Chapter 42: The Herbalist is Charming (Thirty-Nine)

I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, but it doesn’t feel like the days when I was young.

Murong Xing: "I still remember last year, when I left Murong Villa, I was full of youthful ambition and always thought I could venture into the martial arts world on my own and become a famous heroine."

Murong Xing: "But everything won't go as I wish!"

Murong Xing sat on the roof, holding his head with both hands, looking into the distance with melancholy.

Leng Yu: "Xing'er, it's late at night and the dew is heavy, what are you doing on the eaves?"

Murong Xing: "Leng Yu, what have I accomplished in the past six months?"

Murong Xing: "I want to avenge Brother Meng, but I don't even know who my enemy is, and I've been kidnapped!"

Leng Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her mention Meng Yi, but he didn't show it. There was no need for him to argue with her over a dead man.

Murong Xing: "I witnessed the murder of the Emeishan elder, but because I was the only one present, I didn't dare to speak out, fearing they would suspect me of the murder."

Murong Xing: "Even the abbot of Shaolin Temple is me..."

Leng Yu hugged Murong Xing and comforted her softly.

Leng Yu: "These things have nothing to do with you."

Leng Yu: "The Emei nuns are very self-righteous. They are very picky when it comes to marrying their disciples. They are not very friendly to ordinary Jianghu people who want to marry Emei people. They think they are toads wanting to eat swan meat and don't think about their own worth."

Leng Yu: "Ever since the previous leader of the Emei Sect died unexpectedly, the new leader has taken office, and the spirit of the Emei Sect has changed drastically. The spirit of their ancestors who swore to fight the enemy to the death has long been lost. This generation of Emei disciples does not want to study hard and practice diligently to restore the former glory of Emei. Instead, they are busy scheming and thinking of taking shortcuts and relying on marriage to become the most powerful sect in the martial arts world."

Leng Yu: "They are unreasonable and unforgiving. They must have offended someone to bring about their own death."

Murong Xing: "But... now everyone in the martial arts world is saying they're missing, but no one knows they're no longer alive."

Leng Yu: "Don't think too much. We are just bystanders, there is no need to intervene."

Murong Xing: "Even if we don't mention the Emei Sect, the abbot's death is related to me."

Leng Yu: "It has nothing to do with you!"

Leng Yu: "The abbot of Shaolin Temple is a martial arts hero with a high reputation. Meng Chang must want to continue to be the leader and is eliminating dissidents."

Leng Yu: "Meng Chang was behind everything that happened during this period. Perhaps Meng Yi just died accidentally."

Murong Xing: "How is that possible? Brother Meng is a martial arts master, ordinary people can't harm him, he must have been killed by someone!"

Leng Yu: "If he was murdered, who was the murderer?"

Murong Xing: "Murderer? Is the murderer from Yidaomen?"

Leng Yu: "Maybe. Maybe not."

Murong Xing: "What do you mean?"

Leng Yu: "Xing'er, you underestimate the influence of power."

Leng Yu: "Meng Yi's death could have been caused by the Yidao Sect. Just like the rumors, Meng Yi caught the Yidao Sect leader having an affair with his sister-in-law, so he was hunted down and killed. Of course, rumors are just rumors, and there are more than five versions of these rumors. But even if Meng Yi was not killed by the Yidao Sect, Meng Chang could still take the opportunity to destroy them."

Murong Xing: "Uncle Meng is very clear about gratitude and resentment. He will not take human life lightly!"

Murong Xing: "He and my father are brothers of the opposite sex. My father always praises Uncle Meng highly, saying that he is worthy of being the leader of the martial arts world. My godfather also said that the martial arts world cannot do without Uncle Meng. He is a chivalrous and courageous man!"

Leng Yu scoffed. These people actually thought that old man Meng Chang was very important. He was popular and it was indeed difficult to move him, but it would be soon! The world of martial arts remained the same no matter who left it!

Leng Yu: "Xing'er, you can only know a person's face but not his heart! Meng Chang may have some brotherly feelings towards your father, but he wouldn't do that to anyone else."

Leng Yu: "Let's talk about the abbot of Shaolin Temple."

When Leng Yu mentioned the abbot, his eyes flashed and his voice was normal.

Murong Xing: "Abbot...I'm the one who harmed the abbot, wuwuwuwu..."

Murong Xing: "I didn't expect that cup of tea was poisonous! I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't mean to do that!"

Leng Yu: "I know, I know, my Xing'er is kind and lovely, how could she hurt others?"

Leng Yu: "You just happened to be there."

Murong Xing's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't stop crying.

Murong Xing: "I just remembered that the abbot gave me a hundred-day gift when I was young and personally consecrated my jade pendant, so I passed by Shaolin Temple and wanted to visit him."

Leng Yu: "Yeah, I heard you talk about the abbot. He was a highly accomplished monk who could ascend to paradise after his death. Xing'er, don't be sad or feel guilty. It was just an accident."

Leng Yu: "The person the abbot was originally going to meet was Meng Chang. The tea was prepared in advance."

Leng Yu: "The abbot didn't expect the tea to be poisonous."

Murong Xing: "Wuwuwuwu..."

Murong Xing: "Before the abbot died, he told me to leave quickly so that others wouldn't misunderstand that I killed him."

Murong Xing: "He said the thieves must have wanted to poison him and Uncle Meng."

Murong Xing: "Leng Yu, do you think I should tell my uncle about this and ask him to be careful?"

Even if she convinced herself that these things had nothing to do with her, Leng Yu also comforted her that these things had nothing to do with her, and she just happened to be unlucky. But she still had some lingering fear in her heart, always feeling that she was involved in the matter, and if she didn't take action, something worse would happen!

She still remembered that she and Leng Yu had been guests at Longmen Bank for three days, and the robbery happened the day after they left. What a coincidence! She only admitted that she was a fairy, but she didn't admit that she was a jinx, possessed by bad luck!
