Novel Full Chapter 1508 - 568: Exotic Flowers and the Maze (Part 3)
Sure, here is the translation:
"It must be man-made."
Little Situ laughed and said:
"Smile flowers prefer shady, damp places, often found in marshes and deserted lands.
"A single flower or two won’t cause much harm to humans.
"However, if it’s a sea of flowers and you recklessly step into it, illusions will be endless, leading to death with a smile, hence its name.
"Thus, according to their nature, these flowers shouldn’t appear in this forest.
"Besides, it’s already late autumn now.
"Leaves have turned yellow and fallen, these flowers bloom in spring and summer, by autumn they have withered and seeded, their power difficult to manifest. They must break through the soil in autumn, grow stems in winter, and wait for the warmth of spring next year to bloom.
"So... smelling the scent of smile flowers here now can only mean that someone left the flower poison intentionally."
After these words were spoken, the Sihai Dragon Heads were greatly impressed.
"Miss Situ is well-educated, much better than some bookworm, I am impressed."
Cen Beihuan clasped his fist in salute.
Wen Qi twirled his Judge’s Pen, glared at Cen Beihuan:
"How did I provoke you?"
Little Situ couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this and whispered:
"It’s nothing... I have known the Medical Scripture and Poison Manual by heart since childhood.
"When I was eight, spent a month with my eyes covered to discern all kinds of poisons in the world.
"It was my elders at home who suffered."
Zhou Su found this strange upon hearing:
"Covering your eyes and letting you discern poisons, how did it trouble your elders at home?"
"Because since childhood, I’ve had an ailment in my legs and couldn’t move.
"So during that month’s time, my elders took turns looking for poisons for me to discern, I sat perfectly still, while they ran their legs off."
Little Situ smiled slightly at this point, instinctively glanced at Su Mo.
The Sihai Dragon Heads couldn’t help but take a look at Little Situ’s legs after hearing this.
But couldn’t find anything wrong.
"Thanks to Brother Su, who risked himself for me, only then did I have the chance to stand up again."
Little Situ noticed their doubts and quickly spoke up.
The Sihai Dragon Heads suddenly realized.
Only then they understood why despite having a wife, their Hall Master allowed this Miss Situ to secretly have feelings for him.
Turns out there are so many deep connections.
They exchanged a glance, their attitude becoming increasingly respectful.
Not to mention Little Situ’s own skills which make them admire her, but the relationship with Su Mo, who knows when they might gain another Hall Master’s Wife.
How could they dare be negligent?
While they were talking, their steps didn’t stop.
At this moment, Su Mo suddenly halted, couldn’t help but ask:
"I say... do any of you recognize arrays?"
Yang Xiaoyun blinked her eyes, Zhen Xiaoxiao waved the One-legged copper man, Little Situ remained silent.
Yang Xiaoyun is good at fighting, Zhen Xiaoxiao is good at demolishing houses, Little Situ is good at poison.
There’s not one who’s good at arrays.
However, Wen Qi stepped forward:
"Subordinate has some knowledge."
"Then can’t you tell... we’ve been trapped by this array right now?"
Su Mo looked at Wen Qi helplessly.
Wen Qi was stunned, quickly looked around:
"Oh my, oh my, just now was amazed by Second Madam’s skills... didn’t notice this, Wen Qi deserves to die."
"You really do deserve to die."
Su Mo’s face twitched.
Wen Qi was startled, he said he deserves to die, was both guilt and a statement.
Unexpectedly Su Mo really said he deserves to die.
Immediately knelt down, filled with fear:
"Hall Master, please forgive."
Su Mo glared at Wen Qi, sneaked a glance at Little Situ, then sighed:
"Stand up, I’ll spare you from dying.
"But if you can’t see the mystery of this array, then you won’t be able to escape punishment."
"Thank you Hall Master for sparing me."
Wen Qi breathed a big sigh of relief, felt Su Mo might just be saying it.
After all, if he sees through this array, he won’t really die.
Just don’t understand, how did he offend Su Mo?
That made him so furious?
But now he didn’t dare say more, carefully observed the array, then looked at the ground, suddenly flew up, and took a section of tree branch.
He applied force with his palms to break it into pieces.
Holding all the tree branches in his palm, he flicked his hand and threw a piece out.
Observed a bit, then nodded slightly.
Immediately followed eight directions to throw the branches.
Moments later, he suddenly realized:
"Hall Master, what trapped us is an array based on the Eight Diagrams.
"The person who set the array probably just doesn’t want to be disturbed.
"So, it’s mainly aimed at trapping people.
"Besides..."
At this point in his words, he suddenly realized, understood why Su Mo wanted to punish him just now.
Second Madam was merely a thought in his mind.
Unexpectedly blurted out, and almost said it twice.
Now the Hall Master and Little Situ obviously haven’t gotten married, with him speaking like this, naturally the Hall Master wasn’t willing.
Moreover... the First Madam was right in front of him.
Speaking like this, how could the First Madam be pleased?
After thinking now, true it’s a matter of life and death!
Hall Master saying this even saved his life.
After all, it’s not scary to offend the Hall Master, but offending the Hall Master’s wife is really a path to death!
His heart was full of gratitude for a moment.
Immediately swallowed the words ’Madam’:
"Besides, the smile flower Miss Situ mentioned, it’s likely the people living here don’t want anyone disturbing the island."
"I see."
Su Mo nodded: "Since you’ve cleared the truth of this array, can you guide us to find the way?"
"That’s naturally not difficult."
Wen Qi heard this, immediately smiled, stood up:
"Please Hall Master follow me."
As he spoke, he led the way ahead.
Only then did Su Mo and others follow.
Little Situ silently walked behind Su Mo, feeling somewhat sad.
But felt warmth in her palm, startled, then looked up to see Yang Xiaoyun.
She gently squeezed Little Situ’s hand, making Little Situ blush and instinctively lowered her head again.
Yang Xiaoyun sighed softly, couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo’s back, muttered: "Idiot."
"Ah?"
Su Mo heard her voice, but didn’t understand, couldn’t help but glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.
"Nothing."
Yang Xiaoyun shook her head, pulled Little Situ, didn’t want to pay him any mind.
"???"
Su Mo couldn’t help but feel perplexed.
With Wen Qi leading, the road indeed didn’t seem complicated, moving forward for a moment, then saw someone leaning against a tree, meditating.
Upon hearing footsteps, hurriedly opened eyes, casually grabbed a weapon beside him, stood up to fight.
Raised his eyes to see Su Mo and others, unexpectedly stunned, softened his feet and fell to the ground with a thud:
"Hall Master!!"
