Chapter 219 Fetching Water from Bamboo Basket
Although all this was just as Chu Qing expected, Chu Qing still almost laughed out loud when he heard Ye Feifan's shameless words.

Ye Feifan now thinks of himself as a passing expert, and is not clear about the whole story, so he plans to fool himself in order to save his life.

But where in the world can such a cheap thing be found?

Chu Qing sneered:
"Oh? As you said, you are just a servant of the Chen family, and your words don't count.

"Why would Shen Juke, a great hero like Jing Lan, need a servant like you to help him bear false witness?
"Does this sound credible to you?"

Ye Feifan said quickly:
“Senior, you may not know that this matter is just a coincidence.

“At that time, I was found among the corpses by the people from the Fiery Hall… Shen Juke and the people from the Fiery Hall searched the entire Chen family.

"When they found out I was still alive, they wanted to wait until I woke up and ask who the attacker was.

"After that, the people from the Fiery Hall went to investigate elsewhere. When I woke up, I happened to run into Shen Juke who had returned.

"When I saw him, I wanted to report him, but Shen Juke threatened me that if I dared to report him, he would kill me directly!

“Seeing that I was hesitant, he said, ‘I’m just a servant, my words don’t count. Even if I tell them, the people in the Fiery Hall may not believe me.

"He can just say that I was frightened and stupid, and I'm just making random accusations... I don't think the Fiery Hall will offend Shen Juke because of this."

At this point, he said with a sad face:
"I was still young and timid at that time, and I didn't dare to do it when he threatened me.

“But I was also afraid that he would kill me afterwards… So, I begged him to accept me as his disciple, thinking that when I became a martial artist with great martial arts skills, I would avenge the Chen family.

"And if I became his disciple, he would not take my life so easily..."

This sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but there are so many things to explore.

Chu Qing knew that his words were not entirely true, but he did not delve into it and just said:

"So, you became his disciple just like that? It's been ten years now?
"How come you have been living in peace for the past ten years, but tonight he suddenly wants to kill you?"

"It's not that he suddenly wanted to kill me tonight...but he has been wanting to kill me for the past ten years."

There was bitterness in Ye Feifan's voice:

"I dare not lie to you, Senior. For the past ten years, I have lived like walking on thin ice in the Shen family. I have been very careful at all times, fearing that I would make any mistakes and give Shen Juke an excuse to kill me.

"In fact, if I hadn't discovered a secret of his later, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"What secret?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Ye Feifan hesitated for a moment when he heard Chu Qing ask this, but then he made up his mind and said in a deep voice:

"Shen Juke secretly joined the Nie Jing Tai and is now a killer in the Nie Jing Tai!"

"what?"

Chu Qing's shock was just right.

The main thing is that it contains some true feelings.

In fact, since Liu Sanniang was able to find the branch of Nie Jingtai, Chu Qing suspected that there might be some connection between Shen Juke and Nie Jingtai.

But who would have thought that the great hero Jinglan would actually join the Niejingtai and become an assassin?
What kind of people are hiding under the mask of the evil mirror?

"If you don't believe me, I have evidence."

Ye Feifan reached into his arms and took out a few letters.

However, these letters were not complete. They were obviously snatched from the brazier. The most complete letter was the one in which Shen Juke and his contact discussed the assassination plan.

After Chu Qing read them one by one, he said in a deep voice:
"These letters have no beginning or end, so I'm afraid they can hardly serve as evidence."

“What the senior said is correct, but we can compare the handwriting, it is exactly Shen Juke’s handwriting.

"I have another letter here, a letter he wrote to Pingqiujian Li Hanguang.

"The two of them also met in the martial arts world and have some personal connections with each other. Senior, you can take a look at the handwriting of this letter and compare it."

Ye Feifan took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing compared the handwriting and found that they were indeed identical.

Ye Feifan said:

"I have been able to survive all these years because of the evidence I have.

“You can tear off the mask of the hero Jing Lan!
"He was very cautious about me and didn't dare to attack me easily... However, a big event happened in the palace during this period of time.

"I guess Shen Juke is crazy after all."

"What's the big deal?"

"The woman he wanted to get at the cost of killing the entire Chen family... left him."

