Chapter 278: Chapter 161 Heavenly Gate Master!

Because… bad?

Yu Lingxin answered Su Mo’s question without any hesitation, yet this response left both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun staring at each other in stunned silence.

However, a smirk appeared on Yu Lingxin’s lips:

“In the past, the Yu Family’s involvement with the Mysterious Mechanism was undoubtedly linked to your father and Yang Yizhi.

“My father, of course, understood the perils involved, and since he was entangled in the matter, he must have been prepared.

“I do not know if he ever considered that this could lead to the annihilation of the entire Yu Family… but I reckon that, given his character, as long as it was a matter of righteousness, he would have no regrets even at the cost of a hundred deaths.

“As children, we do not recklessly judge the actions of our parents.

“What they stood for, what they knew—these are not things I can comprehend now.

“The one thing I believe in is that, if I were in their place, perhaps I would have made the same choices.

“But that doesn’t mean I can’t be angry.”

She said this and then quietly looked at Su Mo: “Why is it that you can be so well protected?

“Ever since Qilin brought back news of Yang Yizhi, I have been inquiring about you…

“What a carefree Young Leader you are, untroubled by life’s hardships, untormented by hatred.

“Even if your father perished on the Jianghu Road, you still managed to indulge in pleasure, unhesitant to spend all your family’s wealth.

“You, such as you are, make me even angrier…

“Some pay with their lives for this, some endure unbearable agony, why is it that only you get to enjoy peace and happiness without knowing anything?”

Su Mo subconsciously touched his nose:

“So, you’re telling me all this because you don’t want me to continue living carefreely, to make me suffer the pain and torment you’ve felt?

“It doesn’t seem to be enough to satisfy your vengeance… After all, according to you, I am a heartless person.

“Even the death of my own father doesn’t weigh on me, so why would your words matter to me?”

“This is also something I find incomprehensible about you.”

Yu Lingxin shook her head gently: “You used to be indifferent to everything, but starting over two years ago, you suddenly changed.

“Since then, you haven’t gone to those places anymore; instead, you have resumed your martial arts practice.

“That punch by the lake, I still remember it vividly.

“In the battle at Xuanji Valley, you killed three of the Three Commanders with a single sword strike. The event is hotly debated even among the Dongcheng Demon Sect.

“Those demon spawn are very wary of you.

“If you were still the carefree person of the past, at most I might have gone to Luoxia City to find you and give you a good thrashing.

“However, now that you’ve seen the light and gained a different perspective and thoughts, by making everything clear to you, you naturally won’t remain detached as before.

“This accomplishes my goal.

“Besides, you and your companions have followed me here, presumably because you too seek to uncover the truth, right?”

Su Mo nodded: “So, I should thank you.”

“…”

Yu Lingxin fell silent.

The vengeance for her parents and the hatred for the extermination of her clan—she must avenge these.

What connection Su Tianyang had with her father, she didn’t know, but it was clear it must have been significant.

It likely was even the catalyst that led to the destruction of the Yu Family.

However, as much as she despised the incident, it was a decision made by her father in the past.

She knew that neither Su Kaiyang nor Yang Yizhi wished for the Yu Family to face such calamity.

Otherwise, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to rescue her and her brother.

Yet in Jianghu, how can everything go smoothly?

Hence, the discomfort in her heart was far from culminating in wanton killing, but swallowing this grievance was certainly not easy.

Therefore, she might as well let Su Mo know everything he wanted to know in this fashion.

Let any protection Yang Yizhi provided for Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun fail entirely.

It was a form of release for her anger.

What she didn’t mention was because Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had followed her all the way here.

Evidently, they, too, sought clarity on the matter.

Otherwise, she would not have specially traveled to Luoxia City to have this conversation with Su Mo.

But the complexity of these feelings was indeed beyond words.

“Miss Yu, now that your plans are set, do you know the whereabouts of the Three Extremes Disciples?”

“What do you want to do?”

Yu Lingxin was taken aback by the question.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Mo began to speak:

“The disappearance of the Endless Blade Tong Yun is tied to an old affair from years past.

“Once, an Overlord Mace challenged Tong Yun and, upon failure, died in despair, instructing his son to seek revenge against Tong Yun…”

He briefly recounted the incident.

He then said: “Before this, this person, along with Feng Baichuan of the Heavenly Blade Sect and Fu Han Yuan of the Northern Territory, collaborated to search for Tong Yun. They captured the Huai Mountain Five Tigers outside the tea house, learning of the old affairs.

“Therefore… they are likely also rushing here right now.

“If they happen to arrive at an inopportune time and disrupt your arrangements…”

Yu Lingxin listened quietly, calmly gazing at Su Mo for a while before offering a light smile:

“I’m starting to regret telling you all this…

“The past you may not have deserved it, but now, you seem worth it.”
