Chapter 727: Chapter 310: Disaster Befalls Jiangdong
“I truly love Wan Cangxin!!”
This statement echoed in the hall for a long time without any response.
It left all the Hall Masters in the hall utterly speechless.
What kind of occasion is this, Miss?
Who you love in your heart, what does that have to do with the matter being discussed right now?
Someone immediately felt helpless.
Indeed still a child at heart, only knowing how to create a scene.
Some even frowned deeply…
This matter seems irrelevant, but the issue is actually very significant after these words were spoken.
In fact, it has a wide range of implications.
Some issues might arise because of this statement.
Among them, Li Zhongming was certainly the most upset.
Outwardly proclaiming with great noise that his son and Wan Yilan were deeply in love, childhood sweethearts.
The matter of Wan Cangxin was completely untrue.
Now, the Miss in front of everyone pulled such a stunt.
If it were only in front of other Hall Masters, it wouldn’t matter.
But Su Mo was also here.
Just as he was thinking, someone laughed with a ’pfft’.
Li Zhongming was instantly furious.
What kind of situation is this, and you dare to laugh?
Absolutely unreasonable!
He immediately looked towards the source of the sound, intending to see which ignorant person it was, and planned to teach him a lesson after the matter was concluded.
He was immediately silenced when he saw it was Yang Xiaoyun…
The Vice Leader of Ziyang Escort Agency, was it his place to manage?
Then, he noticed that Su Mo was also laughing.
As Su Mo laughed, he glanced at Li Zhongming, who felt embarrassed and said:
“Miss is naive and innocent, easily deceived by evildoers, Lord Su of the Escort, please don’t mind.”
“Hmm?”
Su Mo lightly shook his head:
“Hall Master Li, this remark is quite puzzling to me.
Even if Miss Wan is naive and innocent, would she not know whom she likes or dislikes?
And…”
He paused slightly, looking at Bei Changzhi:
“What the North Hall Master just mentioned, now it seems, is indeed terribly wrong.
Since Miss Wan and Wan Cangxin truly love each other, I actually have something I would like to ask Miss Wan…”
“Lord Su of the Escort, please feel free to ask.”
Wan Yilan nodded immediately: “As long as I know it, there will absolutely be no deception.”
“Good.”
Su Mo smiled and pondered briefly before speaking:
“The message that came out from Wusheng Hall was that on that night, Wan Cangxin went to see you, hoping to take you away to elope.
However, you did not agree.
As such, Wan Cangxin, out of anger, set the Wusheng Hall on fire.
I, at that time, did not pay much attention to the news.
I only thought that Wan Cangxin was, as the North Hall Master said, delusional about his feelings for Miss Wan…
Now that Miss Wan has stated that you and Wan Cangxin are truly in love,
Let me casually ask, if you truly loved each other, why didn’t you elope with Wan Cangxin that night?”
Su Mo was of course aware of the situation, as Wan Cangxin had not hidden anything from him.
But since things have gotten to this point today, he might as well take the opportunity to address it.
Previously, Su Mo didn’t have a suitable reason or excuse, but now that Miss Wan has suddenly come forward, it naturally followed.
Wan Yilan’s face immediately showed a look of sorrow:
“Because… he never came to look for me.
If he had come, I would definitely have gone with him.
To the ends of the earth, never to part!
But, he was so cruel… not even a glance at me when he left.”
Su Mo felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
It wasn’t that Wan Cangxin didn’t want to see her, it was just that the situation that night was indeed more complicated than imagined.
He lightly tapped his finger on the back of his chair, then looked towards Bei Changzhi:
“Does the North Hall Master understand now?
There was no delusional infatuation, nor was there anger.
The two of them never met at all!”
Bei Changzhi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Yet, he frowned deeply:
“Since Miss has said this, let’s assume that Wan Cangxin did not meet with the Miss that night.
However, on that day, the Great Hall Master ordered the capture,
For that person to set fire in order to escape Wusheng Hall, it is also within reason.”
Everyone was just about to nod when a voice rang out:
“It’s not within reason.”
There was no need to look, everyone was already looking at the speaker, Li Xuechun, who was kneeling to one side.
Li Zhongming glared at his son:
“What is this of yours again?”
“Dad…”
Li Xuechun sighed, “What’s ours is ours; what’s not ours, we can’t beg for it.”
He said this and stood up, glanced at the people present, and smiled slightly:
“I originally came here with my junior sister to watch the excitement, but once Wan Cangxin was mentioned, my junior sister couldn’t sit still.
Since that’s the case, let me share my opinion…
Everyone says the fire was set by Wan Cangxin, but let me ask a question.
During his time at our Wusheng Hall, where was Wan Cangxin assigned?”
“Obviously, the Tenth Hall.”
Qilin Swordsman immediately answered.
Today, the drama seems to be straying further and further away, now even stretching to Wan Cangxin himself, making him quite expectant of how this play would unfold next.
“Then… where did the fire start?”
Li Xuechun asked.
“Near the Fourth Hall.”
