Chapter 103 - Master Qiao Feng
"Then what does Sect Master Ling mean by this?" Qiao Feng looked at Ling Xiao and asked with a puzzled expression.
Ling Xiao found a chair and sat in front of Qiao Feng. With a serious expression, he said: "This means that after someone found out about this history of yours, they set up a trap and made you fall into it."
Hearing this, Qiao Feng could not help but be startled, then suddenly realised, no wonder Ling Xiao kept emphasizing that the issue of one's birth was not the end.
But when he thought about it carefully, Qiao Feng felt his scalp go numb. If that was the case, then how close was it that people could know his secret?
Looking at Qiao Feng who had suddenly turned pale, Ling Xiao could easily guess what Qiao Feng was thinking in his heart.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, you don't have to worry too much. This secret letter was previously handed over to Elder Dayuan for safekeeping, and due to his trust in Kang Min, he passed the letter to Kang Min. Until now, you can basically deduce who leaked the information regarding your background." Ling Xiao explained.
After listening to Ling Xiao's explanation, Qiao Feng finally raised his head, "So that means, as long as we can find Kang Min, we'll know who did it?"
Hearing that, Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly: "Regarding this, I can only apologize. Something had happened earlier, Kang Min had already been killed, including those who were with her, all in front of their own brothers, in order to let them know that the sect rules aren't a joke."
He was very clear that there were too many problems within the Beggar Gangs, and he was mostly focused on the Jianghu, so whenever the Jianghu mentioned Qiao Feng, he would say the word "good". On the contrary, his Beggar Gangs was not well managed.
He originally thought that he had built up enough prestige, but he didn't think that he would be forced into an irreparable calamity with such a small scheme. Who would still be willing to believe him now?
Or rather, who else could he have believed? Qiao Feng thought to himself, was it actually someone who had almost shed tears, because it was too heart-piercing.
"In that case, the truth is probably untraceable." Qiao Feng recovered from his state of mind, and said depressingly. He looked a little old and old, to the point that Ling Xiao was a little worried.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, you don't have to be so sad. Although Kang Min is dead, I believe the person who designed this place will definitely suffer the same fate as him. Since I know about this matter, I will definitely help you settle it and at the very least, allow Eldest Brother to regain a foothold in the Jianghu." Ling Xiao looked at Qiao Feng and said solemnly.
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Feng was immediately moved. He walked in front of Ling Xiao and grabbed his hands, then said with a slight tremble: "Sect Master Ling, I, Qiao Feng, and I, am truly fortunate to have met you in this life!"
Seeing that, Ling Xiao also stood up, and shook his head: "Eldest Brother Qiao Feng is too serious, since we are all part of the Beggar Gangs, it is only right for us to do all of this, and Eldest Brother Qiao Feng treats me well, you previously trusted me so much, I will naturally believe you as well."
"Alright, such a big thing has happened. There is someone else that I can't let go of. I want to go find him." Qiao Feng nodded, and said to Ling Xiao.
After hearing that, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you Master's?"
Hearing that, Qiao Feng looked at Ling Xiao with a bit of surprise, then nodded and said: "That's right, it's my Master, the master of profound suffering in Shaolin Temple. He is my Master, and I have encountered such a huge problem, so I'm a bit worried for his safety.
Ling Xiao could not help but laugh, and then said: "It's said that Master treats disciples as if they were sons, and Eldest Brother Qiao Feng was not by his parents' side in the early years, so naturally, he treated disciples with more affection."
"Sect Master Ling truly understands me too well, and indeed, to me, a master practitioner can be considered as his real father. Therefore, no matter what happens this time, I must return and see him. Qiao Feng said with a serious expression.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Since Eldest Brother Qiao Feng wishes to go back so much, then I will accompany you."
After that, Ling Xiao brought Qiao Feng and left through the secret passage to find the Yue Lao San and the others.
Following that, Ling Xiao narrated the events that happened with Qiao Feng. Of course, he did not speak of any personal matters, but only outlined his next plan of action.
"Master, you aren't planning to bring us again!" Hearing this, the Yue Lao San asked somewhat sadly.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yue Lao San before speaking, "Can this operation be the same as before? Eldest Brother Qiao Feng is already a target of public criticism. With so many people going, are they afraid that others won't suspect us? "
Hearing this, Yue Lao San knew that the possibility of him going with them was close to nil. Sighing heavily, he could only obediently move aside.
Ling Xiao glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Of course I won't leave you here without a care in the world, because I need you outside to assist me in case something unexpected happens."
After finding out that he could still participate in this operation, Yue Lao San became excited. Even though he couldn't move with Ling Xiao, at least he could participate, and it was better than waiting in the corner.
As Qiao Feng's identity was currently special, he did not inform anyone about their actions. As for the Beggar Gangs disciples in the small city, Ling Xiao had only said that they were prepared to leave.
When they found out that Ling Xiao and the others were leaving, the person in charge of the Beggar Gangs in the small city panicked a little. She thought that they had done something wrong to make Ling Xiao and the others choose to leave so quickly.
However, Ling Xiao could only reply with a smile, in case these people were making wild guesses behind their backs and calming their hearts, Ling Xiao could relax and leave, since these people had seen Qiao Feng before.
After arriving at the Shaolin Temple, Ling Xiao first arranged for the Yue Lao San and the others to wait at the nearby entrances, while he entered the Shaolin Temple with Qiao Feng.
Master Xuan Ku was highly respected in the Shaolin Temple, so he naturally had his own meditation technique, and as his disciple, Qiao Feng was naturally familiar with the way.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, how do we get in?" Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng stood at the entrance of the Shaolin Temple, hesitating for a moment, before deciding not to enter. Ling Xiao, however, had also turned to look at Qiao Feng.
This was the Shaolin Temple, after all, and Xuan Ku was Qiao Feng's Master. Whether or not he wanted to be polite, or if he wanted to go in politely, it was better to let Qiao Feng make this decision.
