Novel Full Chapter 1113 438: Nanhai Martial Elder (Part 2)
“Brother Su, if you have any blame to place, feel free to come to me.
“My miserable life won’t last long anyway, you’re free to dispose of me.
“But… I ask you to be merciful to this fool, let him off the hook.”
He spoke sincerely, clearly no longer intending to hide anything.
Shi Cheng listened with mixed feelings.
On one hand, he felt Ye Youchen was truly irritating, but his words also seemed to consider his own fate.
For a moment, he was unsure whether to feel moved or angry.
Finally, a sense of duty surged through his heart, and he couldn’t help but say defiantly:
“Deadpan face, is this your last virtuous words before dying?
“Why should I be spared while you suffer here alone?
“Brother Su… I don’t know what deadpan face said to you, but no matter what, we’re acting together; his offenses should naturally count as mine too.
“Whatever you want to do, just go ahead, Shi Cheng won’t even flinch.”
Ye Youchen couldn’t help but get furious:
“You idiot, why are you showing loyalty now?
“I’m an old man; how could we be peers? Even your father should call me grandpa, what’s it got to do with you here?”
“You shut up!”
In rage, Shi Cheng trembled violently on the bed, unable to resist swearing.
Su Mo and others quietly watched these two incapable of moving argue back and forth.
Pity they weren’t face-to-face, as the spittle couldn’t reach the other’s face.
Instead, they each ended up with spit on their own faces.
Su Mo was at a loss for words, merely watching them curse at each other thinking they had deep-seated hatred.
Turns out they were planning to live and die together.
What a chaotic mess!
However, Ye Youchen’s words just now gave Su Mo plenty of explanations.
Such as why Ye Youchen could pretend to be the disciple of the Great Medical Officer, and how he could unlock the contents of the Medical Scripture.
Clearly, he learned from that Medicine Slave.
Su Mo had heard part of the Medicine Slave’s story from Meng Feifan.
Meng Feifan was indeed a beneficiary, thus Su Mo knew the Great Medical Officer really taught his Medical Skill and even martial arts to some obedient Medicine Slaves.
It seems Ye Youchen encountered a Medicine Slave who trained in the Mystic Ice Seven Extremes.
But nowadays, these matters are no longer the focus.
Longmu Island has collapsed; speaking about these things holds no meaning.
What truly concerns Su Mo is whether Nanhai Martial Elder once received a legacy at Nanhai Martial God Temple?
Longmu Island Master once said the Heavenly Tablet came from Nanhai Martial God Temple.
As for how it ended up in the Da Xuan Dynasty’s hands, it is not hard to imagine.
Emperor Xuan swept across Jianghu, what rare treasure could he not obtain?
Obviously, Nanhai Martial God Temple was not spared.
It’s said no thief leaves empty-handed; though Emperor Xuan wasn’t a thief, he was more formidable than any.
Since he could seize the Heavenly Tablet from Nanhai Martial God Temple… he might have taken other treasures too.
Su Mo previously thought, perhaps the Nanhai Martial God Temple was long gone.
But now it seems… not necessarily.
Otherwise, how could Nanhai Martial Elder have received any legacy?
As his mind wandered, he lightly knocked on the back of the chair, making a sound to quiet the two arguing.
Given Shi Cheng’s growing aggression, Ye Youchen was growing increasingly weak.
At this rate, Ye Youchen might perish without Su Mo lifting a finger.
Upon hearing, Shi Cheng and Ye Youchen indeed quieted down.
Only then did Su Mo speak:
“Though Brother Ye hasn’t been fully honest with me, the hatred is not deep.
“Moreover, considering the current situation, if I were to cause more harm, it would be petty of me.
“Let’s leave it at that.”
Hearing this, Ye Youchen appeared undisturbed, but Shi Cheng breathed a big sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo then said:
“However…”
“… But what?”
Shi Cheng hurriedly asked, “Brother Su, if you have any requests, just speak; I’ll comply without fail.”
“It’s simple.”
Su Mo smiled and said, “I’ve admired Nanhai Martial Elder for a long time, longing to meet him.
“But due to Jianghu’s vastness, it’s hard to find the chance.
“Now that Mr. Shi is a guest on my ship, I hope Mr. Shi can introduce me to Nanhai Martial Elder.”
“…”
Shi Cheng was momentarily unsure whether he had lost his memory or if Su Mo was shameless?
Just now he didn’t even know his father’s name or the three words ‘Nanhai Martial Elder.’
Now he’s unapologetically claiming a longstanding acquaintance?
This man lies without batting an eye.
In this regard, he matches Ye Youchen quite well.
Furthermore, without any reason, why does Su Mo want to meet his father?
Is there malice, or… another purpose?
If refused, what would happen?
Recalling Ye Youchen’s earlier assessment, Shi Cheng was unsure how to proceed.
“You want to see Nanhai Martial Elder?”
As Shi Cheng struggled, Ye Youchen spoke softly:
“For what reason?”
“I’ve long admired him, and wish to meet.”
