Chapter 712: Chapter 305 Assassination
“Oh?”
Su Mo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
He was not astonished that Xiao Feng knew who the murderer was; rather, he was surprised by his candidness.
After scrutinizing him for a moment, he gave a slight nod:
“Hall Master Xiao, please come inside. The door is broken, do not take offense.
“Ah, I have yet to introduce her, this is Vice Leader Yang Xiaoyun from Ziyang Escort Agency, my fiancée.”
Yang Xiaoyun clasped her fists:
“Nice to meet you, Hall Master Xiao.”
“Please, there’s no need for formalities.”
After pondering for a while, Xiao Feng spoke: “The deeds of Vice Leader Yang, even as far as Wusheng Hall, have reached my ears.
“Incomparable in Luoxia City from a young age, a woman who yields to no man; truly admirable.”
Yang Xiaoyun was momentarily speechless: “Has my disgrace really reached all the way to Wusheng Hall?”
“Ah…”
Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned, and after a slight silence, he seriously responded:
“It should be that your fame resounds loud and clear.”
From these few sentences, it was evident that Xiao Feng found it rather difficult to speak, and it was not easy for him to do so.
Su Mo found it a bit odd, but he didn’t dwell on it.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Su Mo led him inside to sit down.
Su Mo poured a cup of tea for Xiao Feng:
“What did Hall Master Xiao mean by what you just said? You already know who the murderer is… are you here to clear my name?”
Xiao Feng nodded:
“Clearing your name might be an overstatement, within Wusheng Hall, not to mention the mere Xing Lan, even if you add up the leaders and vice leaders of the Twelve Halls, and even the Great Hall Master, I fear they are no match for Lord Su of the Escort.
“Moreover, Miss Yang testified for Lord Su last night; your innocence is well-known by everyone.”
He spoke very slowly, as if weighing each word carefully in his mind.
There was an unusual maturity and caution in his tone.
Su Mo lightly nodded: “Hall Master Xiao is a man of understanding. It would truly be comforting if Lord Xing could learn from you.
“Lord Xing tends to be impulsive, and once he decides on something it is hard to sway him.
“Nowadays, without a suitable lead, he naturally wants to keep a firm grip on Lord Su of the Escort.
“But rest assured, Lord Su, I will speak to Lord Xing afterwards to give you a proper explanation.”
At this point, Xiao Feng revealed a very sincere smile.
Su Mo refocused his gaze on this man.
A man in his thirties but not yet forty, with sharp facial features and deep-set eyes, smiling.
Despite showing his calmness as much as possible, Su Mo could still tell that this man had a strong guard up.
Su Mo lightly tapped his fingers on the table twice before speaking:
“What does Hall Master Xiao want?”
The smile on Xiao Feng’s face stiffened.
Then he fell into hesitation…
But his hesitation confused both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
Xiao Feng was clearly prepared when he came here.
He mentioned outright that he knew who the true murderer was.
But knowing who the murderer was, and not telling Xing Lan but instead speaking to Su Mo about it – what was his intention?
It was clear that Su Mo was ’troubled’ by this matter.
His visit was evidently meant to provide a ’timely rain.’
However, in offering this ’timely rain,’ he also had his own motives.
This was an unspoken understanding.
Su Mo didn’t mind this; if he could reach some sort of agreement with Xiao Feng through this, it would actually align with his goals.
But now… to hesitate at this point?
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances but were not in a hurry.
After a long while, they heard Xiao Feng sigh:
“Let it be, Lord Su, rest assured, I will go talk to Lord Xing now and clarify everything.
“I will ensure that you do not suffer this undeserved blame…
“I’ve intruded today, goodbye.”
After saying this, he stood up to leave.
Su Mo slightly raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
“Hold on, Hall Master Xiao.”
“Hmm?”
Xiao Feng turned back to look at Su Mo: “Does Lord Su have other matters?”
“…”
Su Mo didn’t know how to respond.
Is this the question you should be asking?
After coming here and confusing everyone, now you want to just walk away like nothing happened?
He was forced to say:
“I’m just curious why you suddenly hesitated earlier?”
“…”
Xiao Feng fell silent again.
Talking to this man is somewhat exhausting…
Just as Su Mo was pondering what to say next, he heard Xiao Feng speak softly:
“Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you…
“If I were to suffer from an unjust accusation, and someone held the evidence but sought something in return,
“I certainly would not feel pleased.
“It would be the same for anyone.
“This trip was ill-considered by me, please forgive me, Lord Su…
“Just pretend that I was never here.”
After saying this, he smiled, turned, and tried to leave again.
This answer was completely unexpected by Su Mo.
After being momentarily stunned, he quickly said:
“Please, Hall Master Xiao, hold on a moment.”
Xiao Feng obediently paused as Su Mo had asked, turning back to face him:
“Does Lord Su have another matter?”
“The tea isn’t even finished, why the rush to leave, Hall Master Xiao?”
Su Mo gestured with his hand.
