Chapter 10: Delivery?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After collecting the banknotes, Su Mo took one last look at the corpse and could not help but feel pity.
It was not that he pitied this person. He felt that it was a pity that he didn't search the bodies of those people previously…
This is losing a lot of money.
It seemed that the heroes of the martial world were usually disdainful of money.
But Su Mo was not that kind of person…
Money was a good thing. Naturally, the more, the better. Especially when he had an escort company to manage, this thing was even more precious.
There were a total of four people who appeared in the forest, but now, two of them are dead. As for the remaining man and woman, the situation of the man is still unclear. The woman is called Hu Piaopiao… Why haven't I heard of any of these people?
Hanging out in the martial world, people were naturally after fame and fortune.
Benefits could come from everywhere, and it was impossible to list them all.
However, fame was one's signboard for navigating the martial world.
Although Su Mo had just entered the martial world, he was not completely unprepared. He had heard of all the famous names in the martial world.
It was a pity that he had never heard of either the Mountain Shifting Palm or Hu Piaopiao.
He turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the peach blossom forest. He continued walking towards the Chicken's Crow Pass Station. There's no sign of communication between the other people and this Mountain Shifting Palm. From this, it can be seen that they are indeed fighting on their own. It's just that each and every one of them has hidden agendas and are in cahoots with each other. Are they not worried that no one will say anything if the Mysterious Principles Clasp falls into their hands?
I think they have some way of restricting each other.
It was just that these people were colluding in secret, and their motives were even more extraordinary. As for exactly what methods they used to restrict each other, it was not something Su Mo could figure out in a short period of time.
And after knowing about the situation with the Mysterious Principles Clasp, Su Mo did not want to be involved in this mess.
Right now, he had no choice but to do so. After the item was delivered, he only hoped that he could leave smoothly.
…
…
Su Mo expected the situation to become even more treacherous.
After all, the four of them originally had their own strategies.
Now that two were gone, there were still two left.
Although there were only two of them, there were countless variables.
Moreover, Su Mo did not know what methods these four people used to collude with one another.
In the Falling Flower Pavilion, the one who called himself Xu did not know that Chef Zhou had died, but now do the other two know that Chef Zhou and Xu have already perished?
If they know, their subsequent methods will be even more intense and difficult to guard against.
If they don't know… they'd at least have different threats awaiting me.
Most importantly, what's going on with this hidden murderer?
This person's target isn't me, but I might have helped him sweep away the obstacles…
It's just that his methods are ruthless, but I've placed myself in a precarious situation.
Are the old man and the young man who appeared last night related to this matter?
All of this is interwoven into a mess. They've really made the situation even more chaotic.
But Su Mo never expected…
Just like that, he arrived at Chicken's Crow Pass!
There were no more disturbances along the way.
No one disguised himself in a teahouse, waiting for him to step into the trap.
Furthermore, no one had treated him to a meal in advance because he wanted to capture him and interrogate him about stealing the brocade box…
Su Mo was actually quite disappointed with the latter.
After all, along the way, eating all sorts of things had increased his costs. If there were people treating him everywhere he went, not only would he save a lot of money, but he would also eat and sleep well.
How should he put it? As long as it's a treat, they won't make people eat sh*t, right?
Unfortunately, Su Mo had only experienced this once.
At this moment, he was already standing in front of the Jade Spring Inn. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped in.
"Guest, please come in. Are you here for snacks or to stay?"
The moment he entered, a waiter came out with a face full of enthusiasm.
"Looking for someone."
Su Mo smiled. "Waiter, may I ask if there is a Master called Wang Xianglin?"
"Huh?"
The waiter was stunned, but he nodded. "There is indeed a Master Wang. Why don't you sit down and have some tea first? I'll go up and inquire for you."
"Alright, thank you."
Su Mo was also very polite. Under the waiter's lead, he sat down and a pot of tea arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He picked up the teacup and looked at it for a while. Then, he poured some tea into the cup and swirled it gently.
After throwing away the tea, he poured another cup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
The tips of his ears twitched slightly, but he heard a few waiters whispering secretly beside him.
"He's here to look for that Master Wang too."
"Isn't that so? I wonder who this Master Wang is. There have already been two or three people coming over these past few days…"
"Speaking of which, the man who came to look for this Master Wang seemed to be extremely terrified when he left?"
"That's nothing… I didn't see that woman come out. After that, I went into the room to serve her, but I didn't see any traces of that woman."
Su Mo lowered his head and drank his tea, listening to the conversation. As he gently put down the teacup, the waiter who went upstairs to ask had already returned.
"Dear guest, Master Wang invites you in."
The waiter smiled and said, "The Heaven-class room. Go up to the second floor, turn left, and walk to the end. At your convenience."
"Thank you."
Su Mo cupped his fists and walked up the stairs.
In the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of the door of the Heaven-class room. He knocked lightly on the door and a voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Pushing open the door, he saw a middle-aged man holding a book in his hands. His eyes were completely drawn to the contents of the book.
His other hand was holding a teacup, but he had forgotten to drink it.
"Are you Wang Xianglin?"
Su Mo looked at this person and asked.
That person raised his head and looked at Su Mo. He seemed to be unhappy that he was disturbed. He frowned. "If I'm not, then are you?"
"Haha, of course not."
Su Mo smiled and said, "I am the head of the Purple Sun Escort Company, Su Mo. I was entrusted by someone to bring you something."
"Something?"
When Wang Xianglin heard this, he glanced at Su Mo. "What is it?"
Su Mo did not hesitate. He took out the brocade box and placed it on the table.
Wang Xianglin's gaze was originally indifferent, but when he saw the brocade box, his expression changed slightly. "Hmm?"
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Su Mo. "Where is the person who asked you to deliver this box?"
"Dead."
"Dead?"
Wang Xianglin was stunned. He put down the book and teacup in his hand and reached out to take the box.
However, the next moment, Su Mo placed his hand on the box.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Xianglin frowned and looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo was even more serious. He enunciated every word clearly. "Pay first!"
