Chapter 144 Wuseong (2)
‘Master Museong… it must be him.’
Gu Yangjeok recalled Baek Danhyun’s repeated warnings.
As the former guardian monk of Shaolin Temple, his martial arts were exceptionally formidable, and he was said to command the support of many monks.
In terms of influence alone, he was certainly no less than the current abbot, Master Munjeong.
That such a figure would appear in this situation…
Gu Yangji concealed his presence as much as possible, sprinkling ashes he had gathered during his cleaning earlier over his monk’s robe to mask his scent.
‘Now that Master Musheng has appeared, I should be able to hear the full story of what happened.’
The reason he had called Yu Zhangming to request a friendly sparring match would likely become clear through Master Musheng.
Gu Yangjie cautiously pressed his ear against the outer wall of the Great Hall.

“Abbot, what on earth is going on here!”
Seeing Master Musung unusually flushed, Master Munjeong tilted his head in confusion.
“Didn’t Senior Brother send word via messenger?”
“……?”
“Didn’t Senior Brother himself instruct us to summon Young Master Yu of the Huashan Sect for a friendly sparring match, and use the outcome to dilute the conflict between our sects?”
At those words, Master Wuseong instantly looked flustered and shook his head vigorously.
“I never sent a letter with such content!”
“…….”
Hearing this, Master Munjeong frowned in confusion.
“You’re saying you didn’t send the letter via the novice monk?”
