Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 573: Chapter 258 Stealing Leisure Time_3

“This news arrived much earlier than your return. I knew then that your journey would certainly be extremely perilous.

“Unexpectedly, it turned into a direct clash with the schemes of the Night Lord.

“It seems that the Night Lord had long plotted around the riverfront, yet his aim was not merely that territory.”

“He wanted the riverfront area for some other purpose.”

Su Mo smiled slightly: “He just wanted to take control of this traffic hub. If he succeeds, the Southwest will face endless troubles thereafter.”

“Even so, the Southwest will not be stable.”

Yang Xiaoyun frowned slightly: “The Night Lord, considering the broader situation in Donghuang!

“He set his plans along the river and we disrupted them. Using this, he concocted a ’strike east, act west’ strategy, openly repaired the walkways but secretly prepared, ambushing at Qingxiu Mountain City, ultimately aiming to target Chimei Forest.

“Then, a letter lured the Youquan Sect master into Tianqu City, where you killed him.

“Looking at his scheming, this is probably not all of it.”

“Do you remember that Ren Xiongfei from Wusheng Hall I mentioned before?”

“Of course, I remember.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded her head.

“I once used this to test the Night Lord in Wangliang Courtyard.”

Su Mo smiled again: “The Night Lord recognized me on the spot, knowing I was definitely not Ren Xiongfei.”

“…Dongcheng and Wangsheng Hall are thousands of miles apart.

“Even if the Night Lord has numerous informants, it’s absolutely impossible for him to know you are not Ren Xiongfei in an instant.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “It seems that Ren Xiongfei indeed is a chess piece the Night Lord placed within Wusheng Hall. Those thugs that Manager He of He Family Inn encountered also stemmed from this.”

Speaking to this point, Yang Xiaoyun suddenly glanced at Su Mo:

“Is the Night Lord plotting against the Luofeng Alliance?”

“Not just the Luofeng Alliance…”

Su Mo looked at her: “He wants to take over Wusheng Hall first.”

“…Is it related to that plan involving Wan Cangxin?”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately thought of this point.

Su Mo nodded: “What I told Wan Cangxin before was actually the worst strategy…”

“The worst strategy?”

Yang Xiaoyun was startled, as Su Mo had just told her about Wan Cangxin’s origins and the Night Lord’s schemes regarding Wan Cangxin.

It was nothing but to ensure this faux relationship between the siblings was confirmed.

Then to have the fake Wan Cangxin admit to this…

Such a scheme could overturn the entire Wusheng Hall.

How could it possibly be the worst strategy?

But she saw the gleam in Su Mo’s eyes looking toward her: “What if Wan Yutang really is Wan Cangxin’s father?”

“…”

Yang Xiaoyun was stunned: “If that is truly the case…”

In the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened: “You mean?”

“If this matter is true, it will certainly not be announced.

“If I were the Night Lord, I would totally control this point, conquer without a fight.

“Just by using Ren Xiongfei, passing this message to Wan Yutang… If Wan Yutang doesn’t want this revealed, he would have to obey the Night Lord’s commands.

“What do you think, how would Wan Yutang choose?”

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but inhale sharply: “This decades-long setup, indeed there is such a possibility.

“You… you thought of this point then, but didn’t tell Wan Cangxin?”

“How could I say it?”

Su Mo sighed: “He was intent on dying at that moment; if I had shared this speculation, would he still have the courage to return to Wusheng Hall? This truth, for him, is too cruel.

“And moreover… Is what I said really the truth?

“It’s just a speculative guess and doesn’t represent the final truth.

“The reality is even more outrageous than we imagined…”

“This…”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “Now that Wan Cangxin has gone to Wusheng Hall, if it’s confirmed that he is the son of Wan Yutang, what should be done?”

“This matter won’t be easily investigated.”

Su Mo said: “Moreover, I need to make a trip to Wusheng Hall myself… no, we both need to.”

He said this, tightening Yang Xiaoyun’s hand: “Things back at Ziyang Escort Agency should have settled for now. I no longer wish to leave you at home and travel Jianghu alone.”

It was rare for Su Mo to show such emotion, and Yang Xiaoyun’s heart was filled with joy, yet in the next moment, her eyes sparkled:

“You suddenly want to go to Wusheng Hall, could it be because of Xu Lu’s letter?”

“Exactly.”

Su Mo then repeated the contents of Yang Yizhi’s letter to Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun repeatedly nodded: “It seems we really should not delay any more within the escort agency…. But, but after all this travel, you must take a break, right?”

“There’s no time to delay…”

Su Mo sighed: “Uncle Yang has been waiting there for so long, how could I let him wait longer? And all these matters, if they don’t reach a resolution… how could I rest at ease?”

“How about asking Dad to wait another two days?”

Yang Xiaoyun squinted her eyes: “With Aunt Ling and others there, it shouldn’t let him act rashly, especially after such a long time.”

“If your dad finds out there’s a leak in his padded jacket, wouldn’t he be at odds with me?”

Su Mo shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the sky, and said: “It’s getting late, we can’t keep blocking the door forever. If it doesn’t work out, let’s sneak in through the back door.”

“Alright.”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately nodded, as she always listened to whatever Su Mo said.

She then led Su Mo back to the escort agency.

But on the way there, while rushing to the escort agency, Yang Xiaoyun mentioned:

“Ever since you made a name in Tianqu City, orders have flown into the escort agency like snowflakes.

“Among these were many to Wusheng Hall, but since we hadn’t taken that route yet, they all got put on hold.

“Have you thought of a reason to make a trip to Wusheng Hall?”

“Find an appropriate escort mission, nothing too heavy, go lightly equipped.

“And then…”

Su Mo repeated his earlier thoughts to Yang Xiaoyun.

After Yang Xiaoyun heard it all, she was silent for a long while: “What sins did Wan Cangxin commit in his previous life? He was schemed against by the Night Lord for half his life, and now he’s being used by you.”

Su Mo was startled, as he had not thought of this before.

Upon Yang Xiaoyun’s reminder, he felt a mix of laughter and helplessness and ultimately, helplessly shook his head:

“Can’t help it, who made him so useful?”
