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

Chapter 532 Feng Mofeng Many Years Later
Feng Mofeng naturally followed Huang Rong and the others back to Gushan, lagging far behind. He saw the three little ones rushing into Hongyun Restaurant after smelling the aroma, but he didn't find it strange. These three, especially Huang Rong, had been gluttons since they were little.

Huang Rong is probably the best cook in Jin Yong's martial arts world. She is not a professional chef, but her cooking is more about skill and dexterity. People who can make good food without being chefs are basically food lovers, and Wu Chengyu is the same.

Gushan had long since become an external force to Peach Blossom Island. Feng Mofeng usually stayed on Peach Blossom Island more often, while Gushan had long been managed by Lu Chengfeng and Qu Lingfeng into an impenetrable force. As long as he was in Gushan, he was not worried about the safety of the three little ones.

The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish prepared by Hongyun Restaurant was indeed quite fragrant, even making Feng Mofeng, who usually dislikes food, a little tempted.

He had always disliked worldly affairs. Apart from taking care of his junior sisters and nephews, he only knew how to practice martial arts every day. Little did he know that Hongyun Restaurant had already changed owners under the pressure of his senior brother's casino.

Then, before Feng Mofeng could even enter, he saw several servants from his senior brother Guiyun Manor sneaking around the entrance of Hongyun Restaurant, peeking out and observing every move of the restaurant.

One of them was named Lu Xiu, a member of Lu Chengfeng's clan and a trusted confidant. Feng Mofeng was also quite familiar with him. Upon seeing Feng Mofeng, Lu Xiu immediately told him everything that had happened the day before.

Of course, it didn't mention how Qu Lingfeng's Bihai Casino joined forces with Lu Chengfeng's brokerage to seize Hongyun Restaurant. The gist was that the Beggars' Gang returned to settle scores, and Mo Ku injured Qu Lingfeng in one move.

Feng Mofeng lowered his eyes slightly. It was a bit underhanded to think about how he drove away the Beggars' Sect branch back then. Feng Mofeng was young at the time and had neither the right nor the inclination to get involved in such matters.

He has a peculiar characteristic: he doesn't like to meddle in martial arts affairs, but he's biased and doesn't always stand up for what's right. Or rather, the disciples of Peach Blossom Island are inherently protective of their own and unreasonable.

When his senior brother was injured, it was only natural for him to seek revenge. However, Mo Ku's background as a member of the Beggar Clan and his status as the successor of the Northern Beggar made Feng Mofeng hesitant to act rashly.

After Feng Mofeng understood the cause and effect, he looked around Hongyun Restaurant and saw that his junior sister and two junior nephews were eating happily. But most importantly, Mo Ku was sitting casually behind Huang Rong and the others, only three feet away.

Feng Mofeng was startled. Without thinking, he used his lightness skill to slip into the restaurant, evading everyone's attention, and sat down opposite Mo Ku, thus separating Mo Ku from Huang Rong and the others.

No one in the room noticed that someone had suddenly entered, except for Wu Chengyu upstairs, Guo Jing who was telling a story, and Mo Ku who was gnawing on a pork knuckle.

Guo Jing looked up at Wu Chengyu, who shook his head slightly. Guo Jing then continued his storytelling, pretending not to know anything.

When Mo Ku heard Feng Mofeng greet her, she was also impressed by Feng Mofeng's skill. Although Mo Ku was eating pork knuckle while listening to the three children bickering, she probably only realized that Feng Mofeng's lightness skill was quite interesting when she sat down opposite her.

With his mouth full of meat, Mo Ku spoke somewhat indistinctly: "Let me finish eating first. Good food shouldn't be wasted."

Feng Mofeng was very polite. He bowed slightly and then remained silent, smiling as he waited.

Only Wu Chengyu upstairs finally turned his attention from Huang Rong to Feng Mofeng.

As expected of the guy ranked first in talent among the disciples of Peach Blossom Island, and also the one who stayed by Huang Yaoshi's side the longest among his six disciples in this life, after this kid's leg injury healed and he returned to Peach Blossom Island, several years have passed since they parted, and his martial arts progress has exceeded Wu Chengyu's expectations.

