Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 193: Chapter 132 Maybe_3

“Haha.”

Su Mo smiled: “What else? There’s no need to be all frowns and worries. Clearly, the other party also has deep concerns about us; otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble.

“Instead of sitting here frowning and getting nowhere, why not ponder over what Li Siyun and that Wan’er’s true identities are?”

“It seems that whatever they said that day, nine out of ten can’t be trusted.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “It’s a pity that because they mentioned my father’s name, we didn’t consider the possibilities thoroughly enough at the time. Now, it’s probably difficult to find them again.”

“It’s not easy to find them, but it’s not entirely impossible to find clues.”

Su Mo said: “There are two possibilities regarding these two people.

“The first is that their identities are fake; what they told us is fake, even their relationship with Uncle Yang in the past is fake.

“The second possibility is that they are telling the truth; that the Mandarin Duck List was indeed prepared as a gift for Uncle Yang, and they didn’t expect this item to become involved in any trouble.

“However, the likelihood of the second possibility is almost non-existent; isn’t it too coincidental? While in their hands, everything was safe and sound, but once it reached our hands, all kinds of demons and ghosts started jumping out?”

At this point, Su Mo paused slightly, then smiled: “But whether their identities are true or false, the end result remains the same.”

“The unchanging point is their commission; this item was meant to be a gift for my father?”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately understood Su Mo’s meaning: “If they’re telling the truth, then it indeed is simply a token of gratitude. But if it’s a lie… why would the item be given to my father?”

“That’s right.”

Su Mo suddenly laughed: “This way, there’s a lot to discuss. From this, at least two other possibilities could arise.”

“Please enlighten me.”

“…”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched; that idiom sounded odd to hear. After organizing his thoughts, he spoke:

“Firstly, they might not care who receives this particular escort mission.

“Because they know that someone will definitely try to hijack the escort along the way. If we can’t protect this escort, no matter who it’s for, the result is the same, the item gets stolen, and everything falls through.

“If this is true, their intent is to lead disaster elsewhere.

“They are aware there’s something problematic with the Mandarin Duck List and don’t want to keep it, to avoid trouble. So, they handed it to the escort agency. If the item gets lost from the agency’s custody, on one hand, they could receive compensation, on the other, they can remain uninvolved. Why not?”

“Hmm… that does seem likely.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded: “But if that’s the case, why bother having us escort it? Your renown in Xuanji Valley is great; everyone knows you are not to be trifled with, and the person behind this must also be extremely wary of you. If they intended to lose the escort, they could’ve easily found some less skillful agency at the Five Directions Gathering.”

“Exactly, that’s what I was thinking too.”

Su Mo nodded: “So, I feel, their words might not be entirely lies. Perhaps they really wanted us to deliver this escort to Uncle Yang.

“Maybe there’s some involvement between them and Uncle Yang that we’re unaware of.

“And the Mandarin Duck List had to be delivered to Uncle Yang, but doubting their own ability to safely do so, they went in a roundabout way and handed it over to us.

“But in doing so…”

“What then?”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately followed up.

Su Mo, however, shook his head: “Let’s not dwell on that point… Sister Yun, have you ever heard Uncle Yang mention anything related to the Mandarin Duck List?”

“…Never.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “Especially in recent years, ever since Uncle Su passed away, Dad has been so secretive in his actions. Whenever I caught a glimpse, he was always evasive, and his demeanor changed drastically from the past.

“I always feel like he’s keeping a lot of things from me.

“That’s probably why we have less and less to talk about.

“In the past… he wasn’t like this.”

Su Mo nodded: “Alright, let’s not overthink it. Whatever the Mandarin Duck List is, perhaps once we see Uncle Yang, we will find the answers. And since it involves him, I’m afraid we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

“Do you think it might be related to Dad stubbornly getting involved with the Luofeng Alliance?”

“How can you say that?”

Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun.

“Just a passing thought…”

Yang Xiaoyun let out a breath: “Thinking about it now, I always feel like Dad is plotting something, but it’s like looking at flowers through the fog; I can’t see it clearly.”

Su Mo reflected on the memory of Yang Yizhi, indeed different from the person he was now.

He wasn’t so inscrutable; rather he was spirited and every visit to the Ziyang Escort Agency brought a lot of fun things.

As a child, when Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo a hard time, his own parents didn’t care much, but it was Yang Yizhi who would take him to seek revenge on Yang Xiaoyun.

He earnestly warned Yang Xiaoyun that one must honor and follow her husband after marriage, and in the future, Su Mo would be your husband, you mustn’t treat him so and so…

In those times, Yang Yizhi’s eyes made Su Mo feel like he cared for him even more than his own father.

And all this, it seemed, began to change after the death of Su Mo’s father.

Su Mo vaguely remembered that during the memorial service, Yang Yizhi’s gaze upon him was extremely complex, including many things, but the younger Su Mo, naive and oblivious, did not take it to heart.

Now in retrospect, it feels somewhat chilling.

What exactly caused Yang Yizhi to change like this?

This led to a matter Su Mo had never seriously considered.

How exactly did Su Mo’s father meet a tragic death on the Jianghu Road?

Who was the opponent?

What was that particular escort about?

And what did Yang Yizhi know about it?

Was it his understanding of something that caused his disposition to shift so drastically?
