"Li Huan?"
Azi blinked her bright eyes.
"Is it...is it Li Huan who went to a foreign land overseas?"
Li Huan said, "That's right! I went to overseas countries to purchase ingredients and ordered Duan Yu to temporarily take charge of the Beggars' Sect, but You Tanzhi took away the position of sect leader!"
Azi was shocked: "You...you actually recognized Zhuang Juxian as You Tanzhi?"
Li Huan sneered at You Tanzhi, saying, "The young master of Juxian Manor, whose family was destroyed and who hates Qiao Feng! To avenge his family, You Tanzhi practiced vicious martial arts, but he is infatuated with the beauty of a young girl and is willing to be her lackey. He has utterly disgraced his ancestors!"
"You bastard!" You Tanzhi roared, "I have never given up on avenging my father!"
Li Huan said, "If you want revenge, why don't you go to the Liao Kingdom and personally challenge Qiao Feng to a duel to the death?"
“I…I…” You Tanzhi was speechless.
Li Huan knew that in terms of internal strength, You Tanzhi was stronger than Qiao Feng, but in terms of actual combat skills, You Tanzhi was no match for Qiao Feng.
Therefore, although You Tanzhi wanted revenge, he dared not go to the Liao Kingdom to seek his own death.
Ultimately, this kid couldn't bear to part with Azi.
Li Huan said, "You Tanzhi, I'm willing to let you go because I think you've gone astray and there's still a chance for you to reform! Quickly and obediently hand over the position of Beggars' Sect leader and the sect's most prized possession!"
You Tanzhi raised his head: "If you want the green bamboo stick, you must come up on stage and defeat me!"
Li Huan said, "You're cunning, kid. You used the Beggars' Sect's name to send out invitations to heroes and hold a 'Martial Arts Conference' at Shaolin Temple. Your goal was to become the leader of the martial arts world, command the world, and thus curry favor with Azi and win her heart, right?"
“You’re wrong!” You Tanzhi retorted. “The real purpose of my ‘Martial Arts Tournament’ is to gather heroes from all walks of life, join forces, eliminate the villain Qiao Feng, and avenge my father and my deceased predecessors!”
You Tanzhi's voice was impassioned and righteous, his tone both righteous and tragic.
Li Huan laughed and said, "You're quite something, kid. You've learned to play 'Kill Three Birds with One Stone'. You can please A Zi, deal with Qiao Feng, and even have a chance to become the leader of the martial arts alliance!"
Duan Yu hurriedly said, "You Tanzhi, you are being delusional. My elder brother Qiao Feng is extremely intelligent. How could he be fooled into coming to Shaolin Temple to participate in the martial arts conference?"
You Tanzhi said, "Azi is Azhu's younger sister. She sent someone to deliver a message to Qiao Feng. How could Qiao Feng not come?"
Li Huan was shocked: "Holy crap, you wrote a letter claiming that A Zi was in trouble, and tricked Brother Qiao Feng into coming to Shaolin Temple?"
"Hahaha..." Azi laughed, "You guessed right, but that letter wasn't written by You Tanzhi, it was written by me..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves!
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty fine horses galloped into the square.
Each horse is entirely black, but its hooves and saddle are made of gold, creating a striking contrast.
The cavalry parted, and a man galloped out from the middle, his cloak billowing, exuding an imposing aura.
"Big brother!" Duan Yu called out.
This man was none other than Qiao Feng.
Li Huan stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Brother, how have you been?"
Qiao Feng returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Second Brother, Third Brother!"
He didn't dismount immediately, but moved aside.
In an instant, another person rode up on horseback.
"Sister!" Azi called out, waving her hand.
"A-Zhu!" Ruan Xingzhu exclaimed joyfully.
Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
A'Zhu is not dead; she is still alive.
Qiao Feng said, "Second brother, third brother, I have married A'Zhu."
Li Huanle said, "Congratulations, brother, on your happy marriage with A'Zhu. I wish you both a baby soon and a long and happy life together."
Qiao Feng laughed loudly, immediately dismounted, and reached out to help A'Zhu up.
