Chapter 700: Chapter 301 Belief
Under the cover of night, two people stealthily made their way through the alleys of Wusheng Hall.
The person in the lead clearly had a thorough understanding of the grounds, deftly grasping the patrol timings of the Wushengtang disciples, signaling to stop and leading the way at the right moments.
Their journey had gone completely unnoticed by anyone.
Su Mo couldn’t help but marvel at this, thinking, even as the daughter of the hall’s master, could she really have such a detailed understanding of the patrol routes?
Following Wan Yilan had led them deep into the inner courtyard of Wusheng Hall.
Wan Yilan’s objective was very clear. When she led Su Mo to a spot just outside a courtyard wall, she stopped and turned to him.
“Lord Su, from here on, we’ll need to rely on you.”
Su Mo glanced around, realizing he no longer recognized his surroundings, and couldn’t help but ask:
“Where is this?”
“This is my mother’s residence.”
Wan Yilan said: “The guards inside are highly skilled in martial arts, and the situation is unclear. Our previous method won’t work anymore. My mother has hidden all her belongings in a secret chamber. With your high-level martial arts, if you can take me in, I’ll guide you.”
Su Mo sharply inhaled, thinking to himself, “This really is boldness from a girl!”
Just because he saved Wan Cangxin, she seemed ready to betray even her own parents thoroughly.
If Yang Xiaoyun was a cotton-padded coat with some leaks, the lady before him seemed to be wearing a porcupine armor inside out.
Su Mo initially thought having a daughter would be nice, somebody affectionate and caring…
Now, he felt he might need to reconsider.
His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but he softly spoke:
“Miss Wan, my apologies.”
After saying so, he reached for Wan Yilan’s shoulder and applied a move from the Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand – the ’adhesive’ technique – sticking her shoulder to his palm, and with a leap, they were inside the courtyard.
They landed on tiptoes, silent as shadows.
Wan Yilan tensed instinctively but relaxed after making it inside, not daring to think further.
She pointed out the direction for Su Mo.
With a light touch of his toe, Su Mo darted away like the wind.
Wan Yilan could only blink as Su Mo flashed to a new location, prompting her to quickly guide him further.
It wasn’t until now that Wan Yilan truly understood the extent of Su Mo’s qinggong skills.
Carrying her along, they covered distances in an instant.
And without a sound, even if patrolling disciples were nearby, they wouldn’t notice him.
They would simply mistake it for a passing breeze.
Moreover, Su Mo seemed to know the place even better than her.
He appeared to know exactly where the guards patrolled and stood watch in the courtyard.
Those with profound Inner Strength naturally had sharp senses.
But the experts of this courtyard were not the same as those outside.
This revealed just how formidable Su Mo really was.
In a flash, after just a few leaps, they arrived in front of a small building.
With a jump, they were at the second-floor window, pushed it open, and pulled Wan Yilan into the corridor.
He then gently closed the window behind them.
Though the feat sounds complicated, it was all done in the blink of an eye.
When Wan Yilan finally collected herself, her face showed utter astonishment.
However, now was not the time to marvel. She suppressed her amazement, tugged at Su Mo’s sleeve, and pointed in another direction.
Su Mo nodded lightly and was about to take her there when his gaze fell on a tightly shut door not far away.
The door might have been closed, but Su Mo could hear two people inside the room.
He glanced at Wan Yilan subconsciously.
Wan Yilan mouthed two words silently: My mother.
Was that Lady Wan’s room?
Lady Wan… with someone else?
Wasn’t Wan Yutang still in closed-door cultivation?
Su Mo was puzzled; if it wasn’t Wan Yutang with Lady Wan, then who could it be?
He pondered for a moment but didn’t approach to investigate.
To seek such truths in the presence of their daughter seemed quite inappropriate.
And what if Wan Yutang had simply ended his seclusion early?
Even if the man with Lady Wan was not Wan Yutang, what then?
With a roll of thoughts, he put aside his curiosity and, guided by Wan Yilan, they soon found themselves in front of another room.
Opening the door, they found a study.
“Is this your father’s study?”
Su Mo surveyed the area.
But Wan Yilan shook her head: “No, it’s my mother’s.”
“Then where does your father…”
“He doesn’t live here.”
Wan Yilan smiled helplessly:
“Our family of three used to live together a long time ago. Somehow, we ended up living in three separate places.
“My mother stays here, my father on the back mountain… well, he doesn’t actually live on the back mountain, but he spends far more time there than in his residence.
“However, if it weren’t like this, I wouldn’t have had the chance to… to be with Cangxin…”
She went quiet, obviously embarrassed.
Halting her speech, she then said to Su Mo:
“I really must apologize, Lord Su. I don’t have many friends on a normal day.
“Even though there are people I can talk to, some secrets cannot be spoken of.
“You know about me and Wan Cangxin, you are a friend of both Cangxin and me, so I’ve been a bit too outspoken.”
“No worries.”
Su Mo waved his hand: “Miss Wan, please.”
He motioned towards the study.
“Okay.”
Wan Yilan nodded and went to find and activate the mechanism.
