Chapter 316: Chapter 173 The End of the Song and the People Disperse_2

"We understand."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun clasped their fists and said, "In that case, City Lord Wu, please take care on your journey."

"Alright, I’ll see you in Luoxia City."

Wu Daoyou waved his hand and left first with the trusted members of the Luofeng Alliance.

At this point, only Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, Liu Mo, Feng Baichuan, Fu Han Yuan, and Zhen Xiaoxiao were left at the scene.

Su Mo glanced at them, and before he could speak, Liu Mo had already said:

"Don’t worry, we will surely keep the matters here confidential."

"Chief Liu truly understands my heart."

Su Mo smiled.

"Ah... The matter at hand is no trivial thing, and although we only have a limited understanding at the moment, everyone knows the perils of loose talk."

Liu Mo said, "Even at the cost of my life, I would never reveal a single word."

The others also expressed their commitment to confidentiality.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun immediately thanked them earnestly, and then Su Mo asked, "Speaking of which, Chief Liu, what do you plan to do next?"

Now that his heart’s troubles were resolved and Tong Yun was dead, the constraints that had bound him for many years dissipated in an instant.

It was truly a case of the sky being high and wide for birds to soar, and the ocean vast enough for fish to leap.

However, when asked by Su Mo, Liu Mo became somewhat at a loss.

"I joined Wanxin Trading Company mainly because it allowed me to regularly visit Five Directions Gathering and incidentally earn a living.

"Now that I’ve pushed aside the errands at Five Directions Gathering, I truly have no place to go for the time being."

He said that, then suddenly looked at Su Mo, blinked, and asked:

"Um... Lord Su, I have a somewhat impertinent request..."

"Uh-huh?"

Su Mo looked at him curiously, "Please feel free to speak."

"I’m wondering if the Ziyang Escort Agency could use more hands? I plan to earn my keep at your place, Lord Su, and wonder if you’d be willing to take me in?"

"This..."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, and Su Mo said with a smile: "Chief Liu is being too modest. With your high martial arts prowess, if you would deign to join us, I would be more than welcoming, let alone unwilling.

"However, if Chief Liu were to join the escort agency, I’m afraid the only position suitable would be that of an Escort Leader. I just don’t know if you would feel undermined?"

"Of course not!"

Liu Mo laughed heartily: "With Lord Su’s supreme martial arts, the Ziyang Escort Agency is bound to become renowned across Jianghu. If I become an Escort Leader of Ziyang Escort Agency, perhaps I can also gain fame along with the agency’s rising prestige.

"Here I am, paying my respects to Lord Su!"

As he spoke, he knelt on one knee and gave a solemn salute.

Su Mo immediately stepped forward to help him up: "Escort Leader Liu is too courteous."

He quickly changed the way he addressed him.

Liu Mo may seem quiet and reticent, but he’s clear-hearted.

For the sake of his conscience and filial piety, he suffered for decades, and although somewhat stubborn, he commands respect.

Su Mo is genuinely pleased to have such a person join the escort agency.

Fu Han Yuan, who was standing by the side, blinked his eyes and looked at Su Mo and Liu Mo, uncertain for a moment.

After a short pause, he finally spoke up:

"Lord Su..."

He feared Su Mo greatly, and regretted opening his mouth after just four words.

When Su Mo turned his gaze towards him, he involuntarily shrank his neck.

"Do you have something to say?"

Su Mo asked.

He unconsciously wanted to shake his head, but after hesitating, he quickly nodded.

Su Mo was momentarily speechless: "Do you want to shake your head or nod? Speak clearly."

"I... I also have a request, but never mind!"

Fu Han Yuan gritted his teeth: "I wish to join the Ziyang Escort Agency as well, and I ask for Lord Su’s permission."

"Oh?"

Su Mo was startled: "You want to join my humble Ziyang Escort Agency?"

"...With you there, who dares to call the Ziyang Escort Agency humble?"

Fu Han Yuan cautiously looked at Su Mo: "I genuinely wish to join the Ziyang Escort Agency, please approve, Lord Su."

Su Mo thoughtfully looked at Fu Han Yuan, then suddenly smiled:

"Tell me, what’s your reason? Don’t lie to me, speak the truth!"

The last four words carried a stern edge.

Fu Han Yuan shivered subconsciously and, after hesitating a few moments, finally sighed: "I... also aspire to become famous in Jianghu!"

Everyone exchanged glances, speechless.

Su Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly: "I think you’ve misunderstood; my place is an escort agency... If you want to become famous in Jianghu, you should, like before, go challenge other masters."

Fu Han Yuan, however, shook his head repeatedly:

"Previously, I thought challenging masters was the fastest way to become famous.

"Yet, my martial arts knowledge is somewhat superficial – enough to deal with ordinary people, but lacking when facing real masters.

"The Sky Frost True Qi is indeed extraordinary, but what I can harness from it is somewhat lacking."

As he reached this point in his explanation, he felt a surge of clarity in expressing himself and decided to lay it all out:

"Moreover, after this incident, I’ve realized that surviving in Jianghu isn’t just about martial prowess.

"The schemes plotted by the Three Extremes Sect are too cruel. A person like me, unaware of the details, can be easily manipulated by them.

"Today, they used me to challenge the Heavenly Blade Sect.

"Suffice to say, it was still relatively alright this time... at least I didn’t commit a grave mistake.

"But if tomorrow I encounter even more ruthless people and fall into their schemes, I... If I end up killing innocent people, then what?"
