Chaohu, Cangqiong Gate.
It is said that Tang Shen captured Wu Yu and his group and brought them back to Cangqiong Gate. Tang Xi, severely injured and unconscious, was confined to a
small room by Tang Shen to recuperate. After all, they shared the same origin, and Tang Shen didn't want fellow disciples to fight each other
. Tang Danyue was imprisoned with another woman, not Liu'er as Wu Yu had guessed, but Yuqin. Wu
Yu was imprisoned with Lei Meng and was under strict guard.
"Brother Lei, weren't you supposed to be stationed in Jinling? How did you get captured too?" Wu Yu was
somewhat anxious, unsure whether the captured woman was Liu'er or Yuqin.
"Brother Wu, I have failed you. I was originally with the escort agency, but Xiao'er led Miss Liu'er back to Jinling
. I tried to help them escape, which exposed my presence, and I was captured by Tang Shen," Lei Meng said apologetically.
"Oh? So Sister Liu'er wasn't arrested. Then it was Sister Yuqin who was arrested..." Wu Yu felt
slightly relieved and continued, "Then, what about the donation?"
"Don't worry, brother, the donation is still with the escort agency and hasn't been exposed," Lei Meng whispered, afraid of being overheard
.
"That's good." The donation was Wu Yu and Tang Shen's bargaining chip; if the Cangqiong Sect discovered it, they
would be worthless.
At this moment, Wu Yu and Lei Meng weren't restrained by ropes and could move freely in the room, but they couldn't leave the door
. This was the Cangqiong Sect's territory; even if they left, they couldn't break through the encirclement. Wu Yu assessed their current
situation and began to consider the future.
If the donation was lost, the Wu family would be in serious trouble. However, Master Wu was on good terms with Jiang Min, the governor of Yingtian, so
they could naturally avoid this disaster. His mother, He Ruoxue, was indifferent yet shrewd, so there was no need to worry about her. The only thing that worried Wu
Yu was that his aunt, Shen Yanlin, would surely take this opportunity to persecute him, both by force and by force.
Now that Liu'er had been captured, Wu Yu thought, why not just risk everything and become an outlaw? Of course, this was just a resentful
thought; his parents were still alive, and he hadn't repaid their kindness, so how could he harm himself? However, leaving the Cangqiong Sect was
extremely difficult.
Just then, a sound came from outside the door, which opened, and a henchman entered, saying, "The boss wants you to
go to the council hall. Let's go!"
Lei Meng's eyebrows furrowed, and his clothes billowed, revealing him to be the renowned "Iron Shirt" of the martial world. He roared,
"Even if Tang Shen himself came, he wouldn't dare to be so insolent! How dare you, a mere lackey, yell at my family!"
Wu Yu quickly grabbed Lei Meng's right arm, saying, "Brother Lei, why are you angry? How could such a lowly servant be worthy of your attention
? Let's go to the council hall first and see what schemes Tang Shen has up his sleeve.
" Lei Meng snorted, "Consider yourself lucky. Lead the way!"
The henchman, intimidated by Lei Meng's imposing presence, looked panicked and moved six feet away from Lei Meng, bowing and scraping.
"Please, please!"
Wu Yu and Lei Meng followed him. Seeing that he was far away, Lei Meng whispered in Wu Yu's ear, "Brother, in the Cangqiong Sect,
apart from Zhou Qianlong, no one can break my Iron Shirt technique. If it weren't for protecting Xiao'er, I wouldn't have been captured. I know
Zhou Qianlong isn't in the Cangqiong Sect right now. Later, you protect my back, and I'll help you rescue Elder Tang and Yuqin Girl
, and then we'll fight our way down the Cangqiong Sect."
Wu Yu asked, "Why do I need to protect your back?"
Lei Meng explained, "Tang Shen's skill is profound. If I spread the Iron Shirt technique throughout my body, I'll have a hard time
resisting his attacks. If I concentrate all my power in my chest, I can easily withstand Tang Shen. I know Zhou Qianlong and
the Third Leader Song Dao are inseparable. Now that they're not in the Cangqiong Sect, it's a great opportunity to escape."
Wu Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lei Meng's opinion.
Upon arriving at the council hall, the two found Tang Shen sitting in the central hall, next to a middle-aged scholar who appeared to be
around forty years old. The scholar stroked his beard while sizing up Wu Yu.
This scholar was none other than Zhu Kai, the fifth leader known as "Wild Goose King." He was skilled in disguise; previously dressed as a clerk
, he had now transformed into a scholar.