Duan Yu said, "Congratulations, brother! When are you and A'Zhu, no, when are you and sister-in-law getting married? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Qiao Feng said, "Second brother, you are in a foreign land overseas, and your whereabouts are uncertain. A'Zhu and I are in love, so we will get married first, but we have not yet held a wedding ceremony."
Suddenly, Xu Zhu walked over, knelt down and kowtowed: "Big Brother!"
Qiao Feng was stunned: "Who is this...?"
Duan Yu said, "His name is Xu Zhu. He is my sworn brother. In terms of age, Xu Zhu is older than me. From now on, elder brother, you should call me fourth brother!"
Qiao Feng nodded and helped Xu Zhu up: "Third Brother!"
Azhu walked up to Azi and asked with concern, "You sent someone to deliver a message saying that you are seriously ill. What exactly happened?"
Azi said with a smile, "I missed you, sister. I was afraid you wouldn't come to Shaolin Temple, so I lied and said I was sick."
A'Zhu was both amused and exasperated, and scolded, "I was extremely anxious. Your brother-in-law specially escorted me to Shaolin Temple..."
Ruan Xingzhu walked over and hugged Azhu and Azi, her eyes filled with affection.
Azi looked at Qiao Feng: "Is he Qiao Feng?"
Qiao Feng declared loudly, "I am a Khitan, surnamed Xiao, given name Feng! The name Qiao Feng will no longer exist in the martial world!"
Instantly, a murmur of discussion arose within the Beggars' Sect.
Elder Song said, "Qiao Feng, although you have changed your name to Xiao Feng, the crimes you have committed can never be changed!"
Xiao Feng said, "That day at Juxian Manor, I had no choice but to threaten Doctor Xue in order to get him to treat A'Zhu's injuries. I didn't mean to kill him!"
"Masters from all sides joined forces to attack me, A'Zhu, and Duan Yu. If I hadn't used my martial arts to resist, I would have died at Juxian Manor long ago!"
You Tanzhi's eyes blazed with fury, as if he wished he could kill Xiao Feng with a single blow!
Li Huan said, "Brother, you've come all the way from Liao, so please keep your wife company and let her rest. I'll teach You Tanzhi a lesson first!"
Xiao Feng asked curiously, "You Tanzhi? The young master of Juxian Manor?"
Li Huan pointed at You Tanzhi: "Look, this is You Tanzhi, who calls himself Zhuang Juxian!"
Xiao Feng sized up You Tanzhi and said politely, "Young Master You, please remove your mask so that I can see you clearly."
You Tanzhi's shoulders trembled.
His face was already disfigured and hideous.
If the human skin mask were removed at this moment, it would inevitably be met with contempt and disgust from everyone.
Seeing You Tanzhi remain silent, Xiao Feng laughed and said, "How can I know you are the real You Tanzhi if you don't take off your mask?"
You Tanzhi angrily said, "Do you remember that day at Juxian Manor when you took away my father's and uncle's shields, humiliated them, and caused them to commit suicide?"
Xiao Feng frowned slightly and retorted in an unpleasant tone.
"I spared your father and didn't hurt him. He committed suicide out of shame. What does that have to do with me?"
You Tanzhi shouted, "You insulted my father in public, how could he not commit suicide?"
Xiao Feng laughed loudly: "Hahaha! I, Xiao Feng, have defeated countless opponents in my life. If they all committed suicide, wouldn't I become a murderous demon king?"
You Tanzhi rebuked: "You are utterly wicked! You murdered your adoptive parents, your Shaolin master, and other martial arts practitioners. You are a great demon!"
In an instant, a chorus of angry shouts erupted from the scene, and many people pointed at Xiao Feng and hurled insults at him…
Taking advantage of the opportunity, You Tanzhi said, "Heroes! Xiao Feng has appeared today, so we must not let him escape!"
Suddenly, everyone surrounded Xiao Feng, glaring at him menacingly.
Li Huan's figure blurred as he rushed to You Tanzhi's side like lightning, reaching out to remove his mask!
