Chapter 713: Chapter 305: Assassination_2
Xiao Feng thought for a moment: “Indeed.”
After saying this, he really did return to the room honestly and without ceremony, sat down again, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Yang Xiaoyun saw him act like this and couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo.
She always felt that his personality seemed to be very different from that of normal people…
Su Mo also realized, this man is clumsy with words and extremely guarded.
He has requests, yet he also has reservations.
Did he speak word by word just now because he was worried, that he might say something wrong while talking?
Or was he always like this at the beginning?
After pondering for a moment in his heart, Su Mo then spoke up:
“Since Hall Master Xiao knows who the murderer is, I wonder if you could enlighten me?”
“Um…”
His ’um’ was not a confirmation, but a deliberation. After a long pause, he then raised his head to look at Su Mo:
“Su the Chief of the Escort is the foremost figure in Donghuang, logically speaking, I should not conceal it.
“But this matter is an internal affair of Wusheng Hall, hence I really cannot disclose it…”
Su Mo nodded:
“So, the murderer comes from within Wusheng Hall.”
“…”
Xiao Feng was startled, then clamped his mouth shut.
But with his mouth shut, how could he drink tea?
Su Mo picked up the teapot and topped up his cup, Xiao Feng looked at the tea, his expression slightly bitter.
It seemed he was having a hard time drinking it.
Su Mo smiled:
“Hall Master Xiao just now mentioned having a request… May I know what it is?”
“Um…”
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said: “This matter may pose a difficulty for Su the Chief of the Escort. I originally wanted to repay kindness with favor, but now I feel deeply ashamed… At this moment, I don’t know if I should speak up.”
“But feel free to speak.”
Su Mo smiled: “Hall Master Xiao is benevolent and righteous, I cannot simply take advantage of someone’s generosity.
“As long as the request does not violate the ethics of Jianghu and is within my capabilities, then I have no reason to refuse.”
“This…”
Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then sighed softly:
“This matter is a long story.
“If Su the Chief of the Escort is interested, then I shall explain.
“The final decision on how to handle it can be taken solely by Su the Chief of the Escort, no matter what, I will go find Lord Xing and clarify it with him.”
“Good.”
Su Mo nodded.
Then Xiao Feng once again fell into silence.
Yang Xiaoyun could no longer bear to look directly at this man…
His temperament could no longer be described as slow, or prudent.
Su Mo, speechless, watched Xiao Feng as if he was slowly reloading a progress bar, idly pouring a cup of tea for himself and Yang Xiaoyun.
After pouring the tea, Xiao Feng finally spoke leisurely:
“Su the Chief of the Escort may not be aware…
“My father, Xiao Xiong, was formerly the Second Hall Master.
“However, twenty years ago, he suddenly disappeared…”
His speech was slow, but Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun already knew about it.
It was precisely the disappearance of Xiao Xiong, the Second Hall Master, and Bei Changzhi succeeding the position of the Second Hall Master.
However, in his narration, there was no inclination in emotion, just a simple recounting of the past.
It was only when he talked about Bei Changzhi assuming the position of Hall Master, and himself taking on the role of Vice Hall Master at a young age, that his speech sped up a bit.
In his description, although he succeeded the Vice Hall Master, his age was too young to command respect.
There are times in his speech when he is rash, sometimes even offending others without knowing.
Because of this, although he did not suffer greatly, he learned his lesson and started to be cautious in his words and deeds.
But over the years, he has never given up on finding his father.
After all, others might give up on the Second Hall Master of Wusheng Hall, how could he possibly give up on his own father?
However, as the investigation deepened, many unexpected situations arose.
These situations, Xiao Feng did not mention to Su Mo.
For they involved internal affairs of Wusheng Hall.
But in his speech, he mentioned that there is a mysterious place within Wusheng Hall where a person is imprisoned.
“I do not know if this person is my father.
“And with my own strength alone, it is insufficient to explore that place.
“With the chaotic situation within Wusheng Hall, it is difficult to discern truth from falsehood, making it extremely hard to seek help in finding someone.
“So when Su the Chief of the Escort arrived at Wusheng Hall, a thought occurred to me…
“Su the Chief of the Escort’s chivalry is renowned across the heavens, and he is the top martial artist in Donghuang.
“Moreover, there are no vested interests between him and my Wusheng Hall, he’s completely an outsider.
“If this matter could receive assistance from Su the Chief of the Escort, it would naturally be easily resolved.
“But we are strangers, how could I ask for help with this matter?
“Yesterday in the hall, when Master Wu suddenly started killing to silence others, I knew the opportunity to get acquainted with Su the Chief of the Escort had come.
“So I secretly focused on the Fourth Hall.
“Although last night’s incident was unexpected, it also gave me the courage to visit today.
“However, when it came down to it, it was difficult to continue.
“It ended up being embarrassing for Su the Chief of the Escort.”
He said this with a bitter smile, his face filled with helplessness.
After listening, Su Mo’s heart was stirred, and he looked at Xiao Feng:
“Hall Master Xiao, from the meaning of your words, you have already found this mysterious place you mentioned?”
“Um… Um!”
Xiao Feng nodded.
“Where is this place located?”
