Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 330 - 178: Visiting

On this journey, no more words were said.

Only one thing was different—Zhaodi had awakened.

Zhaodi is a name, the child’s name.

Most of the way, she remained in a drowsy stupor, but as Su Mo kept channeling energy into her, the injuries on her heart meridian gradually began to heal and improve.

After that, she woke up more often than she slept.

During a rest along the way, Yang Xiaoyun took the opportunity to ask for her name.

Her last name was Yu—Yu Zhaodi.

It’s a very common name in this era.

Zhaodi is a homophone for "inviting a younger brother."

And indeed, she had a younger brother, three years her junior, who was also killed by the Guanchuan Five Ghosts.

Although she was mostly unconscious during the journey, she wasn’t completely unaware of everything.

She knew that it was Su Mo and others who had avenged her, so after she woke up, she became very obedient and well-behaved.

But after such a traumatic event, there would occasionally be a glimpse of alertness and fear in her eyes, and she often woke up from her sleep startled.

Someone needed to be beside her to take good care of her.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun also discussed what to do with the child afterwards.

Everyone in the village, from the top down, had died, and neither Su Mo nor his party had experience with children. They considered finding a good family to whom they could entrust her upbringing.

But seeing how the child was always on tenterhooks, frequently waking up in alarm,

They couldn’t bear it in their hearts.

"Why not just keep her in the escort agency for now?"

Yang Xiaoyun suggested, "As an orphan, it’s hard to be at ease leaving her with anyone else. It’s no big deal for Ziyang Escort Agency to have an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Alright then."

Su Mo nodded, "Let’s keep her in the escort agency for a while. Uncle Fu is always urging us to get married, and Uncle Yang is also eager for us to start a family.

"It’ll be like getting used to living with children in advance."

Yang Xiaoyun’s face flushed, she gave Su Mo a glare, turned her head away to not look at him, but couldn’t help but laugh again.

"I just don’t like the name Zhaodi very much, we can give her a new name later."

Su Mo added.

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, "As you wish."

After this small detour, it wasn’t long before they arrived at Luoxia City.

Before even entering, Su Mo glanced back at the Guanchuan Five Ghosts dragging behind the horse, their bodies already reduced to bones.

This one had been dead for a while.

Dragged all the way from Zhongfu City to Luoxia City, his martial arts had long been abolished; given this, not dying would be beyond explanation.

Arriving at the city gate, Su Mo pulled the reins and asked Liu Mo to drag the corpse over.

With a flick of the rope and a tap of his tiptoe, Su Mo leaped into the air, attaching the rope to a flagpole of the Luofeng Alliance before landing gracefully.

The gatekeeper was stunned, looking up then back at Su Mo, recognizing him.

Startled, he promptly asked, "Su, the Chief of the Escort, what is this...?"

"Send someone to notify Alliance Leader Wei. This man is one of the Guanchuan Five Ghosts. The other four have already descended to the Netherworld, leaving only this body, which I dragged from Zhongfu City to Luoxia City.

"These Five Ghosts were wicked beyond measure, committing murder and village massacres, their crimes grave and heinous.

"Write a note and hang it on this body, detailing these events as a warning to all!"

After listening, the guard nodded repeatedly, "Understood, I’ll send someone to report right away. Su, the Chief of the Escort, you’ve worked hard to eliminate a great menace for the territory of the Phoenix Alliance."

Su Mo gestured dismissively and led his party into the city.

It was now noon; despite the cold weather, the streets were still bustling with activity.

Su Mo and his companions dismounted, leaving only Zhaodi sitting on the horse, her small hands gripping the saddle tightly in fear of falling.

She looked up at the bustling Luoxia City, her trepidation and fear mingled with a child’s curiosity.

They made no delay and headed straight for the escort agency.

As soon as their figures appeared at the end of the road, the guards at the entrance clear sighted, immediately went in to report.

"The Chief is back, the Vice Leader is back!"

Before Su Mo and his group reached the doors, they swung open with a loud bang.

Uncle Fu, Xiao Chuan, and a group of men and women, young and old from the escort agency, greeted them.

"The young master is back!"

"The Chief, the Vice Leader!"

"Isn’t that Chief Liu?"

Uncle Fu and the others began speaking one after another, and those who recognized Liu Mo naturally did not miss the opportunity to greet him.

However, Su Mo’s expression was grave and Yang Xiaoyun was also not beaming.

Seeing their demeanor, Uncle Fu knew that something weighed on their minds and promptly dispersed most of the crowd, asking in a low voice:

"How is it, have you met with Yang Yizhi?"

Su Mo’s purpose for rushing to Haoran Academy was to meet Yang Yizhi and entrust him with the Mandarin Duck List.

Now that he had returned with no joy on his face, it seemed likely that something had gone awry.

Su Mo heaved a sigh, "I met him, but we parted on bad terms."

"This..."

Uncle Fu looked at Yang Xiaoyun: "Did you suffer any grievances again?"

Yang Xiaoyun managed a forced smile: "Uncle Fu, it’s fine. After all, I have the Ziyang Escort Agency and won’t end up on the streets."

"How can you say such a thing?"

Uncle Fu quickly interjected, "Miss Yun, Ziyang Escort Agency is your home. Even if the young master reverts to his old ways, being unwise... but even if he starves, I, the old man, can’t let you suffer the slightest grievance.

"A Yang Yizhi, truly ungrateful he is.

"What did the Master say to him back then?

"He... he also started out from our Ziyang Escort Agency!"
