Chapter 365 - 214: Lady Liu the Third
Chu Qing and the other two exchanged glances.
Has the world gone mad to this extent?
Hiring an assassin and directly seeking out the Mirror of Sin’s branch?
This woman... quite the capability!
Before Chu Qing could speak, Wuchen stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and was about to say something when Chu Qing pulled him back.
During their time together, Chu Qing had come to understand this monk.
Three words summarized his character: Good kindhearted person.
Upon hearing someone wanted to hire an assassin, his nature would predictably try to dissuade the idea without a second thought.
Although Chu Qing wasn’t clear about the woman’s background, he saw no reason to turn down the business that came to them.
He chuckled lightly:
"May I know, who is it the lady wishes to kill?
And what reason is there for the killing?"
"Hmm?"
The woman gave Chu Qing a curious look:
"Does the Mirror of Sin even need to ask why when killing?"
"Naturally."
Chu Qing replied calmly:
"As the saying goes, there are no good people in front of the Mirror of Sin. We have always refrained from killing the innocent. If the lady has a deep vendetta or some grievance with the one to be killed and seeks to entrust the Mirror of Sin to kill, we will naturally agree to it.
Conversely, if the lady only wants to vent personal anger, as life is not trivial, the Mirror of Sin will not take a life due to such a small matter."
"But I heard that the Mirror of Sin’s so-called ’acting on behalf of justice by killing’ is just a guise, and in reality, money can buy a killing?"
The woman’s eyebrows furrowed.
Chu Qing waved a hand:
"Just rumors in the martial world."
"... I see."
The woman was silent for a moment and then said:
"My surname is Liu, you can call me Liu Sanniang.
The person I wish to kill is no ordinary figure. He is known as the ’Hero of the Shocking Mist’."
"Shen Juke, the Hero of the Shocking Mist!?"
Chu Qing immediately called out the name, a slight surprise in his eyes.
This Shen Juke was indeed no ordinary figure. At seventeen, he made a name for himself in the martial world, formerly known as the ’Jinglan Sword’, gaining fame with his Heaven and Earth Shocking Mist Technique.
It was said that he had a sense of chivalry in his youth, resolving many injustices in the martial world.
After turning twenty-five, he settled in Brahma Shock City, where he was generous and noble-hearted, highly respected in the martial world.
Whenever martial world travelers encountered difficulties in Brahma Shock City, they found the Hero of the Shocking Mist, and their problems were often resolved.
Over time, the title of Hero of the Shocking Mist grew prominent.
However, in recent years, the Hero of the Shocking Mist has been rarely active in the martial world, while rising stars like White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu and Piqiu Sword Li Hanguang are gaining fame...
This made the Hero of the Shocking Mist appear less frequently in the martial world.
Still, his status in the martial world cannot be denied.
"It’s precisely this person."
Liu Sanniang spoke softly:
"The one I wish to kill is this sanctimonious villain."
This must be juicy!
Chu Qing and Gentle exchanged a glance, feeling that while the matter was by chance, it was indeed enticing.
They asked at once.
Liu Sanniang, having been convinced by Chu Qing’s ’Mirror of Sin does not kill the innocent’ stance, did not conceal anything and explained the situation.
But the story traces back to ten years ago.
Liu Sanniang grew up in Brahma Shock City, which falls under the Blazing Hall’s influence.
Beitang Lie, who didn’t join the Celestial Evil Cult, was talented and ambitious; therefore, the people under his influence lived prosperously.
Liu Sanniang was eighteen that year, at the tender age of budding love.
By chance, she met a young master from the Chen family in Brahma Shock City.
Not only was this Chen young master handsome and elegant, but he was also knowledgeable and humorous.
Attracted by him, both were deeply in love, and since their families matched well, they got engaged.
To show respect, they invited many prominent figures to the wedding banquet on the wedding day.
Not only was the leader managing Brahma Shock City from Blazing Hall there, but also the then renown Shen Juke.
All mishaps began that day.
It might have been a small joke from heaven; during the ceremony, a wicked wind blew open the bride’s red veil.
Revealing Liu Sanniang’s mesmerizing face at the time.
There were gasps in the hall, and Liu Sanniang felt a pair of eyes intensely watching her.
Those eyes belonged to Shen Juke.
The gaze made Liu Sanniang inexplicably anxious, but it was only a minor interlude.
No one cared much about it.
The ceremony proceeded smoothly. Liu Sanniang was sent to the nuptial chamber to wait... The lively sounds from the front yard kept coming through, and although Liu Sanniang felt exhausted and hungry from the day’s work, she endured, quietly waiting for her groom.
But she didn’t expect it was not only her groom who came.
Shen Juke was there too!
The red veil was lifted by Shen Juke.
He had drunk too much, his eyes not clear, and Chen young master was held in his hand, unconscious like a chick.
Seeing all this, Liu Sanniang was shocked and instinctively wanted to go to her husband but was pushed away by Shen Juke.
He casually dropped the groom and smiled at Liu Sanniang, saying:
"Such a beauty, how could she marry such a commoner?
Why not be with Shen instead?"
Liu Sanniang was both shocked and angry, asking him to leave, stating that if he didn’t go, she’d call someone over.
Never expecting this, Shen Juke suddenly drew his sword and placed it against Chen young master’s neck:
