System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 402: Chapter 232: Triggering the Commission_2

Finally, he affixed his personal seal and set it aside.

Then he wrote another document, detailing the various encounters of the night.

Lingxin’s ambush to kill him, using the Thousand Mechanism Powder’s poison to assist Enlightenment in silencing him... all of it was written down clearly.

After Wuchen read it, he asked Lingxin to sign and affix his seal.

Of course, Lingxin was unwilling to cooperate, but after looking at Chu Qing, he gritted his teeth and complied.

Today, he was truly defeated...

After all, no one expected that at this crucial moment, Wuchen would bring strong reinforcement.

Not to mention the two by Wuchen’s side with unfathomable abilities, just Wuchen alone was not someone his age as Buddha’s Son could contend with.

So he had no choice but to submit to the situation.

After securing these two letters, Zen Master Hui Ji said:

"The person who killed Senior Brother Hui Ming back then, Enlightenment is now the Sect Leader of the Vajra Sect, and Senior Uncle Xingzhi... has secluded himself in the Tower Forest behind the mountain.

"If you decide, you can return to the Vajra Sect and make this letter public.

"Then you can settle things with Enlightenment... or you could go to the Tower Forest to find Senior Uncle Xingzhi for justice.

"If you have any need of this old monk, you may call on me.

"To the ends of the earth, I will surely come."

"Thank you, Uncle Master Hui Ji."

Wuchen cupped his hands in salute.

But Zen Master Hui Ji shook his head:

"Just atoning for my sins."

Wuchen said nothing, for it was true that Zen Master Hui Ji had wronged Hui Ming and himself.

Yet, as things stood, he did not intend to dwell on it more.

Chu Qing’s eyes turned, seemingly deep in thought.

But he did not say much, instead looking at Lingxin:

"How do you plan to deal with this person?"

Wuchen turned to look at Lingxin, who, just as he was about to speak, Wuchen flicked his finger.

[Finger-Tapping Green Lamp], a wisp of green flame entered Lingxin’s Dantian.

Lingxin let out a wretched scream and rolled on the ground, his forehead beaded with sweat the size of beans, and within moments, his ten years of painstakingly cultivated martial arts were gone.

"I’ve already destroyed his martial arts..."

Wuchen said softly:

"This person will be left for Uncle Master to handle."

Zen Master Hui Ji nodded:

"Very well, then I will take him."

Having obtained what they wanted and learned the truth of past years, Wuchen and the others made their farewells.

Throughout the process, Chu Qing and Gentle did not show their faces.

The two were merely spectators, merely tagging along for the drama.

However, after leaving Guang’an Temple, Chu Qing suddenly asked Wuchen:

"Tell me, if your brother Enlightenment and this nephew Lingxin had not been so vicious to your uncle Hui Ji...

"Would everything have gone so smoothly?"

"...No."

Wuchen was a good monk, not a foolish one.

Facing Lingxin, Zen Master Hui Ji had made it clear that he could continue to hold his tongue about the events of those years.

It was Lingxin’s blade, combined with the Thousand Mechanism Powder, that led Zen Master Hui Ji to his decision.

If not for this incident, how could it have gone smoothly? There would have been countless obstacles unknowable...

Chu Qing had a faint smile, and Wuchen replied with a smile:

"Therefore, behind the scenes, I could only choose this way to obtain these two letters."

Although the words seemed disjointed, Chu Qing understood his meaning.

The pivotal issue of that past incident was that it might inadvertently implicate the Vajra Sect... which was also the main reason Zen Master Hui Ji concealed it.

Wuchen was willing to bear the infamy, hoping to correct the wrongs within the Vajra Sect, thus prompting Zen Master Hui Ji to write these two crucial pieces of evidence.

Conversely, if Wuchen was unwilling and intended to make a huge uproar...

It was questionable whether Zen Master Hui Ji would cooperate so willingly.

As Chu Qing considered this, he felt a bit helpless.

For people like them, born in Sects, maybe they always thought the Sect was above all else.

They actually overestimated themselves, underestimated the world.

Chu Qing was not Wuchen; if he were Wuchen... he would not have so many concerns.

