A big figure in the Jinglong Association.

His words are never off the mark.

The first person Su Mo thought of, naturally, was Dongmen Yong.

He looked up at Zhuge Qianqiu and gently smiled:

"If this person is truly a big figure in the Jinglong Association, how could he possibly tell you the truth?

"Aren’t you worried that this is a tactic of the Jinglong Association against you?"

"If the Jinglong Association wants to deal with us, why resort to any tactics?"

Zhuge Qianqiu furrowed his brows slightly and shook his head gently:

"You ultimately don’t understand the Jinglong Association, so naturally, you don’t know their prowess."

Su Mo nodded slightly:

"That’s true...

"I wonder who this big figure is?"

Zhuge Qianqiu heard this, couldn’t help but furrow his brows:

"I have poured my heart out to you, yet until now, I don’t even know who you truly are.

"This person has a tremendous kindness towards our Jinglong Hall.

"If you can’t reveal your identity and stance, I absolutely cannot disclose this person’s information to you."

Su Mo nodded gently:

"That makes sense."

He said this and stood up:

"In that case, I bid you goodbye."

"??"

How could Zhuge Qianqiu allow him to escape, and hurriedly said:

"Hold on!"

"Is there something else?"

Su Mo turned back to look at Zhuge Qianqiu.

Zhuge Qianqiu’s brows were tightly knit:

"You’re just leaving like this?"

"What else?"

Su Mo smiled:

"You killed Sikong Hua Ji and took his place.

"You want to stir up trouble on Imperial Court Mountain, you can go ahead and cause chaos.

"Now that I’m leaving, do you want to make things more complicated?"

"I..."

Zhuge Qianqiu was momentarily speechless.

In the end, he could only nod:

"In that case, go ahead and leave."

Su Mo glanced at Sikong Hua Ji’s corpse:

"I’ll help you dispose of this corpse."

"..."

Was this passerby a good Samaritan?

Zhuge Qianqiu naturally wouldn’t believe it, and immediately shook his head gently:

"I..."

Just as he said the first word, he suddenly felt a breeze blow towards his face, and instinctively struck a handprint without thinking.

With a loud bang.

Zhuge Qianqiu’s body trembled, and he couldn’t help but retreat several steps.

Looking up again, the figure had already disappeared outside the window.

Only a voice lingered in his ears:

"Since you’re pretending to be injured, naturally you need to have some injuries to make it believable.

"It’s a trivial task, no need to thank me."

Once the voice dropped, Zhuge Qianqiu’s face changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He immediately started circulating his inner breath in Qi flow, and after a moment, he finally opened his eyes:

"Such deep hand power!

"Who exactly is this person?"

His eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief.

He asks himself, while he can’t compare to the big figures within the Jinglong Association,

But looking around Xizhou, he is undoubtedly among the top masters.

Yet unexpectedly, he was defeated by a single palm strike.

This is still just a casual strike from the opponent, what would happen if they were serious?

He came to the window to look outside again, but where were Su Mo and his companions now?

He stood dumbfounded at the window, his gaze was full of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, at a vacant spot outside Weiyang Palace.

Su Mo placed the corpse on the ground.

Hua Shiyi stood by the side, looking at the corpse with a complex expression.

She looked up at Su Mo:

"Why did you snatch this corpse?"

Previously, when Su Mo was conversing with Zhuge Qianqiu, she was actually hiding behind the soft couch.

Afterwards, Su Mo snatched the corpse, struck Zhuge Qianqiu, and as the latter retreated, he dragged the corpse with one hand and grabbed Hua Shiyi with the other, escaping through the window.

However, Hua Shiyi couldn’t understand why bother taking a corpse; was he planning to keep it?

Su Mo ignored her, hesitated slightly, and took out a box from his chest.

This box was naturally recognized by Hua Shiyi.

It was entrusted by Lu Ren to the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

She watched wide-eyed as Su Mo placed the box into the hands of the corpse.

This move genuinely left Hua Shiyi dumbfounded.

She thought to herself, has this martial arts master gone mad?

The person is dead, yet you insist on mission completion?

Is this the master’s dedication to the escort business?

But she doesn’t know, at this moment, Su Mo was quietly waiting for a system prompt.

However, after waiting for a while, there was still no message.

Only then did he take the box to the side and reached out to rub the skin on the corpse’s face.

But after rubbing for a while, there was still no change.

Hua Shiyi saw this and began to understand somewhat:

"You suspect that this Sikong Hua Ji is fake?"

"Not suspecting, he must be fake."

If Sikong Hua Ji were truly dead, even if his system was a 2G version, there would surely be a reaction.

Otherwise, the bug would be too fatal.

If just one recipient of an escort dies prematurely, his task could completely deadlock.

Since the task hasn’t failed.

This shows that the person waiting to receive the escort is still alive and well.

Just now, he held a glimmer of hope, trying to place the box in the corpse’s hands to see if there would be a miracle.

But it had no effect.

This proves that this person can’t be Sikong Hua Ji.

Yet rubbing the face for a while yielded no human skin mask.

Either this substitute looks exactly like Sikong Hua Ji, or... the real Sikong Hua Ji has never appeared before anyone.

As for whether the escort should be given to Zhuge Qianqiu disguised as Sikong Hua Ji.

This is absolutely impossible.

Even though back when Su Mo accepted the Mysterious Mechanism escort, it was to be given to Wang Xianglin, but actually, it was completed by handing it to Yu Lingxin.
