Chapter 495: Chapter 232 Rain Cold Valley_3
“Although this method of saving people is indeed useful.
“However, Su, the Chief of the Escort, is after all a man, if…”
Another one shook their head, “Su, the Chief of the Escort, is a man of integrity and righteousness; he would never take advantage of someone in peril.”
“Su, the Chief of the Escort’s character can certainly be trusted.
“Yet this method requires slapping various acupoints around the body, skin-to-skin contact…
“If, if Su, the Chief of the Escort cannot resist, and ends up not restraining himself…”
“There’s nothing that can be done about that, and moreover to execute this method, one must restore her original appearance; otherwise, the acupoints will not align, which will only cause trouble.”
“This…”
The young ladies were looking at each other, all of them sighed simultaneously:
“At this point, we can only trust Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“And besides, this is her choice… if she does not wish it, preferring death, then our consent is useless anyway.”
“That’s true too…”
Another young lady sighed, “When we left Xuanhu Pavilion, to prevent any accidents, she was disguised as a man with the Reverse Element Five Elements Needle.
“It’s not that we wanted to stop anything; we just wanted her to see more.
“But we didn’t expect the accident to come this quickly…”
The young ladies muttered under their breath, Wan Cangxin kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, his mouth on his mind, pretending not to hear.
Time ticked by, and inside the cave, there was sometimes silence, sometimes the sound of slapping.
Intermittently, about half an hour passed before it finally quieted down.
The four young ladies immediately fell silent, Wan Cangxin instinctively looked up at the entrance of the cave; the footsteps were heard, and out walked Su Mo.
“That quick?”
The four young ladies exclaimed in unison.
“…”
Su Mo opened his mouth and felt there was a huge problem with this remark.
However, pointing out the problem would mean he had a big problem himself.
It felt somewhat like a mute suffering a bitter pill.
He could only say, “She’s fine now.”
“Thank you, Su, the Chief of the Escort.”
The young ladies immediately rushed into the cave and saw Little Situ leaning against the soft sedan chair, clothes intact but her complexion rosy and delicate.
Seeing them coming in, she said weakly:
“Several sisters…”
“Sir, you…”
The people looked at Little Situ, then looked outside the cave, one young lady, making faces, asked:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort… he, he… didn’t, right?”
Little Situ hastened to shake her head.
The four young ladies finally breathed a sigh of relief, one of them came forward to check her pulse, and moments later they too breathed a sigh of relief:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort is indeed profound in Inner Strength, his Pure Yang Inner Power is extraordinary.
“In just a short time, the fire poison within your body has already been completely expelled.”
Little Situ also nodded: “Fetch two Jingxu Pills.”
“Yes.”
A young lady nodded, took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, and poured out two pills for Little Situ.
Little Situ swallowed them and finally took a long breath.
Turning around, she saw Su Mo and Wan Cangxin had come in.
When their eyes met with Su Mo, the expression was somewhat awkward.
Although it was a decision made in a desperate situation, driven by an urgency to save a life, it still could not be regarded as if nothing had happened.
Seeing each other now, it was naturally hard to avoid feeling a bit shy.
And what had just transpired, though it had been to save a person, was still too much.
This also made Su Mo sigh heavily in his heart, momentarily at a loss as to how to handle the situation properly.
However, at this moment, he could not dwell on these many things; Su Mo slightly composed himself and asked,
“What kind of Array did the Evil People of the Jile Heavenly Palace set up in Jifen Mountain?
“Where are Master Hongyun and the others now in Jifen Mountain?
“We might not have known about this matter before, but now that we do, we can’t just ignore it.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Little Situ said hastily.
Su Mo instinctively shook his head: “You’ve just been rid of the fire poison, and your Yin and Yang have just balanced out, yet your body’s deficiency is no less than recovering from a serious illness. It’s a heavy rain tonight; you better rest here.”
“It’s okay.”
Little Situ shook her head, “I have just taken Jingxu Pills, which with Inner Strength can restore the deficiency. Su, the Chief of the Escort, does not seem skilled in Arrays, moreover, people from Nirvana Palace are adept with poison…”
At this juncture, her face turned slightly red.
Paused for a moment, then he said, “If we go with you, there will be more assurance.”
Su Mo hesitated briefly, unconsciously glancing at the four girls beside Little Situ.
The four girls immediately nodded, “The young master is right; let’s go together.”
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, is a righteous gentleman. How could we simply stand by, watching you danger yourself in this cave?”
“That’s right.”
The girls nodded together, which rendered Su Mo speechless.
He could only nod and say, “In that case… let us depart.”
Wan Cangxin then looked at Su Mo:
“Do we need to make a trip back to Tianqu City to inform them?”
“No need.”
Su Mo shook his head slightly, “They’ve already left Tianqu City by now.”
“Uh?”
Surprised by the response, Wan Cangxin immediately asked, “Where did they go?”
Su Mo pondered briefly and uttered three words:
“Rain Cold Valley.”
…
…
Rain Cold Valley!
Torrential rain washed over the city, and atop the city walls, one man stood with his hands behind his back.
Amidst this heavy downpour, he stood like a tall mountain, unshakable!
His gaze was fixed in the direction of Chimei Forest.
From afar, the continuous and chilling Ghost Forest seemed like a devil entrenched between heaven and earth, emanating a chilling aura.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him, speaking softly:
“Brother.”
The person turned, revealing a middle-aged man.
His gaze was profound, and in every move, there exuded an inviolable majesty.
Duan Song!
When Su Mo and Wei Ziyi left the Ziyang Sect, Wei Ziyi had once asked Su Mo why Duan Song didn’t go to Tianqu City.
At the time, Su Mo said that he had other destinations.
And that destination was Rain Cold Valley.
“How are things?”
He asked softly.
“Everything is ready.”
The speaker was Duan Song’s disciple, also a disciple of the thirty-first generation of Ziyang Sect.
Lu Yuan.
He obeyed the sect’s decrees, and since reclaiming Rain Cold Valley, he stayed there, coordinating the defense of this place.
He inevitably asked softly:
“This time the situation is no small matter; are we sure?”
“Do you trust Su Tianyang?”
Duan Song glanced back at Chimei Forest, suddenly asking an apparently unrelated question.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile, “Brother Su is a genius unseen in ages. As a fellow traveler of Jianghu, I’ve never seen such a person.
“If it’s him, even if he pointed to a mountain of swords or a sea of fire and told me it’s smooth sailing, I would believe without a doubt.”
“If you believe his words, you can trust Su Mo.”
“Um… I’ve always heard you talk about him, but I’ve never met him. I really want to see him.”
Lu Yuan sighed, but then he turned to Duan Song, “But brother, things here are almost settled now, we just need to wait.
“What are you still worried about?”
“I’m worried…”
Duan Song started speaking but then irritably waved his hand, “Forget it, you’re not even married yet, you wouldn’t understand.”
“… You talk as if you’re married.”
Lu Yuan immediately retorted.
But then he saw Duan Song’s expression suddenly change, looking past Lu Yuan, “The Youquan Sect Master!?”
“What?”
Lu Yuan was shocked, hurriedly turning around.
However, there was nothing behind him, and he suddenly realized he had been fooled by Duan Song.
Sure enough, he saw Duan Song behind him, his face fierce, lifting his foot to kick:
“I told you to stop talking nonsense!”
