Chapter 279: Chapter 161: Heavenly Gate Master!_2

“??”

Su Mo blinked his eyes.

“Rest assured.”

Yu Lingxin said, “Accompanying them is Ji Feiyang, and after Ji Wanli’s death, I must give him an explanation. Therefore, I have some understanding of this group of people’s situation. In these recent days, the reason I’ve been guarding outside Cangfeng Valley day and night is to prevent this very issue.

“If they do come, I will bring them here.”

“Then thank you very much.”

Su Mo gently clasped his hands in thanks.

Yu Lingxin waved her hand dismissively: “It’s what I should do anyway.”

“In that case, I have another presumptuous request…”

“Just speak freely.”

“When the time comes, I wonder if Miss Yu could let us know. So we, too, can witness the excitement…

“Additionally, we have many things we wish to discuss with Uncle Yang, but meeting him now, given his temperament, might complicate matters unnecessarily.

“Thus, it might be better to appear after things are set in stone, to avoid any additional twists in your plans.”

Su Mo clasped his hands lightly again.

“Alright.”

Yu Lingxin agreed readily and gave Su Mo another look: “Since that’s the case, you should rest here for now. This place is hidden, known only to me and Qilin. You can rest easy… goodbye.”

“Please.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun clasped their fists and saw off Yu Lingxin.

As they exchanged glances, Su Mo suddenly spoke up:

“What do you think the relationship between Uncle Yang and Wu Daoyou really is?”

Though the question seemed out of the blue, Yang Xiaoyun understood what Su Mo meant.

All along, in their minds, Yang Yi and Wu Daoyou were merely allies.

And what they coveted was the position of Luofeng Alliance Leader.

But if that was the case, why would Wu Daoyou get involved in this matter?

From the current situation, Wu Daoyou seemed to be just a decoy thrown out by Yang Yi.

On the surface, they came to Dongcheng to pave the way for Wu Daoyou, but in reality, they aimed to deal with the Three Extremes Sect.

Even Wu Daoyou, one could say, put forth people as needed, exerted influence regardless of his own status as one of the Three Alliance Leaders.

In light of this, the relationship between these two men was evidently more complex than previously imagined.

“Ah, more and more, I feel that the father I remember is completely different from the one now.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “They’ve hidden so much from us.

“Just now, Miss Yu said so much, regardless of whether it was out of resentment or grievances.

“At least, she isn’t clueless.

“She has clearly seen a lot of things, understands who the opponent is, and knows how to take revenge.

“But when it comes to us, if there is more to Uncle Su’s death, if father truly died because of it…

“We wouldn’t even know whom to seek revenge from.”

“After this is over, Uncle Yang must give us a reasonable explanation.”

Su Mo said with a smile.

“…And what if he doesn’t tell us?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo.

“Hmm…”

Su Mo pondered for a moment before saying: “How about trying the Suffering People Scripture?”

Yang Xiaoyun’s eyes widened in disbelief, then he seemed somewhat eager to try:

“Should we… really try it?”

“It seems your little cotton-padded jacket is really letting the wind through.”

Su Mo rolled his eyes.

Then they saw Zhen Xiaoxiao, rubbing her belly sadly.

“Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong?”

Su Mo casually asked.

“I seem to have lost weight.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao’s eyes brimmed with tears: “I worked so hard to get this plump, and now to lose weight?”

“…”

“…”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were momentarily speechless, only to hear Yang Xiaoyun say: “Should we go find something to eat?”

“Cangfeng Valley seems peaceful, but it’s actually undercurrents surging. We should be careful if we go out now. I think we should wait till nightfall.”

Yang Xiaoyun immediately nodded in agreement, and although Zhen Xiaoxiao was hungry, she wouldn’t cause trouble for Su Mo, blinking her eyes and waiting eagerly.

But waiting naturally couldn’t just be sitting around; the cave was cramped with unclear surroundings.

So, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, along with Zhen Xiaoxiao, simply left the cave and found a high ground overlooking the waterfall entrance.

As soon as nightfell, before they went out in search of food, someone arrived first.

The person walked through the waterfall and wiped his face several times after entering:

“To think of coming to such a place in this freezing weather, she really had quite the idea.”

While speaking, this person made his way into the cave.

Tall and carrying a sword on his shoulder—a very long sword… a full seven feet long!

On the other end of the sword hung a basket filled with food.

He had turned the Seven Feet Mysterious Light Sword into a carrying pole.

As the three from the high place came down, the man with a look of confusion was searching in the cave: “Where are they?”

“Over here.”

Su Mo called out.

The Qilin Swordsman whirled around, the corners of his mouth twitching: “Starved, aren’t you? Brought you some food.”

He set the basket down, and Zhen Xiaoxiao, upon seeing it, displayed agility that belied her plump figure, and in a flash, she was beside the basket, taking a piece of flatbread and biting into it.

With one bite, the flatbread, which was not much smaller than her face, was reduced by two-thirds, the remainder shaped like a crescent moon.

The Qilin Swordsman was left agape, instinctively stepping back and glancing at Su Mo:
