Chapter 1050: Descendants of a Famous Family
"Brother...brother?"

"Greetings, sir!"

Before everyone could doubt whether they had heard wrong, dozens of Western Region masters led by Abaolu, including Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Budao, etc., knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Shuang respectfully.

"hiss!"

A meaningful call and a sudden gift shocked the crowd who did not know the truth. For a moment, tens of thousands of people were dumbfounded, stunned, with surprise on their faces.

Who could have expected that Wu Shuang and Xunzhen, who seemed to have nothing in common, would actually call each other "brother and sister".

Wu Shuang ignored the surprised and strange looks around him, took a step forward as if no one was around, and gently rubbed Xunzhen's head with his hand lovingly, saying jokingly: "Sister, you have become more and more beautiful in the past few months. I wonder which stinky man will marry you in the future?"

"Brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Being teased by Wu Shuang in public, even Xunzhen, who was very intelligent, couldn't help feeling ashamed and his cheeks flushed.

"Sister, I'm not too late, am I?"

"It's not too late, it's just that we almost caused a big mess." Facing the cynical Wu Shuang, Xunzhen, who was still frightened, rolled his eyes at him, "You came here this time..."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me!"

At this time, most people were immersed in the "brother-sister" relationship between Xunzhen and Wu Shuang, and they had a lot of thoughts and imaginations.

It is worth mentioning that two people could not help but recall the past while being surprised. Suddenly, they had a flash of inspiration, and the doubts that had been trapped in their hearts were solved in a flash. The look in their eyes when they looked at Wu Shuang became more intriguing.

One of them was Qin Ku. When Xunzhen asked him for help to avoid the heavy vigilance of the Mongolian garrison and try to get out of the pass, he inadvertently mentioned that Sui Zuo had suffered a loss from the "disguise technique" at Huashan, so a basin of clean water was placed at the fortress pass leading to the west for people passing by to wash their faces and remove makeup, to prevent someone from sneaking through with the "disguise technique".

At that time, Qin Ku was deeply surprised at Xunzhen's "omniscience".

After all, Xunzhen followed Luo Tianjin's order to lead people to Jingjiang Prefecture to attack Jinjianwu, so she did not participate in the martial arts conference. But she knew everything about Huashan, which always confused Qin Ku.

Today, when he learned that Wu Shuang was Xunzhen's "brother", he suddenly realized that Xunzhen was so observant not because of her shrewdness, but because Wu Shuang tipped her off.

Another person who solved the puzzle was Jin Fuyu, who had tried to win over the young and promising Wu Shuang. However, Wu Shuang looked at Jin Fuyu with an indescribable hatred. Although he did not say it explicitly, the unforgettable murderous intention made the meticulous Jin Fuyu never forget it and feel resentful.

In the past, Jin Fuyu had never understood why Wu Shuang wanted to kill him when he and Wu Shuang had never met before and had no grudges against each other. It was not until today that he suddenly realized that it was not an illusion, and Wu Shuang really hated him.

The root cause is that Wu Shuang is a Liao person, and Jin Fuyu is a Jin person.

There was hatred between Liao and Jin for the loss of their country and the extermination of their clan. Therefore, it was reasonable for Wu Shuang to secretly murder Jin Fuyu.

Not far away, Liu Xunyi stared blankly at Wu Shuang and Xunzhen who were talking and laughing. In her heart, she couldn't believe that they were siblings. She even couldn't believe that the two of them... had known each other for a long time?
"So... Young Master Wu is from Liao?"

Xie Xuan, who had suddenly realized his mistake, was also surprised, but he knew that the situation on the field was treacherous and changing rapidly. Therefore, he quickly identified the situation, understood Wu Shuang's intention, and took the initiative.

This sarcastic remark not only expressed Xie Xuan's emotion, but also was a provocation to Qingfeng.

"Xie Xuan, what do you want to say?"

The cunning Qingfeng had already vaguely guessed Xie Xuan's intention. Although he looked expressionless and seemed calm and composed, his heart was actually in turmoil.

