Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 522 A Fortuitous Encounter (Part 2 Combined)
"Master Shen, my apprentice is safe this time thanks to your help. It's a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zhennan still couldn't overcome this calamity."

To avoid suspicion, Yue Buqun naturally wouldn't let anyone hear Linghu Chong giving his last words to Lin Pingzhi, even though he was curious himself.

He instructed others to help, some to order coffins, others to prepare other things, and as for himself, he found Shen Qingzhou, who had not left.

Shen Qingzhou didn't leave, of course. He had his own purpose and wanted to see Lin Pingzhi. After all, he accepted the Fuwei Escort Agency's directory in front of Linghu Chong, and he was willing to accept this favor.

However, Lin Pingzhi was so overwhelmed with grief that he didn't even notice him. That was fine; he was just curious whether Yilin was alright.

As for Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, after I healed them, unless they were idiots, they definitely wouldn't appear in the martial arts world again. Qu Feiyan is also quirky and clever; I don't know if she's still there or has left.

"Brother Linghu scared away Mu Gaofeng, and I didn't have time to make a move, so how could I offer any assistance? It is indeed a bit of a pity."

Everyone has their own destiny. In the martial arts world, martial arts manuals and divine weapons are things that everyone pursues. Fortunately, they have been passed down to future generations.

"Now that Lin Pingzhi has become a disciple of Master Yue, if he needs anything in the future, he can send me a message by carrier pigeon. After all, I have already promised Chief Escort Lin," Shen Qingzhou said.

“If Ping’er joins Huashan, and something else happens, Huashan Sect will certainly not let him face it alone. It was only because I was misled to go elsewhere that I was able to arrive sooner. Now that he has joined Huashan, I, Yue, will naturally take full responsibility for whatever matters may arise.”

"I just didn't expect to meet Master Shen here. It's truly an honor. I wonder if there's anything else important that I can help with?" Yue Buqun said.

He had examined Lin Zhennan's body and said that his heart meridian was broken, but it would be more accurate to say that he was exhausted. To put it another way, even if his heart meridian was not broken, he would not have lasted much longer. In fact, it could be said that if it weren't for his strong will, he would have died long ago.

He was wondering when Shen Qingzhou had arrived. However, if what Linghu Chong said was true, he didn't know about Lin Zhennan's last words. As for the list, it shouldn't be a sword manual. Unless he was brain-dead, he wouldn't have given the sword manual to Shen Qingzhou.

When Shen Qingzhou heard Yue Buqun speak to him like that, he had to admit that Yue Buqun was definitely worthy of being called the Gentleman Sword.

While expressing his gratitude, he was also openly questioning why he had come to this remote mountain forest so late at night. It was almost as if he was asking directly whether Lin Zhennan and the others had any connection to him, but since nothing had happened, he couldn't say that.

This is not easy. Social interactions among people in the martial arts world also require self-consistency. Even if you have a guess, you can't say it out loud. It's basically impossible for someone like Yue Buqun to openly test you. But asking openly and honestly makes him seem like a gentleman.

Even when they were talking about the Qingcheng Party earlier, Yue Buqun deliberately spoke loudly. Was he saying it to himself?

To put it simply, most people would be suspicious of his behavior, but when he does it, it feels like sincerity, which is a skill in itself.

“It’s quite a coincidence. If it weren’t for your disciple, I wouldn’t have come here. I was looking for Linghu Chong and just happened to find this place,” Shen Qingzhou replied directly.

"Young disciple, I wonder if I have offended Master Shen?" Yue Buqun was increasingly puzzled.

"I didn't offend him. I just know he's alright. I was just asking someone to give him a message." Shen Qingzhou wasn't talking nonsense. He didn't want to talk about Liu Zhengfeng and the others. The matter was over, and he had already expended his energy. There was no point in exposing it again.

As she was leaving, Qu Feiyan asked him to check on Linghu Chong and Yilin's situation.

Whether Yue Buqun believes it or not is none of his business; he doesn't need to live for other people's opinions.

"I see." As a gentleman, Yue Buqun naturally couldn't pry into who delivered the message, but he believed it. The main thing was to stick to one principle: Lin Zhennan would definitely not give the sword manual to anyone other than Lin Pingzhi.

His probing was also to find out Shen Qingzhou's thoughts. At present, the only way to find the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual is to find Lin Pingzhi, and he was afraid that Shen Qingzhou would use Lin Pingzhi to find the sword technique.

"Brother Shen." A moment later, Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzhi arrived beside Shen Qingzhou.

"That young girl just wanted me to see you and the little nun, and that I was glad you were alright. I just didn't expect to see something like this," Shen Qingzhou said.

“A lot has indeed happened, but I don’t know about them,” Linghu Chong said.

