Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 76 - An Old Friend Visits at Night

Su Mo took a sip and smiled faintly, “A major event in Xuanji Valley is close at hand, three days should be the final deadline. However, before that, I’m curious how many elders and reputable figures this bunch of evil people from Youquan Sect have met in advance?”

Yang Xiaoyun thought of the ‘Xuanji Valley Disciples’ invitation to Qingshan Wanderer just earlier, and couldn’t help tighten up, “You mean…”

“Hard to say.”

Su Mo gently rubbed his brow, “Previously, Wei Ziyi told us that Lengyue Palace has detailed records about Youquan Sect. Within those, involve two parts, three flags, six orders, and the Body Seizing order wherein everyone is proficient in the art of disguise. If Qingshan Wanderer gets captured and someone disguises as him…”

“It seems this method can be occasionally effective.”

Yang Xiaoyun frowned slightly, “Otherwise, it would eventually be discovered.”

“So those targeted are just the Sects like Qingshan Wanderer who has a thinner line of people. What I’m curious about is, besides Qingshan Wanderer, what if others have also encountered such situations? Knowing a bit earlier is always better than being caught off guard later on.”

“Makes sense.”

Yang Xiaoyun breathed out softly, “But at this point, we must not alert the enemy; we are in a precarious situation and must tread very cautiously. Tonight, who will go, you or I?”

“Old rules, I’ll go.”

Su Mo said, “You stay here, prepared for any spying they might attempt.”

“Alright.”

After their conversation, they spoke no more.

Having traveled the whole way, they were exhausted and it was time to rest more.

Soon one went to the bed, the other sat on a chair and meditated in a lotus position.

When they had arrived, it was already noon, and they had missed mealtime, but in the evening, ‘Xuanji Valley Disciples’ came to deliver food.

After eating and drinking, it soon reached the middle of the night.

Aside from the chirping of insects and birds in Xuanji Valley, it was almost completely silent.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun opened their eyes, and silently, Yang Xiaoyun took out a set of night clothes for Su Mo to change into.

“Remember to be careful, don’t be negligent.”

“Don’t worry, just wait for me here.”

As Su Mo spoke, just about to push open the window to leap out, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled Yang Xiaoyun away from the window.

Yang Xiaoyun leaned close to Su Mo, her cheeks faintly burning hot.

These past few days, every time she got too close to Su Mo, she would experience some uncontrollable feelings.

The first time was in the main hall of Yuliu Manor, Su Mo pressed his hand on hers.

She had thought then that she was poisoned.

However, over these days, how could she not understand? If this was poison… Su Mo was surely the deadliest poison!

In this moment, feeling somewhat jittery and confused about what Su Mo intended.

But after a moment’s calm, she realized why Su Mo had suddenly retreated.

In the dark night, footsteps were hurriedly approaching, and there were more than one set of steps.

“There seems to be someone sprinting ahead, and someone chasing from behind.

In just a moment, the sounds grew increasingly close.

Su Mo’s eyes flashed, and seeing the extinguished candle, his lips twitched slightly, preparing to use his Inner Strength to flick and ignite the candlelight.

But at that moment, the footsteps had already reached the window.

Just now, Su Mo had pushed the window open halfway, and now, the person straightforwardly and without hesitation, jumped in through that half-open window.

Assuming there was no one in the room, he looked up only to see Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

Three people, six eyes, they met each other’s gaze and simultaneously exclaimed: “Is it you (guys)?”

Immediately, Su Mo said nothing more and first went to close the window.

His eyes swept inside the room and soon spotted a mahogany box.

With a tremor of his Inner Strength, he opened the box, tapped the acupoint of the newcomer, and then threw the astonished-faced person into the box before gently closing it.

He then leaped onto the bed and stretched out his hand to cover himself with the blanket.

He then gave Yang Xiaoyun a meaningful glance.

Yang Xiaoyun’s face turned red immediately.

Understanding Su Mo’s gesture just from that act.

Since childhood, she knew she was to marry Su Mo; driven by curiosity, she naturally inquired about such women’s intimate secrets from some older women and maids.

Although she hadn’t grasped many things recently, mainly because a sheltered young lady occasionally has her heart flutter, how could she think of those matters?

But seeing Su Mo’s blatant performance now, how could she not understand?

Though the situation called for such actions and was urgent, she couldn’t help but blush, yet her reaction was quick; she rumpled her clothes and hair, creating a false appearance of hastily dressing.

Meanwhile, footsteps had already reached the door, and someone gently knocked.

“Are the two of you resting? If not, could you kindly open the door? There is a thief from Xuanji Valley here, and we are capturing him.”

“Wait a moment.”

Su Mo called from the bed then rustled his clothes, creating a shuffling sound.

Yang Xiaoyun secretly let out a breath and impatiently approached the door, “In the middle of the night, which thief is so foolish?”

While speaking, she opened the door.

Several ‘Xuanji Valley Disciples’ stood outside and were startled by Yang Xiaoyun’s appearance, then glanced at Su Mo lying on the bed.

After exchanging looks, Su Mo gave an awkward smile.

The ‘Xuanji Valley Disciple’ also smiled, carrying a sense of unspoken understanding.

He then said with a bow: “We’ve disturbed your peace, apologies for the intrusion, we were just concerned about the thief disturbing the guests… Our apologies.”

While speaking, he carefully scanned the room, and just as he was about to say more, Yang Xiaoyun waved her hand:

“The great Xuanji Valley, such a ridiculous way to treat guests. There’s been no one else in our room, otherwise would it have been… hmph!”

“Yes, yes.”

Hearing this, the man suddenly realized, repeatedly apologized, and turned to leave.

With a wave of his hand, the people outside followed him.

Yang Xiaoyun then slammed the door shut, utterly expressing the discontent of a woman whose good time was disturbed.

Only after making sure the people outside had walked away did she let out a soft sigh of relief.

She glared at Su Mo, walked over to the mahogany box, and opened it.

The person lying inside still had a surprised expression, but there was no hint of a smile in their eyes, instead, they seemed on the verge of tears.

The person was not too old, not very pretty, but had especially lively eyes.

It was none other than someone from the Luoxing Sect… Lou Jingjing!
