Chapter 687: Chapter 296 Darts Delivering Messages_3
Once the Wind God Step is activated, even if he’s just at arm’s length, one might not be able to capture his trace.
His eyes took in every detail of his surroundings, and with the wind at his feet, he headed straight for Wusheng Hall’s Gu Tower.
The Gu Tower was not far, and the person who previously sent the secret message with the flying darts had already arrived.
The moment Su Mo stepped onto the terrace of the Gu Tower, he looked up and saw a large drum standing before him.
And beside this large drum, there was another person.
Clad in black with a masked face, a pair of large eyes peeking through the gaps in the black cloth were looking at Su Mo, now betraying a hint of surprise.
She flew into the courtyard, casually throwing a hidden weapon, then headed towards the Gu Tower.
Su Mo had just looked at the message when he hurried over afterward.
Could it be that one came right after the other?
Does that mean this person arrived here from his room in just an instant?
What kind of Qinggong is this?
Stunned, he forgot to speak.
Until Su Mo’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, she finally came back to her senses and looked at Su Mo carefully:
“Are you Su, the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency?”
Su Mo’s eyebrows lifted slightly – the woman’s voice was neither Yu Lingxin nor Ling Hongxia.
And if it were them, they wouldn’t have asked such a question.
Who is this person?
During his contemplation, he slightly nodded: “May I know who the lady is?”
“Lady? How do you know I’m a lady?”
She said this and seemed to realize that she had forgotten to disguise her voice, quickly coughing to cover it up.
“…”
Su Mo did not know how to respond and gently shook his head:
“Although I do not know who the lady is, to call upon someone in the dead of night must be for something urgent, please state your business.”
“Um…”
After a moment of silence, the maiden suddenly smiled and removed the black cloth covering her face.
Under the cover of night, a beautiful face was revealed.
With a smile full of charm and a touch of bashfulness, she lowered her head slightly and took two steps towards Su Mo:
“I’ve often heard of the fame of Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“In my heart, I deeply admire you…
“I never expected that Su, the Chief of the Escort, would actually come to Wusheng Hall.
“My heart is filled with mixed feelings, and it took me a lot of courage to finally decide to meet you…”
As she said this, she came within three steps of Su Mo.
Her eyes lifted, and a pair of sparkling eyes gazed unblinkingly at Su Mo:
“I seek an audience tonight, not for anything else, and dare not ask for too much.
“Only hoping for your compassion, to grant me a one-night affinity, with no regrets afterward, and no entanglements.”
“…”
Three enormous question marks unconsciously rose in Su Mo’s mind.
What’s this?
A girl, out of the blue, throwing herself into one’s arms in the middle of the night?
To seek a fleeting romantic encounter?
This was entirely outside Su Mo’s expectations, and as he watched the maiden approach, Su Mo intended to withdraw, but then he suddenly realized something, his next words shocking:
“You want to kill me?”
“…”
The maiden’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and she looked up, her face full of shock and grievance:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, why would you say that?
“I… I truly like you.
“Otherwise, how could I, a maiden, do such a thing?”
Su Mo shook his head:
“In this world of Jianghu, it’s not unheard of for someone to fall for another based on their reputation alone…
“Especially young maidens like yourself, it’s natural to yearn for heroic figures.
“But… you’ve forgotten where we are.
“This is Wusheng Hall.”
“… And what of Wusheng Hall?”
The maiden was puzzled, her face full of confusion and not a trace of panic from being seen through.
As if she wasn’t here to kill Su Mo at all, and he had simply misunderstood.
Su Mo smiled: “Wusheng Hall is home to countless experts, who in the Southwest would dare to underestimate Wusheng Hall?
“That’s one point.
“Secondly, I, Su, have a bit of a reputation.
“So, ever since I arrived at Wusheng Hall, there have always been people watching me in the shadows.
“I can’t blame Wusheng Hall for this, if a Jianghu expert were to come to the Ziyang Escort, we’d also be cautious.
“One should not harbor intentions to harm others but must guard against those who might.
“Yet when I left my room just now, I discovered that there was not a single disciple of Wusheng Hall on the route to this Gu Tower.
“All those watchful eyes had disappeared.
“Lady, you invited me to the Gu Tower, and curiously, everyone from my room to the Gu Tower has disappeared.
“This clearly isn’t a coincidence but suggests they were deliberately moved away.”
He said this and couldn’t help but shake his head:
“There are definitely people within Wusheng Hall who have such authority.
“Yet, women with this power are few…
“And there are even fewer women with such authority who don’t regard Wusheng Hall highly.
“So, I boldly guess that the lady is a person of high status within Wusheng Hall.
“But who with Wusheng Hall’s power at their disposal would dare to belittle it?
“Naturally, because the authority has been in the lady’s hands since birth.
“The easier one obtains something, the less likely it is to be treasured.
“Everyone in the world dares not underestimate Wusheng Hall, but Wan Yilan, the little princess of Wusheng Hall, naturally wouldn’t consider it a big deal, would she?
“Ah, I correct myself, the lady doesn’t belittle Wusheng Hall, but merely hasn’t realized the extent of its reputation in Jianghu.”
“…”
The maiden across from him didn’t know what to say.
After a moment, she smiled:
“Then… why did Su, the Chief of the Escort, say I want to kill you?
“Even if I really am Wan Yilan, can’t I offer myself to a hero I admire?
“And besides, I am to be married in three days, yet my betrothed is not the man of my heart.
“So isn’t it right to seek fulfillment with another hero I admire before the wedding?”
Su Mo was silent for a moment before sighing softly:
“As long as you are Wan Yilan, then I am certainly not the so-called hero you admire.
“You want to kill me, precisely because you are Wan Yilan.
“You seek revenge… for Wan Cangxin.”
…
…
ps: I’m not feeling right today, and as I’ve been writing the next chapter, it just feels off, I almost want to delete it and start over… It seems my state is off, so, very sorry, but I have to take half a day off to clear my mind, my apologies.
Yeah, I’ll get back on track tomorrow~
