Chapter 296: Separation
Listening to Fang Qian's words, Long Qingping's face turned pale, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
She said in a trembling voice, "Master, she ...... I have found Mr. Su...... How could Master suddenly become seriously ill......"
The rest of the room was silent. Chen Ao walked over, patted Long Qingping's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, let's figure things out first!"
Long Qingping's heart warmed and calmed down a little. She pulled Fang Qian to sit down and asked, "Senior sister, what's going on, you speak slowly!"
Fang Qian took a sip of the tea handed over by Zhao Ling and said, "Senior sister, you said that you would go to the Central Plains to find Mr. Su that day. Later, when Master found out, he was angry and worried. She knew that you had never been to the Central Plains, and she wanted to come out to find you in person for fear that something bad would happen to you. Who knew that there was a sudden storm at sea, and it was difficult for ships to go to sea. At this time, it happened that several fishing boats were trapped at sea on the island. Master could only hold on to his sick body and go to sea to rescue. The man was saved, but Master's illness also worsened. Coupled with her concern for your safety, the illness became more and more serious as time went on. Sisters, there is really no way, that's why I came to you to go back!"
When Long Qingping heard that most of her master's illness was caused by her, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry bitterly, blaming herself incessantly. Chen Ao patted her on the back and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I'll go and arrange the boat." Tomorrow morning, I'll be able to let you go!"
Long Qingping nodded while crying, and sobbed, "Thank you......"
Chen Ao smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for telling me." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Zhuo. Chen Ao knew that Long Qingping's master was Su Zhuo's old friend, and it was best to let Su Zhuo go and meet him.
Su Zhuo looked at Wei Xiu. Wei Xiu shrugged her shoulders, naturally guessing her husband's thoughts, and said, "See what I do? Am I so unreasonable? The illness of this Dragon Island Lord was caused by a heart disease. Maybe as soon as I see you, this disease will be cured all at once!"
Su Zhuo smiled bitterly twice and said, "If this is the case, then I will also be considered a complete merit!"
Chen Ao said to Long Qingping: "Did you hear it, Mr. Su promised to go back to Wushuang Island with you!"
Long Qingping was surprised and delighted: "Really!"
"Of course it's true!" Chen Ao smiled, "Okay, don't worry about being sad yet." I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and there's still a lot to do today!"
Having said that, this wine naturally can't be drunk. Everyone divided up and prepared, and they all got busy. Zhao Ling instructed the Yan Gang disciples to prepare ships to go to sea, while Liang Xiaoya went to beckon people to prepare dry food and fresh water for them.
Wei Xiu needs to entrust Hua Niansu and Ling Hanyu to the people of Mochizuki Tower, and let Mochizuki Tower be responsible for sending them home. Chen Ao comforted Long Qingping and sent her and Fang Qian back to the room.
Seeing that the night was already very deep, Chen Ao stood alone in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, I originally thought that this year's annual meeting would be very lively, but who knew that it would be all gone all at once.
He smiled bitterly and walked towards his residence, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Su Zhuo standing in the courtyard, as if waiting for him.
Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully: "Master!"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "The Salt Gang has been decided, but I have to go to sea, and I can't help you by your side!"
Chen Ao was flattered and said, "Master, don't say that. Master has taken great care of me. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many times I lost this little life. ”
Su Zhuo smiled: "You don't have to be presumptuous. I promised to take you as an apprentice, and I was worried that it would be the worst decision I ever made. In hindsight, the decision was not wrong, but wise. ”
Chen Ao couldn't help but be triumphant, and laughed: "Really? haha......
Su Zhuo said: "Although you kid is said to be oily and smooth, it is not boundary. But fortunately, he has a good character, loyalty and kindness. This is much better than those people on the rivers and lakes who are dignified and call themselves heroes. And although you don't know martial arts, you have your own strengths, and your skills are not small. Although I am your master, I have not taught you anything, but I have learned a lot from you!"
Chen Ao touched his head and said with a smile: "After Master's words, I found out that I am so good!
Su Zhuo smiled: "Don't get carried away first. There are a few more important things to be entrusted to you as a teacher!"
Chen Ao's face turned grim and he said, "Master, just give orders!"
Su Zhuo took out a sign from his arms and handed it to Chen Ao. Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Isn't this Zhao Ling's token of the Ghost Hidden Society?"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Zhao Ling, this kid is very good by nature, but he followed the wrong teacher when he was a teenager. Now Zhao Ling is both good and evil, even if it is me, I can't figure out her mind!"
Chen Ao felt the same way, and thought to himself, but no, I can't figure it out!
Su Zhuo continued: "And the Ghost Hidden Society she led is not simple. Mochizuki Tower wanted to admit these people, but in vain, he could only find a place to place these people. I think that without this token, it is naturally impossible to mobilize this force. I'll give it to you for safekeeping now. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary. Don't let it fall into Zhao Ling's hands!"
Chen Ao nodded, and suddenly felt that the token in his hand weighed a thousand catties. He hurriedly hid the token close to him, for fear that Zhao Ling would know.
Su Zhuo nodded, and suddenly there was another thing in his hand. It was a quaint scroll, and it looked very familiar. Chen Ao exclaimed, "Six Reincarnations!Master, how did you get it!"
Su Zhuo said: "You went to the cemetery to look for this book, right? Zhao Ling's little action, how could it escape my eyes." I've asked her for this book, and I wanted to keep it for myself. But...... I think it's better to leave it to you. ”
Chen Ao was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, you love jokes, right? I don't know martial arts, how can I hold it?"
Su Zhuo said: "There is a very strange and strange martial art recorded in this book, which is extremely powerful. No matter who it is, they can't resist the temptation of such martial arts. And you're the only one who isn't at all impressed by this book. I have a lot of connections with this book, and I can't bear it. You take it, hide it, or destroy it. As long as it doesn't fall into the wrong hands!"
Hearing this, Chen Ao took the book, and without hesitation, leaned over to the candle flame of the lantern and lit it. In a few moments, a book that everyone wanted was reduced to a pile of ashes. He smiled and said, "Master, this is what you said, even if it is ruined." Now it's all over the place, there is no more trouble, and everyone doesn't have to fight! I'm not interested in martial arts, but I'm very nervous about my own life. So I can only get rid of this next volume, and please don't blame Master!"
Su Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he was also a little relieved. He went through more than ten years of twists and turns for this book, and today he finally saw the book turn into ashes with his own eyes, which can be regarded as a broken knot.
After a while, he said, "There is one last thing, don't let Zhao Ling get close to Grandpa Liang in the future!"
