Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 413 - 205: Third Palace Master_3

A group approached and Chu Qiuyu said:

"Since Junior Sister Wei is here, I shall take my leave. Lord Su, if you find yourself at leisure later, I would like to invite you to drink on the Star Viewing Platform and extend the hospitality of a host."

"Very well, thank you, Heroine Chu."

Su Mo cupped his hands in salute: "I will surely take the liberty to impose upon your kindness in the future."

"Very well, I bid you goodbye."

Chu Qiuyu smiled, turned, and departed.

After Chu Qiuyu had left, Wei Ziyi finally let out a long sigh and looked Su Mo up and down:

"What’s wrong with you? Ever since just now, you’ve looked like your soul has left your body."

"Nonsense, who has lost their soul?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Senior Sister Chu may not know you well enough to see through you, but you can’t fool me."

Wei Ziyi appeared somewhat surprised: "You couldn’t possibly know my master, could you?"

"... Cold Rain Flying Star Sword is a revered elder I have admired from afar for a long time, yet fate has been stingy in granting me an audience.

"Today is a fortunate opportunity to behold the esteemed visage of such a predecessor."

Su Mo waved his hand dismissively: "Enough chatter, hurry inside and report."

"How very strange, all of this is so odd!"

Wei Ziyi shook her head repeatedly, finding Su Mo’s behavior more and more peculiar.

Nevertheless, she didn’t dwell on it, and with a few steps, ascended the staircase, pushed the door, and entered.

Su Mo stood still, looking up to see a sign hanging from the building with three characters: Hanxi Building.

"Hanxi Building... or is it regret of the west?"

Su Mo quivered his brow, gently shaking his head, his different mental state letting him sense a touch of feminine resentment from these words.

Yet he also realized he was not in the right state of mind.

It was his worthless father’s fault, there was no reason for him to feel ashamed for that.

Not to mention, when he met Ling Hongxia earlier, hadn’t he handled himself appropriately?

Of course... these two people are not to be spoken of in the same breath.

Ling Hongxia was outgoing and bold-hearted, never dithering on such matters, but rather greatly diffusing any awkwardness.

But what kind of person was the Cold Rain Flying Star Sword, who had yearned for twenty years and committed to a life of solitude? freewebnøvel.com

While he was lost in thought, the firmly closed doors of the small building were already opened.

Wei Ziyi poked her head out, glancing at Su Mo: "My master invites you in."

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded and approached the door.

Wei Ziyi opened the door wide.

The inside of Hanxi Building was simply decorated, its elegance mixed with strands of crisp coldness.

Lifting his gaze, Su Mo saw at the far end of the hall a woman in white, her head buried over a desk, her brush whisking about like flying.

Su Mo cast a glance at Wei Ziyi, who nodded slightly.

She then led Su Mo through the door and closed it once more.

As Su Mo got closer, cupping his hands together and about to speak, the woman didn’t lift her head but pointed at Wei Ziyi:

"You can leave."

Her voice was ice-cold, devoid of any warmth or emotion.

Between her words, there even seemed a faint confrontation of sword cries.

Su Mo’s heart skipped, Wei Ziyi was momentarily taken aback:

"Master, you mean for me to leave?"

"Yes."

The woman’s response was concise and clear.

"..."

Wei Ziyi stood there stunned, then glanced at Su Mo again, her eyes spinning, obviously expecting an explanation.

Su Mo appeared completely mystified, seemingly even less informed than her.

If he intended to feign ignorance, he had to start from scratch.

"Aren’t you going?"

The woman spoke again.

Wei Ziyi reluctantly acquiesced: "Yes."

After saying that, she shot Su Mo a fierce look, sensing a change in how her master treated her.

She now had her own little secrets.

Even though she herself was a Phoenix Alliance Hierarch, at this time she still couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional.

Once Wei Ziyi had exited the Hanxi Building and closed the doors, Su Mo cupped his hands again, about to speak.

But the woman seemed unaccustomed to being introduced to, and simply asked:

"Do you like that girl?"

"Ah?"

Su Mo was startled: "Who?"

"Wei Ziyi."

The woman continued without looking up: "Her grandfather must have told you by now, he wants to marry his granddaughter to you.

"Don’t use the excuse that you’re already betrothed, that’s not an issue.

"I’m only asking you one thing... do you like her?"

"... This."

Su Mo was momentarily at a loss, gently shaking his head: "There is no romantic affection between her and me."

"Huh?"

The woman’s brushwork suddenly ceased: "That’s very blunt and decisive, unlike him... good.

"However, do you even know what romantic affection is?"

"This..."

Su Mo was speechless: "Elder, is this a topic you and I should be discussing?"

"Why not?"

The woman sighed long at this point, raising her head to reveal a delicate face.

Her beauty was impeccable, without the slightest sign of age.

Her eyes hid brilliance, yet they were cold and clear, devoid of life’s warmth.

"Do you think I’m too old to discuss this with you? Or do you believe that since you’re the junior and I’m the senior, it’s against propriety for us to discuss such matters?"

"This..."

Su Mo was momentarily speechless and could only say: "I have only just met the elder..."

"No."

"Hm?"

"You were still in swaddling clothes when I first saw you."

The corners of this Cold Rain Flying Star Sword’s mouth revealed a faint smile, seemingly recalling something.

But the smile vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Su Mo raised his brow; was she about to reveal something candidly?

Just as he was surprised, the atmosphere around him suddenly turned icy.

In an instant, the air seemed to carry the clamor of clashing sword edges.

The woman in front had already turned as cold as frost, her stare piercing into Su Mo:

"Do you know what I intended to do when I saw you back then?"

"... Please enlighten me."

Su Mo lifted his head to look at her.

He then saw the woman before him, her lips parting slightly, uttering two chilling words:

"Kill you."
