Chapter 850: Chapter 351: Top Priority
Looking at Su Mo entering Jianghu, taking charge of a failing escort agency till now.
A mere two-year span.
First, he earned the title of Donghuang’s number one.
Now he possesses the might to eye Donghuang like a tiger.
Moreover, from the current situation, this matter is very likely to come to fruition naturally.
In this way, how could Donghuang hold Su Mo back?
Though, if solely compared in terms of developing an escort agency, one cannot mention him in the same breath as the covert Jinglong Association or Imperial Dao.
But is what Su Mo lacks really just power?
Of course not!
What he is missing is the information spread by the wind.
If he were to know the whereabouts of the Jinglong Association’s headquarters, and who is in charge.
Upon heading out today and reaching the location, with a massive clash, he might just take this person’s head.
Truly, what confines Su Mo is his lack of an intelligence network covering the entire world.
Using the escort agency as a cover, with the so-called ‘cooperation’ deepening, along with wealth accumulation.
Su Mo’s actions will also become more frequent and more secretive.
The gains will far exceed imagination.
Yu Lingxin looked at Su Mo, sincerely admiring him.
Yang Yizhi also sighed deeply, unsure of how he felt inside.
In the study room, silence lingered for a moment.
Su Mo laughed, casually found a topic, chatted with them for a while, and then had someone arrange accommodations for them.
Their identities were secretive, staying in an inn with many eyes around was naturally inconvenient.
Since they had returned to Luoxia City, they should stay at the Ziyang Escort Agency.
This night passed without much to say, the next morning, as Su Mo was exercising in the courtyard, he heard the wind howling.
Raising his eyes, he saw a large White Tiger descending from mid-air.
On the tiger’s back, a person was sitting.
The figure looked slightly strange but wore a face that bore a seventy percent resemblance to Su Mo.
As soon as the White Tiger landed, the person leaped down in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled, reached out and took a human skin mask off the person’s face, revealing Yang Xiaoyun’s stunning beauty beneath.
“Sister Xiao Yun…”
Su Mo looked at her, then glanced at the White Tiger.
The White Tiger nudged against Su Mo’s palm, then ran to a corner of the courtyard to rest.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows: “Where’s Xu Lu?”
“Don’t mention it…”
Yang Xiaoyun looked helpless: “Your big apprentice still needs more courage training after all.”
That day, Su Mo sent Xu Lu to head north a day in advance to find Liu Mo.
The next day, Captain Zhang came and said Liu Mo had sent back a letter for help.
Su Mo immediately set off a step ahead.
On that trip, he both acted the part and indeed went north.
Passing Tianyu City, he finally saw Xu Lu hastily returning.
By that time, Xu Lu had already seen Liu Mo and knew he was safe, so he came back to report.
In the end, Su Mo made him disguise as himself and ride the White Tiger to continue to Hui River.
At that moment, Su Mo had already discussed with the White Tiger, reluctantly letting Xu Lu ride it for two days.
Although the White Tiger was unwilling, since the master had spoken, it had no choice but to agree.
And at this moment, Yang Xiaoyun said:
“When we arrived at Hui River, we saw Xu Lu.
“He had indeed found an inn, but upon entering, we saw him wandering in the courtyard on the White Tiger…
“I inquired thoroughly and learned he didn’t want to ride but was afraid to get off.
“He said once he got off the White Tiger, it would raise its head and eat him.
“So we were stuck in a stalemate.
“If we couldn’t reach Hui River that night, I guess he’d be stuck with the White Tiger at that inn for days.
“Finding him really useless, I helplessly, although our figures differ greatly, managed to disguise as you.
“Barely fooling those secretly watching us.”
Su Mo chuckled ruefully after hearing this:
“This is what they call ‘riding the tiger and finding it hard to dismount.’
“Isn’t it indeed?”
Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes: “Riding on the White Tiger, he kept rambling to it, saying he’s your disciple, White Tiger is your steed. They’re old pals, practically family. Family shouldn’t eat family…”
By this point, Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh:
“Our Hero Xu, when bravely ready to die, seemed somewhat composed.
“Why is he so timid?”
“There’s no helping it, it’ll have to come bit by bit.”
Su Mo sighed: “People, having some flaws is quite good, makes them more human.”
“True enough.”
Yang Xiaoyun straightened her chest slightly.
Su Mo noticed her movement and glanced: “Hmm? Tied too tight?”
“…I’m almost suffocated.”
Yang Xiaoyun blushed and glared at Su Mo: “Don’t stare, I don’t look good now.
“I’m going to change clothes. Captain Zhang and the others are at the back.
“Last night, Liu Mo already reached Hui River.
“After seeing us, knowing you returned, he didn’t rest at the dock.
“Rushed overnight towards Luoxia City without stopping.
“But I’d estimate, they won’t arrive till at least the afternoon.
“The White Tiger’s speed outpaced them by far.”
Su Mo nodded: “Should we rest for a bit later?”
“No need, I cultivated all night on this tiger.”
Speaking of which, her expression turned somewhat odd:
“I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but this night of cultivation, my Inner Strength seemed to increase quite faster than usual.”
