Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1154 452: Request for an Audience
After sending Liehuo Daoist away, Su Mo remained.
He hid in the forest and paused.
Tonight has yielded much.
The issues facing the Qi family have been resolved.
There are clues regarding Lord Zimu of Seven Killings Hall.
And he also obtained the sea map from Ximen Huai.
The purpose of arranging Liehuo Daoist was not for Seven Killings Hall, but for Imperial Dao.
Although until now, no real conflict has arisen between Imperial Dao and Su Mo.
Yet, there are always entanglements amidst countless threads.
In any case, it’s unavoidable.
Moreover, the purpose of Imperial Dao remains unclear…
There’s another thing.
Whether it’s Imperial Dao or Jinglong Association, both are towering presences in the world.
Yet why do they always remain hidden?
They are wary of each other.
But what is the difference between a hidden struggle and open contention?
The purpose of Imperial Dao is unclear; the true purpose of Jinglong Association, who knows?
The role played by the Su family ancestor amidst all this?
These questions emerge one by one in my mind.
Without realizing it, as I look back, the east is nearing dawn.
Su Mo sighs:
“Waiting idly all night, still no one came.
“Truly cautious…”
Of course, he’s not idly daydreaming here; wouldn’t it be better to go home and discuss things with his wife?
The reason for waiting here is to see if anyone from Seven Killings Hall or Imperial Dao would come to investigate this place.
As it turns out, nothing happened.
Only the dilapidated temple burning all night has turned into black ash.
Su Mo shakes his head and swiftly leaves.
Just as he arrives at the gates of Qi family, he sees someone standing there.
It’s none other than Ximen Huai.
Seeing this, Su Mo smiles:
“Brother Ximen, why are you standing here?”
It’s as if Ximen Huai has been standing all night, his eyes a bit dazed as he looks back at Su Mo.
Upon realizing it’s Su Mo, he looks energized:
“Su… Brother Su?
“Are you returning now?”
“Yes.”
Su Mo smiles: “Last night’s events were many, but rest assured, Brother Ximen, Liehuo Daoist won’t bother again.”
“Thank you, Brother Su.”
Ximen Huai’s face is full of bitterness.
Su Mo raises an eyebrow: “What’s wrong? Blocked entry?”
Saying this, he glances at the gate guards.
The guards of Qi family know Su Mo.
Despite their duty to guard the door, they can’t help but shake their heads to indicate they’re not the reason for blocking entry.
Naturally, Su Mo isn’t bothered by this.
Even if blocked entry was real, it would be proper due to duty.
As a guest here, he certainly has no right to say more.
Ximen Huai quickly says:
“Brother Su misunderstood… It’s, it’s Jingjing not willing to see me.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo is enlightened.
Ximen Huai spills the beans to Su Mo because he has been holding it in all night.
After learning the truth from Su Mo last night, Ximen Huai immediately headed to Qi Mansion.
He intended to apologize to Miss Shangguan personally.
He was indeed blocked at the door, but once it was known Ximen Huai was looking for someone, he wasn’t treated with neglect.
Despite Qi family’s dominance on Tianqi Island,
great families pay attention to their behavior.
The peaceful citizens of Tianqi City reflect Qi family values.
Immediately someone reported inside.
At that time, Miss Shangguan hadn’t slept either; overwhelmed with thoughts.
When she heard it was Ximen Huai, she refused to see him.
The guards reported Ximen Huai’s appeals.
Feeling pity, they reported twice more.
The last time, a guard brought out a Jade Pendant for Ximen Huai, a message from Miss Shangguan:
“Forget each other in Jianghu.”
Upon hearing this, Ximen Huai became speechless like a wooden statue.
It wasn’t until Su Mo returned did Ximen Huai tell him the truth.
Listening, Su Mo felt like he was watching an old ballad drama.
He shook his head gently:
“Brother Ximen, this matter isn’t really my business, but I see your sincerity. Why not join me inside?
“Even if it’s to part ways in Jianghu, it should be clarified face-to-face.
“How can messages relay it?”
Ximen Huai eagerly says: “Brother Su… You bear no grudge!
“I truly feel ashamed; how I wronged you before.
“Let me apologize with a bow.”
He tries to kneel but Su Mo stops him:
“Brother Ximen, you’re too serious. We’re strangers, it’s just a misunderstanding, nothing more.
“Moreover, as they say, ‘Gold lies beneath a man’s knees’; I can’t deserve such respect.
“To be honest, when I brought Miss Shangguan ashore on Tianqi Island, we met Senior Ximen Xiong of the Ximen family.
“Senior Ximen’s martial arts are truly admirable.
“Come, come, follow me.”
Seeing Su Mo lead him in, the guards naturally don’t obstruct.
Yet after entering, they needed guidance.
The Qi mansion is vast and unfamiliar, navigation difficulties are inevitable.
Now daylight has broken, and behaving appropriately is necessary.
Both then follow the guide while talking as they walk.
