Chapter 15: Storms in the Jianghu
"The swordsman you killed in the woods was his apprentice."
Yu Lingxin revealed the whole story in one sentence.
It also made Su Mo understand why this old man found him inexplicably.
I couldn't help but curl my lips: "Wine from unknown sources is indeed not allowed to be drunk."
"That wine... can actually be drunk. As long as your inner strength is deep enough, it will actually be beneficial."
Yu Lingxin shook her head gently: "Now, has your curiosity been satisfied?"
"Let's just say so."
Su Mo was actually a little depressed: "I won't be so curious in the future."
In fact, he himself is not a very curious person. The main reason is that he is involved in this incident. If he leaves rashly it will really be suspected that he is unable to get rid of the tail.
Only then did I follow to find out what was going on.
Who could have imagined that the situation would be like this?
Just when he came face to face with Yu Lingxin and those men in black were rushing towards him, Su Mo understood something.
And when he heard the conversation between the man in black and Yu Lingxin, he understood almost everything.
The entire Yu family was once wiped out, leaving only Yu Lingxin.
For more than ten years, she practiced martial arts diligently, and only after achieving some success did she travel the world to seek revenge.
Su Mo had no idea how the game was set up in the first place, but his guess was simple... The four people in the woods were from the same organization, hiding in the dark, investigating the location of Xuanjikou.
This is also the reason why Su Mo has never heard of the names of these four people.
For people like them, the less famous they are, the better.
It is only convenient for them to act when no one knows them.
Yu Lingxin used the Xuanjikou as bait and finally lured these four people out.
However, these four are not her target. Her real target is the organization hidden behind these four people.
She killed Chef Zhou and even killed people outside the peach blossom forest. It was not without purpose.
If this behavior were to reach the ears of Hu Piaopiao and the others, coupled with some misleading information, Hu Piaopiao and the others would very likely conclude that Chef Zhou and the man surnamed Xu in the peach blossom forest died in revenge.
Who would take revenge then?
If the information about the "Yu family" and "Wang Xianglin" were cleverly conveyed at this time, it would not be difficult to come to a conclusion that would satisfy both parties.
Of course, Su Mo was not clear about the specific details of this series of plans.
But the end result was that the organization knew of Yu Lingxin's existence.
And as expected, they heard the news and sent people to attack and kill, which led to the situation tonight.
It can be said that throughout the whole process, Su Mo was just a passerby who was involved .
And the secret buckle was actually fake...hidden inside was a deadly hidden weapon.
To be honest, Su Mo felt at this moment that his curiosity was not that strong. Otherwise, if he really opened it to take a look, wouldn't he die before that?
As for why she let the swordsman lead away Old Man Shihen to rescue her, it was obviously because she needed the brocade box to help her achieve her goal.
Judging from what she did tonight, she might be preparing to use the killer move in the box to solve the biggest problem.
However, she did not expect that her presence would make her hesitate, and she even resorted to the strategy of destroying herself and the enemy together.
After all these thoughts flashed through his mind, Su Mo waved his hand without waiting for Yu Lingxin to speak: "Since I have nothing to do here, I will take my leave."
Yu Lingxin looked at Su Mo quietly for a while, then nodded: "I will take care of the ending here, you must keep your mouth shut, otherwise, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, you may still cause trouble with your mouth."
"I understand. Thanks for the reminder."
"Well...be careful of the old man Shihen. Qilin...can't hold him back for too long."
After Yu Lingxin finished speaking, she turned around, obviously not intending to say any more to Su Mo.
Su Mo was also tactful. This time he really turned around and left without stopping.
No matter how many follow-ups there are to Yu Lingxin's plan, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
After finishing all this, I can get out of it and won’t go home with any trouble.
In fact, if I had left directly after visiting Jimingyi Yuquan Inn, there would not have been any further follow-up... Unfortunately, I didn't know enough about the situation at that time, and I couldn't feel at ease, which led to the unexpected events tonight.
Su Mo left very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Yu Lingxin then turned around and looked in the direction where Su Mo left. There was a hint of thought in her eyes, but in the end she shook her head.
As he took a step, he did not go away, but walked towards a place in the forest.
There was a big tree not far from that place. She walked around the trunk and came to the other side. She put her hand on the bark and pulled hard.
She actually pulled the bark away directly.
The tree was hollow, and there was a person hiding inside.
This is a woman... If Su Mo were here, he would definitely be able to recognize her at a glance. She is the only woman among the four people, Hu Piaopiao.
But at this moment Hu Piaopiao's eyes were closed, she had no breathing, no heartbeat, as if she was a dead person.
Yu Lingxin reached out and tapped her a few times. Hu Piaopiao, who looked like a dead person, suddenly took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
…
…
It was naturally difficult to travel on a rainy night , but Su Mo still walked very fast.
He couldn't wait to get out of this mess.
As I was hurrying on my way, I couldn't help but feel emotional.
The world seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.
You may not notice it if you are not involved, but only when you are involved do you realize how serious it is.
Yu Lingxin's scheme and her fight with that unknown organization was, to be honest, just one of the many storms in the martial arts world.
It is just a small microcosm of the entire world.
By coincidence, Su Mo was involved in it and was able to get a glimpse of the whole picture, but he could also see that the ups and downs of the world are so fleeting and beyond human control.
Sometimes, just because you don't provoke anyone, the wind and rain won't hit you.
If it rains, it will rain and my mother will get married, who can stop it?
“So, if you want to survive in this world, you must be prepared to be caught up in the storm.
"Only by standing firm in the midst of wind and rain can one be said to have a foothold in the martial arts world."
Su Mo let out a long sigh: "Then from now on, just mind your own business and try not to get involved in the storm. Just escort the escort and complete the mission peacefully, get rewards, and accumulate martial arts. Even if there is any trouble in the future that you have to get involved in, you have martial arts to rely on, so at least you won't be carried away by the storm.
"But...what happened to the swordsman named Qilin now?"
Speaking objectively, judging from Yu Lingxin's behavior, the person who handed the brocade box to her in the woods might not have been instructed by her. It might have been just a helpless act before he died.
Therefore, whether the swordsman killed himself or he killed the swordsman was not someone else's fault, but his own decision.
The swordsman named Qilin, who led away the old man Shihen, was, to some extent, actually taking the blame for himself.
"But... never mind. It's not like I asked him to carry it."
Su Mo quickly and ruthlessly shook off this thought and continued on his way towards Luoxia City.
