Chapter 861: Chapter 354: Small Gathering (Part 3)
Teaching Wei Ziyi the Yixuan Divine Skill is something he needs to consider carefully.
Moreover, this isn’t something he can decide on his own.
First, he needs to discuss it with Yang Xiaoyun, and afterwards, he must seek Yang Yizhi’s opinion.
In fact, when it comes to this, Su Mo believes he has a good grasp of the situation.
It’s just that…
Firstly, the transformation of Yin and Yang Qi within the body might pose a life-threatening risk to Wei Ziyi.
Secondly, there’s the elusive Jinglong Association’s details.
Given Wei Ziyi’s character, once she knows about this, there’s no way she’ll stay uninvolved.
If he were to make up a lie and say that the Yixuan Divine Skill was acquired through other means, allowing it to be practiced but not used…
He just doesn’t know how to convincingly spin that story.
Nonetheless, this matter must be resolved somehow.
Having shared a bond, he can’t let Wei Ziyi perish because of this.
While pondering, he turned around and returned inside the Ziyang Escort Agency, not heading anywhere else but directly to find Li Zhengyuan first.
Tonight, he needs to give Li Zhengyuan a heads-up about this situation first.
Li Zhengyuan, while cutting out a large “Happiness” character, listened to Su Mo’s plan.
Then the old man glanced at Su Mo and said with a smile:
“Since your ancestor Su Chengyu, the Su family has been escorting through Jianghu.
“But having such an idea, only you have it.
“Mo’er, let me ask you, what exactly prompted this thought?”
Su Mo pondered for a while and then truthfully replied:
“Because of the Jinglong Association.”
“As expected.”
Li Zhengyuan wasn’t surprised, and he softly said:
“To integrate the escort agencies and have the Tianxia Heaven Escort Agency serve you, it’s not about forcibly taking by power.
“Therefore, these escort agencies won’t become your power.
“They will only become your eyes.
“Through them, your eyes can see every corner of Donghuang.
“And continuously provide wealth for the Ziyang Escort Agency.
“Well thought out, well planned.”
As he said this, he put down the scissors, gently shook it, then blew on it, and the large red happiness character unfolded in the wind:
“Mo’er, what do you think?”
“Grandmaster’s craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary.”
Su Mo genuinely complimented, as it indeed looked much better than those made by people Uncle Fu found.
Li Zhengyuan smiled with a bit of self-satisfaction:
“As people age, they always know more things.
“Mo’er, since you have the thought of unifying the escort agencies in Donghuang, Grandmaster naturally supports you fully.
“And I suppose others will not deny the face of the first person in Donghuang.
“However, Mo’er, you must remember.
“The face given by others is still just a face; if we have no humanity here, no matter if you’re the first in Donghuang, or the first in the world, it will ultimately be hard to sustain.
“Human relations, social interactions, mustn’t be neglected.”
“Yes.”
Su Mo immediately nodded: “I understand, it’s just that at first, I find it difficult to speak openly with everyone.”
“Hahaha.”
Li Zhengyuan laughed: “In that case, I am relieved.”
Having Li Zhengyuan’s promise, Su Mo also relaxed.
As for everything seen in Baihu City and what Jun Luo mentioned about the Imperial Dao, after much contemplation, Su Mo still didn’t bring it up.
Time slipped into the night.
Su Mo indeed invited the leaders of various sects and those in charge to meet at the Ziyang Escort Agency.
And he had Li Zhengyuan sit at the main seat.
Though Li Zhengyuan didn’t wish to overshadow the host, he couldn’t refuse, and as he intended to preside over the night, he accepted the position without hesitation.
Su Mo cupped his fists and exchanged cordial greetings with everyone present.
When the atmosphere was just right, Su Mo explained his plan thoroughly.
At first, everyone was taken aback, but then they came around and expressed their support.
Of course, there were those skeptical, asking questions to which Su Mo answered without reservation.
Gradually, the questions dwindled, and those convinced in good faith grew in number.
Before long, even before the banquet was halfway, this matter was settled.
After the banquet, Su Mo personally escorted each visitor out of the Ziyang Escort Agency.
One could say he gave full consideration to both face and honor.
No matter what each participant thought internally, outwardly they left completely satisfied.
By the time Su Mo returned to the agency, only the people from the Seven Great Sects remained at the table.
Li Zhengyuan, being advanced in years, and having drunk a little too much, had already retired to his room to rest.
Xia Xuanran and Wei Chimeng were still engaged in a drinking contest at the table.
Especially Luo Changsheng and Xia Xuanran, who never got along.
The two had been engaging in overt and covert competition, Xia Xuanran being sneaky with a sarcastic tone, and Luo Changsheng using the method of power leaning.
Now at the drinking table, they began to compete in drinking.
Xuanzhen Little Monk, not drinking, held up his Qimei Stick to cheer them on.
He alternately supported Xia Xuanran and Luo Changsheng, clearly just causing a ruckus without any stance.
Xuanyuan Xiaoshan, meanwhile, was very interested in the Southwest cuisine.
She wore a veiled face, and each time she put food beneath her veil, you could faintly see her cheeks puffing out, though she didn’t eat much, she would take a bite of every dish.
Having eaten a little bit of everything, she was now slumped in her chair, patting her visibly bulging belly, clearly unable to eat any more.
The Second and Third Palace Masters were whispering among themselves, about something unknown.
Seeing that after Su Mo’s return, everyone was preparing to leave, Su Mo suddenly cupped his fists:
“Ladies and gentlemen, there is actually another issue I wish to discuss with you all today.”
Upon hearing this, everyone lifted their heads to look at Su Mo, most of them not showing surprise.
Instead, they seemed to have had a realization.
Seeing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly:
“Could it be that everyone already knows what I intend to ask?”
“Haha.”
Xia Xuanran, with a tipsy demeanor, flicked open a folding fan with a snap:
“If…if my guess is correct, Chief Su, you wish to inquire about the matter concerning the Da You Bank, right?”
Su Mo was somewhat surprised.
Then the Third Palace Master said:
“The Da You Bank indeed has close ties with our Seven Sects.
“The current Store Manager, in his greed, has been spreading rumors about you.
“After this incident, realizing he has severely offended you and fearing your retaliation, he sought help from the Tianxin Sect…”
