Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning
Chapter 191 - 132: PossibleChapter 191: Chapter 132: Possible
This silver was certainly not meant for Su Mo.
The other party had the little thief put the Mandarin Duck List into the tree hole, so the remainder of the payment was naturally in there too.
As for why the little thief didn’t say anything, it was clear he had his own thoughts and ideas.
The fact that they dared to place the silver there in advance also indicated that they were not worried about the thief taking the silver and the Mandarin Duck List and fleeing.
After opening and glancing inside, Su Mo didn’t touch anything recklessly; it was somewhat dangerous to handle things of unknown origin, so after a quick scan, he tied the bag back up and slung it over his shoulder.
Su Mo didn’t care about the scheming between them; he looked up, scanned around the woods, leapt up and reclined against a clean tree canopy.
From afar, he appeared just like a clump of white snow on the tree canopy.
It wasn’t until one got close that they would realize there was actually a person there.
After gauging the sky, he guessed that even if these people were to come, they probably wouldn’t be arriving just yet.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and circulate his inner breath again, he noticed snowflakes fluttering down from the sky.
In a moment of surprise, he started to laugh.
It suddenly reminded him of a scene while watching The Return of the Condor Heroes on TV, where the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong slept in the midst of heavy snow, with snowflakes landing on him but not melting.
The explanation was that, even in sleep, Hong Qigong’s inner breath was in constant circulation, with warm air condensing inside his body without radiating outward, hence the snowflakes did not melt when landing on him.
Su Mo wondered if his own Longxiang Wisdom Skill at Great Perfection and Bright Sun Heart Technique having reached its peak, could achieve that level when focused.
With that thought, he closed his eyes, letting the snowflakes fall on him, gradually entering a state of total forgetfulness of self and surroundings.
Of course, even though it was a state of forgetfulness, he wasn’t completely oblivious to the outside world.
Any slight discordant movement in the forest would startle him awake.
The heavy snow continued to fall, and amidst the haziness, Su Mo opened his eyes to find himself feeling rather heavy.
He had been covered in a layer of snow.
Movements near his ear made him hear footsteps approaching from afar, and then gradually fading away.
Clearly, someone was passing through the woods in the snow.
Without paying further attention, he opened one eye to check the sky, realizing it was already dawn.
“At this hour, Sister Xiao Yun and the others should have already set off.”
Su Mo mused and closed his eyes once more.
Unable to fall asleep, he decided to calmly circulate his energy; as time swiftly passed, it was already sunset.
Yet the awaited person was still not showing up.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a whooshing sound of rapidly parting air approached.
Immediately regulating his breathing, he quietly waited and indeed saw a middle-aged man appear before the tree hole.
He peered into the hole cautiously at first, and after finding nothing, he retracted his neck and reached into the hole to search.
After a short while, he stood still, dumbfounded:
“How can it be gone? Could he have botched it last night? No, no… If he did, why is the silver gone? No silver, no list…”
He was just muttering to himself when he suddenly became furious.
His gaze swept around the area, but the day’s heavy snow had covered any traces. At that moment, everything that might have been there had disappeared.
He snorted coldly: “How daring, someone wants to covet my things, thinking I’m easy to provoke? Hmm… The silver was coated with Sanjue Powder; he couldn’t have gone far.”
At this point, the man started to turn away, intending to leave.
However, in the next moment, snowflakes filled the sky again.
He momentarily froze, turned back in astonishment, and saw a white figure atop the tree that had appeared there at some unknown time.
Standing tall and secluded, with hands behind his back.
“It’s you!”
The middle-aged man was startled: “You didn’t leave? Where’s the Mandarin Duck List?”
A smirk graced Su Mo’s lips, as he was mistaken for the little thief from the previous night.
Without further ado, he chuckled and took out the Mandarin Duck List from his chest.
“Hand it over!”
Upon seeing it, the middle-aged man immediately reached out to grab it.
Su Mo, however, shook his head.
“What do you mean?”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately became furious: “I gave you your entire reward, even the silver notes and jewels in the box are yours, why won’t you give me the item I want now?”
Su Mo sighed: “Out of curiosity.”
“…”
The middle-aged man only heard these four words but didn’t think twice and turned to run.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Su Mo’s mouth: “Recognized my voice, did you?”
The Divine Transformation was suddenly executed, and in an instant, Su Mo appeared in front of the man and reached out to grab him.
The middle-aged man let out a shout of anger, his hands coming together in front of his chest, followed by a fierce palm strike.
The instant the palms touched, the middle-aged man felt an overwhelming force attack him, sending his body flying backward.
He then saw Su Mo flick his foot, grabbed the flying man’s collar, flung him casually, and ’bang’—the man hit the ground.
Snowflakes once again soared high, fluttering across the sky.
The middle-aged man, first struck by a palm and now by this throw, spat out a mouthful of blood and felt as if all his bones had been disassembled.
His eyes bulged as he looked at Su Mo: “You’re not him, you’re Su Mo!?”
“It is I.”
Su Mo nodded, pulling off the mask from his face and glancing left and right at the middle-aged man before him: “May I inquire as to your esteemed name?”
“Heh…”
The middle-aged man chuckled: “That you don’t recognize me is just as well.”
