Novel Full Chapter 1511 - 569: Entering the Island (Part 3)
As for the five hundred disciples of the Li Clan, their fierce reputation is well-known.
According to Leng Wushuang, they must indeed be treated as formidable foes.
He immediately smiled and said:
"In that case, since Lord Leng invites us, we wouldn’t dare disrespect."
"That’s good to hear."
Leng Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, extended his arm and gestured:
"Please follow me, there is another array set up within these woods. Please follow my steps and don’t wander aimlessly."
"Naturally."
Su Mo nodded, then gave Yang Xiaoyun and the Sihai Dragon Heads a look.
Everyone followed behind Leng Wushuang, heading towards the island’s interior.
With the island’s host leading the way, the pace quickened substantially.
Even so, it took some time before they emerged from the forest.
Once out of the woods, their view suddenly expanded.
What met their eyes were tiered terraces descending layer by layer, covering a considerable area.
At the very bottom lay a flat area.
A large manor was situated there.
It was late autumn, a time of harvest, and the fields were filled with people working, all dressed in green.
Su Mo glanced over these people, his eyebrows raising slightly.
Just then, Yang Xiaoyun’s voice came to his ear:
"Each one knows martial arts; they shouldn’t be underestimated."
Su Mo nodded, used voice transmission to warn everyone to be careful, while saying with a smile:
"Lord Leng, your island is truly full of talents."
Leng Wushuang smiled slightly:
"Our esteemed guest jests; we have lived here for generations, unaware of the vastness of Earth.
"What talent could there be? We simply wish for peaceful lives, enjoying a simple meal and drink in tranquility."
Su Mo asked a few more questions.
Only to find out that all the people on the island bore the surname Leng.
Their ancestors moved here to avoid chaos.
Tracing back the years, it was at the time of the Da Xuan’s downfall and the chaos in Nanhai.
They arrived then, sealing the island with a maze and refusing visitors.
Initially, it wasn’t only those with the Leng surname on the island.
But because those who came were homeless, starving individuals, the leading Leng ancestor assisted them, allowing them to survive.
Most abandoned their original surnames, passing down the Leng name.
Over time, everyone here bore the Leng name.
The manor was also called Leng Family Manor.
Su Mo and his group entered the manor, continuing onward, observing the people who tried to appear indifferent.
However, they were clearly very attentive to Su Mo’s group’s visit.
Busy with their hands, but their eyes couldn’t stray from Su Mo’s group.
In the center of the manor was Leng Wushuang’s home.
Led by him, they ascended into the house.
Inside the hall, guests and host took their seats.
Leng Wushuang finally asked:
"We are secluded and unaware of worldly changes. Has the Da Xuan Dynasty been restored?"
"The Da Xuan Dynasty has been extinct for many years and there is no longer any possibility of its restoration."
Su Mo smiled slightly:
"Nowadays, the Tianxia martial jianghu is in turmoil, with lords carving out territories.
"The vast Nanhai is also divided into three parts.
"However, their rule remains peaceful."
"I see..."
Leng Wushuang was momentarily dazed: "The Da Xuan Dynasty was once so mighty, yet now it has fallen to such a state. It’s quite lamentable when you think about it.
"But I wonder about these three factions in Nanhai?"
"They are three large Jianghu Forces."
Su Mo glanced at Leng Wushuang: "Does Lord Leng intend to lead your clan to re-enter Nanhai?"
"Alas..."
Leng Wushuang sighed:
"The disputes of old were too chaotic. For the sake of our descendants, we had to go into seclusion.
"Now that the world is no longer in such chaos, there is indeed the plan to re-enter society.
"But we have been cut off from the world for so long, and don’t know if there is still a place in Nanhai for us."
"The vast Nanhai, with its countless islands, if Lord Leng wishes, can develop an uninhabited island, rejuvenating.
"Establishing relations with other large islands, you could surely return to this mundane world."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Hearing this, Leng Wushuang was overjoyed, and earnestly inquired about the general situation in Nanhai.
He spoke sincerely, not fake.
Yet his capture of those Nanhai experts and Su Mo’s Li Clan subordinates was not mentioned.
Whether it was due to eagerness when discussing Nanhai, or intentional, was unclear.
Su Mo was in no rush, casually chatting, and they unexpectedly had a pleasant conversation.
After a while, just as Leng Wushuang inquired about the Medical Saint of Nanhai, an exclamation suddenly came from the back hall.
Followed by sounds of shattering.
Leng Wushuang’s face changed, and he quickly stood up, cupping his hands:
"Esteemed guests, please wait a moment; forgive my absence."
He hurriedly departed.
The few exchanged glances, and Xiao He spoke softly:
"This Leng’s evasive talk, Hall Master, may I go investigate?"
Su Mo lightly nodded.
Xiao He immediately stood up and asked the servant at the door:
"Where is the latrine?"
Wen Qi rolled his eyes at him: "How crude..."
"What else should I say?"
Cen Beihuan asked.
"..."
Wen Qi was stunned, thinking that latrine or lavatory were not all that different.
Just as he didn’t know how to respond, he heard Su Mo say softly:
"A place of five grains’ cycling."
Wen Qi’s eyes instantly widened:
"Brilliant, Hall Master."
"..."
It was just an old joke; Su Mo wasn’t particularly pleased with the praise.
Xiao He left, and it wasn’t long before Leng Wushuang returned, glancing around the hall and was taken aback:
"A guest seems to be missing?"
"He has been suffering from indigestion, unable to relieve it for some time.
"He couldn’t hold it in at this moment, and now likely resides for a long time in the place of five grains’ cycling. I ask for the Island Master’s understanding."
Wen Qi shook his head, smiling.
Leng Wushuang: "???"
The interruption almost made him forget what he wanted to say.
Su Mo then asked smoothly:
"Lord Leng, did something happen in the hall?"
"Alas... I won’t hide it."
Leng Wushuang sighed: "My daughter is gravely ill, beyond the help of medicine... I only mentioned Nanhai because I was considering leaving to seek a renowned doctor for treatment."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Can you tell me what ailment afflicts your daughter?"
...

Ps: It’s the end of the month, and I almost forgot to ask for a monthly ticket. If anyone still has one, please throw it to Chun Jie~~
