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

Chapter 276: Chapter 160 The Ins and Outs_2

Su Mo and his two companions followed closely behind.

However, during the process, he had Yang Xiaoyun and Zhen Xiaoxiao stay behind him.

Now that he was protected by the Vajra Physique, he hadn’t yet tested the limits of this indestructibility, but he imagined he needn’t worry about ordinary ambushes and sneak attacks.

Although Yu Lingxin did not appear to have any malice, he couldn’t let his guard down.

Of course, Yu Lingxin really had no intention of ambushing him. After entering the cave, she simply found a spot to sit and meditate, driving out the cold and drying her clothes.

Su Mo surveyed the surroundings and noticed signs of human habitation.

Stone tables, stone beds, wooden basins, wooden bowls, and there was even a small bookshelf beside them.

The books on the shelf seemed to have been recently organized, as they were still very clean.

“When I was little, my brother and I found this place,”

Yu Lingxin said with a smile: “It was our little secret.

“The Yu Family rules are very strict, and father had high expectations of us, hence, any slight mistake would lead to beating and scolding.

“Back then, every time our father scolded us, we would sneak here to cry and huddle together for warmth.

“We always thought that father didn’t know about this.

“But to our surprise, he had actually always known.

“The stone bed and stone table here were all left behind by him… his own childhood experiences were no different from ours.

“Later on, mother secretly took us to watch him clumsily carve wood, crafting little basins and bowls.

“He focused wholeheartedly on making the bookshelf…

“His martial arts are so advanced that he would normally sense someone looking at him, but mother and we watched him for a whole half an hour, and he didn’t notice at all, with all his attention on these little trinkets.

“That was when we realized that although the Yu Family rules are strict, father he…”

At this point, Yu Lingxin waved her hand:

“There’s no reason to be telling you all this.

“It’s just that when the Yu Family encountered great disaster, my brother and I happened to be here secretly practicing.

“We planned to secretly memorize the Fifth Stage chant of the Yu Soul Killing Technique and surprise our father on his birthday.

“However, by the time we memorized the chant, there was no one left to hear it.”

Saying this, she glanced at Su Mo: “You asked if I knew your father… I did. After the Yu Family faced great calamity, even from here, we could see the flames at home. The cries of killing spread far and wide. Mother found us and told us never to leave this place, then she went alone to draw away the Chasing Army.

“By the time we saw outsiders again… it was your father and…”

She paused, glancing at Yang Xiaoyun: “Yang Yizhi.”

Yang Xiaoyun let out a light breath.

Although the answer was already quite clear, hearing Yu Lingxin say it made it feel different.

“What exactly… did they intend to do?”

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but ask.

Yu Lingxin looked at her quietly: “I don’t know.”

“Hm?”

Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback.

Yu Lingxin then said, “They knew my father, especially… Uncle Su. I would occasionally see him visiting my father when I was a child, but what they specifically talked about, father never let me know.

“I didn’t even know their names until the Yu Family faced its great disaster and the two of them found my brother and me.

“Afterward, Uncle Su took me to be an apprentice.

“Uncle Yang took away my brother.

“You’ve met him—the Qilin.

“For the next dozen years, I’ve been diligently practicing martial arts, and it was my master who told me of Uncle Su’s death.

“Until then, I had no idea he had opened an escort agency, which is why I didn’t recognize you the first time we met.”

She said this, smiling at Su Mo: “It wasn’t until recently when I met Yang Yizhi that I learned of some things.”

With these words, she stopped talking.

Su Mo paused briefly and took a look at her: “When you said ’recently,’ when exactly was that?”

“Inside Xuanji Valley, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, thwarted a plot by the Youquan Sect that had been underway for two decades.

“At that time, he was there too, and he saw the Qilin.

“Also, you don’t have to worry about Old Man Shihen anymore.

“That old man kept saying he wanted revenge on you, as if he could bear it.

“He was simply crushed to death by him.

“Even though Old Man Shihen wasn’t your match anyway…”

Yu Lingxin sighed: “It’s a pity, I had some use for Old Man Shihen, but it doesn’t matter. Later, he brought Wu Daoyou to Dongcheng, mainly to see me.”

“…The timeline doesn’t match up.”

Su Mo suddenly spoke.

“Hm?”

Yu Lingxin looked at Su Mo, a curve forming at the corner of her mouth: “What timeline are you referring to?”

Su Mo gently exhaled:

“The Golden Jade Cone matter is very complex. If we trace it back, it started when Ji Wanli from Heavenly Gate Escort Agency accepted that mission.

“Even if he hurried on fast horses, it would take over a month to reach the Heavenly Blade Sect.

“It wasn’t until after he returned to the escort agency that he was killed.”
