Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 23 Revenge Commission
As soon as Xiao Yuer walked out the door, someone walked in.

The person who came in was not just anyone from the town. He looked very unkempt and in a mess.

He seemed to have been seriously injured and had walked a long way. He might even have not eaten for several days. His face was haggard, his hands and feet were weak, and the only strong thing in his body was his eyes.

Lu Ping had never seen the look in the visitor's eyes before, but he understood its meaning the moment he saw it.

There are two most basic emotions in human beings, which can provide people with almost infinite motivation in certain situations.

The first emotion is love. The reputation of "Love is Infinite" is still well-known, but the people who come in have no love in their eyes, but are filled with another emotion - hatred.

Fortunately, it was obvious that the other party's "hate" object was not him, otherwise Lu Ping would have taken action first no matter what.

The first thing he said was -

"I heard that this is the 'Jianghu Wanshiwu' and you accept all kinds of missions?"

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes, looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and replied: "Yes! Do you want to place an order? New customers can enjoy a 10% discount on their first order."

The other party was stunned, as if he saw hope in the darkness, a hint of excitement appeared on his face, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "I have an enemy, he killed hundreds of people in my family, I want him dead!!"

"…Sorry, we don't accept 'murder commissions' here."

Lu Ping refused, "Whether it's murder or arson, or rape or looting, anything that goes against the moral principles of the Jianghu, the Jianghu Wanshiwu will not accept it!"

The visitor seemed not to have expected such an answer. He stood there in a daze for a while, then looked at Lu Ping seriously for a few seconds, bent his legs and knelt down.

"As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to pay any price!!"

Lu Ping was a little surprised when he saw this. He had never been knelt down by anyone before, and he felt a little weird in his heart, but he was not kind enough to go over to help him or call him to get up.

Doesn't that make you look too cheap?
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others... It seems that for revenge, you are willing to sacrifice even your dignity and life. But with such determination, are you still afraid that you can't get revenge? Do you still need to ask others for help?"

"Go back! If you want revenge, as long as you use your brain and work harder, there will always be a way!"

You don't have to take action yourself, but you can still do it by saying a few words of encouragement.

The underworld has always been a place where people kill each other. Once you start talking, there will be no peace. Although Lu Ping yearns for the underworld, he prefers mountains, rivers and food. He has no intention of spending too much energy on fighting and killing.

His request was rejected, but the man did not get up. He just continued to kneel on the ground without saying a word. Thinking of the hardships he had gone through and the hopelessness of revenge in the future, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lu Ping guessed that perhaps he didn't even have the strength to stand up or say a word because he was seriously injured, had traveled a long distance, and was hungry and cold.

But he would not suffer any harm, so he just took a nap in the yard.

The two continued like this until Xiaoyuer came back.

"Hahaha... Now I can finally leave Taiping Town! Xiao Yuer is going to return to the martial arts world!!"

Xiao Yuer jumped into the yard yelling, and then saw the man kneeling on the ground. He asked curiously, "Huh? Who is this man? Xiaolu, is he your son?"

Lu Ping opened his eyes when he heard the voice: "When there is something wrong, you call me 'Boss Lu', and when there is nothing wrong, you call me 'Little Lu', right? Okay, okay, you are really good! Let's see if I can help you if you get into trouble in the future..."

Xiao Yuer walked up to the man and asked, "Are you his son?"

"……no."

"If he is not his son, why do you want to give him such a big gift?"

The man hesitated and didn't answer, so Lu Ping had to answer for him to Xiao Yuer: "His family was wiped out, and he wanted me to help him get revenge, but I didn't agree." Oh? Something new...

Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he asked again, "Who are your enemies? Why did they kill your entire family?"

The man raised his head and answered, "My name is Lin Pingzhi, and my enemy is Yu Canghai from the Qingcheng Sect!"

In the next few minutes, Lin Pingzhi recounted in detail the tragic experience of his family.

Some time ago, Lu Ping heard from the storyteller Old Man Sun in a first-class inn that the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out for the crime of possessing a precious jade, so he was not too surprised.

It's just that Lin Pingzhi's arrival was a bit unexpected.

Perhaps because he had never watched "Swordsman", he could not resonate with Lin Pingzhi's feelings at this moment. Although he sympathized with his experience, it was none of his business and he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he would not feel too sad and angry.

In fact, there are many people in the world who have had similar experiences as Lin Pingzhi, and the Fuwei Escort Agency is just one of many tragedies.

If I help one person today, won’t I have to help the second, third… and hundredth person tomorrow?

One wants revenge, the other wants revenge too, and they keep on taking revenge on each other. You can imagine what a mess it will be in the end.

After hearing the story, Xiao Yuer asked curiously, "The Fuwei Escort Agency is in Mingjian Prefecture, why did you come to Anning Prefecture for help?"

The regional classification system of the Suzaku Dynasty was relatively simple, a variation of the county system.

There are seven counties in total within the imperial territory. The main city of a county is called a 'prefecture'. Under each prefecture, there are a varying number of 'towns', also called 'counties'. There are also many villages around each town.

Among them, the "capital" was independent of the seven counties and was a special "prefecture".

Taiping Town, where Lu Ping is located, is under the jurisdiction of Anning Prefecture and belongs to Anning County; the Fuwei Escort Agency is established in Mingjian Prefecture, the main city of Mingjian County, and the two places are thousands of miles apart.

So it was indeed strange that Lin Pingzhi came here after a long journey, and this was also why Lu Ping was surprised by his appearance.

Lin Pingzhi replied: "I originally wanted to go to the capital to seek help from the people of the 'Number One Manor', but I met a few people on the way. They told me that the 'Number One Manor' would not handle such a matter, and asked me to come to Taiping Town, Anning Prefecture, to find a man named Lu Ping..."

Lu Ping's eyes widened when he heard this: "......?"

Which bastard is behind this, trying to drag me into this mess?
"What are those people's identities?"

Lin Pingzhi shook his head and replied: "I asked, but they didn't tell me... But one of them was blind and was holding a erhu."

"Is it Old Wu?!"

Such obvious features made Lu Ping immediately understand the man's identity. He stood up angrily and said, "Okay, okay... that damn old man! I saved his life, and he wants to cheat me like this, right? I'll make a note of this!"

Xiao Yu'er touched his chin with one hand, a smile of seeing through the truth appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and said: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Why do I feel that those people are from the 'Number One Village in the World'?"

"How to say?"

"The No. 1 Village in the World is ultimately a power of the imperial court, and Qingcheng is one of the major factions in the martial arts world. It is not easy for them to personally take action, so they divert the trouble to you..."

“…That makes sense! It makes a lot of sense!!”

Lu Ping gritted his teeth and said, "The best manor in the world... I'll make a note of this account too!"
