Chapter 402: Chapter 232: Triggering the Commission_2 Finally, he affixed his personal seal and set it aside.
Then he wrote another document, detailing the various encounters of the night.
Lingxin’s ambush to kill him, using the Thousand Mechanism Powder’s poison to assist Enlightenment in silencing him... all of it was written down clearly.
After Wuchen read it, he asked Lingxin to sign and affix his seal.
Of course, Lingxin was unwilling to cooperate, but after looking at Chu Qing, he gritted his teeth and complied.
Today, he was truly defeated...
After all, no one expected that at this crucial moment, Wuchen would bring strong reinforcement.
Not to mention the two by Wuchen’s side with unfathomable abilities, just Wuchen alone was not someone his age as Buddha’s Son could contend with.
So he had no choice but to submit to the situation.
After securing these two letters, Zen Master Hui Ji said:
"The person who killed Senior Brother Hui Ming back then, Enlightenment is now the Sect Leader of the Vajra Sect, and Senior Uncle Xingzhi... has secluded himself in the Tower Forest behind the mountain.
"If you decide, you can return to the Vajra Sect and make this letter public.
"Then you can settle things with Enlightenment... or you could go to the Tower Forest to find Senior Uncle Xingzhi for justice.
"If you have any need of this old monk, you may call on me.
"To the ends of the earth, I will surely come."
"Thank you, Uncle Master Hui Ji."
Wuchen cupped his hands in salute.
But Zen Master Hui Ji shook his head:
"Just atoning for my sins."
Wuchen said nothing, for it was true that Zen Master Hui Ji had wronged Hui Ming and himself.
Yet, as things stood, he did not intend to dwell on it more.
Chu Qing’s eyes turned, seemingly deep in thought.
But he did not say much, instead looking at Lingxin:
"How do you plan to deal with this person?"
Wuchen turned to look at Lingxin, who, just as he was about to speak, Wuchen flicked his finger.
[Finger-Tapping Green Lamp], a wisp of green flame entered Lingxin’s Dantian.
Lingxin let out a wretched scream and rolled on the ground, his forehead beaded with sweat the size of beans, and within moments, his ten years of painstakingly cultivated martial arts were gone.
"I’ve already destroyed his martial arts..."
Wuchen said softly:
"This person will be left for Uncle Master to handle."
Zen Master Hui Ji nodded:
"Very well, then I will take him."
Having obtained what they wanted and learned the truth of past years, Wuchen and the others made their farewells.
Throughout the process, Chu Qing and Gentle did not show their faces.
The two were merely spectators, merely tagging along for the drama.
However, after leaving Guang’an Temple, Chu Qing suddenly asked Wuchen:
"Tell me, if your brother Enlightenment and this nephew Lingxin had not been so vicious to your uncle Hui Ji...
"Would everything have gone so smoothly?"
"...No."
Wuchen was a good monk, not a foolish one.
Facing Lingxin, Zen Master Hui Ji had made it clear that he could continue to hold his tongue about the events of those years.
It was Lingxin’s blade, combined with the Thousand Mechanism Powder, that led Zen Master Hui Ji to his decision.
If not for this incident, how could it have gone smoothly? There would have been countless obstacles unknowable...
Chu Qing had a faint smile, and Wuchen replied with a smile:
"Therefore, behind the scenes, I could only choose this way to obtain these two letters."
Although the words seemed disjointed, Chu Qing understood his meaning.
The pivotal issue of that past incident was that it might inadvertently implicate the Vajra Sect... which was also the main reason Zen Master Hui Ji concealed it.
Wuchen was willing to bear the infamy, hoping to correct the wrongs within the Vajra Sect, thus prompting Zen Master Hui Ji to write these two crucial pieces of evidence.
Conversely, if Wuchen was unwilling and intended to make a huge uproar...
It was questionable whether Zen Master Hui Ji would cooperate so willingly.
