Chapter 40 of Volume 1: The Donkey Rider is Actually a Flower Thief

  Everyone who practices martial arts has practiced qinggong. Even someone as skilled as Cheng Kun is not weak in qinggong. Suddenly, Cheng Kun sprinted towards the base of a large tree and with a flip of his body, he grabbed onto a branch with his hands. Using the branch to pull himself up, he used his momentum to charge towards the man riding a donkey who was standing at the fork of the tree.

  The donkey rider saw it clearly and thought, "Go ahead, you're not kidding, you really dare to climb the tree!" The donkey rider's eyes turned around, and a wicked idea had already been brewing in his heart. Just as the donkey rider hooked his feet under the branches of the tree, his body hung in mid-air, swinging like a swing. When Cheng Kun rushed towards him, taking advantage of Cheng Kun's inertia, he hadn't yet stood firmly on the big tree for an instant. With one move, "Monkey Grabbing Cabbage", he grabbed Cheng Kun's collar, and with a "ripping" sound, Cheng Kun's upper garment was torn into two pieces. Cheng Kun also lost his footing and fell from that big tree.

  Fortunately, Cheng Kun had rich combat experience and managed to roll forward in time before landing when he fell from the tree again, which saved him from danger. However, the letter that Hongyuan wrote to Feng Rensui, which was tucked in his arms, fell under the big tree.

  The donkey rider made a lucky catch, and secretly congratulated himself. He also floated down from the big tree, his body falling right next to the letter. The donkey rider had sharp eyes, and as soon as he saw the recipient's name on the envelope, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hastily picked up the letter.

  Cheng Kun turned around and saw the donkey rider holding the letter that had fallen to the ground, so he rushed up to grab the letter: "Return my letter!" Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Kun's move "Horizontal Chop of Mount Hua" was already aimed at the donkey rider.

  Why is Cheng Kun so desperate to get the letter back? Because the rebuilding of the Green Snake Gang needs to be done in secret, if the news leaks out and the enemy finds out, it will be impossible for him and Geng Yuan to stop them. So, this letter that Geng Yuan wrote to Feng Renshui must be related to the rebuilding of the Green Snake Gang or Geng Yuan's origins. The fewer people who know about these two things, the better.

  Cheng Kun rushed towards the donkey rider like a madman, determined to retrieve that letter.

  The donkey rider, on the other hand, calmed down and made a move called "Monkey Running Moon". He jumped back more than ten feet, dodging Cheng Kun's "Horizontal Slash of Mount Hua", then raised his palm in mid-air and shouted: "Halt! I have something to say."

  "Stop stalling and return the letter to me quickly, or else you'll be in for a beating!" Cheng Kun shouted in a hoarse voice. As a guardian, he couldn't even protect a single letter from the leader of the gang, it would be a joke if word got out.

  "What are you hitting? You're really blind, aren't you going to deliver a letter to Old Master Feng Renrui? Open your beady eyes and take a good look, I'm the one receiving this letter. In the Jianghu world, people call me 'Fengliu Hu'!"

  "You, you, you're Feng Renshui, the second master? You usually travel by horse or carriage, how come you're riding a donkey today?" Cheng Kun looked at the person in front of him, his whole body exuding an evil aura, with a lewd smile, matching the rumors about the flower thief. But his brother Feng Renhe had defected to Japan and was extremely wealthy, so it was impossible for Feng Renshui to have fallen to the point of riding a donkey, which is why Cheng Kun asked.

  "Haha, you country bumpkin, really have no worldly experience. Who goes out to handle things, plays with little girls, and still wants to put on airs? Cut the crap! Since this letter is for me, I'll read it." He said, tearing open the envelope and pulling out the letter to read.

  Cheng Kun was calling Feng Rensui "old master" repeatedly, which made him very unhappy. Cheng Kun and Feng Rensui were about the same age, so they should be peers. Cheng Kun thought: "I'm already an older person, but someone is calling me 'old master' in front of me. This person really lacks upbringing. Alas, Feng Rensui is a scoundrel, what upbringing would he have?! Humph! If he had any upbringing, could he do so many evil things? The leader is also like this, not knowing how to interact with people, and actually wants to associate with this old rascal. If it weren't for the sake of reviving the Green Snake Sect, I wouldn't want to know this old lecher!" Cheng Kun thought, feeling angry, his mouth pouting high.

  "Haha, haha, haha, haha! After searching for so long, I finally found him without any effort. Haha, this is a letter from my nephew Feng Xiaobao, inviting me to meet him in Bayin Town. Haha, haha, it's really great, too great! I've finally found Feng Xiaobao for my brother after 18 years of searching! Old brother, haha, no need to be angry, we're all family, don't take offense at what happened earlier! What's wrong, old brother, are you still pouting and angry with me?" Feng Renshui walked up to Cheng Kun, patting and hugging him excitedly, not knowing how to express his joy.

  "Hahahaha, old brother, just by looking at you, I can tell that you're a man who lacks women in his life, always so angry! Old brother, let me tell you, if you don't do anything and just visit brothels, everything will be fine. However, I've never visited brothels myself, because playing with women who have been played with by others has no flavor. I like to play with those innocent and untouched girls. Hahahaha, innocent girls are delicious, hahahaha——"

  Cheng Kun is also an old hand, otherwise how could he have endured for so many years? He still has some self-cultivation. Especially since the person in front of him was the one who helped arrange the meeting with the leader, and to the leader, this person must be very important. If the leader is happy, everything can turn out well. So although Cheng Kun looked down on Feng Renshui in his heart, he still went along with him and pretended to laugh together with Feng Renshui.

  "Haha, Second Master is right too. Someone like me who doesn't know much about the Tao, how dare I talk about yin and yang? If I can just fill my belly for a day, that's already wrong. From now on, I'll have to rely on Second Master to help me out." Cheng Kun said with a flattering tone.

  "Haha, what nonsense are you talking about! Feng Xiaobao, yes, also known as Gengyuan, is my nephew, and you're his guardian. What more needs to be said? From now on, we're one family. If there's food for me, Feng the Second, then there's food for you too. Besides, after my brother lost Xiaobao, he was disheartened for eighteen years. Now that Xiaobao has returned safely, my brother will definitely be overjoyed. When he's happy, he'll surely reward you handsomely." Feng Rensui said with a pat on Cheng Kun's shoulder.

  "Feng Er Ye, can you confirm that our leader is indeed Feng Xiao Bao, the young master of the Feng manor?" Cheng Kun made an educated guess that Geng Yuan was Duan Hong De, hence the question.

  "That's not fake! Xiaobao was lost when he was over a year old, and when he was young, I often held him in my arms to play with him. On his back, there is a green snake pattern, which I saw at Biyuan Temple. No mistake, your family's master, it must be our family's Xiaobao, the young master of the Feng family." said Feng Rensui.

  "Oh, Master Feng Er, since our leader has invited you to meet in Bayin Town, let's go now." Cheng Kun found Feng Renrui and also completed the task given by the leader, feeling much more at ease.

  "Come on, let's go pick up our young master at home!" Feng Rensui exclaimed excitedly.

  "Feng Er Ye, are you coming on a donkey or going to ride one? This way you'll be more comfortable." Cheng Kun led over the donkey that was grazing by the side of the road.

  "Alright, let's ride! Back to Bayin Town. Dammit, I'm really lucky these days, all good things have been happening. Haha, being a person is great when you reach this point. It's worth it." Feng Renshui gently pressed the donkey's back and his body had already floated onto the donkey's back.

  Cheng Kun and Feng Renrui, one riding a donkey and the other walking, chatted as they headed towards Bayin Town.
