Chapter 709: Chapter 304 Xiao Feng Requests an Audience
The next morning, the corner of Wusheng Hall was already bustling with noise.
A crowd of Wushengtang disciples soon gathered to watch.
Those who arrived late didn’t know exactly what had happened and had to ask around for information.
“Don’t you know?
“Master Wu from the Fourth Hall met his demise last night, and though a night has passed since the assassin struck, not even a shadow has been found.
“Lord Xing from the Seventh Hall insisted last night that this whole affair was the doing of Su, the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency.
“But as it turned out, last night the young lady suddenly came over and said that at the time Master Wu was ambushed, this very Lord Su was with her… having a heart-to-heart under the moonlight?
“At that point, Lord Xing was helpless and could only temporarily let the matter go.
“He didn’t sleep all last night and came early this morning with dark circles under his eyes to find Lord Su.
“Who knows if he has found any evidence or what’s really going on?”
“Ah? So where is he now?”
“He went into the room. Lord Xing’s people are guarding outside, not allowing anyone to enter.
“Ah, to tell you the truth, Lord Xing really should change his temper.
“This first person of Donghuang isn’t just someone with supreme martial arts; he’s filled with gratitude and beneficence, with people all across Donghuang who have received his favors.
“If our Wusheng Hall truly angers him, with a mere call to arms from him, Wusheng Hall would become the target of public criticism.
“How are we supposed to handle this?”
“That’s true, especially at this critical moment, with the impending marriage of Lord Li and the young lady. It’s not a solution to keep creating such a commotion.
“If Lord Su gets upset and does something rash…
“By the way, what does Hall Master Li say?”
“Hall Master Li can’t manage this anymore, he was playing peacemaker all of last night.
“But to no avail…”
As he said this, the Wushengtang disciple spoke mysteriously:
“Lord Xing has some relationship with the Lady, although Hall Master Li is of high status, he cannot easily command Lord Xing.
“I’ve heard that Hall Master Li has mentioned several times to the Great Hall Master that he wanted to remove Lord Xing from his position as Hall Master.
“Yet the Great Hall Master has never agreed. There must be the factor of the Lady’s face involved, otherwise how could Lord Xing dare to act like this?”
Several Wushengtang disciples who were inquiring about the excitement looked at each other, all instantly filled with worry:
“If we truly anger this number one person of the East Ring… our lives could be at stake in an instant.”
“There’s no helping it, we can only wait, hoping that Lord Xing will be cautious with his words and actions…”
For the moment, everyone felt vulnerable and could only dryly wait outside.
But let alone them, even the people of the Seventh Hall were not as settled as one might imagine.
Their Hall Master, in his misfortune, provokes Su Mo every day.
It’s like dancing wildly on the edge of a cliff, as if he’s afraid he won’t die brutally enough.
…
…
Outside, the Wushengtang disciples felt insecure, feeling as though they could smell the gunpowder even through the doors and windows.
Inside the room, however, there was harmony.
After more than half a year not seeing her father, Yang Xiaoyun, tough as she normally was, couldn’t help but show emotion and her eyes turned red at this reunion.
Seeing that Yang Xiaoyun was well, Yang Yizhi naturally also relaxed.
Everyone started chatting, and the first to speak was Ji Feiyang.
He had been ridiculed by the Qilin Swordsman until now, currently using a stranger’s face to pretend to be a servant of the Seventh Hall.
With indignation in his voice, he said:
“This Lady Wan is a witch.
“Her methods are despicable and shameless.
“Last night was not of my own will; she clearly pressed an acupoint and forcibly pulled me to bed…
“I struggled to resist, but with the acupoint blocked, I could only let her do as she wished.”
Although he was indignant, his story made everyone present feel a bit amused.
However, they quickly stopped laughing as they heard Ji Feiyang continue:
“It seems that Lady Wan has some strange way about her; when she was humiliating me, I felt as if my blood and energy were actually draining away.
“I’m not joking with you; is this woman really just from the Western Border Marquis Family?”
“Oh?”
Su Mo frowned at this and couldn’t help but glance at Yang Yizhi.
Yang Yizhi gently nodded: “I checked him last night, and indeed there were signs of this withering.
“However…such evil techniques as Pick Yin and Yang are rarely seen in Jianghu these days.
“Lady Wan’s background is well-known, from the number-one family in the Western Border.
“Yet the inherited martial arts of this family are righteous and just, otherwise they couldn’t have been handed down to this day.
“Now, where this turn of events comes from is truly puzzling.”
Su Mo remembered the conversation Lady Wan had with Wan Yutang last night and suddenly understood something.
Lady Wan had said that once she acted to save Wan Yilan, it would be justifiable for her to kill her with her own hands; could this be where it stemmed from?
After a slight pause, he said:
“Uncle Yang, you are vastly knowledgeable. Of the Three Great Demon Sects of Dongcheng, I already have some understanding of Eternal Night Valley and Youquan Sect.
“But I know very little about Jile Heavenly Palace…
“The only ones I’ve seen who could be considered experts are Gu Biyan from Cangfeng Valley.
“And the other is a Yin Yang Face I encountered in Dongcheng, half man, half woman, whose martial arts were extraordinary.”
“Oh?”
Yang Yizhi didn’t seem to care much, but the Qilin Swordsman was startled:
“Are you talking about Cha Yuanjun?”
