Chapter 34 Three Questions Raised During the Game
The following morning, on Longhu Mountain, the grand final was far more exciting than the previous scattered competitions. So much so that even before the competition began, the stands for the grand final were already packed with people.
"How many hits do you think it would take for the God of War to defeat Bi Lian?"
"Listen to what you're saying. He's shameless and can probably hold out for a long time. As for whether he can win, that depends on whether he's lucky enough to win."
"Whether we survive or not is another matter. Even if we lose, the runner-up will get the Heavenly Scroll. It's not a bad deal, is it?"
"With the Qi Body Source Flow and the Heavenly Talisman in his hands, he's about to take flight!"
There was much discussion in the stands.
Amidst these discussions, the Old Celestial Master and the Ten Elders walked over, followed by their respective juniors.
Surprisingly, he was all smiles and laughter in front of him, but his face turned bitter later on, a stark contrast.
Zhang Lingyu looked at the black-robed Taoist in the arena with a meaningful expression.
Lu Linglong blinked, curiously sizing up Yue Qing.
Ever since her grandfather told her about Yue Qing's identity, even when she was lying in a hospital bed, this girl's mind was always on her junior uncle, Yue Qing.
Feng Xingtong looked at his older sister and asked, "Sister, what do you think the odds are against Bilian when she fights Master Yue?"
Feng Shayan thought for a moment, then said, "Between three and seven!"
Feng Xingtong was surprised, not expecting Zhang Chulan to have such a high win rate against her older sister.
Feng Shayan explained, "I think you misunderstood. I meant three seconds. Yue Qing could kill Zhang Chulan seven times over!"
……
Lu Jin said, "Old Celestial Master, how many rounds do you think Zhang Chulan can withstand when my grand-disciple starts fighting?"
The old master smiled, knowing what the old man was thinking, and then said, "I don't know how many rounds I can last, but my palms are quite itchy."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin immediately stopped laughing.
That old man with the bull's nose is infuriating.
Instead, Tian Jinzhong quickly said, "Senior brother, you shouldn't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses. I'm worried that Lao Lu might turn against you, so why don't you move me away a bit?"
The old master said, "You really are my good junior brother! I'll throw you out like a hidden weapon later!"
"Hahaha!"
……
"Zhang Chulan vs. Yue Qing, the match begins!"
As the referee's voice faded, the atmosphere in the arena reached its climax, with all eyes fixed on the two players on the court.
Strangely, Yue Qing didn't make a move. Instead, he stretched, sat down on the ground, and then gestured for Zhang Chulan in front of him to sit down.
Seeing this, many people in the stands were puzzled.
However, since the person in the room was Yue Qing, no matter what they wanted to say, they couldn't utter a single word at this moment.
On the other side, Feng Zhenghao looked at the two people in the arena, his thoughts quite active.
Lu Jin looked at the old Celestial Master, who shook his head.
……
Although Zhang Chulan was puzzled, he obediently did as instructed, and then asked, "Master Yue, is there something you want to ask?"
"You're quite clever!"
Yue Qing nodded, not denying that Bi Lian could see through his thoughts. After all, this thing was able to defeat many of the younger generation's experts even after a gap of more than ten years. To be honest, such talent was undeniable.
Yue Qing said, "Before we start, I will ask you three questions. You can choose to answer them or not, but regardless of whether you answer or not, the standard for judgment rests with me, because it concerns whether my actions towards you will be cruel or extremely cruel!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chulan exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap!"
Isn't this just a way of trying to beat him up?
You could have just taken action directly, but you still did it this way...
He really made me cry my eyes out!
Lost in thought, Zhang Chulan understood the reason perfectly well, but couldn't say anything. If it weren't for the company's interference, the Taoist priest in front of him would have been the ultimate winner: "Master Yue, just ask. I'll answer what I know, and I'll answer what I don't know when I find out!"
Yue Qing glanced at the other person, not caring about their language, and instead held up one finger: "First question, where did your father, Zhang Yude, go?"
Zhang Chulan was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why he would ask such a question, but he still honestly shook his head and said, "Master Yue should know that I have never seen my grandfather since his accident, so I don't know where he went."
Yue Qing didn't dwell on that question. Instead, he raised his second finger and continued, "The second question is, why did your grandfather kill all those people who survived the Jia Shen Rebellion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chulan frowned.
He also wanted to know the answer to this question, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Longhu Mountain to participate in this grand Taoist ritual.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't know the core reason, but if I had to say one, I think it was my grandfather protecting me. Those people were obsessed with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques their whole lives, and they never let go of their greed for decades. My grandfather was worried that they would target me, so he used his last breath to kill all the old masters who coveted the Zhang family, clearing away all the troubles that had plagued me for a lifetime."
Yue Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tell me something you don't know!"
Zhang Chulan initially intended to revert to his previous shameless demeanor, but when he met Yue Qing's gaze, he unconsciously swallowed hard. Looking towards the sidelines, he first asked, "Master Yue, they shouldn't be able to hear what we're saying, right?"
Yue Qing nodded, pointed downwards, and then manifested the Qimen formation: "From the moment I entered this place, this location has been within my Qimen formation. As long as I don't want it, no third person will know about our conversation."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief. Composing himself, he said, "Based on the information I obtained from the company, my grandfather's reason for killing those remnants of the Jia Shen Rebellion, besides protecting me, might also have been a form of atonement. After all, my grandfather was one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, and the Eight Extraordinary Techniques originated from these thirty-six individuals. The Jia Shen Rebellion itself was also caused by these thirty-six people. Therefore, to prevent further tragedies, the old man personally severed their ties. Also, after seeing the company's intelligence, before coming here, I came to the conclusion that something extraordinary emerged during this Jia Shen Rebellion, and its value might surpass the Eight Extraordinary Techniques themselves. My grandfather didn't want this truth to be revealed, which is why the subsequent events occurred."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but look at Yue Qing, but the latter's expression was extremely calm, as if a thousand turbulent waves were nothing compared to a single ripple on the ocean.
It was bland, even excessively bland.
"Isn't Master Yue surprised?"
"Should I be surprised too?"
"It seems... like it shouldn't be like this!"
Zhang Chulan scratched his head, his smile casual.
"I've said it before, you're very smart because you always manage to say what you know, and you always manage to avoid what's hidden deep inside you in a way that others can't notice." Yue Qing raised his third finger, his expression calm, and finally asked, "So, one last question: if you find this truth someday in the future, can you bear the price that comes with it?"
After the words were spoken, an inexplicable silence fell over the air!
Zhang Chulan lowered his eyes, lost in thought, and remained silent.
Yue Qing wasn't in a hurry, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Feng Baobao on the stands.
Shen Ying is reserved and unpretentious!
That was Wugensheng's most important treasure!
……
Feng Baobao seemed to notice something and couldn't help but ask, "Xu Si, why can't I hear them talking?"
Xu Si exhaled a smoke ring and said seriously, "Since it's inside information, it definitely has to be done in secret. If the audience finds out, we'll lose face!"
Feng Baobao said, "But why do I feel like Yue Qing is looking at me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Si was taken aback and looked towards the scene, but in his view, Yue Qing remained in that lazy manner and did not even raise his eyes.
After a long pause, Zhang Chulan looked at the Taoist in front of him and was about to speak when Yue Qing waved his hand to stop him. "I said I don't care whether you answer or not, so you don't need to tell me what you're thinking."
After saying that, Yue Qing stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and began to stretch his body.
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan's face darkened, and he could only manage a wry smile: "Master Yue, I've been fully compliant with your questions, so please, have some mercy and go easy on me!"
"Hmm...we'll see!"
