Capítulo 1147: Chapter 449: Mandarin Duck Gloves (Part 3)

Ximen Huai sat still in place, as motionless as a clay figurine.

Su Mo glanced at him before speaking:

“Brother Ximen…”

“Hmph.”

Ximen Huai let out a faint snort and instinctively turned his face away.

Su Mo remained silent, puzzled by the situation.

He immediately shook his head lightly:

“Brother Ximen, today in the hall, it was indeed a misunderstanding on your part.

“Between Miss Shangguan and me, it is entirely innocent, with absolutely no entanglement.

“I hope Brother Ximen will consider it more thoroughly, and not ruin such a great match due to momentary anger.”

“Ah?”

Ximen Huai was taken aback, not expecting Su Mo to start with such words.

He couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo with some doubt:

“You’re… you’re serious?”

“Absolutely no falsehood.”

“Then… what did she explain to you?”

Ximen Huai said, “After we left Shuangxiong Island, we agreed to meet here on Tianqi Island. From then on, we’d fly together as a pair. Why explain anything to others?

“This, I truly can’t comprehend.”

“…Brother Ximen, perhaps you are blinded by the obvious.”

Su Mo smiled gently, “Do you really think that Miss Shangguan took my ship and arrived safely at Tianqi Island without having to pay anything?”

“Ah?”

At that moment, Ximen Huai’s face darkened: “I’ll fight you to the death!”

“??”

Su Mo was momentarily bewildered.

Seeing Ximen Huai rushing up, ready to fight with him to the death, even Lie Huo couldn’t help but secretly give him a thumbs up.

Thinking that this young man had such great courage.

Su Mo, possessing supreme martial arts, dared not show his edge; he could only bow his head and submit.

Answering whatever was asked.

Yet Ximen Huai, this newborn calf, really dared approach him.

Does he not know the meaning of death?

At this moment, Su Mo also understood what was happening.

His words seemed to have led to another misunderstanding with Ximen Huai.

Still, was it because his words were too ambiguous?

Or was Ximen Huai simply too suspicious?

Upon careful thought, Su Mo felt it should not be his fault, right?

The payment for taking a ship should naturally be the fare.

Why did this person immediately drift far with his thoughts?

And… Miss Shangguan wasn’t such a person, right?

He sighed in his heart, unwilling to continue the entanglement, placed one hand behind his back, and made a quick grab.

Under the Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand’s five-finger cover, before Ximen Huai could display any martial arts, Su Mo had already grasped his chest and lifted him into mid-air.

All of Ximen Huai’s strength was neatly relieved.

Even then, Ximen Huai continued to struggle endlessly:

“Sir Su… I, I am irreconcilable with you!”

Su Mo sighed, “Why are you so hasty? Is it so difficult to let me finish speaking?

“Miss Shangguan hid on my ship back then, asking me to take her to Tianqi Island, and offered a map of your Ximen family’s ancestral land as the fare.

“That’s why I agreed to it.

“Today, in Xiuyun Pavilion, what she wanted to explain to me was this very matter.

“Yet, you have such a temper without understanding the situation first.”

Su Mo spoke these words helplessly.

Ximen Huai, however, felt as if struck by thunder:

“Wh… what did you say?”

Su Mo casually placed him on the ground:

“That’s how it is. Whether Brother Ximen wishes to believe it, that’s up to you.

“If you do not want to believe it, that’s also fine…

“However, if you dare to lay a hand on me again,

“I won’t hold back.”

Ximen Huai stood blankly for a moment, then suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

However, Su Mo’s voice came again by his ears:

“Where are you going?”

“I… I am going to find Jingjing and beg for her forgiveness.”

Ximen Huai said such words, yet his face was beaming with joy.

Su Mo glanced at him twice, lightly shook his head:

“It’s up to you, but before this, Brother Ximen, have you forgotten something?”

“Yes, yes!”

Ximen Huai immediately nodded, then took a brocade box from his bosom and handed it to Su Mo:

“Brother Su, earlier, it was my confusion.

“Please, Lord Su, do not hold it against me.

“After this, I will definitely kneel to Brother Su and beg for forgiveness!”

After taking the brocade box, Su Mo glanced at Ximen Huai:

“Just giving it to me like this?

“Miss Shangguan once told me that your runaway play was orchestrated by another person.

“What that person wants is also this item, right?”

Upon hearing this, Ximen Huai suddenly realized and quickly said:

“This is exactly what I wanted to tell Brother Su.

“Just now…”

He glanced at Senior Lie Huo:

“The person Senior Lie Huo mentioned earlier is the one who conspired the golden cicada shedding its skin with me and Jingjing.

“On the black glove on that person’s left hand, a pair of mandarin ducks is also embroidered.”

Hearing this, Su Mo wasn’t surprised, only frowning slightly, murmuring to himself:

“Why so cautious, isn’t it superfluous?”

Thinking this, he suddenly looked towards Ximen Huai:

“Do you plan to breach your agreement with this person?”

Ximen Huai paused for a moment, then finally nodded:

“This person’s origin is mysterious, and I do not trust him.

“It’s just… it’s just that I want so badly to be with Jingjing.

“That’s why I resorted to this desperate measure.

“This map is actually a copied version, carried on me just in case.”

Su Mo nodded lightly upon hearing this: “Brother Ximen, now that you’ve given me the sea map, my transaction with Miss Shangguan is considered complete. You can go as you please; what happens afterward is none of my concern.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Ximen Huai solemnly thanked Su Mo once more before turning to leave.

Su Mo looked at the brocade box in his hand.

With a slight thought, he reorganized the entire matter in his mind.

The Mandarin Duck Gloves orchestrated Ximen Huai and Shangguan Jingjing’s runaway plan.

They agreed to use the sea map as a reward on Tianqi Island.

Yet secretly entrusted Lie Huo to capture Ximen Huai.

This might be because Ximen Huai never trusted the Mandarin Duck Gloves from the beginning.

And also noticed something.

But it could also be because this person, from the start, wanted more than just the sea map, but also Ximen Huai.

However, if they were to take action themselves, it would inevitably leave traces.

The workings of the Seven Killings Hall are secretive, never taking unnecessary risks even if there is a slight possibility.

Thus, they pushed Lie Huo forward to take the blame.

But… why are they so cautious?

Could it be that they’re afraid of something?

Thinking to this point, Su Mo suddenly turned back and looked at Lie Huo, who was trying to sneak away while he pondered, and smiled silently:

“Taoist, where are you going now?”
