1849 Tension
San San walked to the edge of the barrier and looked back at the two of them.
Chu Liuyue nodded calmly at him. Only then did San San extend his hand.
A cluster of dark blue flames suddenly surged out and covered the barrier!
Perhaps because of the deep impression of what he had just seen, San San’s heart was still in his throat when he attacked.
When he saw that the flames were burning as usual and had successfully opened the barrier, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately… It seems that Master’s attack hasn’t affected the entire small space much. Otherwise, it would probably be difficult for us to go out today. Then, I wouldn’t know how to explain to the people outside.
San San composed himself and walked out of the gap in the barrier! The two of them followed closely behind.
After the three of them disappeared, the barrier closed again.
Peace returned to the small space.
…
As soon as San San came out, he saw a few people waiting outside.
They were dressed in black robes, with two swords emblazoned on their left chest.
These people were from the Black Sword Sect. Moreover, he knew the leader of the group.
“Lord Mo Lin, why are you here?” When he looked up, San San had already put on an earnest and enthusiastic smile and walked over quickly.
Mo Lin’s status in the Black Sword Sect wasn’t low either; he was Mo Yun’s right-hand man. Many things were handled by him on behalf of Mo Yun. Therefore, when San San saw him, his attitude was also very enthusiastic.
Mo Lin and the others were waiting impatiently. When they saw San San come out, their expressions softened.
“Boss San.” Mo Lin stepped forward.
He looked to be in his 30s. He was tall and thin, with ordinary facial features. Only his eyes were sharp and cold, exuding shrewdness and ruthlessness.
“I called you a couple of times just now, but you didn’t respond. We thought you weren’t inside anymore.” His lips curved as he spoke, but his eyes were still cold.
San San didn’t dare to underestimate him at all. He hurriedly smiled and explained, “Lord Mo Lin, I’m really sorry. I was busy handling some herbs inside and didn’t hear you for a moment. After hearing you, I quickly came out. Please forgive me!”
Mo Lin sized him up.
San San’s round face was red, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He was panting slightly and looked like he had indeed rushed out. However, he didn’t know that San San was only like this because he had been shocked by his master just now.
Seeing San San like this, the dissatisfaction in Mo Lin’s heart dissipated a lot, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded. “Hehe, Boss San, don’t be nervous. We came too suddenly this time. I’m really sorry to disturb you.”
San San smiled eagerly, but he had already cursed the other party’s ancestors in his heart. Sorry? I can’t see that the other party is sorry at all! If he really didn’t want to disturb me, he shouldn’t have appeared at Clear Water Cliff at this time! He shouldn’t have kept calling my name endlessly!
He has already done what he shouldn’t have done. Saying ‘I’m sorry’ at this time is simply taking off his pants and farting—it’s unnecessary!
“Lord Mo Lin is busy every day. Why are you free to come here today? Is there something important?” San San still had to survive, so he was still very polite.
Mo Lin said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that our people realized—”
Before he could finish, his gaze focused on Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue, who had just come out from behind San San.
“These two are…” A look of suspicion came into his eyes.
San San immediately laughed. “These two are my pharmacy’s servants. It’s normal for Lord Mo Lin not to know them.”
When they came out today, the two of them had specially dressed up. At the very least, they looked ordinary.
Mo Lin frowned.
San San did bring his followers over usually, so there was nothing strange about it. But for some reason, he felt that these two servants looked… unusual.
He couldn’t tell what was wrong.
He stared suspiciously at them again.
San San took a step forward and deliberately blocked Mo Lin’s line of sight. Then, he smiled and rubbed his hands. “I’m really sorry, Lord Mo Lin. My two servants are new and don’t know the rules. If they’ve offended you, I hope you can forgive them! Haha!”
Seeing that there was indeed nothing suspicious about the two of them, Mo Lin looked away. They’re just two servants and aren’t worth me wasting time and energy for nothing. We have other motives for coming today.
“Boss San, we actually came here this time to ask you for a favor.”
San San was stunned. “Lord Mo Lin, please speak.”
Mo Lin raised his hand and pointed at a mountain not far away. “A few of us are trapped at Blue Peak and can’t come out for a while. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble Boss San to go and help.”
As soon as Mo Lin said this, San San’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Me?” San San raised his hand and pointed at his nose. If their people are trapped in Blue Peak, they could’ve saved them themselves. Why did they come looking for me? Has Mo Lin’s brain been kicked by a donkey?
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu stood silently at the side and tacitly reduced their presence. However, they naturally heard these words clearly.
Hearing this, Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. There are countless people in the Black Sword Sect who are stronger than San San. There are only two possibilities for them to look for San San.
First, they are just finding an excuse to lure San San to Blue Peak. However, this excuse is too lousy. The people from the Black Sword Sect don’t seem to be like this.
Secondly, they are really here to ask for San San’s help, and only San San can help. If that’s the case, things will be very subtle…
San San thought quickly and reacted. “No problem! Since Lord Mo Lin has personally asked, I’ll naturally not refuse. How can I refuse? Blue Peak, right? Let’s go now!”
Mo Lin suddenly raised his hand to stop him. “Wait.”
San San’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s the matter?”
Mo Lin raised his chin. “Boss San can just follow us alone. As for these two…”
It meant that they had to stay.
San San was in a difficult position; he was really in a difficult position.
With the small space as a bargaining chip, he wasn’t afraid of what the other party would do to him. But could he really go over alone and leave Master and His Highness here? What if something happened?
“Lord Mo Lin, these… These two servants are my men. I’m really worried if I leave them here alone! Why don’t we bring them along? I guarantee that they won’t cause you any trouble!”
Mo Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes. “They’re just two servants. Why are you so nervous?”
