The second envelope contained a credit mission.
Class SSS mission: Kill a Level 5 Martial Artist, Lian Ye. Involved in homicide, armed, cruel, vicious, and merciless in nature.
Mission requirements: None.
Mission rewards: None.
If it wasn't for the information about the mission target, Lian Ye, attached to the mission note, Lu Sheng would have thought that Zhao Kangtai had put the note in the wrong envelope pocket.
The mission to kill a mere Level 5 Martial Artist was actually labeled as a Class SSS credit mission. The key point was that the mission didn't have any rewards.
After Lu Sheng read the information at the back of the mission note, he understood why this mission was rated as SSS. The mission's focus wasn't on the target, Lian Ye, but on the person behind Lian Ye. Lian Ye's father, Lian Jibei.
Lian Ji Bei was one of the Level 7 Martial Artists under the Extreme Dao Martial Academy, and he had a close relationship with the founder of the academy, Zhao Ji.
His sister, Lian Su, was the fifth wife of the Martial Sage, Zhao Ji.His status in the Extreme Dao Martial Academy was very high, almost equal to some of the Extreme Dao martial artists.
“No wonder it was rated as a Class SSS credit mission. Lian Ye was easy to kill, but the consequences of killing Lian Ye weren’t something an ordinary person could bear.
Extreme Path Martial Artist, the brother-in-law of a Level 9 Martial Artist. Once involved, it’ll be an endless trouble …”
Lu Sheng glanced at the other information. Almost all of them were crimes committed by Lian Ye and his son. Roughly counting, according to the laws of the Dragon Nation, these two people could be shot to death hundreds of times.
“This mission is the first and only Class SSS credit mission since the establishment of the Seventh Sage Martial University …”
Zhao Kangtai picked up a pot of boiling hot water and slowly poured it over his purple clay teapot. Faint white steam rose.
“The cause was an ordinary worker in a garment factory. His two daughters were killed by Lian Ye. He couldn’t ask for help, so he knelt outside the Seventh Sage Martial University’s Sage Martial Tower for more than half a month. The Martial Sage couldn’t bear it, so he decided to add the mission to kill Lian Ye into the Seven Sage Martial University’s credit mission. In order to prevent students from mistakenly accepting the mission, the mission was rated as Class SSS and the mission reward was canceled …”
“Why didn’t the Martial Sage do it directly? Or you, vice-principals who are also Level 7 Masters, can do it, but you insist on letting the students do it, and there are no benefits, only trouble … ”
Lu Sheng flipped through the mission information and said calmly.
Zhao Kangtai’s expression turned serious. “Lu Sheng, be careful with your words!”
“Do you know how big of a disturbance a Martial Sage can cause in the country? There were too many things involved in this matter. Naturally, the Martial Sage had his own reasons for doing so. Killing a Level 5 Martial Artist who was filled with evil would mean risking the revenge of a Level 7 Master. Let’s see which of you youngsters has the guts to do it …”
Lu Sheng said calmly, “It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty. The fact that you marked this mission as Class SSS level already means everything.”
And it was not only the revenge of a Level 7 Master, but also the revenge of the Extreme Dao Martial Academy. And there’s no benefit to it …”
Zhao Kangtai calmly poured Lu Sheng another cup of tea and said, “Lu Sheng, you can’t calculate the pros and cons like this. Lian Ye and his father have the Extreme Dao Martial Academy and Extreme Dao Martial Sages behind them. You also have the Seven Sage Martial University and Martial Sage Tan behind you. Do you know what it means to be the last disciple of a Martial Sage? It means that your future path of martial arts will be smooth, whether it’s resources, pointers, or any other aspect.”
“I understand.”
Lu Sheng’s expression was very calm. He thought for a while and said, “Do you have the address of the clothing factory worker you just mentioned who knelt in front of the Sage Martial Tower for more than half a month? Give me one.”
Zhao Kangtai was stunned for a moment, then said, “I’ll have someone send it to your student email later.”
Lu Sheng nodded and stood up from the sofa.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“Okay.”
When Lu Sheng was about to walk out of the office, Zhao Kangtai suddenly stood up.
“Lu Sheng, wait.”
Lu Sheng stopped and looked back at him.
Zhao Kangtai quickly walked to the wall and took down the calligraphy that he had asked Lu Sheng’s help in setting it up right. He rolled it up and handed it to Lu Sheng. He said seriously, “Two choices. Don’t rush to make a decision. Go back and think about it. This calligraphy is for you. Lu Sheng, your talent is very good. In the future, you may surpass me, surpass most people …”
Zhao Kangtai patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder. He hesitated for a moment and said, “This is a personal test from the Martial Sage. It’s just your heart. I hope you understand what I’m saying.”
After that, he shook his head and walked back.
Lu Sheng’s eyes flashed. He didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Not long after Lu Sheng left, a middle-aged man dressed similarly to Zhao Kangtai strode into the office with a majestic gait.
“Old Zhao, you’ve said too much to Lu Sheng today.”
The man sat in front of the coffee table and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Zhao Kangtai’s expression was complicated. He said in a low voice, “I know. I just don’t want to … miss such a good seedling.”
“Only those who can pass the Martial Sage’s test are truly good seedlings. If not …” The man shook his head and drank the hot tea in his hand.
“A young Martial Sage, no matter how good his talent is, it’s useless.”
Zhao Kangtai was silent.
…
Lu Sheng was on his way back to the dormitory.
He was holding two kraft paper bags and a calligraphy and painting in his hand. He was still thinking about what Zhao Kangtai had said to him in the office just now.
“It seems that there are two choices, but in fact, there should only be one choice …”
“Zhao Kangtai almost wrote the words’ the second choice is the right choice ’on his face. If I still can’t see it, I’m a fool.”
“However, seeing it is one thing. Doing it after seeing it … is another thing.”
Lu Sheng looked at the calligraphy Zhao Kangtai gave him.
“It’s just my heart.”
Lu Sheng read these words in a low voice.
“If it’s really just my heart, then I’ll definitely choose the first choice.”
“Why would I look for trouble and make enemies with a Martial Sage level force …”
Those people and their families who were killed by Lian Ye and his father were really miserable.
Lian Ye and his father really deserved to die.
But it didn’t mean that Lu Sheng had to be hot-blooded and help them.
The hot-blooded thing Lu Sheng had done in his life was foolishly taking the responsibility of being the savior of the world on himself like a chuunibyou.
