Chapter 33 Kang Min's Whereabouts
At Juxian Manor, the head of the manor, You Ji, paced back and forth in the reception room, his heart filled with anxiety.
"I wonder if the guards have found the extraordinary person that Miss Kang mentioned, and I also don't know if she is willing to help revive my second brother."
"Uncle, don't worry," You Tanzhi, sitting at the lower end of the table, reassured him. "That extraordinary person and Min'er have a deep friendship, so they will definitely agree to help."
You Ji glared at his silly nephew, then glanced at Kang Min, who was sitting quietly next to him, and sighed inwardly again.
"This woman has a mysterious background and is quite cunning. Tanzhi is neither good at academics nor martial arts, so it's hard to say whether meeting her is a blessing or a curse."
Before he could finish worrying, he heard a clear female voice.
"Kang Min, were you looking for me?"
A woman he had never seen before appeared before him as if she were in an empty place.
Unusually unconventional, Xiu Chu suddenly appeared in the courtyard of Juxian Manor and walked directly into the reception room, ignoring the guards around him.
A hint of surprise flashed through Kang Min's heart as she was surprised that the other party was actually willing to cooperate with her.
Having no need for the backup plan, Kang Min quickly got up and started acting.
“It is I. I am willing to give you a thousand pieces of gold. Please, Miss Xiu, save my uncle.”
"Is that so?" Showing off her extraordinary encounter tilted her head. "Same as always, pay first!"
Despite the seemingly impolite exchange, Kang Min was so moved she almost cried.
Even the best-case scenario she envisioned didn't meet her expectations for the current development.
At this moment, she forgot who had resurrected Ma Dayuan and ruined her plans, and who had deliberately mocked her when they didn't want to sell the carriage.
He couldn't help but feel a slight fondness for Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter.
"How can we let Miss Kang pay for this?" You Ji, standing behind her, stopped Kang Min from taking out her money and offered her a stack of gold notes instead.
"We at Juxianzhuang still have some resources."
She didn't care who paid for her amazing encounter and just took it without a second thought. As long as she wasn't shortchanged, that was fine.
Seeing that Xiu had a miraculous encounter and accepted the gold ticket, You Ji finally showed a slight smile.
“That man uses his money to avert disaster,” said the man who had received the gold note, who took the initiative to speak up: “Where is the person who needs to be resurrected? Let’s go and resurrect him now.”
You Ji, who had already intended to bring up the matter, was overjoyed to see Xiu's extraordinary encounter and took the initiative to speak up. He immediately led the way for her.
"It's in the backyard. Please come with me, young lady."
Show off your amazing encounters and use the Divine Dance skill for the Nth time.
"Long ago, I was just bones; now, flesh has returned to my body; I have lain in the Yellow Springs, and now I see the heavens again."
The dead man opened his eyes again, and his face, which had turned purplish-black from poisoning, regained its rosy color.
"Second brother, you're awake."
You Ji excitedly stepped forward to help You Ju up. Even though he had heard about the Beggars' Sect and Shaolin Temple, he was still a little apprehensive before he had personally witnessed such a miraculous skill as bringing the dead back to life.
Now that he has seen his second brother come back to life before his eyes, You Ji finally felt relieved.
“Miss Kang, you are Tanzhi’s fiancée, you know the layout of the manor very well, and you are also an old friend of Miss Xiu. How about you take charge of entertaining Miss Xiu during this period?”
Knowing that her plan had succeeded, Kang Min lowered her head, a glint in her eyes, and responded softly.
"Miss Xiu, the scenery in the village is quite interesting. Why don't you come with me for a stroll?"
Having already shown some curiosity about Kang Min, Xiu readily agreed to her extraordinary encounter: "Okay."
Watching Kang Min leave with Xiu Chu's amazing adventure, You Ji's gaze towards Kang Min's retreating figure softened considerably compared to before.
"It seems I was overthinking it. Although Kang Min is cunning, she is truly sincere towards Tan Zhi."
"For Tanzhi's sake, she was even willing to help ask someone to revive her second brother, who had always opposed her marriage to Tanzhi. She must really have deep feelings for Tanzhi."
Thinking of this, he quickly recounted the whole story to his second brother, who had just been resurrected.
"Second brother, although Kang Min is a bit older than Tan Zhi, she is truly sincere towards him. Now that she has helped find someone to save you, you should stop opposing her marriage to Tan Zhi."
Yuju remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"I understand, brother."
On the other side, after wandering around the village with Kang Min for half a day, Xiu Chu finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"How did you suddenly become You Tanzhi's fiancée?"
Kang Min smiled and looked down.
"It was an accident. You know I don't know martial arts, but I'm somewhat attractive. After we parted ways, I was thinking of finding a place to live in seclusion. Who knew I would be targeted by some thugs on the street and harassed in public? It was Tan Lu who saved me."
"We fell in love at first sight, which is why we went here with him."
He shook his head in disapproval of the story of his extraordinary encounter.
"You're not just 'somewhat pretty,' based on your modeling skills, you're practically a stunning beauty."
He couldn't help but nod as he spoke.
"No wonder she could be loved at first sight."
Kang Min valued her beauty above all else. Hearing Xiu's extraordinary encounter and such praise made her overjoyed, her affection for her skyrocketed.
As for Kang Min taking the opportunity to show off their friendship, he didn't bring it up himself, even though he was still thinking straight.
