Wei Xiangting found Long Changkui, Yang Wei, Hu Qixian, and White Phosphorus and said,
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the young master Ren Cong will come back to offer sacrifices to his ancestors. What do you think should be done? Everyone can speak freely and discuss their own opinions. It doesn't matter if you're wrong!”
Long Changkui said,
"Alliance Master, please forgive me for being blunt. Ambitious Mountain Villa is Alliance Master Ren's property, so it should be returned to the Little Lord. This is something that the entire martial arts world knows. We used to be Alliance Master Ren's subordinates, so we should be loyal to Alliance Master Ren. However, Alliance Master Ren has passed away for many years, and there has been no news of the Little Lord. The management of the villa has always been managed by Alliance Master. Now that we are your subordinates, we naturally listen to Alliance Master Wei. If all of them are handed over to Young Master Ren, how will we maintain our brothers in the future? I hope the Alliance Master and the Little Young Master can discuss a foolproof plan. "In short, since I, Long Changkui, am your subordinate, I will follow your orders. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. Please rest assured, Alliance Master!"”
White Phosphorus said,"
"Return my ass! They've been dead for so many years. Didn't we rely on our lives to build this foundation? Now, aren't they still relying on us to take care of them? In my opinion, if he wants to come back, we should worship him. Otherwise, we should give him a million taels of silver and ask him to start over. If he didn't obey, he might as well take him to the basement to have a look and let him enjoy himself inside. Or, if he didn't do it, he would kill him. No one would know!”
Yang Wei and Hu Qixian both agreed to let Alliance Leader Wei decide. Yang Wei said," I heard rumors in the martial world that this young master's kung fu is strange and very powerful. He's not as easy to deal with as Hall Master Bai imagined!" " We might lose our heads if we don't handle this well. It's better to be careful. We'll cross the river by feeling the stones first and act according to the situation. This is a figure that the entire martial arts world is paying attention to. We can't cause public outrage!”
Wei Xiangting coughed lightly and took a sip of tea.
"Yang Wei and Hu Qixian are right. This young master is indeed very powerful! Of course, it was not as scary as everyone thought. The key was which path everyone thought they should take!”
"What are you afraid of? I'll lock him down there obediently and wait for his death with my secret passages and traps. Alliance Master, make up your mind. We'll listen to your arrangements!”
White Phosphorus shouted anxiously.
"Alright then, we'll act according to the situation. Everyone, listen to my orders and act according to my eyes. Zhang Qin had twenty-two Tiger Generals and five hundred brothers under her command. Hall Master Yang had to suppress them, so it was best not to let him know the truth!”
Wei Xiangting reminded.
"Don't worry, Alliance Master!"
Yang Wei replied in a clear voice.
"Also, Private Advisor Lin, Lin Bingnan, is a loyal subordinate of the previous Alliance Master. His attitude is not clear now, so we have to pay special attention to him as long as he doesn't get in our way. This person is a very useful talent. He will be very useful to our future business development!”
Wei Xiangting warned.
At this moment, Lin Bingnan came to Zhang Qin's study. He said to Zhang Qin, who was drinking tea,
"Hall Master Zhang, you're in such a good mood. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Young Master Ren Cong has returned to the manor to pay his respects to his parents. You're Su Cheng's junior brother, so you must want to avenge your senior brother, right? Young Master Ren's return this time is related to this matter. I hope you can protect the safety of Young Master Ren and his party and listen to Young Master Ren's orders. What do you think?”
Zhang Qin put down her teacup and said without hesitation,"
"As long as it's revenge for Senior Brother, I, Zhang Qin, will not shirk my responsibility. If someone were to plot against Young Master Ren, my five hundred brothers would not be trifled with. If you need me, Zhang Qin, to do anything, just tell me!”
"Good! I only hope that you don't do anything other than accompanying me to receive the young master. Have you heard the Jianghu rumors? That wasn't a rumor, it was the truth!”
Lin Bingnan said in a deep voice.
"What is it? Was it really Wei Xiangting who plotted against Alliance Master Ren? This old dog was too hateful! I thought it was just a rumor!"
Zhang Qin was shocked.
