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

Chapter 182: Chapter 129: Asceticism

“May I ask which one of you is Su, the Chief of the Escort?”

The sound came, and everyone instinctively looked towards the door.

They saw an old man and a young girl standing outside the inn, peering inside.

The older one must be over sixty, with gray hair and a rather ruddy complexion. His clothes were not luxurious but very appropriate.

Next to him was a girl around sixteen or seventeen.

Her gaze was timid, looking at the people inside the inn including Su Mo, with a hint of shyness.

For a moment, people didn’t understand where this old man and young girl had come from.

Su Mo immediately smiled: “Are you looking for me?”

“Are you Su, the Chief of the Escort?”

The old man looked up at Su Mo, his eyes showed a measuring light, and after a moment he nodded gently:

“Old man has seen Su, the Chief of the Escort. Wan’er, come and greet Su, the Chief of the Escort.”

“Gre…greetings to Su, the Chief of the Escort.”

The young girl timidly performed a salute.

“Do you know me?”

Su Mo asked curiously.

“No.”

The old man quickly shook his head: “However, rumors in Jianghu are always heard. Thus, we know that Su, the Chief of the Escort, is from the Ziyang Escort Agency in Luoxia City.”

“That is correct.”

Su Mo said with a smile: “Old man, don’t stand while talking, please sit down first, we can talk slowly. Xiao Chuan, go prepare, pay off the inn fees and wait at the entrance.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Chuan agreed, about to go do it.

Manager Cheng quickly said, “Brother Xiao Chuan, this won’t do, we absolutely can’t let you pay for the inn again.”

Amidst speaking, he chased after Xiao Chuan, insisting on paying the fees.

However, the old man did not sit down but looked around, appearing somewhat troubled.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, “Shall I ask the Shopkeeper for a private room?”

“That would trouble Su, the Chief of the Escort.”

The old man was unapologetic and nodded his head.

Su Mo did not take offense, just signaled to the Shopkeeper, who quickly had the waiter lead a few people to a private room upstairs.

At this point, the old man and the girl finally sat down, and after the waiter poured tea for both parties, he left.

Su Mo asked with a smile, “May I know your esteemed name, old sir?”

“Not at all, not at all.”

The old man hurriedly said, “The old man’s surname is Li, Li Siyun.”

“So it is Lord Li, may I know what brings you to seek us this time?”

Su Mo asked with a smile.

“In truth…”

Li Siyun smiled and said, “I am originally from Luoxia City, having been influenced by my family from a young age, I wandered around Donghuang as a merchant after growing up, owning some properties.

“However, as they say, unforeseen storms may arise, and the path of commerce is even more turbulent, with hidden dangers lurking as if another Jianghu without the sight of blades and swords.

“Many years ago, I was deceived by villains which led to my family’s downfall, losing the foundation built by my ancestors.

“Then, still in my prime years, unwilling to concede, I gathered all my remaining assets in a desperate bid…

“The details are many, but to cut a long story short.

“At that time, I converted all my money into goods planning to venture deep into Dongcheng for trade.

“Unexpectedly, a mishap occurred on the road.

“The guards who had always traveled with me conspired with local ruffians, ambushed us on the road, turning traitors. In just a short time, everyone with me was killed.

“Just when I thought I was also doomed, suddenly I heard someone shouting, ’Who dares to commit crimes under the broad daylight?’

“I looked up to see a young knight wielding a long spear, charging into the crowd, and started fighting without a word.

“Amazing!”

Li Siyun’s eyes glimmered as he continued:

“Truly, his spear moved like a dragon, defeating enemies effortlessly. In no time, he had almost killed all the gang.

“This man saved my life, and after explaining my situation, it turned out we were traveling in the same direction.

“He said he also had business in Dongcheng and offered to escort me along the way to prevent further attacks.

“With his divine help, I barely managed to escape with my life.

“But because of this, I gave up my original plan, sold the goods hastily in a town, and after recovering my capital, returned to Luoxia City, and eventually settled in Five Directions Gathering.

“Over the years, with age, the ambitions of my younger years have long dissipated like the mists of yesterday.

“Only the righteousness of that knight from years ago remains unforgettable.

“Thus, hearing that you all are from an escort agency from Luoxia City, I ventured to visit, actually having a favor to ask.”

He said this and gestured to Wan’er.

Immediately, Wan’er nodded and from the bundle behind her, took out a small box and placed it on the table, then personally opened it, turning the box towards Su Mo.

“Su, the Chief of the Escort, please have a look.”

Li Siyun motioned with his hand.

Su Mo leaned forward to look and found that the box contained some silver notes, jade, and jewels, and under these items, there was also a booklet.

The booklet had three big characters: Mandarin Duck List.

“What is this?”

Su Mo looked up at Li Siyun.
