Capítulo 1120: Chapter 440: Uninvited Guest (Part 3)
Yang Xiaoyun asked.
Su Mo smiled:
“There are two reasons…
“First, the news of the Nanhai Martial God Temple has spread widely.
“How many people who have set foot in the Nanhai wouldn’t seek out this place?
“That item is, after all, intimately linked to the Nanhai Martial God Temple. If we can gather information through this, it would save us a trip to look for the Nanhai Martial Elder.
“After all, Shi Cheng is unwilling to open his mouth, and it’s truly difficult to pry it open.
“And using the Suffering People Scripture… would unavoidably create enmity.
“It’s genuinely not worth it.”
Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly: “And the second?”
“The second…”
Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun: “Can’t you think of it, my lady?”
“Is it because of those who want to buy information from us?”
Yang Xiaoyun thought to herself.
“My lady is indeed very clever.”
Without needing to elaborate, as soon as Su Mo mentioned the Nanhai Martial God Temple.
This became one of the reasons for Su Mo coming to the Nanhai.
And Su Mo can choose whether or not to go to this place.
A little easing of the guard of those who care about Su Mo’s intentions is always beneficial.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but smile, and then gently rolled her eyes at Su Mo:
“You and your sweet talk.
“So, who do you think cares about our intentions?”
“It’s nothing more than those few.”
Su Mo said softly:
“There is little exchange between the Nanhai and Donghuang. There are even fewer who know we came to the Nanhai and care about our purpose.
“Now that they know our purpose is not directed at them, naturally it’s a good thing.”
Yang Xiaoyun seemed thoughtful, wanting to speak further, but stopped.
This place is not suitable for casual conversations.
Leaving the small alley, they first returned to the inn.
However, Wei Ziyi and Zhen Xiaoxiao were not in the inn at the moment, likely having finished eating and drinking.
Yet, they didn’t know what had happened with the Martial Arts Tournament?
Just as they were walking out of the inn, they saw a group of Jianghu people, dejected, arriving at the inn’s entrance.
Among them, one person shouted loudly:
“What can ease worries but Du Kang!”
“Today we must drink to forget it all!”
The three of them exchanged glances, disappointed people are common, but seeing so many at once, lining up, is unusual.
Listening a bit more, they understood the gist.
They were so disappointed because the Martial Arts Tournament had concluded.
Who ultimately won the flower of the Shangguan family was unclear.
All they knew was that someone single-handedly defeated the crowd, and ultimately won over Shangguan Jingjing in the contest.
Achieving triumph and winning the beauty.
Su Mo was curious if this person might be Duan Renjie?
But after a little inquiry, they found out it wasn’t…
The one who ultimately outshone the crowd was a relatively unknown young man.
He called himself Zhou Chang.
His teacher’s background was a mystery.
His martial arts style appeared odd, yet he truly did outshine the crowd.
When facing Shangguan Jingjing, he defeated her in just three moves.
It truly astonished the many skilled Jianghu people present.
And so, the matter was settled, with the wedding set for that night.
Shangguan Hongtu had already sent out invitations, inviting various Martial Arts people in Shuangxiong City to the banquet.
However, many people weren’t very interested in attending the banquet.
The failure to win Shangguan Jingjing left them disheartened, so they came to the inn to drown their sorrows.
Of course, there weren’t too many such people, but given the large base, it seemed a lot…
After hearing all this, Su Mo and his companions felt that the Martial Arts Tournament really had nothing to do with them.
Just listening for fun was enough.
Now that the excitement was over, it was the perfect time to leave.
Regarding attending the banquet, they had no interest, fearing only damage to their dignity.
Immediately, without further thought, the three directly returned to the ship.
There, they found Wei Ziyi, Zhen Xiaoxiao, and the others had already returned, and Duan Renjie was calmly waiting on the ship.
Cheng Suying asked if he participated in the Martial Arts Tournament?
Duan Renjie immediately replied, stating he just went to watch the excitement.
How could he possibly participate?
Cheng Suying seemed quite satisfied with this response, although she didn’t show it in her words.
The sibling pair whispered to each other, who knows what they were talking about.
Su Mo asked Song Yuanlong if everything needed had been purchased, and being assured it was, gave the order to set sail and leave Shuangxiong City.
They continued sailing, headed toward Tianqi Island.
And by now, they weren’t far from Tianqi Island.
Estimated to need at most another half month to reach there.
What kind of Pure Yang Treasure the Qi Family has concealed is about to be revealed.
…
…
At night!
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had retired early, when suddenly the sound of waves rolling came.
Soon followed by the sound of swishing clothes, landing on their ship.
“Who’s there?”
The night watchman immediately discovered the presence, shouting sternly.
A voice replied solemnly:
“Ximen Xiong from Shuangxiong Island…”
“Hold your tongue!”
Before finishing, another person angrily said:
“Do you dare to announce your name?
“I am Shangguan Zhiyuan, and I ask the person in charge on this ship to show themselves!”
Before the words were finished, Su Mo had already reached the deck.
Looking around, he found that there were quite a few people.
The leading ones were two middle-aged men, glaring at each other as if they had deep hatred.
Judging by their names, they seemed to be from the Ximen Family and Shangguan Family on Shuangxiong Island.
However…
In the day, the Shangguan Family had just concluded a Martial Arts Tournament and decided the outcome, planning to hold a feast that night.
At this time, instead of hosting friends and family at home,
why are they causing trouble on my ship?
Though curious, Su Mo didn’t delay, and immediately cupped his hands and said:
“I am Su Mo, the person in charge of this ship. May I ask what brings the two seniors here together?”
“We’re looking for someone.”
Shangguan Zhiyuan gave Ximen Xiong an angry look before speaking to Su Mo:
“Please forgive the disturbance at night, Boss Su. The Shangguan Family will send an apology later.
“But now, please allow us to search the ship to see if our young lady has been taken by that Ximen rascal to this ship!”
