Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 293 - 166: Marrying No One but You

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, silently listening to Yang Yizhi’s words.

Yang Yizhi gently exhaled and turned to look at the flowing stream in the small valley, quietly saying:

"Heroes beget heroes; I thought, since Su Tianyang is a hero, how could his son be anything but competent?

"Yet, it turns out, the character of boys and girls can be entirely different.

"My daughter is naturally forthright and fearless, unlike men, whereas Su Tianyang’s son turned out to be an ineffectual noble."

Yang Xiaoyun subconsciously glanced at Su Mo, noticing his face showed no displeasure, just a bit of awkwardness.

Just as she was about to remind Yang Yizhi, she heard him continue:

"Nonetheless, that does not matter.

"You grew up together like childhood sweethearts; Yun’er is naturally righteous, resembling more of me in her temperament than her mother.

"With Yun’er to support you, and both of us old folks by your side, you could still have a comfortable life.

"But who could expect, unexpected storms arise, and fortunes can change overnight.

"Su Tianyang... silently and secretly, died.

"This incident, the implications are far more complex than you can imagine.

"Even a force like the Three Extremes Sect is not the ultimate mastermind behind this.

"Therefore, since the day of his death, I have been investigating this matter..."

At this point, he turned back to look at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, "The reason I was reluctant to tell you was that I didn’t want you to be dragged into this overwhelming storm.

"Especially Mo’er... Back then, you truly weren’t capable.

"Even so, you are his son, just like a son to me.

"Your father and I were sworn brothers, our bond forged amidst life and death. Even if you achieved nothing, how could I stand by and do nothing?

"Yet... if I treated you too well, my actions thereafter would inevitably bring you and Yun’er immense disasters!

"Do you understand?"

Su Mo lightly nodded; he had already understood Yang Yizhi’s intentions without needing it explained this far.

Yet he was quite shocked by the mention of the extensive implications, and that even the Three Extremes Sect wasn’t the true mastermind.

From the fact that both Yang Yizhi and Yu Lingxin have set up traps to capture the Heavenly Gate Master, hints could be seen.

But... for the Three Extremes Sect to have reached such a stage, it was considered a colossal entity throughout Donghuang.

That such an extensive sect still has a hand pushing from behind?

What exactly did Su Tianyang do in those years?

Who truly dealt him the lethal blow?

While Su Mo was deep in thought, he heard Yang Xiaoyun speak:

"Then... what do you mean by saying you owe me?"

"...My friendship with Su Tianyang was between us. If Mo’er remained incompetent, with Su Tianyang around, you wouldn’t be wronged.

"But, Su Tianyang died. Leaving only Mo’er alone and helpless...

"I ultimately need to plan for your future.

"The matter of Su Tianyang is no trivial matter; if I get deeply involved, both of you must dissociate from this matter.

"Therefore, before this, I strove to grow the Iron Blood Escort Agency.

"Making it one of the three great escort agencies in Luoxia City... not that I couldn’t achieve greater, but I feared attracting trouble that might cause you more misfortune. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Thus, this title of ’one of the three’ was just right.

"When the right time comes, I would use an excuse to hand over the escort agency to you and Mo’er, giving you a livelihood.

"Not seeking fame in Jianghu, but simply ensuring you have enough to eat.

"Even if you were to sell the escort agency later, the money accumulated over these years would ensure you live without concerns.

"With Yun’er watching over him, he surely wouldn’t squander the family fortune with reckless spending; with this, I can rest easy about half.

"The other half, however, must rely on the Phoenix Alliance.

"This is also why I involved myself in the internal conflicts of the Phoenix Alliance.

"I have made it clear with them; if this succeeds, whatever troubles you face within Luoxia City, as long as it’s under the domain of the Phoenix Alliance, they cannot ignore it!

"I suspect, even if I die, it won’t be known in Jianghu.

"As long as they can’t confirm whether I am alive or dead, they must not ignore you and Mo’er.

"Otherwise, should I return one day, I will ensure the Phoenix Alliance will have no peace!"

At this point in his speech, Yang Yizhi’s eyes showed hints of pity: "This move should indeed allow Mo’er to have some support in the future, and I am fulfilling my obligation to Su Tianyang, honoring our life-and-death friendship.

"The only thing that often leaves me uneasy is... I have pushed you into this fire pit.

"If Mo’er remains as clueless as before, inevitably, all burdens would fall on you.

"If I had replaced him with a more heroic young man, you would not have had to suffer so...

"This is where I have wronged you."

Yang Xiaoyun sighed deeply, her eyes reddening slightly, shaking her head gently:

"Dad, who are you underestimating?

"You’re belittling your own daughter... no matter if Xiao Mo is incompetent or talented, in this lifetime, she’s his wife.

"How could the daughter of the Yang Family be promised to two families?

"Moreover... you’re also underestimating Xiao Mo.
