While Ouyang Wan and Yin Shihuai were carefully recuperating in a secluded place, Ouyang Feng was having a great time.
The woman named Chen Xuanling seemed determined to stick with him, following him around constantly. In recent days, the two of them destroyed many cult hideouts.
Ouyang Feng asked knowingly, "It seems like they always know what we're doing. Important things and people are moved in advance. Could it be that they're secretly monitoring us?"
Chen Xuanling's eyes froze for a moment, but she quickly concealed it, her bright eyes looking at him with a puzzled expression, "That shouldn't be possible, right? If there really is such a powerful person in the cult, how could they possibly be monitoring the two of us? Perhaps it's just a coincidence?"
Ouyang Feng sighed: "Perhaps."
He didn't say anything more after that, but his heavy expression made Chen Xuanling think more. So the next time the two of them went to raid the cult's hideout, they seized a lot of supplies.
"I told you, they can't be this lucky every time!" Chen Xuanling stabbed a cult member to death with her sword, then looked at Ouyang Feng with a boastful expression: "How should we deal with these things this time? Should we distribute them to the surrounding people as before?"
“No.” Ouyang Feng shook his head decisively.
Chen Xuanling countered, "Why?"
"If we distribute too many supplies at once, it will cause unrest among the people. Moreover, once we leave, the unwilling cult will definitely make a comeback. Wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts to destroy this den?"
So what are you planning to do?
"This place is not far from the Red Lotus Workshop. I plan to notify the disciples of the Red Lotus Workshop to take over this place. We will wait here for the disciples of the Red Lotus Workshop to arrive."
"Red Lotus Pavilion?" Chen Xuanling stared wide-eyed in surprise. "How could righteous disciples like your Linghe Valley have connections with the Red Lotus Pavilion? I thought you considered the Red Lotus Pavilion to be like a cult."
“It is different.” Ouyang Feng said with a serious expression, “Although the Red Lotus Workshop acts casually, they usually kill treacherous and faithless men. Many homeless women have been rescued by them. My master’s wife once said that the head of the Red Lotus Workshop is able to hold up a sky for women in this chaotic world, which is very respectable.”
After hearing these words, Chen Xuanling's surprise deepened: "I have heard about the ways of many people in the imperial court and the righteous sects of the martial arts world. They are all very pedantic, stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice. I did not expect your master's wife to have such different views. Ouyang Feng, when are you going back to Linghe Valley? I really want to see your master's wife."
Ouyang Feng's eyes were full of admiration: "I'm afraid my master's wife is different."
Then he looked into the distance and said, "But it's a rare opportunity to come out and gain experience. We can talk about it when we get back."
Chen Xuanling could only suppress her urgency. Whether it was Ouyang Feng's usual tone or the changes in Linghe Valley and Linghe City in the past year or two, it all told her that Ouyang Feng's master's wife, Song Xia, was no ordinary person.
However, the repeated loss of contact with the people sent by the Holy Sect forced her to be more cautious. It was still safest to stick with Ouyang Feng, as it would be less likely to be discovered.
At this moment, what the two were unaware of was that, as Ouyang Feng sent someone to deliver the message, a middle-aged woman of ordinary appearance also relayed the news to a girl in a brothel through a roundabout route.
Soon, both messages reached Xue Honglian, the owner of Honglian Workshop. After listening, Xue Honglian's eyes were filled with wonder, and her face was full of smiles: "I didn't know that I had such a good reputation among the deputy valley master of Linghe Valley."
As she sat down, a young woman said, "Master, it seems that not all so-called upright people are just seeking fame and fortune."
But some people expressed doubts: "What if this is just a trap set by the righteous? After all, they like to gain so-called reputation by suppressing us."
Xue Honglian said with a firm look in her eyes, "Whether it's a trap or not, those two words praising me are enough to make me come all this way. I haven't met such a kindred spirit in the martial world for a long time. If Ouyang Feng wasn't lying, I will definitely meet his master's wife in the future."
Then, all the female disciples bowed to Xue Honglian and said, "Disciples are willing to follow Master Xue."
Among these female disciples, some were young and beautiful, some wore their hair in a woman's bun, and some even had white hair, but without exception, they were all very loyal to Xue Honglian.
Because they were all people who had been persecuted but were saved by Xue Honglian, no one could understand their past despair without having experienced their previous lives. It was the sect leader who gave them a second life, so they would not object to whatever the sect leader asked them to do.
For a long time, Xue Honglian did not meet anyone who shared her ideals. Everyone said she deserved it and that she violated worldly rules, but no one thought about how someone like her could survive.
Is it Song Xia?
These words were very much to her liking. Even her disciple was taught so well; she hoped he wouldn't disappoint her.
While waiting for others, Ouyang Feng explained to the surrounding people how cults deceive people. The more Chen Xuanling read, the more curious she became. How exactly did Linghe Valley teach its disciples? And where did they learn this knowledge?
Although she usually looked down on some of the disciples in the sect for using such tricks to deceive people, since the sect leader agreed, she could not object. Moreover, this was one of the fastest ways to gain popular support and wealth. Although the deceived people were innocent, who told them to be greedy? If they hadn't been so greedy, they wouldn't have been deceived.
Moreover, to achieve great things, someone always has to make sacrifices. Soon, this dynasty will be reborn, and more people will benefit. She did not do anything wrong.
"Ouyang Feng, does your master's wife teach you these things on a regular basis? Your master's wife knows so much!"
Ouyang Feng nodded proudly: "Of course, there is no woman in this world more intelligent than my master's wife."
Seeing his adoring expression, Chen Xuanling suddenly felt a pang of unease, and her desire to see Song Xia intensified.
So he tentatively asked, "I thought you were all taught by your master, the great hero Ouyang Zhen! After all, the reputation of the great hero Ouyang is even greater in the martial arts world, so the atmosphere in your Linghe Valley must be very good! With such a capable master and mistress, it's no wonder you are all so outstanding! But knowing so much, do you not have time to rest? Can your mistress teach you all this by herself?"
Chen Xuanling felt a little guilty when she asked these questions, because she knew that Ouyang Feng considered her a friend, but she was taking advantage of him here, so she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Naturally, she didn't see the disappointment in Ouyang Feng's eyes; he still thought she was different from other cult members.
However, he didn't expose her identity after he learned it, so the two of them were destined not to be friends!
