Chapter 239 The Person to be Killed
Chapter 239 The Person to be Killed
The four looked at each other for a long time, and were speechless for a moment.
After a while, Chu Qing reached out and brushed the snow off her shoulders, and spoke softly:
"How have you been these days?"
"not too good."
Wu Qianhuan stared at Chu Qing:
"Something happened to Chu Tian."
Saying such things at a time like this is really a downer.
But Wu Qianhuan couldn't help but say it.
She said in a deep voice:
"I followed Wuchan's trail all the way north, but I heard that he died in your hands..."
Chu Qing looked at her red lips slightly opened, and suddenly reached out and held her chin.
He gently pressed his thumb on her lips, causing Wu Qianhuan to be slightly stunned.
“Although I have never seen the [Moon-Pointing Mysterious Art], I have seen your senior brother Zuo Wenchuan’s [Great Sun Mysterious Art].
“This method is grand and upright.
"[Moon-Pointing Mysterious Art] is as famous as it, and you have been able to improve to this level in such a short period of time... Have you left any hidden dangers?"
Wu Qianhuan was stunned, and pulled Chu Qing's hand away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Wuchan is not dead."
Chu Qing said:
"Chu Tian...should not be dead either."
"what?"
Wu Qianhuan was stunned: "But I heard..."
"What you heard was fake news I spread."
Chu Qing raised his eyes and looked towards the charity cemetery, and said softly:
“The two people beside me, one is Miss Wenrou from Luochen Villa, and the other one… is Wuchan.
"He was hit by the Bone-Dissolving Palm, and I entrusted this martial art to Chu Fan when we were at Luochen Villa, and sent it back to Tianwu City."
At this point, Wu Qianhuan already understood:
“So, when Senior Brother Zuo saw Wu Chan injured, he was actually injured by Brother Chu Tian?
"But... from what I know, the two of them fought all the way, so isn't it natural that Wuchan got hurt?"
Chu Qing sighed softly and repeated what Wu Chan had said that day.
After hearing this, Wu Qianhuan was completely confused.
After a while, she took a breath:
"Brother Chu Tian used Wu Chan's name to fake his death. Could it be that he wanted to..."
Having said that, she looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing smiled bitterly:
"A troublesome brother, and a not-so-simple mirror.
"My elder brother has always been smart and clever. Since he can't help me openly, he simply erased his identity from the underworld."
“…It’s too dangerous.”
Wu Qianhuan frowned.
Chu Qing nodded:
“This is the helplessness of being out of reach. If I were still in Tianwu City, I would never let him act so rashly.
“However, they executed first and reported later… No, they didn’t report at all.
"If I hadn't happened to meet Wuchan, I wouldn't even have discovered the mystery."
"But considering your personality... I'm surprised that someone like Wuchan can still live beside you."
Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing, thoughts welling up in her eyes.
Chu Qing wanted to explain, but Wu Qianhuan held his hand:
"I believe you, you will naturally have your reasons."
"This monk... is quite pitiful."
When Chu Qing thought of Wu Chan, he felt helpless. He was angry at him for not fighting back, but also felt sad for his miserable experience.
But in reality, good people always have concerns of one kind or another.
This has been a common problem for a long time...
Some gentlemen with good natures cannot tolerate the disputes in the world because they neither have the carefreeness to laugh at the world and take revenge, nor can they bear the consequences of causing harm to others because of their own affairs.
In the end, they couldn't afford to offend anyone and could only hide... They called it retiring from the world.
If such a person is not involved in any major incident, he can still enjoy himself for a while. But once he is involved in something, it will be just like what the Blood Prince said...
You said you wanted to retire? Have you asked the martial arts world if they are willing?
Once you enter the world, you are always forced to do things your own way.
Wu Chan is basically such a person. His mentor died and he wanted to take revenge, but he had concerns.
The final decision was to execute only the main culprit.
But in fact, how could the Vajra Sect be innocent in this matter?
If Master Huiji's master had not let this happen, how could he have said such words to Master Huiji?
If it weren't for the tacit approval of the then-leader of the Vajra Sect, how could such a major event have been let go in such a muddle?
That was originally a conspiracy by the entire Vajra Sect against their master and disciples...
Wu Chan knew this.
He just pretended not to know. Could he really let Chu Qing wipe out the entire King Kong Sect?
He may not care whether the Vajra Gate exists or not, but how innocent are the people who depend on the Vajra Gate?
This is his concern.
Very unrestrained...
But as an outsider, Chu Qing insisted on asking a monk who had been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures all his life and had endured a bad reputation for twenty years without any resentment to learn to be free and easy. This was really asking too much.
