Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 527 - 243: Unraveling the Cocoon_2

"After bringing you into the Eternal Night Valley to be raised, it would have been easier for him to control you.

"It seems, then, that he might not have known about this from the beginning.

"He must have found out later and then took the time to find you...

"However, he certainly wouldn’t have expended such enormous efforts on this matter. If he hadn’t found you within a year or two, he could have found someone else to fulfill this role.

"And yet, he actually did find you."

Su Mo exhaled lightly:

"Then, another question arises."

"..."

Wan Cangxin felt his mind was no longer sufficient.

When Su Mo spoke, he had the feeling that Su Mo was right and made a lot of sense!

But before Su Mo spoke, he couldn’t figure out what Su Mo would say next.

"How did the Night Lord come to know about this?"

Su Mo suddenly looked towards Wan Cangxin: "Let’s first assume that Wan Yutang is indeed Wan Ren Mountain.

"After he fathered you with your mother, why didn’t he come back to find you?

"Counting the years, it’s been at least over twenty years now...

"Your mother had mentioned that your father returned to his origins to do something very important. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Twenty something years ago, we might not know other matters, but as far as I am aware, the biggest event that happened within Wusheng Hall

"Was the power succession!

"Wan Yutang ascended to the position of the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall twenty-two years ago!"

This was not a secret.

Wusheng Hall was neighboring the Luofeng Alliance, and perhaps the people within the Alliance might not know other matters in great detail.

But how could the transfer of leadership position in Wusheng Hall go unnoticed?

Whether it was the Heavenly Blade Sect, Luofeng Alliance, or even Wusheng Hall itself.

Not to mention the Dongcheng Sects.

A leadership transition could never be done in secret.

It had to be done with great fanfare, and they had to invite friends from all over Jianghu to come to the ceremony.

Of course, minor sects might not care, and even if the news reached them, they might not be interested.

However, if one does not know who the current Sect Leaders of the Seven Sects are, or who the leaders of the Luofeng Alliance and Heavenly Blade Sect are, it can lead to misunderstandings.

And sometimes, these kinds of misunderstandings can even be fatal.

Wan Cangxin tried to keep up with Su Mo’s train of thought, then said somewhat angrily:

"So, after he assumed the position of the Great Hall Master, he abandoned our mother and child?"

Su Mo glanced at Wan Cangxin:

"We’re just assuming for now, so don’t be hasty in drawing conclusions.

"Moreover, based on this assumption, it’s hard to say if it was abandonment or there were other reasons.

"Since Brother Wan has been in Wusheng Hall, you should know how terrifying internal struggles within a clan can be?

"At that time, immediately after ascending to the leadership position, Wan Yutang might have been unable to stabilize the situation or he was too overwhelmed.

"That’s why he couldn’t come to take you back."

"If that’s the case, that would indeed make sense."

Wan Cangxin said this, but then shook his head again: "But he has been in this position for many years, why didn’t he come looking?"

"...Are you sure he never looked?"

Su Mo’s brow furrowed slightly: "What I’m most curious about now is, since he has assumed the identity of Wan Ren Mountain to meet your mother in secret,

"How could the Night Lord possibly know the reasons behind it?

"So... I have three suspicions."

Wan Cangxin looked at Su Mo, gradually catching on to his thought process:

"Is Lord Su suggesting that, after he stabilized the situation, he wanted to come back for us, his wife and child.

"Only to find that my mother had passed away.

"And I was lost in the streets, nowhere to be found?"

"Exactly."

Su Mo nodded: "That’s the first thing. And in the process of looking for you, he might have left traces that allowed the Night Lord to discover him, hence finding you first.

"After all, the Night Lord, who has been scheming for years, knows much more about Dongcheng than Wan Yutang does.

"However... now that I think about it, this possibility seems extremely slim."

"Why?"

Wan Cangxin asked instinctively.

If what Su Mo said was true, and Wan Yutang hadn’t abandoned them but was merely a step too late,

Then he... at least wasn’t a man who abandoned his wife and child.

Nobody would want their father to be such a person.

Even though Wan Cangxin confessed a grave sin—having loved his own sister.

If Wan Yutang wasn’t his real father, then there might still be hope.

Yet... in this midst, he would rather admit to his mistake, hoping his father wasn’t a bad person.

However, the complexity of these thoughts was hard to articulate.

"According to what you said, the Night Lord has been looking for you for a year or two at most.

"And a father looking for his own son couldn’t possibly be less diligent than the Night Lord, could he?

"If I had a son, and he went missing in Dongcheng..."

He paused here, feeling that speaking this way seemed somewhat ominous, but still shook his head:

"If indeed such a thing happened, and I had already stabilized the situation by then,

"Then I would certainly search diligently, if not found in one year, then two years; if not two years, then ten years.

"I wouldn’t rest until I found him!

"How could I easily give up and stop looking?

"Unless there are still intricacies here that we are unaware of."

Wan Cangxin nodded, what had seemed to be a straightforward matter after Su Mo’s discussion had become confusing again.
