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

Chapter 85 Quarrel
The conversation that had just started fell silent as soon as Chen Mei and her companion were mentioned.

Qu Lingfeng picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the glass heavily on the table.

"I don't know what kind of madness those two had back then, not only did they drag us down with them, but now they've even lost their lives."

Lu Chengfeng also let out a long sigh. Wu Chengyu remained silent. He didn't know whether the world he was in now was the original version by Jin Yong or a later revised version. If it was a revised version that he hadn't read, then Mei Chaofeng's defection from Peach Blossom Island must have had a hidden reason.

Many older people who have seen the original version are unwilling to watch the revised version, and Wu Chengyu is one of them. He only occasionally heard people mention that Huang Yaoshi in the revised version was full of scumbag attributes, but he was too lazy to investigate further.

Of course, he wouldn't voice this conjecture. The two people in front of him were practically Huang Yaoshi's loyal dogs, and there was no need to cause trouble for himself.

Unfortunately, Wu Chengyu didn't want to cause trouble, but someone wouldn't let him go.

Qu Lingfeng broke the silence first: "I wonder if our master will be so kind as to allow us to return to Peach Blossom Island after we three send their bodies back."

Lu Chengfeng was also somewhat anxious: "Who would have thought that this guy really didn't bring the Nine Yin Manual with him? After everyone left, I sent people to search that valley, but they found nothing. Without the Nine Yin Manual, we haven't completed our mission, and our master might not be able to accept the three of us."

When Qu Lingfeng mentioned that the three of them had returned the body, Wu Chengyu frowned. He had never said that they would return to Peach Blossom Island together.

After expressing his concerns, Lu Chengfeng actually set his sights on Wu Chengyu.

“Junior brother, after all, you and our master are relatives. Whether we can reunite as disciples after returning to Peach Blossom Island depends on your help.”

Wu Chengyu raised an eyebrow, his face turning cold: "Don't forget, my relative was also beaten and thrown out with his leg broken."

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "At that time, my legs were in excruciating pain, but I was still quite conscious. After breaking Mo Feng's legs, my master's anger had actually subsided by more than half. You are, after all, my master's wife's nephew, and the relationship is different from ours. At most, my master would just kick you out."

But you happened to be there then, viciously cursing your mentor. Who is your mentor? When has anyone ever dared to insult him to his face? Otherwise, why would he have laid a hand on you?

Looking back now, Wu Chengyu realized that it seemed to be true. Huang Yaoshi did hesitate before attacking his predecessor. It was only after the predecessor cursed him that he became angry and embarrassed, and then used his finger-flicking technique to break the predecessor's leg bone.

But what does all this have to do with him? It was the former who lost his leg, but he himself is the one suffering. He has never had any good feelings towards Huang Yaoshi, let alone grovel before him. This Lu Chengfeng is pedantic, but now he's resorting to scheming in order to return to his sect.

Wu Chengyu picked up the fried soybeans from the tray, stuffed a small handful directly into his mouth, chewed them hard with a clattering sound, and tilted his head slightly to look at Lu Chengfeng with a mocking gaze. He didn't say anything for a long time, just kept staring at Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng's eyes flickered under Wu Chengyu's gaze, but he still patiently waited for Wu Chengyu to continue.

After finally managing to chew and swallow the soybeans in her mouth, Wu Chengyu saw that Lu Chengfeng still hadn't given up on trying to drag Wu Chengyu down with him, and finally lost her patience.

"After my aunt died, I had no further connection with Huang Yaoshi. If you two want to go back to Peach Blossom Island, you can go back. I will go back one day, but not to beg him to become my disciple again."

Upon hearing this, Qu Lingfeng flew into a rage, crushed the wine glass in his hand, and turned to angrily rebuke Wu Chengyu.

“Junior brother, how can you be so rude as to openly address our master by his name? This is disloyal and unfilial. You should know that our master’s kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain.”

"Then tell me, what kindness has Huang Yaoshi shown me?"
I entered Peach Blossom Island because my aunt took pity on me and adopted me. I have never received any great kindness from Huang Yaoshi. During my time on Peach Blossom Island, he disliked my poor aptitude. Although he was called my master, when did he ever truly teach me patiently? The only skills I know, the Azure Wave Heart Sutra and the Azure Wave Palm Technique, were apparently taught to me by you, Qu Lingfeng. I was on Peach Blossom Island for five years, and he ignored me and barely said a word to me.

