NOVGO.NET Chapter 1124 442: The Eldest Miss
Su Mo just now did indeed send Song Yuanlong to find someone.
However, that was only the first part.
The second part was to instruct Song Yuanlong, upon finding the person, to remain inconspicuous.
If Ximen Xiong had been willing just now to honestly reveal the location of the legacy, Su Mo wouldn’t mind lending them a hand.
But from the current situation, getting such information from the mouths of these elders isn’t easy.
Thus, they can only start from the younger generation.
So, although they have found the person, they haven’t handed them over yet.
At this moment, Su Mo led Yang Xiaoyun, following Song Yuanlong.
They arrived deep in the ship’s cabin.
This area is where the ship’s staff reside.
Along the cabin, guards stood at each door.
As they opened the cabin door, a young man dressed as a staff member sat at the bedside, furrowing his brow.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he jumped in shock.
Quickly turning around, seeing Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, he hurriedly stood up.
He clasped his fists, intending to say something, but once he opened his mouth, he couldn’t think of what to say.
In the end, he forced himself to say:
“Greetings… Greetings, sir…”
Su Mo was quite calm, but Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t hold back, laughing out loud.
“Seems like they haven’t been on the ship long enough to figure out how to address us.”
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo.
Su Mo gently shook his head:
“We boarded just before departure, only half a day’s time.”
Having said this, he asked Song Yuanlong:
“Only one?”
“Yes.”
Song Yuanlong was a bit puzzled, based on what the other two had said, there should be two who ran away.
Could it be that the two of them actually left separately?
Their conversation, as if no one else was there, made that ‘staff member’s’ face alternate between pale and flush.
Knowing he couldn’t hide any longer, he lightly tapped his foot, trying to pass through the crowd forcefully to escape.
Yang Xiaoyun stepped to the side, blocking his path, raising a single arm to grapple, but that ‘staff member’ wasn’t intimidated, his hands moved apart to counter Yang Xiaoyun’s grapple, while one hand subtly pointed at Su Mo.
In his mind, if he could block Yang Xiaoyun, then capture Su Mo, he could escape.
If luck favored him, he might even turn the tide, reversing the situation.
Unfortunately, he had clearly miscalculated.
Yang Xiaoyun’s skills were mostly in the family’s inherited Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear, but her abilities were also considerable.
Otherwise, if someone got too close, wouldn’t it be troublesome?
With a quick hand movement, they exchanged two or three moves.
However, when it comes to the ingenuity of the moves, Yang Xiaoyun’s family’s grappling techniques were actually inferior to the ‘staff’s’ skills.
Yang Xiaoyun looked taken aback:
“Indeed, a fine claw technique!”
Nonetheless, as she spoke, her fingers filled with Inner Strength, forcibly breaking the ‘staff’s’ grip, quickly reaching for her shoulder, from there sliding down, enveloping several acupoints, sliding towards the wrist, twisting it forcibly made the ‘staff’ cry out, involuntarily turning, and Yang Xiaoyun captured one of her arms.
But the other arm was still unwilling to relent, attempting to turn the crisis into safety.
Yet, Yang Xiaoyun seized it effortlessly, gripping both hands together, smiling lightly:
“Miss, your family’s skills are quite exquisite.”
“…You’re using Inner Strength to win, not truly heroic.”
That ‘staff’ was still resisting stubbornly.
Yang Xiaoyun laughed: “In martial arts combat, life and death determine victory. Who’s discussing heroism with you? Moreover, using your strengths against my weaknesses, if I stubbornly opposed it, wouldn’t that be foolish?”
“Clever words and sharp tongue, extremely annoying!”
The ‘staff’ still refused to give up, struggling mightily, not expecting that the force of the struggle was applied to an empty spot, only feeling a push that released her, the restraints lifted.
Turning back, she saw Yang Xiaoyun smiling:
“Miss, there’s no need for such immense hostility towards us.
“To be honest, if not for my husband’s intention to help you, today you would have been taken back to Shuangxiong Island by Shangguan Zhiyuan and Ximen Xiong.”
“Ah!?”
The ‘staff’ looked shocked.
Just now she sensed something was wrong, sleeping soundly, suddenly people on the ship started moving?
She knew something must have happened, but didn’t know what exactly.
After briefly assembling, she was sent back.
There were originally several others with her in the room, but they were all called out, leaving only her.
At that point, she realized she might be in trouble.
Unfortunately, the cabin had no windows, guarded entrances leaving no escape.
Unexpected, Shangguan Zhiyuan and Ximen Xiong personally came.
Yet upon realizing this, she looked uncertainly at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun:
“Uncle Zhiyuan’s martial arts are exceptional, the brute Ximen even surpasses him.
“If they wanted to capture me themselves…
“Could you truly fend them off?”
“The two you mentioned have now returned.”
Su Mo took two badges from his pocket, one engraved ‘Shangguan’ and the other ‘Ximen’, waving them before the ‘staff’:
“Miss Shangguan, surely you recognize your family’s badge?”
“They even left you a token?”
This ‘staff’ was indeed Shangguan Jingjing, when she demonstrated martial arts just now, it was evident she used the Shangguan Family’s Sky Capturing Eagle Claw Skill.
