Liu Mo and the Heavenly Blade Sect?
Su Mo’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, suddenly remembering last night when Manager Cheng brought up the Heavenly Blade Sect, Liu Mo’s expression indeed fluctuated a bit.
However, at that time, Su Mo only thought it was the news that had shocked Liu Mo, so he didn’t ponder on it further.
And now, someone from the Guard Team mentioned it as well.
“Chief Liu seems to have been at Wanxin Trading Company for ten years, you all should be quite familiar with him, but do you know anything about this matter?”
Su Mo glanced at the Guard Team members present.
Everyone exchanged looks, then someone spoke up, “Su, the Chief of the Escort, we really don’t know much about this. As you know, Chief Liu is usually reticent and deep in thought. Although we have been working with him for many years, we are of different ranks, and he would not likely open his heart to us.”
The rest shook their heads in agreement, even Su Mo had to admit that Liu Mo was truly a man tight-lipped as if no amount of prodding could get a fart out of him.
Such a man would keep everything to himself, rarely speaking to others about his affairs.
For a while, everyone was at a loss, suspecting that Liu Mo might be connected with the Heavenly Blade Sect was merely conjecture.
There was no concrete evidence whether Liu Mo had gone to the Heavenly Blade Sect or not.
Thus, Su Mo could only send people out to search separately; naturally, it would be best if they could find him.
If they could not find him…
Su Mo himself could return with the Guard Team.
But leaving Liu Mo here alone was not proper.
Yet to specially make a trip to the Heavenly Blade Sect for this seemed baseless; after all, they couldn’t just say they suspected some connection between Liu Mo and the Heavenly Blade Sect and thus came to take someone?
“If we really can’t find him, we’ll just have to wait a few more days at this inn, and if he doesn’t come back then, we’ll head straight back to Luoxia City.”
Su Mo decided on his course of action.
Yang Xiaoyun nodded, “The Guard Team and the escort agency usually don’t walk the same path, to wait for him here for a few days is already beyond duty.”
Just after saying this, someone else walked into the inn from outside; it turned out to be Manager Cheng.
“Old Liu is missing?”
Manager Cheng’s words were concise.
Su Mo stood up to greet Manager Cheng. After sitting down, he reluctantly spoke about Liu Mo’s situation.
Manager Cheng frowned deeply, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sighed, “It was bound to happen one day. I knew he would definitely seek out the Heavenly Blade Sect, but why now?”
Su Mo looked at Manager Cheng: “Manager Cheng, do you know something?”
“Ah, Old Liu seems quiet and difficult to approach, but he actually has a good heart.
“I’ve been reading people for many years with these eyes of mine, rarely mistaken.
“Hence, I was willing to get closer to Old Liu, and gradually we became old acquaintances, old friends.
“When people meet, drinking a bit more is inevitable, so once, I got Old Liu drunk.
“I asked him why he’s always fixated on the Heavenly Blade Sect…
“In his drunken honesty, he told me he wanted to find someone at the Heavenly Blade Sect.
“This person has a deep grudge with him; he’s unsure whether he should or could take his revenge.”
Should or could take revenge?
For a moment, Su Mo was puzzled. If there’s a grudge, isn’t revenge natural?
Why it wouldn’t be so simple to seek revenge at the Heavenly Blade Sect made some sense.
That is the Heavenly Blade Sect, not just anywhere one can rashly invade and run amok.
“Does Manager Cheng know what the specific grievance between them is?”
Su Mo asked.
“I don’t know.”
Manager Cheng shook his head: “This matter is truly unpredictable, even though Old Liu was plastered, he wouldn’t utter a word about it. Saying there’s a grudge was already the limit.
“Last night, when I spoke to you about the Heavenly Blade Sect, it was mainly meant for him.
“The Wanfeng Pool of the Heavenly Blade Sect is the Cang Dao Pond, heavily guarded. The sect had suffered a great suffocation; I disclosed this information to cheer him up, to prevent him from always being sullen.
“Unexpectedly, the man… just vanished into thin air.
“It seems like he ran off to the Heavenly Blade Sect, perhaps thinking that with such a significant incident at the sect, there might be an opportunity to strike?”
After hearing this, Su Mo was also speechless for a long time.
Liu Mo, although taciturn, was certainly not irrational.
If he thought someone stealing a blade from the Heavenly Blade Sect would give him an opportunity, then that underestimated the Heavenly Blade Sect and underestimated Liu Mo.
Could it be that the person he has a grudge against is Tong Yun?
After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, “Manager Cheng, do you know if Endless Blade Tong Yun has any connection with Chief Liu? Since Chief Liu said he has a grudge with the Heavenly Blade Sect, did he mention which specific person from the sect he has a grudge against?”
“This… he didn’t say.”
Manager Cheng shook his head: “Moreover, I am a businessman, and I really do not know much about these matters of Jianghu.”
At this point, Manager Cheng suddenly stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.
Su Mo was taken aback and reached out to help Manager Cheng stand: “Manager Cheng, what are you doing?”
“Liu Mo is unknown, the Heavenly Blade Sect could kill him without a second thought.
“Lord Su, you are a young hero, your fame resounds throughout Jianghu, even the Heavenly Blade Sect cannot ignore you…
