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

"Senior Xiao, you flatter me too much. I truly did not know that my father, Murong Bo, was actually a madman. However, since it was my Murong family that made this mistake, I also have a responsibility to find out about it. Senior, shall we go to Shaolin Temple to kill Abbot Xuanci?"

"With the three of us, dealing with those bald monks from Shaolin Temple shouldn't be too difficult, but killing Xuanci like this is too easy on him. I want him to be utterly disgraced among all the martial arts practitioners in the world!"

Cao Cao finally understood why Xiao Yuanshan had been hiding in Shaolin Temple for so many years and was able to freely enter and leave the heavily guarded Sutra Repository.

He didn't ambush and kill the leader, Xuan Ci, even under these circumstances; it turns out he was waiting for the right opportunity!

After all, the cost of making a move at Shaolin Temple would be very high. For Xiao Yuanshan, who was dedicated to learning Shaolin's unparalleled martial arts, acquiring martial arts knowledge was still very important.

Once he made a move, he would lose the chance to "read the book," and even if the sneak attack succeeded, given the Shaolin Temple's resources, it would be virtually impossible for Xiao Yuanshan to escape unscathed.

Every time Xiao Yuanshan went to the Sutra Repository, he felt that someone was watching him. What was chilling was that it wasn't just one person, but three or four!

So many eyes saw right through Xiao Yuanshan, but the Shaolin monks who swept the floor, carried water, and grew vegetables simply didn't want to pay any attention to them.

He would only occasionally put out basic Buddhist scriptures when cleaning the scripture pavilion, reminding Xiao Yuanshan and other lay Buddhists who came to peek at martial arts manuals to also take some time to read the Buddhist scriptures.

Unexpectedly, these greedy people don't practice Buddhism at all!

As time went by, the malevolent energy generated by these unparalleled martial arts techniques was not resolved. It remained deep within their bodies, penetrating to their very bones. It was only a matter of time before they went mad from their cultivation, and there was no need for these eminent monks to intervene.

Xiao Yuanshan had also sensed this, so he did not dare to make a move inside the Shaolin Temple.

Now that he has reunited with Xiao Feng and his son, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly felt it was time for revenge.

Even if there are many martial arts masters in Shaolin Temple, if the father and son join forces, they can still tear a huge hole in the sky!

Now that Murong Fu has joined the fray, Xiao Yuanshan is still quite confident.

The reason they didn't immediately storm Shaolin Temple was because they knew it wasn't the right time. To ruin Xuanci's reputation, they needed a specific opportunity!

Cao Cao had no idea that the mysterious madman was actually Murong Bo. Fortunately, news of Murong Bo's death had already spread throughout the martial arts world.

Xiao Yuanshan and the others also believed that Murong Bo had died long ago. Since Murong Fu was unaware of this matter and was trying his best to help the Xiao family father and son take revenge, he could be considered to have distanced himself from the matter.

So at this time, not only did Xiao Feng regard Murong Fu as a close friend, but Xiao Yuanshan also gradually came to accept Murong Fu.

Although the madman was Murong Bo, who was the instigator, Murong Fu was still an infant at that time, so he had nothing to do with this matter.

Therefore, this grudge cannot be attributed to him; it can only be said that a life for a life, and Murong Bo's early death can be considered retribution.

"If the Xiao family father and son knew that Murong Bo was not dead, there would probably still be a struggle. I hope this cheapskate father doesn't cause any more trouble and I'll have to clean up the mess!"

Cao Cao thought that since Murong Bo had chosen to fake his death, he should carry it out firmly and make sure he didn't reappear!

After being persuaded by Cao Cao and Xiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan stopped killing innocent people indiscriminately.

It was precisely because they did not kill the Qiao couple at this time that the relationship between Xiao father and son was stabilized, leaving no thorn in their hearts.

This also created an opportunity for Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng to establish a genuine father-son relationship. Otherwise, if Xiao Yuanshan had killed Xiao Feng's adoptive parents, most people would have turned against him long ago.

However, given Xiao Feng's personality, he wouldn't be determined to fight Xiao Yuanshan to the death.

Regardless, this knot in their hearts remained, and the tragedy that befell the father and son was predictable. Now, with Cao Cao's mediation, things became much simpler.

"Father, where are we going now?"

"You and Young Master Murong stay at Shaoshi Mountain and wait for the right opportunity. I'm going to settle all these scores!"

Xiao Yuanshan's words were filled with boundless killing intent. He would not let go of anyone involved in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, and Xuan Ci, as the leader, would be left to the end!

After Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, he left under the cover of darkness. Xiao Feng originally wanted to chase after him to ask for more details, but Cao Cao stopped him and said, "Brother Xiao, the most urgent thing now is to find a place for the Qiao couple to stay so that they can live a happy old age. I think Senior Xiao is looking for revenge against Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun and others. They are lucky to have lived for so many years, so there is no need to pity them."

"Can't my adoptive parents just go back to living in their old place?"

"Brother Xiao, let's not even talk about whether Senior Xiao might go back on his word. Even if he keeps his promise and doesn't kill your adoptive parents, you still have quite a few enemies in the Central Plains martial arts world, especially within the Shaolin Temple area. The Shaolin Temple's methods are not weak. If Qiao San Kui and his wife were still here, they would inevitably be coerced."

"So, Brother Murong, where do you mean for my adoptive parents to go?"

"I've gone into hiding under an assumed name in Suzhou, south of the Yangtze River!"

Jiangnan was the territory of the Murong clan, and with Cao Cao's efforts over the years, they had ventured into many areas.

He followed the template of rebellion in chaotic times, rather than simply shouting slogans to restore the country.

Therefore, Cao Cao was able to provide good protection for Qiao San Kui and his wife in the Jiangnan region. However, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan have not yet established any power in the Liao Kingdom, so going to the north is definitely not an option.

Moreover, as Han Chinese, Qiao San Kui and his wife hoped to live within Han Chinese territory, where they would be more adapted to the food and weather.

The North is a harsh and cold place, and Xiao Feng did not want his adoptive parents to wander the North with him, constantly being pursued and intercepted by various forces.

"Thank you very much, Brother Murong. I'll trouble you to make the arrangements."

Three days later, Cao Cao ordered his intelligence agents in Luoyang to take Qiao San Kui and his wife south. The Luoyang intelligence agents traveled between the north and south in the form of merchants.

Besides making money, another purpose was to gather intelligence from various places, so taking Qiao San Kui and his wife south was also a side thing.

With the matter of Qiao San Kui and his wife resolved, Xiao Feng finally felt relieved. Because of Cao Cao, Xiao Yuanshan did not kill Qiao San Kui, and his mentor Xuan Ku also did not die.

Therefore, apart from knowing that Xiao Feng was a Khitan and that he left the Beggars' Sect, there seemed to be no other negative news about him in the martial arts world, so the dirty water couldn't be thrown at him.

While settling the matter of where Qiao San Kui and his wife went, Cao Cao also did something else: he made arrangements for Kang Min!

"My lord, I thought you were like other men, but I never expected you to send me to Suzhou?"

"There's no place for you in the North, Minmin. I can still give you a proper status in the South. Would you be willing to go back with my caravan?"

"Isn't my lord going back?"

"The matter of the Xiao family father and son has not yet been resolved, so I cannot return for the time being. Minmin, don't worry, I will definitely give you a title and make you my imperial concubine!"
