Chapter 1417 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
Everyone repeatedly said they were too kind, thinking to themselves that Shen Linsu was actually a very nice person. In fact, they hadn't done much; the main reason they were able to catch the person was because Shen Miao had the means.
But they are still happy to drink and join in the fun.
“I will stay at Peach Blossom Manor with Chaoyue.” Shen Linsu said coldly, “Originally, Peach Blossom Manor was a peaceful place and did not want to make enemies with the major forces in the martial arts world. However, Xingyue Palace went too far this time. If we do not keep her here, people in the martial arts world will think that Peach Blossom Manor is easy to bully.”
No one thought anything of it, but Chaoyue was quite unreasonable. If she had returned later, she probably would have dug up the entire basement of the house.
Seeing that she was about to be taken inside, Chaoyue knew that if she were taken to Peach Blossom Manor today, she might not be able to get out, and her chances of survival would be slim. This time, Shen Linsu would definitely not show her any mercy.
"Aren't you all curious about what heirloom I took from Peach Blossom Manor?"
"These are the gold pieces from the Heavenly Questionnaire. There are three pieces in total. In that hidden compartment, I also found several broken weapons, all of which are well-known in the martial arts world."
"These are the Xuanfeng Sword, the Qinggui Axe, and the Zhulong Blade. You are probably familiar with these weapons, right?"
"If you don't believe me, go and look in the secret compartment of this Master Shen's room right now. You'll definitely find it. He was so angry just now that he probably didn't have time to clean up." Chaoyue revealed the secret in one breath. "Do you all remember the owner of the Xuanfeng Sword? It was the ancestral heirloom of Shen Linsu's deceased wife's family. It is said that her family was wiped out, and she only met Shen Linsu at the end. The Qinggui Axe was the famous weapon of a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) in Jiangnan. He met with misfortune on the way to escort goods, and the only survivor left behind only one sentence: a group of men in black robbed the goods."
"And the Candle Dragon Blade came from a small sect." Chaoyue didn't give Shen Linsu time to react. "I heard that the sect was also wiped out."
"Although my Star Moon Palace is also interested in the Heavenly Questions, we usually just borrow weapons from other families. We don't do things like annihilating entire families."
Chaoyue raised her eyes and looked at Shen Linsu: "Master Shen, can you explain where these weapons came from?"
“Palace Master, although we have a grudge, there is no need to frame or slander each other at this critical juncture.”
"You said you found the so-called 'Heavenly Questioning Gold Card' in a secret compartment in my room. Could you take it out and let me see it?" Shen Linsu remained calm, not at all like someone who had exposed his secret. "You're just trying to use these words to confuse people so you can escape in the chaos, aren't you?"
Although Asahi was stalling for time, she was not lying.
However, Shen Linsu also grasped one key point: she was unwilling to hand over those gold pieces. In the entire martial arts world, how many people could remain calm when faced with the Heavenly Question?
"Whether it's true or not, you won't know if you send someone in to check," she said.
Shen Linsu replied, "It was your frame-up in the first place. Why should I do as you wish? What if you try to pull some tricks and run away?"
"However, if I don't let people see it, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince them, since the matter of the Heavenly Question has already caused panic in the martial arts world."
The crowd, who had initially been somewhat skeptical, calmed down upon hearing Shen Linsu's words and wanted to see what he would do, involuntarily leaning towards Shen Linsu's side.
If what Asahi said is true, how could he be so calm?
The people in Xingyue Palace are of low character to begin with, so it's quite possible for them to use this as an excuse to get away with it.
"Everyone, once I've crippled Chaoyue's martial arts, I'll take you all inside to search and see if we find any of the damaged weapons she mentioned."
Everyone quickly responded with a "yes".
Chaoyue secretly thought to herself that something was wrong; this Shen Linsu really knew how to argue.
Just then, a voice came from inside: "I think it's unnecessary."
“There are indeed these things in the hidden compartment of Master Shen’s room. Not only that, I also caught a rat that was trying to hide them.” Chao Xianxue came out from inside, bringing out a pile of broken weapons, and also threw out a person, who was a servant of Peach Blossom Manor.
The crowd gasped in disbelief at the pile of broken weapons. How could this be? Chao Yue's words were actually true. "Good disciple, thank goodness for you." Chao Yue laughed heartily, very satisfied with Chao Xianxue. "Master's love for you wasn't in vain; you actually brought these things out."
She hadn't originally told Chao Xianxue these things, but she never expected that her disciple would play such a crucial role at this critical moment.
Now that her disciple is here, it will be difficult for Shen Linsu to cripple her martial arts, as her disciple's martial arts are not simple.
“Master Shen, you’re not going to try to deny that my disciple put these things in there, are you? Then why should I go in and take the gold tablets from the Heavenly Questions?”
At the same time, Chao Xianxue flashed and escaped with the other party.
At this moment, Chaoyue took out a gold piece and waved it in front of everyone: "Everyone, look carefully, this is the gold piece of Tianwenjuan."
Before anyone could finish speaking, Shen Yue, who had been quiet all along, spoke first. With red eyes, she looked at Shen Linsu and asked, "Father, is what she said true? Is the Xuanfeng Sword really passed down from my mother's family? Was the massacre of my maternal grandfather's family related to you? And what about my mother? What was the real cause of her death?"
"Clearly, Shen Yue is a smart person and quickly connected all the clues."
At the same time, Yi Xiaolan was also in disbelief, staring blankly at Shen Linsu.
However, Shen Linsu did not look at Shen Yue and Yi Xiaolan. His cold gaze fell on Chaoyue's face: "Chaoyue, leave the things behind."
"Shen Linsu, it's come to this point, you can't stop me. Once it's in my hands, you can forget about it." Chaoyue sneered. With her disciple by her side, she was completely unafraid.
"Good disciple, take your master away."
Chao Xianxue gave a faint reply and prepared to leave with Chaoyue.
The next moment, Shen Linsu moved, attacking Chaoyue directly without any mercy.
For a moment, everyone was stunned; they had never seen Shen Linsu so ruthless.
He offered no explanation, ignored his daughter Shen Yue, and only wanted to retrieve the gold tablet from the Heavenly Questionnaire from Chao Yue. This suggests that what Chao Yue said was likely the truth.
When everyone came to their senses, there was an uproar and a lot of sighs. They still couldn't believe it, but faced with Shen Linsu's superb martial arts skills, no one said anything. They just wanted to wait for him and Chaoyue to settle their grudges before making any plans.
There was another person present who looked completely incredulous; it was Xu Shan.
The thought that Shen Linsu might be part of a mysterious organization made him feel somewhat dizzy.
"Aunt, do you know?" Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao, her face full of distance, "Do you know the whole truth?"
Shen Miao's face was also pale, clearly shocked by what she had heard. When Shen Yue asked her question, she shook her head repeatedly: "Yue'er, I really don't know."
"Really?" Shen Yue couldn't believe it. She stared at her father, who seemed to have gone mad, trying to snatch back the Tianwen Question Gold Coin. Her face was deathly pale.
Azhen glanced at Shen Yue and remained silent for a moment.
Although it was cruel, the truth had to be revealed, but she hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. (End of Chapter)
