Chapter 1709 - 631: The Letter (Part 3)

In fact, the thing he found most untrustworthy was precisely this letter.

Standing still, contemplating for a long time.

He wasn’t considering the authenticity of the letter, but rather why Dongmen Yong used this letter to deceive him, and what was the purpose?

He classified various traces and clues in his mind, and his thoughts gradually calmed down.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, then put the letter away and hid it close to his body.

After Su Mo finished these actions, he heard the Blood Lotus Sect Leader speaking softly beside him:

"Chief Su, how do you feel? Are you satisfied with this secret?"

Su Mo turned his head to look at him, a momentary realization in his eyes, followed by a smile:

"The Sect Leader is still here?"

"Well, since Chief Su hasn’t spoken, where can I go?"

The Blood Lotus Sect Leader had a face full of smiles.

Su Mo nodded slightly:

"Since that’s the case, there are a few things I want to ask you."

"Please do, please do."

The Blood Lotus Sect Leader nodded repeatedly, very cheerfully.

It was apparent that after Su Mo finished reading the letter, his attitude towards Su Mo had changed as well.

Su Mo noted this change in his mind but suddenly shook his head:

"Never mind, there’s no rush now.

"Let’s take a look around first."

The Blood Lotus Sect Leader heard this and nodded immediately.

Leading Su Mo and Little Situ, they wandered around this cave residence.

The conditions inside were harsh, and there was nothing to gain.

Finally, the three of them exited through the cave entrance, and Su Mo leaped off Dading Peak with them.

At this moment, not to mention the Blood Lotus Sect Leader, even Little Situ felt a tingling scalp and couldn’t help but cling to Su Mo.

The Blood Lotus Sect Leader also tried to do the same.

But with a flick of Su Mo’s hand, he almost dislocated his entire body, unable to move, only able to tear up in the wind, watching the ground get closer, filled with despair.

And just then, Su Mo stepped lightly, wind under his feet, his speed gradually slowing down.

Finally, he stepped into the void, heading straight for the Blood Lotus Sect’s village.

He found Fang Hongying and the others, confirming that the group of women was alright.

Only then did Su Mo completely relax.

Fang Hongying immediately wanted to gather the women to meet Su Mo.

Su Mo looked at the sky and said to Fang Hongying:

"Let them rest. After tonight, set out early tomorrow morning.

"Leave this place."

"Alright."

Fang Hongying nodded, though there was a hint of perplexity on her face.

Seeing her expression, Su Mo pondered briefly, then said in a low voice:

"Miss Fang, is it that you don’t know where to go?"

Fang Hongying forced a smile:

"Exactly, Nong Yue Villa has been destroyed, and now Xiao Jie and I are homeless.

"Though I believe I have some martial arts, it’s far from enough to support a villa.

"Now that we are down, I truly am at a loss about what to do.

"Moreover, if I am like this, what about the other sisters?

"They too, like me, have lost their entire families.

"Nowhere to go even if we return."

"..."

Su Mo’s lips trembled, then tightly closed, honestly not knowing what to say.

He then looked down to find Little Situ gazing at him.

Su Mo chuckled silently:

"We run an escort agency, how can we accommodate these ladies?

"I suppose they wouldn’t want to rely on others either..."

"Why wouldn’t they?"

Fang Hongying was stunned, speaking instinctively.

Su Mo blinked at her words: "Indeed... would they be willing?"

"...Why not?"

Fang Hongying was even more puzzled, not understanding why Su Mo would say such things:

"We’re struggling to survive ourselves, if someone is willing to take us in, why wouldn’t we agree? What’s the logic behind that?"

Su Mo suddenly found her reasoning sound.

For some reason, however, upon hearing the word depend, all he could think of were images of strong independent women.

He always felt it was an insult to them or something like that...

But now, looking at it, livelihood might not be as he thought.

With this in mind, Su Mo spoke softly:

"In that case... why don’t you ask these young women?

"If they still have families to return to or relatives to find.

"That would be good, we’ll gather some silver coins here as travel expenses for everyone to use.

"If they truly have nowhere to go... they can follow me back to Four direction City.

"I still have some resources in Four direction City.

"There’s also business under my hand.

"I think it wouldn’t be difficult to find some livelihood for you all."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hongying couldn’t help but clasp her hands, bowing deeply:

"Hero Su not only saved our lives, but now also offers such grace. Fang Hongying thanks Hero Su on behalf of the sisters for this great kindness."

Su Mo waved his hand:

"You’re exaggerating, saving them means going all the way, sending Buddha to the west.

"In this matter, one can’t just stop halfway."

Now that the matter was settled, Su Mo let Fang Hongying go to rest as well.

Giving a gesture towards the Blood Lotus Sect Leader to knock him unconscious.

He made him faint.

Su Mo then asked Little Situ:

"Can you still concoct the Soul Loss Potion?"

"I can."

Little Situ nodded immediately: "Along the way, I also found some herbs. Plus, the ones I took from Wangyou Island, the ingredients are complete. It’s just that, the materials are in Four direction City, I didn’t bring them with me, once we return there, I’ll compound it for you."

"Good."

Su Mo nodded, looked at this Blood Lotus Sect Leader, and let out a gentle sigh.

Little Situ saw he looked somewhat fatigued and couldn’t help but ask:

"Brother Su, what was written in that letter?"

Su Mo thought for a moment, then handed the letter to Little Situ.

Little Situ was delighted, quickly taking it out to read.

After reading it, there was a gleam in his eyes:

"Is it actually about this matter?"

"True and false, hard to distinguish."

Su Mo shook his head lightly: "Dongmen Yong, this old bastard, is most likely trying to deceive me."

Little Situ’s heart tightened at these words, realizing he had underestimated Dongmen Yong.

Su Mo took the letter back, put it away again, and said softly:

"Don’t mind the letter for now, when we return, we’ll consult with Sister Xiao Yun and the others.

"About how to handle this."

"Brother Su already has a plan in mind, doesn’t he?"

Little Situ asked in a low voice.

Su Mo thought briefly, then nodded lightly:

"Whether the letter is true or false, for now, it must be treated as false.

"We continue doing what needs to be done.

"If the letter is true, he will cooperate on his own.

"If the letter is false, and if he wants to gain my trust, he must cooperate even more.

"Let’s see how this play unfolds.

"The key now is this Blood Lotus Sect Leader...

"This person is not simple.

"It’s more secure to use the Soul Loss Potion on him, hopefully, to gain some insight."

Little Situ nodded gently, stood up, walked behind Su Mo, and began massaging his acupoints.

Su Mo was taken aback, glanced at her.

Little Situ spoke softly:

"You overthink, I’m just an average strategist, I truly can’t help much.

"I can only help with trivial little things."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was momentarily at a loss, and then shook his head lightly:

"You’ve said too much, what you’ve done for me has already been more than enough..."
