Chapter 45 What's there to be afraid of if you haven't suffered a loss?
Blackwood Cliff.
Su Ming sat on the throne, holding the delicate Yu Niang in his arms.
Her eyes were filled with longing, and she gazed at Dongfang Bubai with a look that seemed to be dripping with tears.
Since that night, Yu Niang seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and she had special feelings for her master, Dongfang Bubai, who was also a woman.
Whether it was love or infatuation, she couldn't tell.
But I enjoy this strange and exciting feeling.
What is Feiyan doing?
Su Ming casually mentioned it while eating the grapes that Yu Niang handed him.
Yu Niang replied sweetly, "Master, Miss Fei Yan and Miss Yi Lin are practicing their skills. Should I call them over?"
"No need, let them practice their skills properly."
She shook her head and refused.
Then Su Ming instructed, "By the way, you must also practice your skills diligently. You must practice the new technique that I just taught you assiduously."
"Yes, I will obey the Master's every command."
Yu Niang nodded obediently and charmingly.
Just then, Qu Yang hurriedly walked in from outside.
As soon as he entered, he bowed and greeted the leader, saying, "Your subordinate greets the leader."
"No need for formalities."
Su Ming waved his hand and asked, "Elder Qu, is there something you need?"
Qu Yang hurriedly reported: "Reporting to the leader, the brothers guarding Plum Manor in West Lake have sent word that the former leader, Ren Woxing, has escaped from the dungeon."
These words terrified all the believers present.
They all cautiously looked at the Eastern Cult Leader on the throne.
The former leader, Bei Guan, was in the dungeon. Now that he has suddenly come out, will the leader be furious and kill them all?
It's normal for them to be afraid, after all, their leader alone wiped out the Songshan Sect and most of the Shaolin masters.
He was renowned for his ferocity and fame throughout the martial arts world, and even his own followers held him in awe.
Now, upon suddenly hearing that the former head of education has escaped danger, everyone's first reaction is not happiness, but tension, fear, and dread.
"Ren Woxing escaped?"
Su Ming had expected this, and his expression remained unchanged.
She took a sip of the wine that Yu Niang fed her before leisurely asking, "Was it Ren Yingying who, along with others, rescued Ren Woxing?"
Qu Yang trembled and honestly replied, "Reporting to the sect leader, according to the information I have gathered, it was Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying who rescued Ren Woxing together."
"Xiang Wentian, giving him a chance is useless."
Su Ming shook his head and sighed, already sentencing Xiang Wentian to death.
Since they failed to seize the opportunity and then betrayed us, there's nothing more to say.
"How are the brothers and sisters below? Has anyone left to follow Ren Woxing?"
Su Ming asked in a calm tone.
Qu Yang lowered his head and answered truthfully: "Some people were bewitched by Xiang Wentian, and two elders led their men to leave and follow Ren Woxing."
"Very good. Those who remain are the truly loyal to me, and I will never treat you unfairly."
Hearing this, Su Ming was very satisfied.
At least those who remained were people who were willing to follow him and were loyal and would not betray him.
Then we can take these people and give them a windfall of wealth.
"I have decided that once I have dealt with Ren Woxing and his men, I will bestow upon the remaining brothers an immense fortune."
His words ignited the passion of everyone present.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the leader!"
"Master of the East, I am invincible, for all eternity, unrivaled under heaven!"
Everyone worshipped with excitement and fervor.
They clearly prefer to follow a powerful and generous leader.
After all, the Sun Moon Cult has changed after internal restructuring during this period.
Everyone received a large sum of money; they were all incredibly wealthy.
In particular, they looted the Songshan Sect's possessions and even took a layer of oil from the Shaolin Temple. Finally, the imperial court sent a large amount of gold and silver jewelry as a form of amnesty.
Although the cult leader refused to be recruited, he accepted the gifts.
"Pass down the order: if Ren Woxing and his men are found to have attacked Blackwood Cliff, tell the brothers below not to stop them, just let them in."
Su Ming instructed that Ren Woxing should not be stopped.
"By the way, how's the matter of preparing the large ship going?"
He then changed the subject and brought up another matter.
Prepare the big ship!
Qu Yang hurriedly and solemnly replied, "Reporting to the Master, the large ship you asked me to prepare is nearing completion. The Lin family of Fuzhou is willing to build the large ship that the Master desires for us."
"Oh, the Lin family?"
Su Ming seemed thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Lin Zhennan is not bad. Since the Lin family is so cooperative, let's have them cooperate with my Holy Sect."
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Qu Yang hurriedly accepted the order.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, should we send troops now to wipe out Ren Woxing and his group, and strike first?"
"No need," Su Ming waved his hand and said, "Ren Woxing is nothing, he can't cause any trouble. We'll deal with them when they come to us."
"Take most of your brothers out with you, cooperate well with the Lin family, finish building the large ship for the sea as soon as possible, and investigate the intelligence of Fusang."
"Soon, I will lead you to conquer Fusang and establish our empire there."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qu Yang was deeply moved by this proposal.
He went down to prepare, full of anticipation and enthusiasm.
When it comes to conquering Japan, there's absolutely no room for ambiguity.
Upon hearing that the leader was planning to lead them to sea to conquer Japan and establish an empire, everyone on Blackwood Cliff was greatly encouraged and filled with patriotic fervor.
Everyone was eager to get started and trained even harder.
All for the sake of achieving great success and receiving a huge reward.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the Master, three women have arrived at the door, claiming to be Madam Lin Zhennan and Madam Yue Buqun, who have come to pay their respects to the Master."
Soon after, a member of the church rushed over to report the news.
Madam Wang of the Lin family and Ning Zhongze arrived.
"Oh, please come in quickly."
Su Ming became interested.
Both Lin Zhennan's wife and Ning Zhongze were top-tier beauties in the martial arts world.
Unfortunately, this body belongs to a woman.
"Yu Niang, come with me to entertain our distinguished guest."
After saying that, he got up and put his arm around Yu Niang, and the two of them went to the pavilion behind Blackwood Cliff.
Here, he met Madam Wang, who had been brought in, and Ning Zhongze.
A young girl followed behind, none other than Yue Lingshan.
He only glanced at them before focusing his attention on the two mature and beautiful women.
It must be said that both of them have their own strengths.
Although she is over thirty, she exudes an intellectual and mature charm.
This is Cao Cao's favorite.
Surprisingly, Su Ming liked it quite a bit too.
Unfortunately, I'm powerless to do so now, so I can only indulge myself in the role of Dongfang Bubai, a woman.
"Madam Wang, Madam Ning, please take your seats."
With a smile on his face, Su Ming stepped forward and took each of their delicate hands in one hand to welcome them in.
The two beautiful women blushed, feeling rather strange.
They knew for certain that Dongfang Bubai was a woman; women's intuition about other women is the most accurate.
Could it be that Dongfang Bubai is attracted to women?
This thought startled them both, making them blush even more and feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Master, please have some self-respect."
Ning Zhongze blushed and whispered something.
Su Ming reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I am a woman, and so is Lady Ning. We are both free spirits of the martial world, unconcerned with formalities."
"Besides, you won't suffer any losses, so what are you afraid of?"
Dongfang Bubai said in a cool and aloof tone.
Yes, they're all women, so no one is at a disadvantage. What's there to be afraid of?
Ning Zhongze and Madam Wang exchanged a glance, their faces flushed, and said nothing more.
However, what happened next quickly made them realize how hasty and superficial their ideas were.