When Ye Feifan said this, his expression was a little strange:
“You probably couldn’t have imagined that Shen Juke, a great hero like Jinglan, would do such a cruel thing just for a woman.

"It can be said that beauty is a disaster... The woman that Chen Sheng, the eldest son of the Chen family, fell in love with was the main reason for the extinction of his Chen family.

“I don’t know if the eldest master would still marry her if he knew about this.

"For the past ten years, she has been fawning on Shen Juke.

“But I didn’t expect that just after ten years, he threatened to leave the Shen family with his life.

"Shen Juke actually took the threat seriously... but ever since that woman left, he has seemed to have gone crazy, and his temperament has become unpredictable.

“Although I know that he seems to be kind and righteous but is actually despicable, he has always disguised himself well.

“But after that woman left, he didn’t even bother pretending.

"He vented his anger all the time, and several servants were beaten to death by him for inexplicable reasons.

"I knew then that the things I had were no longer enough to keep me alive.

“How can a madman be threatened by others?

“And over the years, he has never really taught me anything… As a result, my martial arts skills are mediocre and not enough to avenge the Chen family.

“That’s why…that’s why I fled in a hurry when they wanted to kill me tonight.

"If it weren't for the good fortune of Yao Tian, ​​and if Senior hadn't saved me, I would have definitely died tonight!!"

Ye Feifan’s words are true and false, but some of them match up.

At least, the extermination of the Chen family ten years ago was indeed caused by Shen Juke.

Chu Qing groaned for a moment and said softly:
"Are there other people who know about what happened back then?"

"Gone……"

Ye Feifan smiled bitterly:
“Besides the scattered visitors who were frightened out of their wits, there were four main witnesses including the younger generation.

“But over the past ten years, Shen Juke has silenced them in various ways.

"The owner of Yulinlou and his entire family were killed by bandits.

“This matter was personally presided over by the eldest brother, and it was done very cleanly.

"The second son of Hongfa Bank was killed by the Mandarin Duck Evil Twins. On the surface, it was said that the rapist wanted to take his concubine... In fact, they were husband and wife.

“And these two people were ‘slain and exorcised’ by Hero Jinglan seven years ago.

"The only one who was a little clever was the owner of Zhang's Cloth Shop... When his family fell into poverty, he discovered something was wrong and fled ahead of time.

"But he was still unwilling to give up, and finally made a stupid mistake. Together with the eldest son of the Chen family, who was still alive at the time, he went to the Liehuo Hall to overturn the old case.

"But I didn't expect that Shen Juke would turn the tables on me.

"In the end, he was hit on the head and thrown into a pack of wild dogs by my second senior brother. They bit him to death... their bodies were torn to pieces."

"Great, great, great hero Jing Lan!" Chu Qing's voice was a little cold:

“I didn’t expect such cruel means.

"Boy, I'll give you a chance to take revenge, are you willing?"

"Junior is willing!!"

Ye Feifan nodded immediately:
"If I can avenge my old master, I'm willing to do anything."

It's rare... He still doesn't forget to establish his character at this juncture.

Chu Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"In two days, it will be Mr. Shen's 44th birthday.

"In the past few days, many people have come to celebrate the birthday of Hero Jinglan... The place will surely be packed with guests!
"I want you to sneak into the venue on the day of the meeting, expose this person's evil deeds, and announce them to the world!!"

Shen Juke is well-known, and his golden signboard of four words "Jinglan Hero" is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It would not be difficult to just kill him, but killing him like this would be too easy for him.

He must pay the price for what he has done and the truth must be made known to the world, only then can it bring some comfort to those who are suffering.

Otherwise, even if he died, people would still remember the unparalleled benevolent and righteous hero Jinglan.

Rather than an executioner who slaughtered the entire Chen family for his own selfish reasons!

Therefore, Chu Qing had to make him die clearly and completely.

Ye Feifan's face changed drastically:

“Senior, you don’t know that, let alone entering the Shen family again, even if I step into Fanjing City again, I will definitely die.

"You...you're asking me to die?"

"Since I dare to say so, I will naturally find a way to save your life."

Chu Qing snorted coldly:
"If you don't even dare to do this, how can you say you want to avenge your old master?"

"This……"

Ye Feifan hesitated for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay, I am willing!"

