Chapter 117: Rong Er is Safe and Sound
Seeing Mei Chao Feng suddenly kneel down in front of him and call him "Shifu", Tang Xiao Sheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the situation had changed a bit too quickly.
However, he had participated in the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" after all, and was still somewhat familiar with the relationships between the characters in the play. When he saw Mei Chaofeng becoming his Huang Yaoshi, he thought for a moment, and soon basically understood the reason behind it.
Actually, from start to finish, Mei Chaofeng never completely took Tang Xiaosheng as Guo Jing, because the Guo Jing she knew was still just a child, and his age did not match with Tang Xiaosheng's, and that's only one reason.
Secondly, since Guo Jing was just a child, even if he possessed Tang Xiao Sheng's body, he would only have the memories of his childhood and at that time, Guo Jing did not know Huang Rong. However, Tang Xiao Sheng had been searching for Huang Rong all along, which clearly indicates that Tang Xiao Sheng is not Guo Jing.
Thirdly, since Guo Jing was just a child, he couldn't possibly have any martial arts skills, let alone know the "Nine Yin True Classics". And Tang Xiaosheng not only understood the martial arts principles of the "Nine Yin True Classics", but also mastered the acupoint techniques in the "Nine Yin True Classics", which also proves that Tang Xiaosheng cannot be Guo Jing.
It was because of the above reasons that Mei Chaojun could never fully confirm Tang Xiaosheng's identity, even after reading the performance diary written by Tang Xiaosheng, she only had some suspicions. It was precisely because she couldn't be sure that she brought Tang Xiaosheng to this cave instead of killing him directly at his home in Jiayuan Community.
Just then, when Mei Chaojun saw that the point-hitting technique used by Tang Xiaosheng was actually "Lan Hua Fu Xue Shou", all the doubts in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Because the "Orchid Fingers" was an untransmitted ultimate skill of Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, apart from him and Huang Rong, there wasn't a third person who had learned it, thus Tang Xiaosheng's identity was about to be revealed.
At the same time, Mei Chaojun discovered that if Tang Xiaosheng was Huang Yaoshi, then many of her previous doubts would be resolved.
Firstly, Huang Yaoshi is the father of Huang Rong. After crossing over, it's natural for him to look for Huang Rong, and Tang Xiaosheng has also been searching for Huang Rong all along. The situations of the two are completely identical.
Secondly, Huang Yaoshi had once obtained the complete version of the "Nine Yin Scripture", and also had some understanding of the martial arts in the scripture. Although he refused to cultivate after his wife's death, he had studied it before and could practice at any time. And Tang Xiaosheng happened to understand the martial arts of the "Nine Yin Scripture" as well, so the two situations coincided again.
Thirdly, as one of the Five Absolutes, Huang Yaoshi's internal energy is naturally not ordinary, while Tang Xiansheng's internal skill also surpasses Mei Chaojun by a big margin, and the situation of the two still matches.
Most importantly, Tang Xiaosheng also knew the "Orchid Fingers" martial art, and taking all these factors into consideration, Mei Chaofeng was convinced that Tang Xiaosheng was indeed her master Huang Yaoshi.
"Disciple deserves to die, mistakenly took master as an enemy, almost committed the crime of deceiving and overthrowing one's ancestors, please master forgive!" Mei Chao Feng knelt down with both knees, lowering her head in deep self-reproach.
Tang Xiaosheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced sideways and found that Mei Chaojun seemed to be playing for real, truly taking him for Huang Yaoshi.
At this time, Mei Chaofeng was completely unguarded. If Tang Xiaosheng wanted to attack her, it shouldn't be difficult. However, if he really made a move, it would have a somewhat guilty conscience, because based on Huang Yaoshi's identity, it is unlikely that he would do something as despicable as sneak attacking in front of his own disciple.
Tang Xiao Sheng also wanted to inquire about Huang Rong's whereabouts from Mei Chao Feng. Since he had now become Mei Chao Feng's master by mistake, this was a piece of information that could be utilized. Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the situation and temporarily impersonate Huang Yaoshi.
Mei Chaofeng stole the "Nine Yin Manual" from Huang Yaoshi and escaped Peach Blossom Island, which is considered a betrayal of her sect. Therefore, Huang Yaoshi would not give her a good look. In addition, Huang Yaoshi has a bit of an evil temper by nature, even if he had already forgiven her in his heart, his face would still not show it.
Taking all this into consideration, Tang Xiao Sheng's face suddenly sank and he coldly snorted, saying: "I am not your master!"
"Chao Feng knows her guilt is deep, and doesn't dare to hope for Master's forgiveness, only asking Master to grant his disciple a quick death!" Although Mei Chao Feng bore the infamous name of betraying her sect, she had always felt guilty towards her master Huang Yao Shi. Obtaining Huang Yao Shi's forgiveness became her greatest wish in the second half of her life, and even her only wish.
"Your death is your business, what does it have to do with me?" Tang Xiao Sheng still had a gloomy face and said coldly.
"Master's teachings are correct, the disciple has deviated from the classics and committed a crime that cannot be forgiven. If Master were to take action, wouldn't it tarnish Master's hands? Forgive me for my disobedience, I'll leave first!" As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Chao Feng suddenly moved his right hand, spreading his five fingers into a claw shape, and with a swift motion, was about to scratch his own head!
Seeing that she was about to commit suicide, Tang Xiaosheng quickly grabbed her right wrist and stopped her in time: "Do you think that killing yourself can solve all the problems?"
Mei Chaojun's life or death didn't matter much to Tang Xiaosheng, he just needed him to find Huang Rong, if Mei really died, the clue would be cut off.
"Master!"
Mie Chongfeng saw that Tang Xiaosheng did not allow her to die, and her heart suddenly warmed up. She had always thought that Huang Yaoshi would never forgive her, even if she killed herself, Huang Yaoshi's eyelids might not even flicker. Now, Tang Xiaosheng actually didn't let her kill herself, in Mie Chongfeng's view, it seemed that Huang Yaoshi still cherished the old master-disciple relationship in his heart, and she was also overjoyed.
However, Tang Xiao Sheng didn't think that much. He saw that Mei Chao Feng already had suicidal thoughts and might do something irrational at any moment, so he decided to quickly ask about Huang Rong's news. After a pause, he asked: "I'm asking you, do you have any news of Rong'er?"
Seeing Tang Xiaosheng willing to talk to her, Mei Chaofeng didn't dare to be slow and hurriedly said: "Master, please rest assured, Rong'er is fine."
Tang Xiaosheng knew that Huang Rong seemed to have really crossed over and asked: "Rong'er, where are you now?"
"Reporting back to Master, Rong'er was previously in an orphanage, then sent to a mental hospital, and is now at the disciple's home." Mei Chao Feng stated truthfully.
Although Mei Chaojun didn't elaborate, Tang Xiaosheng was still able to guess the general situation. According to her account, Huang Rong's soul should have been transmigrated into a child in an orphanage, and then due to the fusion of two souls' memories, she became mentally disordered and was sent to a mental hospital.
Xiao Long Nu and Guo Xiang have been mentally disordered for nearly six months after crossing over. Tang Xiao Sheng also doesn't know how long Huang Rong has been crossing over, so he asks again: "Rong'er's current mental state is okay?"
"Rest assured, Master," replied Mei Chao Feng. "Rong Er's consciousness had basically recovered three months ago. Last month, I sent her to the number one kindergarten in Jinghua City for schooling."
"Kindergarten?"
