"By then, the Zhou family and Li Zhao’s great vengeance will naturally be avenged.

"However, those two items will also be in the hands of Old Master Xing.

"Therefore... we must see what kind of person this Old Master Xing really is.

"If he truly kills for treasure, just to send gifts to that hall master.

"Then it would be best to seize the opportunity when both sides are weakened to strike suddenly and slaughter them all.

"Even if the martial arts are inferior, then employ other tactics.

"After all, as long as chaos arises, it’s not difficult to act."

Little Situ quickly engraved these words in his heart, while Wei Ziyi kept pouting:

"Then why don’t you tell that to Yun Mantang?"

"Because I am a different kind of person than him."

Su Mo smiled:

"If his actions today are truly from the heart.

"Then he is a true Hero of Jianghu.

"But I am not...

"In my heart, everything in the world is not as important as the three feet in front of me.

"To achieve my goal, I can be ruthless.

"He might not listen to these words.

"Instead, it could cause unnecessary conflict.

"Our philosophies are incompatible, irreconcilable.

"So let him act as he will.

"After all, judging from Liu Zhongxian’s martial arts, the so-called Twelve Evils of Tianfeng are not weak, but they may not surpass Mingyue Taoist.

"With Xiao He planning, if the opponent’s martial arts are unexpectedly strong, they can retreat immediately.

"On the contrary, leading the White Tiger to annihilate them shouldn’t be difficult.

"Therefore, how Yun Mantang acts is irrelevant to me.

"I just need to achieve my goal."

These words left Wei Ziyi speechless.

After mulling over it, a different taste emerged, and he couldn’t help but shake his head:

"Evil Su, truly lives up to the name Evil Su."

Yang Xiaoyun lightly laughed:

"You are naturally different from him.

"He is a loner, whereas you must consider those around you.

"In my view, this is also chivalrous.

"If you cannot protect those around you, having empty chivalry and a hot-blooded spirit only invites disaster."

Su Mo chuckled: "It’s nothing significant. I don’t care much for the so-called hero’s name.

"I didn’t expect we would hear of Yulong Escort Agency here.

"But who knows if it really is as we think?"

Yang Xiaoyun shook her head slightly:

"Fortunately, they will arrive at Baisui City soon.

"We can set off first and wait at Baisui City.

"We can tell at a glance if it’s truly as we thought."

"Hmm."

No more words were exchanged that night. As dawn came, they packed up the stove, extinguished the embers, and continued their journey.

At this point in the journey, Baisui City was not far off.

The number of travelers increased on the road, and shortly after the Wu hour, Su Mo and his party arrived before a majestic city.

High above the city gates hung the three big characters ’Baisui City’.

A long line formed at the entrance, both entering and leaving the city was bustling.

Su Mo and his companions lined up obediently, waiting nearly two hours before it was their turn to register, pay some Silver Coins, and successfully enter Baisui City.

Inside the city, a scene of lively prosperity unfolded.

Su Mo and the others dismounted from their horses and proceeded on foot.

Mu Shanshan went ahead, and shortly returned having found an inn.

The inn was named Dongsheng.

The name likely signifies the rising sun.

The Shopkeeper was waiting at the door from afar. Seeing Su Mo and company approach, he greeted them warmly.

Su Mo, with a pleasant smile, exchanged casual chit-chat with the Shopkeeper.

Finally, they hired a large courtyard to park the carriage and horses as a temporary lodging.

Once everything was settled, Yang Xiaoyun asked:

"When will we go to that Taiyang Restaurant?"

"No hurry."

Su Mo gently waved his hand: "Let’s first wait for the Yulong Escort Agency to arrive and then assess the situation."

If Liu Zhongxian’s words are accurate, Yulong Escort Agency will arrive in a matter of days.

The nature of Young Master Xing and whether he can help them investigate the Blood Lotus or point them in the right direction remains unclear.

If things go awry or problems arise.

Baisui City might become untenable.

To avoid missing the Yulong Escort Agency, it is better to hold off for a couple of days.

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, believing Su Mo’s decision was sensible.

Su Mo then instructed Chen Dinghai to keep watch at the teahouse near the city gate.

He also sent Old Ma and others out to gather intelligence.

On one hand, they wanted to learn about the reputation of the Xing Family, and on the other, they hoped to find clues about Yulong Escort Agency.

The information regarding the Xing Family was easily obtainable.

The Xing Family is quite formidable.

It’s considered a dominant figure in Baisui City.

Old Master Xing roamed Jianghu in the past, wielding the Twelve way Fierce Wind blade, carving a notable reputation.

Eventually, he settled in Baisui City, establishing the Xing Family’s foundation.

Although he doesn’t hold the title of City Lord, even the Baisui City Lord must concede to him.

However, Old Master Xing has long ceased to manage affairs.

The one in charge now is his eldest son, Xing Hao.

It’s said he excels beyond his predecessor.

The Twelve way Fierce Wind blade in his hands is even more formidable, surpassing Old Master Xing, his blade technique marked by a wild abandon.

Once executed, it’s reminiscent of a mad and chaotic dance.

Hence, Jianghu people call him ’Mad Blade’.

Old Master Xing has two sons, the eldest, Mad Blade Xing Hao, well-known in Jianghu.

The second son favored literature over martial arts since childhood.

He is clueless about martial arts.

He is unknown in Jianghu and has achieved nothing within the family.
