Chapter 1025 - Junior Martial Brother Sun, Nice To Meet You!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Jiang Leng and Helian Beifang, who were escaping, didn’t show any hesitation and immediately headed back at the sight of this.

Someone must follow them and leave leads behind. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to find their eldest martial sister.

“You guys are really making things difficult for me!”

Tantai Yutang complained.

He was a proud young man. Giving chase would definitely be more dangerous than returning to seek help. Therefore, the sickly guy wanted to be the one to do this job.

However, someone needed to go back and report this.

“Remember to make a reservation next time. Leave the dangerous job to me, the senior martial brother!”

Tantai Yutang decided that after this matter was over, he was going to have a ‘meeting’ with his junior martial brothers and set up rules. However, before the sickly guy managed to run far off, he suddenly took a vigorous whiff and then turned to give chase.

Their teacher had come!

Why did the sickly guy know this?

After finding out that Zhou Wenbin had gotten into trouble, he made advanced preparations and secretly scattered a powder specially made by him on Sun Mo as well as his martial siblings.

This scent was very faint. Only a doctor like him with a sharp sense of smell and had been through professional training would be able to detect it.

...

Pa!

Lu Feng grabbed onto Li Ziqi.

“From now onward, forget about your identity as the Great Tang’s princess and focus on being my disciple!”

Lu Feng tapped strongly with his toes and leaped across the wall. In the process of landing, a well-controlled wooden blade came slashing over diagonally.

At this instant, Lu Feng was still plunging and unable to tap on other forces to dodge the attack, so he could only take it head-on.

However, when Lu Feng saw that the person was Sun Mo, he immediately changed his move, putting his fingers together to form a blade and pierced toward Sun Mo’s eyes.

He chose a method where both of them would perish together!

“If Sun Mo dodges, then it’d mean that he cares for his life. Li Ziqi will definitely be disappointed in him then.”

This was Lu Feng’s scheme.

However, Sun Mo didn’t show any hint of hesitation.

A Sword Breaking the Sky, Heaven Rend.

Swoosh!

The wooden blade sent out astonishing blade shadows that hit Lu Feng’s head.

Bang!

Lu Feng’s body swayed and he suffered from a slight bout of dizziness.

Sun Mo’s attack was stronger than he had anticipated.

Pa!

Lu Feng’s fingers hit Sun Mo, but the latter had activated Great Invincibility in time to block it.

32nd stance!

Dragon Capturing Hands!

Pa pa pa!

Sun Mo’s right hand kept slashing his wooden blade out, performing the Sky Shocking Sword, while he concurrently performed various Dragon Capturing techniques with his left. He kept on attacking Lu Feng’s left hand, which was holding onto Li Ziqi. At the same time, he kept making ferocious bellows.

Sun Mo’s bellows weren’t one he made out of anxiety. They were the dragon might from the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture.

It had a tremendous mental suppressing effect.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two of them clashed for three seconds and then backed off respectively. However, over 30 moves had been exchanged.

“Teacher!”

Huang Meibo was given a fright when she saw that her teacher’s sleeves were torn and he had received a punch in the face. She quickly ran over. However, she had just gotten close when Lu Feng slapped her in the face.

Pa!

The slap was very loud.

The corners of Huang Meibo’s lips cracked.

“You fool!” Lu Feng scolded. “What would you do if Sun Mo were to attack you?”

Huang Meibo’s countenance turned dark.

“Hey, my teacher won’t do such a low-class act. Even if she’s from the Dark Dawn, my teacher won’t raise his hands against a young lady.”

Helian Beifang stood on the wall, despising Lu Feng’s act of measuring the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men.

Jiang Leng heaved a sigh of relief and then quickly darted to Sun Mo’s side, taking Li Ziqi from him. “Eldest Martial Sister, let’s leave first!”

“En!”

The little sunny egg knew that she would just become a burden and obstruct her teacher’s battle if she were to stay behind.

“Do you dare report your name?”

Sun Mo was enraged. (It’s one thing that you lay a hand on Zhou Wenbin, but you’re thinking of abducting my eldest disciple too? You’re really courting death!)

Although this person’s appearance was different, his figure as well as his clothes hadn’t changed at all. Therefore, Sun Mo was certain that he was the short-haired great teacher at Zhou Clan earlier.

“Lu Feng! But you should address me as Senior Martial Brother Lu!”

Lu Feng sized up Sun Mo and restrained his hostility, saying apologetically to him. “Junior martial brother, nice to meet you?”

“Junior martial brother?”

Sun Mo’s brows were furrowed so tightly together that they could clamp a crab to death.

One mustn’t recklessly claim a martial sibling relationship in the Nine Provinces.

One could only do that when the two of them had the same personal teacher.

The Sun Mo in this world had always loved An Xinhui and wanted to study under the old headmaster’s wings. Therefore, Sun Mo didn’t have a personal teacher.

“That’s right.” Lu Feng teased. “But it has been very long since Teacher has brought you up.”

Sun Mo’s disciples exchanged glances, all of them looking stunned.

They were very familiar with Sun Mo’s background, so where did this senior martial brother pop up from?

“Are you mistaken?”

Sun Mo was displeased. He detested people like him who spoke around in riddles.

“There’s no way that I’ll be wrong. An Xinhui is really beautiful. I had thought that a trash like you would never be a good match for her, but I didn’t expect you to suddenly improve explosively after not seeing you for a few years.”

Lu Feng lowered his voice. “Did you encounter some amazing opportunity? Tell me secretly. Senior Martial Brother promises to not tell anyone else!”

“Could Teacher’s teacher have a hidden identity and mustn’t be exposed?”

Tantai Yutang guessed.

This was the only possible answer. Otherwise, Sun Mo would be considered very unfilial to not be going to his personal teacher’s home to greet him during festivities.

