Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning
Chapter 1715 - 633: Five Poison Elder (Part 3)"This is not difficult at all."
Little Situ said in a low voice:
"The detoxification technique was something I learned from my elders when I was three. These things you’ve kept are rather intriguing.
"They are somewhat useful to me.
"It’s just right, my... my elder brother has something to do, and these things might be of use in the future.
"This time, I’ll simply take them, lest you use them for harm.
"However, taking your poisonous insects can’t be done for free.
"A simple thank you doesn’t seem enough. Let’s do it this way..."
While speaking, the sound of flipping pages was heard from inside the carriage, followed by a ripping sound.
In the next moment, a hand extended from beside the carriage curtain, holding out two pages of paper.
"On these two pages are my annotations regarding the detoxification technique.
"I presume they’ll be useful to you now.
"Take them as my token of gratitude."
"This..."
The Five Poison Elder never imagined he would receive such a response.
Staring at those two pages, he truly didn’t know if he should accept them.
In the end, the scholar casually took the two pages and handed them over to him.
The Five Poison Elder instinctively took a step forward, glanced at the carriage, and suddenly let out a sneer:
"Little girl, you have great skill, but aren’t you afraid that I might kidnap your coachman and use him to threaten you into handing over the entire script?"
Little Situ seemed stunned when she heard this.
Kidnap Su Mo to threaten me?
You got it reversed, didn’t you?
With such great skill, why waste it on the detoxification technique?
She immediately let out a silent laugh:
"I’m not afraid."
The Five Poison Elder heard Little Situ speak sincerely and knew she was telling the truth.
They weren’t those deceitful words spoken to fool him.
In an instant, his gaze shifted through a myriad of changes.
After a long pause, he let out a long sigh, refraining from accepting the two pages from Su Mo’s hand, instead stepping back and cupping his fists in a respectful salute:
"Today, I have met an eminent one, truly admirable in my heart.
"I, an old man with no merit, dare not accept such goodwill. Consider these little things as gifts to you."
"Oh?"
Little Situ was taken aback after hearing this:
"Then I truly must thank you.
"Cultivating these small creatures must be time-consuming.
"Won’t you feel distressed giving them to me like this?"
"This... does make me feel a bit distressed."
As the Five Poison Elder spoke, his face indeed showed a hint of anguish.
"Is that so."
Little Situ said with a smile: "Outsiders likely don’t know how much effort you put into them. Your generosity makes my small-mindedness shameful, but currently, I don’t know how to repay you."
"I wouldn’t dare."
The Five Poison Elder suddenly said:
"I only have one unworthy request, and I hope the girl can fulfill it."
"Oh? Please, let me hear it."
Yun Mantang felt as if he were reading a heavenly book.
Like falling into a fog, feeling utterly confused.
What’s going on?
Who would’ve thought that the fearsome Five Poison Elder could be so respectful and courteous to a young girl he’s never met before?
Amidst their incredulous expressions, the Five Poison Elder made a statement that made them speechless.
Just then, they heard the Five Poison Elder speak in a deep voice:
"I hope the girl can take me as her disciple! Teach me the complete detoxification technique!!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mantang and the others couldn’t believe their ears.
Who is this person?
The Five Poison Elder!
Although he wasn’t one of the Three Wonders and Five Elders, his martial arts and skills are outstanding.
Today, he is respectful and courteous when addressing a young girl he has never met.
Moreover, he wants to take her as his mentor!
This... This is simply unbelievable!
Su Mo was also somewhat astonished by the old man’s audacity.
He couldn’t help but laugh and ask:
"If our girl doesn’t accept you, won’t you send these small things?"
"Who are you to..."
The Five Poison Elder was instantly furious when he heard Su Mo interject.
Unable to stop himself from wanting to scold harshly.
But remembering the coachman was the ’mentor’s’ coachman, he finally took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"I naturally wouldn’t dare.
"Whether the girl agrees or not, I’ll present these things with both hands.
"However... the Jianghu is vast, meeting a noble one is rare.
"To encounter one now, I wouldn’t want to miss the chance regardless.
"If I have this wishful thinking, I beg the girl not to blame me."
Su Mo thought he made some sense upon hearing this.
Glancing at the Five Poison Elder, he smiled and said:
"Your martial arts far surpass ours, my girl only knows poison techniques and rarely touches martial arts.
"If you want to learn her detoxification technique, why not abduct her directly?
"This appeal is truly asking for the distant over the near."
Fang Hongying and the others nearly couldn’t contain themselves... Such a brazen ’martial arts far surpass ours,’ does this man really not blink when lying?
"..."
The Five Poison Elder widened his eyes, unable to help but scold Su Mo:
"You, you’re simply absurd!
"Such words, how can they be spoken in public? Aren’t you putting the girl in a dangerous situation?
"You... girl, you may not take me as a disciple, but this coachman deserves death!!"
Yet as soon as he said this, Su Mo was amused, while Little Situ in the carriage was angry:
"You, you mustn’t talk nonsense!!"
"...Understood."
The Five Poison Elder furrowed his brow, uneasy.
Though intense in his ways, his life-long study of poisons shows he has a certain childlike innocence.
He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out how he had offended the girl.
Then he heard Little Situ say softly:
"You... forget it, I’ll return these poisonous insects to you; I can’t take you as a disciple.
"Firstly, given your age, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be your mentor.
"Secondly, my elders have not granted permission, so I am not qualified to take on disciples."
The Five Poison Elder showed a look of disappointment upon hearing this but still shook his head and said:
"If that’s the case, then so be it; these small things are gifts for the girl, please don’t refuse them.
"I... ah, I was being vain after all.
"However, I hope the girl will allow me to accompany you on your journey.
"This coachman is truly despicable; if his words spread, someone might harm you.
"Please grant me the kindness to protect you on this journey."
Little Situ didn’t know how to respond and remained silent.
Su Mo, however, asked with a smile:
"Want to travel with us? It’s not impossible.
"But you must first tell me, why are you helping Jingxin Hall?"
"What’s that to you?"
The Five Poison Elder glared at Su Mo once more.
Then, he heard Little Situ’s voice:
"Can’t you say it?"
The Five Poison Elder didn’t even hesitate:
"I can."
Su Mo: "..."
