Chapter 1840 - 674: Reunion Again_2

"For so many years, the Jinglong Hall has wielded power and committed countless murders.

We were thinking of asking these two to lead the way so that our Jianghu Alliance could battle first.

If we let Senior kill them now..."

"I see."

Guiniang nodded:

"In that case, why doesn’t this old body serve as the vanguard for the Alliance Hierarch?

Lead the charge against Jinglong Hall?

After this battle, may the Alliance Hierarch hand these two over to me as a reward for our merit?"

"Oh?"

Su Mo glanced at Guiniang and smiled lightly:

"Alright."

"Then... I pledge allegiance to the Alliance Hierarch."

Guiniang immediately rose and bowed.

After Su Mo gracefully accepted her salute, he said:

"How about Lord Ban Shu and Senior Guo over there..."

"The matters of the past must eventually be explained. Now half-buried in the yellow earth, all hopes have vanished. What can’t be discussed openly?"

As Guiniang spoke, her voice slightly saddened, she sighed softly:

"Please, Alliance Hierarch, lead the way, so I can make those two sincerely submit."

"That would be great."

Su Mo stood up:

"Senior, please."

"I dare not."

Guiniang, understanding her place, displayed a respectful attitude as a subordinate.

No longer the proud Jianghu elder as before.

Su Mo didn’t mind these trivial matters and the two casually left the room.

Guiniang paused her steps, glanced back, her veil gently swaying:

"Turns out there are more people than I detected...

Expert from Nanhai, not to be underestimated."

Su Mo glanced up and saw Xiao He, Shi Shengtian, Zhen Xiaoxiao, and others all crouched on the rooftop.

Now facing Su Mo, they all felt a bit awkward.

Su Mo had known they had arrived and smiled:

"I’ll introduce you to Senior later."

"Alright."

Guiniang was easygoing and nodded, then followed Su Mo to find Lord Ban Shu and Guo Zhaochen.

These two old men still weren’t getting along.

Though they lived in the same courtyard, at the entrance came Guo Zhaochen’s grumbling voice:

"How long must we wait here?

Every inquiry says we temporarily can’t leave the yard, waiting for the Alliance Hierarch’s commands.

If the Alliance Hierarch never orders, will we wait forever here?"

"Calm down. The Hierarch surely harbors concerns over our sudden allegiance.

He is exceptionally wise and easily sees through our intentions.

Now time is needed to gain his trust.

For now, the only option is to wait..."

"Wait, wait, wait, you may wait, but I cannot.

What if he currently plans to capture Zhi Ying?

By the time we find out, Zhi Ying might have already been captured.

His methods are extraordinary, the Jinglong Association people dare not let him catch them alive.

Yesterday, even grievously injured Jing Huang almost committed suicide.

Thankfully, Nanhai people prepared, preventing their deaths.

If Zhi Ying falls into his palm, what inhuman torture would she endure?

Ban Shu, you’ve let Zhi Ying down all your life, now you’re old, why remain as useless as you were young?

The tales of you storming Qianji Sect solo and astonishing Jianghu must be false, right?"

"What are you doing? Stand your ground!"

"Don’t mind me, I will meet the Alliance Hierarch to see what task he assigns..."

"Do not disrupt... or all past efforts will be futile..."

Arguing all the way, the door suddenly opened, with Guo Zhaochen at the lead.

Upon hearing Lord Ban Shu speaking, he intended to retort, yet before he could, he saw Su Mo and Guiniang standing together.

Both watching him...

"Junior Sister..."

Guo Zhaochen froze on the spot, losing all his prior aggression.

Seeing the veiled Guiniang in front of him, he unexpectedly teared up.

Reached out to grab her but found his hand unable to rise after several attempts, he only murmured softly:

"I killed Old Lady Ou of the Ou Family Palace, and several disciples.

Do not let this person anger you again, it’s not worth it..."

"Senior Brother."

Guiniang sighed lightly:

"Your concern is touching."

"I... I..."

Guo Zhaochen hearing this, shook his head repeatedly, unable to find words, agitatedly scratched his ears, only to find the person nearby silent.

Sneaking a glance up, discovered the veiled woman hadn’t looked at him.

Instead, she tilted slightly, looking behind him.

No need to turn, he knew who Zhi Ying was watching.

Suddenly, anger flared up, courage surged, he pulled forward and grabbed Guiniang’s hand:

"Junior Sister, let’s go, I know you don’t want to see this bird-man.

I will take you away from here."

Speaking of which, he was about to drag Guiniang away.

Lord Ban Shu opened his mouth to try and retain, yet felt unable to speak.

Guo Zhaochen took a couple steps only to find Guiniang hadn’t moved.

Looking back, anger boiled as Guiniang remained facing Lord Ban Shu, motionless.

Just as he wanted to speak, heard Guiniang softly say:

"Are you hating me for striking you hard?"

Lord Ban Shu shook his head:

"How could I?"