Once this news were to spread, it’d be all over for Sun Mo.

It was because great teachers needed a strong positive reputation. Even if they were to secretly hate their teacher a lot, they must be respectful on the surface. They weren’t allowed to have any stains to their name on the moral level.

“Given Ziqi’s current performance, she’s still unable to get into the top 100 in the 4-stars personal disciples battle. Why not let me teach her for ten months?”

Lu Feng proposed. “You’ll be able to shine during the 4-stars examination then.”

“There’s no need to trouble you!” Sun Mo rejected.

“Hey, you’re really wronging someone with kind intentions. Don’t you want to get another first place?” Lu Feng enticed him.

“I’ll teach my own disciple.”

Sun Mo was getting very impatient.

The reason Sun Mo hadn’t made a move was because he realized that the other party was very strong, and he was waiting for reinforcements.

“Alright, I have had enough fun on this trip. It’s time for me to go home.”

Lu Feng waved his hand. “See you at the 4-stars examination. You must come!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lu Feng’s movement was extremely fast. He pulled Huang Meibo and jumped on the roofs before entering a small alley. He then disappeared without a trace.

Only after he was gone did the constables dash out from the corners and the roofs.

Sun Mo didn’t blame them for trying to save themselves.

They were clearly no match for him and would just be courting death if they were to come out.

But the Saint Gate was really trashy!

Why didn’t they strengthen the patrols as something had just happened to Zhou Wenbin?

If it wasn’t because Ma Qianzu had notified him in time, he wouldn’t have been able to rush back to save Li Ziqi.

Other than the few reasons Li Ziqi had mentioned on why she was dragging out the time, there was another most important reason—She was trying to fight for more time for Sun Mo to rush back.

When she noticed that there was a problem, she had summoned Ma Qianzu and had it go to notify Sun Mo.

“Teacher, we can give chase!”

Tantai Yutang said, “He has gotten some medicinal powder on him. It won’t disappear for at least four hours.”

“Teacher, Junior Martial Sister Yaoguang has been kidnapped by that girl. We have to hurry and give chase.”

Helian Beifang hadn’t spoken much with Qin Yaoguang, but as they were martial siblings, he was still worried about her.

“What’s the cause for this?”

Sun Mo looked toward Li Ziqi. “That Huang Meibo is unconvinced and wants to fight you?”

“En!”

The little sunny egg nodded.

Sun Mo fell into deep thought.

“Teacher, how do you know?”

Helian Beifang was perplexed.

“This is easy to deduce. It’s because Lu Feng was admiring a bunch of great teachers’ forlorn state earlier at the Zhou Clan’s manor!”

His goal was primarily Sun Mo, so if Lu Feng had wanted to kidnap Qin Yaoguang, he would have made a move personally and not let Huang Meibo do the job.

It was because she might fail. If they were to cause alarm, it’d be hard to kidnap the target then.

Given Lu Feng’s style of doing things, his arrogance and pride didn’t allow him to fail. Therefore, he’d be careful in whatever he did, assuring the chances of success.

Sun Mo’s explanation caused Helian Beifang to be enlightened.

“Ziqi, tell me about the details of the entire process!”

Sun Mo didn’t rush to give chase.

The other party was currently in the midst of fleeing and would be especially careful. If he were to give chase, there was a high possibility that he’d be noticed.

Therefore, it was better to wait until they felt that they were safe and had let down on their guards before he made a move.

Anyway, Tantai Yutang could find him through the scent. They’d be able to catch him then.

Li Ziqi’s expressive ability was very strong, and she explained the entire event clearly with a few words.

After Sun Mo was done listening, he thought about it for a few minutes before looking at his disciples.

“Then do you guys know where Yaoguang is right now?”

Sun Mo asked.

“Eldest Martial Sister can go first.”

Jiang Leng had a bit of a guess, but he mustn’t cut the queue.

“Ziqi, go first!”

The sickly guy had thought of it too.

“Can’t you address me as Eldest Martial Sister?”

The little sunny egg rolled her eyes. “I feel that she should be in that weapon store.”

“That can’t be.”

Tantai Yutang shrugged. Although he said this, he still felt admiration for Li Ziqi’s intellect.

“What are your thoughts on this?”

Sun Mo took the lead and ran out of the small alley.

“I feel that she’s in the hotel.”

Jiang Leng’s answer was different.

“I have the same view as Eldest Martial Sister!”

The sickly guy supported Li Ziqi. As for Helian Beifang, he scratched his head, unable to think of an answer.

When Sun Mo entered the weapon store, the shopkeeper came to welcome him warmly. As he promoted the weapons, he also didn’t forget to introduce business for that antique store.

After all, he’d get a commission for it!

“I’m called Sun Mo. My disciple has been abducted and she could be hidden in your place’s backyard. I’d like to do a check. May I ask if you will allow us to do that?”

After Sun Mo said that, the weapon store’s shopkeeper was so shocked and scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

“Yes! You can!”

The shopkeeper quickly replied.

Everyone in the entire Song An Prefecture knew of Sun Mo’s great reputation. A commoner like the shopkeeper couldn’t afford to offend a famous person like him.

Moreover, he was a 3-stars great teacher.

It’d be fine to let him stay and sleep for a few days, let alone checking out his backyard.

“After he is done checking, should I ask for him to give me a writing?”

The moment the shopkeeper entered the backyard, he called his wife over. After bowing to Sun Mo, he had his wife hurry to the school and call his son back.

If Sun Mo took a liking to his son, the latter would have limitless prospects in the future.

It didn’t take much effort before everyone found the unconscious Qin Yaoguang buried under a pile of dried grass in the woodshed.

“How did you guys guess it?”

Helian Beifang was surprised, feeling that he was crushed on the intellectual level.
