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

Chapter 154: Chapter 119 Lose Knife_3

Having bid farewell to the employee leading the way to the inn, Liu Mo excused himself and returned to his room to rest, while Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun huddled together.

As the door closed, Yang Xiaoyun breathed a huge sigh of relief:

“That was close, but surprisingly smooth.”

Her eyes widened in astonishment.

“…”

Su Mo was speechless for a moment: “It should be smooth, after all, we can’t encounter the Youquan Sect on every escort trip, making business for the escort agency too difficult…”

“Shh, don’t jinx it by talking nonsense.”

Yang Xiaoyun glared at Su Mo, and then sat down at the table: “This trip has been a success, unlike the previous encounter in Xuanji Valley.

“That time it was more about boosting your personal reputation, but this time it really put the name of Ziyang Escort Agency on the map.”

Su Mo smiled and poured her a cup of tea: “Wet your throat.”

“Mm.”

Yang Xiaoyun took a sip: “However, on this journey, the most troublesome ones should have been Black Gold Blade Zhao Cheng, Ma Daqing of Ma Wangzhai, and other bandit leaders, but unexpectedly, they were all taken care of by Monk Hongyun beforehand.”

“Indeed.”

Su Mo nodded: “In the past, Master Hongyun of Hongyun Temple didn’t act because he wasn’t confident in handling them with his martial arts. Now achieving a breakthrough, he acted decisively, which indeed brought us a bargain.”

“So, I’m thinking, on our way back, we should visit the Hongyun Temple to pay respects. Master Hongyun is not simple, and building a relationship with him is beneficial.”

“Sister Yun, aren’t you afraid I’ll be bewitched by this charming monk and really become a monk?”

Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun with half a smile.

Yang Xiaoyun was startled, her face turning red with embarrassment: “You… why do you have to tease me?”

“Hahaha.”

Su Mo laughed heartily and eyed the girl before him, finding that Yang Xiaoyun had become increasingly feminine along the journey.

The memory of the tomboy who was always ready to punch seemed to fade away.

But then he heard Yang Xiaoyun say: “If one day you really decide to become a monk, you must take me with you. If you become a monk, I’ll become a nun. After all, in this lifetime, you can’t get rid of me.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt a faint tremor in his heart.

Yang Xiaoyun also didn’t expect to say such words herself, and her face flushed red as she quickly got up and ran off.

Su Mo stayed where he was, forgetting to chase her, but she grasped the door handle, turned to look back at Su Mo.

Her eyes shone with thousands of expressions, unsaid yet seeming as if they spoke volumes.

At last, she gave a bright smile: “I’m going back to rest.”

With that, she hurried out the door and fled.

It took Su Mo a long while to recover, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips.

…

…

The banquet arranged by Manager Cheng was held within the inn.

The second floor was reserved with several private rooms, sufficient for both the escort agency employees and the Guards Team to seat themselves comfortably.

Now that the mission was complete, Su Mo hadn’t imposed a drinking ban, but he had warned beforehand that everyone could drink tonight, albeit in moderation; anyone getting drunk would be severely reprimanded.

This order dampened the spirits, but having gotten used to listening to Su Mo, everyone agreed without objections.

Even though they could only drink a little, the atmosphere was quite lively.

Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, and Liu Mo were accompanied by Manager Cheng personally.

Throughout the conversation, Manager Cheng mostly praised how capable Su Mo and the others were, while Su Mo complimented Manager Cheng for his shrewdness and business acumen.

Compliments were exchanged, mostly just pleasantries.

During the casual conversation, Liu Mo suddenly asked:

“Why did the Heavenly Blade Sect suddenly block Five Directions Gathering? Manager Cheng, have you heard anything about this?”

Manager Cheng glanced at Liu Mo and chuckled: “I knew you would ask. The Heavenly Blade Sect has kept it tight, and others might not be able to find any information. I do know a bit, though whether it’s true or false, I cannot say.”

As he spoke, he took a sip from his wine cup while Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun used tea instead of wine.

Liu Mo shot Manager Cheng a look: “Stop beating around the bush.”

“Hehe.”

Manager Cheng chuckled, got up to check outside the door ensuring everything was clear, then returned and sat down, whispering:

“Something major has happened at the Heavenly Blade Sect!”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged surprised looks.

Liu Mo’s eyebrows knotted tighter: “Continue.”

“This person… has disappeared.”

Manager Cheng spoke: “Before his disappearance, he took on an escort task, but what exactly the escort item was remains unknown. Not long after his disappearance, a blade from Wanfeng Pool of the Heavenly Blade Sect went missing; the Moon Blade.”

“The heirloom blade of the seventh-generation master of the Heavenly Blade Sect?”

Liu Mo was taken aback: “Why would someone steal that?”

“Who knows?”

Manager Cheng shook his head: “However, I heard that the person who broke into Wanfeng Pool is very skilled in martial arts and extremely familiar with the techniques of the Heavenly Blade Sect.Originally, Wanfeng Pool is where disciples of the sect bury their blades, and it’s heavily guarded. Yet this person moved as if in an uninhabited realm, taking the Moon Blade away effortlessly from under the noses of the guards.

“Following that, the disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect descended the mountain to block Five Directions Gathering and the nearby areas of the sect, all in an effort to capture this person.

“However, what happened in the end is still unknown to us.”
