Chapter 760: Chapter 321: Master!
“Jun Luo!”
Wan Yutang’s face darkened, and he thought of getting off Wan Cangxin’s back.
However, Wan Cangxin refused to let go, and wrapped all the chains on his body around his own chest.
Li Xuechun drew his sword with a clang, but after looking at the sword in his hand, he really had no confidence.
Today, he and Wan Yilan were captured by this Jun Luo.
He didn’t miss the chance to fight back, but this person’s martial arts originated from the same source as his own.
He was well-versed in the moves Li Xuechun used. Before even completing a move, he would already fall into the opponent’s trap, completely unable to counter.
Now, even with a sword in hand, he didn’t feel like he would be a match for his opponent.
Xu Lu then lifted the One-legged copper man in his hands, which was a bit heavy… Eventually, he decisively placed the Copper Man behind him and watched cautiously as Jun Luo, who had already approached, shouted sternly:
“Stop right there!”
“Huh?”
Jun Luo glanced at Xu Lu: “Considering the distance between you and me, whether I stop or not, killing you is just a matter of thought.
“Even if I stop now, do you really feel safe?”
“…”
After thinking it over, Xu Lu spat out in disbelief:
“That’s absurd, do you know who my master is?”
“Oh?”
Jun Luo looked somewhat surprised: “I’ve yet to ask for your master’s name.”
“My master is the number one person in today’s Donghuang, Su Mo from Luoxia City’s Ziyang Escort Agency!
“If you let us go today, I could possibly put in a good word for you in front of my master, who might then spare your life.
“If you insist on being relentless, once my master arrives, you can beg for life but won’t receive it, beg for death but won’t achieve it!”
This was not a false threat or deceit. In Xu Lu’s heart, Su Mo indeed possessed the ability to leave people neither able to live nor die.
His past regard for Su Mo was more fear than respect.
Now, after more interaction, his fear has somewhat subsided, replaced by greater respect.
However, the impression of his master’s skill in administering poison, making one’s life hang in the balance, remained vivid.
Upon hearing these words, Li Xuechun was taken aback: “Su, the Chief of the Escort, you actually have such a grown disciple?”
“What did you say?”
Xu Lu immediately looked displeased upon hearing this: “I’m his disciple, not his son, why couldn’t I be this big?”
After mulling over the comment, Li Xuechun felt it made sense.
Wan Yutang, however, found it a wonder to hear.
Throughout their journey, he had heard the name Su Mo more than once.
But what kind of person was he really?
He also knew that this person seemed to have saved his own son’s life.
Now that his successor was also involved, he quickly said:
“Young brother, being a successor of such a hero, you should not lose your life rashly here.
“Quickly leave and call your master to save us.”
Xu Lu’s mouth twitched. Did he not want to leave?
If he could, he wouldn’t have encountered Wan Yilan today.
Not to mention that their retreat was blocked, even if the way out was wide open, within the Endless Prison’s tricky and confusing paths, he wouldn’t know which way to go.
“Hahaha.”
Jun Luo laughed heartily and shook his head slightly:
“In recent years, I haven’t laughed as much as I have today.
“If you all manage to survive after today, I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of Jianghu anymore. You would surely gain much from putting on plays instead.”
With that, he turned his gaze to Wan Yilan and sighed softly:
“Lan’er, come here.”
“Junior sister?”
Li Xuechun frowned upon hearing this, looking towards Wan Yilan.
To him, today’s events were utterly incomprehensible.
The martial arts he and Wan Yilan had learned were imparted by the Great Hall Master Wan Yutang and shared a common origin.
The martial arts used by the person who captured them today belonged to the same origin, but were much more formidable.
At that moment, he began to suspect the identity of this person.
Following the conversation between Lady Wan and himself, he had some speculation, and now, seeing the tone and attitude of Jun Luo when speaking to Wan Yilan, he became even more certain.
However, the words that came out of this man’s mouth now were definitely not trustworthy.
So, he gazed at Wan Yilan with a hint of worry.
Wan Yilan, though, had heard all of their previous conversation and her mind was tumultuous.
She also came to understand many things.
At last, she realized why her parents didn’t care about her.
Both of them were ambitious – what would they care for a mere daughter?
She also understood why Wan Cangxin had left last time without even seeing her face.
Otherwise, why would she be kept in the dark by them?
Today, as Wan Cangxin and his son recognized each other with mixed emotions, the Wan Yilan who knew the truth about her origins could hardly remain unaffected.
Yet, looking at Jun Luo in front of her, who didn’t even wish to reveal his true face, she simply shook her head gently.
“Hmm?”
Jun Luo looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly:
“Why won’t you come? Ah, I see, you don’t know who I am. I am your father.
“When you were little, didn’t you love sitting on my lap, and with every shake, you would laugh, so innocent and lovable.
“Now you’ve grown up, and with a beloved man in your life, you’re setting your father aside?
“Hmm… You like Wan Cangxin, don’t you?
“Ha ha, he initially thought you were his biological sister, but indeed it’s not so.
“You are the child of me and Lady Wan, while he is the offspring of Wan Yutang and the lotus-picking maiden by Qingshui Lake.”
