The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 378 I May Still Be Saved

Meeting Wuyazi was easier than expected. Compared with Su Xinghe's caution, Wuyazi was more generous, or more intelligent and perceptive. He seemed to have guessed that Su Xinghe could not stop Murong Fu. Since Su Xinghe was following the rules, why should he turn him away? If he turned against Murong Fu, it would be a bad ending.

What's more, Murong Fu admitted that he was Wang Yuyan's grandfather, and this identity could not be false. Moreover, he was indeed sorry for his daughter Li Qingluo. However, most people in the Xiaoyao Sect had strange personalities. Li Qingluo was not only ignored by her father Wuyazi, but also abandoned by her mother Li Qiushui. Otherwise, she would not have died so tragically in the original work.

In terms of her background, she should have been high and mighty, but because of her father and mother's bigotry, she was forced to become second-rate and eventually died at the hands of Murong Fu.

Compared with the original novel, the current Mrs. Wang Li Qingluo is much stronger. She is very different in martial arts, status, personality and family background. Not only does she have a beautiful daughter and a powerful son-in-law, but she also has a handsome husband who loves her, a smart and lovely son, and she has fine clothes and food and everyone obeys her call. At this point, what else is there for her to be dissatisfied with?

As for her former lover Duan Zhengchun, the impression he left on her was already very weak. Not only had he been completely replaced by her husband Wang Erlang, but she had also handed her lover's illegitimate daughters to her son-in-law one by one. Thinking of Duan Zhengchun's reaction after he knew the truth in the future, Li Qingluo felt refreshed.

After Ah Zhu recovered all her memories, she understood the plot clearly. Naturally, she knew that she and Ah Zi were sisters, and she also knew where her mother Ruan Xingzhu was living in seclusion, but she had no intention of recognizing her relatives.

Firstly, they were strangers to their father and mother and had no feelings for them at all. Their home was the Murong family and their relatives were only the people around them. Secondly, if they really recognized each other as relatives, things would be very awkward. Not only would Duan Zhengchun be awkward, but Murong Fu would also be awkward, which would have a great impact on his acceptance of little Zhong Ling.

Thirdly, the identities of Ah Zhu and Ah Zi would become awkward. Wang Yuyan was the legal wife, and if Xiao Zhong Ling married into the Murong family, she would be treated as a co-wife. However, Ah Zhu and Ah Zi were only concubines. Even if Murong Fu loved Ah Zhu secretly, he could not promote her to a co-wife for no reason. Some rules could not be easily broken.

Ah Zhu knew the truth about this world and that they would not be able to stay here for long, so she was not picky about her status. However, once she had a family, how could her family tolerate them being concubines? She was afraid that it would cause endless trouble.

Wuyazi asked Su Xinghe to invite Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan into the house. Both of them were accomplished martial artists and were by no means comparable to the mediocre little monk Xuzhu in the original novel. There was no need for Murong Fu to take action. Wang Yuyan smashed the wooden board in mid-air with a wave of her sleeve, and prevented the wood chips from flying everywhere. Her kung fu skills should not be underestimated.

"You, girl, are Qingluo's daughter. You really look like your grandmother. Really, really like her." Wuyazi used the word "like" three times, but there was some nostalgia in his eyes. He saw that his body was suspended in the air by a black rope, his beard was three feet long, without a single gray hair, his face was as white as jade, without a single wrinkle, he was obviously not young anymore, but he was still energetic and elegant.

Wang Yuyan bowed to Wuyazi and stood up, saying, "Yuyan was born in Mantuo Villa and raised in Taihu Lake. Surrounded by her parents, she has never seen her grandmother's face. In appearance, she resembles her mother exactly, and no one can deny that."

Wuyazi asked about the specific situation of the mother and daughter. When he learned that Li Qingluo had a son, he was even more pleased. Then he heard that she was practicing Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Lingbo Weibu, and the look of nostalgia in his eyes became even stronger.

After a conversation between the grandfather and grandson, although their relationship did not develop rapidly, they were no longer strangers. Wang Yuyan also recognized her grandfather and asked about his injuries.

Wuyazi thought that he was already a useless man. He was almost killed when he was ambushed by Ding Chunqiu and fell off a cliff. If Su Xinghe had not rescued him, his body would have rotted away. Even so, he would have become a useless man with most of his lower body unconscious. You must know that the Xiaoyao Sect is knowledgeable and skilled in medicine. Su Xinghe's skills are even better than the Eight Friends of Hangu. He can't even cure himself, let alone others.

"Grandpa, have you heard the legend of the One Yang Finger? A first-grade One Yang Finger can bring the dead back to life. Although Grandpa is seriously injured, if he can get the help of a first-grade One Yang Finger, there is a chance of recovery." Wang Yuyan tried to persuade him kindly. Wuyazi laughed heartily and said, "Don't trust rumors in the martial arts world. A top-grade One Yang Finger can heal wounds. Even minor injuries can be cured with the help of a fourth-grade or higher One Yang Finger. Grandpa's injuries are serious, and he has been delayed for over twenty years. An ordinary third- or fourth-grade One Yang Finger is powerless, unless he can get the help of the legendary first-grade One Yang Finger."