Anyone who dared to bully him, he’d just go over and kill them directly.

Enlightenment deserved to die, Lingxin deserved to die, Xingzhi deserved death even more.

One punch, one palm, one blade, three moves, three lives taken.

Afterward, whether he took over the Vajra Sect or retreated freely, all would be done at his whim.

Why care if great waves followed in his wake?

Chu Qing’s premise for doing good deeds is being in a state of satisfaction.

If successful, aid the world; if failed, focus on one’s well-being.

If he hadn’t even avenged his own grievances, why consider the life and death of others... why didn’t anyone consider if he was happy?

But he was not Wuchen, so he couldn’t make decisions for Wuchen.

And Wuchen was clearly quite pleased with the current outcome.

Which made Chu Qing grit his teeth a bit.

He patted Wuchen’s shoulder:

"How about I help you with this?"

"Hmm?"

Wuchen was stunned:

"What does the gentleman plan to do to help this monk?"

"Wuchen is dead."

Chu Qing said softly:

"At Shen Juke’s birthday celebration, I’ll personally say Wuchen is dead.

"Saying this does have a selfish motive... I don’t plan to tell you the specific reason, and I suppose you aren’t too concerned.

"But this matter can be seen as a fact; from today, you don’t need to be Wuchen, just be Chen Wu."

Wuchen looked at Chu Qing thoughtfully:

"And then?"

"Then I’ll help you kill all your enemies."

Chu Qing’s fox tail was showing.

Wuchen was dumbfounded for a moment, thought about it, and scratched his head:

"If the gentleman is willing to take action, neither Enlightenment nor Xingzhi could be your opponents...

"But why does it feel like something is not quite right?"

Chu Qing patted him on the shoulder:

"Here’s the plan: After I kill Enlightenment and Xingzhi, I’ll place these two letters on them.

"For testimony, these letters will do; for witnesses, you can seek Zen Master Hui Ji.

"The people of Vajra Sect aren’t fools; they won’t want to blow this matter out of proportion for everyone to know.

"You, in this process, are essentially a dead person... it has nothing to do with you.

"Think of it as someone disgusted by Zen Master Hui Ming’s wrongful death who dug out the truth and avenged the ’old friend.’

"From then on, grievances and enmity are both cleared.

"I assume Vajra Sect isn’t a place you wish to visit again, so ’dying’ can sever all ties, allowing you to start a new life!"

Wuchen spoke thoughtfully:

"Why does this monk feel like you are fixated on making me ’die’..."

"That’s not the point."

Chu Qing said:

"With your strength alone, seeking revenge is quite uncertain; leave it to me, and I have full confidence.

"You just need to make a choice: agree or disagree."

Wuchen thought for a moment, seeing no reason to refuse.

Enlightenment was chosen as Buddha’s Son back then due to his talent and exceptional understanding among his peers.

Wuchen wasn’t his match in the past; probably he could defeat him now... but being assured of victory without a doubt was not something he’d boast.

If Chu Qing acted, naturally things would be simple.

From then on, discarding the identity of Wuchen to become Chen Wu... seemed no big deal, on the contrary, it seemed like starting a new life as Chu Qing suggested...

He had been burdened by the incident from twenty years ago his entire life.

Chu Qing’s suggestion was a fine release.

From then on, no longer having to face the Vajra Sect, with his mentor’s great revenge avenged, his obsessions would dissipate completely.

Thinking this, Wuchen nodded:

"Alright, as such, thank you, good sir.

"I just don’t know...what can I do in return for the gentleman?"

"There are plenty of things you can do."

Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly. Wuchen wasn’t suited to follow him around the Martial World.

Too many people, too many eyes, wasn’t good for concealing his identity.

Chu Qing already had a place in mind for him... but there was no rush to mention it.

At the same time, the system prompted.

[Triggered Commission: Assassinate the Vajra Sect Sect Leader, Enlightenment.]

[Accept?]

[Triggered Commission: Assassinate Vajra Sect Xingzhi.]

[Accept?]

With a thought, Chu Qing accepted both tasks.

Thus, bringing Wuchen along on this journey wasn’t entirely without gain.
