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

Chapter 1590: Chapter 596: Family Affairs

At that moment, Su Mo felt his mind was in a bit of a mess.

Qi Nian’s words contained a lot of information.

Su Mo sorted it out, then began to speak:

"Wait a minute...

"What’s really going on here?

"Your mother is the Island Master of Wangyou Island?

"And why is she holding your father captive?"

"My mother..."

Qi Nian nodded: "That’s right, she’s indeed the Island Master of Wangyou Island... She’s holding my father captive to force him to marry her."

"..."

Great, the martial arts drama has turned into an eight o’clock family ethics drama.

He originally thought he had traveled thousands of miles to rescue Qi Shengxuan from a dire situation.

Unexpectedly, he’s here to mediate a family dispute?

Hold on, is not being married considered a family dispute?

Su Mo, for a moment, didn’t know what expression to use to convey his emotions.

But seeing Qi Nian’s face full of anxiety, he simply said:

"Child... why are you so anxious, isn’t your father and mother’s marriage a good thing?"

After speaking, he felt his words were somewhat absurd.

"... The problem is, my father doesn’t want to agree."

Qi Nian said: "Mother said, if father doesn’t agree to marry her this time, she’ll break his legs and make sure he never leaves Wangyou Island in his lifetime.

"Hero Su, you don’t know my mother, she’s a bit extreme in her nature, but she always keeps her word.

"If she says she’ll break my father’s legs, then it’s certain she’ll do it."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt like laughing:

"What’s really going on, tell me in detail."

Although Qi Nian was anxious, seeing Su Mo’s confused expression, he had to start from the beginning.

The story had to start with these two people’s romance when they were young.

Qi Shengxuan was known as Lord Ruyu, even now in middle age, he was still quite handsome, not to mention when he was younger.

During his adventures in Jianghu, he attracted many young women.

There were female heroes roaming Jianghu and wealthy young ladies who admired him deeply.

However, this did not include the Island Master of Wangyou Island.

Back then, she wasn’t the Island Master yet.

Under the alias Wuyou, she was training in Jianghu, honing her martial arts skills.

After hearing about Qi Shengxuan’s reputation, she loathed him greatly.

She felt that this kind of person was just a pretty shell with little substance inside.

After witnessing many instances of people selling off their sons and daughters on Wangyou Island.

She was naturally distrustful of men.

By chance, the two met on the road.

Had it been in different circumstances, the former young lady Wuyou, now the Island Master of Wangyou Island, might have ’acted on behalf of justice,’ eliminating this Lord Ruyu who was destined to bring harm to women.

But conditions at that time did not permit.

Because before encountering Qi Shengxuan, Wuyou had been besieged by some evil path experts from Jianghu.

They didn’t know her identity, and she certainly wouldn’t use the name of Wangyou Island during her training in Jianghu, otherwise, it wouldn’t be effective.

Though she killed nearly all the masters, leaving one wounded and fled, she herself was seriously injured and unable to pursue.

When she met Qi Shengxuan, her injuries were already severe.

Upon knowing the person’s identity, she was planning to strike immediately, but before she could, she fainted.

When she awoke, she had been rescued by Qi Shengxuan.

For someone who saved her life, even though Wuyou had a harsh and ruthless character, it was difficult to repay goodwill with hostility.

But she held a small expectation in her heart.

She knew her appearance was considered beautiful, and if Qi Shengxuan had harbored even a hint of malice while rescuing her, intending any audacious act, it would then be justifiable to kill him.

However, she didn’t know that Qi Shengxuan was always courteous and reserved.

Despite his reputation as Lord Ruyu, he dared not even glance more than once at women.

He only had the intention to save her, nothing else.

One with sincerity, the other with hidden intent to kill.

Thus, the two spent each day together under such circumstances.

As Wuyou’s injuries improved, those evil path experts attacked again.

From then on, the two traversed together, experiencing life-threatening situations daily. Even in moments of grave danger, Qi Shengxuan never made any audacious moves.

Her perception of Qi Shengxuan silently changed completely.

Finally realizing how poorly she estimated Qi Shengxuan.

Reflecting on her previous thoughts, she felt a bit guilty, and amidst guilt, affection secretly sprouted.

It was also the first time in Qi Shengxuan’s life that he had spent so much time with a woman outside his family.

A natural development of feelings.

After finally shaking off those evil path experts, they expressed their feelings, and things became clear.

Qi Shengxuan planned to lead Wuyou to Tianqi Island, request Qi Dingtian’s blessing, and settle the matter.

But when asked about Wuyou’s background.

The young lady fell silent.

Ultimately, she found an excuse and diverted the conversation.

Qi Shengxuan was born in the honorable Qi Family, son of a Nanhai Alliance elder, a legitimate member of a reputable sect.

But her background from Wangyou Island, though Wangyou Island stands strong in Jianghu, on equal footing with others.

It was uncertain whether Qi Dingtian would accept a daughter-in-law from such a background.

This wasn’t a terribly big issue, a solution could always be found, and at worst, she should talk to Qi Shengxuan.

Seeking a resolution.

However, back then in Wuyou’s mind, it was a matter of paramount importance.
