Chapter 129: Chapter 111: Request to Meet_2

“In the end, it wasn’t necessary for them to do anything; Zuo Qiuyang was already done for.

“However… about this matter, there’s still something I don’t quite understand.”

“Which part?”

Yang Xiaoyun was a bit curious. After asking, she waved her hand dismissively: “Forget it, I don’t want to hear it anymore. Your thoughts are always so convoluted, who knows what you’ve thought up. Keeping such information hidden from me… huh.”

At this point, Yang Xiaoyun was a bit emotional.

Su Mo found it slightly amusing for a moment, seeing how she usually acted bold and decisive, but was actually quite feminine.

He spoke softly, “The reason I didn’t want you to know about this is simply because I didn’t want to put you in a difficult position. That night, the Sword Master of Seven Extremes Hall was putting the cart before the horse, and there was a black clothed man who kidnapped the assassin. I clashed with him with a palm strike. At that time, I suspected that it might be Uncle Yang… I wanted to tell you then, but there was no solid evidence, and speaking more about it would have been pointless.

“And later inside Tianyu City, you mentioned that the black clothed man bore no resemblance to Uncle Yang.

“By the time we returned to Luoxia City, it was even more evident that Uncle Yang had never left Iron Blood Escort Agency… There really was no need to mention it anymore.”

Yang Xiaoyun fell silent upon hearing this.

Su Mo then asked her to turn around, and as their eyes met, Yang Xiaoyun’s face flushed. Su Mo picked up her arm: “As for the part that I find a bit puzzling, it’s actually quite simple… If all my previous speculations were correct, and Wu Daoyou and Uncle Yang secretly collaborated, using Wu Chengfeng’s persistent harassment of you as a cover to lure out those who didn’t want them to succeed.

“In that narrow lane where I was assassinated, that was exactly what they hoped for.

“From this reasoning, they must have gone to deal with Zuo Qiuyang.

“But Wei Ziyi’s intervention disrupted their plans.

“In the end, however, it helped Wei Ziyi rise to power, becoming the Eighth Alliance Leader and the Deputy City Lord of Tianyu City.

“Looking at this matter, it’s not advantageous for Wu Daoyou to seize the post of Alliance Hierarch.

“Assuming that they were indeed secretly investigating this, how could they allow Wei Ziyi and Hua Qianyu to succeed?”

“This…”

Yang Xiaoyun furrowed her brows slightly: “Maybe they had no opportunity to take action?”

“That’s impossible.”

Su Mo shook his head: “At that time, Zhan Ming was detained in the City Lord Manor, the entire situation was tumultuous. Even if Wu Daoyou was blind and deaf, his ears would have been filled with news. If they really wanted to do something, that was the perfect opportunity. Yet, he allowed Wei Ziyi to successfully bait Zuo Qiuyang.”

Yang Xiaoyun felt her head buzzing and could only weakly ask:

“What do you think it was, then?”

“If I knew, why would I say it’s something I can’t figure out?”

“Upon thinking carefully, it really is a bit puzzling, do you think Wu Daoyou could be Wei Ruhan’s man?”

“…”

Su Mo suddenly looked at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback: “What’s wrong?”

“If that’s the case, the struggle within the Phoenix Alliance might soon come to a close.”

If Wu Daoyou is also Wei Ruhan’s man and if Hua Qianyu is Wei Ruhan’s daughter-in-law, and Wei Ziyi is Wei Ruhan’s granddaughter, among the Eight Alliance Leaders, four have already reached a consensus.

The affiliation of the Alliance Leader is nearly discernible.

If there’s further defiance from any Alliance Leader, causing some incidents, more than half of the affiliations are already determined.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said: “However, the conflict within the Phoenix Alliance ultimately has nothing to do with us. The fact that you could walk out of Iron Blood Escort Agency is actually a good thing; it prevents you from getting involved in this chaos and saves you unnecessary headaches.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded: “Yeah, let’s not think about the affairs of the Phoenix Alliance anymore. Aside from Zuo Qiuyang, other matters really have nothing to do with us… If dad wants to get involved, just let him be.”

Su Mo nodded slightly, but recalling today’s actions of Yang Yizhi, still felt that there were some suspicious aspects.

It is said that nobody knows a daughter better than her father. What kind of person Yang Xiaoyun is, how could Yang Yizhi not understand?

Was it truly that today he was at his limit of tolerance toward the relationship between Yang Xiaoyun and himself?

Or was there another motive?

Su Mo thought for a moment, but decided to share his suspicions with Yang Xiaoyun.

However, Yang Xiaoyun shook her head:

“His thoughts have already changed from before. Now, he might not understand me, and I might not understand him… Let’s not talk about him. Right now, we’d better focus on the escort agency. Now that we have these few folks who followed me here, we can start taking on some assignments.”

“That actually turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Originally, I was worried that the personnel recruited in these turbulent times might cause issues.”

Su Mo said, “The ones who came today should all be trustworthy, right?”

“Yep, they’ve all been with me for several years.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded: “The Ziyang Escort Agency is now ready to thrive. Now that we have the manpower, it’s indeed time to start getting organized.”

Speaking of this, both of them got a little excited, discussing everything immediately from preparing the horse cart, making uniforms, assigning squad roles, flagbearers, escort masters, and choosing the Escort Leader…

They discussed every detail.

Near the end of their conversation, Su Mo had also just finished addressing Yang Xiaoyun’s injuries.

Yang Xiaoyun got up feeling much lighter.
