Chapter 139: Chapter 091: Entering the Martial World (Part 4)_2
These two sects, one Buddhist and one Taoist, practiced Martial Arts for physical fitness, and were part of the Itinerant World.
Yet, they needed Diplomatic Notes issued by the court to verify their identities, to be subject to the government’s restrictions.
Thus, at times, in order to maintain good relations with the court, these two sects would allow some of their secular disciples to serve in the government or the military.
Some radical figures in the Martial World would call them "henchmen."
In their eyes, people like He Yichong were also lapdogs of the court.
Several elders within the Beggar Gang greatly opposed He Yichong and the Righteous Martial Army he had formed.
Hearing that the Old Sect Leader intended for the Beggar Gang to also be deemed as "traitors" by the Martial World, they firmly resisted.
But the Old Sect Leader’s stance was firm — with Hulu invaders trampling on their doorstep, if the people of the Martial World could not unite to defend the Central Plains, then the Central Plains would indeed be in peril.
If the Central Plains were lost, where would these so-called Martial World people go to establish new sects and recruit disciples?!
Eventually, the Beggar Gang split into two:
Two-thirds of the members followed the Old Sect Leader and formed the New Beggar Gang;
One-third followed the several radical elders, claiming to be the orthodox Beggar Gang!
The Old Sect Leader split the Beggar Gang, although it was for national righteousness, still felt he had betrayed the past Old Sect Leaders; furthermore, old injuries resurfaced, leading to his death.
Before his passing, he entrusted the New Beggar Gang to He Yichong and his wife.
He Yichong, being the commander of the Righteous Martial Army, had nearly stepped fully into official service and was not suitable to lead any Martial World faction.
Thus, his wife, Tian Dan, became the new Gang Leader.
While He Yichong built his reputation and his wife followed him, Kang Yimo was not so fortunate.
He continued his adventures in the Itinerant World.
But the Itinerant World is full of dangers, and due to some misunderstandings, he clashed with Wuyou Island, ultimately dying in the island’s Serpent Array, leaving behind only his wife and son.
At the time, He Yichong was still in Hu Yang’s military; receiving the news, he was unable to leave immediately, so he asked Tian Dan to make arrangements for his Junior Brother’s orphaned child.
Coincidentally, Tian Dan was pregnant at the time and couldn’t travel thousands of miles, so she arranged for disciples of the New Beggar Gang to help.
However, in those chaotic times, Kang Yimo’s wife, being an ordinary woman who knew neither Martial Arts nor the customs of the Itinerant World and only knew that her husband had offended people, feared retaliation and hid with her young son in a small mountain village.
The mother and son truly suffered a lot.
Later, Hu Yang died in battle, the Hu Family Army disbanded, and the disciples of the New Beggar Gang finally located the mother and son.
He Yichong, able to ignore managing the Righteous Martial Army for the moment, came personally to find them.
By that time, Kang Yimo’s wife had died of illness, leaving the young Kang Shenxing struggling to survive.
Seeing his Junior Brother’s orphan, close as his own sibling, He Yichong was filled with both guilt and heartache.
He was an honest man with a strong sense of duty, always feeling that he hadn’t taught his Junior Brother properly, letting him become overly aggressive and contentious, which ultimately led to enemies and a tragic end without a whole corpse.
The Junior Brother, sensing his own danger, had written to him for help before dying; failing to save his Junior Brother was one thing, but not being able to find his widow and son in time was another.
This negligence caused his sister-in-law to die in poverty from illness.
His well-to-do nephew had also become a petty thief.
He Yichong, holding Kang Shenxing’s hand, wept bitterly and even named him "Shenxing," then brought him back to Xiang City.
He Yichong was ridden with guilt, but Tian Dan felt somewhat uneasy.
Originally, she could not personally search for the Kang mother and son due to her pregnancy, but she had still exerted effort, resulting in a premature birth.
Giving birth had caused Tian Dan considerable suffering.
She did not blame anyone, but she genuinely harbored little affection for the Kang Family.
Tian Dan was not a magnanimous or tender person; in her eyes, except for her "Brother Chong," no one else mattered.
She would not suffer for anyone.
After being backtalked to a few times by the rebellious Kang Shenxing, Tian Dan grew impatient. Coincidentally, at this time, He Yichong was busy gathering the remnants of the Hu Family Army to form the Righteous Martial Army and really had no time to teach Kang Shenxing.
Tian Dan then suggested, "Brother Chong, both you and Junior Brother Kang are disciples of Carefree Manor, and were brilliantly taught, clearly by elders of high Martial Arts capability and exemplary behavior."
"Counting it up, Shenxing is also a junior of Carefree Manor. Why not send him back to the manor, let those elders properly educate him!"
He Yichong, feeling himself pulled in too many directions and truly lacking the time to educate his nephew,
hearing Tian Dan’s suggestion, deeply felt it was reasonable.