"Hahaha, good, good, you are great."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

“Not forgetting the old master is a sign of loyalty and righteousness.

"I have been in the martial arts world for quite some time, but I don't have a successor to my martial arts skills...

"I don't think Mr. Shen has really taught you any superior martial arts.

"I am very pleased to see that you are so loyal and righteous. After this is over, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Ye Feifan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed:

"Junior is willing, junior is willing!!"

"Okay, enjoy it."

Chu Qing nodded:

"In that case, follow me to Fanjing City first. I will arrange a hiding place for you."

Ye Feifan stood up immediately:
"The younger generation leads the horses for the older generation."

"It's not necessary."

Chu Qing stretched out his hand, and Ye Feifan suddenly felt an irresistible force on his body, and his body fell into Chu Qing's palm involuntarily.

I was shocked for a moment.

Although he took Shen Juke as his teacher, Shen Juke never really treated him as a disciple.

As he had little knowledge and mediocre martial arts skills, how could he have seen such a method?
But the next moment, Chu Qing was already carrying him and flying towards Fan Jing City.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like a fleeting glimpse. The surrounding scenery kept receding along the way, making Ye Feifan's heart tremble uncontrollably.

What kind of master is this?

What kind of martial arts is this?

I served under Shen Juke for ten years, sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, but it was not for revenge for the Chen family.

In the Chen family, he was just a servant. Even if he was about to die of hunger and cold and was picked up by the Chen family and given a meal, it was not worth it for him to risk his life for it.

The reason why he pretended to be friendly with Shen Juke was not only to find a way to make a living, but also to make a name for himself one day!

Today I finally met a true master!
After Shen Juke dies, I will become his disciple and learn the peerless martial arts. Wouldn't it be possible to rise to prominence? From then on, I will be the best in the world! ?
I was so excited that I didn’t even care about the risks I might have to take next.

And all the questions that he might have thought of were ignored by him.

With such huge benefits in sight, how can one care about anything else?
However, in the blink of an eye, they arrived at Fanjing City. Chu Qing took Ye Feifan and flew directly over the city wall, which made Ye Feifan amazed.

However, Chu Qing's method of settling Ye Feifan was somewhat simple and crude.

I just found an abandoned house with no one in it and threw it in.

He told him not to go out for the next few days and just to wait quietly in the house, and he would prepare all the food for him.

Ye Feifan asked:

"Won't the seniors be with the juniors?"

Chu Qing shook his head:

"I still have some personal matters to attend to, so just wait here...

"But in case you are bored, I will teach you three sword techniques first."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger like a sword and with a flick of his finger, there was a clang and Ye Feifan's sword was already in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he used three sword moves in a flash. Although Ye Feifan's martial arts skills were mediocre, he had a solid foundation after all. He knew at a glance that the sword skills Chu Qing used were many times more advanced than what he knew.

He quickly memorized the sword moves and planned to practice hard during his free time so that he could let his senior know his qualifications later.

Chu Qing showed him three sword techniques and repeated them twice before returning the sword to Ye Feifan:

"You must remember these three sword techniques firmly, stay here steadily, practice martial arts attentively, and wait for the right opportunity."

"Yes."

Ye Feifan nodded repeatedly, and after watching Chu Qing leave, he began to pick up the sword and try it out impatiently.

He did have some talent, and soon he had mastered the swordsmanship quite well. However, for some reason, the swordsmanship seemed extremely mysterious when performed by Chu Qing.

But when it came into my hands, it was inexplicably mediocre.

Ye Feifan didn’t think this was a problem with his swordsmanship, but rather his own problem.

It was because his sword skills were not yet perfect, or he had not grasped the true meaning of it... He immediately practiced harder.

This made Chu Qing, who was standing on the roof observing him, couldn't help but want to laugh.

This cunning guy would never have dreamed that the reason why he felt that these three sword techniques were mediocre was not because he had not grasped the true meaning, but because these three sword techniques were truly mediocre.

What Chu Qing taught him was actually the Tai Chi Sword Technique, which emphasized intention rather than form. Chu Qing controlled form with intention, which was naturally mysterious and endless.

But Chu Qing never explained the true meaning to him, leaving him to focus on the form and forget about the meaning, and to remember the sword moves firmly... That would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, and naturally every move would be empty-handed.
