Chapter 123: Chapter 109 Conflict_3

Of course, among them, he inevitably heard news about himself, some of which were plausible, some exaggerated, and some basically adhering to the main theme. In short, it was a matter of different perspectives for different people.

Additionally, as his fame rose, the entrance of Ziyang Escort Agency began to bustle.

Some came to visit and give gifts, trying to make their faces familiar.

Some wanted to join the escort agency, looking for a post in its ranks.

Others came because of the battle in Xuanji Valley, seeking to challenge Su Mo.

All sorts of cases abounded.

If Su Mo were just an ordinary Jianghu guest, these matters could be set aside.

But as the Chief of the escort agency, he couldn’t just ignore these opportunities presented at his doorstep.

Thus, no matter what, he would take some time each day to meet these people and expand his connections.

While one side was ingratiating, the other earnestly sought relationship; although meeting these people was quite tiring daily, the gains were substantial.

However, Ziyang Escort Agency wasn’t recruiting troops and horses for now, and large orders could not be accepted at this time.

Otherwise, Su Mo wouldn’t be idly wandering in Luoxia City; he would have already been on the road escorting goods.

As for the matter of recruiting troops and horses, Su Mo had his own plans in mind.

But now was not the appropriate time.

One day, as Su Mo returned from the tea house and reached the entrance of Ziyang Escort Agency, he saw a young man hurrying out from the agency.

Uncle Fu was also following behind, seemingly about to leave.

This young man was known to Su Mo, surnamed He didn’t know, but his name was Xiao Chuan.

He was an escort master from Iron Blood Escort Agency.

Previously, under Yang Xiaoyun’s orders, he had been stationed next to Ziyang Escort Agency, protecting Uncle Fu.

Su Mo had once suspected Uncle Fu’s identity, but according to Xiao Chuan, Uncle Fu had never left Luoxia City during this period.

Even rarely leaving the Ziyang Escort Agency.

Thus, it was impossible for Uncle Fu to have been the Black clothed Man secretly following him over such a long distance.

After all, finding a substitute at the last minute was simply impractical.

Not like Zuo Qiuyang, who was a grand schemer with plans years in the making.

But what was this man doing now?

“Uncle Fu.”

Su Mo called out from afar.

Uncle Fu looked up and quickly said, “Young Master, you’re back. This brother Xiao Chuan came looking for you, he said there’s trouble with Miss Yun.”

Su Mo was startled and turned his attention to Xiao Chuan.

Xiao Chuan immediately cupped his fists: “Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, the Young Leader had a conflict with the Chief, it seems related to you, things have escalated irreparably, and it looks like they will resort to violence. I really had no other option but to come fetch you.”

“What?”

Su Mo’s brow raised, and he immediately said to Uncle Fu: “Uncle Fu, you go back first, I’m heading to Iron Blood Escort Agency.”

“Young Master, please talk things out, don’t resort to violence.”

Uncle Fu hastily advised: “If that Yang Yizhi is really shameless, the old man will come over and handle him.”

“Understood.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly, letting Uncle Fu return first, while he hurried along with Xiao Chuan towards Iron Blood Escort Agency.

As they walked, Su Mo asked for details.

Xiao Chuan was also somewhat unclear, only mentioning that today the father and daughter were together having tea, and it seemed Su Mo was brought up during their conversation.

Then their tones gradually became harsher.

Even the table was flipped, Yang Xiaoyun, in a fury, picked up the Dragon Abyss Spear intending to leave Iron Blood Escort Agency, how could Yang Yizhi allow it?

At this moment, they were in a standoff in the courtyard.

No one dared to intervene; both father and daughter were resolute, and if things escalated, their intervention might not just fail to separate them but could lead to them getting beaten instead.

Although Xu Ruoshen, the Cloud Explorer, faintly held the role of Iron Blood Escort Agency’s Housekeeper, he could only stand by when faced with this situation.

Now, the only one possibly able to persuade Yang Xiaoyun was Su Mo.

That’s why Xiao Chuan rushed to fetch him.

“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, you might not know, after the Young Leader followed you on that last escort mission, the Chief was extremely dissatisfied.

“I even heard that in the past few days, the Young Leader has been frequently visiting Ziyang Escort Agency, which infuriated the Chief even more…though he contains his emotions, no one could tell.

“Until today, he could no longer control his anger; you know their temperaments, if they really start fighting, who can predict what will happen?”

Listening, Su Mo’s brows furrowed tightly, unsure of what to say for the moment.

Years ago, Yang Yizhi and Su Mo’s father were sworn brothers, with an extremely deep friendship.

It was also because of this that his engagement with Yang Xiaoyun existed.

However, as times change, with Su Mo’s father’s death, no one mentioned this marriage.

Yang Xiaoyun lost her mother early, and Yang Yizhi had not remarried for many years; the father and daughter relied on each other, their relationship was very deep, yet because of Su Mo, conflicts had arisen twice.

Previously, it was due to the useless Su who dallied amongst flowers, not amounting to the current Su Mo.

But this time… he couldn’t easily extricate himself.

For a moment, his heart was quite complex, but he merely quickened his pace, leaving Xiao Chuan behind.

In just a moment, Iron Blood Escort Agency was already in sight, surprisingly unguarded today.

Su Mo leapt into the open gate, with the gatekeeper unable to stop him.

Once inside, he soared up, finding himself on the rooftop, and looked down to see the Martial Arts Arena bustling with activity, escort masters surrounding in inner and outer circles with the father and daughter in the middle.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoyun no longer held the Dragon Abyss Spear, she was sitting on the ground, blood at the corner of her mouth, evidently having been defeated.

“Today, I’ll break your legs to see how you can continue running to that Ziyang Escort Agency!”

Yang Yizhi’s furious voice sounded, turning the spear around and sweeping it harshly towards Yang Xiaoyun’s legs.

Yang Xiaoyun, however, showed no sign of weakness, just stubbornly watching her father.

Just as the spear was about to break Yang Xiaoyun’s leg on the spot, the spear paused, Yang Yizhi exerted all his strength but could not press down further, suddenly looking up, he saw Su Mo, somehow already standing beside Yang Xiaoyun.

He held the spear with one hand, his eyes intently on Yang Yizhi:

“What on earth are you doing?”
