Chapter 1593: Chapter 597: Setting Out Again
This matter, if you say it is difficult, it is actually not difficult.
If you say it is not difficult, it is not that simple either.
On a smaller scale, it’s a joyous occasion, naturally simple.
But on a larger scale, the fate of the Island Master of Wangyou Island is at stake, involving the lives of all the disciples on Wangyou Island.
She wants to get married, but what about the future of Wangyou Island?
Speaking of which, Su Mo raised his eyes and looked at this Island Master of Wangyou Island.
This woman was extraordinary, lightly sweeping her sleeve:
"Let Wangyou Island be considered my dowry, what does the Supreme Elder think?"
"What a grand gesture!"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "But with such a grand gesture, I’m afraid there’s something you’re seeking, right?"
"The Supreme Elder sees clearly."
The Island Master of Wangyou Island smiled slightly, stood up, and said solemnly:
"Wangyou Island is not like others; it’s unique in Nanhai.
"It is not clean itself, yet it is indispensable.
"The island is more chaotic, and any slight misstep could lead to its destruction.
"With me here, it can still be suppressed, but if I join the Qi Family, I fear Wangyou Island might..."
At this point, she slightly shook her head, then looked at Su Mo:
"Therefore, I boldly request the Supreme Elder’s permission to allow Qi Lang to stay on this Wangyou Island for ten years.
"Within ten years, I will surely cultivate a virtuous and talented disciple to succeed me as Island Master.
"After which, I will formally join the Qi Family and be a good wife of the Qi Family.
"I ask the Supreme Elder to fulfill this request."
Hearing this, Su Mo looked at Qi Shengxuan.
Seeing that he was not surprised, he knew these two had already discussed it.
At that moment, he could only shake his head:
"No wonder you didn’t dare write to me yourself to explain, but designed to trick us into coming here.
"If you were to explain truthfully, I’m afraid the old man would directly come with a knife..."
Qi Shengxuan was immediately very embarrassed.
These ten years may not seem like much, but how can one, after marriage, not live with one’s husband but instead stay at one’s maiden home?
This is no different from marrying into Wangyou Island for ten years, is it not?
For small families, it might be okay, but not so for Qi Shengxuan, who is from the Qi Family. How could Qi Dingtian accept such conditions?
Therefore, they handled it tactfully and asked Su Mo to come for this reason.
Saying it is to use Wangyou Island as a dowry, it is actually to let Wangyou Island become a business of the Qi Family.
And now the Qi Family is one of the forces in the palm of Su Mo.
Thus, Wangyou Island is reluctantly considered as belonging to Su Mo.
They guarded Wangyou Island for ten years, which can be said to be helping Su Mo.
With this buffer in between, they could try to keep Qi Dingtian from considering this as a marriage.
As long as these ten years pass peacefully, it would be all over.
And with Su Mo helping to mediate, the Island Master’s origins in the Qi Dingtian’s side should not be much of a problem.
Everything would then be quickly resolved.
Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, feeling that these two had really gone to great lengths to get married.
His eyes swept over these two people, finally landing on Qi Nian, and he sighed:
"So be it, for Qi Nian’s sake, I will grant this request.
"I will help you mediate..."
"Thank you, Supreme Elder!!"
The Island Master of Wangyou Island was instantly overjoyed.
Qi Shengxuan also repeatedly thanked, full of gratitude and tears.
Then hastily took out a note from his bosom:
"Oh, right, Supreme Elder, please take a look."
Su Mo took it over casually, and it was a seal.
This seal was entirely blood-red, a blood-colored lotus with fresh blood dripping from it.
"Bloodstained Lotus?"
Su Mo looked up at Qi Shengxuan:
"What is this?"
"This is the information you previously asked me to gather for you."
Qi Shengxuan smiled and said:
"The information about guests on Wangyou Island is of utmost importance, and even Wuyou cannot disclose it easily.
"But now that Wangyou Island is considered a family business, it’s only natural that you’d want to check it out.
"Once I set foot on Wangyou Island and investigated this, Wuyou already had someone investigating.
"First, seek out that familiar person who vouched for these women.
"But found that this person had long since disappeared.
"Investigating along the way, they finally found this person’s whereabouts, only to find they had been dead for some time.
"Then turning to investigate the people around this person, they found clues.
"These women... eighty percent of them are from Xizhou."
"According to the relatives of that person, this person loved to wander Jianghu, having previously visited Xizhou. Upon returning, these women accompanied him.
"Only, he treated them as honored guests, not daring to neglect them in the slightest.
"Later he disappeared, and these women were also missing.
"Later it was learned this wasn’t disappearance, but they had long been silenced."
"Xizhou..."
Su Mo’s fingers gently tapped on the table, brows tightly knit.
This investigation surprisingly led directly to Xizhou... which was indeed unexpected.
But he had previously inquired about the people who captured Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and knew they weren’t from Nanhai. Now with Qi Shengxuan’s words, it matched up.
However, Xizhou is vast, and Nanhai’s understanding of Xizhou is quite limited.
With just one seal in hand, it was unclear where to start looking.
While pondering, the Island Master of Wangyou Island spoke softly:
"If the Supreme Elder wants to send someone to Xizhou to search, I happen to know someone who might be of use."
"Oh?"
Su Mo glanced at the Island Master of Wangyou Island:
"Tell me about it."
The Island Master of Wangyou Island immediately said quickly:
"This person claims to be a businessman, with considerable trade under his belt.
