Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 1289 - 497: Gone Mad?
Capítulo 1289: Chapter 497: Gone Mad?
The sun was already high in the sky when Su Mo lazily got out of bed.
He had been busy the previous night, being lured away, and then everything culminated in him infiltrating Nanhai Alliance’s Gao Tianqi’s residence, eventually capturing an Eldest Young Master.
After all the hustle, he finally got back to sleep.
However, these were not the reasons why Su Mo lingered in bed.
The real reason was Chen Dinghai, who was under Gao Tianqi from the Nanhai Alliance.
Early in the morning, he showed up with Gao Tianqi’s visiting card, waiting in the courtyard.
He was told that the Chief Escort Leader had not risen yet.
He didn’t mind, just stood there with the visiting card, with a very respectful attitude.
Zhen Xiaoxiao swung a big broom to sweep the courtyard.
He obediently went outside to wait.
After Zhen Xiaoxiao finished her chores and after seeking permission, he returned to the courtyard and stood there again.
He showed indeed determination and perseverance.
Yang Xiaoyun heard Su Mo stirring behind her and glanced back at him:
“He’s still here.”
“He’s not going to give up easily.”
Su Mo chuckled indifferently and got up to walk to the table.
Yang Xiaoyun poured him a cup of tea:
“You don’t hit a smiling face—whatever this person does, he always keeps a smile, even Xiaoxiao can’t bring herself to scold him now.
“However, Gao Tianqi sent a visiting card early this morning.
“Obviously, he knows last night’s affair was your doing.”
“A little thought, and he could guess it.
“Currently, counting the Qi Family, there aren’t many who could pull this off.
“To say there’s suddenly a great master popping up from the Nanhai… that’d be hard to believe.”
Su Mo pointed to his own head:
“Look, with the glaring title of ‘Donghuang’s No.1 Expert’ over my head, isn’t it crystal clear?”
“Hahaha.”
Yang Xiaoyun was amused by Su Mo and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him:
“So what are you going to do? Flip the table now?
“I could go out with my nose in the air and tell that Chen Dinghai, my husband has no time to bother with your Alliance Leader.
“If your Alliance Leader wants to meet, he should come to see my husband?
“If my husband is free, he might deign to meet him?”
Su Mo almost spat out his tea.
After a couple of coughs, he finally swallowed it, reached out, and tapped Yang Xiaoyun on the forehead:
“That doesn’t sound like you at all…
“We’ve kept him waiting long enough.
“The Nanhai Alliance Leader holds a high position, and he’s a senior in the Jianghu. At his age, to come with sincerity, and not meeting him would be improper.
“People might say the Donghuang’s No.1 Expert is so arrogant as to let the Nanhai Alliance Leader, who’s over seventy, come to pay respects to a youngster…
“That’s not good to hear.
“Besides… I’m rather curious what he really wants from me this time?”
“What do you think he wants to say?”
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo tapped on the table softly, saying in a low voice:
“After last night, with the way I handled things, I reckon Gao Tianqi’s in a tight spot right now.
“The imminent pressure from the Dragon King Hall, and Gui Ruins Island’s whereabouts still unknown—though I imagine they wouldn’t miss such a big spectacle.
“A wolf at the front door, a tiger at the back.
“And now the Qi Family, which could have been an ally, is at odds with him.
“In such circumstances…
“He might want to kill me to eliminate this Qi Family variable.
“Or maybe…”
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking.
Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at him: “Playing mysterious again.”
“Meeting him will explain it all.”
Su Mo stood up:
“Would my lady care to join me?”
“What good comes from a woman meddling in men’s conversation?”
Yang Xiaoyun shook her head:
“Moreover, if he wants to plead for mercy, wouldn’t he be too embarrassed to speak in my presence?”
Su Mo was momentarily speechless:
“What if he wants to kill me?”
“Then you just kill him, and that’s that.”
Yang Xiaoyun said matter-of-factly.
Su Mo felt even more helpless:
“The Haori Golden Blade isn’t visible yet, where would I get such a treasure to kill him…”
“True enough.”
Yang Xiaoyun nodded immediately: “In last night’s rush, I didn’t have time to interrogate that Gao Guiyuan.
“You go see what kind of trick Gao Tianqi has up his sleeve.
“Come back and ask Gao Guiyuan about the whereabouts of the Haori Golden Blade.
“It would put one worry to rest.”
Su Mo suddenly wanted to speak but stopped.
All this time, it’s been three days since he last helped Wei Ziyi with the transfer of Pure Yang Inner Power.
It was only due to their joint practice of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Calming Heart Technique at Yusheng Island.
It greatly benefited Wei Ziyi’s injuries.
Thus, the intervals had been lengthened.
Yang Xiaoyun knew about this, yet she never said a word, clearly she was already making guesses.
But she patiently chose neither to inquire nor to mention, and whenever he wanted to speak, she wouldn’t let him start.
This always made Su Mo think that maybe Yang Xiaoyun and Wei Ziyi have already reached some kind of understanding?
Or perhaps… they share a special bond?
Su Mo couldn’t help but let his mind wander, increasingly unreliable thoughts popping up.
Finally, he decided to meet Gao Tianqi first, and then deal with everything else.
He stood up immediately, with Yang Xiaoyun attending to his grooming and helping him with his clothes.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Mo only grew fonder.
Clearly a woman who stands shoulder to shoulder with men, valiant and heroic.
Yet, she was always accommodating to him.
Back when they first got married, she wanted to assist him in washing and dressing, which Su Mo wasn’t in favor of, but he couldn’t resist her persistence.
Su Mo watched as she went from clumsy to skillful.
Now, Su Mo found he had grown accustomed to it.