"Shh, lower your voice. It's good that you know. So, don't listen to anyone's orders, understand? I'll tell you if anything happens. Just pretend that you don't know anything!”
Lin Bingnan warned Zhang Qin.
"Good! Damn it, I'll just wait and see how he performs. I'll just listen to your orders. There are some things that I can't directly contact Young Master!”
Zhang Qin said.
"Pretend that you don't know anything and act as usual. Just focus on the reception work. Go. Pay special attention to the kitchen. Send your trusted brothers to supervise the kitchen. You can't be careless for a moment. The people who deliver the dishes must be your own brothers. Moreover, they must serve the dishes in groups of three. No one is allowed to act alone!”
Lin Bingnan told Zhang Qin in detail.
"Alright, don't worry, Grand Master. I'll also set up sentries along the path where the dishes are served. There won't be any mistakes!”
Zhang Qin said as she sent Lin Bingnan out of the study room and quickly went to decorate.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was good. Early in the morning, groups of magpies were chirping on the willow trees in the square and courtyard of Ambition Villa. The red sun shone on the earth. People were in a good mood and full of hope and vitality when they met such warm sunshine in the spring after the winter. Droplets of dew on the chrysanthemums in the flower beds of the courtyard dam sparkled like small crystal lamps. The golden words "Ambitious and Powerful Villa" were shining brightly under the sunlight. The golden words on the tombstones of Ren Xiaotian, his wife and the other hall masters on the left side of the square and the huge stone steles in front of the square were especially dazzling. The cemetery was spotless.
On a large piece of red cloth on the gate tower of the villa, the words were written in copper powder:
"Welcome, Young Master Ren, Young Miss Ren, back to the manor to pay respects to the ancestors!”A few big words.
A few lion squads were already waiting at the main gate square. On both sides of the main gate stood two green-robed guards holding large swords.
The sun had risen more than twenty feet high, and a yellow dust cloud rose above the main road in front of the villa. Ren Cong and his group appeared on the main road in front of the square on their handsome horses. Immediately, firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums sounded, and the lion team jumped and danced. It was very lively. The surrounding villagers and neighbors heard the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums and rushed over to watch the show. After a while, there was a sea of people. It was extremely lively. People whispered and discussed.
Wei Xiangting, Lin Bingnan, and their brothers were waiting at the gate. Ren Cong, Ren Hui, Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, Tang Sect, and Mount Heng Sect's Sect Leaders jumped off their horses and went up to Wei Xiangting and the others to exchange pleasantries.
Wei Xiangting held Ren Cong's hand and said excitedly,"
"Ah! My dear nephew has grown into a handsome prince charming. Alliance Master Ren, Madam Ren, my big brother and sister-in-law, you can rest in peace in heaven. Come, come, come, come in and sit down. We should have a good chat. I've been worried to death all these years…!”
"Thank you Alliance Master Wei for your concern. Everything is over now. Ren Cong has finally returned home today! Hehehe!"
Ren Cong said indifferently as he walked.
They arrived at the Alliance Master Building's meeting hall and sat down. Wei Xiangting welcomed the sect leaders of the various sects to accompany their young masters back to the manor to pay respects to their ancestors. Wei Xiangting said,
"Young Master Ren, Eldest Miss Ren, fellow martial artists, seven years ago, Ambitious Mountain Villa was plotted against, and Alliance Master Ren, his wife, and the others unfortunately died. We've been trying to catch the murderer for many years, but we've failed. Now, the suspect who harmed the villa is here. Take him down!"
Yang Wei, Bai Lin, Long Changkui, and Chen Qixian each led ten machetemen and rushed toward Gan Quan, Wu Yun, and Gai Ba, twisting their hands and slashing their swords.
Huo Sheng, the Abbess Qu Xin of Emei, stood up and shouted,"
"Wait a minute. There is no evidence to prove that the three of them are the culprits, so we can't arrest them randomly. Moreover, Young Master and Eldest Miss are here.”
The Sect Masters of Shaolin, Wudang, Heng Mountain, and Tang Sect also stood up and agreed with the opinion of the Emei Nun Qu Xin.
Wei Xiangting turned around and said to Ren Cong,"
"Nephew, the suspect is here.”
