Mo Chi was taken aback.
"You know what I'm going to ask."
"You just want to know why I ordered you to kill Gui Mu, the number one assassin at the time."
Mo Chi pointed his sword at Ye Ren's brow.
"Since you know he is my master, why did you use my parents' lives to blackmail me into killing him, causing me to fall into a position of disloyalty and injustice?"
Ye Ren asked a question indifferently.
"What is a master?"
Mo Chi was stumped by the question.
After a while.
He answered seriously.
"Not relatives, but closer than relatives."
"Not a father, but better than a father."
"Well said."
"But do you know that the master you think you are actually a thorn in his side?"
Mo Chi shook his head.
"Impossible! You're framing me!"
"I won't fall for such a divisive tactic!"
Ye Ren remained calm.
The truth of what happened back then will be told in detail.
"You are a natural-born martial arts prodigy."
"This is already a rare sight in the martial arts world."
"So many people are jealous of your talent and have practiced their skills for decades, but they are not as good as you who were born with extraordinary talent."
"Do you know how many people are hoping to absorb your power to help them improve their martial arts?"
Mo Chi frowned.
"Of course I know that."
"In the martial arts world, even if everyone wants to do this, it's impossible for my master alone."
“If Master had such evil intentions, he could have attacked me from the beginning.”
Ye Ren said calmly.
"Yes, then why didn't he make a move on you?"
"Because he has always wanted to practice the Mahayana Heart Sutra, but he has never been able to master it. Only someone like you, a natural martial arts prodigy, can comprehend it in a short period of time."
"Compared to someone who has painstakingly practiced for fifty years and only achieved mastery when they are old and gray."
"Wouldn't it be easier to just steal the fruit directly?"
Mo Chi was taken aback.
"You mean, Master wants to absorb my martial arts after I've mastered it?"
"Otherwise what? Do you really not know Gui Mu's reputation in the martial arts world, or are you just pretending not to know?"
“He never kills people for any reason. It’s one thing to kill evil people, but my two students are both good officials who serve the people and the country.”
"But because the fourth brother wanted to cultivate his power, he was killed by Gui Mu!"
"You've been in the underworld for so long, you must have heard of things like this before."
"How much conscience can you expect from someone who kills a good official to cultivate you into a chivalrous hero?"
Mo Chi heard this.
The hand holding the sword began to tremble.
I've been wandering the martial arts world for so many years.
He was well aware of Gui Mu's reputation.
A person who will do anything for money.
Even though he was number one on the assassin rankings.
However, they are far less respected than those killers who always have a bottom line and know who they cannot kill.
Such a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Would he be a good mentor?
Every single time.
When Guimu smiled at him.
The corners of her mouth were clearly twitching.
Mo Chi saw clearly the evil in her eyes.
Mo Chi was grateful that Gui Mu had been teaching him martial arts.
I firmly believe in one thing.
My master may have let down the people of the world.
But he was true to himself.
But now.
King Cheng, however, revealed a cruel truth.
That means the Ink Pond is not the only one.
He was no different from the people of the world in Gui Mu's eyes.
It's just a matter of when to kill them.
"You spent a month practicing the Mahayana Heart Sutra to the highest level."
"Did you know that Gui Mu has been secretly practicing the Power Stealing Technique?"
"The plan is to absorb all your internal energy on the day you achieve your goal."
"Just in case, he gave your parents poison."
"Once your internal energy is drained, your parents will become abandoned children, and he will absolutely not save them!"
"If I hadn't given your parents the antidote, they would have died from the start."
"On the surface, I'm threatening you with your parents' lives, but in reality, I'm saving you."
Mo Chi shook his head.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"My master would never do this to me! He would never harm my parents!"
King Cheng found it hard to accept the truth.
But on the road to growth.
Those dark and gloomy sides are always something we have to experience.
Moreover.
Mo Chi is an assassin.
Do you remember the red spots that appeared on your parents' bodies before they passed away?
Mo Chi nodded.
"That was caused by the poison from Gui Muxia. Although I gave them the antidote, the poison had already invaded their internal organs."
"The antidote cannot completely cure the poison; it can only prolong their lives."
"So, do you understand now?"
"Your parents were killed by your master, whom you always regarded as your biological father."
"Now, you've come to kill me for such a heartless and ungrateful person."
"You and Guimu are not much different."
"I'm not!" Mo Chi's hands trembled.
His voice trembled.
"I don't!"
"You, you lied to me!"
You must be lying to me!
King Cheng knew that Mo Chi had wavered.
He believed what King Cheng said.
But deep down, he simply couldn't accept it.
Now that things have come to this...
The only way is to strike right at his heart!
Use the master-disciple relationship that Mo Chi has always valued to kill him!
