System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 385: Chapter 224: The Bloodstained Maiden

"Xiaoyu."

"Surname."

"Feng."

Feng Xiaoyu?

Very well.

Chu Qing spoke calmly:

"Why did you deceive us, claiming to be Liu Sanniang?"

"Doing good deeds, what’s the point of making it so clear?"

Feng Xiaoyu seemed to find an opportunity, blurting out:

"Isn’t Liu Sanniang’s situation tragic? Does the entire Chen Family deserve to die?

"And yet, a renowned Hero like Jinglan seems to act as a protective charm, no one dares to kill him...

"So I had to help Sanniang, to soothe her anger.

"And speaking of deception, didn’t you also deceive me?

"Claiming to be Assassins from the Mirror of Sin, but aren’t you just three liars!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, her face was full of indignation.

Chu Qing’s eyes lifted, and he glanced at her:

"What a sharp-tongued little girl!

"I ask you, who exactly are you? Why get involved in this matter?"

"Just acting on injustice I saw on the road."

Feng Xiaoyu snorted:

"It’s just that my Martial Arts are not enough, otherwise, I would have gone to kill Shen Juke myself.

"Forget it, since you want to know, I might as well tell you...

"In any case, now that Shen Juke is dead, there is nothing more to hide.

"I met Sanniang by chance at the fenced yard by the lake.

"Seeing her pitiful appearance and weary looks kneeling in front of Chen Sheng’s grave weeping every day, I became curious about her past..."

According to Feng Xiaoyu, she didn’t ask directly, but first became friends with Liu Sanniang.

Only then did she slowly inquire about Liu Sanniang’s story.

And after hearing Liu Sanniang’s tale, Feng Xiaoyu was enraged and vowed to vent Liu Sanniang’s anger.

She also wanted the Chen Family, who were exterminated ten years ago, to rest peacefully in the afterlife.

However, although Feng Xiaoyu called herself a Ranger in the Martial World, her Martial Arts were only decent in Lightweight Technique.

With her own skills, wanting to kill Shen Juke was a foolish dream.

So she had to plan carefully... At that time, there were always people around the fenced yard by the lake watching.

What Feng Xiaoyu wanted to do was extremely difficult.

She couldn’t let Shen Juke discover her plans, so the first thing she had to do was to temporarily stay away from that fenced yard.

Then, she had to secretly devise a plan.

Wanting to kill Shen Juke, she couldn’t do it by herself, so she had to find experts who could kill Shen Juke to help her.

The location of the Mirror of Sin’s branch was indeed told to her by Liu Sanniang.

But she mentioned it casually, saying she had once seen it on Shen Juke’s map.

Chu Qing’s previous thoughts were correct; Liu Sanniang didn’t know about Shen Juke’s connection with the Mirror of Sin. She was a woman confined to home, with shallow knowledge of the Martial World, and a very limited understanding of the Mirror of Sin.

But Feng Xiaoyu was very clear that the Mirror of Sin was not easy to deal with.

She lingered around the Mirror of Sin branch not to ask them to kill Shen Juke.

Instead, she wanted to gather evidence of Shen Juke’s collusion with the Mirror of Sin.

If she grasped this, she would be able to invite some experts in the Martial World who were more formidable than Shen Juke and understood the Mirror of Sin to deal with Shen Juke.

Unexpectedly, before she could share her thoughts with Liu Sanniang, Liu Sanniang couldn’t bear the pain of missing Chen Sheng daily, and she committed suicide in front of Chen Sheng’s grave.

When Feng Xiaoyu discovered this, Shen Juke had already taken the body away.

It was still Feng Xiaoyu who sneaked into the Shen Family, relying on her exceptional Lightweight Technique, to steal Liu Sanniang’s body, and buried her together with Chen Sheng.

With Liu Sanniang’s death, Shen Juke seemed soulless.

Feng Xiaoyu felt even more sorrow for Liu Sanniang and continued with her plan, trying to stake out the place.

However, she didn’t get Shen Juke but discovered Chu Qing and his companions, who had slaughtered the entire Mirror of Sin branch.

By then, she didn’t know the identities of Chu Qing and his group, and from a distance, she couldn’t recognize their looks or features.

But she could see they had strong Martial Arts skills.

Only then did she have a stroke of inspiration, deliberately making a detour to meet Chu Qing and his companions.

Claiming to be Liu Sanniang, she came to the Mirror of Sin branch, wanting to hire assassins.

"After that, you all know the story."

Feng Xiaoyu pouted:

"Who could have imagined that the experts who obliterated the Mirror of Sin branch were actually the renowned Mad Saber Third Young Master in the Martial World today!

"Even more unexpected, the Third Young Master pretended to be an Assassin from the Mirror of Sin... taking on the task of assassinating Shen Juke.

"I originally thought, when you would advise me against this hiring assassin business, I would then tell you all these things... but I didn’t expect it was unnecessary.

"The Third Young Master may have initially found it amusing, but no matter what, I must thank you for avenging Sanniang and the entire Chen Family."

Things seemed to make sense now.

A Ranger walking in the Martial World happened to witness an injustice, busied herself to vindicate the innocent, ensuring the wicked receive their due punishment.

"Miss, which school or sect do you belong to? Doing good anonymously... is quite admirable."

Chu Qing’s gaze was somewhat somber as he looked at Feng Xiaoyu.

But Feng Xiaoyu just waved her hand:

"As fellow Jianghu People, why need we recognize each other upon encounter?

"Third Young Master, when I wander the Jianghu, my sect has rules passed down, not to expose my sect... I hope the Third Young Master does not inquire further."

"Is that so?"

Chu Qing suddenly smiled:

"Forget it, even though you deceived us initially, it was all for chivalry’s sake.

"Thanks to you, the old case involving Shen Juke from ten years ago can now be laid bare to the world...

"Given that, I won’t dwell on what happened before.
