Chapter 1873 - 685: Leisure Pavilion_2

"In my opinion, why can’t the Third Shock just die?

"This person lacks morals, maybe even heaven can’t stand it and decided to take him away to prevent him from causing more harm on Earth."

"You might as well just trick your own heels with that talk."

Su Mo waved his hand:

"There’s still a bit of time before night falls, you should go back and rest for a while.

"I’ll come to find you in the evening."

Jiang Lan nodded and had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Now, the room only had Su Mo, Wei Ziyi, and Xiao Xiao left in it.

Xiao Xiao had a good meal today, so now he’s somewhat sleepy.

He sat on the chair, yawning continuously.

Wei Ziyi poured another cup of tea for Su Mo:

"It feels like your mind is rather chaotic, doesn’t it?"

"Even you can see it?"

Su Mo looked up at Wei Ziyi.

Wei Ziyi was furious:

"What do you mean ’even I can see it’?"

Intending to have a little playful teasing with Su Mo, but seeing he’s truly not in the mood, he simply said:

"Are you unsure of Dongmen Yong’s motives?"

"Ever since entering Xizhou, no... I should say ever since meeting the Longmen Jing Emperor of Jinglong Association in Nanhai.

"Dongmen Yong has been like a ghost, lingering around constantly.

"If it weren’t for the Sixth Shock still carrying a piece of information left by him, I wouldn’t even know that sending the Sixth Shock to the Martial God Temple was also his prompting.

"After arriving in Xizhou, every encounter seems to be somehow related to this person.

"Yet, whatever actions he takes don’t seem to harm us in any way.

"Rather, he facilitates outcomes.

"Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to easily establish the Jianghu Alliance.

"Upon arriving at this deep-in-the-clouds place, it’s actually part of his arrangement.

"Except, I assume he didn’t know when I would come.

"But no matter when, his ’peaceful end’ is likely part of his plan.

"What I didn’t expect is that he even managed to keep the Fifth Shock unaware.

"Could he truly be hiding from the First Shock too?

"If he deceived all the Jing Emperors... What exactly is his true purpose?"

Wei Ziyi listened to this and dared not speak casually.

Knowing Su Mo is currently bewildered, speaking without care might lead him astray.

He simply glanced at Su Mo, then said softly:

"Don’t you already have an answer in your heart?"

"..."

Su Mo shook his head:

"No...

"If it’s to lure me into his trap.

"Then there’s no need to hide from the other Jing Emperors.

"Nor expend such efforts."

"Most crucially... on Imperial Court Mountain, he transformed into the Sect Leader of the Qianji Sect.

"When I was being led to Bai Mi Peak, he actually had the chance to make his move on you all.

"Once you were put in danger, I’d surely be rendered powerless.

"This great opportunity, he absolutely couldn’t have missed it.

"But he did nothing, simply departing quietly.

"If he didn’t act then, going in such a large circle now seems totally unnecessary?

"Yet, if it is true that he bears unyielding enmity with Jinglong Association.

"And wants to use tomorrow’s events to annihilate Jinglong Association, I find it hard to believe.

"Unless, he is indeed aligned with the Imperial Dao.

"And speaking of it... I now suspect more than ever that the reason the Taoist Master of Imperial Dao would come personally to Xizhou might also be related to him.

"On Bai Mi Peak, he made someone tell me to be wary of Imperial Dao.

"Possibly leaving this as a warning.

"But if he aligns with Imperial Dao, why would he warn me?

"Every action he takes seems to resonate with us.

"Or intentionally facilitate...

"Yet, I always feel that this person absolutely cannot be on the same path as us.

"What exactly does he want to do?

"To which side does he belong?

"Is he dead or alive?

"Tomorrow... what does he plan to do?

"I truly don’t have the confidence in my heart."

"Then don’t think about it anymore."

Wei Ziyi grabbed Su Mo’s hand and placed it on his leg.

Patted lightly:

"Don’t let your thoughts run wild, anyhow your martial arts are strong.

"No matter what the motive or conspiracy, tomorrow everything will be revealed.

"Then you show them what One Force Subdues Ten Skills means!!

"Right now, the most important thing is to quickly set up your Water Soul Formation.

"Let Jinglong Association’s disciples have a go first then.

"And let’s see the quality of these Jing Emperors."

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded, though he felt One Force Subdues Ten Skills was not the ultimate solution.

At this moment, there was no other option.

Only with fists can the dense fog be shattered, and the true understanding be revealed.

If further mysteries unfold, they will have to be addressed later:

"Everything will wait for tonight."

...

...

Nightfall came swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already deep into the night.

Jiang Lan sat cross-legged on the bed, suddenly there was a shadow appearing before him.

He raised his head, not bothering to discern who it was, he uttered an ’hey,’ and the next moment, both figures disappeared from the room.

Confusedly, Jiang Lan’s hand now held an item.

It was precisely an iron shovel.

He moved forward through the fog, unable to say a word, until he halted and looked up to see a fenced yard ahead.

Above the gate hung a wooden plaque casually, inscribed with the words: Leisure Pavilion.
