Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 568: Chapter 257: Going Home

Su Mo was silent for a long time.

Who knew that you were hiding a roast chicken in your arms?

Seeing that the old man was holding a pig’s trotter, nibbling it with apparent relish, his eyes taking in the lake and mountain scenery, he seemed not to notice anyone else at all.

Su Mo fist-palmed a salute: “Excuse the disturbance.”

Although the old man appeared silently, judging by his demeanor, he seemed to bear no ill will.

Su Mo had no desire to provoke further complications.

Looking at the itinerary, they should arrive at Three Rivers Bay after wu hour today.

Then they would just disembark.

As for the old man…

The fact that Manager Zhan’s boat harbored a skilled expert was something Su Mo had anticipated before.

The reason he had approached earlier was out of mere curiosity; along the way here, the hidden expert on the boat had not shown themselves.

Now suddenly appearing behind him and Wei Ziyi, giving a scare, yet for what reason?

Looking at him now, it seems he really just came for the pig’s trotters, so Su Mo naturally didn’t want to bother him unnecessarily.

Glancing at Wei Ziyi, the two prepared to leave.

But then they saw the old man suddenly retract his gaze, sweep it across their faces, and break into a hearty laugh:

“Good, very good.”

Wei Ziyi frowned: “What’s so good?”

“I see that the two of you have the look of a married couple, naturally it couldn’t be better than that.

“Not only do you look good together, but you’re also likely to reproduce well, and could easily have a couple of children within three years.”

The old man laughed heartily, as if he found much joy in his own words.

Wei Ziyi’s face turned crimson with embarrassment, her brows furrowing as she instinctively glanced at Su Mo.

But she noticed that Su Mo seemed even less concerned about the comment, merely asking with a smile:

“Elder can tell fortunes too?”

“He certainly can’t.”

Wei Ziyi muttered in response, “Don’t make nonsensical comparisons.”

“The young lady shouldn’t be impolite.”

The old man glared at Wei Ziyi upon hearing this.

Was Wei Ziyi scared of him?

She returned his gaze with an even fiercer look: “It’s clearly you, old man, spouting nonsense.”

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, let’s just wait and see.”

The old man huffed and then glanced at Su Mo:

“However, young lady, while your vision isn’t bad, this journey will not be easy on you.

“This young fellow though he hides his brilliance and does not attract unwanted romances, is nevertheless constantly surrounded by love troubles… inescapable, messy, tsk tsk, quite enviable indeed.

“It reminds me of another young man from many years ago…”

Su Mo, dumbfounded: “Elder, I’m afraid you’ve really seen wrongly.”

“Old man’s eyes are as sharp as torches, I would never make a mistake.”

The old man looked at Su Mo with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “Meeting you today is also predestined. Although I cannot give you the roast chicken, there’s another object I would like to gift you.”

“How can I accept a gift without merit?”

Su Mo raised his hand in refusal: “Thanks for your kind offer, elder, but we must take our leave now.”

“Are you sure you don’t want it?”

The old man watched Su Mo calmly.

Su Mo shook his head lightly.

“Never mind, never mind.”

The old man curled his lips: “The mountain and water scenery are at their best, no need for eyesores. Go on, off you go!”

Wei Ziyi got even more annoyed when she heard this; the mountains and waters weren’t his alone.

How were they being eyesores?

But she didn’t vocalize her irritation.

Su Mo was pulling her away by the wrist, quickly leaving the old man behind.

Once the old man was out of sight, Wei Ziyi finally turned to Su Mo:

“Is that the expert from Manager Zhan’s boat?”

“So you thought of it too.”

Su Mo gave a smile.

“I’m not stupid, you know!”

Wei Ziyi was not satisfied with this and emphasized: “I’m very smart, really!”

“Of course, of course.”

Su Mo nodded continuously.

She was indeed very smart when they first met, but lately, she seemed reluctant to use her brains.

“What on earth is the old man’s background?”

Wei Ziyi didn’t care whether Su Mo was sincere in his response or not, she began to ponder the old man’s intentions again.

Su Mo shook his head lightly: “How can I tell when we’ve only just met and he hasn’t displayed his martial arts?”

“That’s true.”

Wei Ziyi smiled: “But with your skills, can you see what his intentions are?”

Su Mo paused, giving Wei Ziyi a thoughtful look:

“Does Miss Wei have some advice for me?”

“…Who dares.”

Wei Ziyi curled her lips: “I just feel that you must have seen something Mystical. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you accept his gift?”

“I can’t accept rewards without merit.”

Su Mo explained.

“…Lying to ghosts?”

Wei Ziyi glanced at him skeptically: “They don’t know you, but do I not understand your character? When you first met Manager Zhan, didn’t you accept the gift of Thousand mile Sight?”

“That’s not the same thing, is it?”

“So tell me, did you see anything or not?”

“There’s nothing to see… Even if there were, it would just be blind guessing.”

Su Mo looked back towards the place where the old man had been, his eyes pondering for a moment, then nudged Wei Ziyi: “Let’s go, go back.”

“Don’t push me, I can walk myself… By the way, why did the old man say you’re beset by romantic entanglements?

“Have you attracted some love troubles?”

“There’s nothing of the sort.”

“It’s clear you’re lying to me.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“I just am, no reason!”

“Without reason, but full of confidence?”

“Exactly! Let me warn you, before you do anything, think of Yang Family Sister…”

…

…

While Su Mo and Wei Ziyi were noisily arguing, the old man sitting on the deck had already finished a pig’s trotter.
