Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Chapter 119 Duan Wangye's Reputation, Xiao Yuanshan

Ye Erniang trembled and said, "He is—he—I can't say."

The crowd was curious as to why they were suddenly talking about Ye Erniang's child and husband.

Yue Laosan, standing beside Ye Erniang, was even more curious. He had known Ye Erniang for decades but had never heard of her having another child, let alone a husband. He immediately asked:

"Third sister, you always steal other people's chubby babies to play with, and then kill them when you're done playing with them."

It turns out it was because her son had been taken away by this black man.

Second brother, I always ask you why, but you never tell me!

I never expected that what was said today would be so insightful! Brilliant!

But who exactly is that brother-in-law? Just say it outright, don't keep people in suspense!

Ye Erniang often bickered with Yue Laosan, but at this moment she completely ignored him and just kept shaking her head.

This put Yue Laosan in no mood for anything, and knowing that his third sister was truly in pain, he sighed and walked away.

The man in black said, "Ye Erniang, you were originally a girl from a good family, beautiful and extremely gentle. But when you were 18, you were seduced by a man with high martial arts skills and a powerful background, and lost your virginity to him. You gave birth to a son. Don't you agree?"

Ye Erniang nodded and then shook her head: "He saved my whole family by acting chivalrously. It wasn't him who seduced me, but me who seduced him."

The man in black ignored her and continued, "Everyone knows what kind of situation a young woman will face if she has a child out of wedlock."

But he treats you like this, yet you're still devoted to him? Will you tell him his name or not?

Upon hearing this, Ye Erniang burst into tears, shaking her head and desperately saying, "He was very good to me. I did all of this willingly. I forced him. He gave me a lot of money to settle down. He doesn't owe me anything. He's a good man!"

Seeing that he was refusing to reveal the man's name, the crowd became curious. Ye Erniang's fearsome reputation was known throughout the martial world; she was ranked second among the Four Evils.

It's clear how vicious she was, yet now she's protecting her lover like a little girl, which only fuels people's curiosity.

Duan Yu, Dao Baifeng, Li Qingluo, Qin Hongmian, Ruan Xingzhu, as well as Fan Hua, Hua Heliang, Ba Tianshi and other members of the Dali faction.

Hearing the two recount this past romantic affair, they couldn't help but steal glances at Duan Zhengchun, both feeling that Ye Erniang's lover was similar to him in every way—status, temperament, way of doing things, and age.

One of the retainers recalled, "The four villains went to Dali that day most likely to seek revenge on this debt of gratitude!"

Subsequently, some martial arts heroes also noticed the Duan family's reaction and began to whisper among themselves.

Duan Wangye's reputation was so strong that people would naturally associate such romantic affairs with him.

Even Duan Zhengchun himself began to have doubts about himself: "I, Duan Er of Dali, have known quite a few women in my life, could she be among them?"

Many people believe that Prince Duan only had five beautiful women as his confidantes in his life, including Dao Baifeng and Li Qingluo. Little do they know that these were his confidantes before he settled down. Before that, Prince Duan was even more promiscuous. Otherwise, how could he have mastered the Five Luo Light Smoke Palm?

How could Duan Yu be older than Wang Yuyan and the others? It's because Duan Yu had already broken her heart before Dao Baifeng became unruly.

At this moment, Prince Duan was completely puzzled: "If I knew her, how come I can't remember her at all?"

If it is truly my fault that she is like this, even if I am disgraced before all the heroes of the world, I, Duan, will never mistreat her in the slightest.

But why can't I remember it at all?

Just as Duan Zhengchun stepped forward, preparing to acknowledge this daughter-in-law and inquire about the child's whereabouts...

Xuan Ci, standing to the side, quickly stopped Prince Duan, who wanted to acknowledge his relatives, with a flick of his monk's robe. He then slowly walked down and, amidst the astonished gazes of the assembled heroes, reached Ye Erniang's side and said:

"Second Aunt, you've suffered so much these past years."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Ye Erniang's man was actually Master Xuanci.

No one expected that Ye Erniang's lover, who was known for her "wickedness," was not Prince Duan, but a monk, and even the abbot of Shaolin Temple!

Xuanci clasped his hands in greeting and said, "This venerable monk... I am deeply sinful, but the child is innocent. Could you please tell me where the child is?"

The man in black laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you to dare stand up. You've been the hypocritical abbot of Shaolin Temple your whole life, did you ever think you'd end up like this?!"

Xuan Ci remained silent, only softly chanting "Amitabha."

Ye Erniang knelt down, crying and begging the man in black to tell her the whereabouts of her child, whether he was dead or alive.

The monk in black said, "Years ago, I snatched your child, but I didn't kill him. Instead, I put him in the vegetable garden of Shaolin Temple."

He was raised by Shaolin monks who taught him martial arts.

Now, the child has grown up. He is a young monk here, and his Dharma name is "Xuzhu".

"Huh?" Xu Zhu was greatly shocked. He was worried about the abbot and saddened by his breaking of the precepts when the man in black suddenly started calling out his Buddhist name.

All the monks looked at him, making him feel cold all over, his bald head sweating, not knowing what to do.

Xuanci naturally looked in his direction as well. Everyone else present followed the monks' gaze and saw a little monk with dark skin, a flat nose, and thick lips.