My aunt loved me, but as a married woman, she had to obey her husband. She didn't know martial arts, and she only heard Huang Yaoshi say that I had poor aptitude and was not worth cultivating. She didn't know how to help me, so she could only take better care of me in daily life.

"I acknowledge my aunt's kindness to me, but let me ask you another question: what kindness has Huang Yaoshi shown me?"

These words left Qu and Lu speechless. The days on Peach Blossom Island were still vivid in their minds. Huang Yaoshi had not treated Wu Chengyu well. He had only given him the status of a disciple because of Feng Heng's influence, and had kept him on the island like a good-for-nothing.

Wu Chengyu felt relieved after speaking. He had never told anyone in the Wu family about his experiences on Peach Blossom Island. Only Wu Zhengliang, with his keen mind, guessed that he was unhappy and always told him that it would be good to come back.

These are the kinds of things I can only say to Qu Lingfeng and Lu Chengfeng, because they are also firsthand witnesses.

Speaking of which, Wu Mianfeng is the most tragic among the disciples of Peach Blossom Island. Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng brought it upon themselves, while Lu Chengfeng, even with his broken leg, still had a powerful force at home.

Qu Lingfeng possessed the highest martial arts skills and lived a secluded life in Niujia Village, where he had no worries about food or clothing. His decision to break into the palace at night to steal treasures was his own choice.

Feng Mofeng had a rather tragic life, but he still lived until the Condor Heroes era, and his blacksmithing skills ensured he had no worries about food and drink.

Only Wu Mianfeng's name appears from beginning to end, and only Wu Chengyu knows how wronged he is.

His family was harmonious and powerful; his mother's inheritance alone amounted to tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there were hundreds of martial arts manuals from the Murong family waiting for him to learn. Then, after being thrown off the island, he couldn't hold on and died? All such good resources were wasted. Who could be more wronged than him?

"Even if you say I live on Peach Blossom Island and eat and drink his food, even if I have studied the Azure Wave Palm Technique for at least five years, it should be more than enough for me to repay him with this leg. So I don't owe him anything, he owes me something."

Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng, last night Ke Zhen'e told me that those who are different cannot work together. I'll pass that on to you as well. After leaving Wuxi, we don't really need to see each other again. I wish you both the best of luck and a speedy return to Peach Blossom Island.

These words made Lu Chengfeng and Qu Lingfeng lose face, and they dared not say another word. Wu Chengyu's martial arts skills were extraordinary, and Lu Chengfeng and Qu Lingfeng knew they could not defeat him, especially since they were both disabled and were most afraid of Wu Chengyu, a master of lightness skills who could create several figures at any time.

They were unreasonable to reason with, and they couldn't beat them in a fight. They didn't know that Lu Zhiyi and his group were descendants of Yue Fei's army, but they were definitely not to be trifled with. If Wu Chengyu wanted to, he could immediately become a major martial arts force in Jiangnan.

Wu Chengyu ignored him and went into the inner room to Chen Xuanfeng's corpse.

At this moment, Qu Lingfeng and Lu Chengfeng were still sulking in the living room, paying no attention to Wu Chengyu.

Chen Xuanfeng's body had not yet been cleaned up, but the internal energy that Wu Chengyu had injected had been completely used up, and the swelling in his chest had finally stopped.

Wu Chengyu reached out and tore off the tattered clothes on Chen Xuanfeng's chest, then took out a piece of white cloth from his bosom and quickly copied the entire Nine Yin Manual from Chen Xuanfeng's chest.

Then he struck Chen Xuanfeng's chest again, this time shattering the skin on Chen Xuanfeng's chest. Even if someone were to examine it carefully, they would only be able to see a few words. The second volume of the Nine Yin Manual had finally come into Wu Chengyu's hands.

With that, the matter of the Black Wind Duo was completely over. He turned and walked to the door, opened it, and bowed to Qu Lingfeng and Lu Chengfeng as a farewell before turning and leaving gracefully.
