Capítulo 960: Chapter 387: Disciples of the Starshatter Sect (Part 3)
“Alright, the show’s over, we should head back too.”
“How boring…”
Wei Ziyi couldn’t help but mumble.
Su Mo gave her a glance: “Then what would be interesting?”
“That, of course, is…”
She was about to speak but suddenly realized something, so she simply closed her mouth and sighed:
“Just leaving like this, isn’t it quite boring?
“Although it’s a family visit, it’s also an experience in the Jianghu.
“Now that there’s something happening here, naturally we should stay a few more days and enjoy the excitement, shouldn’t we?
“If we run away whenever something happens, what’s the point of this experience? Might as well stay home under the covers, much safer?”
“You really talk too much.”
Su Mo shook his head:
“But what you said makes sense, we’ll stay here a few more days, and watch what happens.
“Just hope not to get burned… otherwise…”
The group of people, talking, gradually disappeared at the alley’s entrance.
The uncle and nephew who had left to investigate traces on the rooftop reappeared at the roof’s edge.
Watching Su Mo and his group leave, Zhang Quan frowned deeply:
“Another one who doesn’t heed advice.”
“Anyone traveling the Jianghu, how many actually listen to advice?”
The girl’s eyes glimmered, and she asked softly:
“Shishu, do you think what they said is true or false?”
“Hmm…
“Painting a tiger is easy, knowing its nature is not; knowing someone by face, not by heart.”
Zhang Quan gently shook his head: “Whether it’s true or false is hard to say. But, your question suggests you think their goal might be there?”
“It’s a bit too coincidental.”
The girl nodded slightly:
“If visiting family, just visit family; if traveling, just travel. The Nanhai is vast, where can’t you visit or travel? Yet they ended up here on Gupiao Island?
“And coincidentally at this critical moment.
“It’s really unbelievable.”
“Hmm, Jing’er, your thoughts have always been more thorough than your senior brother’s.”
Zhang Quan looked at his niece with satisfaction, then said seriously:
“Persuade those who should be persuaded, inform those who should be informed.
“If they come for this, or refuse advice…
“Heh, it’s hard to persuade the dead; there’s nothing more to say.”
“Hmm.”
The girl pondered, but couldn’t help furrowing her brows:
“Ling Yuanke met an unnatural death, even the sick young master has arrived on Gupiao Island.
“A single Poison Dragon Pill Scripture has attracted so many sinister characters.
“Fog Day is still three days away, I wonder if more chaos will arise in the meantime?
“Shishu, should we send a message back to the sect, asking them to send more experts?
“Things here have far exceeded expectations.
“Moreover, there’s still no news from Shifu and the others.
“Whether Longmu Island is real or not, we have yet to see with our own eyes.
“Yet the people coming are increasingly formidable and ruthless.
“Gupiao Island belongs to our Shattered Star Sect’s jurisdiction; letting chaos ensue is unreasonable.
“Given such a situation, I increasingly feel that relying on just the three of us to investigate thoroughly is too difficult.”
“Hmm.”
Zhang Quan nodded slightly: “What you said is correct, I’ll inform the sect to send people over.”
“I’ll trouble you then, Shishu.”
Hearing this, the girl finally felt relieved.
…
…
The night passed without further incident.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Ning was already waiting outside.
Nothing major occurred this day, other than Xiao Ning leading them around to look here and there.
Only in the evening, as Xiao Ning was about to leave, he was pulled aside by Su Mo, who whispered a few words to him.
After a moment, Xiao Ning left the inn with a thoughtful expression.
That night, someone suddenly came to the inn knocking loudly.
The visitor was urgent, banging on the inn’s door with great force.
Usually, this inn wasn’t very busy; occasionally, a few idle guests would come to eat a little and drink a glass or two.
More often than not, the place was quite deserted.
Therefore, there was no need for the waiter to run about.
The shopkeeper bustled around on his own, quite busy.
Upon hearing the noise, he quickly donned a garment and reached the door, thinking an urgent guest had arrived.
But surprisingly, when he opened the door, Xiao Ning was standing outside.
The shopkeeper was momentarily stunned, then became furious, but before he could vent his anger, he noticed that Xiao Ning was holding a little girl.
The girl’s face was pale, completely devoid of color, her eyes tightly shut, even in her unconscious state, she seemed to be enduring tremendous pain.
The shopkeeper was startled: “What’s happened to the girl?”
This small town wasn’t big, neighbors mostly knew each other.
The shopkeeper once considered having Xiao Ning come help at the inn, but Xiao Ning found it unprofitable with too few customers, so he didn’t end up taking the job.
But unexpectedly, today this girl ended up in such a state.
His expression changed drastically, quickly pulling the two children inside.
After entering, Xiao Ning didn’t spare the shopkeeper another glance, but rushed upstairs.
“Slow down, don’t disturb the guests.”
Xiao Ning couldn’t care about such things.
With a few steps, he reached the door, not daring to knock, but kneeled outside, shouting:
“Big brother, big sister, help us.”
Inside, Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo had naturally been alerted long ago.
Wei Ziyi, being quicker, already opened the door.
Looking out, she was momentarily stunned:
“What’s going on?”
Seeing Wei Ziyi, Xiao Ning was about to speak when the room door opened, and Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, in their outer garments, came out.
Seeing Xiao Ning kneeling on the ground, and the little girl in his arms, without waiting for him to speak, Su Mo had already taken the child and handed her to Wei Ziyi:
“Take her to Little Situ.”
“Alright.”
Wei Ziyi agreed without delay.
Su Mo then pulled Xiao Ning up from the ground:
“What happened?”
Xiao Ning looked at Su Mo, then at Yang Xiaoyun beside him, hesitating:
“Brother Su… you, how… how are you sharing a room with… with this lady?”
