Chapter 1458: Chapter 552: The Little Monk’s Adventure
Su Mo slept well that night.
By the time he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
The couple got up and tidied themselves, and as soon as they stepped out, they saw Xuanzhen Little Monk waiting on the boat.
Accompanying him were Master Kong Xing and Kong Yan, two great monks.
Upon seeing Su Mo, Master Kong Xing clasped his hands in greeting:
"Greetings, Master Su."
"Greetings, two masters."
Su Mo returned the greeting with a smile and said:
"Your arrival is beyond welcome, please forgive my lack of hospitality."
"No need to worry."
Master Kong Xing spoke softly:
"Sorry for the intrusion, it’s about Xuanzhen.
"As often said, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda.
"Xuanzhen and his companion traveled to Nanhai and were attacked by villains, his companion was abducted.
"If we hadn’t heard about such a matter, it would be one thing.
"But now that we know, we cannot ignore it.
"So I’ve joined my fellow disciples to accompany Xuanzhen in searching for them."
Su Mo nodded and invited the monks to sit down.
He ordered someone to bring tea.
At this point, Su Mo looked at Xuanzhen Little Monk:
"Last night was quite busy, I didn’t have a chance to ask in detail.
"How was Miss Xuanyuan abducted?
"Do you know who the adversary is?"
Xuanzhen Little Monk sighed and shook his head:
"Knowing that would have been good...
"To this day, I’m still confused about the matter.
"These people didn’t seem to be targeting us initially, it was a chance encounter, and they suddenly attacked."
Since Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun got married, Xuanzhen Little Monk teamed up with Xuanyuan Xiaoshan to travel across Nanhai.
One was from Jingchan Temple, the other from Tianxin Sect.
They were both top talents of the younger generation.
But Su Mo’s brilliance was too dazzling, overshadowing them completely.
Though they sincerely admired Su Mo, they weren’t content with remaining mediocre.
This led to their decision to venture out to sea for training.
Their action wasn’t like Su Mo’s, searching for Sea Maps, planning routes with clear objectives.
If anything, they wandered aimlessly, going with the flow.
They often shouted against injustice.
They encountered skilled practitioners of the Evil and were hunted.
They received help from Nanhai Righteous Path.
Met some masters, even gained some guidance.
Thus, their martial arts progressed.
They acquainted themselves with some people from the Nanhai Alliance, receiving plenty of help.
Naturally, they were invited by the Nanhai Alliance to join.
Xuanzhen Little Monk and Xuanyuan Xiaoshan politely declined.
Until then, everything was fine.
Routine, no errors.
The trouble began when they followed Jianghu rumors to Wangyou Island.
That’s when the unexpected happened.
Wangyou Island is unique in Nanhai.
The island hosts Xiaojin Cave and Hero’s Tomb, where everything can be bought with money.
The Island Master possesses supreme martial arts.
The island forbids killing, thus maintaining peace.
Although on Wangyou Island, neither of them planned on indulging in pleasures, as one is a monk, the other a lady, lacking such desires.
Xuanzhen Little Monk wanted to witness the worldly waves to strengthen his mind.
The Tianxin Sect martial arts of Xuanyuan Xiaoshan also rely on insights; more experiences benefit her martial arts greatly.
Soon after arriving, they had a squabble in a tavern.
Opposing them was a young master.
Upon seeing Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and Xuanzhen enter the tavern, he mouthed off indecently.
Neither Xuanzhen Little Monk nor Xuanyuan Xiaoshan was the kind to swallow losses.
And they both conduct themselves rightly.
How could they let others slander them with reckless remarks?
Immediately, Xuanyuan Xiaoshan retorted, silencing the young master.
Xuanzhen Little Monk seized the opportunity to add insults, the two worked seamlessly.
Leaving the gang speechless and their faces alternately pale and flushed with anger.
But restricted by Wangyou Island’s rules, they dared not make a move.
They could only stand, nod furiously:
"Alright, sharp-tongued, I shall see if you dare to be so brazen off Wangyou Island!!"
After speaking, the young master led his men away.
Unfazed, Xuanzhen Little Monk and Xuanyuan Xiaoshan were not rattled by empty threats.
Yet they were on alert, knowing sooner or later, retaliation would come.
They leisurely wandered Wangyou Island for a few more days, deliberately choosing to leave at noon.
Unexpectedly, they couldn’t escape; just after leaving Wangyou Island, a ship intercepted them.
Upon looking up, it was the young master from the tavern.
His martial arts were unimpressive, but he had capable subordinates.
In one-on-one combat, Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and Xuanzhen were unafraid.
But under coordinated attacks, they were stretched thin.
If they could fight, they should fight to the end, if not, they should flee promptly.
Seeing it wasn’t favorable, Xuanzhen Little Monk and Xuanyuan Xiaoshan immediately took to their small boat and fled.
Arriving in Nanhai, this wasn’t their first escape.
But this young master, for unknown reasons, relentlessly pursued them.
For three to five days on end, they were chased; eventually cornered on a deserted island.
By then, Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and Xuanzhen Little Monk had resolved to fight to the last breath.
Once on the island, they had no reservations.
Exerting all their abilities, they fought fiercely, killing some of the enemy’s top fighters, sustaining injuries themselves.