But perhaps it is precisely because Wuchan is such a person.
Therefore, he did not understand why Chu Tian used him to fake his death and escape from the world.
Even if everyone in the world said that he killed Chu Tian, he did not refute it. He just nagged Chu Qing "I never kill" when he occasionally thought of it.
Wu Qianhuan didn't know the details, but she believed Chu Qing.
Although she was still worried about Chu Tian, since this was Chu Tian's own plan, her current situation was the same as Chu Qing's, out of reach... and she couldn't do anything, and dared not act rashly.
But fortunately, now that 'Wuchan' is dead, some things can no longer be proven.
Even if Nie Jingtai came to Chu Qing for verification, there would be no results.
Chu Qing even asked Beitang Zun to cover up the identity of "Chen Wu". If they investigated, they could clearly find out the life of this person.
But the details could not be investigated.
After all, unless the information has been prepared long ago, who can know every detail?
Chu Qing reached out and took Wu Qianhuan's wrist at this time, and Wu Qianhuan subconsciously shrank back.
When he found that he couldn't get it back, he could only say softly:
"The meridians are damaged a bit... but it just means that you can no longer practice [Moon Fingering Mysterious Art] for a period of time. You don't need to worry."
Chu Qing frowned slightly:
“The damage to the meridians can be major or minor, and it needs to be healed as soon as possible.
“I know that in the territory of Tiexuetang, there is a Yin-Yang hermit who is a master of the medical field.
"If that doesn't work, I'll take you there..."
"what?"
Wu Qianhuan quickly waved her hands:
"Wait, wait, we are almost out of the Fiery Hall. How long will it take to go back to the Iron Blood Hall? Don't you have anything else to do?
"Why are you heading north?"
Chu Qing picked at his fingers and said:
“There’s a sword-granting ceremony going on at Tai Heng Clan, and I have to go.
"Ling Beichen's ashes must be sent back...
“Moreover, there may be traces of the Evil Mirror Platform on the other side of Tai Heng Gate, so we really can’t miss it.
“The Nanling Martial Arts Contest of Tianyi Sect will be held in half a year, so there is no need to rush. During this period, I need to go to Lingbei, first to Xiaohan Valley, and then to Tianyin Mansion to deliver a letter.
"Besides, the most urgent matter is the Blood Prince..."
"Blood Prince?" Wu Qianhuan blinked:
"I heard that you once killed the Tomb Prince in Tianji Valley. Who is this Blood Prince?"
"One of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Tianxie Cult."
Chu Qing sighed:
“In fact, I didn’t kill the Tomb Prince. What was inside the Tianji Valley at that time was just the Tomb Prince’s body in the tomb.
"Their Tianxie Cult has the 'Seven Secrets, Three Treasures and Six Mysterious Sects', which contain all the world-shaking martial arts.
"The [Funeral Song] of the Tomb Prince, the [Cloud and Rain Order] of the Plum Prince, the [Thread Pulling Play] of the Drama Prince, the [Blood Demon Scripture] of the Blood Prince... no matter which one it is, it is extraordinary.
“Not long ago, the Blood Prince used the alias Feng Xiaoyu and played me.
"Luckily, Wenrou was by my side and found this guy... In the end, I discovered his identity and we had a fight.
"Although I severely injured him, I did not succeed in killing him. He is now on the run and is very likely to have left the territory of the Fiery Flame Hall and entered the territory of the Tai Heng Sect."
"【Blood Demon Scripture】!"
Wu Qianhuan's expression suddenly became serious.
She personally experienced the battle in Tianwu City. She had seen Chu Yan fight Chu Qing with the [Blood Demon Sutra] and kill each other. At that time, she could do nothing but watch.
Now, she could help...but Chu Qing has changed his opponent.
Chu Yan was just a small follower of the Tianxie Cult, but now Chu Qing was facing the Blood Prince who possessed the complete [Blood Demon Sutra].
Listening to Chu Qing's description of the various miraculous powers of the [Blood Demon Sutra], she felt that the Blood Prince was simply impossible to kill.
As long as there are people, the Blood Prince can absorb blood infinitely. Her blood shadow can be easily moved to any place, making it impossible to defend against.
Even if she suffered a fatal injury, she could recover in an instant.
How should we kill such a person?
How high is Chu Qing's martial arts? He can fight against this almost immortal person and seriously injure him!
She has been strong-willed since she was young, but now she inevitably looks a little depressed.
Chu Qing looked down at her and knew what she was thinking, and said softly:
"That's enough. You have such martial arts skills that you can protect yourself by my side...
