Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 21.2: Perception

Uncle Zhao had suffered torture at the hands of the Ghost Cry Gang bandits, and he had hidden injuries on his body.

His reactions were understandably sluggish, and without someone like Meng Jintang to come to his aid and provide medical assistance, he breathed his last breath on the spot.

It was a tragic end for someone who had once made a name for himself in the martial world, ultimately meeting his demise at the hands of nameless thugs.

When Chen Shen returned to Helu Town, Uncle Zhao's body had already decayed in the courtyard. He was overwhelmed with grief and wanted to seek justice for the old man.

However, the troublemakers protected each other, and the ringleader had already fled to a distant place. With the limited abilities of the local authorities in Helu Town, it was almost impossible to track them down.

Uncle Zhao had left no last words, and with no close relatives by his side, all his belongings were taken over by the authorities.

However, considering Chen Shen's close relationship with Uncle Zhao, the officials in the government allowed him three days to take care of the old man's affairs. Afterward, he would have to pack his belongings and leave.

Chen Shen felt that Uncle Zhao had shown him kindness by offering him shelter, and the old man had died unjustly. Therefore, no matter what, he had to seek justice for him.

Whether he stayed in his hometown or roamed the martial world, there was little difference. So, he left Helu Town once again to pursue this mission of vindication.

As he traveled, Chen Shen occasionally pondered the patterns and inscriptions in the scroll. Whenever he did, he felt a stirring in his Dantian. With the situation as dire as it was, he thought that in his spare moments, he might as well practice according to the scroll's instructions.

Chen Shen had extraordinary natural talent, and even without a mentor by his side, after some time, he had made some significant progress.

He learned that the troublemaker might have gone to seek refuge with a distant uncle, so he followed the trail and coincidentally passed through an area not far from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy.

There, he encountered a formidable individual causing trouble for a group of people. Among those being harassed, he recognized one of his "senior brothers" from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy.

Out of loyalty and friendship from their past, he stepped in to help fend off the troublemaker.

The senior brother from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy was more shocked than pleased to see Chen Shen come to his aid. He realized that Chen Shen had acquired martial skills and suspected that he might know the truth about what had happened in the past.

He thought that Chen Shen had come seeking revenge on behalf of those from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy. The reason Chen Shen helped fend off the troublemaker was likely because he didn't want to rely on others to seek revenge and intended to take matters into his own hands.

So, no matter how friendly Chen Shen appeared, to those with a guilty conscience, he seemed crafty and deceitful, harboring ill intentions.

Once the senior brother returned to the martial arts academy, he immediately informed the academy's master about Chen Shen's intention to seek revenge.

Since the master had devised a plan to acquire the sword manual through enrollment, it was clear that their moral standards were aligned. The master believed that if Chen Shen was going to take action, they should strike first to gain the upper hand.

The master pondered late into the night, channeling the same determination he had when he deceived Chen Shen for the sword manual.

In the end, he settled on a strategy that involved leveraging external forces and devised a detailed plan for framing and trapping Chen Shen.

Comments from fortunate players who had experienced this storyline on forums suggested that the martial arts academy's master should have given up on such a futile pursuit in the martial world and waited to be phased out by the tide of the martial world.

Most people who came up with such plans needed to break through the limits of their moral character, but the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy's master was different; he needed to break through the limits of his own intelligence.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a renowned hero happened to visit the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy. This individual was known for abhorring evil, but their martial skills were rather ordinary.

Accompanying them was their daughter, who had absolutely no martial prowess, making them the perfect candidates for the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy's malevolent plans against unsuspecting victims.

Because Chen Shen was from out of town, his clothing style and accent were different from the locals. Following the master's orders, the senior brother learned a few phrases in the local accent and smeared some dirt on his face.

Late at night, he sneaked into the young lady's chamber. To ensure the plan went off without a hitch, they had purposely arranged the young lady's accommodation in a secluded area.

At that moment, with darkness surrounding them, they had also replaced the regular lamp oil in her room with low-intensity, smoky, and poor-quality oil used by the kitchen staff.

When they entered, they intentionally extinguished the lamp, making it difficult for the young lady to see the intruder's clothing clearly, let alone his face.

Upon seeing the intruder, the young lady naturally screamed loudly. The senior brother pretended to be frightened, using Chen Shen's accent to utter a few profanities before escaping through the window.

The master of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy had a narrow-minded mentality and often judged others based on his own character.

When devising the plan, the reason he didn't go all out with extreme cruelty was his concern that the renowned hero might think that after his daughter was rescued by "Chen Shen," he might see Chen Shen as a talented individual and decide to marry his daughter off to him, thus turning a bad situation into a good one.

Because of this incident, in the fan fiction section of the game forums, in any derivative works related to the above storyline, the master of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Academy and his lackeys never once benefited....
