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

Chapter 199: Chapter 134: Poisoning_3

“So it’s quite pathetic, really, I returned all the stolen goods.

“Those days, I was like a walking corpse, loitering on the streets all day, until someone distributing charity porridge saw me passing by and dragged me for a bowl of porridge.

“And that person who offered porridge, was in fact the master of that household.

“Actually, he’s been doing this for quite some time, every ten days or so, I never paid much attention before, but now, it suddenly felt precious.

“I don’t know if there was something mystical about that bowl of porridge, but after drinking it, I felt refreshed.

“Afterward, I wandered to the end of the world, drifted into the Jianghu, and thus acquired this reputation.

“As for why I became a thief, all my martial arts skills are nothing but oil on the soles of the feet, I flee at the first sign of Jianghu strife.

“The old man taught me all my life, but only taught me to be a thief, it’s the only thing I can do, as for anything else… I really can’t manage.”

He said all this in one breath and gulped down all the wine in his bowl.

For a moment, Su Mo was quite silent.

He sighed softly and picked up the bag that he had placed at his feet upon entering, and placed it on the table.

Xu Lu looked at Su Mo with drunken, bleary eyes: “Su, the Chief of the Escort, what does this mean? You’re letting me go?”

“Indeed.”

Su Mo nodded.

Xu Lu’s spirit surged: “Really?”

“Truly.”

Su Mo said: “But, the wine you just drank, I’ve poisoned.”

“???”

Xu Lu’s eyes widened: “Lord Su, I’ve been utterly honest with you, you can’t do this to me.”

“Don’t get so flustered.”

Su Mo said: “Your hit-and-run tactics are very hard to guard against, I’m still not at ease with you. A little poison makes me feel a bit more secure.”

“…”

Is this human language?

Xu Lu looked incredulously at Su Mo, who appeared perfectly justified.

“Of course, the poison won’t take effect immediately; it will linger in your acupoints, for example, the Shenmen Acupoint in the palm or the Fengshi Acupoint in the leg… if you don’t believe me, stretch out your hand.”

“…”

Xu Lu was hesitant.

Su Mo swept over his Shenmen Acupoint.

The next instant, Xu Lu let out a howl, almost lifting the roof.

In no time, he was writhing on the ground in agony.

Su Mo stuffed a pill into Xu Lu’s mouth and swept over his Shenmen Acupoint again, and the pain instantly vanished.

Xu Lu knelt down with a thunk: “Lord Su… why… why do this to me? Just let me go… I truly will no longer dare to act up in front of you again, as for seeking an opportunity for revenge, even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare!”

“Rest easy, rest easy.”

Su Mo helped him up: “I believe you wouldn’t dare, but I don’t fully trust you, that’s why I poisoned you. The poison will only act once every six months; as long as you come back to Ziyang Escort Agency for the antidote within that time, I assure you, you won’t die.”

“When it acts up?”

“It’ll be like just now, if you can endure it, it’ll pass after about ten days; then you have to wait another six months for the next onset.”

Su Mo continued: “You’ve just taken an antidote, in six months, if you can make me believe that you truly won’t seek revenge, I’ll give you the second antidote.”

“This…”

Xu Lu was stunned but then nodded: “Well, that’s not too bad… Rest assured, I absolutely dare not oppose you anymore.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Su Mo nodded and pointed to the bag on the table: “According to what you said that day, I went to the Banyan Tree Cave, and found silver that they had left there for you. Since I’m letting you go, I brought it to you as well; I couldn’t very well embezzle your compensation, right?”

“This, how embarrassing…”

Xu Lu was momentarily at a loss; first you poison me, then you return the silver to me, what exactly does Su Mo want?

“But don’t get too happy just yet, I’ve heard them say they’ve poisoned the silver with Sanjue Powder, it’s toxic, you must be careful when you use it, lest you lose your life.”

“!!!”

Xu Lu suddenly widened his eyes: “Sanjue Powder!? They… they actually want to silence me by killing me?”

“That I don’t know. Actually, I haven’t really heard of this Sanjue Powder before.”

“I have, there’s a Sect called the Three Extremes Sect, very secretive, rarely making an appearance. But they have this Sanjue Powder, a poison that causes instant death upon entering bloodstream, incurable once afflicted.”

Just now Xu Lu was sweating with pain, the alcohol half sobered up, and now he was startled into sweating coldly.

Imagine, if it wasn’t for Su Mo making the trip on his behalf, and he had spent the silver without knowing any better, wouldn’t he already be long dead?

“Ah…”

Su Mo sighed: “The winds and storms of Jianghu are relentless; you have had a tough fate since childhood, and now traveling the Jianghu, you must be extra vigilant. Well, I won’t keep you any longer, take the silver, do with it what you will. The mountains are high and the rivers long, we shall meet again someday, let’s say goodbye for now.”

“Really?”

Xu Lu still couldn’t quite believe it, he picked up the bag, tentatively walked out the door, and seeing Su Mo did not come after him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile, he said: “Lord Su has a generous and straightforward nature, truly admirable. If so, when mountains and rivers meet, we shall meet again in the future.”

As he spoke, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, but didn’t jump up…

Both looked at each other, speechlessly, Su Mo slapped his forehead: “My fault, my fault.”

He quickly went over to unblock Xu Lu’s acupoints, and Xu Lu once again cupped his hands: “Farewell!”

He touched his toes, and with a whoosh, was on the roof, yet somehow, his footing gave way, almost falling over. After changing his footwork technique several times, he finally stood steady and looked back at Su Mo.

Once more they looked at each other, speechlessly.

Xu Lu gave a dry laugh: “Had a bit too much to drink, my legs are a little weak…”

“Understood, understood.”

Su Mo waved his hand: “You should rest early when you get back.”

“Farewell, farewell.”

After saying goodbye three times, he truly left.

Su Mo was left both amused and bemused; after pondering for a moment, he turned and went back to the Martial Arts Arena in front of the building.
