Chapter 470: Chapter 224: Be Good to Yourself_3

“I’ve been sleeping on a hard bed in the mountain stronghold for so long, waking up each time feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

“But this time, I always have a muddled feeling in my head, as if someone had slapped me on the head.”

The scar-faced strange guest sitting next to him immediately repeated his words.

At the same time, he was also moving his neck around, seemingly quite uncomfortable.

Fu Han Yuan looked at him strangely, “Could it be too cramped? How about letting him sleep on the floor at night, or you could sleep on the floor yourself?”

“…Letting him sleep on the floor, he refuses. He insists on squeezing in with me.

“As for me sleeping on the ground… Why should I?”

Hu Sandao was somewhat annoyed, unable to restrain himself from glaring fiercely at the scar-faced strange guest.

The scar-faced strange guest was also annoyed, glaring back fiercely at Hu Sandao.

Su Mo looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but smile, asking Old Hu, “Did you have a bad sleep last night?”

“Not exactly.”

Hu Sandao shook his head, “I slept till dawn, just a bit uncomfortable, no need for Lord Su to worry.”

The scar-faced strange guest immediately shook his head to repeat.

Su Mo nodded, glanced at the scar-faced strange guest, about to speak, but suddenly heard a secretive voice from the next table.

“Something happened last night.”

Their table companion immediately probed, “What happened?”

“Somebody went to cause trouble at Wan Cangxin’s place.”

“What’s so special about that?”

A fellow companion immediately curled his lips dismissively, “Ever since Wan Cangxin arrived in Tianqu City, there’s been no end to the people spying on him both openly and secretly.

“There have been quite a few who made their move, and those that didn’t end up dead were injured. The only result was that Wan Cangxin ended up compensating the Penglai Inn quite a bit of money.”

“Hahaha.”

The speaker was quite loud, and the nearby listeners couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Su Mo and Wei Ziyi exchanged glances, both of them couldn’t help but smile wryly.

But the first person to speak coldly laughed and raised his voice:

“That was just the first incident that occurred last night. Wan Cangxin displayed the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword and drove away his attackers.

“If that were all there was to it, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning.

“The real news is that last night Wan Cangxin encountered a mysterious expert, and after fighting over dozens of miles, the expert vanished without a trace.

“Wan Cangxin actually failed to capture this person.”

As soon as these words came out, they really caused different kinds of commotion.

“Can it be true?”

“Ever since Wan Cangxin entered Tianqu City, he seldom makes a move, but whenever he does, it’s earth-shattering.

“And yet someone has entangled him to this extent? I wonder which expert came?”

“Wan Cangxin himself couldn’t keep the person, how could we possibly know where he came from?”

“The Jianghu is deep, there’s always a higher mountain; we mustn’t underestimate others.”

With this new topic open, some even brought up Su Mo.

Last night, Su Mo was also present at the scene. Since they could know about someone fighting dozens of miles with Wan Cangxin, they naturally wouldn’t overlook Su Mo’s presence.

Only, they mentioned Su Mo without knowing that he was sitting quietly in the main hall.

After Fu Han Yuan and Hu Sandao heard this, they both couldn’t help but look towards Su Mo.

Let’s not talk about Hu Sandao, Fu Han Yuan also heard noises on the roof last night, but without Su Mo’s command, he didn’t get up to check.

Turned out Su Mo himself went for a stroll.

As everyone was engaged in heated discussion, curious about where the expert had come from, suddenly someone rushed into the inn’s main hall.

Shouting loudly:

“Bad news, bad news, something’s happened!!!”

Everyone turned to look towards the newcomer.

Su Mo also took a glance, not recognizing the person.

However, the people in the inn were not unfamiliar with this individual.

The man was young, around twenty years old, known as Tianqu All-Knowing.

And he delighted in spreading little pieces of news far and wide.

Some suspected he might be from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was, after all, the most well-informed, dealing in information.

It’s a pity that after a big fire years ago, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion quietly stepped back behind the scenes, although one can still find ways to reach them and buy the information they want.

But the inner workings are no longer something an ordinary person could know.

Seeing his panicked face, someone immediately laughed and said:

“Who would have thought, even you, Know-it-all, could have outdated news; we already know about last night, someone attempted to assassinate Wan Cangxin, and they fought over dozens of miles.”

The Tianqu All-Knowing was taken aback: “Ah? It’s not about that!”

Everyone was stunned: “Then what is it about?”

“The Sect Leader of Huayang Sect just arrived in Tianqu City yesterday and stayed at Penglai Inn.

“In the early morning, a disciple entered to pay respects.

“After knocking on the door for a long time with no answer, they forcefully entered and discovered that an elder of Huayang Sect had been murdered in his room.

“The sword technique used was… the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword!!”

Tianqu All-Knowing usually liked to tease others, watching their anxious reactions.

Yet he also understood that this news was extraordinary and simply spilled everything in one go.

However, upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.

After a while, there was a collective uproar.

“How could this be?”

“Sect Leader of Huayang Sect had a good reputation, how could there be a conflict with Wan Cangxin?”

“Could it be that the person who secretly made a move against Wan Cangxin last night was the Sect Leader of Huayang Sect?”

“That doesn’t make sense; not long ago Wan Cangxin helped Huayang Sect uncover a traitor within their ranks.

“This incident caused quite a stir, and yesterday after the Sect Leader settled at Penglai Inn, not wanting to disturb Wan Cangxin’s preparations, did not visit.

“But Wan Cangxin himself took the initiative to visit the old Sect Leader.

“The relationship between the two can be seen from this, how could it be Wan Cangxin’s doing?”

“And besides, where would the old Sect Leader get such impressive swordsmanship?”

“What on earth is going on here?”

As everyone discussed, they couldn’t help but turn to look at Tianqu All-Knowing.

Just as Tianqu All-Knowing was about to answer, another person arrived at the entrance.

Everyone looked up and was greatly surprised.

“It’s Luo Changsheng of Yuan Shan Sword Sect!”

“Over the last month, Yuan Shan Sword Sect has been rotating duty within Tianqu City, overseeing all matters. His sudden arrival couldn’t be for the affair of Huayang Sect’s Sect Leader, could it?”

While everyone was talking, Luo Changsheng had already entered the inn’s main hall.

His gaze swept over everyone’s faces, and he asked:

“May I ask which one of you is Su Mo from Ziyang Escort Agency, Su, the Chief of the Escort?”
