Su Mo took out a small box from his bosom, and inside it was a silkworm.

"The Thousand mile Silkworm!!"

This was the trick of the Elder Du at that time.

After Du Zun passed away, Su Mo took the item.

Since then, all care was entrusted to Little Situ.

Now, it comes into use.

"Then... where is the female silk worm hidden?"

Yang Xiaoyun instinctively asked, but upon making eye contact with Su Mo, suddenly realized:

"In that letter?

"Aren’t you afraid Jiang Lan will actually open that letter?"

"He won’t."

Su Mo smiled slightly:

"To me, this so-called Highness, he is respectful on the surface but vigilant inside.

"But he genuinely respects their Taoist Master and would gladly sacrifice himself.

"Since the letter is meant for the Taoist Master, he wouldn’t open it unless absolutely necessary."

After saying this, Yang Xiaoyun finally let out a long sigh:

"Then, it’s just a matter of waiting for the outcome?"

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded: "Let’s hope the timing is right."

As he said this, he glanced over at Wei Ziyi, who was sipping tea cup after cup:

"Still drinking?"

"You can’t even spare two cups of tea?"

Wei Ziyi rolled her eyes at Su Mo.

"Well, that’s not it... wait, why are you here?"

Su Mo suddenly remembered: "Weren’t you supposed to go to the escort agency today? You said you’re going to be the Chief!?"

"Oh lord!"

Wei Ziyi scrambled up:

"Right, the escort agency got a suspicious delivery request, I’m unsure whether to take it or not, but I don’t want to let it go.

"So I told some Escort masters to entertain the person with tea.

"I was coming back to get your take on it.

"By the way, when I passed by Little Situ, he told me Xuanyuan Xiaoshan’s Other’s Heart Gu has been taken out.

"Do you want to see her?"

"...You encountered both things?"

Su Mo stood up: "That delivery request... can’t you decide for yourself?"

"It’s to Imperial Court Mountain."

With one sentence, Wei Ziyi made Su Mo realize: "There’s something strange about it?"

Wei Ziyi nodded:

"The person is a young man who seems flustered.

"He looks like someone is trying to harm him at every turn.

"He didn’t explain what he was delivering, just asked if we could take the job.

"If not, he’d look elsewhere.

"There have indeed been many escorts to Imperial Court Mountain lately.

"Yulong Escort Agency has got several.

"But our escort agency just opened, and there’s the issue of the previous Dong family’s lost escort.

"It’s hard to take on a suitable case.

"Naturally, I have to come to you for advice..."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, feeling this delivery request was indeed peculiar.

After a slight contemplation, Su Mo softly said:

"In that case, Old Chen, accompany me for a visit.

"Wei Huniu, stay here and wait for the pigeon messages."

"???"

Wei Ziyi froze: "Aren’t I the Chief?"

"Ever seen a Chief afraid to take on a delivery?"

Su Mo mockingly laughed at Wei Ziyi.

Wei Ziyi immediately showed her teeth and claws; if not for Chen Dinghai being around, she’d have rushed up and scratched Su Mo to death.

They helped Chen Dinghai change clothes, tidied him up a bit.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, with him, went out the door.

Shunfeng Escort Agency wasn’t far, and shortly, they arrived at their destination.

Entering from the back door, there was a sense of desolation waiting to be revived.

This escort agency indeed needed reorganizing.

Maintaining an escort agency is not easy; growing powerful is harder, but decay is fast.

Before the original Young Leader of the escort agency could put up his sign for sale, he took away what he could carry.

Everything sellable was sold off.

Yang Xiaoyun bought it at a low price and found Chen’s family to handle affairs; only then did they get approval from the City Lord Manor to operate.

Thus, the escort masters here all transferred under Su Mo.

Except for those who ran away halfway.

The rest stayed in the escort agency eating idle meals every day.

Su Mo didn’t have time for this the past few days, and these people were almost starved.

Lately, Wei Ziyi took a great interest in this escort agency, providing them with full meals and warmth.

Su Mo and his party entered the hall, sneaking behind a screen to observe the lobby.

They saw several escort masters trying to serve tea to a young man.

Despite starving for food, these guys were clearly desperate.

Before leaving, Wei Ziyi told them to serve tea to this young man, so he had to drink.

Even if he couldn’t, he had to drink.

Now the young man was nearly drowned by the tea, collapsed on the chair, waving his hands:

"I can’t...can’t drink anymore... are you, are you taking the job or not?

"If not, I’ll find another agency..."

At this point, he couldn’t help but burp, causing water to spill from the corner of his mouth.

The scene was simply unbearable.

Despite reaching this stage, the escort masters weren’t letting him go.

One of the slender attendants laughed and said:

"The way you’re talking, how can we, who run an escort agency, not take business?

"Come on, drink some tea, drink some tea, have two more cups and the Chief will be back.

"By then, this delivery request will certainly be accepted.

"Just drink to your heart’s content and wait!"

The young man wore a fearful expression and quickly reached out:

"I, I, I..."

Before he could finish a sentence, a tea cup was at hand; without him moving, some escort masters held his chin and nose, the tea cup was tilted and poured in... gulp, gulp, gulp...

Even Su Mo couldn’t watch anymore.

Was this serving tea, or was it coercive interrogation?

He exchanged a look with Chen Dinghai, who immediately bowed and coughed before stepping into the main hall.

Upon hearing footsteps, the escort masters turned and froze, unsure of how to address him.

But they knew he was one of the new owners of the escort agency.

They quickly nodded and bent over.

Chen Dinghai waved his hand:

"I am the Vice Leader of this... Shunfeng Escort Agency, I greet my brother."

The young man, hearing this, wiped his face, mouth, and front panel with his hand, lifted his spirits, and asked:

"Where’s the restroom?"
