"I've already said that I'm only here to clear your doubts."”
"What doubts do you have for us?" Lin Zhennan asked again.”
"Don't you want to know how your bodyguards and escorts died?" Wang Bukong laughed.”
Lin Zhennan's expression immediately changed drastically as he continued,"Could it be that you killed them?"
Wang Bukong said," Your imagination is really rich. If I wanted to kill them, I would have done it during the day. Why wait until now?"”
Lin Zhennan thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case. He then cupped his hands towards Yan Xinghe and said,"A few people have died in succession and have already caused chaos in my bodyguard agency. I have lost my composure, so please forgive me.”His tone paused for a moment before he continued,"Since you know the inside story, please tell me. I will be extremely grateful."”
"That's right. This is the attitude you should have when asking for help.”
Wang Bukong smiled and continued,""Your bodyguards and escorts died from the Heart Destroying Palm. From the outside, there's nothing wrong with them.”
"Heart Destroying Palm!"
Lin Zhennan's expression changed drastically again as he asked,"Your Excellency, do you mean that the Qingcheng Sect killed the people of my bodyguard agency?”
Wang Bukong said," You're not stupid. You know the origin of the Heart Destroying Palm."”
Lin Zhennan continued," However, my Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency has no enmity with the Qingcheng Sect. Instead, we have always been respectful to them. Why would they do such a vicious thing?"”
"No enmity?"
"That's just that you don't know." Wang Bukong laughed. The enmity between the Qingcheng Monastery and the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency could only be traced back to Lin Yuantu's generation. Back then, Lin Yuantu was invincible in the world with his seventy-two Evil-Warding Sword Techniques and had made a name for himself in the Pugilistic World. Chang Qingzi of the Qingcheng Sect was not convinced and came to challenge Lin Yuantu to a sword competition. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. After this battle, Chang Qingzi returned to the Qingcheng Monastery and died of depression not long after. And Chang Qingzi was Yu Canghai's master.”
"Ah!"
Hearing this secret, Lin Zhennan's family was immediately shocked.
Obviously, they didn't expect that their Lin family and the Qingcheng Monastery had such a grudge.
Then, Lin Zhennan came to a realization and said,"No wonder the Qingcheng Monastery has never accepted our gifts. It turns out that our Lin family has such a grudge with the Qingcheng Monastery."”
"But why did they accept the gift this time?" he asked curiously.”
"Of course, it's to numb you. Yu Canghai, that old turtle, is very cunning. In order to capture your Fuwei Bodyguard Agency in one fell swoop, he first wrote a letter to tell you when he would come. In fact, they had already arrived in Fuzhou in advance. This way, they could take advantage of your unprepared state and catch you off guard.”
"I see."
Lin Zhennan came to a realization again and continued,"I was wondering why the Qingcheng Monastery had come to Fuzhou as soon as I received the letter. It turns out that they had long wanted to kill my Fuwei Bodyguard Agency. However, even if the Lin family has a grudge against the Qingcheng Monastery, if they want to take revenge, they only need to follow the rules of the martial world and issue an invitation openly. Why do they have to secretly kill us?”
"Yeah, isn't the Qingcheng Sect a big sect in the martial arts world?" Is Yu Canghai shameless?"
"You're wrong again." Wang Bukong said. Actually, Yu Canghai's revenge for your master was fake. The real reason was that he wanted your Lin Family's Evil-Warding Sword Manual. Think about it, his master and your ancestor Lin Yuantu have been dead for many years. What's the point of taking revenge? "Therefore, his true goal must be your Lin family's Evil-warding Sword Manual. However, if he were to openly post the invitation and follow the rules of the martial arts world, then the entire martial arts world would focus on this matter. How could he scheme against the Lin family's Evil-warding Sword Manual?”
"What?!"
When he heard these words again, Lin Zhennan's entire body instantly trembled. He only felt an incomparable chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
"As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty.”
"The Qingcheng Sect isn't the only sect that covets the Evil-warding Sword Manual. Even the Huashan Sect has come.”Then, he looked at Lin Pingzhi and continued,"Lin Pingzhi, you should still remember the grandfather and grandson from the wild shop, right? That old man is Lao De Nuo, the second disciple of the Huashan Sect, and that young girl is the daughter of the Huashan Sect's leader, Yue Buqun. Their little disguise can only fool an ignorant kid like you, and you still want to stand up for them.”
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi also trembled. He thought of the grandfather and grandson in the wild shop. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"I didn't expect…I didn't expect them to be…"
Wang Bukong smiled faintly." The mutual deception in the martial world is not something that ordinary eyes can distinguish. There are still many things that you haven't thought of."”
Compared to Lin Pingzhi who was young and ignorant, Lin Zhennan was undoubtedly much more experienced. When he heard Wang Bukong's words, Lin Zhennan immediately realized that their Lin family had really reached the time of great calamity. For a moment, his brows were tightly knitted together, almost forming the word "Chuan". However, he couldn't think of any solution to this situation.
He had no choice. His strength was too weak and he could only be trampled upon.
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi suddenly said,""Master, you just said that our Lin Huaibi was convicted. "However, our Lin family's Evil-warding Sword Art seems to be…" As he said this, he looked at his father, Lin Zhennan, and then mustered his courage to say," It seems too ordinary. Even if it's used to roam the martial world, it's still insufficient. Why…"
"Don't call me master. I'm not a monk. Have you ever seen a monk as handsome as me?”
Wang Bukong warned Lin Pingzhi and continued,"If the Evil Repelling Swordsmanship is really so useless, how could Lin Yuantu be invincible in the world back then, and how could he build such a huge foundation for the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency? If you can't practice the sword properly, then you say that your sword skills are not good. How ridiculous.”At this point, he turned to Lin Zhennan and continued,"Lin Zhennan, let me ask you. Is there a big secret hidden in your Lin family's old residence in Xiangyang Lane? This secret is only known to you as the head of the family. Even your wife and son don't know.”
The moment these words were said, it was as if it was earth-shattering. Immediately, a monstrous wave was set off in Lin Zhennan's heart.
He was flabbergasted and said with a shocked expression,"How…how did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know. You just need to answer me, yes or no?" Wang Bukong smiled faintly.”
The reason why secrets were secrets was because they were rarely known.
Now that this secret had been exposed by Wang Bukong, how could Lin Zhennan dare to hide it? He directly nodded and said,"Your Excellency is right."
"It's rare that you're willing to admit it." Actually, I know everything about your Lin family, from Lin Yuantu to your father, Lin Zhongxiong, and then to you, Lin Zhennan. The secret in your old mansion in Xiangyang Alley is the only copy of the Evil-Warding Sword Manual left behind by Lin Yuantu. Although the Evil-Warding Sword Art you have learned is real, it lacks the mental cultivation method, which is why its power is not obvious and it looks ordinary.”He turned to Lin Pingzhi and continued,""Lin Pingzhi, now you know the reason.”
