Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 114: Chapter 106: People in Jianghu [4th Update!]_3

Editor: Atlas Studios

“But I heard that the client provoked Ji Wanli with words, and in a fit of irritation, he took on this escort task against everyone’s advice.

“People say that no matter what the goods are, we are merely the escorts, delivering the item without questioning right or wrong. Right and wrong should then naturally not come looking for us.

“He delivered the escort, he came back, and then he died.”

“Are you sure that escort was the issue?”

“Can’t think of any other possibility.”

Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said, “So, in the future, before you take on an escort mission, you’d better think it through. Don’t accept any escort with an unclear origin or tangled disputes… it’s easy to bite off more than you can chew, burying your head in the sand, thinking you’ll enjoy peace, when in fact, it’s nothing but self-deception.”

Su Mo nodded slightly but then sighed:

“I’m just afraid that in Jianghu, one often has no control over their own fate.”

“Hmm?”

Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo a thoughtful look: “That’s true. I heard that on that day, the client personally went to Heavenly Gate Escort Agency and bluntly stated that if Ji Wanli didn’t have the guts to take on the task, they might as well dismantle the escort agency’s sign. They said it’d be better to chop it into pieces for firewood than to hang it deceptive and inviting ridicule.

“With decades of reputation at stake, how could Ji Wanli allow such words to circulate?

“That’s why he took on that escort.”

“The Heavenly Gate Escort Agency has been in business for decades and still keeps an eye on its reputation. Ziyang Escort Agency is just starting to make a name and if something like that really happened… I fear that the modest reputation I’ve built up could vanish in an instant.”

The two of them got to this point, and Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but look at Su Mo.

“If… I mean, if someone really pressured you to take on such an escort task, would you accept it?”

Su Mo pondered for a moment before suddenly smiling, “Accept.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously!” Su Mo nodded, “You’re right, thinking burying your head in the sand brings peace is wishful thinking. I’ve never wanted trouble but trouble won’t say ’hello’ before it comes your way.

“How can one expect to always have control in the whirlwind of Jianghu? It’s ridiculous to stand in this vortex yet expect not to be swept up by it.

“So, if you can avoid it, you avoid it. But if you can’t avoid it, you should face the difficulty head-on.

“Are we not practitioners of martial arts, roaming the Jianghu, hoping to stand unwavering in this vortex with our skills?”

Yang Xiaoyun stared at Su Mo, her eyes slightly vacant.

There was an easy grace about Su Mo as he said these words, although he did not stress his voice.

“Hmm? What’s wrong, did I say something incorrect?”

Su Mo turned back and looked at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun came to her senses and shook her head slightly, “You spoke well, but doesn’t it make you feel somewhat resentful to accept such an escort?”

“Of course it does.” Su Mo said with a smile, “If I could foresee it, I would probably strangle the person ahead of time to avoid trouble. But if not, after completing the delivery I would still have to find that person for an explanation.”

“Isn’t that a bit overbearing and irrational?”

“If I’m sitting peacefully at home and he provokes me for no reason, then he should accept the consequences of his actions.

“In Jianghu, no matter what you do, you always have to pay a corresponding price.

“This isn’t a child’s play, I’m not just messing around with you and laughing it off. Where’s the ease in that?”

Su Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip, “In Jianghu, people die.”

“Hahaha.”

Yang Xiaoyun laughed heartily, then suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, “During the days we’ve been away, dad has always been in the escort agency.”

“Oh?”

Su Mo nodded slightly and glanced at Uncle Fu unconsciously. The old man feigned yawning as if he hadn’t heard anything Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were saying.

But his pretense of sleeping was rather clumsy, with uneven breathing, clearly fake.

“Also…” Yang Xiaoyun said with a slight smile, “These past two days, I forgot to mention the little tail we left behind. Do you remember?”

“Tail? About what?”

“Seven Extremes Hall.”

Su Mo was stunned, looking somewhat astonished, “Really?”

“They came.”

Yang Xiaoyun shook her head with emotion, “That person has been in Iron Blood Escort Agency for quite some time now, but I’ve just come back recently and have been running over to your place every day, so my people didn’t get the chance to tell me. It wasn’t until last night that I was informed.”

She looked at Su Mo with a smile.

“The Seven Extremes Hall didn’t come to ask for someone?”

“Even if they had the guts, they wouldn’t have the shamelessness to do so.”

“That’s true.”

Su Mo felt somewhat amused. Zuo Qiuyang used Seven Extremes Hall’s Sword Master as a pawn, and at the end of the day, it was because of the destroyed Qingyang Sword.

The Sword Master, blinded by greed, listened to Zhan Ming’s words and came to lose his life in vain.

Now with Zuo Qiuyang dead, Hua Qianyu was consolidating control over Tianyu City, and inexplicably, Seven Extremes Hall got entangled in this mess, constantly on tenterhooks.

Iron Blood Dragon Spear Yang Yizhi and others would be hard to provoke.

If Hua Qianyu’s attitude towards them was even slightly biased after involuntarily becoming Zuo Qiuyang’s pawn, Seven Extremes Hall could potentially be destroyed.

As for Su Mo…

He could only guess Feng Wuxiang’s reaction once the events in Xuanji Valley were known.

Thinking it over, this really was trouble coming out of the blue even when sitting peacefully at home.

If one could have foreknowledge, they might as well eat the Sword Master alive with steamed buns.

As he was contemplating this, he suddenly saw a servant hurriedly approaching, poking his head around the doorway.

Uncle Fu didn’t pretend to sleep anymore. His senses were sharp as a martial arts master; with one glance he saw the servant and sighed, “Newcomers still need more training. Come here, if you have something to report, just say it. Don’t be disrespectful in Miss Yun’s presence.”

“Yes.”

The servant came closer, not daring to raise his head, and bowed as he said, “Chief, there’s a visitor outside. They claim to be… Seven Extremes Hall.”
