Chapter 200: Chapter 135 Bullying

The banquet in the courtyard was drawing to a close when Su Mo arrived, with Yang Xiaoyun busily engaging in a drinking contest with several female bodyguards.

She indeed had a high alcohol tolerance, not to be outdone by men—a statement not made in vain.

A few of the female bodyguards, however, were staggering and swaying, evidently on the brink of collapsing to the ground.

Seeing Su Mo return, Yang Xiaoyun then came up to him:

“How did it go?”

“Released.”

“Do you think it’ll be useful?”

“Maybe.”

Su Mo said with a smile:

“This person has unique martial arts skills and is smooth in handling people, with his own approach. After being released, he might just play some interesting roles.”

“You seem to have quite the confidence in him.”

Yang Xiaoyun was rather surprised.

Su Mo shook his head slightly and repeated to her what Xu Lu had told him earlier.

“This person has a rather tragic background. Being able to not vent his anger on the wrong people, indeed, he counts as a real man.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “Although that’s the way it should be, how many people can still keep their true nature after suddenly gaining powerful abilities? Sometimes, the speed of drawing a blade often surpasses that of thought.”

“Mm, we can’t fully believe what he said, but these words shouldn’t all be fabricated.

“All right, let’s not think about him. It’s just an idle move in the game; come on, join me for a drink.”

“Alright, today we won’t stop until we’re drunk!”

“I’m certainly not afraid of that challenge.”

The two of them immediately clinked their cups and drank together, taking advantage of the night to savor the Qian Kun in the pot.

At the end, there were few who could walk back to their rooms on their own.

Su Mo was assisted to his room by Yang Xiaoyun, who, after placing Su Mo on the ground, climbed onto the bed herself. With a flip of her body, she was out like a light.

This left Su Mo speechless for a moment.

He had no choice but to get up and, seeing this woman who was drunk and reeking of alcohol, subconsciously reached out to touch her face.

“Stop it…”

Yang Xiaoyun swatted his hand away and turned under the blanket into the bed.

Su Mo shook his head and sobered himself up a bit. Sitting cross-legged, he circulated his inner breath, and in just a moment, he expelled a breath of alcohol from his system.

In no time, his eyes and ears became clear, and his mind instantly sobered up.

Listening to the faint snoring sounds made by Yang Xiaoyun, Su Mo smirked:

“Uncle Fu is also somewhat muddled, it seems.”

Sitting quietly by the bedside, the night eventually passed by just like that.

At the moment when the morning sunlight streamed into the room, Yang Xiaoyun suddenly sat up and looked around in confusion, only to see Su Mo smiling at her from the bedside.

She blinked, looked down at her attire, then looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression:

“Is this how you used to roam through the flowers?”

“…”

The corner of Su Mo’s mouth twitched; he realized that this girl sometimes really didn’t know what to say.

Yang Xiaoyun seemed to realize what she had said, and immediately blushed with shame, only to see Su Mo drawing closer.

Their eyes met, and Yang Xiaoyun felt her breath hitch.

“What… what are you going to do?”

Yang Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.

“Roaming through the flowers…”

Su Mo squeezed these words through his teeth.

Yang Xiaoyun let out a ’yah’ and tumbled and scrambled away from him. After landing, she ran out as if her butt were on fire, shooting Su Mo a fierce glare before leaving the room.

Seeing Su Mo sitting by the bed, watching her with a half-smile, she spat out in exasperation and hurriedly disappeared from sight.

Su Mo let out a soft breath, his gaze gradually becoming pensive:

“I was drunk, such a good opportunity, and yet no one made a move?

“This kind of patience is indeed worthy of a second look.

“The Three Extremes Sect… what is their real strength?

“Fine, let’s see how long they can endure.”

After having breakfast, Su Mo said goodbye to Uncle Fu and then started packing his things.

The Mandarin Duck List is not like other things and can be carried close to the body.

The small box isn’t big; it fits easily into his bag to carry along.

This journey was different from the one with Wanxin Trading Company and didn’t require so many people.

So after packing up, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun led two fast horses and set off directly.

But before leaving, he reminded Uncle Fu and Xiao Chuan that the escort agency would temporarily cease operations until their return.

They left Luoxia City and headed directly east.

This route was actually quite familiar to Yang Xiaoyun, since the Iron Blood Escort Agency frequently did business to the east, and she was well-practiced in dealing with all the route’s nuances.

After traveling for about ten days, passing Zhongfu City, the road was flat and unobstructed.

By dusk that day, they had reached the foot of Huayang Mountain.

After Huayang Mountain, it was Three Rivers Bay.

Hui River, Heng River, and Tongshui River converged there, dividing the waters and continuing eastward through tributaries.

Therefore, after passing Huayang Mountain, they could switch to waterway.

Travelling for three to five days by water, upon reaching the shore at Jiyang Ferry, they would be entering the Dongcheng territory.

At this moment, however, the two had missed any lodging, and even after looking around, not even a decrepit temple could be found.

A heavy snowfall had just occurred in the territory a few days ago, making the night travel through the snow especially tough. They decided to clear an area in the forest, started a fire, and rested by its light.

“We should have brought a pot before leaving home.”

As Yang Xiaoyun skillfully skewered a rabbit she had just caught on a branch, she spoke with a hint of regret, “Otherwise, there would have been plenty of mushrooms around here, and paired with rabbit, I could have stewed a pot of rabbit meat for you, wouldn’t that be great?”
