Chapter 564: Chapter 255: Full of Twists and Turns_3

Isn’t this just a rightful claim?

The only minor issue is that the Death Order is insignificant to him given his current reputation.

Making a trip specifically for this would seem insufficiently justified.

The best course of action now would be to find an escort assignment heading towards the territory of Wusheng Hall, taking the opportunity to make a stop at Wusheng Hall to settle the matter with Wan Cangxin…

Making everything appear natural and orderly.

Thinking of this, Su Mo smiled, channeling his Pure Yang Inner Strength into his hand holding the letter, which instantly combusted without flame.

It turned to flying ash in just a moment.

Turning back to look at Xu Lu, he saw Xu Lu gazing at him eagerly.

“Su, the Chief of the Escort…”

Xu Lu hesitated slightly, “Have you finished reading it?”

“…I have finished, thank you Hero Xu.”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

Xu Lu hurriedly bowed, “If so, then… that matter?”

“That matter?”

Su Mo paused, “What matter?”

The half of Xu Lu’s face that was not wrapped up suddenly paled:

“Su… Lord Su, you can’t do this…

“…Considering I endured hardships along the way, even if we don’t speak of merits, there were still difficulties, right?

“And ever since then, I haven’t engaged in any petty theft, not to claim I’ve been upright, but I’ve lived more like a human being.

“Please, Lord Su, grant me an antidote.”

Xu Lu pleaded earnestly.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment before he realized, then couldn’t help but cry and laugh at himself.

When Su Mo had caught Xu Lu and brought him to Ziyang Escort Agency, because of the intrigue from Three Extremes Sect over the Mandarin Duck List, he casually played a chess move.

He had sent Xu Lu out to see if he could find some clues about the Three Extremes Sect.

However, this guy was unorthodox, highly skilled in Qinggong, and extremely slippery. Catching him once was easy, but a second time appeared difficult.

So, before letting him go, Su Mo lied that the wine was poisoned.

Then, he used a technique from the Suffering People Scripture to convince him it was true.

He only said that the poison would act once every six months…

Calculating the time, although today was not yet half a year, it wasn’t far off either.

Immediately, Su Mo raised an eyebrow, giving Xu Lu a pondering look.

His journey here was quite difficult, but whether it was due to being entrusted by someone or the effect of the ’poison’, that was hard to say.

By his own heart, Su Mo actually wanted to tell him the truth.

But after a slight contemplation, he thought that it was also no harm to delay.

So he took out many bottles and jars from his bosom, then searched them one by one.

Looking for one that, once ingested, could treat both internal and external injuries… this would be quite suitable for Xu Lu’s current condition.

Xu Lu, on the other hand, was inwardly shocked.

He thought to himself that it’s no wonder even the demons from Eternal Night Valley would call him a Devil!

So many bottles and jars, how many poisons and antidotes might there be?

Beyond himself, how many people was he controlling, overtly or covertly?

He didn’t dare to think too deeply about it; it was frankly too horrifying.

Immediately, he turned his head away, pretending not to see, lest Su Mo get a whim to silence him by killing.

It was just that Su Mo didn’t have the ability to read minds, otherwise he might actually be tempted to silence him.

He always felt that his reputation would some day be ruined by people who like to Capturing Wind and Shadow.

After a while, Su Mo found a Healing Pill for him to take.

Before swallowing it, Xu Lu couldn’t help asking, “This… taking it early, will it cause any problems?”

“No harm.”

Su Mo waved his hand, “The time is nearly due, and it’s safe. If taken too early… severe pain in a hundred acupuncture points, life worse than death.”

Xu Lu immediately nodded and quickly swallowed the medicine.

Moments after the medicine took effect, he felt comfortable all over, and his internal injuries seemed much relieved.

For a moment, he was quite impressed; this antidote truly deserved its name.

Having an effect even on internal injuries showed that it was no ordinary item.

“Thank you, Lord Su.”

Xu Lu immediately gave a fist salute.

Su Mo waved his hand, “What are your plans, Hero Xu?”

“Well…”

Xu Lu hesitated for a moment, “I intend to return to the Southwest and continue my original business.

“Only, for some unknown reason, people on the river are now eager to shout and kill, wanting to take me back for harsh interrogation.

“Lord Su, I swear I don’t even know them.

“I don’t know what has changed.

“Even though I want to go back now, I always have to bypass this river…”

Su Mo listened and found it a bit funny, so he said:

“This is not a big issue, just a misunderstanding. I, Su, have some influence Along the River.

“If Hero Xu is willing, I can help explain the situation, which I believe is not a big deal.”

The matters concerning Qi Shaoming, Eternal Night Valley, and the Night Lord happening on the river were temporarily not relevant to Xu Lu.

He simply didn’t mention them.

Xu Lu, hearing this, was overjoyed: “Really? Then I thank Lord Su immensely.”

“It’s just a minor effort.”

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, “However, I have some urgent matters and need to set off immediately, Hero Xu, with your injuries…”

“No problem, no problem.”

Xu Lu promptly said, “Most of it is just superficial skin injuries, the internal injuries aren’t too severe. Moreover, since taking the antidote just now, I’ve felt much better and can set off at any time.”

“Alright then.”

Su Mo nodded, “If that’s the case, let’s prepare now. We’ll leave in a bit.”

Speaking, he called in Fu Han Yuan and Hu Sandao who were waiting outside, only to see that Wei Ziyi had not left either.

He simply explained his decision to everyone.

Wei Ziyi expressed that she had been away for quite some time and needed to return.

After all, she was the Eighth Alliance Leader of the Luofeng Alliance, and she had come this time only because her sect sent a message; she came to witness the excitement.

The delay in all this was indeed long; if she did not go back now, it would be difficult to justify.

Immediately, Su Mo asked everyone to get ready, while he went with Wei Ziyi to find Duan Song and say goodbye.

However, once they found Duan Song and explained the purpose, Duan Song’s expression became rather strange.

It seemed he was extremely annoyed, as if he had missed a great opportunity.

In the end, his eyes went back and forth over Su Mo and Wei Ziyi several times before he sighed and ordered someone to prepare horses for them.
