Chapter 632: Kidnapping
The moon is rising above the trees in the garden of Mantuo Villa.

During these days, Duan Yu tried his best to flirt with girls and had become very familiar with Wang Yuyan.

The two of them, along with Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Chai Xin, and Yang Guo, were all in the pavilion enjoying the moon and chatting.

Li Qingluo seemed to have some farm affairs to deal with, so she did not accompany him.

Duan Yu and the others were chatting and laughing, while Chai Xin was instructing Yang Guo in martial arts not far away.

As they were chatting, they started talking about Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi, who came to Murong family to seek revenge.

Wang Yuyan asked in confusion, "These two people have never met my cousin before, so why did they become enemies?"

Duan Yu naturally did not hide anything and said truthfully, "The leader of the Funiu Sect, Ke Baisui, has a lifelong skill called 'Thousand Shatterings of the Heavenly Spirit'. I think with Miss Wang's profound knowledge, she must know about it, right?"

After these days of interaction, he naturally knew that Wang Yuyan was a "master of theoretical martial arts".

Wang Yuyan nodded and said, "I know. That is the fourth variation of the 29th move of the Funiu School's Hundred Victory Whip. The move is indeed a bit strange and the force is very strong, but it cannot be considered a superior martial art."

"Miss Wang is indeed well-informed!" Duan Yu praised, and continued, "However, Ke Baisui died from his own unique martial art, 'Heavenly Spirit Thousand Shattering'. Rumor has it that it was Murong who did it by 'returning the favor'."

"That does make sense." Wang Yuyan nodded slightly.

Duan Yu added: "In fact, it's not just the Funiu Sect. I'm afraid the Shaolin Sect will also try to cause trouble for Master Murong."

"Why is this?" Wang Yuyan was puzzled.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, who were standing by, also became anxious when they heard Duan Yu's words.

The Shaolin School is not a small player like the Funiu School. It can be called the leading force in the Central Plains martial arts world, with great influence and many masters.

It wasn't a big deal that Murong Fu was being sought for revenge by the Funiu Sect, as he had experienced similar things quite often.

But the Shaolin Sect is different. If Shaolin wants to cause trouble for Murong Fu, it will be a big trouble.

Seeing that the others were anxious, Duan Yu did not keep them in suspense and told them everything he had seen and heard in Dali before he was kidnapped.

"The abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Xuanci, has a junior fellow disciple, whose Dharma name is Xuanbei. The martial arts that Master Xuanbei is best at is the 'Vedo Pestle'."

Wang Yuyan nodded immediately and said, "That is the 48th of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu. It only has 19 stick techniques, but it is extremely powerful when used. It can be called a top-notch martial art."

"This Master Xuanbei went to Dali a few days ago, but was suddenly attacked in the Shenjie Temple in Luliangzhou. The fatal injury was caused by the 'Vedo Pestle', which he was most proficient in."

Duan Yu spoke in a serious tone, and Wang Yuyan and the others were all nervous after hearing it.

"Rumor has it that this is also the work of Gusu Murong Clan's 'give and take'. If the Shaolin Temple monks also think so, I'm afraid they will come looking for Master Murong soon."

“The leader of the Funiu Sect might have been killed by my cousin, but Master Xuanbei was definitely not killed by him.” Wang Yuyan suddenly said in a firm tone.

Duan Yu was surprised and asked, "How can you be so sure?"

Not to mention him, even Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were very curious.

"Because I know... my cousin doesn't know the 'Vedanta Pestle' skill at all. This unique skill is really difficult to practice!"

Wang Yuyan showed a wry smile on her face and then waved her hands repeatedly.

"Don't tell my cousin in front of him that he doesn't know this martial art, and don't tell him that he heard it from me, or he will be angry with me."

Ah Bi said anxiously, "Young Master may not know about this yet. What will we do if the Shaolin monks surround us without any explanation?"

"No, we have to find a way to inform the young master!" Ah Zhu also said solemnly.

Wang Yuyan couldn't help but become worried after hearing this. She frowned and said, "My cousin is in danger. What should I do?"

Duan Yu was inspired when he heard this and said, "Miss Wang, you are proficient in so many martial arts, why don't you go and help him yourself?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes widened when she heard this. She was speechless for a long while before she said, "Although I know a lot of martial arts from various schools, I have never practiced them. How can I help? Besides, my mother will never allow me to go out, especially to help my cousin."

