Capítulo 1350: Chapter 517: Accepting Responsibility Without Hesitation (Part 2)
Upon discussing this matter, Su Mo paused slightly:
“However, there is one point…
“Regarding the issue of the Nanhai Alliance Young Leader, I still have some concerns.”
Gao Tianqi was neither surprised nor bothered, and he simply said softly:
“Speak freely.”
Su Mo pondered for a moment and spoke softly:
“Honestly, I came to Nanhai merely as a stopover.
“I actually have another destination.
“Unexpectedly, I found myself at the center of a storm.
“Nanhai Alliance Young Leader, Dragon King Hall Master.
“What kind of power and position is this?
“Overseeing two-thirds of Nanhai’s seas, standing at the pinnacle of Jianghu.
“It’s impossible for me not to feel a bit pleased…
“Yet, apart from that joy, I also feel anxious and uneasy.
“Let’s not talk about anything too distant, just consider Alliance Leader Gao, who has exhausted himself for the Nanhai Alliance.
“He sacrificed his family’s happiness for the millions of Nanhai people.
“Such vision and courage, I admit I can’t compare.
“Nor could I ever achieve that.
“Furthermore, I have no intention to stay in Nanhai for long, as I have important matters to attend to.
“If I take on this heavy responsibility, how could I leave easily?
“Once I leave, chaos will ensue in Nanhai and I shall be blamed.
“I’d also let down the trust placed on me by Alliance Leader Gao.
“Based on this logic alone, I now feel like running away…”
Gao Tianqi couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this. He didn’t think Su Mo lacked commitment; rather, it was precisely because he felt some responsibility that he had concerns.
Otherwise, looking only at immediate interests, who would care about the turmoil that follows?
But finding his words interesting, he couldn’t help but ask with a laugh:
“Then why hasn’t the Young Leader run away?”
“…Dare not run.”
Su Mo said those three words drily.
“Is there anyone on Nanhai whom the Young Leader would fear?”
Gao Tianqi pretended to be very surprised.
Su Mo replied helplessly:
“Alliance Leader Gao is pretending not to understand…
“I can run, and if I do, I imagine none of you can catch me.
“But once I run, then what?
“I’ve mastered the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy, holding the Dragon King Mirror.
“No matter where I go, the title of Dragon King Hall Master can only be mine!
“Even if they pursue to the ends of the world, unable to catch up, tired from running…
“They can only accept this fact begrudgingly.
“No one can change this.
“And this moment is overly special…
“If it were any other time, I could leave the Dragon King Mirror, teach the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy to a suitable candidate and let them take over as Dragon King Hall Master, which might not be impossible.
“But now…it’s completely meaningless.
“Currently, the Dragon King Hall’s former Hall Master has just died. If I assume this position, Nanhai Alliance and Dragon King Hall will be united with me mediating.

“If not, a battle between them is inevitable.
“Once fighting starts, it won’t just be conflict between two parties. Gui Ruins Island will surely join in the chaos, turning it into a three-way battle scene.
“In this manner, Nanhai would be thrown into complete chaos.
“And with no Master in Dragon King Hall, the Left and Right Two Saints wandering Jianghu, Sihai Dragon Heads struggling alone, Eight sects with unclear positions.
“It poses both internal and external threats.
“Should I run, Dragon King Hall may collapse, leaving aside our lack of shared bond.
“But what about the Nanhai populace?
“Though I wasn’t born in Nanhai, lacking the vision and courage of Alliance Leader Gao, how could I bear to see them displaced?
“Thus, I dare not run away…”
“Well said!”
Gao Tianqi nodded greatly: “The Young Leader is indeed wise and farsighted.
“You cannot run… The Dragon King Hall Master can only be you, truly deserving.
“And once you’ve taken on the Dragon King Hall Master role, how can you forsake the Nanhai Alliance Leader position?
“If you do, this battle remains inevitable.
“The Young Leader then having a different stance from me would make me surely engage in a fight against the Young Leader.
“With me dying, Nanhai Alliance would likewise lose its backbone.
“The Nanhai situation would be identical to before.
“Thus, only by you taking on both titles can we ensure Nanhai’s brief peace.
“And with the combined strength of both factions, dealing with Gui Ruins Island becomes much simpler.
“Though Gui Ruins Island is strong, even they can’t fight off multiple opponents.
“It also minimizes the losses for the populace.
“Once Gui Ruins Island is eradicated, Nanhai is unified, and we might usher in perpetual peace!
“Your concerns, I believe, can largely be dispelled.”
“This is the only option.”
Su Mo gently pinched the bridge of his nose:
“Only when Nanhai is unified, and advancing quickly can I confidently depart.
“And at that time, could I ask Alliance Leader Gao to take charge of the situation?”
“With Nanhai unified, with the world aligned, having me temporarily oversee…
“Wouldn’t the Young Leader worry about power slipping away?”
Gao Tianqi smirked.
“If Alliance Leader Gao wishes so, I’d be immensely grateful.”
“…”
Gao Tianqi felt a bit helpless:
“The Dragon King Hall Master is you. Because of you, the Nanhai Alliance and Dragon King Hall can connect.
“If I harbor other intentions, the recently unified Nanhai would soon fall apart.
“Plunging back into chaos…
“All my life, I’ve desired to see Nanhai unified.
“Certainly, I don’t want to witness such a scenario again.
“The Young Leader truly sees through me.”
“I dare not…”
Su Mo shook his head: “These words are sincere… If Alliance Leader Gao wishes it, he may gladly take it up.”
“And how would I manage it?”
Gao Tianqi chuckled bitterly:
“I’m going to die soon…
“Then I fear I won’t hold on much longer, hoping the Young Leader returns promptly.”
