Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 352 - 185: A Sword Enters Dongcheng_2

This situation just now allows people to see hope.

The merger of the two escort agencies naturally brought forth a myriad of issues.

At this juncture, a letter from Dongcheng and an unexpected guest arrived uninvited.

Inside the main hall of Ziyang Escort Agency.

After the seating arrangements for host and guest were settled, Wei Ziyi, who had not been seen in a long while, slammed an object in front of Su Mo with anger.

"What do you mean by this!?"

She pointed at an unfolded letter with her pale fingers.

The letter was inscribed with two bold characters: READ!!

"I painstakingly wrote to you, detailing everything...

"And all you replied with was two words, read?"

Her eyes widened in anger as she stared at Su Mo, waiting for a perfect explanation.

Yang Xiaoyun sat to the side, observing with a completely detached demeanor.

Su Mo calmly swiped at his teacup:

"Didn’t I send you a follow-up letter?"

"If it weren’t for that letter, I would have come knocking with my sword!"

Wei Ziyi huffed.

"... Come knocking with your sword?"

Su Mo was somewhat surprised: "Looking for a fight?"

"..."

Wei Ziyi’s eyes went round, and finally, she stood up, ran to Yang Xiaoyun’s side as if she had found a great supporter, and pointed at Su Mo, saying:

"Yang Family Sister, look at him!"

Yang Xiaoyun reluctantly glanced at Wei Ziyi: "You don’t expect me to vent for you, do you?"

"... I forgot, you follow your husband regardless."

Wei Ziyi felt momentarily discouraged.

Yang Xiaoyun suddenly smiled: "Alright, alright, he was indeed out of line, and I have reprimanded him for you."

"Really?"

Wei Ziyi was full of suspicion.

"If I say it’s true, can you relax a bit?"

"To ease my mind is rather simple, as long as Yang Family Sister can feel relieved, my mind will naturally be at ease too."

Wei Ziyi took Yang Xiaoyun’s hand and said: "Chief Yang’s spirit in heaven would certainly not want to see you so distressed."

Yang Xiaoyun paused for a moment and then gently sighed, patting Wei Ziyi’s hand, saying:

"Why have you suddenly come back?"

Now, Wei Ziyi holds the position of Deputy City Lord of Tianyu City, not managing myriad affairs daily, yet hardly finding leisure time.

"It’s because of him..."

Wei Ziyi glanced again at Su Mo, "He killed Zhou Qingchuan with one blow, quite the display of power. Consequently, Chi Lu, scrambling to prove his loyalty to grandfather, has our grandfather grinning from ear to ear..."

She looked around a bit.

Su Mo waved his hand, prompting the attending maids and servants to all withdraw.

Wei Ziyi continued: "You’re all aware of the situation here, now both Tianyu City and Zhongfu City are in the palm of our hands, which situational wise, is indeed excellent.

"However, with Wu Daoyou returning from Dongcheng, his reputation has grown significantly.

"Being credited with opening new ’territory’, this indeed caused one of the two wavering Alliance Hierarchs to completely side with him.

"As for the position of the Alliance Leader, the Ancestor can’t directly intervene, only being able to try balancing the situation.

"With Phoenix Alliance dominating Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays, from every aspect, there can be shifts in power, but it must never lead to true turmoil within the Phoenix Alliance.

"Any slight harm wouldn’t just affect one alliance but the people under its rule.

"Besides the Ancestor, initially, we had seven Alliance Hierarchs; my mother and I naturally shared the same heart.

"Now with Chi Lu as well... he occupies almost half the territory.

"After Wu Daoyou’s return, another Hierarch has leaned towards supporting him, occupying a small faction.

"The current problem lies with the vacancy left by Zhou Qingchuan.

"Wu Daoyou is exploiting this situation greatly...

"At this point, she glanced at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun: "I knew, the affair with Chief Yang, Wu Daoyou exerted a lot of effort. I wasn’t planning to discuss the internal situation of the Phoenix Alliance...

"However, since you asked, I just mentioned it in passing, just consider it shared.

"With the position left by Zhou Qingchuan vacant, Wu Daoyou wants to place his own people, while the Ancestor wants to install someone from our side.

"The issue here has led to a deadlock.

"With Chi Lu now being the City Lord of Zhongfu City, a Deputy City Lord’s position has been vacated.

"Originally this position could have been insignificant, but now it has become crucial.

"Whoever secures this position will certainly gain the allegiance of the last Hierarch.

"The distinction between strength and weakness will immediately become apparent... not exaggerating to say, whoever gains this position, can control the Phoenix Alliance."

Su Mo felt something was amiss upon hearing this.

Logically speaking, whose side Wu Daoyou is on should by now have been disclosed to Wei Ziyi.

Why has it not been clarified till now?

Yang Yizhi was right; with Wu Daoyou’s return to Luoxia City, the struggle for Alliance Leader should have concluded.

Still playing this balancing act now, but for what purpose?

Su Mo lightly tapped his fingers on the back of the chair.

Wei Ruhan, cunning and calculated, would not make a pointless gesture as proverbial as ’removing trousers to fart’.

Behind this situation, there must be another mystery.

Thinking this, he gently patted Yang Xiaoyun’s hand.

The two shared an understanding; with this pat, Yang Xiaoyun knew that Su Mo wanted her to not show any stance.

She simply pretended to be confused: "You came back this time just for this matter?"
