Chapter 130: Chapter 111: Request for an Audience_3

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Su Mo approached the door and opened it a crack. Standing outside was Uncle Fu, holding a bowl:

“Made some medicine specifically for bruises and injuries. Let Miss Yun drink it, young master.”

“Thank you, Uncle Fu. Please prepare some food later and bring it to the room. It’s best she avoids the wind for now.”

“Alright, is Miss Yun alright?”

“She’s fine.”

Su Mo said, “Uncle Yang knows his limits when it comes to dealing a blow.”

“He knows his limits my ass.”

Uncle Fu was quite displeased with that remark: “Does he really think no one else looks out for Miss Yun besides him? If you ask me, young master, you shouldn’t drag your feet, get the marriage dealt with soon. Miss Yun really thinks highly of you. You can’t let her down…”

“I know, I know.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly as he closed the door.

Yang Xiaoyun curiously asked, “Who was it?”

“Uncle Fu.”

Su Mo holding the bowl, came over: “Drink this, it’s brewed by Uncle Fu. After eating and resting for a bit, you should be fine by tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Yang Xiaoyun obediently nodded her head, drank the medicine, then lay in bed and covered herself with the blanket, silently watching Su Mo.

As their eyes met, Su Mo blinked: “Close your eyes, rest for a while.”

“…With you watching me like this, how can I possibly sleep?”

Su Mo had no choice but to turn away. Yang Xiaoyun’s lips curved slightly, she pondered a moment, then gently grasped Su Mo’s sleeve, feeling reassured, she closed her eyes and her breathing gradually settled.

The room fell completely quiet for a moment.

That night, Su Mo did not leave Yang Xiaoyun’s room. She was injured, and it would be inconvenient for her to do anything should she wake up in the night; with Su Mo by her side to take care of her, things naturally improved a lot.

However, their interaction was different from when they were on an escort mission, sharing a room outside.

For the two of them, the subtlety of this feeling could only be silently appreciated in their hearts.

The night passed without words, and in the blink of an eye, morning came. Having lain down all night, Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t remain patient any longer. She got up and stretched, and most of her injuries had already significantly healed.

Su Mo still wanted her to rest, but Yang Xiaoyun shook her head saying:

“What rest? We are martial artists; such injuries are nothing to us. The morning is the best time to get going, let’s spar, spar!

“We have to go out and buy some things later.”

Unable to argue with her, and seeing her in fine form, Su Mo let her have her way.

They sparred, ate, and went out to buy household items.

These days suddenly became busy; previously, when Su Mo was alone, despite knowing Ziyang Escort Agency urgently needed revival, he really didn’t know what to do.

In this aspect, he ultimately lacked the attentive mind that Yang Xiaoyun possessed.

The girl thought of every detail, almost able to foresee everything.

Su Mo could at most think of clothes, weapons, and such.

On the other hand, Yang Xiaoyun thought of everything from the stone locks and other equipment used by the escort masters at the escort agency to practice their martial arts, to small items needed for cooking meals when out on missions – she prepared everything thoroughly.

Leading escorts herself over the years, she indeed had far more experience in details than Su Mo.

She made a long list, personally led people to make the purchases, and it took a full two days to get everything organized.

Then he began urging the escort masters and squad members to practice whenever they had time in the Martial Arts Arena.

The people who came from the Iron Blood Escort Agency weren’t actually learning spear technique. Most of them already had their own backgrounds.

The worst among them had only spent a few days in a martial arts school in towns, learning the basics of the technique.

Some were truly initiated into the homes of experts and learned martial arts.

Among them, Xiao Chuan was a sword expert.

Initially, he was a disciple under a destitute Jianghu guest who taught him swordsmanship. After stepping into the Jianghu, however, he did not manage to make a name for himself with that swordsmanship.

Due to conflicts, he almost lost his life by the side of the Jianghu Road.

But by a stroke of fate, he obtained a set of swordsmanship and Inner Strength.

By following this method, not only did his Inner Strength greatly improve, but his swordsmanship also advanced leaps and bounds, as though he had become a different person.

However, after his previous experiences, he became aware of his shortcomings.

On one hand, he lacked experience in Jianghu, sometimes unknowingly offending people. On the other, his martial arts required further refinement.

After some wandering, he finally came to Luoxia City and joined the Iron Blood Escort Agency to make a living.

Since joining the Escort Agency, he had been working under Yang Xiaoyun for three and a half years now.

In terms of martial arts, he was indeed the strongest among this group of escort masters.

Su Mo personally asked to learn about Xiao Chuan’s swordsmanship and found it to be truly excellent.

However, it could not compare to Su Mo’s own; his Death-Defying Thirteen Sword, after refinement by the Three Commanders, had evolved into the Fifteen Swords, and every move he mastered was formidable.

The Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword he later received was the unique skill that established Liu Suifeng’s fame.

In these days, his daily practice led to rapid progress, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Casually giving Xiao Chuan a few pointers, Su Mo left him amazed as if he had seen a Heavenly Person.

As a result, this opened a floodgate, and the young escort masters, one after another, started pestering Su Mo for pointers in martial arts.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, having nothing else pressing, did not refuse.

The Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear and Su Mo’s own martial skills were naturally not to be casually taught.

But the tricks and insights could be taught; sometimes a single piece of advice could surpass ten years of hard training, this saying was somewhat exaggerated but not entirely without merit.

Under these circumstances, the Ziyang Escort Agency gradually got on the right track.

Meanwhile, the matter of Yang Xiaoyun leaving the Iron Blood Escort Agency due to a conflict with Yang Yizhi, for some reason, got spread by some unlucky person.

Suddenly, there was all kinds of talk.

Especially at this juncture, the cooperation between the Iron Blood Escort Agency and Deputy City Lord Wu Daoyou also got leaked, putting the Iron Blood Escort Agency directly in the spotlight.

Some said that Yang Yizhi, blinded by power, went against his previous promises and lost all his reputation.

Others said that Su Mo’s earlier dissolute life made him an unfit match, and Yang Yizhi’s reluctance to let his daughter marry Su Mo was also reasonable.

However, regardless of the talk, the move by Wu Daoyou, the Third Alliance Leader of Luofeng Alliance, to expand eastward became justifiable.

It was said that two days ago, Yang Yizhi and Wu Daoyou left Luoxia City, leading their forces eastwards. The actual purpose, however, remained unknown.

Just like this, who knows how many in the Luofeng Alliance would lose sleep.

But for the time being, these issues had nothing to do with Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, especially on this day when several horse-drawn carriages grandly stopped at the front gate of the Ziyang Escort Agency.

A wealthy-looking middle-aged man alighted from the carriage with the help of his servants.

Handing a visiting card to his attendant, he instructed them to go inside and announce his arrival.

“Just say the Store Manager of Wanxin Trading Company seeks an audience with Su, the Chief of the Escort!”
