Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 338 - 180 Renovation_3

Yang Xiaoyun clutched Su Mo’s arm and sneakily pinched it hard.

Although she could not really hurt him, and Su Mo didn’t feel any pain, her clenched teeth and the mix of shyness and anger in her ferocity were crystal clear.

Su Mo understood then, no matter how valiant and unyielding a heroine appeared...

When the moment came, shyness would still reveal itself.

Amid their playful chatter, the two arrived at the front hall where the Escort masters were practicing on the Martial Arts Arena.

Honing their strength, they diligently practiced their own martial arts.

This was something that could not be neglected at all.

While escorting on the roads of Jianghu, who knew when one would encounter peril?

A moment of carelessness and negligence in martial arts progression could very well lead to a tragic death in Jianghu.

However, everyone felt a bit uncomfortable practicing today.

Because there was an additional little spectator.

Zhaodi sat on the steps, holding a split steamed bun stuffed with bits of meat and salty radishes in her hand.

For Zhaodi, such a meal was once an unimaginable delicacy.

The meat bits and salty radishes were one thing, but the white steamed bun was far too precious a treat.

On any other day, she would have savored every bite, but today she didn’t eat at all, holding the bun while intently watching the group of men and women practicing martial arts before her eyes, as if she couldn’t take her eyes off them.

She thought all of them looked incredibly strong.

Especially some of the female bodyguards who either made their swords dance or thrust their spears like dragons, utterly captivating her.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun came over just in time to see this, exchanged a glance and shared a smile.

Yang Xiaoyun sat down next to Zhaodi.

Zhaodi startled, but upon realizing it was Yang Xiaoyun, quickly covered her eyes and pleaded, "Sis... Sister Xiao Yun... I didn’t steal any martial arts skills... Please, please don’t hit me..."

"You know about stealing martial arts?"

Yang Xiaoyun was rather surprised: "Where did you hear about that?"

"...From my father."

Zhaodi said quietly: "He told me about someone from our village, a big brother who went to the city to sell vegetables and saw some Jianghu people with swords and sabers. He envied them so much... and it just so happened that there was a martial arts school in that county.

"He intended to save up money from selling vegetables and then go learn martial arts.

"But after he inquired, he found out he was too old and the martial arts school wouldn’t accept him.

"He didn’t take no for an answer and sneaked into the martial arts school’s backyard, climbed over the wall trying to see how they practiced...

"But he was caught, accused of stealing martial arts, which is a great taboo in Jianghu.

"They wanted to cripple his martial arts... but found out he had none.

"Some suggested breaking his tendons in the hands and feet.

"In the end, it was the martial arts school’s headmaster who said since he wasn’t from Jianghu, such severity was not warranted.

"A beating to teach him a lesson would suffice."

This story, evidently deeply ingrained in Zhaodi’s memory, was recounted without a single stutter.

And in all the time since she’d been saved by Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, this was the first time she talked so much.

Su Mo chuckled: "Stealing martial arts is indeed a major taboo in Jianghu. Whether it’s martial arts schools or Jianghu Sects, this is the foundation of their existence, and they truly don’t tolerate outsiders spying."

"Uncle Su..."

Hearing Su Mo speak like this, Zhaodi became even more frightened.

Su Mo’s mouth twitched slightly: "If you stole their martial arts, indeed you should be punished."

Hearing this, Zhaodi’s eyes welled up, but she forcefully held back tears.

"Stop scaring her."

Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo a look and hugged Zhaodi close: "It’s okay, Zhaodi, don’t be afraid. Your Uncle Su is just teasing you.

"He has the kindest heart. To save your life, he stayed awake day and night for three days, protecting your Heart Meridian without fail to bring you back."

"Um..."

Zhaodi nodded: "So, if Uncle Su punishes me for stealing martial arts... I won’t cry."

"Not crying..."

Su Mo was torn between laughter and tears, stroking his hand across Zhaodi’s forehead: "Eat well, if you want to learn some skills, your Sister Xiao Yun will teach you later."

"Really?"

Zhaodi’s eyes widened as she looked towards Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun paused for a moment then suddenly smiled: "Xiao Mo, why not directly take on a first disciple?"

"Uh?"

Su Mo looked at Zhaodi, pondered for a moment: "That’s not entirely impossible... However, if I take you as my first disciple, I can’t teach you anything but real skills.

"But the problem is, everything I’ve learned is unsuitable for a woman to cultivate.

"Besides, if you receive the True Inheritance, you’ll inevitably be traveling in Jianghu.

"Zhaodi is still young, this... may not be as she imagines."

"That’s true..."

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: "Now I can understand some things... Generation after generation of legacy, it’s hoped that the next generation can live happily and peacefully."

"It’s a pity, things seldom go as wished."

Su Mo shook his head: "Let’s eat first, and Zhaodi, don’t be hasty. I’ll think it over before deciding whether or not to pass on my martial arts to you."

Zhaodi nodded repeatedly, and Yang Xiaoyun, following the flow, picked her up and started walking inside.

But at that moment, hurried footsteps arose, with the newcomer clearly both anxious and rushed.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun turned their heads to look and saw a servant running in, panting.

After passing the Martial Arts Arena and looking up, he saw Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

He hesitated, seemingly wanting to speak but hesitating.

Su Mo frowned slightly: "Speak up, what’s with all that panic?"

"It’s... the Chief... outside, someone is seeking an audience, says it’s Iron Blood Escort Agency’s Captain Zhang."

The servant stammered up to this point, glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, then continued:

"He, he brings news, saying that, at Haoran Academy, Chief Yang has been harmed by someone!"

Su Mo turned sharply towards Yang Xiaoyun. Yang Xiaoyun was a step slower to react, then her face turned pale with panic, and she asked hurriedly:

"What... What did you say? Say it again!?"

The servant’s head hung lower, and he said softly:

"The people from Haoran Academy said, Chief Yang has been harmed... His body is still within Haoran Academy, please... the Vice Leader is requested to go, to take care of the aftermath..."
