Chapter 697: Chapter 300: Taking You to Find Endless Prison
Wan Yilan charged ahead impetuously, how could the people of the Seventh Hall dare block her path?
Who didn’t know that this little princess was the apple of Lady Wan’s eye?
She was her only daughter, whom she always treated as precious as a treasure.
Even Xing Lan, who usually acted so arrogantly and unreasonably, didn’t dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful in the face of this little princess from Wusheng Hall.
At this moment, watching Wan Yilan’s forceful approach, the Qilin Swordsman quickly put on a smile:
“This… Miss Wan, why have you come here?”
“Why can’t I come?”
Wan Yilan snorted: “Uncle Xing, how can you wrong a good person?”
“This…how could you say that?”
The Qilin Swordsman said these words with an expression that was a little strange.
He couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo.
This Miss Wan’s purpose in coming here, which appeared to be extremely simple and rough, was it to stand up for Su Mo?
But hasn’t Su Mo just arrived at Wusheng Hall?
Having stayed with Yang Xiaoyun all day, how could the miss of Wusheng Hall know him?
Rushing over in such haste to advocate for him, what was really behind this?
Wan Yilan snorted:
“Even if I’m confined within the inner chambers, I still know about Uncle Xing’s wrong accusations.
“You say…”
She stopped talking when she saw Wu Yong’s corpse, her brow slightly furrowing:
“You claim that Su, the Chief of the Escort, killed Wu Yong, which is utterly nonsensical.”
“Hm? Miss Wan, do you know something?”
“Of course.”
Wan Yilan said: “At the time when the gong of the Fourth Hall sounded loudly, Su, the Chief of the Escort, was with me. How could he be talking with me one moment and killing someone in the Fourth Hall the next?”
“Ah?”
The Qilin Swordsman was taken aback, truly stunned this time.
It wasn’t just him, Yu Lingxin was also stunned and instinctively glanced at Su Mo.
Even Yang Yizhi, who was putting on a human skin mask on the beam, paused slightly with his fingers and then looked down from the high place, sweeping a deep glance at Su Mo.
Su Mo felt a darkness descend before his eyes.
He thought to himself, does this miss of Wusheng Hall know that she can’t kill him with her martial arts, so is she planning to kill with a borrowed knife?
Especially at this moment, he couldn’t show any flaws or explain to anyone.
At least on the surface, he now was at odds with this ’Xing Lan.’
’Xing Lan’ identified him as the murderer, and he was now struggling for his own innocence…
Now that Miss Wan is testifying to his innocence, how could he deny it?
At this moment, the Qilin Swordsman had already turned his head and looked coldly at Su Mo:
“Su, the Chief, is what Miss Wan said true?”
“…True.”
Su Mo snorted with a cold face and quickly communicated to Yang Yizhi:
“Uncle Yang, there is a hidden secret in this matter, which I will report to you another day.”
From the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Yizhi, who had been staring at him, turn his head away upon hearing his communication…
“…”
Su Mo was speechless.
What the hell was going on here?
“Did you hear that?”
Wan Yilan snorted: “Su is a true hero of Earth, a magnificent great hero. How could he murder secretly and indiscriminately? Uncle Xing, as the Hall Master of the Seventh Hall, you cannot be so partial and credulous.
“To wrongfully accuse a good person is one thing, but if it brings trouble to Wusheng Hall, how can that be good?”
The Qilin Swordsman marveled in his heart.
But his face showed puzzlement:
“Miss Wan, were you truly with Su, the Chief, earlier? You mustn’t deceive me.
“I do know that you and Su, the Chief, have never met before, nor do you have any acquaintance; why would you have a secret meeting in the night?”
While he spoke, he looked again towards Su Mo: “What’s the deal with you and Miss Wan?”
Secret meeting your head!!!
Su Mo now regretted that during the exchange of palm strikes with the Qilin Swordsman earlier, he should have struck with full force and seriously injured this fellow.
Or even better, killed him outright.
That would have been better than the current situation which has only brought him trouble.
Meanwhile, Su Mo already noticed that Yang Yizhi’s looks had turned dangerous.
While looking at him, he was also nodding slightly, and even smiling, but the smile was not at all friendly.
Bad, bad!
Su Mo cried inwardly in alarm, but his mouth coldly sneered:
“What does it have to do with you!?”
The Qilin Swordsman immediately glared at Su Mo.
Su Mo remained calm and indifferent.
Wan Yilan, however, smiled:
“Uncle Xing, although it is my first time meeting Su, the Chief of the Escorts, I have long heard of his reputation.
“That prompted me to audaciously invite Su, the Chief of the Escorts, to meet at Gu Tower with a dart invitation.
“We talked and conversed joyfully on the terrace of the Gu Tower.
“It was then, suddenly hearing the sound of the gong from the Fourth Hall, that he parted from me.
“Albeit disappointed, I could only let it be. I was thinking of going back to rest, but just when I reached my room and before I could lie down, I heard that you had wronged Su, the Chief of the Escorts.
“So I hurried over to testify for Su, the Chief of the Escorts.”
“This…”
The Qilin Swordsman conscientiously considered the matter, acting as Xing Lan, with such a suspicious mindset.
However, all he could think about was what these two could be talking about in their nocturnal meeting?
“Or are you saying that you truly don’t believe even my word, Uncle Xing?”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
The Qilin Swordsman quickly shook his head.
“If you dare not, then I shall take Su, the Chief of the Escorts, away.”
Wan Yilan glanced at Su Mo: “Su, the Chief of the Escorts, I have some matters to discuss with you, can you… can you come with me?”
