Capítulo 1139: Chapter 447: Bait
In the Qi Family’s Xianyun Pavilion, Shangguan Jingjing burst into tears, looking pitiful with tears like pear blossoms in the rain.
As a result, the group could only watch.
Qi Dingtian, being of an advanced age, didn’t know how to comfort the young girl.
Tang Feng was even less capable of understanding delicate emotions.
Su Mo lowered his head and drank tea, his eyes deep and contemplative, but he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Yang Xiaoyun and the others exchanged glances, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start.
Fortunately, although Shangguan Jingjing was heartbroken, she was aware of her surroundings.
After crying for a while, she wiped her tears fiercely, stood up, and said to Qi Dingtian:
“Master Qi, I apologize for losing composure and making a fool of myself in front of you all.”
Qi Dingtian waved his hand: “It’s alright, since you came with Hero Su, you’re not an outsider.
“This young Ximen fellow is confused when faced with problems and not a good match… hmm, let’s not talk about this.”
Seeing Shangguan Jingjing’s eyes turn red again at the mention of Ximen Huai, he quickly said:
“I’ll arrange a place for you to rest; you’ve had a tiresome journey. Take a break first.”
“Thank you, Master Qi.”
Shangguan Jingjing had come to Tianqi Island, all for Ximen Huai.
Now that Ximen Huai was gone, she didn’t know where to go.
She truly had a feeling of looking around in bewilderment.
With Qi Dingtian’s suggestion, she decided to stay for now.
She needed some time to organize her thoughts and figure out what had transpired and how things ended up this way.
After assigning someone to settle Shangguan Jingjing in, Qi Dingtian finally turned to Su Mo:
“Hero Su, who exactly is this young lady?”
“Master Qi may not be aware.”
Su Mo shook his head lightly and then recounted the events on Shuangxiong Island in brief.
He then explained Shangguan Jingjing’s long journey in search of her ‘husband,’ detailing her situation.
Qi Dingtian, upon hearing this, finally understood:
“So she’s the young lady from the Shangguan Family on Shuangxiong Island and the Ximen Family.
“Their families have been enemies for generations, yet the offspring have developed a private relationship. It’s quite interesting.
“But Ximen Zhengyan is quite accomplished—how did he produce such a son?
“Seeing his demeanor, he apparently suspects a connection between this young Shangguan lady and you.
“To lose composure before understanding the situation is truly laughable.
“This was evident today when he saw the Shangguan girl.
“To rashly call out when in enemy hands—what good does it do?
“Not knowing when to assess the situation and contemplate a solution.
“Instead, letting the Red Haired Ghost notice something was amiss.
“If not for Hero Su, they would definitely have been captured by the Red Haired Ghost today.
“Even if emotions are deep and one is concerned for a beloved’s safety, this act was unwise.
“Truly not capable of great accomplishments.
“This incident serves as a good lesson for the Shangguan girl to reconsider if betraying her family for someone like him is worthwhile.”
As he spoke, he unintentionally glanced at Wei Ziyi.
Yet, the sparkle in his eyes was not on Wei Ziyi.
This glance was fleeting, unnoticed by others. Qi Dingtian switched topics to casually chat with Su Mo.
Initially, they engaged in small talk, discussing Su Mo’s impressions along the journey and Qi Dingtian’s experiences in the Jianghu at his peak.
As the conversation progressed, Su Mo enquired about the conflict in today’s hall.
Qi Dingtian smiled upon hearing this:
“Demon Blade and Ghost Sword just have mutual dislike for Tang Feng and his companion.
“A verbal spat that turned into a scuffle.
“This young fellow overestimates himself; though Demon Blade and Ghost Sword aren’t much, they are two people.
“With two swords and a blade, do you think fighting them is child’s play?”
“Hmph…”
Tang Feng couldn’t help but feel indignant: “If you hadn’t intervened today, Ghost Sword would already be dead.”
“If I hadn’t intervened, you would have been split in two.”
Tang Feng fell silent.
Qi Dingtian was right; his slash was indeed fierce, shattering Ghost Sword’s Sword Qi.
But Demon Blade’s charged strike was formidable. Had he acted recklessly, he might have died on the spot.
Staying in Xianyun Pavilion out of concern that Demon Blade and Ghost Sword might block him outside.
Without Qi Dingtian’s presence, life or death would be uncertain.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Mo subtly probed Qi Dingtian about the purpose of these people’s presence at the Qi Family.
However, Qi Dingtian did not reveal it directly, instead dodging the question with a laugh.
He expressly invited Su Mo over out of admiration for his deeds on Longmu Island, with no other motives.
After chatting for a while, Qi Dingtian invited Su Mo and the others to stay at the Qi Family for a few days.
Su Mo had no reason to refuse.
Qi Dingtian was delighted and immediately arranged accommodations for them.
Su Mo apologized briefly and, leading Yang Xiaoyun and others, followed the Qi Family members to a courtyard.
The courtyard wasn’t large but spacious enough for the group.
Upon arrival, they found Shangguan Jingjing sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.
Seeing Su Mo and the others, she quickly stood up:
“Su… Brother Su…”
Su Mo nodded slightly: “Miss Shangguan.”
“Today… I’m sorry.”
Shangguan Jingjing was full of guilt:
“He… I don’t know what’s gotten into him, speaking like that.
“I’ve caused you trouble.”
“The trouble is no concern.”
Su Mo looked at the girl, feeling somewhat at a loss himself:
“However, earlier, the matter Miss Shangguan promised me…
