Novel Full Chapter 1510 - 569: Entering the Island (2)
"This is ridiculous."
Wen Qi was somewhat annoyed again.
He felt that the person in front of him was pretending to be a god, speaking deceptively, and wanted to take a step forward to show him the Sihai Dragon Heads’ means.
Su Mo, however, gently waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
Then he smiled and said:
"Leng Yan, brother, where did this talk come from?
"We only happened to come across this island today, thinking it was uninhabited, and thus entered rashly.
"Our original intention was merely to hunt some game on the island and find some fresh water for the ship’s supplies.
"After all, this place is deep sea, and it’s difficult to find land.
"Beyond here, it’s hard to say if there are any supplies, so upon finding this island, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
"Yet unexpectedly, there were still people on the island.
"This led to some minor collisions.
"Brother Leng Yan just mentioned that the Island Master here did not harm any of our people at all.
"Therefore, we have no hostility towards you.
"So, Brother Leng Yan, it’s not appropriate for us to intrude into the important areas of the island.
"Could I trouble you to enter the island and talk things over with the Island Master?
"If he releases our people, we’ll leave immediately and won’t stay here.
"Conversely, if the Island Master is unwilling, he can come here personally, and I’ll reason with him.
"Anyway, we can avoid entering the island, hoping for a peaceful resolution to prevent unnecessary conflict."
After listening, Leng Yan hesitated slightly:
"Well... you all wait here, and do not act rashly."
"That’s natural."
Su Mo smiled, "I give my word, and I will not go back on it."
"Alright then..."
Leng Yan nodded: "The Island Master doesn’t want to tangle with you all. Since that’s the case, I will go inform him..."
"Thank you."
Su Mo slightly bowed his fists.
Leng Yan mimicked him, bowed his fists, and then turned away.
The Sihai Dragon Heads glanced at each other, Xiao He whispered:
"Hall Master, are we really just going to wait here?"
"Yes."
Su Mo nodded slightly, signaling to everyone:
"There are still some of their people around, but not many, so likely no important figures.
"At this moment, avoiding conflict is preferable if possible.
"After all, quite a few of our people are in their hands.
"Even if a conflict really has to occur, it should be at the right time.
"Let Leng Yan go to deliver the message; if important figures indeed come, if conflict arises, holding them would be useful to restrain the opponent.
"Otherwise, we would still be controlled by others."
Everyone suddenly understood.
They couldn’t help but marvel at how Su Mo was indeed cunning and strategic.
His young age belies such a seasoned and strategic mind.
Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo.
She thought that Wei Ziyi’s nickname for him, ’Evil Su,’ was indeed apt.
With these words, everyone settled down to wait.
Anyway, there’s the antidote pill for the smile flower poison from Little Situ.
Wen Qi can break through the array.
When it comes to it, there are still guides around, available in abundance.
If they bring someone in power, and a conflict does arise, having them in hand would naturally be more convenient.
If not... whether Wen Qi leads them to force their way in, or capturing a ’guide,’ they could storm the island and rescue those people.
Overall, the planning was clear; it was just a matter of waiting to see what happens next.
Thus waiting, it was nearly an hour.
The Sihai Dragon Heads were growing impatient, yet Su Mo’s tranquil meditation akin to an old monk comforted them.
Otherwise, they might have started killing.
Zhen Xiaoxiao leaned against a tree, nodding off repeatedly, clearly extremely tired.
There wasn’t much to eat here to snack on; with nothing to do, it only made him want to sleep.
Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, and Little Situ sat quietly in meditation.
Finally, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes.
He looked up.
He saw a group approaching slowly, headed by a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown and dressed in blue, with a jade pendant hanging on one side of his waist and a treasure sword on the other.
His features were dignified and his appearance respectful.
Male and female companions accompanied him, among them was the Leng Yan who had left earlier.
Upon seeing this group appear, Su Mo led his people to rise.
Slightly bowed his fists:
"Apologies for the offenses caused by my people passing through this island, and I ask for your forgiveness.
"May I know your exalted surname, esteemed name?
"If you graciously release our brothers this time, there will be rewards in the future."
"No need."
The leader slightly bowed his fists:
"I am Leng Wushuang, the Island Master of this island.
"I’ve heard from Leng Yan about previous events... it seems to have been a misunderstanding."
"Well... the people captured earlier are now guests on the island.
"They are affected by flower poison and cannot wake up for a while.
"If you’re not busy, would you like to enter the island for a while?
"I’ve prepared some tea as an apology."
"Certainly."
Su Mo smiled slightly:
"I just hope it won’t be too much of an imposition?"
Leng Wushuang gently shook his head:
"Although there is indeed some disturbance, you are also rare and distinguished guests.
"As long as there’s no harm, we do not refuse the company of friends.
"The people who came earlier looked fierce and suspicious, which led us to act strongly.
"Later, with more people, it scared the island disciples, making them more cautious.
"It’s also considered our offense."
"I see."
Su Mo couldn’t help but smile, as the many experts in Nanhai indeed looked difficult to deal with.
