Chapter 196: Chapter 133 Homecoming_3

He said this and then clasped his hands in salute to Su Mo to apologize before continuing: “In my humble opinion, Su, the Chief of the Escort, is still a junior. His reputation may be illustrious, but he should not act haughty in front of the Chief. If you could gracefully step back, and after reaching the destination, assist the Chief in strategizing to capture the person behind the scenes,

“that would convince him that you are the worthy future son-in-law, and then the issues between you two would naturally cease to exist.

“If there are no issues between you and our Chief, there naturally wouldn’t be any between the Chief and the Young Leader.

“Ziyang Iron Blood is one family, living harmoniously—wouldn’t that be joyful for everyone?”

Captain Li, after listening, struck his thigh and praised: “Exactly, exactly, Old Zhang, your pig brain is surprisingly quick this time.”

“Shush! Nonsense, don’t let Su, the Chief of the Escort hear and laugh at us.”

Captain Zhang smiled at Su Mo and said: “But, Su, the Chief of the Escort, don’t blame me for speaking frankly just now, asking you to lower your stance… After all, acting a bit humble before an elder doesn’t really lose you any face, right? Of course, if I spoke out of turn, Old Zhang is ready to slap his own mouth.”

While speaking, he made a gesture to slap himself, but Su Mo immediately stopped him: “Captain Zhang speaks golden words, how could I possibly take offense? Well, as per both your advice, when I’m in front of Uncle Yang, I will act properly as the son-in-law, as ultimately, it is necessary to make him cheerful. Otherwise, why would he entrust his daughter to me?”

“Hahaha, exactly that logic! If you don’t sweeten father-in-law up, why would anyone entrust their daughter to your mischief?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Both men nodded repeatedly.

Any further redundant words were unrelated to the matter at hand.

After figuring out where Yang Yi was currently staying, following a brief small talk, Su Mo stood up to say goodbye.

Zhang Li, with everyone, escorted him to the door and after seeing Su Mo off, they exchanged a look and smiled.

“This Su, the Chief of the Escort, truly isn’t ordinary.”

“He doesn’t airs of arrogance, nor is he haughty despite his young fame.”

“He truly is a good match for the Young Leader.”

“Just hope the Chief realizes soon enough, such a good son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.”

The crowd muttered while closing the large door.

After Su Mo left the Iron Blood Escort Agency, he had only walked a few steps when he saw Yang Xiaoyun sitting on a stone stump, dangling her legs aimlessly.

“My my, whose daughter is this? Growing up to be so beautiful? Shouldn’t she be taken back home to be cherished dearly?”

Su Mo came up behind Yang Xiaoyun and suddenly spoke.

Yang Xiaoyun tensed up when she heard the first word from Su Mo, but she recognized his voice in the next moment.

She couldn’t help but turn around and spit in his direction: “All you know is to spout nonsense. What, are you planning to use all those tricks you learned in the brothel on me?”

“Would Sister Yun be pleased then?”

Su Mo tilted his head to look at her.

“Who would be happy about that?”

Yang Xiaoyun snorted, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Su Mo chuckled, sitting beside her: “They mean well.”

“I know.”

Yang Xiaoyun sighed: “Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li have seen me grow up, and they care for me no less than dad. I just didn’t know how to respond just now. It’s easy to speak soft words, but I don’t know Dad’s stance yet. If I soften now and Dad insists on being unyielding, what should I do then?

“Rather than that, it’s better not to show my stance before his is clear.

“Besides, what you said that day was reasonable. If this is truly dad’s will, wouldn’t it be betraying his intentions if I spoke to them now?

“And because of this, I don’t even know how to talk to them.”

“I understand.”

Su Mo nodded, took Yang Xiaoyun’s hand into his palms: “Uncle Yang is currently in Haoran Academy, and I plan to leave for there early tomorrow morning.”

“Huh?”

Yang Xiaoyun’s heart tightened: “Is it so urgent?”

“Settling this matter a day earlier is always better than delaying.”

Su Mo stretched his arms and said smilingly: “Moreover, I just got some good news from those two escort masters.”

“What good news?”

Yang Xiaoyun was also curious.

“Until now, Uncle Yang doesn’t know whose hands Xu Ruoshen died by.”

“…?”

Yang Xiaoyun was stunned: “How is that good news?”

“That way, I have a stage to use my martial skills. Acting in a certain manner before Uncle Yang, making his old heart joyful, wouldn’t that lead him to entrust you to me?”

“…”

Yang Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched: “Whose terrible idea was that?”

“What do you think?”

“Ah…”

Yang Xiaoyun was speechless for a moment, but was pulled up by Su Mo: “Let’s go, we still have to make merry with the escort agency folks tonight. After they leave tomorrow, then I will depart.”

“Right, tonight we should indeed have some fun.”

Yang Xiaoyun also temporarily set aside her worries: “It’s like celebrating our Ziyang Escort Agency officially starting its operations.”

When the two returned to the Ziyang Escort Agency, everything was indeed ready.

In the Martial Arts Arena, long tables were set up, filled with various dishes. Uncle Fu was busy arranging jars of fine wine by the side, and the sight made every escort master’s mouth water.

As soon as Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun returned, everyone promptly ushered them to the main seats, with Yang Xiaoyun sitting at the first seat to the left of Su Mo.

“Alright, everyone, please sit down.”

Su Mo picked up a jar of wine, poured himself a bowl, raised it, and said:

“Thanks to everyone’s support, willing to join Ziyang Escort Agency, our trip to the Five Directions Gathering has firmly established our footing. From now on, the operations of the escort agency still depend on everyone.

“Here’s to you all!”

“To the Chief!!”
