Chapter 135 - Chapter 05 Unfamiliar Faces

Cao Wenyan stood on the dock overlooking the Yangtze River. The disciples he had brought were loading the ship. He looked at the surrounding area and didn't know which village in Jiangnan had Mu Dishi lived in before his death.

Cao Yanmei stood up from behind and looked at her brother. She asked, "Ge, are you thinking about Mu Dishi?"

Cao Wenyan, "I just want to know when he is still alive, which village in Jiangnan he lived in."

Cao Yanmei, "Mu Dishi is a mystery man. When he was alive, he didn't have any contact with anyone. I'm sure he have no friends or family to even care if he alive or dead." She realized that her words might hurt her brother. "However, he is lucky to have someone like you who still mourning for him."

Cao Wenyan, "Yanmei, why do you dislike Mu gongzi?"

Cao Yanmei said, "There are many reasons why I don't like him. I think my reasons are the same as those of father, and the reasons of others."

Cao Wenyan, "You don't like him because of what others said about him. You didn't try to get to know him. If you know him, Mu gongzi is just an ordinary person who wants to be alone."

Cao Yanmei, "Ge, is not like you didn't tried to save him. You spent twenty five days digging for his corpse but it is an impossible task. Without water a person will be dead within seven to eight days, so don't be too hard on yourself."

Cao Yanmei looked at Cao Wenyan and felt sorry for her brother. She knew that Cao Wenyan loved Mu Dishi very much. She looked at her brother, "Ge…If I say something that offends you, please forgive me. I know you love Mu Dishi, but the dead cannot be resurrected. I believe there will be someone for you and you will like that person as much as you like Mu Dishi."

Cao Wenyan patted on Cao Yanmei's head lightly, "Silly girl, Mu gongzi is a person, not an item. He is irreplaceable."

One disciple approached Cao Wenyan and Cao Yanmei, "Young master, everything is loaded and ready."

Cao Wenyan and Yanmei got on the ship. The small ship began to sail into the open water, towards the middle of the river. After two hours of sailing, five workers drew their swords and began to attack the crew members and Beixing Sector disciples.

One of the disciples was kicked in front of Cao Wenyan and Cao Yanmei.

Li Jiang said loudly, "We don't want to kill anyone, we just want the goodies in this ship." He pointed at Cao Wenyan with a sword. "You." He stared at Cao Wenyan. "You must be the master of these goodies. I won't hurt you, but these goodies belong to me now."

Cao Yanmei giggled and said, "Ge, I think the fish will be very happy tonight because theirs belly will be full of human flesh."

Li Jin, "Little Miss, don't be too arrogant."

Cao Yanmei, "I think you are more arrogant than me because you dare to snatch things from the Cao household."

Li Jin, "Cao household, is nothing when compare to our boss."

Cao Wenyan smiled and said, "Who would it be?"

Li Jin said, "Mu Dishi."

Cao Yanmei, "You do know that Mu Dishi died inside Mu treasure cave close to a year now."

Li Jin, "How could he died? We have just met each other not long ago."

Cao Wenyan said, "Take me to see him, everything in this ship is yours." He smiled at the five people. "But if you lie to me, the fish in the Yangtze River tonight will be full with human flesh."

The small ship docked at the same pier, and Cao Wenyan and Cao Yanmei followed the five people to the pier. Seven people looked around the dock, none of them resembled Mu Dishi.

Cao Wenyan looked at the five men angrily, "Where is Mu Dishi?"

Cao Yanmei said, "You have to choose the next word carefully, because it may be your last."

Li Jin began to panic, because these two people were different from those he had met before. He said, "He's here? I swear."

Cao Wenyan stared at Li Jin bitterly. He rushed forward, grabbed Li Jin's neck by surprise, and twisted his neck. He angrily said, "How dare you lie to me?"

Li Jiang rushed towards Cao Wenyan with a sword. Li Jiang's sword swung twice, but in these two times, Cao Wenyan quickly avoided, and Li Jiang's sword could not hit Cao Wenyan.

The ten disciples standing on the dock shot arrows at the three men. As soon as Li Jiang turned around, all his brothers died on the ground. When Li Jiang pounced on Cao Wenyan again, Cao Wenyan shot two needles at Li Jiang. The two needles flew directly into Li Jiang's eyes.

Cao Wenyan walked to Li Jiang whose bled heavily from his eyes and knelt on the ground. Cao Wenyan said, "If the person you see is really Mu Dishi, you would have been blind already." He raised his hand, but was stopped by Cao Yanmei.

Cao Yanmei said, "Ge, let him live like this." She smirked. "I really want to see how he could rob others being a blind man."

For many years, the vendor owner who witnessed the two brothers robbed many people was satisfied with the punishment of the two strangers. He said, "The one he was quarreling with just now went with Yongzheng." He pointed out the direction.

Cao Wenyan quickly gave way to the vendor owner. He asked, "Does he have a person named Ma Jingguo with him?"

The vendor owner said, "No, just him and Yongzheng."

Cao Yanmei asked confusedly, "Who is Yongzheng?"

Cao Wenyan rushed in the direction pointed by the vendor owner.

As soon as Cao Wenyan walked out of the street, he saw Mu Dishi sitting on the steps in front of an inn. His long black hair with light green clothes waving in the air. He rushed over and grabbed the man's left arm.

A man suddenly grabbed his arm, and Xue Horan was startled. He pulled his arm away, "What are you doing?" He quickly moved away from the man and the woman.

Seeing that the other party was not Mu Dishi, Cao Wenyan slowly stood up with disappointment. He looked at the young man and said, "You do look so much like him."

Cao Yanmei said, "Ge, let take him back with us. If you miss Mu Dishi, you can look at him from behind."

Cao Wenyan, "Nonsenses. Mu gongzi is irreplaceable."

Cao Yanmei said, "Well, if you don't want him, I will take him back to be my toy."

Cao Yanmei reached out to Xue Horan. Xue Horan quickly got up, grabbed his sword, and swung his sword at Cao Yanmei.

Cao Yanmei smirked, "I like this toy." She drew out her sword and headed towards Xue Horan.

Xue Horan couldn't stand upright because of the pain of the sprained ankle, and hit a pole with his back. He slowly backed away, and saw Yongzheng flying out of the inn, kicking at Cao Yanmei's sword. His other leg waved at Cao Yanmei, and Cao Yanmei was kicked back.

Cao Yanmei said madly, "You stupid stinky Taoist."

Cao Wenyan said, "Yanmei, he is not Mu gongzi, don't waste any more time." He began to walk away.

Cao Yanmei sheathed her sword, "Stinky Taoist, I won't let this go." She hurriedly followed Cao Wenyan back to the dock.

Xue Horan watched the two strange faces drift away. He asked, "Who are they?"

Yongzheng said, "The daughter and son of chief Cao of the Cao Household."

Xue Horan, "Leader Cao? Cao Fengge?"

Yongzheng, "You know chief Cao."

Xue Horan, "I don't know, but my da shixiong know him."
