Chapter 421: Chapter 208 Welcoming the Sword_2

Afterwards, he went without sleep for three nights and days, bustling between the two families to mediate their misunderstanding.

In the end, both families shook hands and made peace, with Wan Cangxin even earning a reputation for benevolence.

After all, he had no initial involvement in the affair.

He simply did not wish to see the two families engage in combat and suffer casualties. His hard work can indeed be said to have been for the greater good of Jianghu.

The third matter was the extermination of demons.

Not long ago, a high-ranking expert of the Demon Path had secretly infiltrated the Dongcheng Sects, engaging in underhanded activities.

Yet, it so happened that they encountered Wan Cangxin.

The two engaged in battle across more than two hundred miles. In the end, Wan Cangxin used the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword to kill the demon.

This battle was supposed to remain unknown, but just then, a few passersby witnessed the scene.

Through tracing subsequent events, the whole story was pieced together.

With these three feats adding to his reputation, Wan Cangxin’s name was indeed hinting at a rise to great prominence.

Consequently, the battle for Tianqu City became even more attention-grabbing.

Su Mo listened to these words and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers before breaking into a smile:

“So it turns out.”

“Hm?”

Wei Ziyi glanced at Su Mo: “What do you mean with these words, Su, the Chief of the Escorts?”

“Nothing much.”

Su Mo chuckled: “I just feel that this Wan Cangxin and I have a few things in common.”

“Oh?”

Chu Qiuyu was also somewhat curious: “I would like to ask Lord Su to please enlighten us.”

“Although I am not one to seek trouble in my daily life, wherever I go, trouble seems to follow.”

Su Mo shook his head with a smile: “Take the battle at Xuanji Valley for instance; I simply took a job from Yiqi Qianqiu to deliver a Dragon Roar in the Box to Master Liu of Yuliu Manor.

“As a result, Master Liu was captured by the Youquan Sect…

“After that, in the battles that followed at Xuanji Valley, I stumbled upon and foiled a twenty-year-old plot of the Youquan Sect.

“The so-called fame from the battle of Xuanji Valley is ultimately just for the sake of completing an escort mission.”

“This…”

Chu Qiuyu was speechless: “From this, one can see the Ziyang Escort Agency truly is trustworthy. Traversing from east to west, personally slaying demons, all for the safe delivery of the entrusted items – such an escort agency can be entrusted with anything earth-shattering, and it will certainly ensure safe delivery.”

“…Heroine Chu must be joking.”

Su Mo sighed: “It’s just that trouble always seems to surround me, and Wan Cangxin appears to be the same as me.

“When he was at Wusheng Hall, he kept a low profile except for some entanglements with the little princess of Wusheng Hall, and his name was not widely known.

“However, as soon as he arrived in Dongcheng, it was just like me – all sorts of trouble came one after another, pushing him directly into the limelight.”

Wei Ziyi’s eyes flickered slightly: “He probably relishes it.”

“Who knows…”

Su Mo was about to speak again but suddenly heard a voice nearby.

“Ha ha ha, what excellent liquor, truly superb liquor!”

He turned his head and saw Little Situ, his face flushed with drink, seated on a soft sedan chair and swaying from side to side until finally, with a thud, he collapsed onto the table and fell asleep.

Everyone was taken aback and looked at his feet, where, unbeknownst to them, Little Situ had gotten hold of a jar of liquor.

Two whole jars of autumn brewing had been poured into his belly.

Judging by his appearance, he was someone who seldom drank alcohol.

How could he not be drunk at this point?

For a moment, Su Mo was at a loss for words and looked at the four girls: “Did none of you watch over him?”

“As long as there is no risk to his life, let him enjoy his drunken stupor.”

The girls exchanged glances and, for once, didn’t retort with cold or mocking words.

But someone softly said: “Since he was young, he’s never had such joyous times; whether he’s drunk or asleep, experiencing a little more is always good.

“Otherwise, once he returns to Xuanhu Pavilion, he will once again become the young Master who walks the straight and narrow.”

Su Mo pondered upon hearing this.

These girls had always been blunt about Little Situ.

At this time, it was possible to sense a hint of pity in their attitude.

Yet why had they never revealed it openly?

“The night wind is strong, cover him up a little.”

Su Mo casually took off his outer robe and threw it over Little Situ.

“Thank you, Lord Su.”

The four girls looked at each other, nodded slightly, and covered Little Situ properly with the robe.

Little Situ slept soundly, oblivious to everything else.

The group continued to eat, drink, and laugh until they dispersed happily at midnight.

After that day, Su Mo temporarily resided at Lengyue Palace.

During the day, either Wei Ziyi or Chu Qiuyu, along with Su Mo and the people from the escort agency, took in the views of Wuting Mountain.

At night, they would chat and laugh at the Star Viewing Platform.

They would sometimes engage in lively discussions about Martial Arts, other times about the rumors of Jianghu.

Su Mo also took the opportunity to inquire within Lengyue Palace’s records about any information regarding the Whale Swallowing Skill.

Chu Qiuyu simply took Su Mo to search, along with Wei Ziyi, and they looked through the archives for an entire day without finding anything relevant.

Instead, it expanded Su Mo’s knowledge of the Jianghu.

Left with no choice, they decided to wait and inquire at Ziyang Sect later on.

However, during these three days, the Third Palace Master did not seek out Su Mo again.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed quickly.

The atmosphere within Lengyue Palace had started to change from that night on.

Chu Qiuyu didn’t even come looking for Su Mo to drink at the Star Viewing Platform.

By this morning, Chu Qiuyu had already invited Su Mo out early on.
