Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1108 436: Accepting the Escort (Part 3)
Holding a chicken leg in his hand, he leaned against the door frame and said to everyone:
“I am the Nanhai Poison Master, having spent a lifetime creating poisons and killing countless people.
“Yet, I have also saved countless lives with my supreme medical skills.
“In my early days, I roamed the mortal world, never taking anyone or anything seriously…
“Until I met my lady.
“At that time, she was the eldest daughter of the Nanhai Alliance.
“Gentle, serene, and gracefully dignified.
“She was young and beautiful, while I was already middle-aged.
“Upon meeting her, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed.”
He gazed into the void, his eyes somewhat empty, his focus absent, as if he had already drifted back to dreams of years ago.
What he said seemed not to be for Su Mo and the others, but rather as if he was talking to himself.
“I wanted to keep my distance, but unexpectedly, we met time and again.
“The Nanhai Alliance was not peaceful; though she was adored by many, she was constantly coveted by enemies.
“That night… she was abducted.
“I ran three hundred miles at full speed to intercept them.
“In a life-and-death battle, I even forgot to use poison.
“That was the anger I had never experienced in my life.
“So much so that I lost my sanity.
“And the reason was merely because… she was frightened.
“That night, I carried her back to the Nanhai Alliance, covered in wounds.
“That night, I realized that there was someone in this world who could so deeply move my heart.
“That night, I initially intended to leave the Nanhai Alliance, never to see her again, but ultimately I was too wounded and could only heal within the Nanhai Alliance.
“Unexpectedly, that very night, I was also imprinted on her heart.
“While I was healing, she frequently came to visit.
“Nanhai Alliance Leader turned a blind eye.
“After all, with such a big age gap, who would imagine things improperly?
“But… the flame in the heart eventually spread wide.
“By the time I came to my senses, a grave mistake had already been made.
“I thought I was acting foolishly due to lust, wanted to die to atone, but she wanted to die with me.
“Only then did I understand her feelings.
“The one in my heart, her thoughts too centered around me.
“Life, to have such a moment, even facing death, what is there to fear?”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Mo, smiled: “I’ve already told you what happened after…
“The Nanhai Alliance Leader was furious, the three major forces on Black Island harbored their own schemes, yet eventually it established my name as the Poison Master.
“Had I gained fame in my youth, I would have been full of ambition and confidence.
“But at that time… what meaning did vain fame have to me?
“I only wanted to spend eternity with her, through the seasons.
“That Demon Flower had extraordinary effects, it entered my mouth, took my life, yet brought rebirth.
“If those past memories were not recalled, perhaps this old man could rejuvenate youth.
“Perhaps even… revert to a child.
“But… but…”
A faint smile appeared at his lips:
“If I forget her… what meaning would living have for me?
“Moreover, my return to Jianghu this time is also because… she has contracted a mysterious illness.
“Unconscious for almost two years now.
“That’s why I set out for Dragonwood Island…
“Su, I beg you… this old man begs you, do not covet this elixir.
“Will you help me deliver this elixir to her?
“I will die soon and cannot repay your kindness in this life.
“If there is a next life, I will repay this great kindness as a servant or an ox!”
The Poison Master wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Su Mo, who sighed softly:
“I, Su, run an escort agency…
“Elder, you’re providing for my business then.
“I wonder, what will you use as the silver ticket for this trip?”
“Silver ticket?”
The Poison Master was taken aback, then suddenly realized, taking two books out from his bosom.
Both titles were simple, one was the Poison Scripture, the other the Medical Scripture.
“This old man has traversed Jianghu, apart from my skills in medicine and poison, I have no other expertise.
“Within, it records all I have learned in my life.
“Additionally… all the elixirs and poisons I carry will belong to you after my death.
“I wonder if this can serve as a silver ticket?”
Looking at Su Mo with hope in his eyes.
Su Mo smiled:
“Won’t I be making a great fortune with this trip?
“The various poisons and elixirs configured by the elder are priceless and invaluable.
“Moreover, there’s also the true inheritance?
“Now only one question remains…
“May I ask, where is Madam?”
“Good… good Su, thank you!”
The Poison Master sighed in relief and said softly to Su Mo:
“The island she’s on has no name, we call it ‘Yusheng Island’.
“We planned to spend our remaining lives on that island.
“To reach it, you must go south, first to ‘Tianqi Island’, and from there, after docking on Tianqi Island, head west for half a day’s journey, then you’ll reach Yusheng Island.
“However, the sea route is difficult… you must have someone to guide you.”
He said this, taking out a whistle from his pocket, and handing it to Su Mo:
“While staying on Tianqi Island, be wary of the Qi Family.
“They belong to the Nanhai Alliance, and the head of the Qi Family is now the Third Elder of the Nanhai Alliance, powerful and influential.
“If they find out, my lady will certainly be taken back by them, and what happens then is unforeseeable…
“Wait until nightfall, then blow this whistle at the eastern dock.
“Someone will come to guide you…
“Then you can just follow them.”
Tianqi Island… the Qi Family!
Su Mo instinctively turned back, intending to look for Wei Ziyi’s whereabouts.
However, Wei Ziyi was not on the deck.
He gently nodded and looked at the emerging interface.
[Mission: Escort the Fansheng Pill to Yusheng Island and deliver it to Elder Du’s wife.]
[Accept?]
Su Mo casually tapped, and then solemnly said:
“Elder, I accept this escort task.”
Then looked up, seeing the Poison Master was about to put the chicken leg into his mouth, perhaps having unburdened himself of the important task, he relaxed inwardly.
Intending to take a bite of the chicken leg, savoring its taste, even on the road to hell, he did not feel it difficult to endure.
But ultimately he could not muster the strength to bite, and at the end, he sighed:
“I shouldn’t have let the storyteller read my fortune back then…”
Before he finished speaking, he passed away.
Su Mo froze, having witnessed this elder’s death twice in a matter of days.
Feeling complex emotions, he still nodded:
“Indeed, to seek fortune-telling from a storyteller, how could you think of that… obviously not their specialty.”