With just that one display of lightness skill, he had already received the true essence of Peach Blossom Island's martial arts. This true essence doesn't refer to proficiency or skill level, but rather to inheriting the true meaning of the Eastern Heretic's martial arts.

Among the Five Greats, in terms of lightness skills alone, Ouyang Feng's Instant Thousand Miles emphasizes sudden acceleration over short distances, while the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Skill focuses on lightness and agility. The Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar are not known for their lightness skills. Among the Five Greats, Peach Blossom Island is the most prestigious in terms of lightness skills.

The lightness skill of Peach Blossom Island is not as fast as Wu Chengyu's, which is so fast that he can split himself into two and become a shadow. It is not good at long-distance raids and can leave no trace for thousands of miles. What it really emphasizes is lightness and agility.

In terms of martial arts styles, Peach Blossom Island emphasizes the interplay of reality and illusion and the control of internal energy, focusing on versatility. This is also reflected in its lightness skills, which allow one to walk on snow without leaving a trace and move nimbly and unpredictably. This is the true essence of Peach Blossom Island's martial arts.

Just now, Feng Mofeng used his lightness skill to suddenly enter the lobby of the restaurant. He turned around easily among the many tables and deceived everyone's senses. No one knew that someone had passed by. This lightness and agility perfectly demonstrated the essence of Peach Blossom Island martial arts.

Without even lifting a finger, Wu Chengyu knew that although Feng Mofeng's skill level might be still shallow, in terms of martial arts realm, he had already surpassed the super-first-class level and transformed into a top-tier master, just like A Ku.

It now seems that the only person who can truly inherit the Peach Blossom Island's unique skills is Feng Mofeng.

The techniques are all the same; the key lies in the practitioner. The agility of Peach Blossom Island's lightness skill and the true meaning of other martial arts are closely related to one's comprehension. Without sufficient comprehension, even if the power is extraordinary, one will never reach the highest level.

Among the six disciples of Peach Blossom Island, Mei Chaofeng was considered to have mastered the essence of this lightness skill, but unfortunately, she later embarked on a path of no return.

Chen Xuanfeng excels in external martial arts and his fighting style is hard and straightforward, which is actually somewhat incompatible with the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island.

Qu Lingfeng was skilled in the Splitting Palm technique, possessing formidable palm power. His lightness skill was also quite good; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to steal treasures from the palace while using crutches. Unfortunately, his legs were crippled. Lu Chengfeng admired Huang Yaoshi the most, trying to learn everything Huang Yaoshi knew, yet mastering nothing, indicating a lack of comprehension. In terms of achievements alone, he ranked lowest among the first four disciples.

The remaining predecessor, Wu Mianfeng, was purely a nepotism case. His aptitude was too poor and his comprehension was insufficient. If Wu Chengyu hadn't transmigrated, even if he hadn't died back then, his upper limit for life would have been at most second-rate.

There's also Feng Mofeng from the original novel, who has excellent talent, but his leg never fully healed after being broken, and he's too naive. He was too young when he left the island and didn't learn much martial arts, so naturally he couldn't inherit the mantle of Peach Blossom Island.

Cheng Ying, Huang Yaoshi's last disciple, was only of average talent and had a too quiet personality, which did not match the flexibility and adaptability of Peach Blossom Island.

Therefore, in the original novel, Huang Yaoshi had a total of seven disciples, but for various reasons, none of them were able to learn the essence of his martial arts, and it was eventually lost.

Furthermore, Huang Rong, who was middle-aged in The Return of the Condor Heroes, should have grasped some of the true meaning of her own martial arts. However, apart from the unique skills of Peach Blossom Island, she also practiced the Nine Yin Manual and the unique skills of the Beggars' Sect. Therefore, she could no longer be considered the successor of Peach Blossom Island.

Now, Feng Mofeng's fate has been reversed. With his talent, he has received many years of instruction from Huang Yaoshi and has finally truly inherited Huang Yaoshi's martial arts, so that Huang Yaoshi will not have no successor. From this point of view, Huang Yaoshi should thank Wu Chengyu.

