Chapter 688: Chapter 297 Dongxin Iron Order
The night was Peaceful.
Unexpectedly so.
Beside the large drum of Gu Tower, the atmosphere was also very quiet.
After Su Mo finished speaking, the silence was unsettling.
The smile on the young lady’s face had disappeared at some point, unbeknownst to all.
She quietly watched Su Mo, and a layer of murderous intent had already covered her calm eyes.
She was Wan Yilan.
Indeed, she had invited Su Mo to Gu Tower tonight to avenge Wan Cangxin.
But she did not make her move.
If she had been confident she could kill Su Mo in a direct confrontation, she would have not hesitated.
Nor would there have been the act of offering herself to him tonight.
But facing the number one figure of Donghuang, let alone being the little princess of Wusheng Hall.
Even if she were the Hall Master of Wusheng Hall, she wouldn’t dare to claim she could kill Su Mo in a direct confrontation.
Thus, she thought of this method.
Making use of the sharpest weapon of a woman, she sought to strike when the man least expected it.
What she didn’t anticipate was that Su Mo had already guessed her identity merely from the few hints she gave away.
The fearsomeness of this man lay not just in his martial arts.
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, your reputation is indeed well deserved.”
She sighed softly, and in a flash of silver, a dagger appeared in her hand.
Lifted in front of her, the cold blade was chilling.
Su Mo glanced at the dagger, then back at Wan Yilan.
But he saw Wan Yilan loosening her grip, and with a clang, the dagger dropped to the ground.
“Hm?”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly: “Aren’t you trying to kill me?”
Wan Yilan didn’t speak, but instead reached out to undo the buttons of her dress.
Su Mo couldn’t help being stunned, nor could he let her continue with such improper behavior.
He quickly said:
“Stop!”
“Why?”
Wan Yilan’s ‘why’ indeed caught Su Mo off guard.
After a moment of silence, he had no choice but to reply:
“I am a man who is about to have a family…”
“So what?”
Wan Yilan shook her head slightly: “Although I don’t have a deep understanding of men, I do know that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair.
“You killed Wan Cangxin, and now you can take his woman into your arms, to do with as you please.
“Are you unwilling to accept? Or are you afraid to accept?”
“Provocation has no effect on me.”
Su Mo shook his head: “Moreover, Miss Wan, such an act is indeed to kill me.”
“That’s right, I do want to kill you.
She looked up at Su Mo:
“But now, I have thrown away the dagger, and if I take off my clothes, I will no longer have the conditions or the ability to kill you.
“You are the number one expert of Donghuang, surely you are not afraid of a powerless woman like me?”
Su Mo sighed, his expression also somewhat peculiar:
“Why bother? To avenge Wan Cangxin, can you really gamble everything you have?”
“I have nothing left.”
At this moment, Wan Yilan’s eyes no longer held their previous vivacity.
All that was just a pretense, and now all that remained was desolation…
But Su Mo laughed:
“Miss Wan, what you said is wrong; as the little princess of Wusheng Hall, from birth, you already owned everything others could only dream of.
“How can you say that you have nothing?
“Moreover, even if you truly have nothing, what makes you think that I, Su, would accept a woman who comes to me with the purpose of killing me?”
“Why not accept?
“Is it because… I’m not beautiful enough?”
Wan Yilan looked up at Su Mo with a somewhat unconvinced expression.
“Barely passable, I suppose.”
Su Mo observed her for a moment and offered his assessment.
“…”
Wan Yilan was so choked up by his words, she was almost at a loss for emotions.
With some resentment, she glared at Su Mo:
“Is it that my figure isn’t slim enough?”
“It’s acceptable.”
“…”
Can this man not say a few kind words?
The murderous intent in her eyes grew stronger:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, don’t you think you’re being overly modest about your talent for words?”
Su Mo smiled wordlessly; it was clear that Wan Yilan knew about the events that had occurred in the main hall of Wusheng Hall earlier today.
At the time, Su Mo had said he was not as eloquent as Ding Wugong and his persuasive tongue, which brought him to Wusheng Hall.
Now Wan Yilan was using this to mock him; for a moment, he found it rather amusing.
But he simply shook his head:
“Young lady, heed my advice and let go of this obsession. Life is long ahead, and there’s no need to torment yourself nightly with hatred.
“One Wan Cangxin only, in the future, you might find someone even better in your life.
“Why degrade yourself for a man like this?”
“…I will not find another man like him in my life.”
Wan Yilan uttered to herself.
“That’s rather rare…”
Su Mo saw the sincerity in her words and couldn’t help but feel touched.
If these two were really brother and sister, what should be done?
“What did you say?”
Wan Yilan suddenly started, looking up at Su Mo.
But Su Mo shook his head:
“Since you brought up Wan Cangxin, here’s another piece of advice for you.
“Even Wan Cangxin wouldn’t want to see you go to these lengths for revenge.
“In this world, some things are more important than life.”
“This is not something… for you to say.”
Wan Yilan was furious, how could a man who killed Wan Cangxin presume to speak for him on this matter?
“That’s true.”
Su Mo smiled: “Then Miss, please take good care of yourself. The weather is getting cold; dress warmly to avoid catching a chill… I will take my leave.”