The scholar, quite interested, said to Wu Yu, "Is this the eldest young master of the Wu family in Suzhou? Hmm, the Tang family's
internal energy permeates his entire body, and his steps are light. It seems Young Master Wu 's lightness skill is quite good. However, the Suzhou Tang family is not known for
its lightness skill, so I can't see through Young Master Wu's lightness technique..."
Tang Shen, hearing this, was also surprised and asked, "Even you, Fifth Brother, can't see through it? It seems this Wu Yu is not simple
..."
Wu Yu ignored their comments and exchanged a glance with Lei Meng, saying, "Chief Tang,
you are from the Tang family, why did you have to come and rob the Changlu Escort Agency's prized goods?"
Tang Shen smiled slightly and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Boy, how about the deal you mentioned the other day?"
Just as Wu Yu was about to speak, Lei Meng suddenly shouted, "Brother, make your move!"
After saying that, Lei Meng's chest suddenly bulged, and his body was covered with bulging veins, like a god.
Tang Shen frowned and sighed, "This Iron Shirt technique is troublesome!"
Just as he was about to subdue Lei Meng, Lei Meng let out a bloodcurdling scream
. A sword's edge was faintly visible through his chest; he had been stabbed through the heart from behind.
Lei Meng's eyes were filled with anger, confusion, and helplessness. His strength dissipated, and he weakly asked, "Why
...why?"
A voice behind him whispered, "Sorry, it was all for my own escape..."
Lei Meng roared, as if in a final burst of energy, channeling his remaining inner strength into his right fist and attacking backward.
But the man behind him easily dodged, the sword flashing past and severing Lei Meng's right arm at the shoulder. Lei Meng's eyes blazed with fury,
blood flowing freely. He could no longer hold on, kneeling on the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
The man who had attacked Lei Meng sighed softly, "Now, we can talk about a deal, Boss Tang."
His voice was calm and cold, as if nothing had just happened.
Tang Shen and Zhu Kai's eyes gleamed, trying to see through the man, but they couldn't understand why he was doing this.
The man stood expressionless before Lei Meng's corpse, not a drop of blood on him—it was Wu Yu.
Tang Shen looked at Wu Yu meaningfully and said, "No poison, no hero! What a nice return of favor. It seems Young Master Wu
really wants to make that deal with me."
Wu Yu replied, "I was very sincere from the start."
Zhu Kai smiled and said, "If you're sincere, Young Master Wu, please remove that hidden sword first. Otherwise, I have no choice."
"I'm confident I can escape unscathed from Young Master Wu's sneak attack."
It turned out that the sword blade was actually a soft sword hidden in Wu Yu's sleeve.
"Sorry, I never let my sword out of my sight," Wu Yu said with a smile.
Tang Shen suddenly interjected, "Very well, Young Master Wu's willingness to offer Lei Meng's corpse is already the greatest sincerity
. Right, Young Master Wu? But I wonder what kind of deal Young Master Wu wants..."
Wu Yu replied, "Chief Tang must be wondering why I killed Lei Meng."
Tang Shen and Zhu Kai nodded; this matter made them somewhat unsure of Wu Yu's character.
Wu Yu smiled and began to explain to the two of them.
Suzhou, this seemingly peaceful city, actually harbored a great secret. He Ruoxue
had already told Wu Yu when he married Liu'er that Shen Yanlin was a direct descendant of the Shen family, and her willingness to marry Wu Lingwen and follow him
to Suzhou must have some ulterior motive.
And Wu Yu, like Wu Feng, was not Wu Lingwen's biological son. In reality, He Ruoxue and Wu Lingwen never consummated their marriage
. Each time, He Ruoxue would only allow Wu Lingwen to get slightly close, then use her charms to make him believe they had
already consummated their relationship. He Ruoxue's willingness to marry into the Wu family as a concubine was also to escape that secret
.
Years ago, He Ruoxue's father, the younger brother of the current head of the He family, had an encounter with a woman from the martial arts world.
This woman gave birth to a daughter and then disappeared without a trace. Therefore, He Ruoxue had a low status in the He family and was forced
to marry the not-so-wealthy Wu Lingwen.
Before He Ruoxue married into the Wu family, her mother, the woman from the martial arts world, returned to the He family with a man.
It was then that He Ruoxue first recognized her mother and learned some secrets. He Ruoxue's mother and
the man she was with stayed at the He family for some time. During this time, He Ruoxue and the man developed feelings for each other, had an affair without proper arrangements
, and soon became pregnant. Just as the man was preparing to marry He Ruoxue, some events occurred in his family, forcing him
to leave.