"And the first-grade One Yang Finger is so difficult to master. Even Master Kurong, the number one master in Tianlong Temple, may not be able to achieve it. Even if he really has such a level of cultivation, he may not be willing to heal grandpa. You must know that healing with One Yang Finger is not like fighting against an enemy. It consumes a lot of energy. If you are not careful, it will damage the foundation of your vitality. At best, you will have to be an ordinary person with insufficient internal strength for a period of time." Wuyazi had some understanding of this, otherwise he would not have wasted so many years.

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if Master Ku Rong has such a level of cultivation, but I do know that another person has pushed the One Yang Finger to the first level."

"Oh, could it be that the Duan family of Dali has another master who is better than the old monk Ku Rong?" Wuyazi was shocked when he heard this.

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "This person is not a member of the Dali Duan clan. If you think about it in a roundabout way, he is somewhat related to the Dali royal family, but he is not from Dali. And this person is right in front of us."

Wuyazi glanced at Wang Yuyan, then at Murong Fu, and suddenly found that he could not see through this boy's depth. This made him even more curious. You know, although Murong Fu is on par with Qiao Feng, and is one of the best young masters in the Central Plains martial arts world, he has never been taken seriously by Wuyazi. Now Wang Yuyan told him that Murong Fu might be possessing the first-grade One Yang Finger. How could he not be surprised.

Murong Fu smiled slightly, without arguing, he just raised his hand and pointed, punching a hole in the wooden door a few feet away, but without any sound.

Wuyazi collected martial arts from all over the world, and he had never obtained the Dali Duan family's One Yang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword, but he had seen this kung fu before, so he naturally recognized at a glance that this was the One Yang Finger and not the Murong family's Sanhe Finger.

"How strange, how strange! It is indeed a first-grade One Yang Finger, but its power is even stronger than the ordinary first-grade One Yang Finger. Boy, what kind of internal energy are you practicing? The internal energy of the Duan family of Dali should not be this powerful." Wuyazi looked at Murong Fu with great curiosity. At this moment, he was secretly thinking in his heart, if he took action, would there be any possibility of taking him down.

Probably not even half a cent.

"My learning was quite disparate. I initially built my foundation with the Nine Yang Divine Art, then after achieving mastery, I switched to the Small Invisible Form Art and the Tai Chi Divine Art. I also learned the family tradition of the Star Shift and the Western Region Ming Cult's Great Shift of the Universe. The rest of my miscellaneous learning was mostly martial arts techniques, with the aforementioned internal skills being the main focus. Oh, I also learned the Dali Duan Clan's Six Yang Melting Snow Art, One Yang Finger, and Six Meridians Divine Sword, as well as the Beggar Gang's Dragon Subduing Palm. The Shaolin 72 unique skills are too numerous and disorganized, so I only learned the Yi Jin Jing."

Wuyazi heard him list out a lot of martial arts names. Except for the "Nine Yang Magic Art" and "Tai Chi Magic Art", he had never heard of the other ones. All of them were well-known, especially the "Yi Jin Jing". Even he had never dared to hope that this kid could get it.

Moreover, the Dali Duan family's One Finger of Zen, Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the Beggar Gang's Dragon Subduing Palm were all martial arts that he had been longing for but could not obtain, yet this kid actually had them in his hands. How could he not be shocked?

"I now believe that you can push the One Yang Finger to the first level, but I have never heard of the name of the Nine Yang Divine Art. Could it be a direct descendant of your Murong family?" Wuyazi was quite curious. You know, this is the first internal skill that Murong Fu practiced, and it must have some mysterious aspects.

Murong Fu then explained the general principles and effects of the Nine Yang Divine Art. The more Wuyazi listened, the more shocked he became. When he heard that it combined the effects of the Small Wuxiang Art and the Shaolin Bodhi Heart Sutra, he was completely speechless.

After mastering the skill, his internal energy circulates endlessly, and his internal energy is extremely strong and yang. He then practiced Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Tai Chi magic skills, and achieved the realm of mutual assistance between yin and yang. Even if he had no injuries, he might not be able to defeat him.

This kid is a monster!

"If that's the case, I might still be saved."

"Grandpa, my cousin has quite a reputation in the martial arts world, but he needs martial arts to protect him when he's out in the world. If I use up all my resources to treat him, he'll have to be an ordinary person for a long time. Do you have any way to make up for it?" Wang Yuyan said, "My cousin's whereabouts have always been public, mostly out in the open to avoid being framed or even being unable to stay in one place for long."

Wuyazi looked at Wang Yuyan and laughed dumbly. "You are an outgoing girl. Regardless of whether he can cure Grandpa, I will teach him the 'Northern Sea Divine Art' that Grandpa holds as the best way to gather internal energy. However, if Grandpa has an accident and dies, the rest of his martial arts will be lost. If he does recover, he can take the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Wang Yuyan said with a sweet smile, "Since that's the case, I'll take all the Xiaoyao Sect martial arts on my cousin's behalf."

Wuyazi knew that although she claimed to be taking advantage, she was actually trying to encourage him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa is old and has long since let go of everything. He's just worried about not getting rid of that evil disciple Ding Chunqiu. Other than that, matters of life and death are not important."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "My cousin is a master of martial arts. It wouldn't be difficult for him to eliminate Ding Chunqiu. It's a pity that the Xingxiu Sea is located in the far west, making it difficult to travel there. If he dares to enter the Central Plains, he might become a ghost under my sword, thus destroying my reputation."