Ye Erniang leaped up, calling out "My son!" and pulled Xuzhu into her arms.

Xu Zhu was even more disgusted. Could it be that he was really the abbot and Ye Erniang's biological son?

I met Ye Erniang last year when I was at Leigu Mountain. She didn't seem like a good person. Is she really my mother?

While Xu Zhu was deep in thought, Ye Erniang tore open his monk's robe. Before Xu Zhu could react, Ye Erniang had already taken the robe into her hand.

Xu Zhu was shocked, thinking that Ye Erniang was going to harm him, but to his surprise, she was staring at his back and muttering something.

Yes, that's right.

The monks around also looked over and saw that Xu Zhu had nine ordination scars on his back.

Ye Erniang cried out, "My child, not long after I gave birth to you, I burned nine incense scars on your back and both buttocks."

"Your mother is asking you, do you have nine shaved heads on each side of your buttocks?"

Xu Zhu nodded: "Yes."

He had nine incense scars on each of his thighs. He had had them since childhood, and he never knew where they came from.

Seeing that none of his fellow disciples were there, he was too ashamed to ask them. However, when he saw them again while bathing, he thought it was because he was destined to be connected with Buddhism and was born with it, which strengthened his desire to follow the Dharma.

Unexpectedly, this was actually a mark made by his biological mother, not for any purpose of advocating Buddhism, but because his father was a monk, and the number one monk at Shaolin Temple.

Ye Erniang burst into tears, crying out, "My son, my poor, wretched son! I—I've found my son! I've found my own precious son!"

Everyone looked at Xu Zhu and Ye Erniang with great surprise. They saw the two embracing and weeping, their emotions a mixture of sorrow and joy. One was a sincere expression of filial piety, and the other a deep affection for her child. Among the heroes, many were both happy and wept for them.

But when he saw Xuan Ci standing to the side, he couldn't help but frown.

This should have been a joyous occasion for family reunion, but the family dynamics were startling.

Unexpectedly, Master Xuanci, who usually looks so handsome with thick eyebrows, actually did something just like Prince Duan...

The man in black continued, "Ye Erniang, do you know why I snatched your child?"

It's just because my own biological child was also taken away and raised by someone else, and was taught martial arts by Shaolin monks.

Do you want to see my true face?

Before Ye Erniang could respond, the man in black reached out and pulled away his covering, revealing his true face.

A gasp of surprise rang out from among the crowd.

The crowd saw that he had a square head and large ears, a pair of tiger-like eyes that exuded an imposing aura even without anger, and a full beard. He looked very majestic and was about sixty years old.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng was first surprised, then overjoyed. He rushed forward, knelt down, and cried out:

"You?...Are you my father?"

The man in black laughed loudly and said, "Good child, good child, I am your father, your biological father."

We're father and son, with similar builds and appearances. No one needs to remember me; everyone knows I'm your father.

With a single hand, it ripped open the front of its shirt, instantly revealing a emerald green wolf's head.

With his left hand, he pulled Xiao Feng up again. Xiao Feng also tore open his clothes, revealing the terrifying wolf head on his chest that had puzzled him in his childhood but could prove his identity.

The two walked side by side, blasting horns, which sounded as if they were laughing. Their voices were like a howling wind, carrying far and wide, and shaking the valley.

The thousands of heroes present felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

The "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun" drew their long swords and joined in with loud cheers. Although there were only twenty of them, their imposing presence made the heroes of the Central Plains feel as if they were amidst a vast army.

Then the man in black said, "Hmph, Xuan Ci."

Is it so easy to die? Just commit suicide out of guilt, leaving no one to testify?!

I, Xiao Yuanshan, will not agree to this!

He then patted Qiao Feng on the shoulder and said, "Child, your mother and I were carrying you to visit your maternal grandmother when we were passing by Yanmen Pass. Suddenly, dozens of warriors from the Central Plains appeared and killed your mother and my followers."

Although I killed more than a dozen of them on the spot, it would have been just a matter of a moment if I had killed them all.

But then I suddenly remembered that your mother and you were both dead, and I had no will to live anymore. So I made a vow to die so that I could be with you and not let you be bullied in the afterlife.

But I didn't expect you to suddenly speak up. It turned out you had fainted before. I couldn't bear to see you die, so I threw you up there, but I was helpless.

But fate was kind to me; a large pine tree actually supported me.

"If Heaven doesn't want me to die, then it will let them die."

Xiao Yuanshan stared at the Shaolin monks, his face filled with a terrifying expression:

"Hahahaha! After I came up here, I felt that this was a conspiracy and began to investigate."

Back then, your father had no intention of seizing the Shaolin Temple's martial arts secrets, but they wronged me.

Then I, Xiao Yuanshan, will go all the way.

If you're trying to frame me, I'll show you what I'm capable of.

For nearly thirty years, Xiao Yuanshan had been hiding in the Shaolin Temple, memorizing all their martial arts manuals, and even learning several of the Seventy-Two Arts.

You lewd monks of Shaolin Temple, either kill me, Xiao Yuanshan, or watch as Shaolin martial arts flow into the Liao Dynasty!

It's too late to set up an ambush outside Yanmen Pass!

Hahahahahaha!!!