"The dust has settled," Shen Qingzhou said. His words made Linghu Chong even more depressed. After all, he had been grateful for the transmission of the manual, and it was natural for him to be unhappy to see two lives disappear because of the struggle between good and evil.

Linghu Chong must have misunderstood. In fact, he had examined the pulses of both men and concluded that there was no hope of recovery. That was his tacit understanding—that no one could save them from their injuries. Just like Lin Zhennan, who said that Yue Buqun was coming, he was only giving others a glimmer of hope; he himself didn't believe it.

Just like cancer, those who are aware of it, and those who don't have it, know it's a terminal illness and they're doomed, but for the sake of the patient, we must give them a glimmer of hope.

"Brother Shen, rest assured, since I have agreed, I will naturally accompany you when you go to Luoyang," Linghu Chong said, referring to the matter of sending Qu Feiyan off.

"My Tianxia Escort Agency hasn't lost any escorts yet, and this time, I'm personally going to Luoyang," Shen Qingzhou said.

"That would be perfect." Linghu Chong was also delighted. He had personally witnessed Shen Qingzhou's martial arts skills.

As for Qu Feiyan, Shen Qingzhou didn't know if she still wanted to go to Luoyang, but she definitely had to go. He had already accepted the escort mission and the goods, and he couldn't just turn it away easily.

"Lin Pingzhi greets Master Shen." Lin Pingzhi also greeted Shen Qingzhou. Looking at this expert whom he had met at the Liu residence before, who could fight two opponents and seriously injure Ding Mian and Lu Bai, and who looked to be not much older than himself, he was really envious.

He was envious, thinking that if he had the other person's martial arts skills, the Fuwei Escort Agency might not be what it is today.

He was also thinking about it, and he had also witnessed the reality of the martial arts world. If one's martial arts skills are high, who would dare to cause trouble? He became Yue Buqun's disciple and entered the Huashan Sect. He could then openly appear in front of people in the martial arts world. Even if everyone was curious about the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, they would not dare to say anything to his face.

If he had learned the family's sword technique and possessed the martial arts skills of his ancestor Lin Yuantu, the Qingcheng Sect would not have dared to even consider obtaining the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.

Previously, Lin Yuantu's reputation had protected the Fuwei Escort Agency, but it was useless. He had been dead for a long time, and most people dared not and did not want to offend a force like the Fuwei Escort Agency. However, the Qingcheng Sect used this as an excuse to assess the agency's true strength and then made their move. If he were truly skilled in martial arts, he would have scared Yu Canghai to death. For example, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and Shaolin Temple both possess top-tier sect manuals, but they would simply go up the mountain and steal them from whoever they saw.

Everyone knows that Shen Yujing knows the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, but who has ever come to ask for this skill? To put it bluntly, if Shen Yujing were weak, the Beggars' Clan would be the first to come knocking.

But it was all wishful thinking. Everyone knew that Shen Qingzhou knew the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and that he had had a miraculous encounter. Otherwise, how could someone so young have such high martial arts skills? But who would dare to ask?

Even Yue Buqun, whom he greatly respected, addressed Shen Yujing as "Hero Shen" repeatedly. In the martial arts world, martial arts skills are truly of utmost importance.

In previous years, he had always believed in Lin Zhennan's teachings. He was blessed with good fortune and knew some martial arts, but in reality, he was just a rich kid. Now, because of hatred, he has changed everything and attaches great importance to martial arts.

He also learned about his father's last words from Linghu Chong, and he understood that this might be the location of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, which he definitely had to find.

However, before that, he also knew that his father had left him a help, although it was not a great help, it was not insignificant either, it just depended on how he used it.

He also knew about the list of escort agencies. In fact, he knew about the list, as he was the heir to the Fuwei Escort Agency. Although he had never taken over the family business, he knew what it was, something his parents had always made him remember.

In his view, it was just some experience from escort agencies, which could help him quickly understand the escort routes, such as where to make friends, where to avoid, and who could give him money.

However, he knew that these things were of little use to people in the martial arts world, but only to Shen Yujing, who ran a security escort agency. In the future, when taking the same route, he could save some effort and wouldn't need to scout the route as much.

However, it's not particularly useful. He's not the Fuwei Escort Agency, which no longer exists. Strictly speaking, Shen Qingzhou going there himself might be more useful than the list. After the incident with the escort agency, he matured a lot. With Shen Qingzhou's martial arts skills and reputation, he could easily find a way to make a living as an escort.

Therefore, he didn't think that Shen Qingzhou owed him anything just because of his father's instructions. Shen Qingzhou was a top-notch expert with a bold and unrestrained personality, which he already knew. After arriving in Hengyang, Shen Yujing was one of the people he needed to get to know.

