Peach-Orange! – Chapter 583 – Another Marriage Contract?

Facing Su Tao, who had her face hidden by a hood, the man was somewhat awkward. After sneaking a glance at the exposed, smooth chin, he straightened his clothes.

“Young Lady, although this isn’t the first time we’ve met, and you might not remember me, I still need to introduce myself.

“My name is Naiyue. I met you once at the banquet last time. I am an ordinary member of the second team within the organization.”

He smiled, trying his best to ease the somewhat oppressive atmosphere. “But you probably aren’t interested in those details. I am…”

“You were sent by my father, right? Where is he?” Su Tao interrupted Naiyue, getting straight to the point.

Naiyue quickly replied, “Currently, Boss Su has already returned to the country. He landed in the capital but is being harassed by some old enemies.

“Boss Su didn’t want to involve you, which is why he hasn’t shown himself immediately. He plans to deal with those guys within a few days and then come to see you personally.”

Su Tao, wearing the hood, her expression unclear, simply gave a slight nod and said, “So, did you come just to tell me this?”

“Not exactly.”

Naiyue shook his head and explained, “Boss Su learned that your situation here is quite serious and is worried about your safety. So, he sent us first to protect you.”

“Protection…”

Su Tao recalled that this person had said the same thing at the last banquet, so she retorted,

“Last time you also said you would send people to protect me. But when I was attacked by Ye Er, I almost died. Why didn’t I see any of your people then?”

“Wasn’t it because you said you didn’t need it last time?”

“Uh…”

Su Tao was momentarily speechless. She had thought that even if she refused, these people would definitely protect her in secret.

Why does it feel so unreliable now?

Naiyue continued to explain, “Naturally, that was only a small reason. At that time, due to a shortage of personnel, Lord Tianyu… that is, the successor of our War God Temple, happened to return to the country and needed manpower, so he called us over as well.”

“One thing led to another, and it was delayed until now. But, Young Lady, please rest assured. Our purpose in coming to you now is to indicate that our entire team, totaling 36 people, will protect you during this period and are at your disposal.

“Additionally, Lord Tianyu will also personally assist you.”

Hearing this, Su Tao’s mind stirred. “You’ll all really listen to me?”

“Of course, you are our Young Lady.”

Although she really disliked the address ‘Young Lady,’ Naiyue’s words gave Su Tao a new idea.

These people all obey her.

Doesn’t that mean she can use them to rescue Brother Chi Song!

Alone, she had no way. Going into those deep mountains and old forests, she might even get lost. But this group of people is different.

They come from the War God Temple; they are professionals.

Even the World Will and that Young Lady couldn’t find her and Xiaocheng at home, yet these people managed to locate her so accurately. Could they also find where Brother Chi Song is?

As for their capabilities…

Su Tao asked curiously, “Naiyue, are all the people from your War God Temple ancient martial arts practitioners?”

Naiyue shook his head. “Most peripheral members are ordinary people. Those within the organization are a mix of ordinary people and ancient martial arts practitioners. But, Young Lady, please rest assured.

“The group sent to protect you are all ancient martial arts practitioners, and to a certain extent, they are proficient with modern weapons. Moreover, Lord Tianyu is a uniquely top-tier existence within the organization.”

Su Tao raised an eyebrow. “Who exactly is that Tianyu?”

As Naiyue explained, Su Tao quickly learned about the man addressed as “Lord.”

He was an orphan Su Dingtian picked up on a battlefield abroad some years earlier. Even when the War God Temple accepts missions, most involve eliminating gangs and evil, rarely touching on official conflicts abroad.

Su Dingtian had also set rules against killing or humiliating women, children, and the elderly. Thinking a child experiencing war wouldn’t survive if left alone afterwards.

So, he took Tianyu back.

It turned out this child had exceptionally rare talent. With a little training, he excelled in various aspects and became an ancient martial arts practitioner at a young age.

Su Dingtian was also alone. After developing some affection, he had him take the surname Su and began cultivating him as the successor to the War God Temple.

Su Tianyu lived up to expectations. As he grew older, he defeated all dissenting voices within the War God Temple, won over several close aides, and now enjoys extremely high prestige.

Literally the sole existence second only to the War God himself.

After finishing, Naiyue added, “Originally, his succession of the War God Temple was a foregone conclusion. But now, Young Lady, you have appeared, and you possess the War God bloodline, so…”

So, it’s uncertain again who will inherit the position of War God Temple leader.

But what Su Tao thought of was something else. “Then what you said last time about some marriage contract, that wasn’t a lie? My father, who hasn’t even seen my face, really wants me to marry this Tianyu?”

“Uh…” Naiyue noticed Su Tao’s tone turning icy and hurriedly said, “It wasn’t said by Boss Su himself.”

“Hmm?”

Naiyue: “Actually, after everyone in the War God Temple learned of your existence as his daughter, and that you truly inherited the War God bloodline, many people began speculating.

“Including Lord Tianyu saying so as well.

“The fundamental reason is that you, Young Lady, are a girl. Presumably, many believe you won’t inherit that position. But to prevent factional strife and to ensure your War God bloodline is passed on….

He didn’t continue, but Su Tao already understood his meaning.

Once the news spread and more and more people believed it, probably the entire War God Temple thought she would marry that Tianyu.

He himself has ample innate talent, plus her, with the War God bloodline…

That father of hers couldn’t be unaware of such rumors. Not speaking out to stop them might indicate he has such intentions himself.

“Heh heh…”

Her impression of that War God father worsened even more.

But feeling displeased is one thing; being able to use these people now is another.

Su Tao said bluntly, “Since you obey me, I plan to rescue my brother. You managed to find me at home, so you must know about my brother’s situation, right?”

“Is it Chi Song?” Naiyue nodded. “We have also investigated. Although we haven’t found the exact location, judging by Ye Er’s current actions, that brother should be fine for now.”

However, after being in the deep mountains and old forests for a week, the specific situation is unclear.

Su Tao took a deep breath. “Then, can you rescue him?”

Naiyue rubbed his chin. “If I were to say…”

“Don’t misunderstand.” Su Tao interrupted Naiyue, turned her head, her eyes beneath the hood revealing a trace of coldness. “I asked if you can rescue him.”

Naiyue was stunned again, feeling that the clearly slender girl before him somehow overlapped in his vision with the Su Dingtian they had always followed.

Shouldn’t it be said, as expected of father and daughter?

This thought flashed through Naiyue’s mind. He took another deep breath and said in a firm tone, “Replying to Young Lady, we can rescue him!”
