Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 307 - 170 Spider Silk Traces_2

"I know."

Yang Yizhi calmly spoke: "If he had such thoughts, I wouldn’t have lived till now. But precisely because he didn’t... that makes it even more infuriating!"

He suddenly stood up:

"I and your father, we clapped hands and made a grave pact, heads knocked on the ground together in a sworn brotherhood.

"What was that vow?

"’Heaven above us, thick earth beneath us, we do not seek to live together, but to die together!’

"And what happened?

"What came of it!?

"He died stealthily on his own!!

"In my life, Yang Yizhi detests most those who are indecisive, disloyal, and treacherous.

"By doing so, isn’t he forcing me to become such a person too?

"And besides... who did he think he could deceive?

"Apart from deceiving others, how many around him could he really keep in the dark?

"Wishfully choosing his own death, he left your mother to die of grief.

"Ling Hongxia rushed thousands of miles to infiltrate the Ziyang Escort Agency to steal his corpse, but I stopped her.

"Even the lady from the Lengyue Palace headed south because of this, if it weren’t for Duan Song’s timely interception, your tiny Ziyang Escort Agency would have been in chaos!

"Even Li Siyun, that turtle hiding in his shell, upon hearing of his death, also came.

"These people... are the very ones he wanted to protect.

"We are all alive, yet worse off than dead!

"Since that day, Ling Hongxia wandered Jianghu just to uncover the truth of this matter.

"Li Siyun has since disappeared, and now you tell me he has taken his own life... good riddance! He deserved to die the most!

"I tried every means to keep you out of this incident, not letting you step in, yet it’s him, thinking that training you in the Yixuan Divine Skill, he dragged you into this trouble.

"Your father has already died because of this, why should he also drag you into suffering?

"Such a damned person... what right does he have?"

Yang Yizhi grew more and more angry, his hands even trembling.

At last, catching his breath, he raised his head and looked at Su Mo:

"Mo’er, in this world, dying is the simplest of all.

"Rather, it is living... that is more excruciating."

"...Li Siyun’s actions were not deliberate."

Su Mo sighed: "That day he told me, on Jianghu, anyone could die but I absolutely could not.

"At that moment, I didn’t understand his words, but now I do."

"His life was entirely saved by your father, he could never repay that debt in eight lifetimes, him saying those words means he’s not ungrateful."

Yang Yizhi was still somewhat angry.

"Did Uncle Yang know about his plans?"

"Yes."

"So, he would rather take his life than to tell me half a word about this."

Su Mo looked up at Yang Yizhi:

"Uncle Yang, about this matter... shall we take the long view?

"Jianghu is full of turmoil, changes happen in the blink of an eye, truly difficult to predict.

"You faked your death this time to use the Mandarin Duck List as a lure.

"You intended to wipe out the Three Extremes Sect once and for all.

"To cut off all involvement but did not foresee that the Heavenly Gate Master is inscrutable, almost making your efforts go in vain, isn’t it?

"From this, it can be seen that the person behind this is no ordinary one.

"With you alone, it is truly difficult to succeed."

"Mo’er, you indeed see things quite clearly."

Yang Yizhi nodded:

"It is often said, man proposes, God disposes.

"This twist of events is something I had not anticipated.

"When Cloud Catcher Xu Ruoshen first approached me, I already sensed he had ulterior motives.

"However, I did not refuse him at the doorstep, but instead welcomed him warmly.

"The Three Extremes Sect sent this person to probe my foundation. If I didn’t want to, I could have dismissed him at any time.

"Yet, I used him for another plan.

"This plotting against the Three Extremes Sect was exactly using this person to the fullest.

"That Xu Ruoshen, was killed by my own hands.

"Through his death, I seamlessly stayed at Haoran Academy, thereby drawing out Liu Yun Scholar, who has long been leaking traces yet remained clueless.

"Bringing the three of them together, thus unlocking the secret storage.

"To then set a trap to capture the Heavenly Gate Master...

"Only I didn’t expect the Heavenly Gate Master’s martial arts to have reached such a state.

"To me, it was rushing things a bit too much.

"The movements of the Heavenly Gate Master are deeply hidden, an opportunity that is hard to come by in a thousand years. I truly did not want to miss it, otherwise, if I had learned a bit more... even if his martial arts were strong, it might not have been impossible to capture him."

Speaking to this point, Yang Yizhi gently shook his head: "But then, taking the long view, there’s not much to discuss.

"However, now that things have come to this point, I would like to ask you, now that you know all about what your father did, within the whole affair, have you gained any insights?"

Su Mo pondered lightly, then after a brief moment of contemplation, he finally said:

"Firstly, what exactly did Tong Yun say to my father back then?

"This must have been key in changing my father’s attitude.

"Uncle Yang, what you know might not be the full truth.

"Secondly my father went to Ziyang Sect back then, and after returning, his personality dramatically changed.

"Looking at it now, it was most likely made up.

"But what exactly happened inside Ziyang Sect?"

Yang Yizhi gently shook his head: "I once asked Duan Song about this matter; he said he didn’t know much.

"He only knew that trip was when your father went to Ziyang Sect to find the Sect Leader.

"And on the road, he encountered Duan Song and that person from Lengyue Palace...

"Thus knew that Youquan Sect, Eternal Night Valley, and Jile Heavenly Palace, the Three Great Demon Sects were making a concerted move to invade Tianqu City.
