Chapter 1834 - 672: Biting the Bait (Part 2)

"There is just one thing...

"Zhou Su sent a message saying that Miss Xuanyuan is deeply homesick, and after much consideration, she has decided to return to Donghuang first.

"In the letter, she mentioned that she originally wanted to come to Imperial Court Mountain to thank and bid farewell to you.

"But Zhou Su saw she was distracted and appeared somewhat haggard.

"So, taking the initiative, he had her return to Donghuang first."

"Hmm."

Su Mo nodded:

"Xuanyuan Xiaoshan is the Holy Daughter of the Tianxin Sect. She probably hasn’t encountered such hardships since she was a child.

"Now, facing a great change, wanting to return home.

"It’s quite understandable.

"Zhou Su’s decision is not at fault. If delayed any longer causing any illness, it would be our wrongdoing."

"Exactly right."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, then glanced at Su Mo:

"There’s one more thing... you need to take care of it."

"Oh?"

Su Mo was taken aback: "Is there anything I haven’t done?

"Let me think... The various duties of the Xizhou Jianghu Alliance have already been mostly organized.

"Aside from the Tianjing Sect, the experts of the remaining seven sects have returned to their sects.

"Those watching them have also set out.

"If anyone among them secretly communicates with the Jinglong Association, we will know immediately.

"Yes, right, among the Eight Sects and Nine Peaks, there are still some survivors yet to be interrogated.

"And then there’s... Hua Junying, Wufeng.

"I need to find time to meet with them...

"Jinglong Hall and Zhuge Qianqiu and his son are yet to be dealt with.

"Sigh, thinking about it, there’s really quite a lot to do.

"More importantly... how to act on June 15th.

"By the way, according to the time, the Jianghu Alliance should have already arrived at the nearby towns, starting to spread the news about Imperial Court Mountain?

"I expect it won’t be long before the matter of the Jinglong Association spreads across the world..."

"It’s not those."

Yang Xiaoyun just listened and felt that Su Mo was indeed too busy for a day.

So many matters, all waiting for him to handle.

Part of it is the duties of the Jianghu Alliance.

Additionally, how to counter the Jinglong Association’s retaliation, the specific details haven’t been discussed yet.

Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, thought for a moment, and then suddenly nodded in understanding:

"Is there any news from Jiang Lan’s side?"

"As of now, there is no word, the situation is as you expected, he continues to fight and struggle with the Jinglong Association along the way, unable to leave the Xizhou region.

"He’s just scurrying around in the Xizhou territory."

Yang Xiaoyun said with a smile:

"According to reports from Four Direction City, this person probably curses you even in his dreams now."

"I wouldn’t bother him with my presence in his dreams."

Su Mo smiled:

"If he has the guts, let him curse me to my face."

"He hates you, but he’s not stupid."

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh and cry: "Did you forget about Sister Hua?"

"Oh?"

Su Mo, hearing this, slapped his forehead:

"I knew something felt missing today.

"She hasn’t come around to snack on melon seeds and chat idly, I really felt a bit off..."

"It’s not that she isn’t here; she’s too afraid to come in."

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at the door:

"She’s been waiting here for a while now."

Su Mo was momentarily at a loss but understood.

What was thought to be a chance encounter with a little brother in the Jianghu, chatting and boasting idly as a good conversational partner.

Suddenly, he soared to become the Nanhai Supreme, and yesterday he effortlessly established the Jianghu Alliance.

Now that his status has changed, her nervousness is understandable.

After contemplating for a moment, he said:

"Let her in."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and asked someone to invite her in.

Soon, Hua Shiyi stepped into the door.

At a glance, she saw the Vice Leader of Shunfeng Escort Agency, Chen Dinghai, holding a chessboard, engrossed in studying it.

Exchanging glances, Chen Dinghai nodded to her slightly.

Hua Shiyi quickly returned a smile, though it was somewhat strained.

Looking around the hall, there were quite a few people present.

And yet, Chen Dinghai, the Vice Leader of Shunfeng Escort Agency, seemingly had no seat.

Looking up, she saw a middle-aged woman seated nearby, placing chess pieces with her fingers, forehead glistening with cold sweat.

She knew this person...

During the fierce battle in front of Weiyang Palace yesterday, this unknown senior charged into the crowd, leaving none able to withstand her.

Her martial prowess was truly astounding.

Yet here she was, holding a chessboard, as if facing a formidable adversary.

Looking further up, seated above her was an old man.

His brows furrowed, eyes glaring, seemingly ready to confront the chessboard at any moment, with Vigorous Wind swirling around him audibly.

It was evident his Inner Strength had reached its peak.

As she walked along, some she recognized from the front of Weiyang Palace, others she did not.

But each was a renowned expert in the Jianghu.

Finally looking up, Su Mo sat at the head, firmly pressing down on these figures.

At this, Hua Shiyi sighed.

Su Mo smiled and said:

"Big Sister Hua, why aren’t you coming over, what are you looking at?"

"Elder Su... you deceived me quite thoroughly."

Hua Shiyi sighed, being a carefree girl at heart, she stepped forward to bow slightly:

"I sincerely apologize for the offenses in the past. Please, Elder, do not take it to heart.

"Of course, if you must take it to heart... then I have nothing to say.

"Anyway, I know there’s no escape for me, so do whatever you please."

Everyone hearing this couldn’t help but glance up.

How is it that there’s another one surrendering unconditionally?

Su Mo immediately raised his eyebrows:

"So, Big Sister Hua came prepared today?"
