Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 355 - 186 First Meeting with Wei Ruhan_2

"The youngest son was born a fool and even choked to death on an egg.

"In my life, I am no hero, but I never imagined I would end up childless."

As Su Mo listened, he found it increasingly odd, although his expression did not change, doubts were stirred within him.

"Fortunately, the heavens showed mercy, leaving a sliver of my bloodline in this world.

"It was folly of my eldest son, yet it turned out to be my lifesaver.

"Since that child was young, her mother and I had great hopes for her.

"Now you know, the overall situation within the Luofeng Alliance is settled.

"My body is worn out, and I could depart this life at any time, leaving them as widows and orphans.

"While I am still alive, I can still stabilize her position as the Alliance Leader.

"But if... I’m no longer here.

"Bereaved widows and orphans will inevitably be exploited."

These words made sense, and Su Mo inwardly nodded.

And from there, Wei Ruhan’s intent was clear.

He wanted to find a support for this mother and child after his passing.

Myself, having slain the Three Commanders of the Youquan Sect with a single sword in Xuanji Valley.

And the battle with the Heavenly Gate Master of the Three Extremes Sect was witnessed by Wu Daoyou.

Moreover, with my clear background, I am the perfect candidate to support his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

As he pondered, he unconsciously picked up his teacup to drink, only to hear Wei Ruhan speak gently:

"Therefore, I plan to betroth Ziyi to you. I wonder what Young Su thinks of this?"

It must be said that Su Mo’s martial arts are powerful and his reactions quick; otherwise, he would have spit out his tea onto Wei Ruhan’s face.

One sentence was about finding support, how did it suddenly turn into finding a grandson-in-law?

Su Mo immediately set down his teacup and coughed lightly—he was indeed a bit choked.

Looking up, he saw Wei Ruhan quietly waiting for his response.

For a moment, Su Mo was at a loss for words, but then seriously said:

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Alliance Leader, but I am already betrothed..."

"Of course, I know you are betrothed,"

Wei Ruhan waved his hand and said:

"However, it’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

"Besides, I’m not forcing you to make Ziyi your chief wife, that position is still reserved for the Yang Family girl.

"If Ziyi marries you, with your support, I will no longer worry about her being bullied in the future."

"...Alliance Leader, you really need not do this."

Su Mo said, "Miss Wei and I are friends, and if she truly faces any difficulties, I would not stand idly by."

"What firmness is there in friendship compared to husband and wife?"

Wei Ruhan shook his head, "Besides, Ziyi will inevitably marry. If it isn’t you, what if she meets someone unworthy later? Wouldn’t the entire Luofeng Alliance fall into the hands of villains?

"How can the undertaking of my lifetime be destroyed overnight?"

"But I have no romantic feelings for Miss Wei, and furthermore..."

Su Mo reached this point, and initially wanted to add ’How could I explain it to Sister Xiao Yun, given our deep love?’

However, he suddenly recalled Yang Xiaoyun’s attitude towards this matter on the night at the Jiaolong Water Fort.

This girl... I don’t know if she lacks sense.

Always trying to plan marriages for me...

If Wei Ruhan indeed talks to Yang Xiaoyun about this, they might even hit it off, putting me in a passive position.

With this thought, he immediately said:

"Moreover, Alliance Leader, I wonder if you have informed Miss Wei about this decision?

"I perceive no romantic feelings from Miss Wei towards me.

"If the Alliance Leader insists stubbornly and disrupts our matches, it will only create discord between us.

"Therefore, please forgive me for being unable to agree."

After hearing this, Wei Ruhan did not speak but only silently looked at Su Mo for a moment.

After a while, he sighed, "What kind of person do you think Ziyi will marry in the future?"

"...This, I don’t possess foresight and cannot predict the future."

"Is it that you cannot see, or do not wish to see?"

Wei Ruhan looked deeply at Su Mo, "After my death, the Luofeng Alliance will be left to them.

"Hua Qianyu’s martial arts are good, but fully controlling the entire Luofeng Alliance is no easy feat.

"Widows and orphans are always exploited...

"Ziyi cannot marry someone ordinary.

"That would mean... she’ll either marry an alliance leader or his descendant, thus gaining people’s hearts and stabilizing the alliance.

"Or she will marry someone highly respected in Jianghu, a master of martial arts.

"This could intimidate those within the alliance.

"She will ultimately not live freely, but according to the will of others."

"...So, by promising Miss Wei to me, are you living according to her desires?"

Su Mo raised his brows slightly. freewebnoveℓ.com

"At least, you won’t betray or harm her."

Wei Ruhan smiled, "Actually, if you had agreed immediately, I would feel uneasy about this matter.

"Young Su, as a clever man, must understand what you could gain from Ziyi being given to you.

"A vast Luofeng Alliance would almost be completely in your grasp.

"Yet even so, you still refused; it shows your deep affection and loyalty to the Yang Family girl."