"Moreover, even if you don't go to Yin Yang Forest to find the Yin Yang Monk, I will try to help you recover as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will help you practice, and maybe you can make rapid progress?"
Wu Qianhuan blinked and glanced at Chu Qing:
"You're making rapid progress... What? Have you found a way to practice dual cultivation?"
"Here, if you want, I can look for it."
"Chu Qing...don't act like a rogue!"
Wu Qianhuan's words in a low voice made Chu Qing feel dazed for a moment.
It has been a long time since anyone called me by this name.
He exhaled lightly and held Wu Qianhuan's hand:
"However, your face still needs to be changed... Wenrou is currently using the 'Painted Skin' from the Evil Mirror. I got three of these. How about giving you one?"
"Are you afraid that my identity will be recognized and your identity will be exposed?"
Wu Qianhuan glanced at Chu Qing with a half-smile.
Chu Qing nodded, but then shook his head:
"You're too pretty. If you walk beside me like this, I'll have to endure too much hostility... It doesn't fit our standard of keeping a low profile."
Wu Qianhuan blushed again:
"When did you become so talkative?"
The two people hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they stood under a tree, watching the snow falling and chatting casually.
There are too many things to talk about, and they are too diverse. I always feel like there are endless things I want to say to each other.
Time passed by unknowingly.
It was not until Hua Jinnian called out "Third Brother" and asked them to come out that the two men realized that they had been out for almost an hour.
Looking at the hand still held by Chu Qing, Wu Qianhuan subconsciously wanted to pull it out.
"No need to hide it."
A single man and a single woman would be alone together for an hour.
Hua Jinnian called out "Third Brother" obviously to remind Chu Qing to avoid seeing anything he shouldn't see.
Chu Qing didn't intend to hide it too much and was just open and honest.
But even so, when Hua Jinnian stood outside the charity cemetery and looked at the two people standing hand in hand and chatting under the tree, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
Wu Qianhuan's face became thicker and thinner, and she felt very embarrassed at this moment.
While Chu Qing was not paying attention, he quickly broke free from his restraints, nodded to Hua Jinnian, and went straight back to the charity cemetery.
Hua Jinnian waited until Wu Qianhuan disappeared before he gave Chu Qing a thumbs up:
"The third brother with a fiancée is so scary!"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:
"You are so sarcastic."
"I dare not, I just admire you too much!"
Hua Jinnian grinned and said:
"I just realized today that Third Brother is just like his sword, fast, ruthless, and accurate."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Chu Qing clasped his fists slightly:
"I can't bear it."
"...You dare to take it."
Hua Jinnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He occasionally looked in the direction of the charity cemetery and couldn't help but say:
"A beautiful woman threw herself at me when we first met, and in the blink of an eye, we secretly got engaged... Don't you think it's a bit hasty?"
This is my parents' order and the matchmaker's words.
"Brother Hua, are you envious?"
"Not envious."
Hua Jinnian waved his hand:
"Love is not my thing, and I will never get involved in it in this life.
"My mother's life was ruined by this word 'love'... Let's not talk about the distant past. Look at the scholar who ran away. If he hadn't been obsessed with this, how could he have ended up in such a situation?"
Chu Qing looked at Hua Jinnian thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered that Hua Jinnian had told him this before.
Want me to help kill the Ghost Emperor’s wife?
It is not known whether this is true or not...but now, looking at the gloomy expression on Hua Jinnian's face, Chu Qing feels that he must have a lot of stories.
"Why did you want to take me as your master?"
Chu Qing suddenly asked.
Hua Jinnian looked back at Chu Qing and said seriously:
“I have someone I must kill, but with my martial arts skills, I cannot kill him.
"So I have to learn more martial arts, master them, and constantly improve myself, so that I can have a chance... to kill that person."
"The Ghost Emperor's wife?"
"..."
Hua Jinnian laughed:
"Third brother, do you still remember this joke?
"That person is certainly not the Ghost Emperor's wife..."
"Who is that?"
"Third brother, you want to help me kill someone?"
"It depends on the situation. If that person deserves to die, then it's fine."
Hua Jinnian suddenly looked at Chu Qing after hearing this. After pondering for a while, he said softly:
"I just hope that if one day I can ask for help from you, you will not forget the promise I made today!"
"It seems that the person you want to kill is indeed not a simple person."
With the martial arts that Chu Qing has demonstrated today, Hua Jinnian still has such doubts, which shows that this person is extraordinary.
There was no reason for him to bring up the words 'Ghost Emperor's Wife' for no reason.
Could the person Hua Jinnian wants to kill be the Ghost Emperor?
