Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 388 - 197: Speaking Clearly_2

"What do you mean?"

Wei Ziyi asked curiously, "If Grandfather has this idea, I naturally follow it. Otherwise, what other meaning would there be?"

"That’s not right..."

Su Mo rubbed his face; even with his supreme martial arts, there were aspects he struggled to grasp.

One thinks of the overall situation, the other harbors personal feelings; these two are not even on the same communication channel.

He pondered momentarily and said, "Forgive my bluntness, but it seems to me that Miss Wei does not harbor romantic feelings towards me."

"Indeed."

Wei Ziyi continuously nodded her head, "I associate with you simply because you truly are a person worth befriending. My desire to be your friend is also because I’ve hardly made any friends in my life.

"Whether it’s you, or the Yang Family Sister, I am sincerely engaging with you all, with not even a bit of self-interest."

"That’s very good, but since you have no romantic thoughts towards me, how can you just comply and resign yourself to this arrangement?"

Su Mo faintly heard the sound of his worldviews shattering.

Wei Ziyi smiled and said, "Su, the Chief of the Escort, you are a wise man, and the reasoning here seemingly doesn’t need to be explained by me. If you stand from my position, and from my ancestor’s position, you should be able to understand."

Su Mo frowned slightly; he had never considered this perspective before.

It’s not that he hasn’t considered... mainly, he never considered it from Wei Ziyi’s point of view.

He wondered why Wei Ruhan would have this idea.

The answer was not hard to guess.

However, Wei Ziyi’s resignation... this was not quite what he imagined.

And it’s not like what they show in TV dramas either!

He immediately sighed, "Miss Wei, don’t let me down."

"Hmm?"

Wei Ziyi, finding it both funny and saddening: "What is there for me to let you down about? Tell me."

"In my heart, Miss Wei has her own principles, and when we first met, you were cunning countless times, not an ordinary character.

"Such a person, how can their fate be controlled by others?

"With your intelligence and martial arts, should you not grasp all variabilities in your own hands?

"How the future evolves is not for anyone else to determine but you alone."

Su Mo spoke with righteousness.

Wei Ziyi thought for a moment and nodded, "You’re right in that."

"Miss Wei is not someone in my heart who admits defeat easily."

Su Mo continued, "Back in the day, your father, the eldest son of the Wei Family, tragically died by the Heng River. Remember, the first time we met, Miss Wei told me about it. It’s not asking for much in this lifetime, yet this matter is an obsession.

"How difficult this matter is, I imagine I need not say, Miss Wei knows it herself.

"Have you ever considered giving up?"

"Father’s vengeance cannot coexist under the same sky, how could I speak lightly of giving up?"

Wei Ziyi said seriously, "Even if it means being crushed and fragmented, I must investigate it to the end!"

"That’s exactly it."

Su Mo said, "This is the Miss Wei I know in my heart, once you set a goal, you never easily change, and you are not swayed by others. Even if the Alliance Leader Wei is your grandfather, he should not easily manipulate your future."

"Hahaha."

Wei Ziyi couldn’t help but laugh, "Your stance is rather amusing... it’s as if marrying me is making you the victim.

"The grand Luofeng Alliance, let’s not say it falls into your hands, even though I’m not saying I’m a beauty of celestial grace, I must still look acceptable, right?"

"... Miss Wei is more beautiful than heavenly beings, but unfortunately, not the one I longed for."

"You are deeply devoted to Sister Yang Yun and do not wish to let her down, which is truly rare and admirable."

Wei Ziyi nodded and then sighed, saying:

"I can understand Grandfather’s hard work, and I now understand your thoughts too.

"Let us set aside this matter for now and continue to be friends as before."

"Set aside for now?"

Su Mo, hearing this, felt something was off: "Why ’for now’?"

"It’s just for now."

Wei Ziyi smiled, "Grandfather showed me a clear path, something I had never considered before. If one day, I truly find myself at a dead end and cannot continue, even if it is a bit challenging, I must strive towards this path.

"But now is clearly not the time to reach a dead end, so as you said, rely on my own abilities and negotiate.

"If I can really do it, why should I make it easy for you?

"But if I can’t manage it... why take the long way when there’s a shortcut?"

"... Listen to my advice, though this path may seem like a clear and easy route, it is in fact a dead end and impassable."

Su Mo sighed, "My late father once regretted, for he had wronged many. That day at the City Lord Manor, what you said was actually right.

"If unintentional, why bother provoking? I do not wish to provoke nor indulge in emotional debts. Sister Yun loves me deeply, and I reciprocate her feelings just as deeply. Your path, it’s already blocked."

"So... I only have one option left."

Wei Ziyi looked at Su Mo.

"What option?"

"When I’m on my dying breath, mimic the Great Village Chief of Xuanlong Water Fortress and loudly call out, ’Su, Chief of the Escort, save me!’ How about that?"

"This would certainly be more helpful than that clear path of yours."

"Fortunately, you didn’t say that this road was also blocked."

Wei Ziyi gently exhaled a sigh of relief and then said, "That’s what Grandfather wanted to tell you."
