Chapter 322 - The Daily Life Of A Good Person (5)

Not long after Ming Shu left, Yue Gan and Nie Shuang were saved.

They sat in an inn.

Yue Gan placed the medicine in front of Nie Shuang and asked after much deliberation, “Miss, do you know the person who called herself the leader?”

“No.” Nie Shuang’s face was still pale. Her voice was weak and gentle and made people’s hearts turn soft.

“Then… do you have the Five Treasures Bible?”

Nie Shuang shook her head and said pitifully, “I have not even heard of the Five Treasures Bible…”

Yue Gan looked at Nie Shuang. She was just a young little girl. She didn’t seem to be lying. However, he was still puzzled. “Why did she say that, then?”

“Is the Five Treasures Bible very powerful?” Nie Shuang gave an innocent look.

Yue Gan didn’t suspect her and explained, “Have you heard about the ranking of secret scriptures? It is the first in rank. However, it disappeared for a long time. If it really appeared again, there would be much trouble.”

Nie Shuang thought for a while and said softly, “Actually… actually, I am from the Half Moon Villa. Does she have a grudge against the villa and wanted to frame me or frame the villa?”

“You are from Half Moon Villa?” Yue Gan was shocked. “May I ask your name?”

“One word, Shuang.”

“So you are the First Young Miss of the Half Moon Villa. Please forgive my breach in etiquette.”

Nie Shuang gave a forced smile. “I still have to thank you. If it wasn’t for you, she might have done worse things to me…”

Yue Gan was modest and said that it was something he should do as a member of the martial arts world. Nie Shuang thanked him again and the topic went back to the Five Treasures Bible.

“We need to be careful with this matter. Many people will have received the news that the Five Treasures Bible is with you.”

Nie Shuang seemed frightened and she stammered, “B-but I don’t have it…”

Yue Gan pondered for a while and analyzed the situation. “What you said might be true. She might have a grudge against the Half Moon Villa. I will send you back to the Half Moon Villa with my junior sisters and brothers and clarify the situation with the head of the villa.”

Nie Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. But then, she got worried again. Would the Half Moon Villa be affected?

Half Moon Villa was quite powerful… it should be okay.

“Will it be too much trouble for you?”

She would definitely be hunted down the moment the news that she had the Five Treasures Bible spread out. Hence, she would not reject Yue Gan’s offer to send her back, but she needed to restrain herself.

Yue Gan said, “We were heading in that direction too so it’s on the way. This issue is too serious. Please refrain from going out alone from now on.”

Nie Shuang would never have had the guts to walk out alone anyway. She smiled at Yue Gan. “Sorry to trouble you, then.”

“Please apply the medicine first, Miss Nie.”

Yue Gan left the room. His junior sisters and brothers gathered around him immediately. “Senior Brother, is it true?”

“Has the Five Treasures Bible really reappeared?”

Yue Gan shook his head with a serious face. “I don’t know. Let us pass the news to our clan first. I am worried that that person wants to make a mess in the martial arts world using the Five Treasures Bible.”

“Yes, Senior Brother.”

Yue Gan asked again, “The leader today, do you know her? What clan is she from?”

“No… only the Flower Butterfly Palace and the Heart Desire Den are led by a woman. However, the leader of the Flower Butterfly Palace is over 50 years old and you have seen the leader of the Heart Desire Den before. Other than that, I have never heard of any clan that is led by a female.”

Everyone looked at each other in speechless despair.

An unknown leader suddenly appeared. And she was quite powerful.

Yue Gan couldn’t remember anything either. He could only wait for his clan to give him some information. Yue Gan told them about Nie Shuang and they decided to send her back the Half Moon Villa.

…

“Hall Master, do we go back?”

At the end of the corridor of the inn, a man was leaning against the railings. Winter had ended, but the man was still wrapped in a thick cloak.

“Tian Shu, did you see what happened just now?” The man’s voice was clean and made people’s heart stop.

“Yes,” Tian Shu answered and looked down.

“What are your thoughts?”

“Hall Master, what Yue Gan said makes sense. Using the Five Treasures Bible, one could create havoc in the martial arts world.”

“You think that the Five Treasures Bible is fake?”

Tian Shu paused. “Hall Master…”

The man looked at the crowd under the inn and changed the topic. “I heard that the Five Treasures Immortal Clan which had disappeared for a long time reappeared and chased after a girl.”

Tian Shu was stunned for a moment. Then he thought of something. “Hall Master, are you saying that that is the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan? How can it be? How is it that the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan is a female?”

The man’s voice sounded far away. “No one said that the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan is a man.”

“Then…” Tian Shu’s throat felt a bit dry. “What do they want?”

The man looked down and saw signs of wear and tear on the railings. He slowly said, “I think that she is telling the truth. The Five Treasures Bible is with Nie Shuang.”

Tian Shu was in a daze.

He didn’t understand why the Hall Master would believe something so unreasonable.

But, what if it was the truth?

…

The news that Nie Shuang had the Five Treasures Bible spread like a virus and in a short period of time, the entire martial arts world knew that the number one secret scripture, Five Treasures Bible, had appeared again.

The disciples of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan were puzzled. “Leader, now that the entire martial arts world knows about this, we will have a difficult time getting the scripture back.”

Ming Shu tossed peanuts into her mouth. “Won’t that be very lively?”

How can a dead martial arts world be called a martial arts world? Martial arts worlds should be lively and messy.

Since Nie Shuang wanted the secret scripture so much, let her have it.

If she had the capabilities, she could keep it.

Everyone: “…”

Why does the leader’s smile look so scary?

The leader must have forgotten to take her medicine today. Hurry up and serve the tonics!

Ming Shu held the tonics that were a few hundred years old: “…” What the hell. I am not stupid!

Give me some more!

{Additional Task: Uncover the truth behind the bloody case caused by the Five Treasures Bible 20 years ago.]

What?

My task now is to solve a case?

[This is how mass gain of Hatred Points works. You must appreciate these kinds of tasks. They allow you to gain Hatred Points from many people at once. You would be able to get quite a high amount of Hatred Points.]

Ming Shu placed her chin on her hand and chewed on a piece of hundred-years-old tonic. Her gaze was far away.

What happened 20 years ago?

Sorry, I don’t know. The Host was not born yet.

However, the Five Treasures Bible disappeared 20 years ago and that was the time the Five Treasures Immortal Clan disappeared too.

“Come over.”

Ming Shu hooked her finger at the disciples that were discussing whether she could still be cured.

“Leader?”

“Let me ask you, what caused the Five Treasures Immortal Clan to retreat from the martial arts world 20 years ago?”

A disciple looked shocked. “Don’t you know?”

The disciple next to him knocked on his head. “Our leader was not born at that time, how would she know?”

“I forgot about that. Why did you hit me?”

“You idiot. Don’t pass your disease to the leader. Our leader already became stupid after she was chewed up by those bastards.”

“Right. Leader, when are we going to find those bastards for revenge?”

The topic changed very quickly.

Ming Shu swallowed two mouthfuls of her hundred-years-old tonic to calm herself down.
