Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 27 - : Incoming Escort

Uncle Fu really put thought into this midday meal.

In the past, when the two families were close friends, Yang Xiaoyun had often eaten at Ziyang Escort Agency. Uncle Fu knew exactly what she liked and disliked.

This table was almost entirely catered to Yang Xiaoyun's tastes.

Yang Xiaoyun couldn't stop praising, continuously complimenting Uncle Fu's impressive cooking skills.

Uncle Fu, with a broad grin showing his teeth but not his eyes, spoke from behind Su Mo:

"Miss Yun, if you like it, you should come more often. I'll cook delicious food for you."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly, "Uncle Fu, there's no need for 'next time.' For the coming period, I plan to stay at Ziyang Escort Agency and not leave."

"Ah?"

Uncle Fu was startled and instinctively glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo coughed once, "Sister Yun, we should discuss this matter further."

"Discuss what? Why does everything need to be discussed at length? Can you not just be straightforward?"

Yang Xiaoyun glared at Su Mo.

Su Mo's mouth twitched, and he looked to Uncle Fu for help, only to see Uncle Fu turning around and walking away.

Su Mo was taken aback, "Uncle Fu, where are you going?"

"To tidy up a room for Miss Yun."

"..."

How could a traitor appear amidst this major crisis?

Su Mo looked helplessly at Yang Xiaoyun, who grinned and said, "Let's eat."

Before the meal was finished, Uncle Fu had returned from outside.

"Young Master, there's someone outside asking to see you."

"Do you know them?"

"He claims his surname is Ji, has an unfamiliar face, and seems to have a matter to discuss."

Su Mo was startled and nodded slightly: "Let him wait in the living room, I'll be right there."

"Alright."

Uncle Fu agreed and turned to leave.

Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo exchanged glances, both discerning the meaning in each other's eyes.

"In these uncertain times, we need to be cautious with unfamiliar visitors."

Yang Xiaoyun cautioned.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Su Mo nodded, "I'll go take a look first."

"I'll go with you."

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo didn't refuse.

Both set down their utensils, tidied up a bit, and then headed to the living room.

Naturally, Ziyang Escort Agency's living room couldn't compare to that of Iron Blood Escort Agency—it was simply and modestly furnished, and even the tea wasn't of high quality.

The visitor, dressed in gray and of ordinary appearance, was sitting sedately, sipping tea.

Next to him on the table, there was a case placed.

After Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun arrived in the living room, the man heard their footsteps and had just stood up, but upon seeing them, he was taken aback: "Um... May I ask who you both are?"

Yang Xiaoyun almost laughed out loud.

Visiting someone's house yet asking for the hosts' names?

How can there be such logic under the heavens?

Su Mo smiled: "I am Su Mo, the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency."

The man was stunned, then instinctively clasped his fist: "I have long admired you..."

Although he said he admired him, his expression suggested that even he himself didn't believe it.

However, he quickly recovered his composure: "Please don't mind, I just didn't expect the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency to be so young... Oh, right, I am Ji Shuhua, I have had the honor of meeting Chief Su."

Su Mo rolled these three words in his mind, and already knew who this person was, smiling slightly:

"So it is Yi Qi Qian Qiu Ji Shu Hua in person, my apologies for any disrespect."

"Friends of Jianghu flatter me, you make me laugh."

Ji Shuhua's face was full of smiles, although he said it in jest, Su Mo's words clearly hit the right spot.

This Yi Qi Qian Qiu Ji Shu Hua had a somewhat renowned name in Jianghu. Although his martial arts were average, he was known for one trait - his love of making friends.

This man was not picky about his friends; he befriended people from all walks of life.

And when friends faced difficulties, he would never skimp on lending a hand.

This earned him the nickname Yi Qi Qian Qiu.

After a bit of polite conversation, they took their seats as host and guest, and Su Mo then asked:

"Where does Hero Ji come from?"

He did not ask why the visitor had come or say anything like 'no one visits without a reason,' as that could seem overbearing.

Since it was their first meeting, it was proper to leave some decorum, asking 'where do you come from' also implicitly included the question of what he was here for.

"To tell the truth, this trip was entrusted to me by someone."

Ji Shuhua smiled, straightforwardly: "And this abrupt visit is because there is an escort to deliver."

"Oh?"

Su Mo glanced at the case beside Ji Shuhua, pondered for a moment and said: "May I know who entrusted this?"

"A friend of mine."

Ji Shuhua said, "This man is not well-known, and likes to keep a low profile, hence he does not wish his name to be frequently mentioned, please excuse this, Chief Su."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Then he heard Ji Shuhua continue:

"Though my friend does not have an outer reputation, he is profoundly skilled in metal forging and has several close acquaintances. Someone recently entrusted him to forge a weapon. After the weapon was completed, no one came to collect it; I was just passing by and he shared this matter with me... Since Chief Su knows of my humble reputation, you must understand that I often meddle in others' affairs, especially when it involves my friend, I cannot just ignore it.

"I initially thought of delivering the weapon myself, but after arriving in Luoxia City, I encountered another matter which made carrying this item inconvenient. Losing it by carelessness would be even more regretful.

"Thus, I thought of asking an escort agency to deliver it on my behalf.

"I had thought of asking Iron Blood, Yangwei, or Heavenly Gate as they are large and prestigious, but their fees are quite steep.

"Being a wanderer of Jianghu, I don't carry much money. After much consideration, I then learned of the Ziyang Escort Agency.

"Though it was really abrupt for me to come like this, I hope Chief Su could help take on this delivery job."

His words streamed smoothly, though the friend's identity was never disclosed, yet the whole story was made clear.

Su Mo pondered for a moment, while Yang Xiaoyun gently shook her head at him.

Su Mo glanced at her, smiled, and then said to Ji Shuhua: "Since it is so, may I take a look at the entrusted item?"

"Chief Su, please see."

As his words fell, he gently tapped the case, which zoomed towards Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled silently, watching as the case reached him and with a flick of his hand, made the entire case spin in mid-air a few times before steadily landing in his palm.

Ji Shuhua sighed a breath of relief, stood up, and clasped his fist:

"Please don't be offended, Chief Su. As the Chief is so young and the matter being so crucial, I felt compelled to test you. But I did not expect that despite your young age, your martial arts are exceptional, which is truly admirable. Ji Shuhua here offers sincere apologies."

As he finished speaking, he bowed deeply, which was indeed crisp.
