Chapter 714: Chapter 305 Assassination_3
Su Mo asked in a soft voice.
“This…”
Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then looked at Su Mo:
“Why would Su, the Chief of the Escort, ask such a question?”
Su Mo glanced at Xiao Feng and smiled lightly:
“Because I have agreed to the matter that Hall Master Xiao is seeking help for.
“Although I do not know much about the former Second Hall Master, Hall Master Xiao has been tirelessly searching for his biological father for many years.
“Such filial piety indeed moves people.
“I, too, am a son, and if I were in the same situation, I could understand how Hall Master Xiao feels right now.
“So, setting aside that Hall Master Xiao came seeking help with good intentions, even if Hall Master Xiao did not have evidence in hand to prove that I have not committed murder.
“If this matter came to me, there would be no reason for me to refuse.”
Xiao Feng’s eyes gradually brightened as Su Mo spoke.
After Su Mo finished speaking, Xiao Feng quickly stood up, clasping his fists and bowing deeply:
“I… I am truly grateful!”
“There’s no need for Hall Master Xiao to do so. People have the same sentiments and reasons; as long as it’s within one’s capabilities, there’s no reason to stand idly by.
“Hall Master Xiao, where exactly is that place?”
“It’s located underneath the Wusheng Hall.”
This time, Xiao Feng was much more direct. He didn’t hesitate or stall, answering outright:
“There are actually many entrances to this place, but all are extremely hidden.
“After multiple investigations, I found that one entrance is located underneath the great hall where we were yesterday.
“To tell the truth, I’ve used my position to sneak in secretly before…
“However, the internal traps are lethal and the environment is complex, a slight misstep could lead to being lost within.
“With my martial arts and abilities, exploring this place is a matter of life and death.
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, with your supreme martial arts, surely will not end up like me… However, this matter is no small thing, so please consider it carefully.
“Tonight at midnight, I’ll be waiting inside the main hall of Wusheng Hall.
“If Su, the Chief of the Escort, still decides to help at that time, come look for me.”
After speaking, he sincerely added:
“No matter what Su, the Chief of the Escort decides, I am grateful for the words you’ve just spoken.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go to find Lord Xing.”
“Alright, Hall Master Xiao, take care.”
After seeing Xiao Feng out of the courtyard with Yang Xiaoyun, the two returned to their room.
The door was in shambles, and no one was coming to repair it.
But it was also for this reason that many of the people keeping watch withdrew.
After all, no one dared to pry into the abode of Donghuang’s first person at such a time.
“Is it a case of ’finding a village after coming to the end of a mountain trail’?”
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo, eyes flickering with light.
“Unexpected yet reasonable.”
Su Mo nodded: “It makes sense that Xiao Xiong disappeared for many years and Xiao Feng has been secretly investigating.
“His seeking my help, however, is beyond expectation…
“However, in his view, if Xiao Xiong is truly imprisoned beneath the Wusheng Hall,
“then the people inside Wusheng Hall cannot be trusted.
“Seeking help from an outsider is naturally a better choice.
“Mm… Anyhow, we’ll know after a visit tonight.
“He’s now going to find ’Xing Lan,’ according to Xing Lan’s temperament, he’ll likely head straight to the Tenth Hall upon learning this news.
“This plays right into what we planned earlier.”
At this point, Su Mo suddenly called out loudly to someone outside:
“Xu Lu!”
Xu Lu zipped out from a room and was already inside the house with one step:
“Master, do you have any orders?”
“Go take a walk around Wusheng Hall, look for the Tenth Hall. If there’s any commotion there, come back and let me know.”
“Yes.”
Xu Lu answered and left.
Su Mo watched Xu Lu leave, then his eyebrows suddenly knitted together.
“…Xiao Mo, what’s wrong?”
Yang Xiaoyun immediately noticed the change in Su Mo’s expression.
Su Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head gently: “It’s nothing, maybe… I’m just overthinking.”
Then he looked at Yang Xiaoyun and said with a smile:
“Later, have Xiao Xiao and Old Hu stay behind to keep an eye on Ding Wugong.”
“Sure.”
Yang Xiaoyun nodded.
In fact, they didn’t have to wait too long, soon after, the news that Xing Lan, the Hall Master of the Seventh Hall, rushed to the Tenth Hall to seek justice, was brought back by Xu Lu.
Su Mo immediately set out, bringing them along to rush to the Tenth Hall.
And not long after Su Mo’s group had left, a disciple of Wusheng Hall came with a group of carpenters to the front of the house.
The one who came out to greet them was Hu Sandao, with his fierce and formidable appearance startling the group.
“What are you here for?”
Naturally, the attitude of Old Hu wasn’t particularly good, and his tiger-like eyes scanned over everyone’s faces.
The leader hurriedly spoke with a smile on his face:
“The door of Su, the Chief of the Escort’s bedroom, is damaged; we’ve come to fix it…”
“So it is, much appreciated, come in.”
Hu Sandao pointed at the door: “Thanks in advance, you may leave on your own after finishing.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The people quickly nodded, and as soon as they saw Hu Sandao enter a room, they went to work at the door.
The leading disciple sat on the steps to the side and dozed off.
Unbeknownst to him, from the shadow beneath the feet of a middle-aged carpenter closest to Hu Sandao’s room, several shadows split off, covering the feet of both the carpenters and the Wusheng Hall disciple.
In addition, one shadow stretched out, silently spreading along the ground.
In a moment, it had already reached the door of Hu Sandao’s room and slipped in through the crack.
Inside the room, Hu Sandao and Zhen Xiaoxiao sat opposite each other, chatting casually.
However, they were talking about unrelated things.
Hu Sandao spoke about his aspirations when he was a mountain bandit.
Zhen Xiaoxiao talked about what she wanted to have for lunch.
Hu Sandao talked about amusing stories from his family.
Zhen Xiaoxiao discussed what she wanted for dinner.
Hu Sandao reminisced about fat sheep he encountered back in his mountain bandit days.
Zhen Xiaoxiao pondered what she might want for breakfast tomorrow…
The conversation wasn’t on the same wavelength but somehow they were enthusiastically engaged.
Just then, a series of muffled groans suddenly came from outside the room.
