The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 333 Outrageous Reasons for Defection

Two days later, Chen He obtained intelligence about the Western Xia's spies in the Jin Kingdom and laughed heartily in front of Helian Kenan.

"I knew it. Every time Yu Rong and the others bathe this guy, even though he has a reaction, and they are always willing to let him, he just endures it and doesn't dare to open his eyes, while at the same time he seems to be enjoying it."

I knew this guy had something going on back then, and now it seems like he has a really big problem. It's hilarious.

Helian Kenan didn't check the intelligence immediately and didn't know what Chen He was laughing about. Hearing his words, he felt a headache coming on.

“A big problem? That means he had ulterior motives for entering the guild. We can’t use this person anymore, but the arena competition is only a few days away. Where can we find another expert? The Yipintang matter cannot be lost.”

"It's okay, it still works. The problem is big, but it's not our problem; it's the guy himself who has the problem."

The reason this guy defected is no secret throughout the entire Jin Kingdom now, and it's a laughing stock for everyone; his background has been thoroughly investigated.

Chen He coughed twice, keeping everyone in suspense, but seeing that Helian Kenan was getting a little anxious, he finally spoke.

"This guy's real name is Nie Tiegen, not Nie Feng. He was once a rare expert in the rebel army and was indeed skilled in leg techniques and lightness skills."

Because of his unremarkable appearance, although he was frequently sent out on missions and killed many Jin Dynasty experts, he only attracted everyone's attention after his defection and being wanted worldwide by the rebel army.

As for the reason for his defection, it was truly unbelievable. According to the intelligence obtained by the rebels, this guy loved to frequent brothels and was very generous, but he would only look around and never stay overnight, nor had he ever slept with any girl.

Everyone thought that this guy had some psychological problem, or that he was simply impotent, but who knew that it was actually the problem with the martial arts he practiced that required him to always remain a virgin, otherwise he would immediately become a cripple once he lost his virginity.

But this guy has quite a lustful heart, so he can only satisfy his cravings by going to brothels. No wonder, last time I talked to him about the romantic affairs in brothels, he knew them all like the back of his hand. I thought he must be an old hand, but it turns out he was just scratching the surface.

I can only admire this guy now. His strong reaction, coupled with his ability to endure it to this extent, makes him arguably the best in the martial arts world.

"Then why did he defect from the rebel army? Wouldn't that have been a better thing?"

"Isn't it because a leader in the rebel army took a fancy to him and wanted to force him to marry him? It is said that this leader's surname is Niu, and he holds a very important position in the rebel army."

"With a face like his, who would want him?"

"To each their own. It is said that this female commander surnamed Niu is as beautiful as an angel, but she never looks at ordinary men and only likes men with fair skin. Yu Rong also said that this guy is not good-looking, but when he takes off his clothes, you will find that he is as white as mutton fat jade, and even women are not as good as him."

"Just for this? He doesn't want to say it outright, but does it warrant defecting?"

"The problem was that he was unwilling to explain why he couldn't break the rules. He just kept resisting, which angered the commander surnamed Niu, who tried to force himself on her. As a result, he accidentally cut off one of the woman's hands, which is why he had to escape."

"This reason is full of loopholes and doesn't make any sense at all."

"Master, you may not know this, but generally, if a reason is made up, it will be made to be as flawless as possible."

On the contrary, it is often these seemingly absurd and impossible reasons that are actually true; life is often more absurd than we imagine.

"So what do you think? Is this person suitable?"

“He can be used. I’ve ordered the spies over there to expedite the investigation and gather more information about him. But the problem is, there’s no reason why he can’t be used, and we can’t find another expert in the short term.”

"Very well, time waits for no one. In that case, I will report to the princess and have him compete in the top-level arena as soon as possible to see how good his martial arts really are."

While Helian Kenan and Chen He were discussing the matter, Wu Chengyu was drinking tea in the courtyard, completely unaware that they were talking about him. Even if he had known, he could only smile bitterly.

Nie Tiegen's identity was entirely arranged by Hong Niangzi, and the reason for his defection also came from Hong Niangzi. It can be said that this heroine went to great lengths to prevent her husband from having affairs, and even came up with such an illogical reason.

One reason is that she practiced virginity training and couldn't break her vow of celibacy, another is that her fair skin made her a target, and yet they dragged Sister Niu into it as the culprit. The key point is that Sister Niu was quite happy to accept it.

Given this background, if Wu Chengyu couldn't resist eating those maids, everyone would know his identity was fake. So even if he couldn't resist, he had to endure it. This shows that married women are often quite ruthless towards their husbands.

Wu Chengyu had no choice but to comply. Of course, he was very picky and ordinary women didn't meet his standards at all.

Not long after Helian Kenan and Chen He made their decision, Chen He arrived. He looked at Wu Chengyu with a smile, sizing him up, especially observing a certain part of his body. He seemed about to burst out laughing at any moment: "Brother Nie, you seem to be having a good time. I've missed you dearly these past two days."

