Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 348 - 184: Legacy

This note has been in Su Mo’s hands for quite a long time.

After the first encounter with Yu Lingxin, Su Mo was assassinated in Luoxia City.

This was done by Zuo Qiuyang, the Deputy City Lord of Tianyu City from the Luofeng Alliance. After killing Zuo Qiuyang that night, Su Mo searched his body.

Unexpectedly, he crushed Zuo Qiuyang’s hairpin.

The note was obtained from it.

At that time, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun studied it and found that no matter how they read it, the words made no sense.

But why would someone like Zuo Qiuyang, cherish such a seemingly meaningless thing so cautiously?

So, Yang Xiaoyun thought at that time, it might be a secret letter, which could be deciphered through special means from these random words to reveal its true content.

Because it was well-hidden, Su Mo kept it.

However, up until now, he hasn’t found any related clues.

Seeing this Secret Message Box now reminded Su Mo of it.

At this moment, after a slight comparison, he indeed noticed some patterns.

The text on the Secret Message Box is arranged in ten characters per line, with each of the six sides containing ten lines.

In total, there are six hundred characters.

The note in Su Mo’s hand also has ten characters per line, and he counted by candlelight, having a total of sixty lines.

In total... also six hundred characters.

Su Mo looked up at Duan Song with a strange expression, and Duan Song also looked at Su Mo with a puzzled look:

"Where did this come from?"

"Do you believe me if I said I found it?"

"...I believe."

Duan Song nodded, "I believe whatever you father and son say."

Su Mo was momentarily speechless, lightly shaking his head, "Could it be such a coincidence?"

"Hard to say."

Duan Song waved his hand and said, "The Secret Message Box has been passed down through time, and there are many true and false deciphers available. Whether yours is real or fake is still unknown."

"Oh."

Su Mo nodded and casually threw the Secret Message Box into Duan Song’s hands.

"For me?"

Duan Song hurriedly caught it, a bit baffled.

"Aren’t you here on orders to retrieve this item? My father also mentioned in his letter to have you come take it away.

"Who else would I give it to?"

Su Mo asked back.

Duan Song thought carefully, and realized it was indeed the case, but still skeptically looked at Su Mo again:

"Are you really giving it to me like this?"

"...If you don’t want to take it, you can give it back to me."

"Who said I didn’t want it?"

Duan Song quickly stowed the Secret Message Box into his bosom and then glanced at the note in Su Mo’s hand.

Su Mo shook the note in his hand at Duan Song and then slowly folded it neatly, putting it into his sleeve.

"..."

Duan Song’s mouth twitched: "I came here just for this. Now that I’ve got the item, I’ll be leaving..."

"Alright."

Su Mo said with a smile, "Let me see you off, senior."

"Stay... stay!"

Duan Song quickly gestured with his hand, retreating to the exit where he grabbed a rope, tiptoed, and jumped out.

When Su Mo came out, Duan Song was eye-to-eye with Yang Xiaoyun.

Seeing Su Mo come out, Yang Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Song swept his gaze over their faces, nodding slightly:

"Young talent to be feared..."

"Senior, you flatter me."

Su Mo said, "Let me see you off."

"No need..."

Duan Song shook his head, about to walk out, but paused at the door, turning back to look at Su Mo:

"When will you return to Ziyang Sect?"

"I have already drafted a letter, sent to Ziyang Sect, and I will soon visit Dongcheng."

"Good."

Duan Song smiled, "Then I’ll wait for you to come over at Ziyang Sect... I wonder what expression the Sect Leader will have when he sees you now."

His eyes gleamed with a unique brilliance, reminiscent of his initial demeanor and majesty when he first met Su Mo, though it was uncertain whether he was again putting on an act of superiority.

But then he sighed softly, pushed open the door, stepped out onto the rooftop with a tap of his foot, and disappeared into the night with a flicker after removing a Human Skin Mask from his face.

Su Mo stood quietly at the door watching for a while before withdrawing his gaze and looking down at the hole in the ground.

"What happened?"

Yang Xiaoyun asked softly.

Su Mo briefly recounted the events inside the secret chamber.

Yang Xiaoyun was stunned, "A Secret Message Box? According to what you said, the contents inside the Secret Message Box might hold significant secrets."

"Indeed."

Su Mo nodded, "I somewhat suspect, whether there’s another Mysterious Mechanism inside, or something connected to the Mysterious Mechanism.

"However, Duan Song’s knowledge is still limited. Instead of dwelling on this, it’d be better to directly ask the Sect Leader of Ziyang Sect during the visit."

He said this with a quirky expression.

Because the letter started with ’Gifted from the master’.

In other words... the Sect Leader of Ziyang Sect is Su Tianyang’s master.

So for him, wouldn’t the Sect Leader of Ziyang Sect be his Grandmaster?

This was something even Yang Yizhi had never mentioned to him.

"Xiao Mo..."

Yang Xiaoyun suddenly spoke, and Su Mo turned to look at her, "What’s wrong?"

"I don’t quite understand."

Yang Xiaoyun’s brows furrowed slightly, "The note in Zuo Qiuyang’s hairpin has a connection with a Secret Message Box. And this Secret Message Box was preciously hidden in the secret chamber by Uncle Su.
