Chapter 44 - Murder Misunderstandings
"Hurry up and say it, why are you dawdling over there, I think you can't even explain yourself. If it wasn't for Sect Master Ling pleading for your life today, how could this old man have given you a chance to breathe?" When Yellowbrow saw this, he couldn't help but mock him.
In the current Jianghu, there was a saying, that was passed down: "Southern Qiao Feng, Northern Murong". It referred to famous experts from both the north and south.
So Ling Xiao gave Murong Fu the chance to explain, and he decided to grab hold of it.
Thus, Murong Fu honestly told the full details of Master Xuan Bei's death.
When he found out that the one who killed Master Xuan Bei was not Murong Fu but his father, Murong Bo, the yellow-browed Grandmaster did not loosen his anger in the slightest.
"If it's someone your father killed, then he must pay the price! Since you are here as his son, you should repay the debt in his place! " The yellow browed master was obviously not willing to let Murong Fu go.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Yellow Beard Grandmaster, I also respect you as a master because you are a highly respected monk. Although it is the actions of the father of the Murong Gongzi, he does not have any relation to the Murong Gongzi.
Hearing this, the yellow-browed Grandmaster didn't know how to respond, but seeing his flushed face, he knew he still didn't accept this result.
"As the saying goes, one man must take responsibility. Since we already know who the murderer is, we would like to invite Great Master Yellowbrow to find trouble with him. I came here today to deal with the misunderstanding, what do you think?" Ling Xiao saw that the yellow browed master did not respond and continued.
When the yellow-browed Grandmaster heard this, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Yellow Beard Grandmaster should have heard of the rumors in the Jianghu recently. They say that the Dali royal family murdered the Master Xuan Bei and caused quite a commotion, and now that the truth has been revealed, shouldn't Jianghu be informed?" Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said.
"If you want to inform the Jianghu, it is not something that you and I can do." The yellow-browed Grandmaster shook his head.
"Therefore, I hope that everyone can go to the Shaolin Temple and tell the truth of this matter to the host of the Shaolin Temple. After that, the host will have the entire Jianghu notify the rest of the people of the Jianghu. Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, the yellow-browed Grandmaster could not help but take a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions, then said: "Looks like Sect Master Ling is really here to take care of the misunderstanding in Beggar Gangs's place, it's just that Old Monk has no choice in this matter, so I ask you all to personally head over to Shaolin Temple."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Of course, for such an important matter, Master should not be troubled. But since Master can understand, I am still grateful."
The yellow-browed Grandmaster snorted, his expression cold as he glanced at Murong Fu, and said: "Sect Master Ling is too courteous, maybe Old Monk is too impulsive, but just because Old Monk is willing to agree does not mean that Shaolin Temple is willing, you guys should take care of yourselves, farewell!"
With that, the yellow-browed Grandmaster waved his sleeves and brought the two lightly injured people away.
After they left, Murong Fu walked in front of Ling Xiao and cupped his hands: "Thank you Sect Master Ling for saving me."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "I came here because of the big picture, Gongzi Murong need not be so courteous."
"Although Master Huang Mei let me go, but I am afraid that Shaolin Temple will not easily compromise, right?" Murong Fu asked worriedly.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he gave a bland laugh as he said, "Gongzi Murong, there is no need to worry.
As Ling Xiao's previous performance was extremely dazzling, Murong Fu involuntarily chose to believe it.
Shaowang Mountain was not far from Shaolin Temple, but taking into account the success rate this time, Ling Xiao decided to bring only Duan Yu and. As for Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe, let them continue to stay in Shaowang Mountain.
On the way, Murong Fu voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"Sect Master Ling, why are those two evil people by your side?"
Hearing that, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "Evil beings are their past appellation, now, they are my disciples."
Hearing this, Murong Fu almost fell off his horse, "Sect Master Ling, are you joking?"
"Do I look like one?" Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Murong Fu.
Ling Xiao believed that the matter of him taking in the evil person as his disciple would quickly spread throughout the entire Jianghu, because the Southern Murong would personally spread this matter.
After arriving at the Shaolin Temple, Ling Xiao realized that there were already people waiting at the door. Seems like the yellow browed master had reported this matter to the Shaolin Temple in advance.
The one who had come to welcome him was a middle-aged Monk. It seemed like his position in Shaolin Temple was not low as well.
Since Murong Fu and Duan Yu were both reputable people, there was naturally no need for too much introductions. As a result, the other party was able to differentiate who Ling Xiao was in an instant.
"Sect Master Ling, this Shaolin Temple welcomes you." The middle-aged Monk walked in front of Ling Xiao and respectfully bowed.
Ling Xiao also clasped his hands together and returned the greeting.
"Is the host in the temple?" Ling Xiao asked.
The middle-aged Monk replied, "The host is already waiting in the courtyard. Everyone, please follow me."
They followed the middle-aged Monk to the temple's backyard, where a Old Monk was meditating quietly.
"Host, the customer is here." The middle-aged Monk bowed to the Old Monk, then turned and left.
Then, the Old Monk slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sweeping across Ling Xiao and the other two, and finally stopping on Ling Xiao's body.
"Sect Master Ling, I don't know if we'll meet or not, he's really very young." Old Monk laughed indifferently.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he bowed and said with a smile, "You flatter me. The so-called" hero creating youth "might actually be referring to me."
"Haha!" You have guts, looks like Sect Leader Qiao's sunshine is quite good, Old Monk has already heard about this matter of accidental murder from Huang Mei, but how does Sect Master Ling feel that this matter should be handled properly? " Old Monk asked leisurely.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao also sighed in his heart that he was indeed the host of the Shaolin Temple.
However, Ling Xiao was not someone to be trifled with. The reason he brought Murong Fu over was because he was prepared to deal with it himself.
"I'm afraid that it's not up to you or me to decide how to settle this. That's why I brought Gongzi Murong over." Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
"Oh? Interesting, I, your father, killed someone, and the Sect Master Ling brought my son over. Could it be that they are prepared to see this father and son become enemies? " Old Monk indifferently said, raising her eyebrows.
With these words, Ling Xiao immediately fell into a dilemma.
