C31 Return to Xiangyang

Chen Shaofeng smiled and said to Shao Jian: "This person is rather interesting, we can leave just like that." At this time, a group of blurry figures walked over quickly. Since it was dark, they could not see clearly. After a while, they arrived. It was Zhang Zaiqing and the other disciples who had come over.

Zhang Zaiqing saw the two of them and asked: "Are you two okay?" "Jian Bing ran back in a hurry to tell them that you were surrounded by the experts of the Five Toxics, so I led my sect's disciples to come over immediately."

Chen Shaofeng replied: "I'm fine, it's just that Shao Jian's injuries are quite severe." As he spoke, he pointed to Shao Jian's chest. "His torn clothes had already been stained by the blood and flesh, making him look miserable. He then explained everything that had happened in the forest to Zhang Zaiqing."

"After Zhang Zaiqing heard this, he said angrily:" I never thought that Miao Yanfeng would actually come to find Shao Jian to take revenge on him. You must be extra careful in the future, the people of Five Toxics are all ruthless and merciless, and since the two of you have safely come out, I am relieved. Go back first, if you have anything to say, just wait for your injuries to heal before talking about it again. " After saying that, the group of people walked towards the fructus.

In the middle of the night, Shao Jian was lying on the bed. His face was covered with cold sweat and a basin of water was placed beside him.

Zhang Zaiqing held out a bottle of Gold Healing Medicine and said to Shao Jian, "The Gold Healing Medicine has a very good healing effect on external injuries. Endure it, I'll apply it to you right now and you'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Shao Jian nodded his head, clenching his teeth, Zhang Zaiqing sprinkled some powder on his broken chest. With a stuffy groan, Shao Jian clenched his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, his hair was covered in beads of perspiration, causing the pillow to be completely drenched in sweat.

After a while, Zhang Zaiqing said, "That's enough. Take a good rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

"Shao Jian said:" Thank you, Sect Leader Zhang. I wonder how Shao Feng and Jian Bing are doing now, are their injuries serious? "

Zhang Zaiqing smiled. "Don't worry, they're fine. I've just helped them with their recovery. We'll be fine tomorrow night." He looked at Shao Jian and said: "You should be careful though. Rest well in the next few days and don't do any intense movements. Otherwise, your wounds will be in trouble. Alright, I'm going now. You should rest well." As he spoke, he headed for the door.

Shao Jian said: "Thank you, Sect Leader Zhang." Due to the constant waves of pain coming from his chest, he was unable to sleep well for the entire night. The morning of the second day, Shao Jian was lying on his bed, deep in thought when a door opened and Chen Shaofeng walked in with a bowl of porridge in his hands.

Seeing that Shao Jian was still awake, she came over to his side and said, "You awake? "How do you feel, are you feeling better?"

Shao Jian smiled faintly: "I'm much better now, it's good that you're fine, how is Jian Bing now?"

Chen Shaofeng replied: "I've also fully recovered, and I'm still lying on the bed sleeping lazily. "Hehe." Then, he brought the porridge to Shao Jian and said, "Sect Master has instructed me to let you drink some porridge first in the morning to warm your weak body and replenish your energy. You should drink it while it's hot otherwise it will get cold later on."

Shao Jian thanked his and drank the bowl of porridge. After Chen Shaofeng left, he felt a little tired and closed his eyes to sleep for the whole morning. When he woke up, he saw Chen Jianbing standing in front of his bed and laughed: "Jian Bing, what are you doing?

Chen Jianbing saw that he had woken up and quickly said, "Aren't you feeling much better now? You've worried me to death. At noon, I heard from my senior brother that you were well and even drank a bowl of porridge. Now, I am here to visit you."

Shao Jian looked at him and said: "Thank you."

Chen Jianbing replied: "I've come to see you, but you are still so polite, to the point that I don't even dare come next time." After which, he chuckled.

Just then, Chen Shaofeng walked in. The moment he saw Chen Jianbing, he said: "You're here too? "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Chen Jianbing said: "Ha, senior brother, are you making fun of me?"

Chen Shaofeng laughed and chatted with Shao Jian for a while, then said to Chen Jianbing: "Alright, we should get going. The Sect Leader said that he needs to rest more, let's go."

Chen Jianbing turned to look at Shao Jian and said: "Then you should rest well. I'll play with you once you've recovered from your injuries." After which, he turned and left with Chen Shaofeng.

Shao Jian laid on the bed for three whole days, completely suffocating him, even though Chen Shaofeng and Chen Jianbing would come to deliver food to him and chat with him everyday.

Three days later, in the morning, Shao Jian had finally fully recovered from his injuries. He walked out of the room and entered the courtyard. He then walked out of the yard and came to a patch of grass. He sat down cross-legged and breathed in the fragrance of the fresh flowers and started cultivating his' Self Mantra '.

After a while, a voice could be heard: "Shao Jian, what are you thinking about by yourself here?"

