Chapter 230 Dialogue
"As I just said, I am Brother Qiao's friend."
Gu Qianbei said softly.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Xiao Yuanshan asked, puzzled.
Based on their recent exchange, Gu Qianbei's strength was no less than his.
If the fighting continues, it will likely be a tough battle.
Xiao Yuanshan didn't want the fight to be fought in a muddled manner.
At the very least, we need to figure out whether they are friend or foe.
"I know the truth about Yanmen Pass."
Gu Qianbei knew he had to offer something of value to calm Xiao Yuanshan down.
"The truth about Yanmen Pass? Hmph, I already know it! No need for you to tell me."
Xiao Yuanshan said coldly.
"No, you only know one side of the story. You think that because Xuan Ci is the ringleader, he is the mastermind behind everything?"
Do you know why he went to Yanmen Pass to ambush you?
Gu Qianbei said softly.
"this……"
Xiao Yuanshan was taken aback when he heard this; he had never actually thought about this question.
"What other reason could there be? Doesn't he think I'm going to steal the secret manuals from the library?"
"Who spread this fake news? Have you found out?"
"Who is it?"
Xiao Yuanshan suddenly realized, "Oh right, how could I have forgotten about this crucial link?"
"Gusu Yanziwu, Murong Bo."
"Murong Bo? I have no grudge against this person. Why would he want to harm my whole family?"
"Young man, are you trying to make fun of this old man?"
Xiao Yuanshan's voice grew increasingly cold.
"Of course not. Let me explain."
Gu Qianbei immediately told Xiao Yuanshan the truth of the matter, and the more Xiao Yuanshan listened, the uglier his face became.
"What? Is that so? That damned Murong Bo attacked our family to instigate a war between the Song and Liao dynasties?"
Xiao Yuanshan was so angry that his eyes turned red, and his internal energy surged throughout his body, as if he was about to go berserk.
"Did I manage to drive this little guy to his death?"
Gu Qianbei was secretly alarmed.
But soon, Xiao Yuanshan suppressed his anger and looked at Gu Qianbei again.
Do you have any real evidence to support what you're saying?
I heard that Murong Bo has been dead for many years. You're not trying to shut me up with a dead man, are you?
Xiao Yuanshan still had some doubts.
After all, this matter is just too bizarre.
"No, Murong Bo is not dead. He faked his death to escape."
Gu Qianbei calmly dropped another bombshell.
"Not dead? What happened?"
Xiao Yuanshan became more and more confused as he listened.
"Murong Bo's planned massacre at Yanmen Pass ultimately failed to achieve his goal."
Xuan Ci eventually realized that he seemed to have been deceived, so he wanted to confront Murong Bo.
As a result, Murong Bo took the initiative and faked his death to escape.
He knew he couldn't explain any of this.
If the explanation is not done well, it will be met with hostility from Shaolin, and even from most of the martial arts world.
To avoid such a predicament, he chose to fake his death.
Once someone fakes their death, no one will ever know the truth.
Xuan Ci would also think that Murong Bo died out of guilt, and would no longer make things difficult for the Murong family.
After all, death absolves all debts, and Shaolin Temple still values forgiveness to some extent.
"Very well! What a Murong Bo! He's so ruthless and shameless."
Xiao Yuanshan was so angry that he laughed instead.
"If you still have doubts, you can confront Xuan Ci."
I believe you will get the answer you want.
However, you'd better wait for Brother Qiao to arrive before going to find Xuan Ci.
Firstly, the fact that you and your son are working together puts considerable pressure on Shaolin, so they won't have any ulterior motives.
Secondly, it will save Brother Qiao from having to make another trip later, which would be very troublesome.
Thirdly, you also need time to calm down. I'm really afraid you'll rush into Shaolin and start a massacre.
You don't care, but Brother Qiao is in trouble.
If you still have any sense of responsibility as a father, don't cause him trouble.
Over the past thirty years, you have had many opportunities to raise your son again, but you have never done so.
Since that's the case, we shouldn't interfere in his life anymore.
Brother Qiao deserves a better future.
"Hmph! I think you just want him to continue serving your Great Song Dynasty!"
My Feng'er is a dignified Khitan hero, yet these past years he has been sent by you Song people to fight against the Liao Dynasty.
Your intentions are truly malicious.
Xiao Yuanshan said coldly.
"Aren't you also one of those who led him into this desperate situation?"
If you had been willing to help Brother Qiao before, he wouldn't be in this awkward situation where he's caught between two sides.
"How dare you! How dare you speak ill of me! Do you really think that just because you're Qiao Feng's friend, I won't dare to touch you?"
Xiao Yuanshan was furious, his tiger-like eyes filled with murderous intent.
Clearly, Gu Qianbei's words deeply stung the old father.
"I'm just telling the truth. Senior, ask yourself honestly, what have you been doing all these years?"
"You bastard! It's not your place to question me!"
Xiao Yuanshan was furious, and then his inner strength surged, and he directly struck out with a palm.
The Great Compassionate Palm!
This palm print was pitch black, carrying an incredibly powerful palm force.
This shows just how terrifying Xiao Yuanshan's strength was when he attacked in anger.
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly, feeling that Xiao Yuanshan was a bit crazy.
It's unclear whether this is due to his inherent personality or because he has gone astray from practicing the 72 Shaolin Arts.
But now is not the time to consider these things.
The terrifying palm print was already sweeping towards him, and Gu Qianbei had no choice but to take it.
"Perfect timing to try out the Tathagata Palm technique I learned from kung fu."
As Gu Qianbei pondered, his right hand had already assumed the stance of the Tathagata Palm.
"The First Form of the Tathagata Palm: The First Appearance of Buddha's Light!"
A golden swastika palm print appeared and collided with the Great Compassion Palm.
With a loud bang, the two palm strikes exploded simultaneously, creating a terrifying aftershock.
Gu Qianbei took two steps back before regaining his balance.
As dust billowed, Gu Qianbei frowned slightly, observing Xiao Yuanshan amidst the smoke and dust.
"Hahaha! Kid, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."
Your palm technique is even more domineering than the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Xiao Yuanshan laughed heartily, putting on a smiling face again, as if nothing had just happened.
He's such a capricious person.
"Senior, what are your plans? Are you going to wait for Brother Qiao with me, or will you act on your own?"
Gu Qianbei was getting a little tired of talking.
If it weren't for gathering the ingredients for the Overlord Wine, he really wouldn't bother with all this trouble.
He wouldn't have bothered helping Xiao Yuanshan, who was such a lunatic, if it weren't for Qiao Feng.
"I'll listen to you! I'll wait for Feng'er to come over."
It's about time that we, father and son, recognized each other.
Xiao Yuanshan thought for a moment and then said.
"Alright! I'll be staying at the Qiao family's house for the next few days. Just show yourself when Brother Qiao arrives."
You'd better not go to the library during this time.
Why?
"There is a sweeping monk in the library, whose strength is terrifying."
If he wanted to, he could absolutely kill you with a single blow.
"Impossible! If Shaolin had such a powerful expert, how could they have allowed me to steal the secret manuals for so many years?"
