Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1174 458: Landing on the Island (Part 3)
Upon this thought, Su Mo suddenly recalled the people who had come to the Qi Family.
Among these people… who knows who they really belong to?
Scheming, gathering intelligence, securing their positions, all sorts of intrigues are bound to emerge here.
Su Mo softly tapped his fingers on the ship:
“What predecessors did tonight gave the Qi Family and the Nanhai Alliance some time to argue.
“Although it was risky, the gains were considerable.”
With that, he smiled slightly and cupped his hands in salute:
“Thank you for clearing up my confusion, senior.”
“I feel like you still have unspoken words…”
Qi Sheng glanced at Su Mo: “But let me advise you, the Nanhai Alliance Leader is not someone ordinary, you must not act recklessly.
“Start by investigating Youchen Xiaoke to find the whereabouts of the Burning Wood Armor.”
“Alright.”
Su Mo followed along readily: “I will follow senior’s advice then.”
Qi Sheng looked at Su Mo twice, feeling that he probably wouldn’t be as compliant as he seemed.
He then looked at Wei Ziyi:
“I still have important matters at hand, and can’t return to the Qi Family for a while.
“But with Nephew Su taking care of you, I am at ease.
“After this journey ends, you’d better explain to your grandfather…
“He has always doted on your mother, if he knew your identity, he’d surely be happy, and when he’s happy, he might live a few more years.”
“…”
No matter how Wei Ziyi listened, she felt this sounded strange.
But she still nodded lightly: “In that case, after I return, I will explain the situation to him.”
“Hmm.”
Qi Sheng nodded and continued, “Also, don’t worry about your issue.
“Even without the Burning Wood Armor, or the Haori Golden Blade, Uncle will surely find you a Pure Yang Treasure, ensuring you face no accidents.”
On these words, the sky was no longer early.
He took one last look at Su Mo:
“Then I shall take my leave.”
“Farewell, senior.”
“I told you to call me Uncle.”
“… Understood, senior.”
“… Stubborn fool.”
Qi Sheng hummed, flying away. Mid-air, he flicked his sleeve, throwing a wooden board about a foot long onto the water surface.
His toes touched down on this board, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Inside the boat canopy, Su Mo and Wei Ziyi faced each other.
Only then did Wei Ziyi speak:
“Do you think grandfather will side with the Dragon King Hall?”
Su Mo gently shook his head:
“This situation might be more complicated than we imagined.
“If the Dragon King Hall intervenes, the actions of the Nanhai Alliance would become somewhat laughable.
“Unless, they can predict… that the Dragon King Hall won’t take action.
“Or perhaps…”
At this point, he furrowed his brows, considering an unlikely possibility.
Finally, gently shaking his head:
“Let’s just wait for the outcome to reveal itself in due time.
“For now, we still need to deliver the escort.”
“How to explain?”
Wei Ziyi glanced at the helmsman sitting alone at the ship head.
Su Mo chuckled: “No need to explain.”
After speaking, he reached out casually, and the breeze from his fingers fell on the helmsman.
The man shivered slightly, then opened his eyes.
Looking around in confusion:
“Why did I fall asleep?”
Turning back to Su Mo and Wei Ziyi, he heard Su Mo say with a laugh:
“Maybe the calming tea you drank on the boat worked its magic?”
“…Perhaps?”
The helmsman laughed: “So what now?”
“Let’s keep going.”
Su Mo said: “The time spent has already been significant.”
“Alright, alright, you two hold on tight, we must speed up now after all this delay.”
This helmsman also had some skills.
Especially adept at sailing on water.
With an increase in speed, the Peng Boat sped like an arrow off a bowstring, cutting a white wake across the sea as it raced on.
After this journey of half an hour, a small island had already appeared before them.
Looking at this island, Su Mo felt somewhat surprised.
From a distance, the island hadn’t been visible.
By the time they noticed it, they were already very close.
The overall impression was as if it suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
However, around it, there were no undercurrents like those around Longmu Island, nor rocky formations scattered across the sea.
One could only wonder how such an illusion was created.
Of course, things at sea are varied, always shrouded in a mysterious aura.
It’s not necessary to delve into everything.
If you must explain, perhaps it was just a visual illusion at sea that deceived everyone.
In short, the Peng Boat soon approached the small island.
It docked at a small pier.
There, a young man was leaning against a wooden post, dozing off.
The sound of the boat touching the pier startled this person awake.
With a shiver, he opened his eyes.
Looking around, he spotted the three of them, and was momentarily stunned:
“Visitors?”
“Slacking off again?”
The helmsman glared at him: “I told you to stand guard here, but you were napping.
“In the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid of freezing?”
“Hehe…”
The young man chuckled: “A healthy young man sleeps on a cold platform relying on his vitality. I’m young and strong, why should I fear?”
“But who might these two be?”
“These two…”
The helmsman slapped his forehead: “Come to think of it, I haven’t asked for your names yet.”
Su Mo smiled: “No need to be formal, I am Wu Chengfeng, and this is… Chu Qiuyu.”
Wei Ziyi was taken aback.
Not understanding why Su Mo wouldn’t use his real name.
However, there was no sign of this on her face.
She simply nodded slightly at the person in front of them.
“So it’s Young Hero Wu and Heroine Chu.”
They exchanged brief salutations, and the helmsman explained the situation simply.
Hearing the master had died, the young man’s pupils immediately contracted.
Then he broke out in loud sobs.
The helmsman consoled him for quite a while before he calmed down.
“Young Hero Wu, entrusted by the master, has brought the body back.
“Also… something is to be given to the lady.”
The helmsman continued: “Stop crying now, get someone to retrieve the body, and lead these two to meet the lady.”
