Chapter 445: Chapter 216 September 9th_2
It would take ten years of hard effort to cleverly and courageously compete with Duan Song.
Su Mo found this particular section especially amusing, occasionally bursting into loud laughter.
The result was an unexpected visitor…
Just as he was engrossed in reading, someone pushed open the window from the outside, and Wei Ziyi had a dark expression on her face:
“What are you laughing at?”
Su Mo was momentarily taken aback and glanced at Wei Ziyi: “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“… How can anyone sleep with you laughing like a ghost in the middle of the night?”
Wei Ziyi said as she climbed in through the window.
“… People always say that highly skilled martial artists like to avoid using the main door.
“But your window-climbing skill is rather lacking in grace.”
The corner of Su Mo’s mouth twitched.
“Mind your own business.”
After she landed, Wei Ziyi glanced at Su Mo: “Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you doing here?”
“Looking at some notes.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “Do you want to take a look?”
“Whose notes?”
As she asked, she moved closer to Su Mo.
“My father’s.”
Su Mo said with a smile: “The grudges and romances recorded here are even more thrilling than Jianghu.”
“Really?”
Wei Ziyi was somewhat dubious.
Su Mo simply showed her the content he had read before, and Wei Ziyi instantly became engrossed in it.
After a moment, she laughed heartily: “I never expected Old Su, the Chief of the Escort, to be so mischievous in his youth. But Senior Duan seems rather dull in his depiction; is there some intentional bias here?”
Su Mo recalled how Duan Song was tricked by Su Tianyang’s words, ’kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and the mechanism will reveal itself,.’ and truly knelt and kowtowed in front of the bed.
He shook his head firmly: “Master Duan is really that simple.”
“This…”
Wei Ziyi paused for a moment: “That doesn’t seem right. Although your master treats him without much courtesy, Senior Duan’s reputation is well-known, and he is not an ordinary person. He is serene and generous and can stay calm in any situation…”
“Do you think… there might be a possibility that because he suffered greatly in his childhood, no technique seems significant to him anymore?”
“Now that you mention it, it does seem quite reasonable.”
Wei Ziyi was half in tears and laughter: “That’s indeed unexpected.”
Su Mo smiled, flipped through the notes casually, and slightly raised his eyebrows, then pushed the notes forward.
He said to Wei Ziyi: “What are you thinking about, staying up so late in the night?”
“…”
Wei Ziyi pursed her lips: “With your discerning mind, you truly are extremely clever. I’m afraid nothing in my heart can be concealed from you. Why don’t you tell me?”
“The letter that the Third Palace Master gave to Senior Duan?”
“Um…”
Wei Ziyi glanced at Su Mo: “I didn’t think much of it before, but after stepping out this time, I found that everyone around seems to want to push me at you…
“The letter from the master is clearly full of mischief.
“Senior Duan was sneakily observing our reactions while reading the letter.
“What could the letter possibly be about?
“I have an uneasy premonition.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo smiled: “When did Miss Wei learn the Divine Ghost Technique? Can you now predict fortune as well?”
“… Don’t start with me.”
Wei Ziyi glared at him: “Honestly, I don’t really care, as I don’t yearn for any man in my heart. Nor have I been betrothed since young. Marriage is the word of parents and matchmaking, and both my ancestor and master think highly of you. You indeed are a talented individual with high martial skill.
“From all aspects, I have no reason to refuse.
“Hasn’t it always been you who’s been declining?”
“This…”
Su Mo found himself at a loss for words, and he could only sigh:
“We cannot stop others from thinking and acting the way they want. The only thing we can control is ourselves.
“Regardless of what your master or Alliance Leader Wei decides, or what the Third Palace Master’s letter says…
“As long as we are not swayed, it really won’t have any effect.”
Wei Ziyi raised her eyebrows and said: “I’m just worried that the master might meddle further…”
At this point, Su Mo suddenly extended a finger and made a gesture for silence.
The next moment, he blew out the candle, and the study was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Wei Ziyi’s heart jumped, the night was deep, and they were alone together.
With the candlelight bright before, it still didn’t feel a certain way, but Su Mo suddenly extinguishing the candle caused much distress.
For a moment, Wei Ziyi felt her heart pounding like a drum.
Amidst her panic, Su Mo’s voice rang in her ear:
“Someone is coming.”
Wei Ziyi abruptly heard the voice, her instinct was to tense up, clenching her fists.
However, having heard Su Mo’s words clearly, she was puzzled: “Huh?”
After a moment of contemplation, she saw Su Mo already at the window, beckoning to her.
Wei Ziyi let out a long sigh of relief, and looking at Su Mo’s back, she couldn’t help but see him in a different light.
She carefully approached Su Mo’s side and peeked out the window stealthily.
In no time at all, she saw a black-clad man soar onto the roof and then leap down.
After landing firmly, he swept a glance at Su Mo’s room door, then hesitated in front of Wei Ziyi’s room door.
