Chapter 630: Chapter 277 Emperor Heart Technique_3
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances before Su Mo finally spoke:
“The High Priest flatters me. Truthfully, regarding the object I carry, whether it is Xinghai Relic Sand Iron or not, there are still two possibilities.
“And even if it was indeed the case, I, Su, would not take the liberty to take it out and give it to you…
“I run an escort agency, and my livelihood depends on honesty.
“I hope the High Priest will not take offense at this.”
“By no means, by no means.”
The High Priest quickly waved her hand: “As long as Lord Su does not blame the White Tiger Clan for the Chief Steward’s actions, how could I dare to have other expectations?”
As she said this, she looked up at the starry sky:
“My White Tiger Clan has existed for endless years, and the Holy Artifact has always been passed down.
“However, there is no feast that doesn’t come to an end, and perhaps the time has come for everything to disperse…
“Such is the will of the times…”
She said this with a light smile: “Lord Su, take care. I bid you goodbye.”
“Please.”
Su Mo stood up and cupped his fists in a salute, and Yang Xiaoyun and the others also stood up.
After the High Priest said farewell to everyone, she then turned and left, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
But as the High Priest’s figure vanished, the smile on Su Mo’s face also gradually faded.
“Xiao Mo…”
Noticing this, Yang Xiaoyun spoke softly: “The things she said…”
Su Mo nodded slightly, looking in the direction of Baihu City with a furrowed brow:
“We naturally cannot take her words at face value. Out of all she said, if even two or three parts could be trusted, that would already be quite a lot.
“The Chief Steward’s actions must be related to her.
“However, her method of secretly attacking the Chief Steward made me doubt her identity, which is why I took you all away from Baihu City.
“It was supposed to be a ploy to draw out the snake…
“Yet in the end, it was she who appeared, which was quite unexpected.
“The Emperor Heart Technique is indeed an extraordinary martial art, but if it were to be used as a gesture of apology, it would seem far too valuable.
“Observing her actions, she must have ulterior motives.
“By comparison, I am rather inclined to believe what she said, that there is an issue with the clan’s Holy Artifact and that top-notch material is needed for repairs.
“Otherwise… Baihu City has stood till now, and I’ve indeed never heard any rumor of them troubling past Jianghu people.”
Yang Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and said:
“Could it be like this…
“Knowing that we possessed the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, they became tempted and prepared accordingly.
“The first measure was what the Chief Steward attempted tonight.
“If we were truly no match for the Chief Steward, the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron would naturally fall into their hands.
“Moreover, if we were defeated by the Chief Steward, they could accuse us of defiling the Tiger Lord or causing chaos within Baihu City.
“Thus, they would have a reason.
“Even if the Chief Steward was no match for us, it was still a test, and subsequently, the High Priest personally intervened.
“By displaying weakness, she then seeks sympathy with her speech.
“She gave us the Emperor Heart Technique, if we practice it according to the instructions, the more benefits we gain, the more we inevitably think about this matter.
“Eventually… even if we don’t give them the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, we might still end up finding other materials to help them repair their clan’s Holy Artifact?”
Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun with surprise and praised repeatedly:
“Sister Xiao Yun managed to deduce this much, indeed it’s like seeing someone anew after three days.”
Yang Xiaoyun, praised by him, couldn’t help but spit out:
“You always have ill intentions, every time after saying such things you contradict others.
“Go on, I’m already waiting for it, just say it, let’s see what objections you have this time.”
“… I’m wronged.”
Su Mo protested quickly: “Am I such a person? Even if I do have more to say, it’s only to fill in the gaps for Sister Xiao Yun.”
“… So, there is more to say after all?”
Yang Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow: “Let’s hear it.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Mo smiled and said:
“On the whole, what Sister Xiao Yun said shouldn’t be wrong.
“Their actions may seem bizarre and absurd, but Baihu City lies secluded in the Southwest. Judging from what the High Priest has said, she claims the Chief Steward underestimated the heroes of the world, isn’t she the same?
“How formidable is the Youquan Sect master?
“None of the Dongcheng Seven Sects dare to underestimate him.
“Yet she doesn’t take him into account at all.
“This includes the power of the Emperor Heart Technique giving her significant leverage.
“On the other hand, they also belittle the rest of the world due to long absence of witnessing true experts.
“So initially, it is possible that they indeed overlooked us.
“As the High Priest of Baihu City, she allowed the Chief Steward to act in this way; if successful, it would enable them to acquire the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron with utmost speed to repair their Holy Artifact.
“The only difference I see from Sister Xiao Yun’s perspective is just one thing…
“There are many in Jianghu who are ungrateful and deceitful.
“The High Priest gifted the Emperor Heart Technique, clearly stating that even the ancient powers of the Da Xuan Dynasty were eager for it.
“It shows how precious and rare this Skill is…
“What ability do you and I possess to resist practicing it?
“And if there’s something fishy within the Emperor Heart Technique, leaving one controlled after practicing it.
“Wouldn’t that be more convenient than any emotional entanglement, letting conscience prevail?”
“There’s a hidden trap within the Emperor Heart Technique!?”
Yang Xiaoyun was shocked, unable to help looking at the scroll in Su Mo’s hand.
Su Mo simply sighed:
“I’ve reviewed it twice just now, but have not found the mechanism involved.
“However, there is one thing I do not understand.
“When I was fighting with the Chief Steward, what method did the High Priest use to assault him right under my watch without anyone noticing?
“Sister Yun, do you remember Old Hu once said that, aside from the High Priest, no one else could fully master the Emperor Heart Technique.
“Why not?
“And how is it that the High Priest could lead the entire White Tiger Clan without any change for thousands of years?”
