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

Chapter 183: Chapter 129 Asceticism_2

Li Siyun sighed, “As an old man, I have moved around the Five Directions Gathering and now I find myself unable to leave this place. I’ve always wanted to repay the kindness of that knight from my younger days. Over the years, I’ve been preparing a gift but always felt something was missing. Now in my sixties, I’m no longer up for long journeys.

“I really wanted to deliver this gift personally to my benefactor, but unfortunately, I’m not capable.

“Thus, I implore Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, to deliver this item to my benefactor from those days.”

While he spoke, he took out two silver notes from the box, totaling two hundred taels of silver, and placed them on the table: “This is the escort fee for Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort. What do you think?”

Su Mo understood why the old man was so forthright.

By opening the item there, it was as if he was validating the escort job.

He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, yet he was also curious, “I wonder who this gift is for? The knight you mentioned, who is he?”

“I suppose Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, must have heard of this person.”

Li Siyun laughed heartily, “This person is none other than Chief Yang Yizhi of the Iron Blood Escort Agency, the Iron Blood Dragon Spear!”

…

Yang Xiaoyun, who had been quietly sitting and listening, nearly choked on her tea when she heard this.

So, after listening for so long, it turned out to be a story about her father’s heroic deeds from his younger days?

Su Mo also wore a strange expression.

Li Siyun seemed puzzled, “Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, have you never heard of him?”

“No… it is indeed a name that thunders in one’s ears.”

Su Mo said smiling, “But if that’s the case, then I can take this escort job.”

It was not just because the delivery was meant for Yang Yizhi.

More importantly, as soon as the name Yang Yizhi was mentioned, a system prompt arrived.

[Mission: Deliver Li Siyun’s gratitude gift to Yang Yizhi of the Iron Blood Escort Agency in Luoxia City.]

[Accept the mission?]

If it were any other task, he might have hesitated. After all, being from outside the Five Directions, they were foreigners here, and the local escort agencies might feel slighted by them taking a job across regions.

Indeed, seeking help from an escort agency across regions might reflect poorly on local agencies, otherwise why go to such lengths?

But since it involved Yang Yizhi, Su Mo felt it necessary to accept.

It wasn’t clear what mysterious affairs Yang Yizhi had been up to, and the relationship with Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t keep dragging on.

Both father and daughter were stubborn; if he didn’t mediate, it might lead to lifelong regrets.

Yet Yang Xiaoyun seemed surprised by the Mandarin Duck List, “What’s this?”

“This is a musical score.”

Li Siyun said smilingly, “To tell the truth, I didn’t know what Chief Yang liked. Over the years, I just put things together as I saw fit. I decided to keep this Mandarin Duck List because its contents are quite extraordinary.”

“I see.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded but said no more.

Su Mo then said smilingly, “Alright, the Ziyang Escort Agency will take this job.”

“Thank you very much!”

Li Siyun immediately got up with the young girl, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.

With no more words shared, they prepared to divide the rooms and arrange the writing materials, documented the agreement, and handed over the silver. The transaction was settled.

However, Li Siyun had a precondition: he hoped that Su Mo and his team would not spread word of this escort job widely, as showcasing wealth could attract unwanted trouble.

Su Mo immediately nodded in agreement.

After seeing off the two, Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun, who rolled her eyes, “Always looking at me… You accepted the job, you should be the one to deliver it.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but grin, “That won’t do, Uncle Yang hates me to the bone. Without Sister Yun’s support, I fear I might enter with my life but not leave with it.”

“Who would dare to treat you so? You’re now highly skilled in martial arts, even dad… he couldn’t beat you now.”

Yang Xiaoyun said, feeling somewhat glad, but also a bit sad.

Meanwhile, the clerks in the escort agency and the members of the Guard Team were all dressed and ready to go.

The two of them didn’t talk more on the matter, bid Manager Cheng goodbye with cupped hands, and led their group out of the Five Directions Gathering, heading south back to Luoxia City.

…

…

The journey was uneventful, nothing noteworthy.

The escort task they were on was secretive and the amount of silver was small, unlikely to attract attention.

Several days passed without incident until they were close to reaching Hongyun Temple.

For Master Hongyun, Su Mo could not afford to be negligent.

Previously, when he and Yang Xiaoyun had returned from Heavenly Gate Mountain, they had lingered for a while in the Five Directions Gathering, purchasing a set of handwritten religious texts said to be from a highly revered figure as a gift. Now, on their way back to Hongyun Temple, they intended to deliver it to Master Hongyun.

Upon reaching the vicinity, they immediately diverted towards the mountain, but something seemed off when they saw Hongyun Temple from afar.

“Why is Hongyun Temple so quiet? The gates are closed, with no sign of any smoke or life?”

Yang Xiaoyun spoke softly.

Su Mo responded, “Stay here, I’ll go check. Tell the brothers to be extra careful.”

“Yes, you be careful too.”

Yang Xiaoyun replied, and Su Mo immediately ordered everyone to stop there. In just moments, he reached the front gate of Hongyun Temple.

The gates of Hongyun Temple were tightly locked with locks on the doors.

Su Mo paused, thought for a moment, then leapt into the air, entering the temple grounds.
