Cao Cao's soul transmigrates into Murong Fu's body

"Brother Murong, could it be that the man in black is using your Murong family's disguise techniques?"

Besides using the enemy's own methods against them, the Murong family was also famous for their disguise skills, and Murong Fu's maid A'Zhu was an expert in this art.

I didn't expect Xiao Feng's intelligence system to be so powerful. It seems that the Beggars' Sect's ability to collect intelligence is not to be underestimated.

"No, he is your biological father!" Cao Cao discovered that the man in black was extremely skilled in martial arts when they fought. People who are good at disguise usually have average martial arts skills and will be exposed when they fight.

The fact that this man in black knew his background and was able to suppress him in battle shows that he has such high martial arts skills. It seems that he is the legendary Xiao Yuanshan.

As for why they would ambush here to kill Qiao San Kui and his wife, Cao Cao guessed that it was just a whim of Xiao Yuanshan.

"Young man from the Murong family, you guessed correctly, I am Xiao Yuanshan, and Xiao Feng is my son!"

Xiao Yuanshan began to show off the wolf head tattoo on his chest, and Xiao Feng, stunned, also tore open his clothes. The two wolf tattoos seemed to howl in the dead of night.

"Father, why are you at Shaoshi Mountain? And are you...?"

"Yes, Feng'er, I have been hiding in Shaolin for thirty years, and I have watched helplessly as you were adopted by Qiao San Kui and his wife. Now you have been expelled from the Beggars' Sect. I am afraid that you will be controlled by Qiao San Kui and his wife, so I want to help you get rid of them!"

Xiao Yuanshan's logic was still somewhat incomprehensible to Xiao Feng, who had always been deeply influenced by Han culture. Furious, Xiao Feng said, "Father, the Qiao couple have shown me immense kindness. As the saying goes, the kindness of raising is greater than the kindness of giving birth. Our adoptive parents have been kind to us, and we should repay them. How can you harm them like this!"

"They were acting under orders! And they're just hypocrites! Feng'er, you need to know that thirty years ago, it was Xuan Ci and his gang who led the martial arts masters of the Central Plains to murder your mother at Yanmen Pass. If I hadn't survived, I would have died long ago. You're recognizing a thief as your father, so not only should Qiao San Kui and his wife die, but Xuan Ci, Zhi Guang, and Zhao Qian Sun should also die!"

"Is the leader really Abbot Xuanci?"

"Your guesses are correct. I've investigated everything over the years, and Abbot Xuanci is neither a virtuous gentleman nor a highly accomplished monk. He's always been a hypocrite, and he even had an illegitimate son outside of marriage. I want him to experience the pain of having a son right beside him but being unable to acknowledge him..."

Hearing these gossips, Cao Cao felt even more that Shaolin Temple was no ordinary place!

Not only in martial arts, but also in matters of the heart, even the abbot has an illegitimate child.

Moreover, it seems that Xiao Yuanshan is quite familiar with the whereabouts of the abbot's son.

Upon learning of this situation, Xiao Feng was extremely angry. Just as his rage surged, he quickly calmed down. Thinking of all the moments he shared with his adoptive parents, Xiao Feng still couldn't bear to kill Qiao San Kui and the others who had been with him.

"Senior Xiao, although I am an outsider and have no right to comment on this matter, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao San Kui are indeed ordinary people. Considering that they gave you a relatively complete childhood, could you please give them a way to survive?"

Although Cao Cao was asking Xiao Yuanshan for his opinion, Qiao and his wife had actually been moved to another place by Xiao Feng long ago.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng and Cao Cao have already formed a pincer attack, and even with Xiao Yuanshan's current skill level, he is having a hard time facing Xiao Feng.

Moreover, with the addition of Murong Fu, who is proficient in all martial arts, Xiao Yuanshan saw that he had no chance to kill Qiao San Kui by force.

"Since Young Master Murong has put it that way, I will give you face, but..."

"I will gladly offer you the Lingbo Weibu technique."

Cao Cao was not particularly attached to martial arts manuals; in his view, martial arts did not fascinate him as much as poetry and songs.

Moreover, Cao Cao has always been very generous, and he would certainly not be stingy if he could use such martial arts manuals to win people's hearts.

"Brother Murong..."

Xiao Feng was deeply moved, not only because Murong Fu persuaded his father, Xiao Yuanshan, to stop making things difficult for his adoptive parents, but also because he took out his martial arts manual.

The loyal Xiao Feng was still very grateful to Murong Fu and wanted to have the opportunity to become sworn brothers with him!

In the world of martial arts, it's common practice for people to become sworn brothers at the drop of a hat!

"Brother Xiao, please don't worry. If Senior Xiao is interested in the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, you can come to my Gusu Yanziwu. My Murong family's Huanshi Water Pavilion is always open to the Xiao family father and son."

"Suzhou is indeed a wonderful place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It's a pity that Murong Bo is dead, otherwise I could have learned a thing or two from him."

"Does Elder Hero Xiao know my father?"

"We're not exactly acquaintances, but we have some connection. I won't hide it from you. After my investigations over the years, those involved in the interception at Yanmen Pass, apart from those I killed on the spot, the rest are either dead or insane. However, everyone is under my surveillance, and the liar who spread false information is Murong Bo, which is common knowledge!"

"Murong Bo? Could it be that Wangren is Murong's father? Then why would Murong Bo harm us, father and son?" Xiao Feng hadn't expected that the leader he had been searching for and Wangren would find out the truth so quickly. But the truth is often painful. Murong Fu, whom he regarded as a brother and close friend, actually had a father who was his mortal enemy.

"They simply knew I was the chief instructor of the Liao Dynasty's Shan Army, commanding the Liao's most elite 20,000 Imperial Guards, and deeply trusted by Empress Dowager Xiao. They wanted the martial arts figures of the Southern Dynasty to kill me, thus inciting conflict between the two countries, so that your Murong family could reap the benefits. Unfortunately, Murong Bo underestimated the political games between nations. My death would not have caused a war between the two countries. Therefore, Murong Bo died of shame and indignation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to take action; Xuan Ci, Wang Jiantong, and others would have already settled accounts with him."

"I see. So Brother Murong shouldn't have gotten involved in our entanglement, right?" Xiao Feng now felt not only grateful to Murong Fu, but also wanted to become sworn brothers with him. Now that this matter has occurred, Xiao Feng is still very worried. It's not that he's worried about not being able to defeat Murong Fu, but rather that it's hard to accept going from friends to enemies.

"From my observation, Murong Fu should be unaware of what his father did in his early years. Murong Fu is far more upright than his father, Murong Bo!"

Xiao Yuanshan's high praise wasn't just because Murong Fu had presented him with the Lingbo Weibu martial arts manual; more importantly, Xiao Yuanshan had witnessed Murong Fu's actions within the Beggars' Clan. Moreover, after Murong Fu's words of comfort and his initial anger subsided, he carefully considered that killing the defenseless Qiao San Kui and his wife seemed to have no effect other than causing trouble for his son Xiao Feng and alienating their father-son relationship.

Moreover, as Murong Fu said, Qiao San Kui and his wife gave Xiao Feng a complete childhood, which is why he was able to become a great hero. Judging from his experience over the past thirty years, Xiao Feng still has a lot of heroic spirit. This is also because he had a complete family. Therefore, after calming down, Xiao Yuanshan felt that he could not make a "one-size-fits-all" decision!