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Even if your mother doesn't allow you to, can't you just leave secretly? I once left home quietly, and when I returned home, my parents were just worried about me, but didn't punish me."

"This boy clearly wants to kidnap the girl and run away. Absolutely."

Although Chai Xin was teaching Yang Guo at a distance, his hearing was so strong that he could hear the conversation between them clearly.

Wang Yuyan suddenly felt enlightened after hearing what Duan Yu said. Her eyes lit up and she thought to herself, "Yes, I sneaked out to help my cousin. Even if my mother punishes me severely when I come back, it's worth it! After all, we are mother and daughter. She won't really take my life."

Duan Yu was very smart, so he immediately saw the intention in her expression, and he struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Don't underestimate yourself, if you are willing to go, you will be able to help Master Murong a lot!"

This is what Wang Yuyan is most hesitant about at this moment. Even though she has the heart and courage to go out and help Murong Fu, she is powerless after all, so how can she help?
"How to say?"

she asked eagerly.

"Miss Wang, as the saying goes, 'Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly.' When Master Murong is fighting with others, you can give a few words of warning. At the critical moment, it will definitely affect the overall situation!"

Seeing that the girl he liked cared so much about the safety of other men, Duan Yu felt a little sour in his heart, but he managed to suppress it with great difficulty.

"In the past, when I saw others playing chess and one of them was about to lose, I couldn't help but give them some pointers, and they immediately turned the tables. Isn't this also the principle in martial arts competitions?"

Wang Yuyan suddenly felt very reasonable. Most importantly, she suddenly realized that she was still very influential to her beloved cousin, so she naturally believed what Duan Yu said.

Ah Bi had long been secretly in love with Murong Fu, but due to her status, she never dared to express it. When she heard that her son was in danger, she was naturally very anxious.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but persuade him: "It would be great if the girl is willing to help."

Ah Zhu was the smartest and knew how to persuade people. She said immediately, "Even if you can't help, your kindness will surely move my young master."

These words really hit Wang Yuyan's heart.

"Okay! It's decided then. We will set off immediately to help my cousin!" Wang Yuyan finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Miss Wang may not know that my elder brother Chai is also a rare master in the martial arts world. I invite you to go with me this time. We have strength in numbers and can definitely help Mr. Murong turn danger into safety."

In order to pick up girls, Duan Yu directly dragged Chai Xin into the water.

"That's right! The foreign monk that day was really powerful, but Master Chai was able to escape unscathed. I think his martial arts skills must be extraordinary."

Ah Zhu also praised.

Ah Bi naturally hoped that as many people as possible could help her master, so she nodded immediately: "Master Chai can leap dozens of feet, so his martial arts skills must be very high."

"Okay! Okay! Then let's go now, so as not to delay any longer..."

Wang Yuyan no longer had any hesitation.

Chai Xin had no objection to this, of course. He had been in Mantuo Villa for long enough, so it would be best if he could follow the protagonists to catch up on the plot. So, without even packing their bags, they boarded a small boat and left Mantuo Villa overnight.

After getting on the boat, Azhu and Abi were about to row, but Chai Xin waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, amid the exclamations of everyone, Chai Xin's clothes suddenly moved without wind, and ripples suddenly appeared at the stern of the boat.

In an instant, the small boat carrying six people galloped across the lake like a horse.

"This... Young Master Chai's inner strength is so profound that I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can match him!"

At this moment, Wang Yuyan truly realized how high Chai Xin's martial arts skills had reached.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was afraid that her cousin, whom she had been thinking about all the time, was far less capable than the man in front of her who looked only a few years older than her.

In comparison, Murong Fu is already nearly thirty years old.

Although Wang Yuyan had never practiced martial arts, she did have good vision.

After all, she had read a lot of martial arts secrets, and she knew very well how much internal strength was needed to use it to propel a small boat carrying six people at such a fast speed!

If it were an ordinary expert, it would be very difficult for him to move the boat thirty to five feet.

Even some of the top masters recorded in books may not be able to do it so easily.

"Brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. It has only been a few months since he created his martial arts, but he has already reached this level. He is simply a genius!"

Duan Yu's internal strength is now enough to rank among the top masters in Jianghu, but when he felt the powerful force bursting out of Chai Xin's body, he felt that his own skills were like a firefly to the bright moon, and could not be compared at all.

“You are worthy of being my uncle! One day, I will also become a great master like you who is free and easy!” Yang Guo thought to himself with admiration on his face.

