhaled, then said in a serious tone: "If not for Shaolin Temple, I would never have achieved what I have accomplished today.

This time, I came to save you not on a whim, after all, it's not child's play. After you leave the Shaolin Temple, where are you planning to go? Ling Xiao nodded, and asked.

Xu Zhu looked at Ling Xiao, and paused for a moment, and then used all her strength to speak in a serious tone: "Ever since I broke the rule, Shaolin Temple has no longer welcomed me, and other than Shaolin Temple, I do not wish to go anywhere, but everything Sect Master Ling has done today, I will remember it in my heart, and if Sect Master Ling does not mind, I, Xu Zhu, am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
