Chapter 1919 - 700: Taoist Master (Part 3)

"Do you think this is possible?"

"That’s hard to say."

Little Situ thought for a moment and said:

"There are many strange medicinal properties in this world.

"I know of a miracle item, if you take one, no matter what kind of injury or poison you have, it can immediately heal you.

"But at the same time, it puts a person in a state of suspended animation.

"If there’s no second one to awaken the person, they will never wake up again..."

Su Mo felt this sounded familiar and couldn’t help but ask:

"Are you talking about something called Natural Fragrant Cardamom?"

"Huh?"

Little Situ shook his head:

"What is Natural Fragrant Cardamom?"

"It’s nothing."

Su Mo waved his hand.

Wei Ziyi smirked and said:

"If something like that actually exists and there’s only one, that’s tragic indeed.

"Saving someone only to have them be like they’re dead is no different.

"Unless you find a second one..."

"That’s the situation as it stands."

Little Situ said:

"I don’t know what Dongmen Yong gave... to Uncle Su as a life-saving elixir.

"I’m not afraid of other things if they’re ordinary, common injuries.

"No matter how tricky or strange, I’m confident I can handle it.

"I just worry that Dongmen Yong gave Uncle Su something bizarre that requires a specific item to resolve.

"That means we must open Da Xuan’s Armory to have a chance of saving him."

Su Mo nodded:

"Therefore, the journey to Beichuan is imperative.

"When the time comes, Little Situ, I need you to carefully examine it for me."

"Of course."

Little Situ repeatedly nodded.

At this moment, Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun:

"I haven’t met Lord Father-in-law since returning from this trip."

"Father hasn’t returned for now.

"But I estimate he will be back tonight or early tomorrow."

Yang Xiaoyun said.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded and, after a slight pause, said:

"Let’s not tell Lord Father-in-law about this matter."

Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback.

Then she understood Su Mo’s meaning.

After all, Yang Yizhi is quite old.

The specifics of the journey to Beichuan are still unknown.

In such circumstances, it’s indeed not wise to have him take risks.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyun said:

"Then you need to give an explanation for this trip to Beichuan."

Su Mo thought for a moment and said:

"I’ll say I’ve accepted an escort mission.

"I need to go to Beichuan.

"My Lady, you should not accompany me on this trip.

"Firstly, you are with child, and secondly, you cannot ignore the affairs of the Jianghu Alliance.

"Thirdly... with you here, Lord Father-in-law can be at ease.

"If everything goes smoothly, after I return from Beichuan, we can have a family reunion.

"But if things do not go smoothly, everything will have to be delayed for a while."

"I understand..."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded:

"Today, I observed the Taoist Master was forcing you to express a stance."

"This is something I overlooked."

At this point, Su Mo looked a little strange:

"I didn’t expect him to dare perform such a scene in front of everyone.

"It’s as if he doesn’t care about face anymore."

"The higher someone’s position, the less they care about face."

Wei Ziyi nodded repeatedly:

"Like you."

"..."

Su Mo couldn’t be bothered to respond to her: "During today’s meeting, although he didn’t state it explicitly, it was obvious that he wanted to use this opportunity to push me into that position.

"As long as I showed any wavering attitude today, in the future, whether at Nanhai or the Jianghu Alliance,

"there would be subtle changes.

"You all have said before that I need to think more...

"I’ve always avoided it when I could.

"But now, I’m afraid we’re at a point where it can’t be ignored.

"This situation... is urgent."

"What do you really think?"

Yang Xiaoyun took Su Mo’s hand and placed it on her knee:

"No matter what you decide, it’s okay...

"If you want to become the Human Emperor,

"I will wholeheartedly support you.

"If you don’t want to bear this heavy burden,

"then we’ll let go of everything and wander the Jianghu."

"Exactly."

Wei Ziyi nodded:

"Evil Su, you are the backbone of the Jianghu Alliance and Nanhai.

"You are indeed their leader.

"But don’t forget...

"We also revolve around you.

"To us... you are more than just our backbone.

"You are our life.

"No matter what you do, we will support you.

"However, ultimately a decision must be made, no wavering."

She said this with courage.

While speaking, she sneaked a glance at Yang Xiaoyun.

Seeing no displeasure on her face, she was relieved.

When she came back to her senses, her face was already flushed.

Little Situ looked at Wei Ziyi, utterly speechless.

She thought, since when did she become so bold?

But after looking at Su Mo, she couldn’t help but speak:

"I think so too...

"Brother Su, you can do whatever you want.

"You can become whoever you want, it doesn’t matter.

"As long as you are still you... as long as it’s your true desire."

Su Mo couldn’t help but smile gently at their words:

"Thank you all...

"I do have a vague idea in mind now.

"Once it fully forms, I’ll discuss it with you."

"Alright."

Yang Xiaoyun gently rubbed Su Mo’s furrowed brow:

"No matter which path the future takes, I hope you won’t always be so troubled.

"May you enjoy a few days of peace.

"Chat with me, banter with Ziyi, test medicine with Little Situ.

"Watch Xiao Xiao eat, walk the White Tiger, and lead the Messenger Eagle to catch rabbits.

"Since setting foot in Nanhai, you’ve always worked too hard."

Su Mo laughed quietly:

"Once this last matter is settled.

"I imagine we can then enjoy such leisure days."