Azhu and Abi were naturally delighted. Their young master had such a master to help him, so the chances of him escaping danger were naturally greater.

After the boat sailed for about half an hour, we could vaguely see the lights on the shore.

Ah Bi said, "It's so fast. We've already arrived at Sister Ah Zhu's Tingxiang Pavilion."

"It is already late at night. We can still travel quickly by water, but I am afraid that traveling by land will be inconvenient. In my opinion, it would be faster to stay in this humble house for one night, recuperate, and then continue our journey tomorrow."

Ah Zhu thought for a moment and suggested.

"Well, that's fine too."

Wang Yuyan has become increasingly silent since leaving Mantuo Villa.

Ah Bi was gentle and considerate. She knew that this was her first time away from home and was worried about Murong Fu's safety, so she whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, young lady. The young master is blessed by heaven. He always turns misfortune into fortune, and this time will be no exception."

Wang Yuyan sighed and said, "Shaolin Temple has been standing in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, so it should not be underestimated. I hope the monks in the temple are wise and willing to listen to my cousin. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that my cousin has a bad temper and we might clash..."

As they got closer to the shore, Ah Zhu suddenly frowned and whispered, "Something looks wrong."

A-Bi also nodded and said, "Yes, we don't usually light so many lights."

Chai Xin had extraordinary eyesight and perception, and he immediately noticed something was wrong. He shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, there are just some guests on the island."

"guest?"

Ah Zhu frowned when she heard this, and understood the deeper meaning in the other person's words.

It was obvious that these uninvited guests had bad intentions.

However, when I thought of Chai Xin's strength, I felt a lot more relieved.

The others naturally understood the meaning of Chai Xin's words, and they all stopped talking for a moment and said no more.

Under Ah Zhu's guidance, Chai Xin maneuvered the boat to the back of the water pavilion.

Looking up, I saw tall weeping willows everywhere on the shore, but there were bursts of rough shouting coming from the elegant houses on the shore, which seemed extremely out of place.

"I don't know who is so bold as to act here." Ah Zhu was obviously unhappy. After all, this was her home.

She led everyone straight to the kitchen, where she saw a chef spitting into the pot. Ah Zhu was shocked and asked in surprise, "Old Gu, what are you doing?"

The chef, Lao Gu, was startled at once, but then he showed joy and said, "Miss Ah Zhu, you're back!"

Then, without waiting for Ah Zhu to respond, he continued, "Miss Ah Zhu, there are many bad guys outside, and they forced me to prepare food. I was angry, so I did this."

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were both Murong Fu's personal maids, and their status was extremely high among the servants. They were even the masters of Tingxiangshui Pavilion, and they had many maids, cooks, boatmen, gardeners and other followers.

Ah Zhu immediately asked, "How many people are here?"

Old Gu counted on his fingers and replied, "The first group that came was about eighteen or nineteen, and the later group was about twenty or so. The two groups seemed to be at odds with each other."

Ah Zhu said, "There are actually two groups of thieves? Do you know who they are?"

Lao Gu recalled: "The first group sounded like northern bandits, dressed in rough clothes. The group behind them spoke with Sichuan accents, all wearing white robes, and looked much more refined."

Ah Zhu asked again: "Do you know why these people are here?"

Lao Gu replied, "The group from the north came to look for the master, and the group from the south came to look for the young master. We told them the truth, but they didn't believe us. They made a big fuss in the village and injured several people, but fortunately no one was killed."

"Why bother with so much trouble? Let's just go and meet these uninvited guests." With Chai Xin by his side, Duan Yu seemed very calm.

The others thought about it and agreed that this made sense, so they stopped worrying about it.

Led by Ah Zhu, everyone walked out of the kitchen together, and after turning a few corners, they finally arrived at the main hall.

The group did not shy away and walked straight into the hall.

For a moment, the originally bustling hall suddenly became silent, and everyone turned around to look over.

"who?"

Many people in the hall immediately asked in unison.

Ah Zhu was immediately annoyed and said angrily, "You waited in someone else's territory and did whatever you wanted, but now you're asking who they are?"

A burly old man stepped forward, looked at Ah Zhu, and said, "Are you the owner of this place? Are you the daughter of the Murong family? Is Murong Bo your father?"

"How can I be so lucky? I am just a little maid of the Murong family."

Ah Zhu replied calmly.
