Chapter 1681 - 626: Unworthy (Ten-Thousand-Character - ) (Part 2)
I’ve come in, but what should I say?
Elder Yushu glanced at Xia Yuan and the woman from the Blood Lotus Sect, seeing them lying on the ground with calm faces, not knowing what they had encountered.
He cautiously glanced at Su Mo and gently cleared his throat:
"Young Hero, are you also enemies with this Blood Lotus Sect?"
Su Mo nodded:
"A friend of mine was captured by the Blood Lotus Sect, so I came all the way to find them.
"I initially got news some time ago that the Blood Lotus Sect was on Dingchan Mountain.
"I planned to go straight to Dingchan Mountain to seek revenge.
"But unexpectedly, I had the fortune to see Miss Tian stage a grand show here tonight.
"Surprisingly, it attracted the Deputy Hall Master of Jingxin Hall and these experts of the Blood Lotus Sect.
"It’s just the right moment to ask them whether the previous information I received was true?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Ning’er’s face turned red:
"Let Young Hero laugh...
"Tonight, I originally wanted Grandpa Yushu to see the evidence of Jingxin Hall colluding with the Blood Lotus Sect.
"But unexpectedly, such experts were drawn out.
"I almost caused Grandpa Yushu to lose his life.
"Now that I’ve been saved by Young Hero, I am truly grateful beyond words.
"It’s just a pity about those people..."
"What’s there to pity about those people?"
Elder Yushu shook his head:
"They are all people who commit all sorts of crimes, their deaths bring cleanliness."
Tian Ning’er sighed:
"I know they deserve to die... but as of now, truly, there are no useful people.
"Whether it’s Jingxin Hall or the Blood Lotus Sect, they are all numerous and powerful.
"If we can’t consolidate useful forces, how can we fight against them?"
Hearing this, Su Mo looked at Tian Ning’er and smiled softly:
"Miss Tian, you are mistaken. On Earth, there exists the Righteous Path, as the saying goes, ’Those who follow the Way are helped, those who lose the Way are deserted.’
"Unjust actions will lead to one’s own ruin.
"To say nothing of distant matters, if it weren’t for the lady helping us out tonight, leaving us a moment of goodwill, I’m afraid the lives of you two would also have ended here."
Hearing this, Tian Ning’er was stunned and immediately understood what Su Mo meant.
Tian Ning’er was quite clear about the details of this establishment.
But compared to dealing with the Blood Lotus Sect and Jingxin Hall now, they were more important.
Hence, upon seeing Su Mo and the others at the door, she didn’t want to let them in; she gave Su Mo a stern look, thinking ordinary people would be scared away and dare not enter.
But contrary to expectations, Su Mo and the others still came in.
Tian Ning’er couldn’t stop them, so she secretly kept watch, just waiting for the night’s events to end so they could leave safely.
It was for this reason that when the two got into Su Mo and Little Situ’s room, she could appear at the perfect moment to stop them.
Hearing Su Mo mention it now, her face reddened:
"Let Young Hero laugh... I meddled too much."
With Su Mo’s ability, if those two dared to do anything outrageous, they would have been dead long ago.
Su Mo gently waved his hand:
"Now, the matter of Jingxin Hall and the Blood Lotus Sect colluding is laid bare.
"As Elder Yushu said, it’s undeniable evidence.
"Presumably, the lady won’t need those evil people for future actions."
Hearing this, Tian Ning’er looked at Elder Yushu.
Elder Yushu frowned slightly:
"Indeed, it’s undeniable evidence, but if there could be a bit more corroborating evidence, it would be even better."
"Corroborating evidence..."
Su Mo thought for a moment and then smiled:
"Then let Vice Hall Master Xia write a confession and sign it. What do you think, Elder?"
"..."
Elder Yushu felt like he was hearing something fantastical.
He chuckled wryly:
"Young Hero, you don’t know, Xia Yuan seems slick, but he’s actually very tenacious.
"Even under the most severe torture, I’m afraid he wouldn’t obediently listen to you or me.
"Besides, Young Hero hasn’t laid a finger on him, he surely wouldn’t hope that if you treat him well, he’d treat you the same?"
Su Mo chuckled upon hearing this, then glanced at Xia Yuan, calculated the hour, and flicked his fingers.
Xia Yuan suddenly gasped, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"It’s you... it’s you!!!"
His voice was full of panic and fear.
Su Mo smiled slightly:
"Vice Hall Master Xia is very knowledgeable."
Elder Yushu and Tian Ning’er couldn’t help but perk up their ears, intending to listen to who this scholar really was.
Unfortunately, after hearing Su Mo’s words, Xia Yuan’s face froze, and then he gnashed his teeth:
"Kill me, please kill me!!"
"Alright."
Su Mo nodded:
"If I had to endure this pain day and night, I’d wish for death too.
"However, if Vice Hall Master Xia wishes to die, you’ll need to help me with a little favor."
"Okay!"
Xia Yuan immediately agreed.
Tian Ning’er looked at Elder Yushu in astonishment.
What about the iron-boned spirit? What about the tenacity?
The severe punishment hadn’t even been used yet, how did he become so agreeable?
Elder Yushu instinctively looked at Su Mo, only feeling that this young man was becoming more and more unfathomable.
"I need Vice Hall Master Xia to use his name to clearly write about the Jingxin Hall and Blood Lotus Sect’s collusion activities, and then sign it.
"As long as you write well and satisfy me, I will grant you death."
Su Mo spoke softly.
"...Fine, thank you."
Hearing this, Xia Yuan heaved a great sigh of relief.
Immediately, he said no more, Little Situ went to find a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Tian Ning’er, having good eyes, helped grind the ink.
