Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1125 442: Eldest Miss (Part 2)
Now seeing the token that Su Mo took out, he looked completely incredulous:
“What exactly did you do?
“The tokens of my family and the Ximen family are not given out lightly.”
“Miss Shangguan, this is not the place to talk.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “May I dare ask Miss Shangguan to step aside for a chat?”
Shangguan Jingjing nodded.
Since Su Mo has the ability to obtain these two tokens, and took them from Shangguan Zhiyuan and Ximen Xiong.
That shows that this person must have extraordinary capabilities.
If he really wanted to capture and take her out of this cabin, it would not be difficult.
Now that he’s inviting, there’s really no reason not to agree.
Even if he does take her to Shangguan Zhiyuan and Ximen Xiong, it would only mean her luck is bad.
She immediately followed behind the others, feeling rather calm.
However, upon reaching the deck, she did not see any trace of Ximen Xiong or Shangguan Zhiyuan, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Su Mo to the small parlor on the ship, everyone took their seats as host and guest.
Su Mo had someone serve Shangguan Jingjing a cup of fragrant tea and began to scrutinize her carefully.
Her appearance was unclear, her face covered in dirt, the disguise not too meticulous, but it indeed made her original looks indistinguishable.
He chuckled:
“Speaking of which, wasn’t this Young Master Ximen traveling with you?
“But now, where is he?”
“…”
Shangguan Jingjing hesitated, but after glancing at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, she answered truthfully:
“The two of us were recognized at the dock.
“We dared not travel together to avoid exposing too many flaws.
“We agreed to meet up… elsewhere.”
“Elsewhere?”
Su Mo looked contemplatively at Shangguan Jingjing.
They exchanged gazes, and after a moment, she retreated:
“Tianqi Island, we agreed to meet on Tianqi Island.”
“I see.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “You didn’t say earlier, were you worried I would inform your family and his family?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingjing merely lowered her head, not speaking.
“Then why did you reveal it afterwards?”
Su Mo asked with a smile.
Shangguan Jingjing furrowed her brow, weighing the pros and cons in her heart, and finally sighed:
“I want to take a gamble.”
Su Mo exchanged a glance with Yang Xiaoyun, then smiled and said:
“I’d like to hear the details, what is it that the lady wants to gamble on?”
“Gambling that you… are willing to help me one more time.”
At this point, Shangguan Jingjing looked up at Su Mo, her expression growing increasingly frank:
“Since you have already helped me once, and have the ability to obtain the tokens from those two,
“it proves that you indeed are capable.
“Moreover… you are willing to help others.
“Now, I am alone in unfamiliar lands.
“Without anyone’s assistance, it would be extremely difficult to reach Tianqi Island.
“The Shangguan and Ximen families might block me at every turn.
“I fear that before reaching Tianqi Island, they will catch me.
“However, if you are willing to help me, even if they catch up, showing these two tokens should prevent them from making things difficult.
“It could allow me to safely reach Tianqi Island and meet… with my Brother Ximen.”
“Because you have a request, you are sincere?”
Yang Xiaoyun smiled slightly.
Shangguan Jingjing sighed:
“Since I have left my family, I don’t intend to go back.
“Now, it’s either overcoming all obstacles to be with Brother Ximen for life
“or… dying in this vast sea, which is better than living without control over my own fate.”
Su Mo gently rubbed his forehead and glanced at Yang Xiaoyun:
“See, I said women are inclined outward.”
“…”
Yang Xiaoyun glanced dismissively at Su Mo: “Aren’t I as well?”
Su Mo was momentarily speechless, realizing his words were indisputable.
In the past, Yang Yizhi might have been pretending, but Yang Xiaoyun did break with Old Yang for him.
Suggesting that women are inclined outward is indeed not excessive.
He had no choice but to look back at Shangguan Jingjing:
“Yet, I wonder, if Miss Shangguan reunites with Young Master Ximen on Tianqi Island, what are your plans?”
“In my view, both your families are determined in pursuing you two.
“They will not give up easily.”
“I know that naturally and have countermeasures.”
At this point, Shangguan Jingjing paused and looked at Su Mo:
“I just don’t know if you… are willing to help me?”
“Miss Shangguan mentioned that I have the grace to help others achieve their wishes.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “I don’t mind lending Miss Shangguan a hand to accomplish this.”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingjing was overjoyed and was about to stand and thank him.
But Su Mo changed the subject: “However…”
“However, what?”
Shangguan Jingjing quickly asked.
“Although Miss Shangguan is alone, being on my ship means consuming resources.
“Moreover, assisting you against the pursuit of the Shangguan and Ximen families, if all goes well, that’s fine, but if anything goes wrong…
“Then we have offended these two families.
“This has significant implications…”
Su Mo said this, looking rather troubled: “If it were just me, it wouldn’t matter. But on this ship, I am responsible for the wellbeing of many, and I cannot not be responsible for them.”
Listening to Su Mo’s words, Shangguan Jingjing felt he intended to take advantage of her predicament.
Her anger began to rise.
