Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 139: Chapter 114 Small Banquet_3

“I’ve compiled a list for you. On it are the people and events you might need to be cautious of during your journey.”

Su Mo solemnly took it, without inquiring how Wei Ziyi knew of their itinerary.

If the Wanxin Trading Company was doing business in the Phoenix Alliance’s territory, what information could really be kept from the Phoenix Alliance?

Especially with the passage of a large group, fifteen horse-drawn carriages—if that could be hidden, then one might be dreaming.

Casually unfolding the paper, Su Mo read through and nodded slightly.

Wei Ziyi continued: “Although the Phoenix Alliance intends to push deeper into the Heavenly Blade Sect’s territory, the likelihood is not great. Still, they have their feelers out, and the same is true for the Heavenly Blade Sect. In this world, where major powers and factions are entrenched, things are always complex. The Heavenly Blade Sect is actually better in some respects, after all, they are a Sect.

“Wusheng Hall is an entire faction, with intense internal struggles. On the surface, all may seem calm, but the undercurrents of conflict never stop.

“This list I’ve given you contains basically what the Phoenix Alliance can find out and what you can make use of.

“Also, the places listed for rest and respite are not Phoenix Alliance properties.

“It can only be said they’re somewhat safer and more stable than average places, but I cannot guarantee they’re completely trouble-free, you’ll still need to discern carefully.”

Su Mo replied with a smile, “Thanks, I’ll remember this favor.”

“That’s no fun then.”

Wei Ziyi pouted her mouth: “I consider you a friend, who’s trying to score favors?”

“Ah… this…”

Su Mo was at a loss for words.

Yang Xiaoyun chuckled and said, “Said the wrong thing, should be punished!”

“That’s right.”

Su Mo poured a cup of tea: “Using tea as a stand-in for wine, I’ll drink this penalty myself.”

“That’s more like it.”

Wei Ziyi nodded with satisfaction and paused briefly: “By the way, about that leader surnamed Liu from the Wanxin Trading Company…”

She pondered slightly and said: “Do not underestimate him.”

“Does Miss Wei know this person well?”

Su Mo seized the opportunity to ask.

“Not much.”

Wei Ziyi said with a frown: “All I can say is that there seems to be some doubt about his identity; it’s not as simple as one might imagine. His Mace Technique is unique; its forcefulness is rare in Jianghu. However, he rarely makes a move… so not many know of it.

“The Phoenix Alliance has many sources of information, that’s how we gathered some.

“I heard you made a deal with Wanxin Trading Company, so I did a little checking and found that this Liu has something hidden.

“But it’s just a word of caution.

“On one hand, Liu has been dedicated for many years in Wanxin Trading Company and has a good reputation. He has collaborated with the escort agency several times, always accommodating and never causing trouble.

“On the other hand, you should stay alert. Even if he indeed has any peculiar intentions, I expect he’s no match for you.”

Su Mo nodded thoughtfully and curiously asked:

“How long has Liu Mo been with Wanxin Trading Company?”

“At least ten years.”

Wei Ziyi said.

Su Mo relaxed upon hearing this: “If there were any schemes, they would have surfaced by now. Maybe… tired of Jianghu strife, an unrivaled expert living incognito?”

“If that’s indeed the case, shouldn’t we seek to learn a thing or two?”

Wei Ziyi’s eyes shone.

Yang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.

Su Mo felt that the girls around him were somewhat unusual.

“If someone truly intends to conceal their identity, they definitely wouldn’t reveal their mastery. There are too many unspoken circumstances in Jianghu; let’s not expose them…”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched.

Wei Ziyi immediately felt it was too boring, and turning to Yang Xiaoyun, said: “Yang Family Sister, your future husband is really a bit dull.”

“Not at all.”

Yang Xiaoyun said with a smile: “What he says always makes sense.”

“…”

Wei Ziyi was dumbstruck; just a moment ago, when she mentioned learning a move or two, Yang Xiaoyun had nodded in agreement!

Could you not be so fickle in an instant?

For the remainder of the time, Su Mo stayed as an onlooker, while Yang Xiaoyun and Wei Ziyi conversed more amicably.

It seemed that as long as Yang Xiaoyun didn’t hear anything unfavorable about Su Mo, they could become good friends.

After eating his fill, Su Mo saw the two were engrossed in conversation and excused himself to Wei Ziyi, planning to return to the courtyard first.

Wei Ziyi had no objections, only asking Yang Xiaoyun to stay and chat a while longer.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyun was in high spirits, Su Mo made his way back alone.

…

…

The night was already quite chilly.

Wei Ziyi had treated Su Mo and company as her own; she had brought them here herself, and as Su Mo walked back, there was no one to guide him.

Strolling leisurely, Su Mo suddenly heard the sound of a guqin.

Melodious and deep, Su Mo subconsciously stopped in his tracks, following the music, which then became softer and like babbling brooks, flowing from the depths of his heart.

After pausing to listen for a while, Su Mo smiled and turned to leave.

But the music suddenly crescendoed with energy and emotion.

“…”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched, halting his stride and turning back to face the direction of the music.

The guqin music once again entered a melodious phase, each note warm and gentle.

Su Mo hooked his lip and turned to leave again.

Yet before the music could swell, he turned back.

Sure enough, as Su Mo turned to leave, the music tensed, on the verge of soaring high, but with Su Mo’s quick turn, the musician stumbled back into a low melody, somewhat flustered.

Then there was a ’bang’, and a string broke.

“Ha ha ha ha.”

Su Mo couldn’t hold back his laughter, and then he turned and ran off.

Although he didn’t know who was extending an invite with guqin music in the night, just because you invite me, should I go? Why would I be so idle?

Now, after a satisfying meal, it was time to return for a good night’s sleep.

Little did he know, at this moment, on a high platform of a side courtyard,

A woman sat in front of an ancient zither. Her long hair gathered behind her, bound with a red silk ribbon, and her robe sprawled out on the ground.

She stared at the ancient zither with a broken string in front of her,

And watched Su Mo hurrying away in the distance.

Despite her face that time had hardly touched, deep confusion couldn’t help but emerge…
