Capítulo 781: Chapter 328 Great Hall Order
When Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun returned to Wusheng Hall, dawn was approaching in the east.
Inside Wusheng Hall, it was far from peaceful. People bustled about, figures dashing to and fro.
For them, it had been a sleepless night indeed.
Great events had already unfolded during the day.
From the assassination attempt on Su Mo led by Ding Wugong, to the public trial of the assassin within the hall, and the confrontation on the back mountain.
It led to Wan Yutang being injured and taken away by the people of Dark Hall.
It was thought that would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, even greater turmoil erupted at night.
People from Dark Hall suddenly appeared within Wusheng Hall and began a massacre. The four Hall Masters, along with the comrades from Ziyang Escort Agency, helped encircle and suppress Dark Hall.
In the end, it turned out that Wusheng Hall concealed an Endless Prison.
From within Endless Prison, another Wan Yutang emerged.
Truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth, the minds of the common Wushengtang disciples were completely muddled.
It was said that this true Wan Yutang, their Great Hall Master, had been locked up in the Endless Prison for the past twenty years.
No wonder that for many years Wusheng Hall had been plagued with chaos and factions, yet the Great Hall Master secluded himself in the back mountain, indifferent to it all.
Now, there was an explanation.
The one sitting in the main seat of Wusheng Hall wasn’t the real Wan Yutang at all.
Naturally, he wouldn’t care about the chaos within Wusheng Hall.
But now, the real Wan Yutang has returned.
It was further disclosed that the Lady Wan from below the Endless Prison, along with Hall Master Wen, Hall Master Qin, and Master Rong, had all died at the hands of a shadowy figure in their attempt to save the real Wan Yutang.
If it weren’t for the rescue by Su, the Chief of the Escort, the true Great Hall Master would still not have escaped to the heavens.
Throughout the second half of the night, the lights within the grand hall of Wusheng Hall continued to burn.
After the true Great Hall Master emerged, he began to recount everything from the beginning with the various Hall Masters, while also searching for traces of Dark Hall within the territory of Wusheng Hall.
And it hadn’t stopped even by now.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun casually inquired of a disciple, and hence learned of the aforementioned events.
They looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Wan Yutang, after all, had left some dignity for Lady Wan and those three Hall Masters.
He had not revealed the whole truth.
It must be said that such a disposition was actually quite appropriate.
After all, the internal matters of Wusheng Hall were not matters for outsiders to discuss.
Although both Wusheng Hall and the Luofeng Alliance have their own unspeakable troubles,
the chaos within Wusheng Hall inevitably gives a sense of opportunity.
Now that Wan Yutang, with his words of gold and jade, has said that Lady Wan has been working painstakingly for years just to save him,
he has simplified the complexities of the missteps.
As long as the remaining Hall Masters are rallied and Wusheng Hall’s overall situation is re-consolidated, even with only four Hall Masters left, Wusheng Hall would still stand unshakably in the Southwest.
The two considered that Wan Yutang might still need some time to deal with these matters,
so they decided to first return to their room to wait.
Unexpectedly, their return had already been notified to Wan Yutang.
Before they reached the courtyard where they were resting, Wan Cangxin had already come over:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort.”
“Brother Wan.”
Su Mo greeted with a clasped fist and a smile; he then introduced Yang Xiaoyun to him.
“Brother Wan has yet to meet my Sister Yun. This is my wife-to-be, as well as the Vice Leader of Ziyang Escort Agency, Yang Xiaoyun.”
Wan Cangxin was astonished and instinctively clasped his fist:
“Greetings, Lady.”
Yang Xiaoyun’s face turned red, and after shooting Su Mo a look, she then said:
“Brother Wan, that’s too generous. You are older than my Xiao Mo, I truly cannot shoulder the title of Lady.”
“Ah…”
Wan Cangxin was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said:
“Lord Su’s actions are profoundly unpredictable, always making one overlook his age.
“My apologies.”
Su Mo waved off the matter: “You’re not in the grand hall discussing affairs, why have you come here?”
Wan Cangxin blushed slightly at the question:
“I’m not well-versed in the matters of Wusheng Hall either. Standing… behind him, I was merely part of the backdrop.
“Hearing that Lord Su has returned, father asked me to extend an invitation, so I hurried out, finally a chance to breathe a little.”
“I see.”
Su Mo smiled: “Speaking of which, from today on, you are the Eldest Young Master of Wusheng Hall.
“Brother Wan, your earlier life was fairly hard, but now with father and son recognising each other, you can enjoy family joy.
“It’s like waiting for the clouds to disperse to see the bright moon; congratulations.”
“If it weren’t for Lord Su’s help, where would my fortunes be today.”
Wan Cangxin sighed: “All my life, I’ve been tormented by vile people. After more than twenty years, I’ve only had two good things happen.
“The first was meeting Yilan.
“The second was getting to know Lord Su.
“It is truly heaven’s mercy…”
He paused for a moment then looked at Su Mo:
“However, there is one matter I need to report to Lord Su ahead of time.”
“There have been several matters of life and death between us; if Brother Wan has anything to say, just speak plainly.”
“Mhm, that day in Tianqu City, I intended to die as thanks to the world, but Lord Su displayed Divine Skills and I was fortunate to live.
“Now that I have recognised my father, I do not wish to be known by my original name anymore.
“This cannot be disclosed publicly in Wusheng Hall for the time being.
“Otherwise, the act Lord Su performed before the world that day might be exploited by those with ulterior motives.”
