Chapter 36: The Thief Who Loves Steamed Buns

  The old beggar finished speaking and didn't care about the unpleasant expressions of several Taoists, turned around and walked to one side to watch from the sidelines. It wasn't until then that Lu Wushuang had a chance to look at Chen Yunfeng and ask:

  "This young hero, I don't know why you're willing to help me."

  Lu Wushuang was captured by Li Mochou for four or five years. Although she wasn't mistreated, being under the tutelage of her family's sworn enemy made these years a period of hidden bitterness and secret planning. This time, after stealing Li Mochou's "Five Poisons Manual" and escaping, what she feared most was being caught again.

  Chen Yunfeng surprisingly helped her with a good heart, and she still had some gratitude in her heart, but she was still very cautious on the road, fleeing from Li Mochou.

  Chen Yunfeng smiled and said:

  "Let's talk about it later. These several cow noses like to speak nonsense and still think that the current Wang Chongyang is still around, they are still the best in the world."

  "You dare to be so arrogant, my family's ancestor is also someone you can discuss." Shen Zhi Fan had already been annoyed by Chen Yun Feng's appearance in his heart, and after hearing Chen Yun Feng look down on the Quanzhen Sect, he loudly shouted.

  Shen Zhifan drew his long sword from its scabbard, and with a flash of light, it darted back and forth before stabbing towards Chen Yunfeng. Chen Yunfeng had also practiced the Quanzhen Sword Technique, and he had studied the ancient tomb beauty's sword technique that was specifically designed to counter the Quanzhen Sword Technique. Shen Zhifan was just a mediocre third-generation Taoist priest. Chen Yunfeng shifted his body to one side, raised his hand, and curled his fingers, waiting for Shen Zhifan's Shendong acupoint to come crashing into him.

  He borrowed this move from the ancient tomb swordsmanship, adding the body method and hand method of the Nine Yin Scripture. Originally, he had already reached the peak of a top-notch master. With this sudden change in movement, it was incredibly swift. A group of people only saw Chen Yunfeng's body flash by, and Shen Zhifan's long sword had already fallen to the ground.

  "The little one has a wicked spell!" Shēn Zhìfán's body jerked backward in terror as he loudly exclaimed.

  Two little Taoist priests on the side quickly drew their swords to help, but when they pulled out their hands, there were only broken steel swords. Chen Yunfeng knew that this was Yang Guo's doing, but he pretended to smile and said:

  "How did Quanzhen Sect become so pathetic now? The fourth generation disciples are already using half a steel sword, what if it's the fifth generation disciple, can they only use the hilt?"

  Chen Yunfeng knew what was going on, but the people present didn't know about all this. They still hadn't figured out his ghostly movements and how he had knocked down Shen Zhifan's long sword earlier. The two little Taoists and Shen Zhifan saw Chen Yunfeng being so formidable, their faces changed color and they turned around to flee in a hurry.

  "Hmm... this Wang Chongyang wants to know so much, these disciples are such trash, I don't know if even ghosts would want to be his followers." Chen Yunfeng thought to himself as he watched the three Taoist priests escape.

  Pi and Ji were still not well-known martial artists, and even Shen Zhi Fan was only a third-rate martial artist. The reputation of the Quanzhen Sect wasn't that impressive either. According to reasoning, people like Qiu Chuji were at best first-rate experts, but possibly not as good as Chen Yunfeng. Bullying such people didn't bother Chen Yunfeng much.

  "A group of cowards, can't win so they run." Lu Wushuang said coldly, sheathing the twin blades in her hands.

  She didn't see Chen Yunfeng's move clearly, but she was still happy to have solved the trouble. The two beggars who were watching from the side slightly nodded towards Chen Yunfeng and then ran out of the valley.

  On the mountain slope, Yang Guo, who was intercepted by Chen Yunfeng, was still wailing loudly. He also didn't notice Chen Yunfeng's move just now. Seeing that Lu Wushuang wasn't Little Dragon Girl, his heart was still aching terribly at this moment.

  Chen Yunfeng nodded and said to Lu Wushuang:

  "The girl's matter has been settled, and I must also leave now. Hopefully we can meet again."

  Lu Wushuang was taken aback, Chen Yunfeng hadn't even said why he wanted to help her, yet he was already preparing to leave. Seeing Chen Yunfeng striding towards the mountain valley entrance, she also hastily rode her donkey to follow him.

  "The cattle thief is right there... catch him quickly..."

  A loud noise came from outside the valley, Chen Yunfeng stopped in his tracks and walked to the side of the road, Lu Wushuang also hastily stopped beside him. A group of villagers carrying hoes and shoulder poles rushed into the valley, charging towards Yang Guo, who was wailing on the mountain slope.

  Yang Guo, who was crying out loud, looked up and saw that the villagers were rushing towards him with anger on their faces. Originally, he wasn't afraid of these mountain people, and as a first-rate master, although his internal energy was insufficient, he could still easily defeat this group of villagers.

  However, Chen Yunfeng at the foot of the mountain was smiling and looking at him, and Lu Wushuang's expression was even more astonished, which made Yang Guo's face hot, and he threw down the cow and turned around to rush into the valley.

  "That cowherd is actually a cattle thief, what a big nerve he has! He's still crying out loud here, people who don't know the truth would think that he lost his cows. But with such impressive lightness skills, why does he still steal cows?" Lu Wushuang said with her mouth slightly open, looking at Yang Guo in astonishment.

  "He didn't lose the cow, but he lost a small steamed bun, haha...... Don't mind him, he's just a little thief. Miss, you should leave here, the Quanzhen Sect is not far from here, who knows if those guys will go find help again." Chen Yunfeng said with a smile.

  "Was losing a small steamed bun worth crying for half a day?" Lu Wushuang said in even greater surprise.

  "Because his steamed buns are one-of-a-kind, he likes it that way, nobody can intervene, let's leave here anyway. I'm preparing to head south to Xiangyang, we'll part ways at the next town." Chen Yun said calmly.

  This person's taste is quite different. Yang Guo's initial feelings for Little Dragon Girl were not love, but a kind of respect and sibling affection, which gradually changed into romantic feelings over time. In Yang Guo's heart, Little Dragon Girl was both his teacher and sister. It wasn't that Little Dragon Girl had a simple and direct pursuit, perhaps Yang Guo never thought about eating Xiaolongbao.

  Jin Dada's words didn't explain the road that Lu Wushuang would take next, but first cut off the scene where Yang Guo and she met. At least Chen Yunfeng felt he had done enough. When he came to this world at first, apart from wanting to become a top expert, he also wanted to rescue all the female supporting characters who were provoked by Yang Guo;

  After two or three years of hard work, Chen Yunfeng suddenly realized that even if he wanted to save the female partners, it was not necessary for everything to follow others' arrangements. As long as he encountered them, he would take action when possible, and there was no need to intervene intentionally when impossible.

  This time he came to Zhongnan Mountain to save Little Dragon Girl from being kissed by the wolf, but his main purpose was still to understand the situation of the Toad Skill and the Nine Yin True Classic. Helping Lu Wushuang here was also a matter of convenience. He even informed the farmer whose cow had been stolen early in the morning that their cow had been taken to Jiaolong Valley, otherwise there would not have been the final scene where the common people caught the cow thief.

  According to Chen Yunfeng's original plan, he was supposed to spend some time with Lu Wushuang, but now he has become much more indifferent. As the female lead of Shen Diao, Lu Wushuang had been mistreated for years and her skin was not fair, but her facial features were still very distinctive. The only regret was that one leg was broken and reset incorrectly, making her walk unevenly with one leg higher than the other.
