Chapter Sixteen: The Red Figure in the Eyes of Each Major Faction

  Although everyone was curious in their hearts, they didn't dare ask again.

  Ding Yi but asked: "Yi Lin, what about afterwards?"

  Yi Lin looked at Chen Xiao, smiled sweetly and continued: "At that time, I was afraid that Tian Boguang would hurt him, so I said it had nothing to do with him and told him to leave quickly. But Chen Gongzi was being facetious, saying something about sitting down and talking about ideals and chatting about life..."

  She said this, and suddenly a Buddhist chant came from another position in the hall. It was a great monk of Shaolin Temple who said: "Amitabha Buddha, Yilin Xiaoshi Zhu Bosatsu's heart is kind, good, good."

  Those who seek the Buddha have always been kind and compassionate, and when they hear Yilin say this, they also praise her: "Good child." Looking at Chen Xiao, his attitude is obviously much friendlier, saying: "Young Master Chen, you're stalling for time, thinking of a way to save Yilin, right?"

  Chen Xiao scratched his head with some embarrassment and said: "Haha, haha, seeing injustice on the road and drawing a knife to help is what one should do, it's only right!"

  Yi Lin continued: "At that time, Tian Boguang also said so. He said Chen Gongzi was delaying the time and wanted to save me. Chen Gongzi agreed at the time, and then Tian Boguang went to challenge Chen Gongzi."

  As soon as they heard that Tian Boguang was going to compete with Chen Xiao, everyone let out a cry of surprise.

  Tian Boguang was known as the Lone Traveler of Ten Thousand Miles, with extremely good lightness skills and his Crazy Wind Knife Technique was also very famous. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, didn't have any martial arts skills at all. The contrast between them sparked curiosity, making one want to know what would happen next.

  Yi Lin continued: "At that time, the two of them started fighting, and Chen Gongzi didn't have any martial arts skills. He was cut by who-knows-how-many knives in an instant. Tian Boguang was also startled and said, 'Fortunately I held back seven parts of my strength, otherwise Chen brother would probably have died under my knife.' Master, Tian Boguang's knife really is incredibly fast. I couldn't see it clearly at all."

  Ding Yi patted Yilin's soft and delicate hand, comforting her: "Tan Boguang has always been a difficult person to deal with, study martial arts well, and you'll be able to defeat him in the future."

  Yi Lin shook her head and said, "Master, it's not necessary anymore. Tian Bo Guang was surprised when he saw that Chen Gongzi really didn't have any martial arts skills, and after asking him, he found out that Chen Gongzi was indeed unable to fight, but still wanted to save people, and he couldn't help but admire Chen Gongzi."

  She said that here, the hall suddenly burst into a big applause, among which two voices were particularly loud. One of them said: "Good fellow, later on, no matter what you say, we must have a good drink with Brother Chen!"

  Another voice said: "A great man does things, but seeks to do what is right, whether he is a hero or not depends on his moral character, not on his martial arts skills. Brother Chen should be worthy of the title 'great man'!"

  These two loud shouts, the first one was naturally said by Linghu Chong, who was always bold and carefree, while the second one was said by Duan Yu, who had a somewhat pedantic air about him.

  If one has martial arts skills and is prepared to take action to save others, it's not difficult.

  If it's saving someone who has a great relationship with oneself, then it's not difficult either.

  But the real difficulty lies in that Chen Xiao and Yi Lin can be said to have no connection at all, and Chen Xiao just happens to have no martial arts skills. In such a situation, it is extremely rare to still be able to make a move to save someone.

  Even the Eastern Jade, who was sitting high on the main seat, also quietly looked at Chen Xiao with a pair of eyebrows and eyes, just as Chen Xiao was making a gesture to greet her with a smile, and her mouth slightly curled up, smiling faintly.

  Yi Lin continued: "After that, Tian Boguang wanted to take his disciples away, but Chen Gongzi refused to let them go. The two of them started fighting again, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Gongzi was stabbed many times. Then Tian Boguang felt embarrassed to fight with Chen Gongzi anymore, so he asked him two questions instead."

  Ding Yi asked: "What did Tian Boguang say?"

  She had previously always referred to Tian Boguang as a wicked thief or a lustful thief, but now that she saw he hadn't killed Chen Xiao, she changed her address.

  Yi Lin said: "Tian Boguang's first question was to ask Chen Gongzi, if I were an ugly freak or a man, would Chen Gongzi still save me?"

  Ding Yi asked: "How did Mr. Chen answer?"

  Yi Lin said: "Chen Gongzi said that if I'm still afraid of hurting him, he will save me, no matter what."

  Ding Yi listened and nodded silently.

  Yi Lin said again: "Tian Boguang's second question is, if the disciple's martial arts are higher than his, and it becomes the disciple chasing him down, would Chen Gongzi still save him?"

  The question was extremely sharp, and everyone in the audience held their breath, becoming even more curious, waiting to hear how Chen Xiao would respond.

  It's not hard to imagine that if one answer is not good, then it will absolutely not end well.

  Yi Lin said: "Chen Gongzi said that in that case, we can only choose to stand by and watch."

  "Good!" Linghu Chong exclaimed loudly from the side, praising: "Brother Chen is indeed a generous and chivalrous person, I, Linghu Chong, have made friends with you!"

  Duan Yu also said: "Brother Chen is indeed a heroic figure, let's drink together and count me in." Wang Yuyan, who was sitting next to him, also took a deep look at Chen Xiao and smiled slightly.

  At this time, everyone was curious, and after Chen Xiao finished speaking, Tian Boguang's reaction was to hear Yilin continue: "Tian Boguang listened to Chen Gongzi's words, and at first he was silent for a while. However, he suddenly burst out laughing and said, 'Tian Mou is a flower thief and a big thief, with a bad reputation that Tian Mou knows in his heart. Today, however, I admire your brother's magnanimity and courage. So, I must say, Tian Mou suddenly wants to be sworn brothers with you, an unusual brotherhood. What do you think, young brother?' Master, at the time, the disciple saw Chen Gongzi as a heroic figure, and thought that being sworn brothers with Tian Boguang would tarnish his reputation. Just as he was about to dissuade him, Chen Gongzi unexpectedly said that he wanted to bring... bring the disciple along too."

  Yi Lin said this, Liu Zhengfeng burst out laughing and said: "Good, you have insight! Since the three of us have sworn brotherhood, how can Tian Boguang still make a move against Yi Lin's master and apprentice? From now on, Yi Lin's master and apprentice will naturally be safe and sound."

  When Liu Zhengfeng said this, the people present naturally understood Chen Xiao's mind and thought: This person is indeed generous and his thoughts are quite delicate. He can think of this point, and it's urgent to take advantage of the situation, and it's not surprising that he can't blame him.

  Yi Lin continued: "Then, the disciples became sworn siblings with Tian Boguang, Chen Xiao and Chen Gongzi. Tian Boguang was the oldest, as the big brother, Chen Gongzi was next, as the second brother, and the disciple was the youngest, as the third sister."

  Everyone heard this and suddenly realized that when Yilin called Tian Boguang "Tian Dage" earlier, it was actually like this.

  Yi Lin shook Ding Yi's arm and whispered: "Master, Tian...Tian Ge has already said he wants to change his ways and stop harming others. If you meet him in the future, can't you just let him off?"

  Ding Yi looked at his favorite little brother and his tone softened, laughing: "Next time I meet him, I won't take his life."

  At this time, the old monk who had spoken before in the Shaolin Temple declared a Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha Buddha, Mr. Chen is a young hero, what's more rare is that he has a Buddhist heart, if Mr. Chen doesn't reject it, why not come to my Shaolin? The 72 ultimate skills, Mr. Chen can learn at will.

  As soon as he spoke, the entire hall suddenly boiled over. Shaolin voluntarily accepted disciples, and even directly expressed that Chen Xiao could learn 72 kinds of absolute arts, which was almost a pie-in-the-sky good thing.

  But unexpectedly, Chen Xiao laughed and said: "Master's words are too serious, I don't like to be restricted in my life, and I especially love drinking and eating meat, so Master's kindness, I can only appreciate it silently."

  The master then chanted a Buddha's name and laughed: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha sits on the head, Chen Shi Zhu, you are enlightened."

  Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head. At this time, the other major sects saw Chen Xiao reject Shaolin Temple's proposal and they all extended an olive branch to him. The Five Mountains Sword Sect, Emei Sect, Zhenwu Hall, and Kunlun Sect all made their moves, fearing that if they were late, others would snatch him away.

  Chen Xiao desperately refused, until finally, with no other choice, he pointed to Dongfang Yu sitting steadily in the main seat and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I really have something important to attend to, and recently I'm afraid I'll have to follow Miss Dongfang. Thank you for your kind intentions, I can only acknowledge them in my heart, sorry, sorry."

  Everyone's eyes turned to Dongfang Yu, thinking: "Such a young hero has actually gotten mixed up with the Demon Cult leader, what a pity. But he actually calls Dongfang Invincible 'Dongfang Young Lady', it seems their relationship is not ordinary." They thought this, but truly wanted to find Dongfang Invincible to steal him away, that was absolutely not dared.

  But at this time, Ding Yi suddenly asked: "Then how did you end up going with Dongfang Bubai again? What about Tian Boguang?"

  Many people in the arena knew something about this matter, but after all, they didn't know as much as Yilin did. All she heard was Yilin saying softly: "After I and Tian Dage, Chen Erge became sworn brothers, we rushed here, and after entering the city, Tian Dage said he wanted to go drink wine. As a disciple, I originally didn't want to go, but couldn't persuade Tian Dage, so I followed him too. The result was that when we arrived at... Qun Yu Yuan, we coincidentally ran into Dongfang... Dongfang Jiao Zhu."

  As for what happened later, it was related to the secrets of Dongfang Bubai, and the people present naturally didn't dare to continue listening. Dinging understood some more or less, patted Yilin's shoulder, asked her to sit down, and finally just looked at Chen Xiao one more time, shook his head, and stopped talking.

  The matter originally ended here, but there was still a biggest doubt, that is, what did Dongfang Bubai come here for?
