Chapter 1867 683: Deep in the Clouds (Part 2)

Jiang Lan sighed deeply, lamenting the fickleness of human nature.

He merely spoke the truth, yet how did it seem that his reputation was ruined?

Su Mo, on the other hand, carefully opened the medicine packet, pouring it bit by bit into Di Wu Jing's mouth.

Trying not to let a single bit spill.

Di Wu Jing forced himself to swallow the humiliation and consumed all the powder.

A bitter taste spread in his mouth.

Su Mo looked at the medicine packet, and instead of discarding it, he folded it neatly and slipped it into his pocket, pulling out a small porcelain bottle in the same motion.

"This is an elixir for healing injuries."

"???"

Having taken the medicine, Di Wu Jing was a bit confused:

"Then what was that earlier?"

"That was the Soul Loss Potion, don't worry about it, it won't harm you."

Su Mo poured an elixir from the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into Di Wu Jing's mouth:

"Take this one, it will truly help you heal.

"Afterwards, when entering the deep in the clouds, I'll need Di Wu Jing's help to strategize.

"It's ultimately not good to burden yourself with this severe injury while working for me..."

Di Wu Jing frowned deeply, feeling that Su Mo's words were out of place.

Once inside deep in the clouds, why would I work for you?

Yet just as this thought arose, he suddenly felt a fuzziness in his mind.

Clearly, he was here now, but there was a subtle sensation that made him think he was soaring in the clouds.

Floating gently, confused and bewildered.

He knew what was happening in his heart, but his mind was becoming increasingly muddled.

Su Mo's voice seemed to be coming from far away.

And the voice seemed to grow louder, each word landing firmly in his heart, engraved as if by a chisel, hard to change.

"You… what on earth… did you… feed me..."

Di Wu Jing asked with difficulty.

Su Mo was a bit surprised:

"Di Wu Jing can still maintain some clarity at this point, truly extraordinary.

"Of course, it might also be because the medicine, when consumed dry, isn't that potent.

"Well, listen as I speak...

"On this journey, once you leave deep in the clouds, you'll find that there's a traitor within Jinglong Association..."

"Jinglong Association… has… a traitor?"

Di Wu Jing's eyes filled with confusion, nodded slightly, his voice firm as iron:

"Yes, there is a traitor within Jinglong Association! Extremely sinister!!"

"This person seeks to overthrow Jinglong Association, plotting secretly, and you caught a hint of it.

"But finding this traitor proves to be extremely difficult.

"You know all the Jing Huangs of the Jinglong Association.

"None of them seem like a traitor.

"You dare not act rashly, lest you hurt the brotherly bond, or inadvertently alert the snake in the grass."

Su Mo coaxed systematically.

Di Wu Jing nodded repeatedly:

"Exactly so."

"Thus, you sought our help."

Su Mo pointed to himself:

"I am Wu Daoyou, acquainted with you for many years, and you have always treated me as a confidant.

"You also know my extraordinary skills, certainly able to help you find this traitor."

"Brother Wu!!"

Di Wu Jing looked at Su Mo, solemnly spoke:

"The centuries-old foundation of Jinglong Association must not be destroyed by this traitor, please help me Brother Wu!!"

"Of course."

Su Mo nodded repeatedly:

"Deep in the clouds has always barred outsiders, but as Di Wu Jing, you naturally have the ability to invite us as guests.

"But... as guests, we must not act rashly, for investigating the traitor will have many inconveniences."

"In this regard, allow me to assist with efforts."

Di Wu Jing quickly said:

"Brother Wu, just give the command, and I shall comply without question."

"That is good."

Su Mo nodded, glanced again at Wei Ziyi and Zhen Xiaoxiao beside him, and said with a smile:

"These two, one is my soul mate, and the other my sister."

"Greetings to you both."

Di Wu Jing, lying on the ground, cupped his fists in salutation.

Wei Ziyi returned the gesture, while Zhen Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach, her face filled with worry.

"There's one more thing..."

Su Mo said:

"On this journey, you encountered a strong enemy and were accidentally injured by them, but fortunately, the injury is now negligible, do not dwell on it."

"Indeed."

Di Wu Jing nodded repeatedly:

"In the Jianghu, getting injured is a common occurrence."

"Good."

Su Mo smiled: "That's good."

Jiang Lan stood to the side, gaping in astonishment:

"You… what sort of trickery is this?

"Playing house?"

Su Mo glanced at him and didn't respond.

Di Wu Jing's eyes gradually lost their dazed look, letting out a long breath:

"Brother Wu, truly I am useless, even managed to get injured… Help me up, though the injury is minor now, I still find it somewhat difficult to move."

"Naturally."

Su Mo reached out to help Di Wu Jing off the ground, smiling as he spoke:

"Old brother, this matter should not be delayed, issues concerning Jinglong Association cannot be postponed.

"Let's go in now."

"Alright."

Di Wu Jing nodded, yet he couldn't help but add:

"Brother, once inside, you must stay at my residence.

"The First Shock almost never intervenes with the people we bring in; we handle it ourselves.

"But if you wander freely, it may cause misunderstandings.

"There are many experts inside, an accidental misstep could bring disaster."

"I understand fully."

Su Mo nodded.

"That's good."

Only then did Di Wu Jing relax, but he sighed again, looking towards deep in the clouds and spoke in a solemn tone:
