A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2249 - 1522: Gone? (Ben Cat Wants to Hibernate)
She knew that this definitely didn’t make any sense.
Didn’t those renowned heroes of righteous sects know this?
And about the Fuwei Escort Agency, Lin Zhenan already told Duanmu Huai and the others what happened. His son saw an injustice, observed someone harassing a tavern girl, stepped in to rescue her, and accidentally killed the assailant. By the rules, shouldn’t the blame fall on the one who harassed the girl first?
If it wasn’t Lin Pingzhi from the Fuwei Escort Agency who killed the Qingcheng Sect person, but someone from Shaolin, Wudang, or the Five Mountains Sword Sect, or the Six Great Sects, would Yu Canghai still be so arrogant and try to annihilate them?
Of course not, he might even say "I have failed in teaching my son, it is his own fault."
Is it because Yu Canghai is reasonable?
Of course not, it’s because his Qingcheng Sect isn’t a match for those big sects.
Yet, facing the Fuwei Escort Agency, Yu Canghai spared not even the cook. And now Duanmu Huai just for a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, wants to slaughter the entire Qingcheng Sect...
This is the martial arts world...
If Duanmu Huai knew what Wang Yuyan was thinking, he would say.
Exactly, this is the martial arts world.
A naked world where the weak are prey to the strong.
Reason is false, physics is real.
Otherwise, why did Duan Yu, who was well-read, still need to practice Yiyang Finger and Lingbo Micro-step?
Why did Xuzhu, who revered Buddhist Law, still be arranged to learn Xiao Yaozi’s martial arts?
The reason is simple, their righteousness, pedantry, kindness mean nothing in the martial arts world. Without these martial arts, they’d have been killed with one punch long ago. Even Wei Xiaobao, without martial arts, no matter how talkative he is, would just die. Others are naturally the same, wanting to make a name in the martial arts world, strength is the first, everything else is secondary.
A hero is not just a hero because of their virtues, but more importantly because of their strength.
Strength, only strength is the eternal truth of this world, what is right or wrong, good or evil, abundance or destruction, pure beauty or wisdom are all secondary.
Without strength, they are nothing.
After dealing with this bunch of bastards, Duanmu Huai walked back to Lin Zhenan and cupped his hands to him.
"What a pity, Master Lin, I was hoping to taste your master’s handiwork... Alas, it seems it wasn’t meant to be."
"This... this, sir..."
Facing Duanmu Huai’s unpredictable behavior, even Lin Zhenan, who was resourceful, was momentarily at a loss for words.
But he quickly grasped the key issue.
"I have a problem, and I ask for your advice."
"What is it?"
"That Evil Extinguishing Swordsmanship, is it really as you say...?"
"Isn’t your Exorcism Sword Manual placed above the old residence, just take it out and look and you’ll know."
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, and hearing this, Lin Zhenan no longer doubted. He knew this matter was only told to him by his father before his death, by logic no one else should know, but this Undying Slaughter God was clear about it, so he didn’t hesitate anymore and directly knelt down.
"Please, sir, show our Lin Family a way to survive!"
Lin Zhenan wasn’t foolish, Yu Canghai came for their family’s Exorcism Sword Manual, this matter couldn’t be faked. And now Yu Canghai is dead, such matters spread quickly in the Jianghu, if people know, they’ll surely wonder why Yu Canghai came to trouble the Fuwei Escort Agency. Upon detailed investigation, the matter of the Exorcism Sword Manual will inevitably be exposed, then the Fuwei Escort Agency would face more than just the Qingcheng Sect.
Duanmu Huai wasn’t one of the Fuwei Escort Agency, so he could leave, but what if others had designs on the Escort Agency? Just one Qingcheng Sect nearly wiped them out, if it were others, wouldn’t it be worse?
Lin Zhenan knew his martial arts were weak, over the years Fuwei Escort Agency survived mostly on personal relationships, but in the face of a martial arts secret manual, those connections were unreliable.
So now, he could only ask Duanmu Huai for a way.
"A way huh......"
Hearing Lin Zhenan’s request, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, remembering a joke he’d seen online before, laughed.
"Actually, there is a way, very simple, just copy the Exorcism Sword Manual many hundreds, thousands of times, and distribute it across the martial arts world. Once everyone knows this is the Eunuch Sword Technique, practicing it means being an eunuch, wouldn’t that be interesting?"
"This......"
Hearing this ridiculous suggestion from Duanmu Huai, Lin Zhenan was amused but also frustrated. Indeed, eunuchs were despised, but as someone in the escort agency business, he knew there were desperate Jianghu people out there. If the Evil Extinguishing Swordsmanship really worked as Duanmu Huai claimed, by self-castrating one could become invincible like their ancestors, some might accept being seen as eunuchs.
After all, Jianghu people live either for fame or profit, if it’s truly as Duanmu Huai said, distributing thousands of copies, then their Lin Family would be Jianghu’s villains. If anyone uses the Evil Extinguishing Swordsmanship to kill, they might come to Lin Family for revenge.
After all, grudges have a head, debts a source, Cheng Kun was exactly this precedent. The people Xie Xun killed, they went to Cheng Kun for vengeance, which wasn’t wrong.
"Sir, please don’t joke like this."
"Alright, I was indeed joking."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Then it’s simple, this is an eunuch sword technique, it’s best for eunuchs to practice it. So I ask you, where is there eunuchs?"
"This...... Palace?"
"Exactly, present this sword manual to the Palace, ask them to protect your Lin Family, it shouldn’t be a problem. This technique can only be practiced by eunuchs, there are plenty of eunuchs in the Palace, and indeed need many skilled people. This technique also is quick in results, the Palace definitely won’t ignore it. With the Royal Family’s power, protecting your small Lin Family is a trifling matter. Present the sword manual to the Emperor, he’ll surely be pleased. As for whether they dare to go to the Palace to snatch the sword manual, that is none of your concern."
After all, having been in this world for quite some time, Duanmu Huai knew the current Royal Family’s situation is unstable, various powerful families are starting to stir. The Royal Family has always lacked top martial artists, once the Exorcism Sword Manual is out, it will surely groom several loyal masters for the Royal Family.
Even if not reaching the top level, it might be quite good, enough to strengthen the Royal Family.
Duanmu Huai didn’t care about this, Royal Family or whatever... it’s all irrelevant to him.
"This......"
Listening to Duanmu Huai’s suggestion, Lin Zhenan hesitated, couldn’t deny it seemed like Lin Family’s only current way out.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
With this thought, Lin Zhenan no longer hesitated, bowed again to Duanmu Huai, who just waved his hand.
"Nothing much, you should take care...... Go on, leave."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai gestured to the two women, then listlessly walked out of the Fuwei Escort Agency.
Damn it, my Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup...
