What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 38 The Magistrate's Powerful Backer
Yan Dahu decided to teach Su Mo a lesson!
His eagle claws could easily tear five holes in a hard wooden stake.

Su Mo's wrist was confident that it wouldn't be much harder than a wooden stake!
Unfortunately, he probably hadn't heard that in some world, there are two such versions.

Firstly, of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed.

Secondly, one force can overcome ten techniques!

Although it sounds contradictory.

But when the two are combined, it's no joke.

Su Mo's punch was fast and powerful!

Therefore, Yan Dahu's plan to teach Su Mo a lesson failed!
Su Mo saw Yan Dahu holding one arm, having been knocked several meters away by her. Her face instantly turned from red to white, and then from white to red again.

He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Brother Gaoshou, are you alright?"

After a pause, Su Mo sighed, "Well... there's probably something going on..."

"I could hear the sound of bones cracking."

He wondered if he had used too much force!

Who knows what kind of master this Yan Dahu is, a first-class servant of the Eagle Claw Sect in Tieshan County?

Just like Zhou Laizi, he's easily defeated!

Yan Dahu glared at Su Mo with grief and indignation!

That infuriated the expert!

Unfortunately, I was outmatched and could only swallow my anger!
Su Mo saw that the other party did not speak.

Sighed again.

He never imagined that, having only mastered the basics of the Yangtian Technique, he could easily defeat a seemingly strong first-class servant.

I doubt the other party is a true expert, and their reputation isn't particularly impressive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a servant.

He announced his name twice, and the second time he specifically added the word "first-class," clearly showing that he was truly proud of his servants.

"Do you still want to fight?"

"If you don't fight, I'm leaving!"

Su Mo earnestly reminded the other person, "You're not going to report me to the authorities, are you?"

"The last person who attacked me first and even reported it to the authorities was beaten to death in court!"

Yan Dahu's face turned from red to white with anger!
This is outrageous!

Who do you think you are? Reporting a losing sparring match to the authorities?

If word gets out, won't we be laughed to death by our fellow martial arts practitioners?
Su Mo thought for a moment and then said, "I came here to return the gift to Magistrate Xue."

"Could you please pass this on, expert?"

After saying that, he handed the brocade box he was carrying to Yan Dahu.

Yan Dahu subconsciously took the brocade box.

Then I realized it.

Previously, the opponent had only used one arm to fight me!

What's the point of fighting?!
Su Mo didn't waste any more words and turned to find Xue Yishu.

This matter concerns the Golden Finger, and is far more important than speculating on a mere county magistrate.

I hope Xue Shan will spare me his time and not come looking for Xue Yishu, so I can hide her away peacefully for seven days and complete my mission!
The favorability rating of the county magistrate's daughter is of little use.

But isn't there still one pending decision?

Moreover, this might be part of a series of missions!
Just like the mummified corpse case that Lin Moyin was in charge of, there was a follow-up!

Su Mo didn't have to search for long.

They hadn't gone more than a hundred paces when they saw the fake scholar hiding behind a large banyan tree that took two people to encircle, peeking out furtively and looking in their direction.

At least she still has some conscience!
It wasn't in vain that I saved her.

Xue Yishu was shocked to see that Su Mo sent the first-class servant of the Wang family, brought by her mother, flying several meters away with a single punch.

Although Su Mo was tall, he was rather thin, looking like a frail scholar.

How could you possibly knock back Yan Dahu, who is as fat and strong as an ox, with a single punch?

Xue Yishu witnessed Yan Dahu kicking a wooden stake as thick as a large bowl in half while practicing his martial arts!

Among the servants my mother brought, they ranked in the top three!
Could this seemingly frail scholar be a true martial arts master?

If the skilled scholar were willing to help me...

Xue Yishu's eyes lit up, and a plan immediately came to mind.

Seeing Su Mo walking towards her, she hurriedly emerged from behind the banyan tree and waved vigorously: "Brother! Brother! I...I'm here!"

Su Mo naturally wouldn't expose her identity.

He frowned, and asked with a snort, "Who are you?"

"How did you manage to climb over the wall of the county government office?" "And who were those people chasing you, claiming to be servants of the Wang family?"

Xue Yishu's pretty face immediately turned bitter, but she quickly said, "He is my mother's servant."

"I am Xue Yuan, the son of the magistrate of Changping County!"

“My mother forced me to marry a woman I did not like. When I refused, she locked me in the backyard. I had no choice but to climb over the wall and escape from the county government office.”

Su Mo...

Is this what a well-bred young lady is like? A rich heiress?
How come you can lie so easily, one lie after another, without even blinking?
That's what he thought, but his face turned pale with shock: "What? You're the son of Magistrate Xue?"

"I go!"

"You've really ruined my life!"

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No! I'll take you back to the magistrate right now and apologize!"

As he spoke, he made a move to step forward!
Xue Yishu hurriedly said, "Brother, wait a moment! I have something else to say!"

Su Mo frowned and stopped: "What else do you have to say?"

Xue Yishu explained, "Don't be afraid that my father will blame you!"

"He doesn't want me to marry that woman; it's just my mother's idea!"

Su Mo was taken aback: "If that's the case, why did you run away?"

Xue Yishu sighed deeply, looking utterly hopeless, and slowly uttered a few words.

"Father is afraid of his wife!"

This reason left Su Mo speechless!

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate, who usually commands great authority and whose authority is so strong that no one in the yamen dares to disobey him!

He's actually afraid of his wife!

After a moment of silence, Su Mo said, "In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Xue Yishu quickly called out to Su Mo, "Brother, please wait a moment!"

Su Mo frowned and looked at the fake scholar: "Is there anything else?"

Xue Yishu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I have nowhere to stay for the time being!"

"Brother, would you be so kind as to take me in?"

This time, Su Mo was truly stunned.

He was still thinking about what reason he could use to lure the other person away.

Unexpectedly, she offered to let me take her in?
Is it appropriate for a daughter of an official's family to go to the home of a strange man?

Does she really think her disguise skills are good enough that others can't recognize her as a woman?

Seeing Su Mo's stunned expression, Xue Yishu's eyes darted around, and he said, "Don't worry! I won't treat you badly!"

She pulled out a silver ingot from somewhere: "Here are ten taels of silver."

"If you take me in, the money is yours!"

He paused, then added, "However, it will take at least seven days!"

"Also, if Mother sends people to arrest me, you must help me drive them away!"

Su Mo couldn't help but ask, "Why seven days?"

Xue Yishu explained, "My uncle will arrive in Changping County in seven days."

"My uncle loves me the most."

"If I just beg him, my mother will definitely stop pressuring me to marry!"

As she spoke, her eyes darted around again: "My uncle is a true master, and even a Taoist sorcerer!"

"When your uncle arrives, I'll ask him to give you some pointers on your skills. I'm sure you'll make rapid progress!"

Su Mo was truly taken aback this time.

"what?"

"Is your uncle a Taoist sorcerer?"

Xue Yishu said smugly, "Did I scare you?"

"My uncle is a powerful immortal cultivator at the Divine Realm! He's always focused on cultivation and rarely goes out!"

"Father went through a lot of trouble to get him to come to Changping County!"

After a pause, fearing that Su Mo wouldn't believe her, Xue Yishu pulled out an antique jade pendant from Su Mo's neck.

"This is a magical artifact that my uncle gave me!"

"If anyone bullies me... Humph!"

She's not stupid; she didn't say anything about what would happen if anyone bullied her!

I'm so excited! Yesterday, a brother actually gave me almost ten monthly tickets! Wow! I'm so energetic while writing!
