Chapter 570 Return to Gusu

A few days later, Wang Yuyan returned to Gusu.

She did not go home directly, but came to Yanziwu instead, to pay tribute to Murong Fu, and told him and everyone else in the village the news that Murong Fu had avenged himself.

The scenery in Yanziwu is bleak.

The former glorious scenery of the Xiangzhou waterside pavilions is now gone, replaced by buildings filled with loneliness and desolation, like old and dying people and withered trees.

“I didn’t expect that in just half a year, this place would become like this…”

Wang Yuyan was secretly surprised, and used her inner strength to drive the boat forward all the way, crossing the lake covered with water plants and green algae, and finally arrived at Chanhe Village deep in Yanziwu.

He left the boat and went ashore, knocking on the door to visit.

After a while, the door opened and a familiar figure walked out from behind the door. He looked at Wang Yuyan who had suddenly come to visit with a look of surprise.

"Miss cousin?!"

"Long time no see, Brother Deng."

Deng Baichuan, a retainer of the Murong family, still loyally served the Murong family after having one of his arms cut off and retired from society. He is now the chief steward of the Murong family.

After entering the manor, Deng Baichuan couldn't wait to ask about Wang Yuyan's recent situation.

"Miss cousin, where have you been for the past six months?"

"Abi sneaked to Mantuo Villa to look for you several times, but every time she went there, the answer was 'You haven't returned home yet'. I heard from my aunt that you followed that kid named Lu into the underworld half a year ago, and you haven't been back since then?"

Deng Baichuan really wanted to ask Wang Yuyan if she had anything going on with that boy named Lu, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

After all, with his status, he had no qualifications or position to question, not to mention that his own master was already dead, and it was the cousin's freedom to be with whomever she wanted.

Wang Yuyan had a great understanding of martial arts, but she was still very immature in the ways of the world. She could not see the difference in Deng Baichuan's expression, and just answered truthfully: "These days, I have been with my grandmother, learning from her and practicing martial arts hard."

"Ah... So that's what happened."

Deng Baichuan realized that he had misunderstood and smiled awkwardly, "My cousin never liked to practice martial arts before, but has she changed her temper now?"

"It's just because I figured it out. The world is dangerous. Even if you do nothing, trouble will come to you. It's just a matter of time."

"The only way to deal with it is to constantly improve yourself and strive to become stronger, so that you won't be bullied by others."

Deng Baichuan sighed: "This principle is too simple, but few people in the martial arts world understand it. Even if they understand it, they can't find a good way to become stronger."

Wang Yuyan agreed: "Fortunately, my path is still broad."

After hearing this, Deng Baichuan realized that something was wrong with Wang Yuyan - her footsteps were light, her breath was long, her eyes were sharp, and her hands were hidden, ready to attack and defend at any time.

This is clearly the state that only martial artists, and martial artists at a very high level, can achieve.

Thinking of Wang Yuyan's answer just now, Deng Baichuan quickly locked on the clue: "My cousin's grandmother is..."

"She is from the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Xiaoyao Sect?! No wonder..."

Deng Baichuan's ancestors had been retainers of the Murong family. In his early years, he followed Murong Fu on a journey through the martial arts world, so he naturally had heard something or other about the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Even if we don't know much about the specifics, it doesn't prevent us from understanding how powerful it is.

"I didn't expect that you, my cousin, have this kind of relationship. This is good..."

"By the way, I wonder why you came here this time?"

Wang Yuyan stopped and formally stated her purpose: "First, I am here to pay tribute to my cousin, and second, to tell you that my cousin's revenge has been avenged."

What?! Deng Baichuan paused, looking at Wang Yuyan in astonishment: "Cousin, is it you who took revenge?"

Even if the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect are very powerful, it only takes half a year for a young lady who is weak and helpless to become a fierce warrior who can beat Liangshan and kick Chai Mansion. Isn't this too outrageous?
"It's not me, but someone else. The details are as follows..."

Wang Yuyan shook her head and recounted her experiences over the past few days in detail: "...Let's not talk about the situation of the Chai family, but for the bodies on Liangshan Mountain, I am very sure that the murderer has learned the martial art of 'Sanhe Finger'."

"I wonder if Brother Deng has any idea about this matter?"

"This... the Sanhe Finger has always been a secret of the Murong family. As far as I can remember, only the old master and the young master have learned it, and there is no third person."

"Cousin, could it be that you are seeing things wrong?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head: "You know my eyesight, it shouldn't be possible. When my cousin's body was buried, we watched, but my uncle..."

"Miss cousin, do you suspect that the old master faked his death?"

"There are many people in the martial arts world who fake their deaths. Apart from this, I really can't think of any other reasonable explanation."

"If that's the case, then why did the old master do this?"

Wang Yuyan thought about it and guessed, "From my perspective... most likely, he is hiding in the dark and accumulating strength in order to restore his country."

"Judging from the situation in Liangshan, he should have already possessed a certain amount of military power, and may even have formed an alliance with a certain force in the martial arts world or the imperial court."

"Otherwise, relying on just one person, there is no way that I can wipe out the tens of thousands of bandits in Liangshan."

"Ah, if that's true, then the young master is really unlucky. If he could wait until now..."

The two discussed the matter, but in the end, the information they had was limited, so they could only guess and could not come to an accurate conclusion.

After paying respects at Murong Fu's grave, Wang Yuyan suddenly asked, "By the way, where's A-Bi?"

"I haven't seen her for more than half a year. I still miss her."

Since Wang Yuyan took over the Xiaoyao Sect, she asked Su Xinghe to recruit eight disciples back into the sect, and then she assigned the entire Deaf and Mute Sect to the Xiaoyao Sect, making it an affiliated gang.

In other words, as Kang Guangling's disciple, A-Bi has to call her the headmaster.

As the topic changed, the solemn expression on Deng Baichuan's face gradually faded.

No matter whether Murong Bo faked his death or not, or whether he is gathering troops to restore his country now, it has nothing to do with a useless man like him. Instead of worrying about trivial things, he might as well think about what to eat tonight.

"Cousin, you came back at the right time."

"A few days ago, Ah Zhu came back, so the old lady gave Ah Bi a few days off. The two of them should be in Qinyun Cottage now. If you go there to look for her now, you will definitely be able to see them both."

Wang Yuyan was stunned: "Azhu...did she only come back today?"

When I met Ah Zhu at the foot of Mount Shaoshi that day, I had already brought her the news of Murong Fu's death. Could it be that she had not come back once in the past six months?
That's a bit too ruthless...

"Of course not!"

Deng Baichuan knew that Wang Yuyan had misunderstood, so he shook his head and smiled, "She came back once after she received the news of the young master's death, and stayed here for more than half a month."

"She was accompanied by Xiao Feng at the time. The old lady saw that the two of them were in love, so she did not force her to stay. She returned her indenture and allowed her to decide whether to stay or go."

"Hehe... She has changed a lot now. If you see her, you will be shocked."

Seeing that Deng Baichuan was deliberately keeping the secret, Wang Yuyan smiled suddenly and felt much better.

Then she thought that Ah Zhu and she were half-sisters, and she couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the world.

"Azhu...can be considered to have found a good home."