"I eat well, sleep well, and am served here, so I am naturally quite comfortable. But I wonder what brings you here, Brother Chen?"

"Of course, it's because Princess Yuzhu has returned. She was overjoyed to hear that our guild has gained such a master as you. With Master Helian's guarantee, your status as a top-tier master is a sure thing. But without rules, there can be no order, and the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

The princess has given orders that today at Shenshi (3-5 PM), she will personally spar with you on the arena at Desheng Tower. You need not worry, as although the princess is highly skilled in martial arts, she is very measured in her attacks. She is merely testing your strength and will not kill you.

"As long as you demonstrate all your skills, the princess will give you everything you need, from gold and silver to official positions and salaries."

“That’s perfect. I’ve been receiving rewards without doing anything every day, and I’m quite uneasy about it. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the princess for a long time. In that case, I will definitely study all my knowledge this afternoon and I’m sure I will gain the princess’s approval.”

"That's good. Then I'll take my leave. I'll definitely be watching the game this afternoon. I wish Brother Tiegen a bright future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen He turned and left, bursting into laughter. Wu Chengyu immediately knew that the other party had obtained information about him. Even in disguise, his face turned slightly red. His wife was actually very good, but he was speechless.

To be honest, it was because Wu Chengyu suddenly wanted to run away and become a wanderer again, and he was gone for several years. As his wife, Hong Niangzi was naturally unhappy.

Heroic and valiant, strategic and resourceful, gentle and tender, considerate and understanding—these are all ways to describe Hong Niangzi. Who knew she could be so capricious and cause headaches?

Wu Chengyu finally managed to calm himself down, only to find that the maids around him were all secretly watching him and laughing. Now Wu Chengyu knew that the so-called secret of his identity had spread throughout the guild.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Wu Chengyu arrived at Deshenglou. The others hadn't arrived yet; only Chen Hexian was waiting there.

Chen He's identity is now obvious; he is clearly the intelligence chief of this Yangwu Guild Hall, somewhat eccentric in nature, but also a confidant of Princess Yuzhu.

"Brother Tiegen, don't worry, the princess will be here soon, along with her junior brother, who is also a top-level expert in our guild. I wonder who will be your opponent later."

Wu Chengyu nodded without speaking, and simply closed his eyes to rest. Before an incense stick could burn, he heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching.

The leader walked with a powerful stride, his steps were extremely large and his footsteps were very heavy, but he didn't shake off much dust when he stepped on the ground, as if he stopped exerting himself the moment he made a sound.

This shows that this person possesses immense strength, yet is able to control it well, never easily revealing even a fraction of it.

This person was none other than the fierce general Princess Yuzhu. Previously, he had only seen her riding a horse and dragging her fiancé down the street with a smile. Now, at close range, Wu Chengyu immediately realized that this person's martial arts skills were even greater than he had initially expected.

There were two people on each side of her. The person on her left was half a step behind. Judging from the footsteps, it was obviously the curator Helian Kenan, who had shown up that day.

But the person on the right walked alongside the princess, and most importantly, their footsteps were extremely light, almost inaudible, as if they were just lightly touching the ground with their toes and floating in the air. If Wu Chengyu hadn't had extraordinary hearing, he wouldn't have even been able to detect that there was someone there.

"Greetings, Princess Yuzhu," Chen He said, bowing respectfully.

Wu Chengyu also quickly opened his eyes and clasped his hands in greeting, but his eyes were fixed on the person to the princess's right. This person's lightness skill was actually no less than that of the Guihua from before.

"No need for formalities. I am very pleased to have such a master as Mr. Nie come to serve me today."

Princess Yuzhu's deep, resonant voice seemed to shake the training ground. She turned and walked to the grand chair next to the training ground, sat down with an air of authority, and gestured for Helian Kenan and another person to sit down as well.

Then, his tiger-like eyes flashed as he stared at Wu Chengyu. When he saw that big-headed guy's face, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He really didn't have the demeanor of a master. If Helian Kenan hadn't been able to guarantee that this person's martial arts were at least no weaker than his own, Princess Yuzhu would never have shown up today.

Wu Chengyu's gaze immediately shifted from the person next to him back to Princess Yuzhu. Apart from lacking an Adam's apple, she had no womanly figure from any angle. The only difference between her and Zhang Fei was a full beard.

However, when placed alongside those who were with Princess Yuzhu, they represent two extremes.

The woman next to him, whose lightness skill startled Wu Chengyu, was dressed in palace attire, adorned with a golden hairpin, and possessed a captivating beauty. In Wu Chengyu's time-travel era, if it came to femininity, this woman would undoubtedly be the top courtesan in any brothel across the country.

Her face was only lightly powdered, without a strong scent of cosmetics. With Wu Chengyu's sense of smell, he could naturally detect the jasmine-like fragrance emanating from her body. Her eyes were large and bright, and she was looking at Wu Chengyu with great interest.

The only problem, and the biggest difference between the other party and Princess Yuzhu, is that this one has an Adam's apple.
