The tray was set on the table, several dishes neatly arranged.
Liu Yun Scholar casually picked up the jar of wine and broke the seal.
"Thirty-year-old aged Daughter’s Red."
Liu Yun Scholar gave Yang Yizhi a smile, "Although this wine has a sad story behind it, it indeed is fine wine."
Yang Yizhi’s face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Thirty years aged Daughter’s Red...
Which family’s Daughter’s Red could be stored for thirty years?
Naturally, it means the daughter has not been married off for thirty years.
Normally, such a remark might not mean much, but at this moment, Yang Yizhi felt that Liu Yun Scholar was stabbing at his heart.
"You, you just take things too seriously."
Liu Yun Scholar flipped over two small wine bowls, poured a bowl for Yang Yizhi and filled one for himself.
"Moreover, I don’t even know why you take it so seriously? Su Mo is Su Tianyang’s son, what is your relationship with Su Tianyang?
"That was a relationship as close as brothers, a sworn brotherhood, sharing life and death, hardships together! You yourself agreed to the betrothal by a handshake, didn’t you?
"How come now, you’ve turned your face and don’t recognize him anymore?
"Hey hey hey! Don’t be anxious, I genuinely don’t get it, I’m not trying to verbally attack you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought wine..."
Seeing that Yang Yizhi was about to stand up in anger,
Liu Yun Scholar hurriedly gestured with his hands, asking him to stay seated.
Yang Yizhi, with a dark face, looked at the scholar across him, not speaking at first, but then took a sip of wine, savored it, and then recklessly tilted his head back, gulping down the whole bowl.
At this moment, he finally let out a sigh:
"Su Mo... heh, these years, I’ve been ashamed to mention it.
"Ever since Tianyang passed away, as the sole heir of the Ziyang Escort Agency, what has he been up to?
"If I knew, then I would understand your current predicament."
Liu Yun Scholar rolled his eyes.
Yang Yizhi sighed and started recounting Su Mo’s worthless past, almost in painstaking detail.
Things like squandering the family wealth, indulging in brothels, being beaten up by Yang Xiaoyun in public, and how it led to the disciples scattering and the escort agency falling into neglect...
Liu Yun Scholar listened with wide eyes, and after finishing, he slammed the table:
"Outrageous! Though Su Tianyang wasn’t much reputed, he was indeed a brave man.
"People often say, ’like father, like son’, but this Su Mo... is indeed a disgrace."
Yang Yizhi casually took a piece of food and stuffed it into his mouth: "If he had only a bit of his father’s boldness, I would acknowledge him as my son-in-law. But now... I just can’t reconcile with it."
Liu Yun Scholar furrowed his brows: "Seeing him today, he doesn’t seem as unbearable as you describe. He conducts himself decently, and his martial arts seem even better than yours... You’re not even his match..."
"Who knows where this kid learned such underhanded skills."
Yang Yizhi became instantly furious upon hearing this: "He sure knows how to act, making people think he’s turned over a new leaf. I am the one discredited, utterly outrageous!!"
"Alright, alright, you’re not young anymore, why so hot-tempered?"
Liu Yun Scholar saw him getting agitated and quickly waved his hand to calm him down.
Yang Yizhi’s emotion gradually settled down, lightly shaking his head: "I also don’t know whether this kid learned some slick tricks in the brothel that make Yun’er so submissive to him... Now, even my words, she won’t listen.
"Hell-bent on following that boy."
Liu Yun Scholar laughed: "You can’t blame Little Cloud, girls tend to be outgoing. But speaking of which, you know her character too; she’s no ordinary girl, not someone to be fooled by a few sugary words.
"In my view... Su Mo must indeed have some merits; otherwise, it wouldn’t be ."
Yang Yizhi suddenly narrowed his eyes, glaring at Liu Yun Scholar.
"Look, now you can’t stand listening to what others are saying."
Liu Yun Scholar sighed: "Alright, let’s not talk about this. Speaking of which, what exactly happened with your subordinate? His death was indeed strange."
"Ah... an unlucky thief, ultimately led to Ruoshen seizing the way, it’s inevitable in Jianghu to meet a violent end."
"That’s also true, didn’t Su Tianyang die mysteriously as well? Speaking of which, how exactly did he die?
"At that time, you were close friends, and I had seen him a few times; then suddenly, he was gone, it really makes no sense."
Hearing this, Yang Yizhi fell silent for a moment, then softly said, "Close the door."
Liu Yun Scholar nodded, understanding this was a secretive matter, and quickly closed all the doors and windows, then sat down waiting for Yang Yizhi to divulge the secret.
Yet, Yang Yizhi just refilled their wine bowls.
After a brief moment, he finally spoke: "I don’t know."
Liu Yun Scholar curled his lips: "Are you mocking me?"
Yang Yizhi sighed: "I’m not mocking you, I really don’t know. Tianyang took an escort, and suddenly he met his demise in Jianghu. About this... over the years, although I have extensively inquired, I still haven’t found anything. Who issued the escort, who took the escort, who ambushed the escort...
