Legend of Shi’En - C90

After the incident with LinDa, Shi En and Shu Xiaoxiao continued to discuss plans with Mu Xin.

“My original plan was very simple. I was to get the prize money for this grand gambling feast, and after getting the money, I would distribute it to the poor citizens of this place. However, I was a bit worried.”

Shi En had once reminded him of these situations before, allowing him to think twice before acting. But that time, Shi En had no choice but to bite the bullet and go all out.

Upon hearing Shi En’s words, Xu Zengshou understood what he meant, “Shi En is worried that if this money comes into the hands of the commoners, they will snatch it away before he even gets the chance to cover his tracks. Or rather, he has returned to Underground Fighting Ground’s waist pouch.”

Shi En nodded his head, Shu Xiaoxiao had already mentioned this problem to him on the way here, and after hearing what Shu Xiaoxiao had to say, he understood that if they could not resolve this problem, then all their efforts would be for naught. Ignoring the fact that Xu Zengshou and this Xiang Gong both stood on his side, they had even brought Mu Xin, who had sufficient status, status, and power, with him. Right now, he was like a tiger with wings.

“Regarding this problem, the three of us have already discussed about it. If you trust Shou Tou, then you can hand the money over to me.”

Shi En touched his smooth chin, thinking that Shou Tou was truly a trustworthy person, but just as he was about to agree, he felt that his leg had been kicked. Shi En glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eyes.

Shu Xiaoxiao had not spoken a word since she first entered, and was quietly listening by the side. Now that she heard that Xu Zengshou had asked her to hand over the money she won from the Underground Fighting Ground to him, even though she was extremely anxious, she maintained a calm and composed expression, and wanted to say something, but had some reservations, so she could only hint at Shi En with her eyes.

Shi En exchanged a glance with Shu Xiaoxiao. Naturally, he knew what Shu Xiaoxiao meant by that.

Shi En’s heart that didn’t come here for no reason suddenly felt warm. Although Shu Xiaoxiao always said something strange to him in the morning and maintained a cold attitude towards him in front of outsiders, on the surface, she looked like it did not have anything to do with her.

“Um, Shou Tou, after I give you the money, what are you going to do with it?”

“Ha, we are prepared to use this money to establish a charity. Don’t worry, we will spend every penny you have on the poor citizens of Great Ming Dynasty.”

“Eh, that’s a good idea. It’s a charity. When I was young, I heard my teacher say that it’s the kind of organization that takes money donated by others to help the people of Great Ming Dynasty who need it, right?”

Shi En did not notice that when he mentioned his childhood in Jiao Xi’s private school, a look of ecstasy appeared in Shu Xiaoxiao’s eyes who was seated to his right.

“He remembers. He didn’t lose his memories. He remembers Jiao Xi’s private school. He really is poor.”

Shu Xiaoxiao endured the joy in her heart, but if anyone present could observe carefully, it would not be hard to notice the gentleness and gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Shi En.

“You, you know of Jiao Xi’s private school?”

The one who spoke was not Shu Xiaoxiao, but the one who had been silent the entire time, Xiang Gong. Hearing that, Shi En raised his head and looked at Xiang Gong, naturally nodding his head: “I know, I’ve lived there since I was young, what’s wrong?”

“Since young?”

“Yeah, he was there since he was young, and he didn’t leave until he was eight years old.” Shi En looked puzzled, and asked tentatively: “What’s wrong? Brother Xiang, is there a problem? ”

“Well, no.”

Xu Zengshou was a little curious, when Xiang Gong suddenly asked about Jiao Xi’s private school, it was definitely not on the spur of the moment. There must be some hidden secret inside, he asked: “Inspector Xiang, do you know this place called Jiao Xi’s private school?” Xiang Gong’s eyelids raised up slightly, but he did not hide it as he said: “Yeah, I do know of this place. When I was young, my body was weak, and I had headaches and fever every few days, and since my family did not have any money to treat me, my mother brought me to the Flood Dragon Creek Private School, and begged the kind teacher there to treat me.”

“Treat?”

Xiang Gong nodded his head and continued to speak: “Yes, I remember that mister didn’t prescribe any medicine, he only instructed my mother to bring some water home from the well in the backyard. Every time I get sick, he would boil some for me to eat, and then, my illness would truly be cured.”

Shi En stroked his smooth chin, “Is the water in the well in the backyard so magical? I remember I used to pee in it. ”

“Pfft!” Just as Shi En finished speaking, Mu Xin who was sipping his tea couldn’t help but spurt out his tea.

