Chapter 477: Chapter 227 Borrowing Jian Yi’s Sword

That day, Su Mo took the flag order bearer to the Ziyang Sect headquarters.

Wei Ziyi, with the letter from Yun Jiuying, went to the Lengyue Palace headquarters.

Eventually, both of them returned to the inn at sunset.

However, Wei Ziyi’s strange expression caught the attention of Su Mo and the others.

After inquiring, they learned that after reading the letter from Yun Jiuying, the second palace master flew into a rage.

She not only tore the letter to shreds but also berated Yun Jiuying for an hour.

Su Mo hadn’t even had the chance to gloat when he found out the Second Palace Master had cursed him for half an hour as well.

Where did this firecracker come from?

Su Mo listened, completely baffled.

As for what was written in the letter, Wei Ziyi did not say, but it was not hard to guess.

It involved Yun Jiuying, Wei Ziyi, and Su Mo… what else could it be?

Su Mo and Wei Ziyi tacitly ended this topic.

However, when Wei Ziyi asked what Su Mo had been up to that day, Su Mo just smiled without saying a word.

He merely said, “When the time comes, you all will know.”

Wei Ziyi really wished she could split this riddle-monger in half right there and then.

As for Fu Han Yuan and Hu Sandao, they were quite curious too but they didn’t ask since Su Mo hadn’t elaborated.

As subordinates, they knew that when needed, instructions would naturally come from above.

Why probe into so many matters usually?

If there’s food, eat more. If there’s excitement, watch more. Living life a bit more joyfully isn’t a bad thing.

Fu Han Yuan found that since joining the escort agency, his mentality had gradually leveled out…

The night passed peacefully without a breeze or wave.

But the next day, a piece of news spread throughout Tianqu City.

Wan Cangxin’s senior apprentice brother had struck again!

And this time, he targeted two people.

One was Guyun Sect Xu Zhou, and the other was Qingshan Sect’s Ximen Yuan.

The fortunate thing was, unlike Huayang Sect’s Zeng Quan, these two did not die.

Because at the time of the incident, they happened to be together.

They joined forces to meet the enemy, and although they were ultimately no match and were gravely injured,

they eventually caught the attention of the Seven Great Sects’ night patrol teams, startling the assailant away and narrowly escaping death.

Although they were badly wounded, they were still alive.

According to their statements, the person who attacked them indeed used the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword.

And their mastery was profound!

The attacker was dressed in black and masked, seemingly also capable of using the martial arts of the Eternal Night Valley.

But whether it was Wan Cangxin’s senior apprentice brother, since they did not see the person’s face, they could not confirm.

And this matter could no longer be pinned on Wan Cangxin.

Because Wan Cangxin had promised to give an explanation to everyone, he was with Luo Changsheng the entire time when the incident happened.

Not just disciples from Yuan Shan Sword Sect were with him, but also disciples from Huayang Sect.

Thus, a cast-iron alibi thoroughly cleared Wan Cangxin of any suspicion.

But clearing the suspicion did not bring Wan Cangxin any joy.

Because… the problem still existed.

Meanwhile, Su Mo had not been idle these past two days either.

It’s just that as the Chief of the Southwest Escort Agency, who came to Tianqu City to watch the excitement, he had no reason or suitable identity to get involved in this matter.

After all, the Yuan Shan Sword Sect is currently in charge in Tianqu City.

Without a strong enough reason, even people from the Ziyang Sect would avoid getting involved to prevent conflict of interest.

The Seven Great Sects take turns managing Tianqu City, and the nuances in this rotation must be handled properly.

When it’s my turn to manage, do you have any objections by pointing fingers?

These kinds of issues are always sensitive and fragile.

Moreover… they may not necessarily wish to get involved.

So, all Su Mo could do was to discuss with Wei Ziyi why the victims had to be these two.

Xu Zhou and Ximen Yuan were both seasoned experts in Jianghu.

Both possessing extraordinary martial arts skills.

Guyun Sect Xu Zhou’s Cloud Mountain Mist seventy-two forms and Qingshan Sect’s Heavenly Star Eight Nails are not to be trifled with.

Fighting together, they almost died on the spot.

So… why did Wan Cangxin’s senior apprentice brother choose to target them instead of others?

What was the motive?

Was there grudges or enmity between them? Or was it an indiscriminate selection without grievances?

Su Mo and Wei Ziyi discussed for a long time but could not figure it out.

However, just as their conversation was about to end, Su Mo glanced at the scar-faced strange guest who was having a drinking duel with Hu Sandao.

Through prolonged confrontation, Hu Sandao had finally gleaned some experience.

Going in hard didn’t work, to deal with the scar-faced strange guest required some tricks.

So, he had Fu Han Yuan prepare two jars for him.

One was filled with water, while the other contained strong liquor.

Hu Sandao lifted the jar and drank water, while the scar-faced strange guest guzzled the liquor, consuming half a jar in the blink of an eye.

Seeing his eyes begin to blur, Hu Sandao thought he had succeeded.

Instead, the scar-faced strange guest unhesitatingly circulated his Inner Strength, astonishingly dissipating all effects of the alcohol.

Furious, Hu Sandao cursed the scar-faced strange guest for playing dirty.

The scar-faced strange guest was equally vociferous in cursing Hu Sandao for the same.

Yet… there was always a sense that both of them were somehow right.

And so ended another night.

However, the number of people who ran into trouble within Tianqu City had increased by one more.

This time, a man surnamed Hu met with misfortune — Hu Dingming!

This man belonged to no sect nor school, but was a Jianghu wanderer.
