The two gripped each other's shoulders tightly and shook each other vigorously.
The two cried for a while, then Lu Guanying stepped forward.
"Father, Uncle Feng, please get up and speak."
The two then calmed down a bit.
Feng Mofeng was happy
"This must be your son, Lu Guanying. He's grown up so much. Your mother took you to Peach Blossom Island once when you were little."
(Lu Guanying's age is unknown, but he is older than Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Lu Chengfeng was expelled when Huang Rong was just born.)
"Yes, yes, my son Guanying, your martial uncle even held you when you were little."
"Who is this?"
Feng Mofeng and Lu Chengfeng had already stood up, and it was clear that Huang Yi was not one of the guards behind them.
"Huang Yi greets Senior Brother Feng."
"Senior brother?"
"Your surname is Huang, and you're my master's?"
Huang Yaoshi had already expelled them all; normally he wouldn't take on any more disciples.
If he's not an apprentice, then he can only be a son.
"Senior Brother Feng, I am Huang Yaoshi's son, Huang Xiaoxie."
Feng Mofeng was not surprised.
"Haha, seeing how much you resemble your mother, I could easily guess."
Only those who disrespect Huang Yaoshi, calling him "Old Eccentric Huang"
This is a family tradition.
Lu Chengfeng said, "I saw my junior brother at night that day. If it weren't for his Falling Flower Sword Palm, I really wouldn't have recognized him. Who would have thought that Master's son would become a young hero?"
Time really flies!
Lu Chengfeng sighed, and Feng Mofeng fell silent.
Chapter 8 Qu Lingfeng
"Senior brothers, let's talk while we're seated."
"it is good"
Everyone went to his blacksmith shop and sat down.
They just sat on the ground; there weren't many formalities.
Lu Chengfeng recounted his experiences over the years: establishing Guiyun Manor and searching for Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng.
After that, Huang Yi's arrival was briefly mentioned.
"Senior Brother Qu is dead."
Feng Mofeng burst into tears.
"Back on Peach Blossom Island, I was the youngest, and my master, mistress, and fellow disciples doted on me the most."
"When they were expelled from Peach Blossom Island, Senior Brother Qu's daughter was only seven years old."
"Junior brother, do you know how Senior Brother Qu's daughter is doing now?"
Huang Yi shook his head
He knew about the silly girl.
However, it is not appropriate to say it at this time.
"Senior brother, junior brother, let's hurry and collect Senior Brother Qu's body!"
"Brother Qu is dead, we can't let his body remain exposed in the secret room forever."
Huang Yi had told them beforehand that he had gone to find Qu Lingfeng first.
After discovering that Qu Lingfeng was dead, they went to find Lu Chengfeng.
Because they wanted them to go together to collect Qu Lingfeng's body, Qu Lingfeng was still kept in the secret room.
Now that they had finished catching up, the two were eager to collect Qu Lingfeng's body.
"I don't need any of my belongings; let's leave as soon as possible."
Feng Mofeng glanced at his blacksmith shop, showing absolutely no reluctance.
There really isn't anything worth missing.
"it is good"
Lu Guanying then said, "Father, Master, Uncle-Master, we can travel south for a day."
"After that, we switched to the waterway. Father and Uncle-Master both have difficulty walking, so traveling by water would be more comfortable for them."
“Alright, Guanying, you take your men and make the arrangements up ahead, we’ll follow behind,” Lu Chengfeng immediately agreed to the decision.
That night, they boarded the boat.
Going downstream, it takes three or four days to reach Taihu Lake.
The three brothers chatted a lot more on the boat.
Each recounted their experiences over the years.
Huang Yi also talked about the situation on Peach Blossom Island.
"So, Master has always cared about us. Back then, Master loved his wife too much, and after she passed away, Master went to extremes," Lu Chengfeng sighed.
Feng Mofeng also sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
"Over the years, I've been very worried about my master, afraid that he might also go to extremes."
"Fortunately, he had his junior brothers and sisters, which allowed him to transform his grief into fatherly love and persevere all the way."
The three of them talked all the way to Taihu Lake.
They rested for one night after returning to Guiyun Manor.
Then we set off again for Niujia Village in Lin'an.
It only takes a day to get there from Taihu Lake.
They stayed one night in the county town.
However, after daybreak, they asked for directions and headed there.
Outside Qu San's Tavern, the crowd looked at the abandoned tavern, feeling a pang of sadness.
After a long while, Lu Guanying walked ahead and opened the door.
It was full of dust.
Huang Yi went in first
He found the mechanism first and went inside.
Lu Chengfeng and Feng Mofeng both had mobility issues, so Lu Guanying stayed by their side to look after them.
In this way, Huang Yi's lie could be covered up; he had never been here.
When Huang Yi found Qu Lingfeng's body, Lu Chengfeng and Feng Mofeng had just entered.
"Senior Brother Qu"
"Senior Brother Qu, we've come to see you."
The two knelt beside the corpse and wept bitterly.
Inside the secret room were many gold and silver jewels, as well as some valuable antique paintings and calligraphy.
Everyone turned a blind eye
After the two had cried for a while, Huang Yi found the words Qu Lingfeng had left before his death.
"My two senior brothers, these are Senior Brother Qu's two last wishes before he passed away."
The words on the wall were covered with dust and cobwebs.
Huang Yi carefully wiped it clean and showed it to them.
In his will, he requested that the treasures stolen from the palace be given to Huang Yaoshi, and also expressed his concern that his daughter would be left without care after his death.
Suddenly, Huang Yi heard a commotion outside and went out to investigate.
Soon after, Lu Guanying, Feng Mofeng, and Lu Chengfeng also came out together.
"Could she be a silly girl?"
Huang Yi saw a woman dressed as a beggar arguing with their entourage.
