Chapter 45 The Original Story
Su Mo's voice was neither cold nor cruel.
His voice was soft, like a small greeting between friends.
However, this small greeting formed a sharp contrast with the shrill screams on the ground.
The man had no choice but to stop and look back at Su Mo.
His face was pale, completely devoid of color.
Su Mo looked at him and smiled:
"Since you came here, I knew something was wrong. Although you arrived first, I clearly heard that the other two people arrived almost at the same time as you. However, when you appeared, the two of them hid on the left and right.
"They kept saying you stole something from them, but they never mentioned the thing.
"When the Sword Master of Qi Jue Hall arrived and saw the sword box behind me, he insisted that this was what you stole.
“Even if we take a step back, I can guess that the Sword Master of the Seven Absolutes Hall just saw this thing of mine, sensed its mystery, and wanted to steal it for himself.
"But the dealings between you two before are hard to explain, right?"
Su Mo squatted down and said with a smile: "The injuries on your body are very realistic, but unfortunately, the more you do and say, the more mistakes you make. I have a guess about your mystery, but I still want to hear what you have to say first."
His tone was warm, like an old friend chatting with him.
The man looked at Su Mo carefully before speaking:
"The Sword Master... The Sword Master met a swordsman before, and the two of them suddenly started fighting for some reason.
"As a result, the swordsman was so powerful that he cut off the sword of the sword master with one strike...
"The Sword Hall is in charge of the Qingyang Sword, and the Sword Master only has the authority and responsibility to use it. If the Qingyang Sword is damaged in the slightest, the Sword Master will be held responsible.
"At that time, the entire Sword Hall was naturally filled with gloomy clouds... until the Sword Master heard the news that a swordsmith master had forged a new sword, which was as precious as the Qingyang Sword.
"And for some reason, the sword was escorted by an unknown little person. When the Sword Master heard about it, he knew... this was an opportunity."
Having said that, he looked at Su Mo carefully, and seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, he continued:
“As you know, the reputation of Qi Jue Tang is in jeopardy now. The Sword Master certainly wants to make up for the guilt of Qing Yang Sword, but if he rashly leads his disciples to rob the escort, even if he disguises himself as a Green Forester, it will inevitably be known to others. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
"He...he is already guilty. If he continues to act like this, even if he has a replacement, he will probably not be able to escape blame.
"That's why I came up with this painstaking plan, which is... that is, let me pretend to steal something from the sword hall and get close to you.
"But the sword-wielding people's actions had two purposes.
"One is so that I can share the same hatred with you and become your friends.
“Secondly…if you were impressed by the reputation and momentum of the Seven Absolutes Hall and really followed us, it would save you a lot of effort.
"On the other hand, if it fails, then... after I become friends with you two, I can naturally find a way to steal the sword secretly..."
When the man said this, he couldn't help but glance at the man who borrowed the sword who was sleeping soundly under the roots of a tree.
Although I know that even without this person, nothing can be accomplished tonight.
However, thinking of this man's martial arts and Su Mo's invincible spirit, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He was really frightened.
“Great.”
Su Mo could not help but nodded: "If we follow you and arrive at the territory of Qi Jue Tang, you will naturally let us call a deer a horse, flatten and twist it. Even if it gets out, it will only be two young people who made a mistake. Looking back, even if we walked around in Qi Jue Tang and came out safely, with the reputation of stealing people's treasures, how can we have the face to stand in the world in the future?
"As for the two of us who have little influence in the martial arts world, even if we tell them what happened to us, how many people will believe us?
"On the contrary, there is a suspicion that ...
“Besides, if it’s really as you think, and your first plan goes as planned, we can become friends.
"In this way, even if you stole the sword in the middle of the night, I would never associate it with the Qi Jue Hall.
“After all, we share the same hatred and the same enemy, and your reputation as a ‘thief’ has been clearly known by the Qi Jue Hall.
“I only hate myself for being friends with thieves, and I will eventually suffer from the failure of judging people.
"Well...it's indeed a good plan."
Su Mo sighed. Nothing in this world can be justified by reason.
The purpose of Qi Jue Tang's move is to first occupy the position of reason. If that succeeds, they will completely distance themselves from the matter.
As long as the goal can be achieved, people may even laugh at these two young men of the underworld during their leisure time, saying that they don't know how treacherous people are and how deep the underworld is, and that they were so ignorant that they fell into other people's schemes.
Yang Xiaoyun sighed softly: "The wickedness of human hearts is the evil of the world."
"Who says it's not?"
Su Mo sighed and asked another question: "Then do you know why I haven't killed you yet?"
"W-why?"
Hearing this, the man couldn't help but look up at Su Mo.
"Because I have a curious question."
Su Mo asked: "You just said so much, but you didn't tell us, who told you about our itinerary, and who told you about what we were carrying?"
"Yes Yes……"
The man looked up and just said two words, but he saw a dark star suddenly flash, appearing without any warning and going straight to the man's throat.
This attack had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the man to open his mouth and then to kill him immediately.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the starlight flashed, Su Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed the man behind him, and the cold star was nailed to the tree trunk.
With a creaking sound, under the light of the fire, the hidden weapon appeared azure blue and green, and was obviously filled with poison!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Do you really think I've never watched a TV series?"
Su Mo casually threw the man to Yang Xiaoyun , then stepped on tiptoe and flew into the night.
Yang Xiaoyun's heart tightened, and just as he was about to speak to remind them, he heard a loud bang.
In the darkness, the two people had obviously collided once, and a strong gust of wind spread from then on, and the flames rose more than a foot high in the air.
But he saw Su Mo flying back with a frown on his face.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyun quickly asked, "How is it? Are you injured?"
"No problem."
Su Mo shook his head: "It's a palm strike, but there are actually two people hiding in this forest."
