Novel Full Chapter 1126 442: Eldest Miss (Part 3)
But after hearing the latter part, it seemed reasonable, just human nature.
For a moment, his brow furrowed, “What do you want then?”
Su Mo sighed:
“I dare not speak arrogantly… Alas, I just lament my martial arts is insufficient, otherwise, even offending these two families wouldn’t matter much.”
“This…”
Shangguan Jingjing glanced at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
She did not doubt his words.
Though she had just sparred with Yang Xiaoyun and was bullied by his Inner Strength.
However, in terms of skillful moves, she was indeed superior.
Thinking about it, she clapped her hands decisively and said:
“In that case, shall I pass on the family’s Skyhawk Jade Record to you?”
“Ah!”
Su Mo was stunned.
You’re so generous, does your father Shangguan Hongtu know?
Family legacy isn’t something you can just give away, is it?
Immediately he waved his hand hastily:
“That is too heavy, I can’t accept it, can’t accept it.”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingjing felt somewhat discouraged:
“Then what should I do? I, I now have nothing to offer, truly don’t know how to repay…”
Su Mo smiled upon hearing this:
“Frankly, I dare not covet the absolute skills of the Shangguan Family or the Ximen Family.”
“Moreover, if the families learn of this, I will be blamed and end up causing trouble for myself.”
“But…”
He paused slightly at this point.
Shangguan Jingjing quickly asked, “Speak your mind; if it is something I or Brother Ximen can assist with, we will do so without hesitation.”
“Oh well…”
Su Mo shook his head and said: “This is actually just a delusion of mine.”
“It’s just that the opportunity is rare, I venture to mention it.”
These words were unclear, Shangguan Jingjing felt anxious, not knowing what he truly wanted to say.
After glancing at Yang Xiaoyun, her heart calmed slightly, patiently waiting for more.
Then she heard Su Mo say:
“I have admired the absolute skill of the Ximen Family for a long time; it is said there are two sets of Divine Skills inherited back then.”
“One named Great Transformation Bright Heart Scripture, the other being the current inheritance, Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture.”
“I dare not desire the Jade Crown Quenching Heart Scripture.”
“But I wish to explore the ancient site through Young Master Ximen’s insights.”
“To see if I can find the legendary Great Transformation Bright Heart Scripture.”
“This skill isn’t the inheritance of the Ximen Family, so presumably it would not anger them.”
“Ah? You also want to go there?”
“Also?”
Su Mo was stunned, instinctively glancing at Yang Xiaoyun.
“This…”
After hesitating a bit, Shangguan Jingjing replied solemnly:
“To be honest, the plan for myself and my gentleman to shed golden cicada came from another party.”
“We don’t know the origin of this person.”
“Only that he has high martial arts skill, exceptional intelligence, and connects the world.”
“In the Martial Arts Tournament today, Zhou Chang defeating opponents was due to this person’s guidance, leading Zhou Chang’s ‘outshine the crowd’ victory.”
“This person helped us meticulously for one purpose… to find the location of the Ximen Family’s inheritance site.”
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun felt slightly stirred upon hearing this.
However, their faces remained unchanged, Su Mo feigned surprise and said:
“Is there such a thing?”
“Did you agree?”
“Hmm…”
Shangguan Jingjing smiled: “Frankly, the Ximen Family’s inheritance site has long been rumored in Jianghu. But actually, it’s not that mysterious.”
“Brother Ximen told me openly, the ancestors of the Ximen Family have searched according to the map.”
“And they already found it…
“But there was only an empty, ruined temple, nothing else.”
“No sign of the Great Transformation Bright Heart Scripture.”
“So, when that person proposed this, my gentleman agreed without hesitation.”
“I see.”
Su Mo nodded slightly, yet his heart was attentive to the ‘ruined temple.’
Could it be the Cui Xin Temple?
If the Nanhai Cuixin Temple mentioned by Wan Yutang indeed refers to that place, whether it holds secrets must be investigated.
Moreover, if it’s as Shangguan Jingjing said.
The place is already empty.
Why would those seeking the location of the place go to such lengths?
Perhaps it’s not that simple.
Regardless, the Nanhai Cuixin Temple involves the Mysterious Mechanism and mustn’t be overlooked.
If no one intends to seize it, I could reconsider visiting after the Xizhou journey.
But since someone is probing into the matter, I cannot ignore it.
In case the party belongs to the Jinglong Association.
It might lead to additional discoveries.
Thinking thus, Shangguan Jingjing said:
“Do you want to suggest another condition?”
Su Mo smiled: “No need; as the saying goes, fortune blesses me, misfortune is fate.”
“I already harbor the notion of covetousness and am prepared to gain nothing.”
“Without exploring, I won’t rest assured.”
“So… please fulfill my request, Miss Shangguan.”
“Alright.”
Shangguan Jingjing nodded: “This won’t be difficult, Brother Ximen arranged with them to hand over the Sea Map once we’re safely on Tianqi Island.”
“By then, I’ll have him copy a version to give to you.”
“Alright.”
Su Mo stood up: “Then I must thank Miss Shangguan.”
“I should be the one thanking you both.”
Shangguan Jingjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Su Mo went to find Song Yuanlong and Yin Xiaoyu, settling the residence for Miss Shangguan.
Shangguan Jingjing felt calm seeing Yin Xiaoyu.
She followed them away.
At this point, the couple finally exchanged smiles, Yang Xiaoyun pouting, said:
“Bullying a child this way isn’t the manner of the first master in Donghuang.”
“I haven’t seen Lady stopping.”
Su Mo chuckled silently: “Seems the young lady truly is pampered by Shangguan Hongtu, unaware of Jianghu’s perils.”
He reined in his smile:
“We probably have to speed up at sea.”
The other seekers of the ‘Sea Map’ remain unidentified.
But once the young couple hands over the map, they might not escape unharmed.
Curious if Eldest Young Master Ximen is as… naive as Miss Shangguan.
