Capítulo 1107: Chapter 436: Accepting the Escort Mission (Part 2)
“Hmm?”
Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback: “What have you thought of this time?”
“What if the person behind all this is doing it just to nourish the Qixue Sword with the Nanhai Jianghu?”
Su Mo suddenly stunned everyone with his words.
Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but gasp: “What do you mean?”
Su Mo lightly shook his head:
“It’s still too early to say that now, it’s just a possibility.
“It’s also possible that these people are the ones the Qixue Sword Slave wants to kill, so they’re using a borrowed blade to kill.”
Yang Xiaoyun slightly nodded but soon frowned:
“If this assumption is true, how should we explain when we meet others?
“This matter will inevitably spread within the Jianghu.
“Jianghu Martial artists attacking ordinary people is already a taboo in the Jianghu.
“At least, this is currently a consensus between Nanhai and Donghuang.
“Mentioning the Qixue Sword will surely agitate those Nanhai experts.
“Even though you saved their lives, you might still find it hard to control their changing minds.”
Xia Qiuliang said something wise just now.
Traveling in the Jianghu is ultimately for fame and fortune.
For fame, killing the Qixue Sword Slave would surely bring great renown.
For fortune, the Qixue Sword, one of the Ten Great Swords, is immensely attractive.
Although holding the Qixue Sword transforms one into a Sword Slave.
But without witnessing it themselves, without touching it personally, who can say there is no hope in their hearts?
Until it’s settled, there will always be those who think they’re the chosen one.
The inherent Qixue Sword Master, not the Qixue Sword Slave.
These including unbelievers exist and are many.
Yet Su Mo just heard this and laughed:
“Lady, if we meet them, we will not mention Qixue Sword.
“Do you think they won’t think of the sword? Think of the matter?”
“…That’s naturally impossible.”
Yang Xiaoyun previously stated that issues regarding the Qixue Sword might not be known only by them, Nanhai is vast, and everyone travels widely, who’s not supposed to know some secret rumors?
Events on Gupiao Island, seen through discerning eyes, will inevitably lead to associations.
“Indeed.”
Su Mo smiled: “Even if we don’t mention it, this news will spread through Nanhai with these Jianghu people leaving Gupiao Island.
“If no Qixue Sword Slave emerges, then so be it.
“But currently, all indications seem contradictory to wishes.
“Thus, it’s an open conspiracy, unavoidable.
“If so, then simply follow their wishes.”
“Would you really let it happen?”
Yang Xiaoyun raised her eyebrow.
By rights, this matter, although many died, doesn’t directly relate to Su Mo and them.
No matter what the person behind it aims for.
It’s ultimately not aimed at them.
If one were to stay prudent and extricate from the matter, that would be easy.
However, Yang Xiaoyun knew Su Mo better than he knew himself.
Su Mo kept saying he’s not a true chivalrous man, lacking the virtuous heart of Su Tianyang and Yang Yizhi.
Living in Jianghu, as long as not drawn into any schemes, he doesn’t wish to muddy his waters.
Yet, in their long-time relationship, Yang Xiaoyun knew.
Her husband harbors a chivalrous spirit he never admits.
If those who died today on Gupiao Island were Jianghu people, he might not even glance their way.
But…today, they were ordinary people.
He definitely wouldn’t leave it unattended.
Sure enough, Su Mo smiled softly:
“Of course not…”
He said that, taking out a token from his chest.
“A token from Tianji Pavilion?”
Yang Xiaoyun was surprised.
Su Mo quietly said:
“Perhaps, it’s time to reach out to these people.”
“You…”
Yang Xiaoyun wanted to say more but suddenly heard a stir from the room.
Everyone turned around, hearing the door creak, Elder Du appeared before them.
Compared to when he went in earlier, Elder Du now looked weary.
Little Situ’s expression changed seeing this:
“Senior, you…”
Elder Du faintly smiled, attempting to take a step forward but his legs softened, directly falling to the ground.
Su Mo wanted to assist, but Elder Du waved his hand:
“Forget it, let this old man rest for a while…
“I thought there’d still be a chance to return the item, but didn’t expect, concocting this elixir is more exhausting than imagined.”
He gently exhaled, pulling out a Brocade Box from his chest.
Looking up at Su Mo:
“Su…you’re no ordinary person.
“This old man has seen the star of death, my time is limited.
“May I trouble you with one last matter?”
Su Mo glanced at the box, lightly shaking his head:
“What is this?”
“Fansheng Pill.”
Elder Du took a deep breath: “This pill, from an ancient prescription, cures all ailments. Cultivators taking it can increase their Inner Strength.
“This old man obtained its prescription in a secret place years ago.
“But, one vital ingredient has long vanished from the world.
“Although many related materials have been gathered, I hadn’t thought it possible to one day concoct this pill.
“Now…”
He spoke to this point, seemingly short of energy, eventually took a deep breath and lightly shook his head.
He took out an oily chicken leg from his sleeve, trying to bite it, but for some reason dejectedly unable to eat.