Wu Chengyu and Feng Mofeng had a good relationship, mainly because his predecessor had a good relationship with Feng Mofeng. For the current Wu Chengyu, apart from Huang Rong, Feng Mofeng was the one he admired most on Peach Blossom Island.

Feng Mofeng's appearance did not attract the attention of the three children; instead, Guo Jing struck the gavel again.

Today, I will tell another story of a heartless and unfaithful man. He is so hypocritical and despicable that it is outrageous.

This man's surname is Xu and his given name is Zhimo. He was originally a scholar and was indeed highly talented. He was known in the martial arts world as "the talented scholar Yun Zhonghe".

He had a virtuous wife at home, but when she was six months pregnant, he sent her a letter of divorce, kicking her out of the house, all for the sake of marrying another talented woman.

Unexpectedly, the talented woman was uninterested in him and married her fiancé. Xu Zhimo showed no remorse and instead pursued another woman. Although she was beautiful, she was already married, and her husband was none other than Xu Zhimo's best friend!

Such a heartless man betrayed his wife in her time of hardship and plunged his dearest friend into injustice. He ruined his wife's life and disrupted his friend's family. How could there be such a shameless and despicable person in the world!
Dear readers, do you think Xu Zhimo deserves our scathing condemnation? May all unfaithful people in the world meet a bad end.

After the story was told, the diners in the restaurant became agitated again, and everyone started cursing. They ate two extra bowls of rice, and many people threw a lot of copper coins at the table in front of Guo Jing, which caught Guo Jing off guard.

The three children were also indignant. Huang Rong took out a silver ingot from Lu Guanying's money bag and threw it to Guo Jing, who was originally her destined husband, as a reward for her little brother.

Lu Guanying then swore to Qu Yun, "Xiao Yun, don't worry, even if you are pregnant, I will not have any affairs outside, or I will have my master beat me to death."

Qu Yun blushed deeply at Lu Guanying's words and twisted Lu Guanying's waist hard, causing Lu Guanying to scream in pain. It was at this moment that he noticed Feng Mofeng's figure.

At this moment, Feng Mofeng had his back to Huang Rong and Qu Yun, but Lu Guanying saw him clearly. Lu Guanying repeatedly gave Huang Rong and Qu Yun meaningful glances, and the two girls only then realized what was happening.

Huang Rong and Qu Yun stuck out their tongues, wondering how to avoid Feng Mofeng, when they overheard Feng Mofeng's conversation with Mo Ku.

"Miss Mo is enjoying her meal to the fullest. However, since this restaurant is run by the Beggars' Sect, I find it rather strange that the storyteller always tells stories of unfaithful men. It doesn't quite fit the atmosphere of this restaurant."

A-Ku swallowed the tendon in her mouth, and the braised pork knuckle was finally clean. She gestured to the waiter, and someone immediately brought over a copper basin to help Mo-Ku wash her hands.

While washing his hands, Mo Ku said, "Actually, I don't know either. It's just that some people are born liking to play pranks, but there's always a deeper meaning behind what he does, so I'm too lazy to ask."

To put it bluntly, it's Wu Chengyu's twisted sense of humor. In Jin Yong's martial arts world, he tells the story of Jin Yong's cousin being a heartless man. I wonder if Jin Yong would be happy about that, since it seems that Jin Yong and Yun Zhonghe's relationship has never been very good.

Feng Mofeng frowned slightly: "Could it be that Hongyun Restaurant is no longer managed by Miss Mo, but is being controlled by someone else?"
That's strange indeed. I've heard that within the Beggars' Sect, Lady Mo is second only to the leader. It can't be that Chief Hong himself came to oversee things; what qualifications does a mere Gushan have?"

Mo Ku had already washed and dried his hands before turning to look at Feng Mofeng.

"Why would Seventh Master come here? Actually, you've all misunderstood. I'm just here to watch the show. What's about to happen has nothing to do with me. Yesterday, Qu Lingfeng was your senior brother. He also misunderstood, which led to him fighting me for nothing."

Next, Mo Ku looked at Feng Mofeng with great interest: "Among the disciples of Peach Blossom Island, there is someone who has the highest opinion of you. Your lightness skill just now was impressive. How about we have a little sparring session?"
