Capítulo 1146: Chapter 449: Mandarin Duck Gloves (Part 2)

“This matter, traveling across the world, doesn’t make sense, does it?”

“What does the Taoist think?”

Lie Huo Daoist sighed:

“What do you intend to do?”

“I want to ask you sothing.”

“… just ask.”

Lie Huo Daoist’s face darkened, wanting to inquire into sothing yet not speaking directly, why vex ?

Don’t you know I’m seriously injured now?

At this rate, before the injury causes to die, I’ll be angered to death by you.

“How did these people contact you wanting to buy off Xin Huai?”

Su Mo didn’t delay at this point and asked directly.

Lie Huo Daoist slightly furrowed his brows.

The matters regarding the Seven Killings Hall were beyond Lie Huo Daoist’s expectations.

Seeing Su Mo’s inquiry, he didn’t hide anything and explained the matter in detail.

Lie Huo Daoist, having traveled in the Jianghu for many years, was highly skilled in martial arts and also had a knack for making money.

He would use so unique signs to take on commissions.

He conducted matters with money, and his reputation remained decent all along.

The people from the Seven Killings Hall contacted him in this manner.

They wanted him to bring Xin Huai from the Xin Family and Shangguan Jingjing from the Shangguan Family.

They offered a significant amount.

A full thousand taels of gold.

And they had already paid half as a deposit.

This sudden situation, with Xin Huai and Shangguan Jingjing both having backgrounds, made Lie Huo Daoist question whether he feared Shangguan Hongtu and Xin Zhengyan. However, directly offending both families seed unwise.

He wanted to refuse, but they told him not to worry about offending the two major families on Shuangxiong Island.

The two families were also searching for Shangguan Jingjing and Xin Huai everywhere.

With so investigation, Lie Huo Daoist discovered that Xin Huai and Shangguan Jingjing had eloped.

The two families were lifelong enemies, having battled unknown years.

Who would have thought this would happen?

And at such a critical ti, soone suddenly issued such a task, naturally sparking curiosity within Lie Huo Daoist.

Not agreeing imdiately, he used thods to probe the matter slightly.

He learned that the commissioner was from a small power surrounding Shuangxiong Island, nad Wanliang Pavilion.

Wanliang Pavilion had always sought protection from Shuangxiong Island, but neither the Xin Family nor Shangguan Family had acknowledged them.

At this point, they suddenly offered a huge price to capture the two young people.

Most likely, it was to curry favor with Xin Family and Shangguan Family.

Therefore, Lie Huo Daoist accepted the commission.

This is why Lie Huo Daoist told Xin Huai the reason why these people may not have malicious intent.

At this point, recounting the tale once again, Lie Huo Daoist couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he had been manipulated.

In the previous situation, there was a point that made him quite concerned but didn’t truly register.

That was, knowing Xin Huai’s movents, why didn’t they act to capture him themselves?

Why let him do it?

He previously thought it was because they felt their martial arts weren’t necessarily better than the Xin Family’s Eldest Young Master, but tonight was evident, not so.

They were the true form of Seven Killings Hall.

Getting him to act was likely to make him the scapegoat.

If the matter didn’t succeed, it would be fine just now, but if he really handed over Xin Huai, he might not be able to leave the ruined temple.

The Xin Family lost their Eldest Young Master, no one could associate it with the Seven Killings Hall.

But ultimately, soone knew that Lie Huo Daoist was carrying Xin Huai publicly.

And once he died, the Xin Family wouldn’t even have a trace, let alone associate this with Seven Killings Hall.

From this perspective, Su Mo indeed saved his life.

While talking and pondering, saying till here, Lie Huo Daoist couldn’t help but sweat coldly.

“Taoist, you are too rash.”

Su Mo shook his head lightly: “In the Jianghu, how can things be so trivial?”

“…”

Lie Huo Daoist was furious, when had a junior taught him a lesson after all these years in the Jianghu?

He imdiately stared angrily at Su Mo, and upon eting eyes, he suddenly felt there wasn’t much to be angry about…

“Taoist, I have another question.”

Su Mo spoke softly:

“Who is the one commissioning you to do this?”

“I’m not sure of his exact identity either.”

Lie Huo Daoist said: “You know, anyone asking for help tends to be secretive. But later, I found out through investigation that this person is probably a strategist from Wanliang Pavilion, known as Lord Zimu.

“But now it seems, there’s still so doubt.

“When he saw , he was wearing a half mask on his face.

“His beard was gray, and his skin was extrely pale.

“Moreover, on his left hand, he wore a black glove.

“I rember very clearly, the glove had a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it.”

Su Mo pondered, suddenly reaching out to tear open the cloth bag wrapping Xin Huai.

Xin Huai once again saw the light of day.

His eyes looked complex upon seeing Su Mo.

He sighed inwardly, saved by the one least expected to save him.

However, upon seeing Su Mo here, his heart settled down.

At least… he wasn’t sticking with Shangguan Jingjing right now.

Su Mo rely glanced at Xin Huai, already seeing through his thoughts, suddenly speechless.

He looked at Lie Huo Daoist:

“Avoid trouble with two masters, Taoist please.”

Lie Huo Daoist sighed, ca forward, reached out and released Xin Huai’s acupoint.
