Capítulo 1207: Chapter 469: Heard Again_3
The relationship between Shi Cheng and Ye Youchen is indeed extremely close.
Though they never addressed each other politely,
they are truly brothers of life and death.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Mo suddenly flicked his finger, and Shi Cheng turned over abruptly, looking down in astonishment:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, did you… unlock my acupoint?”
“What else?”
“…Thank you, Su, the Chief of the Escort.”
Shi Cheng clasped his fists and then stood there silently.
Ye Youchen was stunned for a moment and said to Su Mo:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, are you letting this fool go?”
“Not exactly.”
Su Mo smiled: “Brother Shi is still of use to me, so naturally, I hope he can stay by my side.
“It’s just that his limbs are healthy, and his injuries are not severe.
“Keeping him restrained is not a long-term plan.
“So I thought it might be better for him to move around and stretch his bones…
“Of course, if he truly wants to leave, I would not impede.
“It’s just that Brother Ye should think clearly.
“Staying by my side at the moment still offers a glimmer of hope for survival.
“Otherwise, your injuries… without Little Situ’s help in treating them.
“It is uncertain if you’ll survive for a few more days.”
“That is so…”
Ye Youchen nodded, glancing at Shi Cheng:
“In that case, Shi Hanzi, you can leave yourself.
“I’m here enjoying the good food and drink, being waited on; there’s no need for you to get in my way.”
Shi Cheng sighed:
“Surely you know how Su, the Chief of the Escort acts; do you think I can’t see it?
“If I leave, your life might be endangered in an instant.”
After speaking, he sat on the bed like a carved stone, no longer moving:
“Moreover, you yourself said that staying here means enjoying the good food and drink.
“Why would I leave? Let you enjoy it all by yourself?”
“…”
Ye Youchen was angry enough to want to swear.
But with Su Mo nearby, he couldn’t utter a single word.
He had to look at Su Mo:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, you are an extraordinary person. Just tell us, what do you want from the two of us on this trip?”
“Nothing much.”
Su Mo said: “I just wanted to ask Brother Ye, do you know about Burning Wood Armor?”
“I do.”
Ye Youchen nodded immediately.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, and Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but ask:
“How much do you know?”
“…Burning Wood Armor is the Qi Family’s treasured item, containing Pure Yang Fire Power, it’s extraordinary.
“It resists water and fire, impervious to knives and swords.
“Wearing it, if attacked, the Fire Power will naturally erupt.
“It won’t just prevent death; it will injure those with its Fire Power instead.”
Ye Youchen smiled slightly as he spoke:
“Moreover, Burning Wood Armor conceals a gigantic secret.
“This secret, besides me, maybe only Qi Dingtian knows in this world.
“Does Su, the Chief of the Escort want to know what this secret is?”
Su Mo shook his head: “I don’t want to know what the secret of Burning Wood Armor is; I just want to know… where Burning Wood Armor is?”
“…”
Ye Youchen sighed: “It’s lost.”
“Lost?”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows: “You did steal the Burning Wood Armor?”
“Yes.”
Ye Youchen didn’t deny it: “I am known as Youchen Xiaoke, my martial arts largely learned from Nanhai’s various sects; knowing of Burning Wood Armor, naturally, I could not ignore it.
“About ten years ago, I arrived near Tianqi Island, taking advantage of the night to probe the Qi Family’s depths.
“Eventually, I succeeded!
“But, that was within expectation.
“I, Ye, traveling Jianghu, have never missed the things I coveted.”
“Heavenly Tablet.”
Su Mo quietly reminded.
“…”
Ye Youchen’s face darkened: “Su, the Chief of the Escort, one shouldn’t humiliate others to the point of losing face.”
Shi Cheng laughed heartily from the side:
“Serves you right, hit him!”
“Just die of foolishness.”
Ye Youchen suddenly lost interest in boasting.
Su Mo, however, smiled: “Since you stole it, then it’s simple, hand it over.”
“…I already said, it’s lost.”
Ye Youchen looked helpless.
Su Mo was only then sure that the so-called lost meant it wasn’t the Qi Family who lost the Burning Wood Armor.
But it was Ye Youchen who also lost it.
Does this thing have some attribute of being obtained but bound to be lost?
Yang Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow:
“Who could steal something from Youchen Xiaoke?
“Especially Burning Wood Armor, such a close-kept item?”
“…”
Ye Youchen’s face grew darker.
He felt tonight, Su Mo and his partner were not just hitting hard; they were hitting him to death.
With a helpless sigh:
“It’s not that I must boast, in the skill of picking pockets, looking across Nanhai, few could surpass me.
“That person couldn’t even touch my heels based on this path.
“But… this person relied on high martial arts, forcibly taking my Burning Wood Armor!
“His actions vile, like a robber, utterly shameless.”
Saying this, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
Su Mo was speechless, wondering if all thieves looked down on robbers?
Xu Lu seemed to have this issue as well.
“Do you know who forcibly took your Burning Wood Armor?”
Su Mo asked again.
Ye Youchen shook his head: “If I knew, I’d have stolen it back by now.
“That person came mysteriously, after seeing me, said nothing and punched immediately.
“Thinking back, he succeeded due to surprise.
“I was unprepared, had no time to dodge, got a violent beating…
“Ahem… Anyway, he knocked me down, stripped me of the Burning Wood Armor, and then vanished.
“Such conduct, isn’t it akin to rodents?”
He sought agreement from Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, and Shi Cheng.
They gave no response, only pondering over how Ye Youchen probably got beaten quite badly back then.
Then he got stripped of his clothes, left abandoned in the wilderness…
Shi Cheng rolled his eyes, rudely spat at him.
Ye Youchen was extremely provoked.
If he had any strength left at present, he’d definitely teach Shi Cheng a lesson about the prowess of Youchen Xiaoke.
But after looking at Su Mo, he continued:
“But that person didn’t know I was born with Night Eye.
“Though he masked his face and the night was deep, I still saw a vermillion mole at the center of his brows.
“He wore a set of black clothes… with a peculiar embroidery on his sleeve.
“It was a sword, the hilt… was a snake head, ferocious and hideous to the extreme.
“Should Su, the Chief of the Escort meet this person by fate, make sure to hit him for me, let me vent my anger.”
“Snake Head Sword!?”
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun’s faces changed simultaneously.
At this point, a sudden eagle cry was heard from outside the window.
Hearing this, Su Mo raised his head, extended a hand, and the window immediately opened. In the shadow, he saw the Messenger Eagle, sent with the news from Lie Huo, returning.