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" Teng Sanshi suppressed his inner ecstasy and explained slowly, "At the martial arts conference, Abbot Xuanming admitted that Young Master Wu and the four Shaolin monks of the Xuan generation were close friends regardless of age. Because of this, he can freely enter and leave the Shaolin Sutra Library without being stopped. As everyone knows, 'monks don't tell lies.' It is obvious that Young Master Wu has an extraordinary relationship with Shaolin."

Having said this, Teng Sanshi cast his proud eyes towards Xuanming who was in deep thought, and continued: "Since Young Master Wu is Miss Xunzhen's brother, he must also be the Shao Qin King's man. In this case, the relationship between the four Shaolin monks Xuanyun, Xuanfeng, Xuanshan, and Xuanhai and Shao Qin King..."

Teng Sanshi was concerned about Shaolin's reputation and did not say it explicitly, but everyone knew what he meant.

As expected, everyone was stunned when these words were spoken, and the looks they gave the Shaolin monks became increasingly strange.

At this moment, the faces of the monks changed from shock to anger, and then from anger to sorrow. Especially Xuanming, who had mixed feelings, his eyes were erratic, his face was uncertain, and he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't, and he was at a loss.

“The Central Plains martial arts world is not a poor and barren place. It is impossible that ‘only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps’. Since the monks of Shaolin Temple can make friends with the people of Shao Qin Wang, why can’t Liu Xunyi and Lord Xie? Even if we send an army to punish them, we should treat them equally. Either they all deserve to die, or they are all innocent.” Qin Ku took the opportunity to make a fuss, and then he slapped his forehead hard as if he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly at Xuanming and the Shaolin monks with gloomy faces, “That... Qin is young and ignorant, and has read little, so sometimes I can’t help but speak without restraint. In fact, I have great respect for Shaolin and all the monks, and I don’t have any malice at all... I hope that all the masters will be magnanimous and compassionate, and think of the great aspiration of the Buddha to save all living beings... Please, please, please don’t treat me like this.” If he said that Qin Ku was young and ignorant, I’m afraid no one present would believe it. He was just pretending to be confused on purpose.

"Master Qin's words are not unreasonable!" Xue Huzi pondered, "If making friends with foreigners is a sin, Shaolin is the first to be blamed. Everyone knows that the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library is a forbidden place, even the disciples of the sect cannot easily enter and leave, but Wu Shuang can come and go freely. This shows that his relationship with the four monks must be special. At least... it is not less intimate than the friendship between nephew Xunyi and Miss Xunzhen."

"Palace Master Qin and Gang Master Xue have spoken out for justice. I am deeply grateful!" Teng Sanshi stared at the hesitant Xuanming and said with a meaningful smile, "But this is a serious matter. We should still hear what Abbot Xuanming thinks."

"This……"

"Don't try to evade the truth and pass off fake things as real! How can Liu Xunyi and Xie Xuan be compared with the Shaolin monks? The two things cannot be confused!" Seeing that Shaolin was dragged into the water by Wu Shuang, Gu Ri could no longer suppress his inner anger, so he argued in a deep voice, "First, although Xunzhen called Wu Shuang 'brother', it does not mean that Wu Shuang is a Liao person. Second, even if he is a Liao person, it does not mean that he is a man of Shao Qin Wang, and he may not be as obedient to Shao Qin Wang as Xunzhen. Therefore, Wu Shuang and the four Shaolin monks are a gentleman's friendship, while Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen are a villain's friendship..."

"You are so shameless and frivolous!" Xie Xuan laughed in anger. "You are talking nonsense about 'friendship between gentlemen' and 'friendship between villains'. Do you think all heroes in the world are fools?"

"In any case, Liu Xunyi was nominated by Xunzhen as the deputy leader of the Xilu Wuzong, and is directly under the command of the Young Prince of Qin. This is undisputable. As for Wu Shuang..."

"It's true that Liu Xunyi is the deputy leader of 'Xilu Wuzong', but he only commands the four major branches in Central Plains. As for other places outside Central Plains, they are currently managed by another deputy leader of 'Xilu Wuzong', and he... is also under the command of Prince Shao Qin." Before Gu Ri finished speaking, Xunzhen spoke in a calm and quiet tone.

"Gurgle!" Realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated, Yin Baimei swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "I wonder who the other 'deputy sect leader' that Miss Xunzhen mentioned is..."

"Far away, yet close at hand." Xunzhen's expression changed, he pointed at Wu Shuang who was beaming with joy, and said seriously, "He is the other deputy leader of 'Xilu Wuzong'. He is from the same sect as Liu Xunyi, and like me, he is under the command of the Young Qin King. Most importantly, his real name is 'Yelü Wushuang', the son of 'Xiluan Liaoning King' Yelü Qin, and the nephew of the Young Qin King. If you say that he is not a loyal supporter of the Young Qin King, who would believe it?"

"hiss!"

Upon learning of Wu Shuang's surprising background, the crowd burst into exclamations again.

In addition to being shocked, many people in the society felt a sense of inexplicable loss and sadness in their hearts.

The "Top of the Dragon and Elephant List" symbolizes the supreme pinnacle of the younger generation in the martial arts world. It would be ok if he was not Han Chinese, but he is actually a descendant of the Western Liao royal family.

In an instant, a strong sense of frustration intertwined with age, region, dynasty and even nationality made the heroes in the Central Plains, who have always been proud of the orthodoxy of China, even more melancholy.

At the same time, many people looked at Liu Xunyi with increasingly fiery eyes.

Although he was not as skilled as Wu Shuang, he did not dare to compete with him. However, Liu Xunyi, who was also a Han Chinese and was equally young and handsome, could undoubtedly become their greatest hope, and even the last hope for the Han Chinese to regain glory.

An accidental comparison caused Liu Xunyi's status and weight in the hearts of the heroes in the Central Plains to rise sharply, which was actually a good thing.

As for Liu Xunyi, at this moment he had no intention of competing with Wu Shuang, because his mind was only on Xunzhen.

He had dealt with Yeluqin before and knew that Xunzhen was definitely not Yeluqin's daughter. But she called Wu Shuang "brother", so...what was Xunzhen's true identity?
"How is it? Who dares to say that Wu Shuang and the four Shaolin monks are... gentlemen? Can he be confused with Liu Xunyi, who is also the deputy leader of the 'Xilu Wuzong'?"

"This……"

Xunzhen's outspokenness completely blocked Shaolin's retreat, and at the same time blocked Qingfeng's many excuses to "save" Shaolin. It made everyone panic and the atmosphere in Qingshi Square became more and more depressing.

What kind of martial arts is Shaolin? It is the martial arts sect of the world and the originator of the Green Forest.

There is a saying in the martial arts world that "all the martial arts in the world come from Shaolin". Its prestige and status are superior to Wudang, which is also one of the "two martial arts sects".

Although Shaolin monks are vegetarians, chant Buddha, and have few desires, they rarely participate in martial arts battles. Although Shaolin's territory is not very large, its scale is not very large, and its disciples are not many. Although Shaolin has always maintained moderation in the past martial arts feuds, giving people the impression of "keeping to oneself" or even "passively escaping from the world". However, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, no one has been able to shake its transcendent position in the martial arts world.

The posture of Shaolin is just like the golden Buddha in the main hall. Although it never leaves the main hall, and although it keeps its mouth shut and does not utter a word, and although its expression is rigid and motionless, it does not affect the gratitude and respect of countless devout men and women who worship it.

There are countless martial arts schools that are brave and aggressive, fighting for fame and fortune, just like the change of spring and autumn, and the withering of flowers. On the contrary, Shaolin, which has always been selfless and quiet, has gradually become the world-recognized and well-deserved authentic martial arts.

Today, Shaolin, known as the "ancestor of martial arts", has been embroiled in a scandal involving entanglements with foreign races. It is inevitable that people's minds have changed and rumors have spread.

At this moment, not only the self-righteous Shaolin monks were ashamed and embarrassed, but even the martial arts colleagues who stayed out of the matter felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
