Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 415 - 206 Jiuying_2

"But..."

She shook her head gently, "After I picked you up, my palm felt a soft and mushy spot, and momentarily I almost forgot what I had to do. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"When you were in my palm, you seemed uncomfortable, flailing about with your limbs for a moment before suddenly opening your eyes.

"At that time, I was sneaking around with a guilty conscience; when you opened your eyes, I feared even more that you would cry out loud.

"Just as I wanted to cover your mouth and smother you to death, to my surprise, you smiled at me.

"That smile, somehow, made my heart soften as well.

"But... but you were so terribly annoying.

"Taking advantage of my distraction, you actually peed all over me."

At this point, she glared fiercely at Su Mo.

"..."

For a moment, Su Mo did not know what to say— not to mention that he had not yet crossed over at that time, and even if he were to accept the consequences, he was still a child then, who could control eating and excretion?

He could only bow with his hands clasped and say, "This... is indeed the junior’s fault."

"Humph, who wanted you to admit fault?"

The woman glanced coldly at Su Mo and then continued:

"Imagine, as a disciple of the mighty Lengyue Palace, traveling through Jianghu, known by some as the wielder of the Cold Rain Flying Star Sword.

"Sneaking into an escort agency to assassinate a child who was not yet a month old, was already beneath my dignity.

"To end up leaving in such an embarrassing state... You little thief, you truly are detestable."

Although she said "truly detestable," the dissatisfaction and killing intent that were in her voice earlier had already vanished like smoke into thin air.

Instead, a smile appeared on her lips, but that smile never fully blossomed and instead turned into a long sigh.

"After that, I headed back to Dongcheng, growing more frightened and apprehensive with each step I took.

"What would I have done had I really struck you dead with a palm strike, or smothered you to death that day?

"What was the right thing to do?

"It was only then that I realized how complex the matter of feelings is.

"It can bring out the best in people, but it can also distort them beyond recognition."

Having said this, she looked up at Su Mo, "So, the question remains the same... Do you know what love between a man and a woman is?"

"...To my understanding, it is mutual affection," Su Mo chose his words carefully.

"Mutual affection..." The woman sighed softly, "What a mutual affection indeed, but can such deep emotions justify betrayal?"

"This..."

Su Mo’s brow furrowed slightly, then he shook his head, "The junior is young and naive, I really cannot answer this question.

"However, not long ago, I came across a letter left by my late father.

"He bluntly stated that there were four great regrets in his life, and the first was failing many."

"Failing many..."

Those words seemed to send the woman into a trance.

She took a couple of steps forward and then suddenly turned back to look at Su Mo, her eyes filled with even more annoyance.

"You..."

She uttered a word, then stopped short, knowing that all this anger should not be directed at Su Mo, and sighed:

"Make sure you don’t follow in his footsteps."

"...The junior naturally won’t."

"It’s too early to say that."

The woman shook her head, raising her eyes again to Su Mo, her gaze regaining its icy clarity:

"Your father regretted failing many; since he considered it a lifelong regret,

"I hope you will give more thought to your actions in the future.

"To me, the so-called love between men and women is the deadliest poison on Earth.

"Yet it’s a poison that no mortal can avoid.

"Hopefully, you will sip carefully.

"There’s no need to shun it as if it were a venomous snake or scorpion, but don’t indulge excessively either, lest you end up suffering for it."

"I will keep it in mind," Su Mo said earnestly, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Go," the woman waved her hand indifferently, propping her chin with one hand, "In three days, Liu Suifeng will come to Lengyue Palace personally. At that time, I will face him, and you may stay to watch."

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then finally nodded:

"Alright."

Just as he was about to turn around, he stopped, looking back at the woman.

However, she remained fixedly looking at the table in front of her.

After pondering for a while, Su Mo chose to remain silent and stepped away.

Opening the door, he saw Wei Ziyi sitting on the stairway below, drawing with her sword scabbard on the ground.

On tiptoe, Su Mo looked over and was relieved to see she was not drawing circles.

"What are you looking at?"

Wei Ziyi suddenly turned around, "Haven’t you heard, ’Do not gaze upon what is not proper?’"

"...Can that phrase be applied here?"

Su Mo was at a loss for words.

"If I want to use it, it can. Can you control that?" Wei Ziyi scoffed.

Su Mo realized that this girl was becoming increasingly unreasonable.

Not wanting to stoop to her level, he relayed, "Your master invited me to stay in Lengyue Palace for a few days and observe the upcoming fight between her and Liu Suifeng in three days."

"My master will fight?"

Wei Ziyi exclaimed in surprise, "It’s been a long time since she made a move, but if she does, Liu Suifeng is probably in danger. He’s already losing before reaching Tianqu City."

"...Not necessarily."

Su Mo shook his head.

"What do you mean by that?"

Wei Ziyi, somewhat irked, felt Su Mo was looking down on her master.

But she quickly remembered that Su Mo was not that kind of person.

If he spoke, he had his reasons.

Moreover, this man had formidable martial arts and a deep connection with Liu Suifeng. His words at this moment might carry some certainty or mention something unknown to her.

She immediately asked, "Please enlighten me, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort."
