Capítulo 852: Chapter 351: Top Priority (Part 3)
“Daughter…”
Yang Xiaoyun instinctively lowered her head, stealing a glance at everyone, feeling as if they were all jesting about her.
For a moment, a surge of boldness rose within her; she straightened her back and spoke loudly:
“I’ll let father decide everything!”
“Good.”
Yang Yizhi suddenly felt comforted in his old age.
Everyone burst into laughter, expressing their congratulations to Su Mo with fists clasped in salute.
Su Mo, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but smile, and after reciprocating the salute, he was about to continue speaking when footsteps approached the door.
Everyone held their breath and heard someone outside the door say:
“Is the Chief here?”
“Speak your business.”
Su Mo replied.
“Oh, Miss Wei from the Luofeng Alliance requests a meeting. We dared not keep her at the gate, so we invited her to the front hall for tea. Do you approve…?”
“Hmm, understood.”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows and said, “You may leave, I’ll be there shortly.”
“Yes.”
The person agreed and soon departed.
Su Mo then said to Yang Yizhi and the others, “Miss Wei suddenly visited, I’ll go meet her.”
“Hmm.”
Yang Yizhi nodded and said, “Surely, she should not be neglected.”
“I’ll go too.”
Yang Xiaoyun naturally stood up as well.
The two bowed to everyone present before turning to leave directly for the front hall.
In the front hall of Ziyang Escort Agency, Wei Ziyi sat sipping tea.
Today she wore a pure white dress, looking cold and distant, with an air of detachment discouraging others from approaching.
Upon seeing Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, a small smile finally appeared on her lips:
“Chief Su, Yang Family Sister.”
“What’s this about?”
Su Mo looked at her attire, “Wei Qixiong?”
“Hmm…”
Wei Ziyi nodded:
“Regardless of what he did, he is, in the end, a member of the Wei Family.
“With life for a life, when people die, lights extinguish.
“Ancestor buried him last night at the foot of Cui Feng Mountain outside the city.”
“Not in the ancestral shrine?”
“He isn’t qualified.”
Su Mo nodded.
Although the saying goes, debts vanish when people die.
But having done such things, Wei Qixiong surely wouldn’t have the face to meet his ancestors underground, right?
So instead of being laid to rest in the ancestral shrine, he was buried at the foot of Cui Feng Mountain.
Nestled in the green hills and water, it’s considered a decent resting place.
Yet, being of the Wei Family, wearing white for mourning is said and done.
Su Mo extended his arm in invitation, asking Wei Ziyi to sit:
“Then why do you have time to come today?”
“Chief Su, forgetful as always…”
Wei Ziyi glanced at him and said:
“I came here for two matters…
“The first, concerning your and Yang Family Sister’s marriage, when is it set?”
Asked sooner, Su Mo might not have an answer.
But now he could provide an accurate time.
After hearing this, Wei Ziyi didn’t react much, simply nodded:
“Our Wei Family has Messenger Eagles, which can help you convey messages.
“Since you plan to invite the various Donghuang sects, relying solely on your escort agency’s manpower clearly won’t suffice.
“Once your invitations are prepared, I’ll have Messenger Eagles deliver them for you.”
“Many thanks, many thanks.”
“Hmph, if you want to thank someone, spare some time to visit us as instructed by ancestor.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo smoothly asked:
“How is Alliance Leader Wei nowadays?”
“…He’s doing relatively well, although I can’t shake the uneasy feeling.”
Wei Ziyi furrowed her brows:
“After yesterday’s successive upheavals, that… that Wei Qixiong is ultimately his own flesh and blood.
“Sending off another of his kin, in his lifetime, three times now.
“Over the years, his whereabouts were unknown, yet the old man held on to a thread of hope.
“Now that last bit of thought is gone, alas…”
Yang Xiaoyun moved closer to Wei Ziyi, taking her hand:
“Wei Family Sister must be strong, Alliance Leader Wei has weathered countless storms in his life and surely won’t fall because of this.
“The affairs of the Luofeng Alliance are manifold; you can’t afford to worry excessively and wear yourself out.
“If the burden indeed grows too heavy, visit the Ziyang Escort Agency to find me, we can talk as sisters.
“Though my abilities are limited, I can at least ease your mind.”
Wei Ziyi couldn’t help but smile:
“Yang Family Sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, Chief Su is quite fortunate.”
“…”
After hearing Yang Xiaoyun’s words, Su Mo felt that something was slightly amiss.
However, at this moment, Yang Xiaoyun’s words were quite fitting, and he didn’t dwell much on it, instead asking:
“What’s the second matter?”
“The second matter is here.”
Wei Ziyi retrieved a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Su Mo:
“This is written to you by my ancestor.”
“Hmm?”
Su Mo took it and looked up at Wei Ziyi.
“Though you are forgetful, I can’t afford to be.”
Wei Ziyi said, “Remember when you first returned, you expressed a desire to probe into the true nature of Da You Bank.
“I’ve inquired for you, but that night my ancestor didn’t elaborate.
“Last night, he called me over and asked me to give you this letter.
“What he knows about the Store Manager of Da You Bank is all in this letter.”
“I see.”
Su Mo smiled, “I didn’t expect such a minor matter would be of concern to the Alliance Leader.”
Without hesitation, he opened the letter and read it.
However, his brows soon furrowed.
The letter mentioned that Da You Bank has an extremely mysterious origin, existing for many years, predating the Luofeng Alliance.
Two matters were highlighted in the letter.
The first, concerning the Store Manager of Da You Bank.
Clearly, it’s not referring to the current Store Manager, but one from years ago who, for unknown reasons, offended a formidable expert.
This expert, in a fit of rage, killed multiple top-tier Jianghu fighters whom the Store Manager hired for a hefty sum.
The Store Manager narrowly escaped death at this person’s hands.
Eventually, seven sect experts teamed up to deter the individual, who then relented.
Afterwards, the Store Manager focused heavily on concealment, never found again.
The second matter involved a group of bandits assaulting Da You Bank in a bid to loot Silver Coins.
This incident escalated greatly, the gang had high martial arts prowess, causing heavy losses at Da You Bank.
Finally, the problem was resolved by the Tianxin Sect, one of the Dongcheng Seven Sects.
