Chapter 261: Chapter 155: Hand Over the Escort_2

“Who else could persuade him? You’ve known him for many years, you probably understand his temperament better than I do, his own daughter.”

Yang Xiaoyun’s words carried a hint of helplessness.

Especially after learning that Yang Yi had kept many things from her and Su Mo, this helplessness became even more apparent.

“Well, that’s true…”

The Liu Yun Scholar said with a smile: “But I was just joking with you. What kind of person is your father? The one who secretly harmed Xu Ruoshen has already been captured by him.

“It just so happened to coincide with the literary and martial arts competition at Haoran Academy, so the Dean kept him here to enjoy the excitement.”

“I see.”

Yang Xiaoyun suddenly realized.

Su Mo, however, recalled what the two Escort Leaders, Zhang and Li, had said and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Haoran Academy is vast, and the deeper you go, the more scholars you see.

Suddenly, the view opened up, and the noise grew louder.

Here, several arenas had been set up, with scholars competing on each of them.

The surrounding spectators were numerous and noisy, naturally making quite a commotion.

Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said: “Is today the day for martial competitions?”

“Yes, the literary competition ended yesterday. From today onwards, the next three days will be for martial arts competitions.

“And by the way, inside Haoran Academy, apart from your father, there are other people here to watch the excitement…”

He said, pointing with his hand.

Then he saw a group of people seated on a high platform on the side of the courtyard.

Seated in the middle was an old scholar with a striking appearance and vigorous spirit, with bright sparkles hidden in his eyes, searching all around the arena as if looking for something interesting.

The middle-aged man sitting to his left wore a purple crown with a purple jade hairpin, with an age that was difficult to discern and a calm, extraordinary light in his eyes.

The first person on his right was Yang Yi.

To the left, however, there was an empty seat.

It should be the seat of the Liu Yun Scholar.

But the one sitting to the right of Yang Yi was a person whom both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun didn’t expect to see.

This person wasn’t sitting on a chair, but inside a soft sedan chair.

He was dressed like a white-clothed young master and held a basin in his hand, casually taking out a steamed bun and biting into it.

This sight made Zhen Xiaoxiao’s mouth water.

The young master, upon seeing something interesting, said something to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi’s expression was as steely as iron, as if he had heard nothing.

Su Mo’s expression was bemused; this person… to think he’d see them again at Haoran Academy?

However, he didn’t know what background allowed this person to sit at the same table with these people from Haoran Academy.

Although he was seated at the far right, it was not an insignificant position.

Then he heard the Liu Yun Scholar say:

“The one in the purple clothes, dressed up like a flowering seaweed, is from Ziyang Sect.

“This person’s status is indeed very noble. The Dean intended to place him in the chief seat, but he said it wouldn’t be proper to upstage the host, so he took the first seat on the left instead.”

He said this and glanced at Su Mo: “Does Lord Su recognize this person?”

Su Mo shook his head and smiled: “Ever since my father passed away, Ziyang Escort Agency has lacked attention for several years. I was too young and inexperienced to handle the grand scheme and only recently started trying to restore our reputation. Therefore, it’s been a long time since we’ve had any interaction with the Ziyang Sect.”

“I see.”

The Liu Yun Scholar nodded: “So it’s normal that you don’t know him, but it seems he was a close friend of your father. Hasn’t he visited you at Luoxia City?”

Su Mo smiled bitterly: “That… actually, no.”

“Hmm… It’s unclear what has happened with the Ziyang Sect, but for many years now, no disciples have been seen active in Jianghu.

“One could guess they also have their own difficulties, which is understandable.”

The Liu Yun Scholar nodded and then pointed at the white-clothed young master, saying: “This person looks young, but his identity is quite different. You’d do well to befriend him after you meet later; it will be beneficial for your futures.”

“Oh?”

Yang Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised: “To receive such high praise from Uncle Liu Yun, may I ask what is his identity?”

“Do you know of Xuanhu Pavilion?”

The Liu Yun Scholar asked mysteriously.

“…”

Su Mo did not hesitate and shook his head directly.

This was the first time he had heard this name.

Yang Xiaoyun thought carefully and also shook her head: “I’ve never heard of it.”

“That’s also normal.”

The Liu Yun Scholar sighed: “Xuanhu Pavilion’s founder made a great vow to ’hang a pot to help the world,’ which gave the pavilion its name. In the early days, all the doctors in Xuanhu Pavilion traveled all over the world to treat the common people and Jianghu people.

“Later, for unknown reasons, Xuanhu Pavilion became less ostentatious and instead stayed hidden, seldom having individuals travel throughout Jianghu.

“Though you may not know of Xuanhu Pavilion, you must know of one person…”

At this point, he paused, looking at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

The two were baffled by this sudden cliffhanger.

Seeing their reaction, the Liu Yun Scholar sighed: “The Poison Dragon Son…”

The Poison Dragon Son!

Both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were startled.

“Is the Poison Dragon Son from Xuanhu Pavilion?”

Su Mo was surprised.

“That’s right.”

The Liu Yun Scholar nodded: “Xuanhu Pavilion has a profound heritage, stretching back hundreds of years, at least to the time when the Da Xuan Dynasty still existed.