It's just leveraging her connections; she used them and that's it. There are plenty of NPCs who hire her for free, but at least Kang Min paid them.
"Is that right, Village Chief? I, the dignified Lord Hongyi, am only worth 20 copper coins for a single task, which is practically like working for free. Is that reasonable?"
The person who redid the Daoxiang Village quest was secretly complaining.
"But the owner of Juxian Manor is quite nice. I thought there would be some melodramatic plot where he wanted to marry his son to a woman of equal social standing and therefore vehemently opposed your marriage. I didn't expect him to agree to the marriage so readily."
"Yes, they are very nice people."
Kang Min lowered her head, concealing the sarcasm in her eyes.
He kept the fact that he had poisoned Youju to death and then used the resurrection of Youju as a way to show his kindness to others to a deep secret in his heart, and he had no intention of telling anyone.
*********
When invited by an NPC to stay and watch the wedding for the first time, I readily agreed.
Just as she was looking forward to some fun interactions at the wedding, Shaolin disciples suddenly arrived at Juxian Manor.
Shaolin Temple!
Showing off an extraordinary encounter made my eyes light up.
"This is a big client!"
Xu Zhu: "Greetings, esteemed benefactors. I have been sent to deliver this invitation to all heroes to attend the Heroes' Gathering at Shaolin Temple on the fifteenth of this month."
You Ji: "Heroes' Gathering? Has some kind of trouble broken out in the martial arts world again? How come we haven't heard a single word about it?"
Xu Zhu: "No, the elders said that the abbot invited heroes from all walks of life to Shaolin to witness and settle an old matter."
Xu Zhu: "As for the matter of the past, this humble monk does not know."
You Ji: "Alright, please go back and inform Abbot Xuanci that our Juxian Manor will definitely go on time."
Seeing that the young novice monk was about to leave after delivering the letter, Xiuxiu became anxious about her extraordinary encounter.
"Hey, little monk, where's my invitation?"
"Don't you want me to participate?"
Does the player not need to be present to progress through the story?
A gathering of heroes! Just hearing the name tells you there will be a lot of people. Maybe we can expand into a few more businesses.
Xu Zhu: "Yes, yes."
The young monk Xuzhu, who had previously received treatment for his extraordinary encounters, bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Xu Zhu: "This humble monk needs to send out twenty invitations in total. Today, I was just passing by and shamelessly came to visit, but I only managed to send out one."
Xu Zhu: "If the female benefactor needs one, this humble monk can give you one."
"So you NPCs have KPIs too!" Showing off her adventure, she felt a pang of sympathy for the little novice monk in front of her.
Without hesitation, he said, "I know many Beggar Clan disciples. Why don't you give me the invitations and I'll deliver them for you?"
"I guarantee you'll be the first to meet your KPIs."
The NPC opposite first showed a puzzled expression, which then turned into apprehension.
Xu Zhu: "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you, female benefactor?"
"What trouble is this? It's nothing."
A big smiley face rose from the NPC's head.
Xu Zhu: "Then thank you very much, benefactor. I will pray for you before the Buddha, wishing you a long and peaceful life."
Praying for blessings?
Showing off an unexpected encounter is a real eye-opener.
Which sweet potato hasn't posted "Praying for blessings at Jintai Temple" in the world chat?
"Don't ask for these useless things. How about you pray to Buddha for me so that I can have an extraordinary encounter?"
"【Heroic Martial World】is pretty good. Please pray for me every day so that I can get 【Heroic Martial World】when I finish this level!"
*********
"Abbot, do we really have to do this?"
Inside the meditation room, a kind-faced monk spoke with some concern.
Abbot Xuanci knelt on the prayer mat, chanting scriptures intently, and only opened his eyes after finishing a section of the scripture.
"This is the sin I committed, and now that I have the opportunity to atone for it, how can I back down?"
"But if we do that, where will Shaolin's century-old reputation go?"
"Shaolin's century-old reputation..."
Abbot Xuanci sighed, "If I were to back down this time, it would truly tarnish the reputation of Shaolin Temple."
"As long as the abbot of the temple upholds justice, publicly announces my crimes before the heroes of the world, and strips me of my position as abbot of Shaolin Temple, the world will only think that Shaolin Temple has put righteousness before family, and will not question the reputation of Shaolin Temple because of me."
"But……"
“No buts,” Abbot Xuanci said firmly, “Do you think no one will know if we don’t talk about those things? Xiao Yuanshan specially sent me this letter. If I don’t do as he says and repent in front of all the heroes of the world, do you think he will let Shaolin off so easily?”
"And that mysterious person hiding in Shaolin, we must find out their identity."
Xuan Ci paused for a moment, then sighed.
"And my poor child, I need to know whether he is dead or alive."
"You know Ye Erniang's identity; it is I who have wronged her."
"I didn't know her identity before, that was fine. But now that I do, if I don't take this opportunity to end this matter, am I going to let her commit even more murders?"
"A tragic love affair from twenty years ago has resulted in so much blood and tears. These are my sins. It's time for me to pay the price."
Upon hearing this, the monk sighed.
In the end, they stopped trying to stop them.
"I will secretly find the girl who has had a wonderful encounter, and ask her to perform a spell for the abbot after the execution."
“No need,” Abbot Xuanci refused resolutely. “Having committed so many sins, how can I have the face to live in this world?”
"Senior brother, please, I'm begging you, help me one last time."
"Let me rest in peace along with these sins."
