Chapter 262: Chapter 155: Hand Over the Escort_3

Within Haoran Academy, there are numerous books on various subjects, many of which contain records about this matter.

Although unofficial histories have their vague passages, when many books record the same event, it becomes hard to claim that the event is a pure fabrication.

However, as to what exactly happened at Xuanhu Pavilion in the past and why it disappeared, there are hardly any records.

After that cataclysmic event, Xuanhu Pavilion vanished from the world, and when Poison Dragon Son made his shocking entrance, some people inquired about his origins…

It was then revealed that he was originally from Xuanhu Pavilion.

Nonetheless, such information is rarely passed around, and people are more concerned with the elixirs left behind by Poison Dragon Son.

As well as the rumors that he retreated into the deep mountains to practice the Immortal Technique.

But about his background and origins, few people care to delve deeply.”

He paused here and said with a smile: “Although few people know of Xuanhu Pavilion, the early dean of the academy read extensively and traveled far, and by chance, met a master from Xuanhu Pavilion.

They’ve exchanged knowledge over the years and maintained contact for decades.

This time, a successor of Xuanhu Pavilion has entered the world, and his first stop happens to be Haoran Academy.

Just in time for the Wenwu competition, he seems to be coming to enjoy the excitement.

Speaking of which, he and you all arrived almost at the same time, such a remarkable coincidence.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, surprised to find out that the naïve young master they had encountered by chance in the teahouse had such an impressive background.

But they did understand why Liu Yun Scholar said that becoming acquainted with this person would benefit their future.

Every healer in Xuanhu Pavilion was a master of both medicine and poison, including someone like Poison Dragon Son.

Therefore, this gentleman in white must also be a skilled practitioner of the art.

Jianghu is not all about fighting and killing, but more about the complexities of human relationships.

Yet fighting and killing are inevitably part of it, blades and swords have no eyes, and no one dares to claim they’ll never get hurt.

If one could get to know a grandmaster of medical practice, the benefits are naturally self-evident.

While chatting casually along the way, Liu Yun Scholar led the three to the vicinity of a high platform.

The sound of footsteps, especially the thunderous noise of Zhen Xiaoxiao’s, reminiscent of a rolling dragon, naturally attracted the attention of several people on the stage.

They all turned around, and the old dean, recognizing Yang Xiaoyun, nodded with a smile.

However, the master from the Ziyang Sect glanced at Su Mo, and in his tranquil eyes, there seemed to be something stirring unsettled.

Yang Yizhi snorted coldly when he saw Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo, and was about to stand up and leave.

Suddenly, the successor from Xuanhu Pavilion exclaimed:

“Ah, it’s you! Are you all here to see the excitement at Haoran Academy too?”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun looked at each other, speechless.

Then they heard the old dean say with a smile: “Little Situ, you know these three as well?”

“On the road, we chanced to meet, and seeing the three fight against evil, they truly set an example for our peers.”

The young master laughed and said: “I had no idea when we parted in the teahouse that our next meeting would be here in Haoran Academy, quite the coincidence indeed.”

“Indeed, a coincidence.”

Su Mo smiled and greeted with a fist-hold salute, then greeted the old dean: “I, Su Mo from Ziyang Escort Agency in Luoxia City, have the honor to meet the Dean.”

“Ziyang Escort Agency…”

Before the Dean could speak, the master from the Ziyang Sect next to him murmured these four words, then suddenly looked sharply at Su Mo.

His eyes seemed to contain flames, and a flash of purple qi could be seen within them.

A surge of energy burst forth in an instant, enveloping Su Mo completely.

He spoke, his tone calm and steady, yet carrying an indescribable authority:

“Are you the son of Su Tianyang?”

Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly as hearing this name from someone else suddenly seemed unfamiliar.

But he nodded, and with a casual wave, the invisible surge in the air instantly dissipated.

“Su Mo greets the senior.”

The master from the Ziyang Sect was briefly taken aback, his eyes revealing a flash of surprise, then looked fiercely towards Yang Yizhi.

Yang Yizhi snorted coldly: “What are you doing here?”

“Father…”

“Shut up!”

At his word, Yang Yizhi shouted angrily: “It was clear what I said that day at the Iron Blood Escort Agency: the moment you leave with this man, you will have nothing to do with my Iron Blood Escort Agency from that point on. You are no longer a daughter of Yang Yizhi… now as a female hero, you call me father, but Yang is unworthy of the title.”

Yang Xiaoyun’s face instantly changed.

Su Mo had already warned her that Yang Yizhi would not be happy to see her, but she did not expect to hear such words in front of everyone.

For a moment, she stood there, not knowing what to say.

But then the high-ranking member from the Ziyang Sect snorted coldly:

“Yang Yizhi, what do you mean by that? What does ’leave with this man’ mean? As far as I know, these two are actually betrothed, and it was an arrangement made by you and Su Tianyang, right?

“So, what? You plan to go back on your word now that Su Tianyang is dead?”

“How does my decision concern you? Or is the Ziyang Sect planning to meddle in my affairs? Where were you all in the early years?”

“Hmm?”

The high-ranking member from the Ziyang Sect paused, apparently wanting to respond but then deciding to remain silent.

The old dean looked at Yang Yizhi with a peculiar expression:

“That’s not right. If there was an arrangement beforehand, why default on it now? Chief Yang, your actions are unexpected and illogical.”

“What? Does the old dean also want to teach Yang how to conduct his life?”

Yang Yizhi suddenly stood up, his energy flaring.

The old dean made a face: “One lives half a lifetime, yet it seems the older one gets, the less one understands. I see this young man is extraordinary. If your daughter does not intend to wed him, I might as well see if I have a granddaughter…”

This statement sounded rather improper.

A granddaughter exists if one exists; if not, one does not – what sort of situation is it to see if one has one or not?

Liu Yun Scholar also didn’t expect such an outcome from this father-daughter reunion and felt quite awkward about it.

Suddenly, Su Mo courteously said:

“Chief Yang, please calm down. I am here to complete a delivery task from the Five Directions Gathering, to be given to Chief Yang…

“This is the document.”

He spoke and pulled out the document from his person and handed it to Yang Yizhi, then took down the package and presented it with both hands.

“This is the escort item, please confirm and verify it, so I can complete this delivery mission.”
