Chapter 587: Chapter 263 Store Manager_2
Su Mo pondered for a moment before speaking softly:
“The expansion of Ziyang Escort Agency is an imperative move.
“On this trip back, I have already asked Grandmaster for permission. Grandmaster has allowed me to take disciples within the Ziyang Escort Agency.
“They would be considered the thirty-third generation of Ziyang Sect.
“Once this matter is achieved, the escort agency will naturally be different…
“As for the other escort agencies within Luoxia City, after the matter with Wusheng Hall is finished, I plan to send an invitation to all of them, calling for a small meeting of the escort agencies.”
“You mean to…”
Yang Xiaoyun’s eyes suddenly widened, evidently grasping Su Mo’s intent.
Su Mo nodded gently: “Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the long-term strategy. Let’s see how they choose… Otherwise, in truth, we need not do anything. As Ziyang Escort Agency grows to a certain size, they will naturally fade away.
“I just want… to leave them an out.”
A gleam sparkled in Yang Xiaoyun’s eyes:
“If that’s the case, Ziyang Escort Agency is really about to transform completely, taking on an entirely new look from now on.”
Su Mo nodded lightly but did not continue to dwell on this matter.
After agreeing on the route, the two left the study. Su Mo wanted to take Yang Xiaoyun to rest in his room, but how could she agree to that?
Even if she wanted to deep down, they were not yet wed.
To retreat unscathed, a price had to be paid.
In the end, with no alternative, she left a kiss on Su Mo’s face, managing to slip away.
Su Mo returned to his room, but he did not rest.
Unwillingly his mind began to consider the matter of the Xuantian Treasure Seal.
However, with no beginning and no end, the origins of the Jinglong Association still bafflingly eluded understanding.
Although he felt that the Jinglong Association was a remnant of Da Xuan, who could be sure?
With the disappearance of the Black clothed Man, the Longmen Sect Third Jing under Wangliang Courtyard, many clues also ended abruptly.
For now, the only plan was to head to Wusheng Hall to possibly uncover the truth.
Yet, it was unclear how fruitful it would be.
The night passed in restless silence, and the next day everyone at the escort agency went about their own business.
Some were watching over the two half-dead Black clothed Men from last night. More precisely, by this morning, only two remained.
The one who had been struck by Zhen Xiaoxiao’s One-legged Copper Man and embedded in the wall had not made it through the night.
They were carried out by the escort squad in the middle of the night and dumped in the mass graves outside the city.
The remaining two were enduring the Three Days of Pain; Su Mo could not be bothered with them for now.
Others were guarding Ji Shuhua’s box of strange iron.
Liu Mo, along with Fu Han Yuan, went out to select a feng shui burial site for Ji Shuhua and consult on an auspicious hour for his burial.
Ji Shuhua was a loner with friends all over Jianghu but no kin.
He roamed Jianghu his entire life without ever having a home.
And as for his friends… they were too numerous to count.
Naturally, it was impossible to notify each of them, so the ceremony would be kept simple.
Meanwhile, Uncle Fu and others were waiting in the escort agency, expecting visitors today.
But there was no need for Su Mo to deal with them anymore; Uncle Fu was enough.
Su Mo went with Yang Xiaoyun and Zhen Xiaoxiao on a visit to City Lord Manor to see Wei Ruhan.
However, there was nothing particular to write home about.
Su Mo’s visit was a face-saving gesture to Wei Ruhan, and it also conveyed a statement.
Beyond that, it was all.
The final decision on the leadership of the Luofeng Alliance would still have to wait a few more months.
Wei Ruhan wanted Su Mo to set a date, but Su Mo couldn’t be bothered… The old man had ulterior motives. If Su Mo really agreed, it wouldn’t just be about making a statement.
Wouldn’t others think Su Mo, by making such a decision, effectively belonged to the Phoenix Alliance?
Wei Ruhan was naturally disappointed, but he didn’t press the issue.
He didn’t even mention his situation with Wei Ziyi.
It’s worth mentioning that Wei Ziyi had already returned to Tianyu City.
She left quietly, without leaving any message for Su Mo.
This left Su Mo somewhat puzzled. He felt something was off about the girl, but couldn’t quite grasp what it was…
The biggest beneficiary of this visit was Zhen Xiaoxiao.
When Huang Yuan saw Zhen Xiaoxiao, he felt a headache coming on.
The kitchen was instantly bustling and hectic.
Although Wei Ruhan was old and ate little, the kitchen stocks were sure to dip because of Zhen Xiaoxiao’s visit.
It’s fortunate City Lord’s Manor was wealthy and large, or Huang Yuan might have stood by the gate pointing in the direction of Ziyang Escort Agency, cursing up a storm.
Another day passed and was spent settling the group of old and young left behind by Hu Sandao.
The courtyard left by Wei Ziyi had been tidied up and officially became their new home.
Afterward, suitable candidates were chosen to join the escort agency staff, while competent women helped with miscellaneous tasks in the agency.
Those who were old and feeble, unable to work, were left to live out their days in the courtyard.
After all these trivial matters were handled.
Su Mo finally called over the two Black clothed Men.
Ever since he obtained the Suffering People Scripture, this was the first time he had subjected anyone to such prolonged suffering.
Back in Dongcheng, when he caught the E Tao Disciple, the old man had been tortured for just over a day and night. Upon release, he was so eager to confess that he nearly blurted out even the memory of peeping at his neighbor’s sister bathing when he was a child.