To cover up the family scandal, the He family hastily arranged for He Ruoxue to marry into the Wu family, where she gave birth to a son,
Wu Yu.
As Wu Yu grew older, He Ruoxue's personality also became more detached, transforming from a vibrant young girl into a mature woman.
The secrets she held in her heart were gradually buried deep within. Until one day, she learned that Shen Yanlin was a descendant of the Shen family and,
predicting that the Wu family would inevitably face trouble, began to have Wu Yu practice martial arts.
The reason He Ruoxue agreed to let Wu Yu escort the donations was to allow Wu Yu and Liu'er to escape
the troublesome city of Suzhou. Now that the caravan had been robbed, even if Wu Yu returned to Suzhou, he would inevitably be questioned by the Yingtian Prefecture. If
Shen Yanlin had fueled the fire, it would implicate the Wu family, and Shen Yanlin's scheme would succeed.
If Wu Yu wanted to leave the Wu family and had someone to rely on, the best way was to join the Cangqiong Sect.
Now that Tang Xi is seriously injured and his fate is unknown, and Tang Danyue and Yuqin have been captured, only Lei Meng remains the biggest
obstacle to Wu Yu's attempt to cover up the truth. Therefore, Lei Meng must die; for Wu Yu, only the dead can prevent the secret from being revealed.
After listening to Wu Yu's words, Tang Shen pondered and said, "Young Master Wu, it's fine if you want to join my Cangqiong Sect, but
what about the people traveling with you..."
Wu Yu said, "The Chief can rest assured about this. Tang Xi is a member of the Tang Clan, and the Chief can naturally
release Tang Xi on the grounds of not wanting fellow disciples to fight each other. Yuqin was originally my maid, so it's fine for her to join the Cangqiong Sect with me. Sister Danyue
is the Chief's daughter and also my master. If we can appeal to her emotions and reason with her, we might as well let her stay
."
The scholar Zhu Kai stroked his beard and praised, "Young Master Wu is very shrewd. It seems that my Cangqiong Sect has gained another strategist
."
Tang Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "Good! My Cangqiong Sect has always gathered heroes from all over the world, so naturally Young Master Wu doesn't mind. From now on, we can
address each other as brothers... Hmm, perhaps we can also address each other as father-in-law and son-in-law, hahaha..."
Wu Yu was also delighted and said, "Then I thank the Chief in advance." Addressing each other as father-in-law and son-in-law naturally meant that he intended to
marry Tang Danyue to Wu Yu.
Tang Shen glanced at Lei Meng's corpse, then summoned several disciples, saying, "Men, take Lei Meng's body away and give it a proper
burial. Also, send Tang Xi back to Jinling City." He then looked at Wu Yu and said, "As for that little wench 　　 and
my good daughter, we'll have to rely on Brother Wu's silver tongue." 　　 Wu Yu smiled confidently and 　　followed
a henchman to the room where Tang Danyue and Yuqin were being held 　　 . 　　********** ... 　　 Tang Danyue patted Yuqin's back and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Don't be too concerned." 　　 "Sister-in-law..." Yuqin clung to Tang Danyue's hand as if grasping at a piece of driftwood. 　　 Tang Danyue smiled slightly and winked, "Yuqin, you and that old man in my family, you're having an affair, aren't you..." 　　 Yuqin, who was originally in tears, blushed when Tang Danyue suddenly brought this up, displaying a charming and alluring demeanor. 　　With a slightly hesitant tone, Yuqin said, "Sister-in-law, I..." 　　 Tang Danyue gently shook her head and said, "You were originally a maid of the Wu family. When your master asks you to do something, how can you refuse? 　　It's been tough on you... I know that old lecher Wu Gui. He treats me like this... let alone a beautiful 　　young lady like you." 　　 Yuqin said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, thank you... I came out with the young master this time 　　because of the madam's scheme, but I... I like the young master, so I've wanted to leave the Wu family for a long time..." 　　 Tang Danyue nodded and said, "I know. You were carrying sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs. 　　It's a wonder Shen Yanlin would use such despicable things. She thought I didn't know." 　　 Yuqin sighed and said, "The madam's thoughts and methods are unfathomable. How could a mere maid like me resist? 　　However, I've already thrown away the sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs..." 　　 "Hmm, if you didn't intend to poison the young master, I believe he wouldn't blame you..." Tang Danyue 　　said.

Yuqin nodded slightly, about to speak, when the door suddenly opened and someone poked their head in, saying, "Sister Yuqin,
Sister Danyue, are you alright?"