“Ahem, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. Waiter, give me a towel, thank you.”

Different from Mu Xin’s apology, Xu Zengshou was laughing heartily as if he did not know what to say, “Wakaka, that was really too awesome. I never thought that you would really … “Uh, just pretend I didn’t say anything.” He very sensibly shut his mouth, because he saw that Xiang Gong’s entire face was completely black like charcoal.

Shi En saw that the situation was bad and quickly prepared to leave, “Um, so it’s settled. I still have to go back to prepare tonight’s Fighting Competition, so I’ll be leaving first.”

He ignored the others and pulled Shu Xiaoxiao up. Like a wild dog that had escaped its restraints, he quickly ran away.

Shi En and Su Yun left the ‘muddled restaurant’.

Only then did Mu Xin heave a sigh of relief, he shrugged and said: “Sigh, I still want them to bring some words for me, that girl Zhu Xiaochang.”

“Xu Zengshou, after hearing what Mu Xin said, was slightly surprised, but after that, he felt relieved. He himself was able to find out the whereabouts of this girl, let alone this Mu Xin,” Even if you were to obstruct her, at this moment, it is more important that you settle the matter regarding Underground Fighting Ground first. If you let this girl know that you are following the ‘Bu Gan House’, then she might come and leave without saying a word tomorrow.

“An Ra, I can distinguish the seriousness of the matter. Oh right, I have something that I don’t understand, right?”

“What is it?”

“How can you guys have so much confidence in this person?”

Hearing that, Xu Zengshou and Xiang Gong looked at each other, then shook their heads. Xu Zengshou replied: “I also don’t know, originally when the Inspector Xiang came looking for me, they told him to stop, but I never thought that there would actually be such a person in this world.”

“Oh? What kind of person is he? From the looks of it, he seems a bit … uh, to be honest, this person is a bit unreliable. ”

Xu Zengshou nodded his head, and agreed with Mu Xin, “You have always been very accurate, Shi En is indeed very unreliable, but it cannot be denied that he is a good person, from the moment he helped Wang Dachui’s family escape to the moment he went to participate in the grand gamble in the Underground Fighting Ground, and all of this was for winning the prize money to be distributed to the poor citizens around here.” As he spoke, he drummed his fingers on the table and continued, “What made me even more determined to help him was that I discovered a power hidden within the skin of his good people, similar to that of a primordial beast.”

After Mu Xin heard this, he became interested and asked, “Is it very strong?”

“Yes, very strong. So strong that every time I see him, the blades and swords in the Sword Case would go berserk.”

The one who answered was Xiang Gong, who was sitting on his right. After he finished speaking, he opened up the Sword Box behind him, and everyone saw many new traces appear on the inner wall of the Sword Case.

Xu Zengshou also agreed: “I am still not sure exactly how strong Shi En is, because according to the information I gathered, the power unleashed from his recent battles seems to have some properties that only when encountering strong, it can be weak. That day, he slapped a White Lotus Religion follower into meat paste with a palm, then fought the expert from his sect, Chou Niu, and cut off his arm. After that, he even fought against White Lotus Religion Holy Maiden, although he did not injure her, at that time, he destroyed a mountain with a single palm strike.

Mu Xin was a little shocked when he heard Xu Zengshou’s unhurried explanation of his battle achievements, “Oh, I had originally thought that he was a swordsman, but who would have thought that his palm skills were also so powerful.” Just then, a phone’s ringtone sounded. One of the five people standing behind Mu Xin took out his phone from his backpack and handed it over to Mu Xin. Mu Xin looked at the phone and picked up the call, making it easier for them to talk.

“If I didn’t meet him here, I wouldn’t even know that he used the sword.” Xiang Gong carried the Sword Box on his back, and spoke to Xu Zengshou and Mu Xin who was on the phone: “I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Xu Zengshou watched Xiang Gong’s back as he left, and he muttered to himself with interest: “Inspector Xiang, oh Inspector Xiang, looks like you are also hiding some unknown secret, interesting, this way your life will not be so boring and boring.” Then, he turned and said to Mu Xin: “I also have some matters to attend to so I’ll be leaving first. Oh right, the next time you meet Shi En, remember to call him Wang Dachui, or else I’ll reveal myself.”

Mu Xin nodded his head, and said: “I understand, Wang Dachui right?