Opening his eyes, he saw Zhang Jing standing by his side. "Sect Leader Zhang, why have you come?"

Zhang Zaiqing smiled and said, "I went to your room, but I didn't see you. The sect disciples said they saw you coming out, so they found you here."

"Did the Sect Leader Zhang need to find me for something?" Shao Jian asked.

Zhang Zaiqing said, "Nothing, I just wanted to see you when you weren't here."

Shao Jian replied, "Oh, Sect Leader Zhang, I want to leave this place tomorrow."

Zhang Zaiqing was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to leave? Isn't it good here?"

Shao Jian quickly replied: "No, that's not it. I just want to go to the martial arts world and learn more. In the future, I will do my best to contribute to the current chaotic situation."

Zhang Zaiqing laughed, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay any longer. In the future, be careful in the martial arts world, and come find me if you need any help. Also, since the Five Toxics has found you, they won't let you off so easily. You should pay more attention to them in the future."

Shao Jian replied: "Alright, thank you Sect Leader Zhang." "Shao Jian still had something he wanted to ask Sect Master?"

Zhang Zaijing smiled and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and I'll tell you what I know."

"Shao Jian paused for a moment before asking:" This time, we were in danger in the wild boar forest, the friend who saved us was holding a jade flute, upon seeing it, Miao Yanfeng immediately asked him what kind of relationship he had with Jiangnan's Yu Xiao Sect, I only want to know what kind of sect the Yu Xiao Sect is, and if they were able to become influential in the martial arts world twenty years ago? "

Zhang Zaiqing sighed and said, "Yes, the Yu Xiao Sect was revered by tens of thousands of people back in the Jiang Nan. At the beginning, the Yu Xiao Sect was just a family, the head's name was Su Kang, he was a chivalrous man. The Yu Xiao Sect was growing in power as well. They had hundreds of people within their sect, but they still adhered to the principle of exterminating evil and protecting the dao. This caused some of the evil person s in the martial arts world to grit their teeth and grit their teeth. They did not want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. However, their power was too great and no one dared to move against them.

Zhang Jing paused for a moment, then continued, "One night, at the peak of the Yu Xiao Sect, because of the traitor's betrayal, the Yu Xiao Sect was attacked and the entire sect was massacred. It is said that not a single survivor was left alive. It was rumored that the leader of this group of mysterious murderers was the Sect Leader of the Five Toxics, but because the tragedy happened late into the night, no one saw the real culprit. Furthermore, the Yu Xiao Sect had been annihilated, and no one stayed to accuse them. Therefore, the martial arts world did not pursue this matter anymore. They could only feel regret for such a renowned family that was revered by the people of this world … "

Shao Jian said: "Based on the expression Miao Yanfeng showed at that time, coupled with his constant questioning, I think that the possibility of Five Toxics doing this is very high. With the evil techniques they used, it is possible for them to cause a massacre in the sect in one night, and Miao Yanfeng is also very likely to be involved in that massacre as well."

Zhang Zaiqing asked doubtfully, "This matter has been going on for nearly twenty years, and the martial arts world has gradually forgotten about it. Why did you suddenly ask about it?"

Shao Jian replied, "Because I feel that the masked man is most likely a descendant of the Yu Xiao Sect. If it's true, then his goal in coming to the Central Plains is to seek revenge."

Zhang Zaiqing thought for a moment, then said, "According to you, it is possible. The massacre took place in the dead of night, and with so many people, even a few of them barely made it out alive."

After a short pause, Zhang Zaijing seemed to recall something and asked, "Where are you heading?"

Shao Jian said, "I plan to go to Xiangyang first tomorrow. I still have a room in an inn there and I'll stay there for a few days. I don't even know where I'll go next, we'll see then …"

Zhang Zaijing replied, "That's fine too. After a while, I plan to let Shaofeng and Jian Bing go out for a walk as well, so that they can do more in the martial arts world and do more things for the current chaotic situation. I will have them come to find you and look after you."

Shao Jian smiled slightly and said: "Sure. "Then let them come to me."

The next morning, Shao Jian bade farewell to Zhang Zaijing and the others, and went down the mountain to a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. He took out the horse he had brought along with him when he brought it out, and then went straight to the Xiangyang Manor.

Seeing Shao Jian coming back, the waiter immediately smiled and greeted him: "Esteemed guest, you've returned." "Take a seat first, I'll help you clean up the room. No one has been in the room since you left."

Shao Jian smiled slightly and said: "Thank you."

The waiter grinned and said, "Sir, there is no need for you to be so polite. I've been here for seven or eight years, but this is the first time I've seen a guest as good as you." Then, he went upstairs to clean up Shao Jian's room.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the waiter ran over with a head full of sweat. "Dear guest, your room has been cleaned up. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with it. Do you have any other needs?"

Shao Jian laughed: "I don't have anything else I need, sorry for the trouble, go busy yourself." He then went upstairs to his room.
