Chapter 247: Chapter 150 A Gentleman’s Word_3

Before she could finish, Yang Xiaoyun’s lips were silenced by Su Mo’s finger pressing against them.

Then he stretched out his hand and knocked heavily on her head: “Nonsense, spit it out.”

“…Oh.”

Yang Xiaoyun pursed her lips and obediently spit three times towards the river.

But she just felt the hand Su Mo was holding tighten slightly, and she was suddenly pulled into his embrace.

At first she was somewhat uneasy, Su Mo had never done such a thing before.

But when she looked up at him, she noticed an unusual gravity on his face. She then sighed and leaned her face against Su Mo’s chest:

“I’m just saying, it’s just a hypothetical… It’s not real.

“With you protecting me, how could anything really happen to me?

“But still, whenever I think about you being all alone…

“My dad loved deeply and was faithful to my mom, thus he found it hard to accept others.

“That’s why I deeply know the pain in his heart, even though he never speaks of it.

“Uncle Su and his wife shared a deep love, leaving you alone in this world.

“Uncle Fu is getting old, and eventually, we will have to care for him until his passing.

“But if I were to leave you, then who would look after your meals and daily life?

“Who would remember to add clothes for you when it’s cold, or warm your meals when they chill?

“If you were alone, with no one to take care of you…

“Just the thought of it makes me feel unbearable.

“Xiao Mo… you must promise me, okay?”

“No.”

Su Mo quietly shook his head: “If such a day really comes, I’ll be a complete mess every day, unable to eat or sleep well, with no heart to run the escort agency, which will then fall into neglect.

“I would also end up homeless, drowning my sorrows in wine every day…

“Who knows, I might just be killed by someone at any time.

“Even if not, I might die from cold and hunger…”

Yang Xiaoyun hurriedly covered Su Mo’s mouth: “Quick, spit it out!”

Su Mo just quietly looked at Yang Xiaoyun.

Under his intent gaze, Yang Xiaoyun finally hung her head in silence:

“I understand… I won’t leave you alone.”

“Good that you understand.”

Only then did Su Mo spit out three times towards the river.

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh: “Su, the Chief of the Escort, such a heroic figure who broke the Youquan Sect…how can you be like a child, utterly clueless?”

“Vice Leader Yang, what grounds do you have to say that?”

Su Mo gave her a glance, then took her hand and gently held it in the palm of his: “You once said, you could not push me away in this life, could not leave me behind.

“I agreed to that, but you must also promise me to stay by my side for life.

“To the ends of the earth, never to part even for a moment.”

Yang Xiaoyun softly pressed her lips together, nodding emphatically.

“A man’s word is his bond, not even a team of horses can chase it back.

“A gentleman’s promise weighs more than a thousand catties. Sister Yun, if you dare break your word and become complacent, even if it’s down to the Nine Netherworld, I’ll never agree.”

Su Mo’s voice was not loud, but was extremely determined.

Yang Xiaoyun took a deep breath, reached out to smoothen his brows that were unknowingly knit together, and then said with a smile:

“Okay.”

…

…

The story of Chu Qiuyu in Lengyue Palace and Ziyang Sect, to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, was after all just a story.

At least for the short term, Su Mo had no intention of visiting the Ziyang Sect.

And it would probably not be easy to get in touch with the people from the Lengyue Palace either.

Traveling down the river, for Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun aboard the ship, it was a rare moment of tranquility.

The two of them sometimes admired the riverside scenery, at other times they sat down to fish.

Zhen Xiaoxiao would sometimes follow the two, holding a one-legged copper man, keeping passersby at a distance.

At other times, she would be sound asleep in the cabin, with her snores loud enough to shake the heavens.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and before they were aware, the large ship had stopped again, this time at the Jiyang Ferry.

“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, and Chief Yang, the Eternal Night Valley is secretive and likely has no small scheme in mind. We must first report this matter to our sect before making further plans.

“Therefore, this is where we part ways with everyone.”

Chu Qiuyu and the other disciples from Lengyue Palace bid farewell to Su Mo’s party by clasping their hands.

“Good, the Demon Sect’s evil people are despicable in their methods, please be careful in dealing with them.

“As the saying goes, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, we shall meet again someday!”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun clasped their hands in a salute.

Zhen Xiaoxiao, standing beside them with the one-legged copper man, looked around fiercely.

But seeing that both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had done so, after thinking it over, she set down the copper man and followed suit.

After seeing off Chu Qiuyu and the group, Su Mo and his two companions resumed their journey.

The Jiyang Ferry was still not particularly close to the Haoran Academy.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun rode on horses, continuing their journey. They initially wanted to have Zhen Xiaoxiao try riding as well.

But they had underestimated the girl’s weight.

The moment she sat on an ordinary horse, it couldn’t bear her, its legs gave out, and it flopped on the ground.

Even a fine steed, when she tried to mount it, could barely walk a few steps before ultimately failing to proceed.

This left both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun dumbfounded.

Zhen Xiaoxiao’s weight seemed to be far more exaggerated than her physical size.

Initially, Su Mo thought she might have hidden some heavy objects on her, like Heart Protection Armor or an Arm Protector.

But it turned out there were none.

This girl was genuinely that heavy.

Yet such weight was strangely bizarre, and upon inquiry, Zhen Xiaoxiao told them it was because she had many tadpoles in her body. The combined weight of these tadpoles made her all the heavier.

If one day these tadpoles merged with her so that they were indistinguishable from each other, then she would be able to move lightly all at once.

Su Mo was noncommittal about this and had no choice but to let the two of them ride horses while she followed on foot.

The girl had enduring Inner Strength, seemingly endless.

As long as she was well-fed, she seemed like she could run forever.

On this journey of five or six days, everything went smoothly.

That day, at high noon and noticing Zhen Xiaoxiao’s slowing pace, both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun knew the girl was hungry again.

Just as they were about to find a place to rest, Yang Xiaoyun’s gaze fell on a tea shop beside the road not too far away.

After a quick discussion with Su Mo, they decided to stop at the tea shop to find some food and drink before leaving.

Inside the tea shop, people were seated in groups of threes and twos, and there were quite a few customers with only two empty tables left.

Seeing Su Mo’s party approaching, everyone looked their way. They didn’t linger too much on Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun’s faces, but when their eyes fell on Zhen Xiaoxiao, they inevitably paused a little longer.

The three of them entered the tea shop and were about to sit down when suddenly a breeze came.

Startled, they turned around and saw at the end of the road, a soft palanquin was approaching.

Four white-dressed young women carried the palanquin with light steps, and on top of the palanquin, a young master in white was engrossed in a book, his gaze so focused as if he was beyond distraction.
