Chapter 45 - Daiyuan killed
If Ling Xiao could not give a reasonable explanation, it would be hard for Ling Xiao to explain to Shaolin Temple and Murong Fu.
The host was right, why did they bring Murong Fu here? Wouldn't that make it difficult for Murong Fu?
However, Ling Xiao had already prepared the wording.
"Host, you are someone who sees the big picture. Master Xuan Bei's death is not only related to personal grudges, but the entire Jianghu is also filled with all kinds of discussions. Do you really think that I brought Murong Fu here this time, is it really just to see how he chooses?" Ling Xiao replied calmly.
Hearing this, Old Monk's eyes flashed with a look of admiration, and thoughtfully nodded her head: "I heard Huang Mei say that you are a very good young man, and now that we meet, it is as I expected."
"I am very touched to be able to receive the praise of the host." Ling Xiao politely replied.
"Sect Master Ling is right, the most urgent matter now is to resolve the misunderstanding that has been spreading around the Jianghu. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, it would be difficult to stop." The Old Monk said.
"Then please take action and issue an announcement to the entire Jianghu." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, Old Monk smiled and said: "When everyone was rushing to Shaolin Temple, Old Monk had already sent someone to send out the notice."
Hearing that, Murong Fu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Ling Xiao was startled, then laughed: "The host is the host, as expected of someone with great wisdom."
"Alright, let's put this topic aside for now. There are very few guests in the Shaolin Temple, what's more, the one who came is the Sect Leader of the Beggar Gangs, along with the Southern Murong Clan and the Prince, it can be said to be a very rare guest. Old Monk will bring you all to visit the Shaolin Temple, how about it?" The Old Monk laughed.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao and the other two did not understand what was going on. One must know that the Old Monk had already shocked them by announcing them in advance, and now, they were even bringing them on a tour of the Shaolin Temple.
However, Ling Xiao quickly reacted, the so called "Three Treasures", the Old Monk was suddenly so polite, he probably had something to request of him.
There was naturally no reason for them to reject Old Monk's invitation, so under her lead, they leisurely visited the vast Shaolin Temple.
Along the way, many monks passed by. When they saw their host bringing three strangers over for a tour, they all revealed expressions of shock, because they had never seen such a scene before.
As he walked, Ling Xiao came to Old Monk's side. Seeing that Old Monk did not speak and only walked on her own, it was clear that he did not intend to speak first.
But Ling Xiao was not a passive person, so he was the first to ask: "Master, do you have anything to say?"
Old Monk remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao turned his head to look, just in time to see Duan Yu looking at him. After the past few days of interaction, Duan Yu still understood a bit of what Ling Xiao was hinting at, and knowing that Ling Xiao was keeping him at a distance, he unconsciously distanced himself from him.
After entering a courtyard, Duan Yu and Murong Fu had completely fallen behind.
At this time, Old Monk slowly opened her mouth.
"Not long after the announcement was made by the Old Monk, a letter from the Beggar Gangs arrived. It should have arrived right after the location of the Sect Master Ling was confirmed, and arrived on horseback." Old Monk said indifferently as she turned to look at Ling Xiao.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's heart couldn't help but thump. He knew that something bad must have happened in the sect, otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to deliver a letter to them.
"Master, is the letter on you?" Ling Xiao frowned and asked.
Old Monk nodded, took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over to Ling Xiao.
Old Monk had also been paying attention to Ling Xiao's facial expression, as if he was very concerned about what Ling Xiao would do next.
"Sect Master Ling, did something really serious happen?" Old Monk asked.
Ling Xiao put away the Stationery and shook his head as he said, "Although something bad has happened, it is within my expectations. I just did not expect it to happen so quickly."
"Oh? Could Old Monk know? " Old Monk curiously asked.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao indifferently said: "This matter will soon spread throughout the entire Jianghu. Beggar Gangs's Deputy Sect Master, Ma Da Yuan was killed."
Just as Ling Xiao had said, this was a very important matter. Just like the death of the Master Xuan Bei, it might have an unknown impact.
"Then should Sect Master Ling rush back to settle this?" The Old Monk continued to ask.
Ling Xiao glanced at Old Monk, and asked in reply: "Does the host have any requirements?"
"Sect Master Ling's perception is too strong. Old Monk does have a request, but I never thought that such a tragic thing would happen." Old Monk could not help but sigh.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he said in a bland voice: "You don't have to worry, I won't go back for now. Even if Ma Da Yuan dies, Beggar Gangs still has a lot of elders supporting him, and Senior Qiao Feng should be back to take care of it quickly."
"I see. With Sect Leader Qiao around, this matter should be properly dealt with." Old Monk nodded in agreement.
"Host, why don't you tell me about your matter?" Ling Xiao looked at Old Monk and asked.
"According to the information, Jiu Mozhi is here." Old Monk said with a serious expression.
After hearing that, Ling Xiao understood why the Old Monk was so cautious. He had to wait until no one followed him before he was willing to speak.
Jiu Mozhi was the Imperial Advisor of Tuo Fan Nation, and he was honored as the King of the Great Wheel, so naturally, he had his strong points.
"Jiu Mozhi, why did he come?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Seems like he is here to challenge the Shaolin Temple." Old Monk could not help but laugh bitterly.
"Since that's the case, then all of you should prepare in advance. Could it be that the huge Shaolin Temple is afraid of one person?" Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
Hearing that, the Old Monk could not help but sigh and say: "Maybe the Sect Master Ling did not know, Jiu Mozhi had also been bitterly training in the Shaolin Temple, but he did not expect that after he had completed his studies, he would actually choose to leave the Shaolin Temple and go to the Mo Fan Country, while there are no other talents in the Shaolin Temple."
Ling Xiao finally understood that this was actually a matter between their own sect. Now that his disciple had come back to challenge the sect, there was no one in the sect who could resist him, no wonder the Old Monk looked so depressed.
