Novel Full Chapter 1237 479: Ambition? (Part 3)
But now, Su Mo took off right in front of them, and they couldn’t catch a glimpse of his figure.
For a moment, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts.
The Deputy Hall Master pulled out the copper tobacco pipe from his waist, filled it up, and with a push of Inner Strength from his thumb, he took a deep breath to light the pipe.
Smoke drifted out in the light rain, and the Deputy Hall Master’s eyes flickered with complexity.
With a final wave of his hand, the numerous experts standing in the courtyard scattered instantly.
“How much do you think he believed of what I said to him?”
The Deputy Hall Master spoke softly.
Mo Suiyu was taken aback; he didn’t even know what the Deputy Hall Master had said to Su Mo.
How could he know how much Su Mo believed?
After a brief pause for thought, he said in a deep voice:
“The Deputy Hall Master entrusted him with the Dark Dragon Order, showing uncommon sincerity.
“Su Mo is indeed wise and resourceful, but I imagine he wouldn’t doubt the Deputy Hall Master’s words…”
“Little Mo, I’ve already told you, save the bootlicking and spend more time delving into martial arts and Heart Skills.”
The Deputy Hall Master gently shook his head.
Mo Suiyu was about to say that his words came from the heart.
But then he heard the Deputy Hall Master say coolly:
“But if you really believe that, you deserve to die.”
“Yes… your subordinate was ignorant.”
Mo Suiyu immediately lowered his head, but after a moment of hesitation, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Then… how much does the Hall Master think he believed?”
“He…”
The Deputy Hall Master grinned: “Aside from the story, he probably wouldn’t believe a single word.
“Even regarding that story, how much he believes is uncertain…”
“What?”
Mo Suiyu’s face changed: “Then… what should we do?”
“Isn’t this good?”
The Deputy Hall Master said with a smile: “Someone like him, if he believed everything like you do, sooner or later he’d be devoured until not even his bones remain.
“Moreover, there is something about him that makes me rather pleased.”
“Pleased… what is it?”
“His ambition.”
The Deputy Hall Master laughed: “His ambition is far greater than imagined.
“This is very good… very good!!
“The only pity is, it confirms that the Xuantian Treasure Seal isn’t on him.”
“This…”
Mo Suiyu was momentarily confused.
But he remembered something else and quickly took out a letter from his lapel and handed it to the Deputy Hall Master:
“This is from the Hall Master.”
The Deputy Hall Master’s brows slightly furrowed, and the cheerful smile faded somewhat.
After reading the letter, he sighed heavily, and the smile on his face disappeared completely:
“My good mood is all gone…
“Little Mo, do you know what the most detestable thing in this world is?”
“What?”
“Someone who clearly understands nothing yet pretends to understand everything.”
“…”
Mo Suiyu didn’t dare say a word.
Then the Deputy Hall Master asked again: “Do you know what the most terrifying thing in this world is?”
“…Subordinate does not know.”
Mo Suiyu was almost in tears.
Sure enough, he heard the Deputy Hall Master coldly laugh:
“It’s someone who clearly knows nothing yet insists on pretending to know it all and meddling!”
After saying this, he turned and entered the main hall; as he passed, without actually touching any tables or chairs.
They all flew sideways and crashed against the walls, shattering into pieces.
Mo Suiyu bowed deeply to the Deputy Hall Master’s back:
“Your subordinate has been taught a lesson.”
…
…
It wasn’t until the midday Wu hour that Su Mo returned to the Qi Family.
Before this, he had also gone to Shuanglong City.
The people he caught, he had to deal with, and under the circumstances, Su Mo had no reason to be merciless toward the people from Dark Dragon Hall.
So he let them go.
Although Xiao He was somewhat unwilling, considering that ‘Saint Zuo’ surely had his own ‘plot’ within, he agreed readily.
He then begged Su Mo for forgiveness for his earlier reluctance.
At the time, Su Mo could only look at the inexplicably excited Xiao He with a puzzled expression and feign profundity…
Afterward, bringing along Xiao He, Old Ma, and the newly disguised Lord Zimu, he returned to Tianqi City.
The morning passed quietly with all the fussing.
The rain also stopped unnoticed.
Back in the courtyard, after letting Xiao He and Old Ma rest, Su Mo took Lord Zimu to the Pharmacy to find Little Situ.
His first words were:
“Is there any Soul Loss Potion left?”
Little Situ immediately nodded: “There is, of course.”
“Use it on him.”
Su Mo pointed to Lord Zimu beside him.
Lord Zimu: “…”
He realized that Su Mo didn’t seem to treat him as a person; how he handled him was always so direct.
Previously, Su Mo had openly told him that he was a dead man…
And now, in front of him, he’s talking about using the Soul Loss Potion on him.
So, what is this Soul Loss Potion exactly?
This thought crossed his mind, and he asked instinctively, though he didn’t expect Su Mo to answer.
But fear? Hardly.
Having endured the Suffering People Scripture, what is a Soul Loss Potion?
Then he heard Su Mo say:
“The Soul Loss Potion… simply put, once you take it, you’ll obey me absolutely.”
“I see.”
Lord Zimu was somewhat relieved… Not that he had much choice, could he change Su Mo’s mind?
Little Situ didn’t hesitate; she didn’t know who Lord Zimu was anyway.
After all, if Su Mo said to use it, she’d use it.
Taking out a packet of powder, she casually poured a cup of tea, mixed the powder in thoroughly.
Then she handed it to Lord Zimu.
Lord Zimu accepted it and without a word, drank it all in one go.
Swallowing it down, he turned to look at Su Mo:
“It seems, there’s no change?”
Su Mo just smiled:
“All along, for our Great Noble Wish, you’ve been a secret agent inside the Seven Killings Hall. It’s been hard on you.”
Lord Zimu was initially puzzled, a secret agent?
What secret agent?
But soon, his eyes reddened, and he fell to his knees:
“For our Great Noble Wish, even if it means braving fire and water, this subordinate is willing!
“Being able to hear these words from you today… this subordinate, this subordinate… is profoundly grateful!”
Su Mo clicked his tongue in amazement, casting a glance at Little Situ:
“This thing… don’t prepare it in advance in the future, just mix it when needed.
“If it gets out, it’s really too dangerous.”
“Hmm, I’ll listen to you.”
Little Situ smiled slightly: “But Brother Su would definitely not use it for bad deeds.”
Su Mo was momentarily amused yet helpless.
Feeling that even if he were to commit murder and arson in front of Little Situ, committing all sorts of misdeeds,
Little Situ would find a righteous reason for him…
Idol worship is not good!
