Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1026 409: Origins (Part 3)
He paused here slightly, then continued with a smile:
“Is it Old Fu?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying suddenly realized:
“If he is someone from the Dragon King Hall, seeing that there are experts on the ship exhibiting Extreme Cold Inner Power, naturally, he wouldn’t pay much mind, and there’s no need for him to hide his skills.
“Even if there are connections between them, today’s matter wouldn’t necessarily escalate to the point of fighting.”
Su Mo smiled and nodded: “Therefore, Brother Ye is definitely not an expert from the Dragon King Hall.
“But I wonder, Brother Ye, from whom did you inherit this Extreme Cold Martial Arts?
“Aren’t you afraid that the Dragon King Hall will come seeking this martial art?”
“…If I weren’t worried, why would I need to hide?”
Ye Youchen let out a long sigh: “Su, the Chief of the Escort, you are truly formidable, to discern so much from mere details.”
“You flatter me.”
Su Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly:
“Brother Ye, do you not intend to reveal your origins?”
“If I tell, what’s in it for me?”
Ye Youchen suddenly smiled.
“That depends on what benefits Brother Ye seeks.”
Su Mo also smiled:
“Brother Ye is a smart man and should know why I came to this island.”
“Is it for this young lady?”
Ye Youchen’s gaze naturally fell on Little Situ.
Su Mo, dressed in night clothes in the middle of the night, ventured into the Scripture Cave, surely not for amusement.
He must have a motive.
When Su Mo asked him about the Anti Vine Powder, he already knew what Su Mo intended to do.
After all, with Little Situ by his side, it was hard to hide from others.
At this point, Ye Youchen suddenly laughed heartily:
“Alright, in that case, I will be frank with Su, the Chief of the Escort.”
“I am a disciple of the Great Medical Officer of Longmu Island!”
“Great Medical Officer?”
Zhou Wenjing and Cheng Suying were somewhat puzzled.
Su Mo said softly:
“Indeed, there is a Great Medical Officer on Longmu Island.
“However, it is said that this person suddenly disappeared several years ago…
“Is it possible that he escaped from Longmu Island and then taught you this martial art?”
“No…”
Ye Youchen said softly:
“He did not escape from this island, only I escaped.”
Upon these words, even Duan Wenwu couldn’t help but hold his breath.
This mysterious plain clothed man, Lai Li, was actually from Longmu Island!?
He was originally from this island!?
“I would like to hear more.”
Su Mo reached out and poured Ye Youchen a cup of tea.
Ye Youchen took a sip, then exhaled and said:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, your Divine Skills are unmatched. In such a short time, you already know about my master’s affairs.
“But I wonder, Su, the Chief of the Escort, do you know… why my master disappeared?”
“I was just about to ask Brother Ye to enlighten me.”
“He discovered the island master’s secret.”
Ye Youchen murmured:
“I was born on this Longmu Island.
“I was raised single-handedly by my master…
“Several years ago, on the eve of my teacher’s disappearance, I still remember, it was a sunset with the clouds aflame.
“I was earnestly reciting the few pill prescriptions my teacher had just taught me.
“Because the elder said if I memorized them well, he would teach me the first three forms of the Nine Forms of Xuan Needle.
“Therefore, for quite some time I was preparing for this, just waiting for the day’s assessment.
“But unexpectedly, when he returned that day, he was full of worries.
“I tried talking to him several times, but he turned a deaf ear.
“I thought he might use this as an excuse not to teach me the Nine Forms of Xuan Needle…
“After all, there’s been a precedent for this.
“He always evaded the subject… because of this, I bore resentment and chose not to care about him.
“I went to the back forest, sat there half the night, bitten by mosquitoes, until I could stand it no more, then went back to sleep.
“Unexpectedly, I woke up halfway.
“Found my master sitting by my bed, quietly watching me…
“The fear in those eyes—I’ve never forgotten, even to this day.
“I was about to call out, but he covered my mouth.
“He told me, ‘Child, don’t be afraid, your master just wants to tell you a few things.’
“Hearing his calm voice, my heart was at ease, just still angry, unwilling to reconcile, so I turned my back on him.
“He didn’t mind, only said he discovered some things, and had to seek verification.
“‘This trip, life or death is uncertain. If I do not return, take what’s in the hidden compartment, leave Longmu Island, and never come back!’
When Ye Youchen got to this point, he exhaled:
“I wanted to ask him what he was going to verify, offer to go with him… but before I could speak, I knew nothing.
“Next time I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning.
“That night’s events seemed like a dream.
“And my master never mentioned a word, making me think it might really have been a dream.
“Then after three days, my master… disappeared.”
He chuckled lightly, glancing at Su Mo at this point:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, do you know what a Great Medical Officer is?”
“I do not.”
Su Mo gently shook his head.
“A Great Medical Officer is the person with the most advanced medical skills on this island.
“Though Longmu Island is mixed in quality, it is still a place rooted in medical skills.
“Every child grows up soaked in medicinal baths since birth.
“Even an old farmer on the street can recite the Tangtou Song backwards.
“Among so many people, selecting one as the Great Medical Officer essentially means being second only to the island master, above all others.
“That morning at the feast, everyone must have seen that Xie Yun.
“Claimed to be the master of Longmu Island… actually, it’s a joke.
“If Longmu Island wishes, it could create hundreds of Xie Yuns at any time.
“However, there is only one Great Medical Officer, irreplaceable.
“And my master was, in a hundred years, the most skilled Great Medical Officer.
“How could such a person disappear and not be searched for?”
Ye Youchen looked at Su Mo: “Then the island master indeed did not look for him, not only that, but forbade anyone from discussing the matter.
“I realized at that time, that night was not a dream.
“But my master… was warning me to escape.”
