Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 356 - 186: First Encounter with Wei Ruhan_3

"Such a sentimental person, indeed very rare," the old man feels even more inclined to make this matter a reality.

"..."

Su Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, suddenly realizing that, without knowing it, he had fallen into Wei Ruhan’s trap.

Yet he simply smiled: "If the Alliance Leader recognizes my sentimentality, then you should know this matter is unlikely to be realized; better to dispel these thoughts sooner rather than later."

"No worries, no worries."

Wei Ruhan continued: "There’s still time to spare, young men and women should interact more, who knows what may eventually happen...

"Let’s put this aside for now, let’s not talk about it. I heard from Ziyi that you’re planning to visit Ziyang Sect soon?"

"...Indeed, I have such intentions."

"Traveling along with Ziyi, is the young lady from the Yang Family not joining?"

"After I return, I will take Sister Xiao Yun with me."

"Hahaha."

Wei Ruhan laughed heartily: "Young Su, the Chief of the Escort, are you feeling uneasy in your heart? Thus, you need your fiancée to accompany you along the way so you won’t become lost in your emotions?"

"..."

This old fox has quite a silver tongue!

Su Mo’s eyebrows lightly raised.

Wei Ruhan, smiling, went on to say:

"I’ve got another important matter here, I wonder if Young Su is willing to take on this responsibility?"

"...Alliance Leader, this provocation is not exactly subtle."

At this point in their conversation, both were less reserved than initially and instead both displayed a cutting edge.

Wei Ruhan didn’t engage further, instead went on:

"Ziyang Escort Agency is now thriving, with the people left behind by Yang Yi integrating into the agency, it has become even more robust.

"Young Su made a trip to the Five Directions Gathering and established credibility; surely, you will not only focus on this northern line.

"However, to the east, whether Lord Su’s reputation holds sway is yet uncertain.

"After all, you are Su Mo, not Yang Yizhi.

"Now that the agency’s internal ranks are stable, it’s the hearts of those outside the agency that need calming.

"It is missing an appropriate escort mission to reassure them.

"If you succeed in this, Ziyang Escort Agency’s finances will flourish.

"Dominating both the northern and eastern lines, this is something very few escort agencies can achieve."

Su Mo looked at Wei Ruhan: "Does the Alliance Leader have a business proposal for me?"

"Ziyi has grown up in Lengyue Palace, where her seniors have taken great care of her.

"Every year I send gifts to Lengyue Palace, but this year’s offerings have yet to be dispatched...

"Since Young Su is about to head east, why not undertake this task for this old man?"

"Of course, there’s no problem."

Su Mo nodded: "May I know what kinds of items they are?"

"Everything from gold and jade wares to rouge; not much, just a cartload."

"Where is the cart located?"

"In the backyard of City Lord Manor."

"How much is the escort fee?"

"...A granddaughter?"

"..."

Su Mo looked at Wei Ruhan in silence.

Wei Ruhan let out a breath: "Five thousand taels."

"Good, tomorrow morning I will bring people to check."

Su Mo rose as he spoke: "I will take my leave now."

"Go, go, an old man at this time is truly weary."

Wei Ruhan exhaled gently, smiling faintly: "If Young Su has the time, perhaps you could visit more often?"

"If I find the time, I will then visit the Alliance Leader."

"From your answer, I know you’ll be busy."

"...goodbye."

Su Mo, without saying more, turned around and left.

Huang Yuan had been waiting outside and immediately bowed slightly upon seeing Su Mo emerge: "Lord Su, Chief of the Escort, I will lead you out."

"Thank you."

Su Mo nodded, took a look back at the room door that had somehow already closed, shook his head gently, and followed Huang Yuan.

After a short while, Huang Yuan returned to report.

He knocked lightly on the door, Wei Ruhan was leaning on the soft couch, his eyes half-open, half-closed.

Huang Yuan took a soft breath, tiptoed to the table, and started to tidy up carefully.

"Gone?"

Wei Ruhan’s voice reached Huang Yuan’s ears.

Huang Yuan nodded lightly: "Gone."

"Indeed a distinguished person, not an ordinary one."

Wei Ruhan murmured softly, "If I had a third of his capabilities back in the day, the Phoenix Alliance wouldn’t have so many leaders."

"Master, as for the issue with the young miss, could it be somewhat..."

Huang Yuan paused for a moment: "Could it be somewhat hasty?"

"It is a bit hasty."

Wei Ruhan smacked his lips and extended his arm.

With the support from Huang Yuan, he stood up and walked behind the folding screen.

Standing before the bed, while helping him undress, Huang Yuan said:

"Lord Su is indeed extraordinary, but the Phoenix Alliance is also not to be underestimated. Not to mention the future, even just the present, he is not a proper match for the young miss."

"Hm?"

Wei Ruhan glanced at Huang Yuan, then suddenly gave a faint smile: "The hastiness you speak of, is it in this sense?"

"...Master’s meaning is?"

Huang Yuan was startled.

"Climbing high, indeed."

Wei Ruhan sighed: "The Yang Family girl is a good match, and she’s blessed, this fortune, I truly hope my Old Wei family could also have.

"Hm...How is Ziyi getting along with that Yang Family girl?"

"Like sisters."

"A good thing."

Wei Ruhan nodded, then shook his head: "But this Su clan, inherently stubborn and sentimental."

Saying this, and perhaps thinking of something, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

With Huang Yuan’s assistance, Wei Ruhan got into bed, covered himself with the quilt, and let out a soft breath, seemingly feeling a bit weak.

He breathed out softly and waved Huang Yuan away gently.

"Your subordinate takes leave."

Huang Yuan did not dare to disturb him further and carefully made his exit. Yet as he stood at the door, reflecting on Wei Ruhan’s words again, he found his heart uneasy.

This Lord Su of the Escort is undeniably formidable.

But what exactly made Wei Ruhan feel that their precious daughter would be climbing high by being with him?

...

...

While Huang Yuan was secretly shocked, Yang Xiaoyun was asking Su Mo what he and Wei Ruhan had talked about...

Ordinarily, Su Mo would tell Yang Xiaoyun everything without reservation.

But for today’s matter, Su Mo truly didn’t know how to explain.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare speak because such matters would inevitably make the women at home jealous.

What Su Mo dared not mention was his concern... that Yang Xiaoyun would join forces with Wei Ruhan and besiege him from both sides.

So, after much deliberation, Su Mo gently started:

"How about this, Sister Yun, why don’t you come with me this time?"

...

...

ps: We’re unexpectedly at ninety-five monthly tickets already, seems a bit difficult now... Does anyone still have any? Thank you, thank you!
