Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1240 - 480: He’s Trying to Trick Me (3)

"However, compared to that, I would rather we find a good place for the few of us and live our small lives comfortably."

Su Mo didn't take the bait, he just said:

"It's easy to dream big dreams for a thousand years...

"But what if the Deputy Hall Master wants us to be part of this dream?"

"Hmm?"

Yang Xiaoyun suddenly looked at Su Mo:

"Are you saying?"

"Didn't I already say it?"

Su Mo smiled lightly: "He wants to deceive me..."

Yang Xiaoyun took a deep breath:

"So, you started probing the Deputy Hall Master about the Xuantian Treasure Seal?

"You did it on purpose!!"

"Killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

Su Mo's lips curled into a slight smile.

Yang Xiaoyun looked deeply at Su Mo, which finally put together the Deputy Hall Master's actions, his words, and Su Mo's responses in her mind.

Last night, between Su Mo and the Deputy Hall Master, there was an invisible test.

But the Deputy Hall Master, ever since Su Mo had Lie Huo sell news to Tianji Pavilion, had already started planning.

Therefore, Mo Suiyu handing over the Dark Dragon Order and the Cangming Strategy was the first action of the Deputy Hall Master.

This was a deliberate act of surrendering control!

Just like Su Mo said, the Dark Dragon Hall completely handed their necks to Su Mo, and then gave him the handle of the knife.

Letting him cut whenever he wishes.

Subsequently, the rhetoric was full of illusions and reality.

Through a baseless, long-untraceable story, Su Mo was given a fictitious identity.

It seemed to explain everything, but clearly, something was lacking.

And this missing part didn't need to be completely filled in because Su Mo would accept it!

The reason for accepting... is the Xuantian Treasure Seal.

After the story was finished, the Deputy Hall Master smoothly raised the question of whether the Xuantian Treasure Seal was in Su Mo's possession.

This focussed the entire matter around this object.

This move had two purposes.

The first was to test if Su Mo had the Xuantian Treasure Seal.

The second was if Su Mo did not have the Xuantian Treasure Seal, would he be tempted by such a supreme treasure?

In the past, Su Mo was the number one martial artist in Donghuang, but he was merely an escort master.

But now, with the notion of having the 'Array Master's bloodline', even if he got the Xuantian Treasure Seal, he could keep it for himself.

Given his martial arts skills and age.

If he continually fails to find the Imperial Family bloodline...

Should Su Mo have some ambition, wouldn't he want to rally troops and establish himself as a king!?

Even if he couldn't achieve this.

The Array Master's bloodline, Su Mo obtaining it, would be all benefits and no harm.

Not only would the people of Imperial Dao thereafter bow to him, but if he had any objectives, he could use Imperial Dao to achieve them!

In feelings and reason, Su Mo shouldn't refuse.

Unless… he genuinely had no ambition at all.

In fact, Su Mo indeed wasn't interested in this area.

But he was very interested in Imperial Dao.

Thus, his probing into the clues of the Xuantian Treasure Seal was to display his ambition.

Of course...he wouldn't pursue it like a fool, demanding relentlessly.

Displaying the appropriate attitude was enough.

This Deputy Hall Master of Dark Dragon Hall is exceptionally clever. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, clever people cannot avoid overthinking.

Touching on the topic briefly was enough to provoke his speculation.

Saying too much results in flaws instead.

The Deputy Hall Master indeed spoke too much...

In this way, the Deputy Hall Master discovered Su Mo's ambition, feeling his strategies were fruitful.

Su Mo feigned a layer of identity and gained support from Imperial Dao.

This is what Su Mo meant by killing two birds with one stone.

After this matter, both parties reached an understanding.

The meeting ended here.

Yet... affairs were not concluded.

Giving Su Mo the Dark Dragon Order was insufficiently justified, Su Mo accepted based on his 'ambition.'

But why would Imperial Dao 'surrender control'?

This question inevitably needed Su Mo to ponder.

Ultimately...the answer Yang Xiaoyun just obtained might weigh upon his mind.

Perhaps his identity holds great Mystical secrets?

Recalling the Deputy Hall Master's words.

For hundreds of years, Imperial Dao has been searching for the Da Xuan Dynasty's Imperial Family bloodline.

Yet they haven't found the Imperial Family bloodline but have discovered the Array Master's bloodline?

Does this really make sense?

What if... the one they found isn't the Array Master's bloodline, but inherently the Imperial Family bloodline?

What if he is indeed an heir of the Da Xuan Dynasty's Imperial Family?

Once this thought emerges, previously irrational matters would become rational.

Even though certain things remain irrational still, they might automatically become rational in his mind, and he would consciously find reasons for these irrational issues, making them rational.

For instance…

Given his Imperial Family bloodline, why would the Deputy Hall Master not reveal directly?

Oh, as the saying goes, a master chooses the divine weapon, and the divine weapon chooses its master.

Imperial Dao is a national intricacy; it wouldn't easily be handed over.

They wish to test him? To see if he possesses the caliber to become a sovereign?

Once such fantasies arise, one will undoubtedly become engrossed.

If Su Mo's mind becomes enthralled with this belief that he is destined by fate, then the day of doom for him is uncertain.

Yang Xiaoyun thought until this point, and his expression showed concern:

"Such intent... can be described as wicked!"

"Lady, please don't be upset."

Su Mo said with a smile:

"This is just our speculation after all...

"What if... I truly am of Imperial Family bloodline?

"The pondering that happened just now was merely mental sparring with thin air, then what?"

"This..."

Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but glance at Su Mo:

"Husband, involving such matters, you can still remain so calm, truly remarkable."

"Do you still remember that saying?"

Su Mo took Yang Xiaoyun's hand:

"Praised by the world without being elated, criticized by the world without being demoralized.

"Whether being the number one in Donghuang or holding any other identity.

"Su Mo will always be Su Mo, living as I wish, undisturbed by external things.

"The Deputy Hall Master possesses some schemes here regarding Imperial Dao's hidden mysteries.

"I plan to explore the depths of it...

"As for this identity.

"Even if it truly is the Imperial bloodline, so what?

"The Deputy Hall Master using the metaphor of 'With each year, flowers remain similar but people change' subtly alludes to the changing nature of hearts, which resonates with me.

"The hundreds-year tradition of Imperial Dao, do they genuinely care about Da Xuan's orthodox?

"Even if initially they did, does that remain the same now?

"The issue before us now is a choice … whether or not to leverage Imperial Dao against Jinglong Association, that's all."
