Chapter 772: Hypocrite
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Heh, it’s really hard on him,” Yu Su said mockingly.
Such a sinister method was indeed not something ordinary people could think of.
Stealing someone’s luck was equivalent to stealing someone else’s life. It was too wicked.
If the people of the Daoist Association knew that Master Peng was such a sanctimonious hypocrite, many metaphysical masters would probably leave the association!
Wen Chuan also sighed. “In the past 200 years, Peng Chan kept giving birth to children. He let the children seize the luck and hid behind the scenes to enjoy the fruits of his labor. That’s how he survived until today.”
This was a loophole in the Heavenly Dao. One day, he would play with fire and burn himself.
Yu Su said, “The fact that he is alive makes it really unfair to the person whose luck was snatched away. Fortunately, Peng Chan was poisoned by the poisonous spider poison and shouldn’t live long.”
Even if she did not avenge herself, she would avenge those people.
“What happened after that? What does the matter of Peng Chan snatching luck have to do with my master?”
Wen Chuan sighed slightly with regret on his face. “Peng Chan’s method of extending his lifespan is too harmful. Your master and I both objected to it. I didn’t expect your grandmaster to pass the sect master’s seal to Ming Kun. Ming Kun used his identity as the sect master to stop us from meddling in this matter. If we dare to interfere, we will disobey the sect master’s orders and be punished by the heavens.”
On the surface, they could only give up.
But behind their backs, Wen Chuan also tried to help those whose luck had been snatched away, but he realized that those people did not appreciate it at all.
As time passed, Wen Chuan’s heart turned cold. He only cultivated in his courtyard and no longer cared about mortal matters.
“In other words, my grandmaster is still alive?” Yu Su frowned slightly and asked.
Wen Chuan nodded. “He’s probably still alive. I haven’t heard any news about him for 300 years. Since he hasn’t been announced as dead, he should still be alive.”
“Then did you deliberately arrange our first meeting, for us to invite you to be a guest on the show?” Yu Su asked the question that she had been thinking about for a long time.
Wen Chuan’s eyes were bright as he said slowly, “I followed the flow. At that time, Ming Kun came to the courtyard to look for me. He told me that you would be my only hope of leaving Chinatown and told me to seize the opportunity.”
“At that time, I also did a divination and realized that we would have many ties in the future, so I planned to see you. However, before Ming Kun left, he used his identity as the sect master to order me not to tell you anything about seizing luck.”
Yu Su asked in confusion, “Then why can you tell me now?”
Wen Chuan smiled. “The Sect Master’s orders are only effective in Chinatown. As long as I leave Chinatown, Ming Kun won’t be able to control me anymore. He didn’t expect that I would have a chance to leave Chinatown in this lifetime and tell you all these things.”
Yu Su was enlightened and finally felt a little relieved.
She had already treated her senior brother as a helper. If Ming Kun was around, her senior brother would not be able to use his strength. That would be too much of a loss.
Wen Chuan thought of something and continued, “Your master has more freedom than me. He promised not to interfere in the matter of snatching luck in Chinatown, but after he left Chinatown, he worked very hard to save those ordinary people whose luck had been snatched away by Peng Chan. You’re one of them.”
“Master…” Yu Su sighed slightly, as if she had heard her master’s teachings again.
Her master was too soft-hearted. When she was young, her master would always save some injured people. At that time, Yu Su did not know anything.
Now that he thought about it, those injured people might be related to Peng Chan.
If not for her master, Yu Su might have grown up in a mountain village and become the most ordinary village woman. She would have given birth to several children and would never have the chance to come to the capital in her life.
Her master had changed her fate!
Wen Chuan did not say anything else.
After a while, Yu Su said coldly, “In that case, my master’s death is very likely related to Ming Kun?”
“Maybe!” Wen Chuan nodded, his eyes filled with suspicion.
All these years, he had also tried to investigate. Unfortunately, his body was trapped in Chinatown and he did not obtain any more useful information.
Perhaps, the truth would be revealed soon.
Yu Su thought for a moment before saying slowly, “My master is blocking Ming Kun’s path. Of course, he has to get rid of him as soon as possible. He’s the most suspicious. Other than that, I don’t understand Grandmaster.. Under those circumstances back then, why did Grandmaster pass the position of sect master to Ming Kun?”
