Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

After Lin Pingzhi and Qiao Feng became sworn brothers, they had a very pleasant conversation. However, Qiao Feng was eager to find out Murong Fu's whereabouts, so he took his leave first.

Thinking of Qiao Feng's tragedy, Lin Pingzhi gave him some detailed instructions before parting.

Since the two had only just met and Lin Pingzhi had no evidence, he couldn't say anything openly.

After Qiao Feng left, the group rested for a while before continuing their journey.

Along the way, Lin Daiyu was very curious about the affairs of the martial arts world and asked questions from time to time.

Chief镖头 Cui and the others were also happy to talk to her.

As they traveled north, the number of refugees gradually increased. Seeing these refugees looking pale and emaciated, with helpless eyes, everyone felt distressed.

Lin Daiyu witnessed these tragic scenes for the first time, gaining a deeper understanding of the lines, "Wandering and wandering again, enduring cold and hunger. Who says the world is wide, when one has nowhere to rely on."

"This is why the Beggars' Sect became one of the largest sects in the world."

Lin Pingzhi sighed.

Along the way, they encountered several bandits who harassed them, but Bai Er, Chen Qi, and others dealt with them all.

Under Lin Pingzhi's guidance, these people now possess the strength of a low-ranking disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

On this day, after traveling several miles, they came to an apricot grove.

Faintly, a sound came from the apricot blossom bushes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu knew that something must have happened, and she was eager to find out.

As the saying goes, "Never enter a forest," so when Chief Escort Cui saw this, he quickly reminded him, "Young Chief Escort, this is probably some kind of gang gathering here. We'd better not get involved to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Lin Pingzhi didn't want to get involved and was about to follow Cui the镖头's advice to leave when he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "I'm definitely not going to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect anymore..."

It's Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect!

Everyone had just met Qiao Feng not long ago and had a very deep impression of him.

"Apricot Grove? Qiao Feng?"

A sense of foreboding washed over Lin Pingzhi, and he quickly said, "Everyone, let's go take a look!"

Having said that, he spurred his legs, pulled on the reins, and rode the white horse ahead at breakneck speed.

Upon entering the apricot grove, one is greeted by a densely packed group of beggars.

Qiao Feng stood with his back to him, facing the group of beggars alone.

Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard saying, "What if someone kills one of our brothers?"

Lin Pingzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was dressed in white, slender, and looked delicate and timid.

Lin Pingzhi thought to himself: This person must be Madam Ma; she does bear a striking resemblance to Madam Zhan. Alas, my elder brother, in the end, is just like me, succumbing to a woman's clutches.

Thinking of this, he said loudly:

"If anyone kills a member of the Beggars' Clan, Chief Qiao will certainly not let him off the hook."

When Madam Ma saw someone interrupting, a flash of displeasure crossed her face. She then said pitifully, "Who is this gentleman? This is a private matter of our Beggars' Sect. I hope you will excuse us."

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Feng was overjoyed and turned around, saying:

"Brother, you've arrived!"

The two met at this time and were both filled with emotion.

"Brother Lin!" Suddenly another clear voice rang out.

Lin Pingzhi looked up and saw that it was none other than A'Zhu.

Standing next to A'Zhu were Wang Yuyan, Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, A'Bi, and others, with Duan Yu naturally among them.

However, Duan Yu's gaze remained fixed on Wang Yuyan, ignoring Lin Pingzhi.

"A-Zhu, A-Bi, my little sister!" Lin Pingzhi greeted them happily.

It turns out that ever since A'Zhu learned about her origins from Lin Pingzhi, she had been wanting to find her biological parents. Coincidentally, Wang Yuyan, at Duan Yu's urging, also wanted to find her cousin Murong Fu, so the group decided to travel together.

As they continued their journey, they unexpectedly encountered a disturbance caused by the Beggars' Sect revealing Qiao Feng's true identity and attempting to depose him from his position as the Beggars' Sect leader.

Wang Yuyan and the others had already heard about Lin Pingzhi from A'Zhu, and now they couldn't help but scrutinize him.

He was handsome, even more so than Murong Fu.

When they saw Lin Daiyu standing next to Lin Pingzhi, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Daiyu also saw Wang Yuyan and was equally surprised.

It turns out that the two women looked somewhat alike, except that Daiyu was younger and thinner, making her appear more lively than Wang Yuyan.

Bai Er, Chen Qi, and the others were secretly amazed by this scene.

Duan Yu finally saw Lin Daiyu and was slightly taken aback, but his gaze eventually returned to Wang Yuyan.

"Sister A'Zhu, let me introduce you. This is my sworn brother, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect!" Lin Pingzhi introduced to A'Zhu.

A'Zhu bowed gracefully and said, "A'Zhu greets Chief Qiao."

Lin Pingzhi then introduced Qiao Feng, saying, "Brother Qiao, this is my sworn sister, her name is A'Zhu."

Lin Pingzhi knew deeply about Qiao Feng and A'Zhu's tragedy and always felt regretful about it. This time, he secretly hoped that he would have the opportunity to make up for this regret.

Qiao Feng laughed heartily, "Since she is my sister, Brother Qiao, she is naturally my sister too. Sister A'Zhu, just call me Brother Qiao."

A'Zhu had met Qiao Feng before and admired his heroic spirit greatly. Now, seeing the dignified leader of the Beggars' Sect address her as "sister," she was overjoyed and whispered, "Brother Qiao!"

"Brother, our Beggars' Sect and Qiao Feng have some private matters to attend to, so please excuse us for the time being." At this moment, a voice rang out.

Lin Pingzhi looked at the newcomer, who was a middle-aged beggar.

Knowing that Lin Pingzhi was always resourceful, A'Zhu whispered in his ear, "Brother Lin, this is Quan Guanqing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect's Great Wisdom Branch."

So it was you!

Lin Pingzhi knew that the other party was one of the murderers who framed Qiao Feng, and immediately said loudly:

"Qiao Feng is my sworn brother. His affairs are my affairs. How can I stand idly by?"

Hearing this, Qiao Feng was deeply moved and said, "This is my elder brother's business. My younger brother, you shouldn't get involved, lest you get into trouble."

Quan Guanqing angrily said, "Brother, do you intend to become an enemy of the Beggars' Sect?"

He was furious when he saw Lin Pingzhi enter and greet Qiao Feng and the people from the Murong family, and repeatedly refer to Qiao Feng as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, completely disregarding Madam Ma.

Lin Pingzhi exclaimed in surprise, "My elder brother Qiao Feng is the leader of the Beggars' Sect. How could me getting involved in his affairs be considered making an enemy of the Beggars' Sect?"

Quan Guanqing coldly replied, "Qiao Feng has already left the Beggars' Sect and is no longer its leader."

Lin Pingzhi asked, "Are you the new leader of the Beggars' Sect?"

Quan Guanqing said, "I am the leader of the Zhi Branch, not the new leader."

Lin Pingzhi coldly said, "I see. I thought you were the leader of the Beggars' Sect, able to decide who would be their enemy at will."

"this……"

Even though Quan Guanqing was known as the "Scholar of Ten Directions" and was skilled in scheming, he was speechless at this moment because of Lin Pingzhi's words.

At this moment, another dignified-looking beggar stepped forward and said righteously, "Qiao Feng is suspected of murdering the vice leader of my Beggars' Clan. Helping him is naturally making an enemy of my Beggars' Clan."

"This man is Bai Shijing, the enforcement elder of the Beggars' Sect," A'Zhu continued quietly.

Seeing that Lin Pingzhi had rendered Quan Guanqing speechless and had vented Qiao Feng's anger, she was inexplicably delighted.

Lin Pingzhi glanced at the other person, sighed, and said, "So it's Elder Bai. I have a question."

Bai Shijing frowned slightly and said, "What is it that you don't understand, young man?"

Lin Pingzhi asked, "What is rounder and whiter than the moon in the sky?"

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's previous aggressive demeanor, everyone thought he would ask some important question, but unexpectedly he asked such a seemingly inexplicable question.

Looking up, there was no moon at all, even in broad daylight.

Bai Shijing was taken aback and said, "How would I know?"

Lin Pingzhi smiled faintly: "Elder Bai may not know, but I do know that there is something about Elder Bai that is rounder and whiter than the moon in the sky."

Everyone was confused upon hearing this, and they all tried to guess the meaning behind Lin Pingzhi's words.

Bai Shijing suddenly realized something, his expression changed slightly, and Madam Ma, who was not far from him, also trembled slightly.

Lin Pingzhi continued, "Elder Bai, do you prefer your mooncakes savory or sweet?"

It is just as the poem goes: "Alone, I bring the small round moon from heaven to try the big round mooncake on earth."
