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

Chapter 111: Chapter 105: Terrifying [3rd Update!]_3

Editor: Atlas Studios

This is still a situation of being in a hurry to escape for our lives, only able to take fifty thousand taels, otherwise, who knows how much it might have been.

Su Mo looked at the silver note in his palm and clicked his tongue in admiration, and then said to Yang Xiaoyun, “Keep it with me for now. When we get to the inn later, let’s split it—two for you, five for me.”

“Do I get a share?”

Yang Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised. “Xiao Mo, Ziyang Escort Agency is now in dire need of rejuvenation…”

“You have to take it one step at a time. Are you really giving me fifty thousand taels without worrying I might end up wasting it all?”

“That’s true too.”

Yang Xiaoyun thought about Su Mo’s previous actions and then nodded: “Although I feel you won’t revert to your old ways, this is also good. Consider it as me keeping it here, so I won’t worry about not having money when I get married in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was slightly absent-minded.

Throughout their journey, his time spent in close company with Yang Xiaoyun all day and night had started to feel different from before.

Now hearing Yang Xiaoyun bring up this topic, he wasn’t sure how to react for a moment. His fingers subconsciously applied more pressure and there was a snap—a jade hairpin he had taken from Zuo Qiuyang’s head was crushed to pieces by his grip.

Such incredible strength?

With just a little effort, he had crushed the jade into powder.

Yet between his fingers, there appeared something else.

He clenched the object and pulled it out from what remained of the hairpin.

It wasn’t a silver note, but a slip of paper.

After spreading it out and examining it in the starlight, he found it to be covered in tiny, disorderly script that was incoherent and unreadable, whether from left to right or top to bottom.

“What’s this?”

He instinctively glanced at Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun, too, was baffled. She leaned in to inspect it closely, but after a moment, shook her head: “This must be a secret letter. One needs to know the method of decryption to understand it.”

“Need a cipher book?”

Su Mo was surprised, as the item had been stored by Zuo Qiuyang inside his hairpin, showing how much he valued it.

After a slight pause, Su Mo placed it inside his clothing: “Let’s go.”

The chaos of this night, from this point forward, had nothing to do with him and Yang Xiaoyun anymore.

The two found an inn, naturally rented a room, and each rested without mention.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.

Upon leaving the guest room, they ordered some food and drink in the main hall, eating while listening to people nearby discussing the events of the previous night.

“City Lord Hua seldom takes action, but when he does, he is ruthless. The men under Zuo Qiuyang are either dead or injured, and all the places they controlled are now in City Lord Hua’s grasp.”

“It’s also strange that Zuo Qiuyang harbored ill intentions, trying to frame City Lord Hua with such vile means. He had it coming.”

“How did City Lord Hua know that Zhan Ming of the Meteor Sword was protected by Zuo Qiuyang?”

“Who knows? The struggles between the leaders of the Phoenix Alliance are too far removed from us. It’s enough to occasionally watch the excitement; to really get to the bottom of it… not to mention whether you have the ability, knowing too much might not be a blessing.”

“That’s true… Oh, I heard something.”

“What is it?”

“There’s a rumor that Zuo Qiuyang committed suicide in his manor. But this morning, it seems that a body identical to Zuo Qiuyang’s was found in a narrow alley?”

“Really?”

“How should I know… I heard that the body was already taken away by the Phoenix Alliance.”

Hearing this, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, each with an unspoken understanding.

Their existence hadn’t been revealed by Hua Qianyu.

Moreover, the relationship between Wei Ziyi and Hua Qianyu still remained a secret.

Speeding up their meal, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun finally settled the bill and left Tianyu City, bustling as ever and no different from yesterday.

…

…

Tianyu City, the City Lord Manor!

In the deepest room of the City Lord Manor, a woman was sitting at a desk, carefully trimming a pot of flowers.

Each snip of her shears was extremely cautious, as if she was afraid of mistakenly cutting any branch.

It was hard to determine this woman’s age.

Her face was still fair and tight, her hands slender and soft.

Her long hair was tied back with a thin red silk thread, naturally falling upon her white robe.

She was Hua Qianyu!

Hua Qianyu occasionally looked up to see across from her a carefree girl, eating a greasy chicken leg with grease all over her face.

Gently shaking her head: “You can’t get married like this.”

This remark would sound unpleasant to any woman.

“You’re like this, and I haven’t seen you get married either.”

Wei Ziyi retorted.

“Nonsense.”

Hua Qianyu glanced at Wei Ziyi: “How would it look if such words were to spread?”

“Would it even spread?”

Wei Ziyi took another bite of the chicken leg: “Zuo Qiuyang actually had a trick up his sleeve, the ’golden cicada shedding its skin’, quite unforeseen.”

“He has schemed in Tianyu City for many years, only to become the Deputy City Lord.

“Sly and venomous, it’s clear from the Death Soldiers he raised.

“Such a person having one or two substitutes isn’t really that surprising.”

“That makes sense, I see you’re not at all surprised.”

“That’s because I knew, no matter what tricks he had, he would not survive last night.”

“Why?”

“Because…”

Hua Qianyu stopped mid-sentence, thoughtfully glanced at Wei Ziyi, and smiled: “Getting along well with Su, the Chief of the Escort?”

“…Why suddenly ask this?”

Wei Ziyi was stunned.

“What kind of person is he?”

Hua Qianyu lowered her head again and asked softly.

Her voice didn’t carry the authority of a city lord, but was as gentle as a breeze carrying the scent of flowers.

Yet, it had a powerful persuasive quality, compelling those who heard her to respond.

Wei Ziyi pondered for a moment and said in all seriousness: “He is a very frightening person.”

“Frightening?”

Hua Qianyu looked at Wei Ziyi in surprise: “Then we must not become enemies with him.”

“Anyone who wants to be his enemy should at least prepare themselves.”

“Prepare what?”

“Prepare a coffin for themselves.”
