Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 301 - 168 Righteousness_3

Yang Xiaoyun felt somewhat confused, looking at Yang Yi and then at Su Mo, lost in a sea of bewilderment for a moment.

Yang Yi, however, was calmly watching Su Mo, his gaze unruffled:

"Why would you come to such a conclusion?"

"...Because there are traces to follow."

Su Mo pondered for a bit before speaking, "Before my grandfather passed away, he left something that was meant to be delivered to the Ziyang Sect.

"My father once studied in the Ziyang Sect, and both of these facts indicate that the relationship between our Su family and the Ziyang Sect is out of the ordinary.

"At this juncture, the opposing side has a possible blank in their information.

"Verifying this is of crucial importance.

"I initially thought that if I returned to the Ziyang Escort Agency with a loose outer and tight inner stance, preparing early, we could test the reality of the adversary.

"If their information holds no problems, we might draw them into a trap.

"If we have shaken them off along the way and there indeed is a gap in their information, then the result will inevitably give you a significant breathing space.

"However, there is one problem that cannot be erased no matter what."

"What problem?"

Yang Yi still looked at Su Mo with calm eyes.

"You were protecting Shou Xuan for nearly four months, then you headed to the land of his clan.

"After rescuing Li Siyun, you spent a few more days healing, a total of more than five months, even close to half a year.

"Jianghu may seem deserted everywhere, but if someone carefully investigates, they can surely discover traces and realize that you have not returned to Luoxia City for a full half year.

"The deadly issue is that before this, my grandfather and the capable people of the escort agency all perished on one escort mission.

"If you come back empty-handed, there will be no explanation.

"But if you reveal grandfather’s body, you also cannot conceal the truth.

"I assume, given my father’s character, he certainly wouldn’t kill someone along the way and deform the body to create a false truth.

"Therefore, the best solution... is to use the Ziyang Sect as a front.

"Take a trip to the Ziyang Sect and fully reveal the details of your travel experiences.

"Claiming that for the past half year, you have all been in mourning within the Ziyang Sect.

"If the enemy truly knows your identities, you still have the Ziyang Sect as a fallback.

"If they do not know, then it proves that there indeed exists a blank in their information.

"In this way, you will be in a position where you can advance or retreat at will."

Yang Yi quietly looked at Su Mo again, then asked, "But what if this move brings about disaster to the Ziyang Sect? With your father’s temperament, how could he possibly lead such a formidable enemy into the Ziyang Sect?"

"...I would suppose that even at that time, none of you ever felt that the Ziyang Sect feared anyone, right?"

Su Mo looked at Yang Yi.

Yang Yi finally could not keep a straight face and smiled helplessly, "Yun’er is right, in over two years, you indeed have transformed completely.

"You’re right, we indeed went to the Ziyang Sect.

"At the time, I only thought that we should hide, absolutely not showing any trace.

"But your father said that if we did so, it would confirm our involvement in the matter.

"The best method is to rely on the Ziyang Sect; the other party operates in the shadows, certainly a sneak.

"But the thing they fear most when being sneaks is the spotlight!

"As one of the Seven Great Sects of Dongcheng, the Ziyang Sect may not dare claim to dominate the Donghuang Martial World, but it is certainly not a sect that can be bullied easily.

"Although the enemy is formidable, if they truly had no concerns, why would they act in secret? freewebnøvel.coɱ

"So... we really went.

"Only, we hid our tracks on our way there, but once at the destination, we moved about openly within the sect.

"The Ziyang Sect was united, and your father was like a fish in water there.

"After the Sect Leader learned of the matter, he even contacted the elders in the sect to unify their story.

"With that, we were able to smooth over the half year of absence.

"During this period, we constantly monitored to see if anyone was spying, but no one was.

"Time passed, and after another half year, we finally returned to the Ziyang Escort Agency.

"Besides your mother nagging your father a bit, it was peaceful within the agency.

"Only then did we completely let go of our guard, knowing that the enemy really never knew our true identities.

"However, with things at this point, none of us could rest easy.

"Li Siyun wanted to catch the traitor within the sect and retrieve the item they were guarding, and we, having received the benefits of the Yixuan Divine Skill for no reason, how could we remain indifferent?

"Moreover, having witnessed the tragic situation of Li Siyun’s clan firsthand, just how ruthless this hidden organization behind Jianghu is, also gave us a fright.

"No matter what the opposing side wants to do, there must be someone to stop them.

"To this... we are irreversibly committed!"

Hearing this, Su Mo sighed in his heart, the biggest difference between him, Su Tianyang, and Yang Yi is probably... the lack of this chivalrous heart.

Although many people regard Su Mo as nobly generous, and although he has saved many underlings in the Youquan Sect,

Often, it has been circumstances that propel him to act.

Moreover, when taking action, he often considers what benefits he can obtain from it.

How he can turn the situation to his advantage.

Not like some people who, upon encountering danger, would rush to rescue, to see injustice on the roadside and draw a sword to assist.

At the end of the day, Su Mo feels he is still a self-serving individualist.

As long as it doesn’t affect him personally, let the winds from all directions rage; I stand unyielding.

The Path of Chivalry probably refers to people like Su Tianyang and Yang Yi.

To practice martial arts, cultivate a courageous heart, and walk the path through Jianghu.

To not fail the skills learned, the prime of life, nor the chivalrous code.

But... this chivalry actually comes at a price.

Yang Yi also remained silent for a long time, then finally began to speak:

"To execute this plan, the first thing is that we must hide ourselves well.

"These people won’t play by the rules with us. In our game of wits, we have to consider the safety of those around us.

"So, we nearly can’t use our sect’s martial arts.

"The Jinghong Fenguang hand and the Yixuan Divine Skill become the preferred choice.

"However, there were some complications before starting the training for this martial arts skill..."

He said this and looked at Su Mo, gently shaking his head, his eyes revealing a bit of disapproval:

"Your dad had a good appearance, and so do you.

"He, ah, accumulated debts of romance throughout his life..."

"???"

Su Mo suddenly widened his eyes. What’s this about?

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but prick up her ears.

But just as Yang Yi was about to speak, a cold voice from a woman rang out:

"Yang Moutou, do you want to die!?"