The fact that he was able to speak up for Liu Zhengfeng's family is admirable, considering how many people are afraid of being associated with the evil cult, and most importantly, afraid of offending Songshan.

It's not that they can't afford to offend them, it's that the Liu family, having lost Liu Zhengfeng, isn't worth everyone's help in confronting Songshan. But Xiao Shiyilang is making a move, so it doesn't matter to him. He himself is neither righteous nor evil, and he's all alone.

But Shen Qingzhou is different. He owns a security escort agency. In any case, his relationship with Songshan is definitely not good. However, as everyone knows, he and Songshan will not fight each other. They are all righteous people.

Zuo Lengchan needs sufficient evidence to deal with Liu Zhengfeng. If you want to deal with Shen Qingzhou, that's impossible. Just look at his martial arts skills. Shen Qingzhou is a real gangster, and even the righteous sects don't dare to make a move against him.

Dongfang Bubai was at Blackwood Cliff, and Yu Luosha was in the Western Demonic Sect, yet neither of the righteous sects attacked them.

“He is also a pitiful person. After all, I was entrusted by your mother. If anything happens, you can report it to the Tianxia Escort Agency,” Shen Qingzhou said.

Lin Pingzhi, a young man ravaged by the conflicts of the martial arts world, passed through an orchard after his family's downfall. He was extremely thirsty and there was no one around, but he did not steal any of the longans. He had been taught very well.

Furthermore, judging from the original work, he was indeed a good person in the early stages. Even in the later stages, apart from killing Yue Lingshan, an innocent person, he did not kill anyone else; he only killed his enemies.

Yue Lingshan did indeed suffer an undeserved misfortune, but thinking about it, after going up Mount Hua, her master, whom she had previously revered like a god, actually snatched the family's musical score and learned about what Yue Lingshan and her companions had done in Fuzhou. How could she not have some doubts?

It's normal for one's mindset to change, but at the beginning, he was indeed a very good person.

"Thank you, Master Shen." Lin Pingzhi knew in his heart that this relationship was really important to him, and that it could protect him if word got out.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi like this, Yue Buqun pondered. He knew Shen Yujing well; he was bold and loved making friends. Most importantly, his martial arts skills were too high. Even he couldn't defeat him.

Yue Buqun's thinking reveals his confidence in himself. Shen Qingzhou had seriously injured Ding Mian and Lu Bai in front of everyone, which would only surprise most people in the martial arts world. However, Yue Buqun was still thinking of fighting Shen Qingzhou, which shows that he also had that confidence.

However, apart from Zuo Lengchan, he didn't consider the others of the Five Mountains a threat.

Before long, the disciples of Mount Hua arrived with the coffin. Seeing Lin Zhennan and his wife being placed in the coffin, Lin Pingzhi cried uncontrollably, prompting Yue Lingshan to comfort him.

Shen Qingzhou watched coldly. No wonder Yue Lingshan fell in love with someone else later. Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong had completely different styles. One was a rich young master, and the other was a free and unrestrained person.

However, Lin Pingzhi had a more tragic air about him. Of course, it could also be because he resembled a pretty boy. Shen Qingzhou was just watching the show, but she didn't know if there would be any changes this time. After all, the martial arts world was different now than before; there were too many people.

Lin Pingzhi had made up his mind. He planned to bury his parents in Mount Hua. Returning to their hometown was not realistic for the time being, so he would bury them in Mount Hua first. It was definitely not possible to bury them in Hengyang.

“Logically, I should escort you, but there are many things to do in Hengyang right now. You should leave first, and I will come to Huashan later,” Shen Qingzhou said.

He had to go to Mount Hua, not because of any deep feelings, but because he had to save someone.

That's right. Just like Yu Qiushuang before him, Lin Zhennan and his wife were put to death by him. Lin Zhennan was the one who used his internal energy to help him regulate his breathing. When Madam Lin hit the pillar, she actually hit the innate qi and fainted. Shen Qingzhou quickly stepped forward, seemingly to help, but actually to use the technique of feigning death.

As for whether they will really die, as long as no one finishes them off, they won't. Shen Qingzhou still believes that. Even Yue Buqun wouldn't believe that Lin Zhennan and his wife have anything on them.

Shen Qingzhou did this because he needed Lin Zhennan's connections. Living and dying would definitely have two different effects. Lin Zhennan's experience in the escort agency was unmatched by Shen Qingzhou. He was able to build such a large business, and he would be a great assistant to Guangda Escort Agency.

Therefore, it was natural for him to treat Lin Pingzhi better. After Lin Zhennan and his wife were put into the coffin, he hired people to carry the coffin to the water's edge. Huashan and his group boarded a large boat and headed north.

They didn't stay. Shen Qingzhou will have to leave in a few days, but it's worth it. There's another adventure there.
