PNB Chapter 517 Absurd Vows
Chapter 517 Absurd Vows
"Fifth Master, how are you?"
Hearing what Elder Hua said, Meng Chuan held Fifth Master's hands with some worry.
Although half of Meng Chuan's palm had been stitched up, the movement of the wound caused fresh blood to gush out continuously.
But Meng Chuan seemed to feel no pain at this moment.
Although Meng Chuan always liked to bicker with Fifth Master.
But in reality, Meng Chuan genuinely respected Fifth Master.
If it weren't for Fifth Master, Meng Chuan would have died countless times already.
Even Meng Chuan's family members couldn't possibly be alive today.
Moreover, Fifth Master has always only given to him and nurtured him.
She silently paved all the way for Meng Chuan, but never asked anything of him.
They also didn't force Meng Chuan to do things he didn't like.
"You're on your own from now on."
Fifth Master was barely breathing, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at Meng Chuan.
Whether in the past or today, Meng Chuan's performance has not disappointed him.
Meng Chuan even performed better today.
"Fifth Master, don't worry, I can take good care of myself and I'm confident I can lead the Green Gang to glory."
Meng Chuan no longer feigned modesty.
At this point, all Meng Chuan could do was make Fifth Master feel more at ease before he left.
"Good boy, I believe in you."
Fifth Master comforted him, then changed the subject and asked:
"You've seen what she looks like, haven't you?"
Meng Chuan was taken aback, but quickly realized that Fifth Master was referring to the Black Widow.
If Fifth Master weren't in his current state, Meng Chuan might have already asked him questions as soon as he entered the room.
At this moment, Fifth Master brought it up, and Meng Chuan hurriedly nodded and said:
"Fifth Master, why does she look so much like him..."
Meng Chuan desperately wanted an answer, but Fifth Master slightly raised his hand, interrupting him:
"The master of the Thousand-Faced Asura Hall is also Chinese. He was persecuted and went into exile overseas, where he founded the Thousand-Faced Asura Hall."
Fifth Master slowly said:
"Also to avoid being hunted down, the Thousand Faces Asura Palace has had a tradition since its founding that the Palace Master must not show his true face."
"Back then, in order to get the Thousand Faces Asura Palace to give up the assassination mission, I fought with their palace master. In fact, I lost that fight."
Fifth Master's words startled Meng Chuan.
This is different from what Black Widow said!
Black Widow said that Fifth Master was slightly better than her by half a move.
How come it was Fifth Master who lost?
Just how strong is the Thousand-Faced Asura who was able to defeat Fifth Master?
“She could have killed me, but in a moment of desperation I tore off her veil, and her vow was broken, so she gave in.”
Fifth Master sighed.
This is why Fifth Master has not mentioned the outcome of this battle since he came down from the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace.
On the surface, he won, but in reality, he lost.
At that time, Fifth Master was determined to see the true face of the legendary Palace Master before he died, which is why he risked his life to tear off her veil.
"She admitted defeat as soon as her veil was removed?"
Meng Chuan was taken aback. What did this mean?
"According to the oath of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace Master, whoever has seen her true face must marry her."
Fifth Master continued.
Meng Chuan looked astonished!
Is there really such a vow?
Is this a plot from Jin Yong's novel brought into reality?
"Of course I disagreed. Besides, my wife and children had just died tragically in front of me not long before, and I had no intention of remarrying and having children."
Fifth Master continued:
"So I agreed to one condition and one request from her before she let me down the mountain."
Meng Chuan's curiosity was also piqued by Fifth Master.
But Meng Chuan didn't interrupt; instead, he continued listening.
"The condition is that I never marry, otherwise she will kill me."
Fifth Master said helplessly.
Meng Chuan was speechless for a moment.
There really are such old-fashioned people in this world.
No wonder that all these years, since the death of his wife and children, Fifth Master has never remarried.
It turns out that he had agreed to the conditions of the Thousand-Faced Asura.
"What's the other requirement?"
Meng Chuan couldn't help but press for an answer.
Because Fifth Master is speaking slower and slower these days.
"There's another requirement: Shadow Butterfly."
Fifth Master said, panting heavily.
"Shadow Butterfly?"
Meng Chuan was shocked. How did this get involved with Ying Die?
Fifteen years ago, Yingdie was only 3 or 4 years old.
"Shadow Butterfly is a twin; her older sister is Black Widow."
"what?"
Meng Chuan was taken aback.
No wonder, no wonder Black Widow looks exactly like Shadow Butterfly.
The moment Meng Chuan grabbed the gun, he caught a glimpse of the Black Widow's face.
That one glance was enough to astonish Meng Chuan.
It's like copy and paste; Black Widow and Shadow Butterfly look exactly alike.
If Yingdie hadn't been there at the time, Meng Chuan would have suspected that she was Yingdie in disguise.
Meng Chuan only now realized that they were actually twin sisters.
This secret is probably unknown even to Yingdie herself!
Anyway, Meng Chuan had never heard her mention it!
"I don't know much about Yingdie's background, except that she is a descendant of the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace Master's old friend."
Fifth Master continued:
"The Thousand-Faced Asura's request is that I use the Green Gang's powerful intelligence system to track down Shadow Butterfly's whereabouts."
“Eight years ago, I discovered that she had been trained as an assassin by the Arctic Fox Assassin Organization. I spent three years planning and then wiped out the Arctic Fox Assassin Organization five years ago to rescue her.”
Meng Chuan then realized what was happening.
No wonder the Green Gang took such a huge risk to wipe out Arctic Fox in one fell swoop!
"Does Yingdie know your intention in saving her? Does Thousand-Faced Asura know that Yingdie has been rescued?"
Meng Chuan asked two questions in a row.
"I have no idea."
Fifth Master sighed.
"Why?"
Meng Chuan pressed for an answer.
“I asked Yingdie if she was willing to continue being an assassin, and Yingdie said no.”
Fifth Master explained.
When Fifth Master rescued Yingdie, he gave her a choice.
If she is willing to continue being an assassin, Fifth Master will introduce her to the Thousand-Faced Asura Palace.
However, Shadow Butterfly herself was an assassin, and the training she underwent was too bloody.
She had already experienced enough of the pain of killing off the people she knew one by one with her own hands.
They were also tired of that life of constant danger.
However, Fifth Master cannot let Yingdie, who was raised as an assassin from a young age, go free.
Because she simply lacked the skills to survive.
If she were released into society, it would inevitably lead to a great deal of bloodshed.
Because killing is the only way Yingdie knows how to resolve conflicts.
However, in today's society, murder is no longer a way to survive.
That's why Fifth Master had Prince Fu subdue Yingdie and get her into the Green Gang.
"As for why I didn't tell Thousand-Faced Asura about Yingdie's rescue, it's because there was another clause in her vow that if anyone who saw her face didn't marry her, she would commit suicide."
Fifth Master said.
Meng Chuan was stunned and his eyes widened.
What kind of bullshit oath is this?
He would marry her after seeing her face, or kill her if he refused, or commit suicide if he couldn't kill her.
"So, remember... remember..."
At this point, Fifth Master's breathing became increasingly rapid:
"We can't tell her that Yingdie has been rescued..."
"Fifth Master, Fifth Master, hang in there!"
Meng Chuan immediately became anxious and gripped Fifth Master's hand even tighter.
"Where is...Where is King Bi? Let...King Bi come...come to see me..."
