Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 404 - 202 Sending a Letter_3

"Indeed, a tough life."

Wei Ziyi pouted, "But who knows where this person came from."

"I’m afraid we can only ask him when he wakes up."

Su Mo breathed out and said to Wei Ziyi, "How are things going outside?"

"Master Hu had a hard time finding a good meal and is now sharing his experiences from the Western Border with everyone.

"Deceit and ambushes, sword fights and clashes; what a thrilling life." freēwēbnovel.com

"Oh?"

Su Mo was taken aback, "Deceit and ambushes?"

"Oh, for Master Hu, of course, there are only sword fights and clashes, but deceit and ambushes are what I infer from reading between the lines of his story.

"He is quite the character."

Wei Ziyi said with a smile, "The situation in the Western Border is complex; apparently, Wusheng Hall intended to secure a footing there for those looking to settle in the west. All sorts of characters can be found there, including some who had offended people in Dongcheng and had no choice but to struggle for survival at the Western Border.

"Caught up in the middle, Master Hu has been used by others several times without a clue.

"Fortunately, his three signature moves with the blade are somewhat useful, so nobody has truly attempted his life."

Su Mo was momentarily lost for words and pondered before discussing with Wei Ziyi how they should settle the old and young women and children in the bandit lair.

He also repeated his earlier thoughts.

"Although Master Hu previously mentioned that on the way here, he encountered a valley where he rescued this person."

Wei Ziyi glanced at the bandaged figure lying in the bed, "However, since someone has been saved there, it’s probably even less safe. It’s better to search further away rather than in a secluded place.

"Let them rest in the nearby towns and we’ll take them with us when we come back?"

"That’s not a bad idea."

Su Mo nodded, "The next stop is half a day’s journey from here. If we bring them along, it would take at least two days.

"Anyway, let’s proceed with that plan. Have them pack up tonight and set off early tomorrow.

"And take this person with us... if it wasn’t for Little Situ’s medical skills, this man would probably be dead.

"Saving someone should be done thoroughly; it’s better to escort them all the way than to leave them to die halfway."

Wei Ziyi nodded, "You continue with your work, and I’ll go arrange."

As Little Situ watched Wei Ziyi leave, he sighed,

"Miss Wei is decisive and efficient, something to be truly envied."

"Envy?"

Su Mo was puzzled, feeling that Little Situ’s use of the word was strange.

He couldn’t help but give it a second thought, "What do you mean?"

"Ah?"

Little Situ blinked, seemingly aware he had misspoken, and hastily changed the subject, "Nothing, nothing... Where are the four sisters?"

The four women standing outside immediately turned and entered, "Young Master."

"...well, eh, take me out for a bit."

Little Situ cupped his hands in a fist and bowed to Su Mo, "Please excuse me for a moment, Lord Su."

"Just go ahead."

Su Mo waved his hand.

Now he understood, Little Situ was born with an inability to walk, all meridians related to the Three Yin and Three Yang were damaged.

These four women were there to protect and attend him.

But it was unclear why attending to this young master required four ladies’ assistance.

Usually, men and women would keep their distance, which could be quite inconvenient at times.

If these women were truly his servants, it might be one thing, but their relationship with him seemed far more complicated than that.

Su Mo realized that he still knew too little about Little Situ.

His trust in him came because Yang Yizhi truly trusted them deeply.

Otherwise, Su Mo would never have let him join the convoy.

But the thought of Yang Yizhi made Su Mo sigh once again.

Since parting at Cangfeng Valley, quite some time had passed.

Yet, he hadn’t received any news from Yang Yizhi at all during this time, which was quite worrisome.

...

...

Luoxia City, Ziyang Escort Agency!

At this moment, the night was deep.

The entire Ziyang Escort Agency had long since settled into silence.

Suddenly, a figure flickered across the eaves, agile as a cat, and swiftly standing atop the main hall’s roof.

Beneath the black mask, a pair of eyes searched within the escort agency.

After a while, the figure leapt into the air once again, finally landing in front of a courtyard.

Every building in Ziyang Escort Agency had its lights out, except for the corridor lanterns and those outside the main hall.

Only one room still had a flicker of candlelight on the window.

With the tip of his foot, the person approached the window, lifted the mask, moistened his fingers with his tongue, and was about to puncture the window.

In the next moment, he suddenly felt a strong pressure building up behind him.

Turning around abruptly, he saw a wide and plump fat man staring him down.

The black-clothed man was startled, moving to escape.

But how could Master Hu let him get away so easily?

With a chuckle and a wave of his hand, he grabbed one of the man’s arms.

Unexpectedly, as he grasped the arm, it slipped away like a slippery eel, smoothly escaping Master Hu’s grasp.

Immediately, the figure jumped twice and landed back on the roof, stretching out his hand:

"Wait!"

"Why?"

Master Hu asked, then with some annoyance, "You come down."

"...I won’t come down."

The figure shook his head, "I have no ill intentions for appearing at night; I am only looking for Lord Su... but who are you?"

"You’re looking for Master?"

Master Hu was surprised, "Why wouldn’t you come during daylight instead of sneaking around at night?"

"...Has Lord Su turned bandit?"

The person on the roof was even more shocked, "When did that happen?"

The two, one on the roof and one in the courtyard, were completely off track in their conversation.

It was at this moment that a voice came from inside the room:

"Is it the one known as ’a startled swan’s shadow falling, unfazed by flying snow’ who has arrived?

"Xiao Xiao, don’t be rude."

"I understand, Second Master."

After Master Hu responded, she stood aside against the wall.

With a creak, the door opened, and Yang Xiaoyun stepped out, raising her head to look at the roof:

"I wonder what brings ’Jing Hong Feixue’ here in the middle of the night?"

"Delivering a message."
