Chapter 298 The Real Reason
"Didn't you see with your own eyes that Ox-Head and Horse-Face have died in this mine?"
"Yes, that's true. When I saw those two skeletons in the mine, I did suspect they were Ox-Head and Horse-Face."
Li Lianhua pulled Wu You to sit down, poured her a glass of water, and poured herself a glass as well.
"However, I have examined those two skeletons. One is heavier and the other is lighter. The pelvis of the legless skeleton is obviously much wider, indicating it belongs to a woman."
"So the ones who died in the cave weren't Ox-Head and Horse-Face at all, but Lian Quan and his wife. Am I right?"
"Smart people are indeed difficult to deal with, but you're only half right." The host didn't deny it when someone else exposed his secret.
"You killed Lian Quan and his wife, stole the Lian Quan manual, and mastered the Bi Zhong Trap, but you're afraid of being hunted down by your enemies. So you disguised the bodies of Lian Quan and his wife as they are now, right?"
Li Lianhua slowly revealed the truth of the matter.
"We killed Lian Quan not to steal his martial arts, but to protect ourselves."
Horse-face denied it, then sighed as if he had made a great decision, and lifted his inner robe to reveal his legs, which were pieced together by mechanisms.
Then, without waiting for any reaction from the two, he began to speak on his own.
"Years ago, we brothers were born conjoined and faced a lot of discrimination, but Lian Quan valued us highly, and we were very grateful. So when the Golden Kite Alliance was besieging Huang Quan Mansion with all its might for Luo Mo Tian Bing, we brothers accompanied him and risked our lives to break through the encirclement and escape to this small remote city to live in seclusion."
"Who would have thought that he would marry a promiscuous woman here, and then become suspicious of the two of us, thinking that we had developed lustful thoughts towards that woman. Lian Quan lured us into the mine under the pretense of teaching us the Bi Zhong Trick, and then used highly poisonous jade green instead of emerald green to make us practice our skills. By the time we realized it, we were already poisoned."
“He thought we would die from the poison underground, but my brother Li Xiong reversed his cultivation method, absorbing all the poison into his own body and separating our bodies. Although I lost my lower limbs, I was not poisoned and can move using mechanical techniques. But my brother was poisoned and will soon die.”
"I was desperate to save my brother, so I tried countless methods and finally found out that the abbot of Hanshui Temple had a Jade Bridge Heart Sutra that could detoxify and save lives. I killed someone to steal the book, which saved my brother's life. After that, I stayed in Xiaoyuan City under the guise of being the abbot of Hanshui Temple, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Lian Quan."
“One day, I successfully lured Lian Quan into the mine, killed him and that woman, and then disguised their remains as those of my brothers. That way, even if the Golden Kite Alliance investigates later, they won't be able to trace it back to my brothers.”
"Everything was perfect, but unfortunately we were able to keep it from the Golden Kite Alliance, but not from the Hundred Rivers Academy. You found out, and my brother Li Xiong has already been captured by the Hundred Rivers Academy, hasn't he?"
“He’s in Baichuan Academy’s hands.” Faced with the man’s long-winded explanation, Li Lianhua did not hide anything from him.
"You've all come all the way from Baichuan Academy to this small, remote city, presumably with the same goal as the Golden Kite Alliance—to get Luo Motian Ice, right?" Even with his path to survival blocked, Horse-Face remained remarkably calm.
Wu You: Does becoming a monk really cultivate a broad-minded mentality?
“In that case, if you two agree to do something for me, I will gladly offer you the Luo Mo Tian Bing after it is done.”
"Hyakuchuan has already obtained the Rama Heavenly Ice from your younger brother."
