From the Alliance Leader of the Wan Yutang, there are the Twelfth Halls.
Although the functions of these twelve halls vary, they do not have unique names.
They are simply named with numbers from one to twelve.
The name Ren Xiongfei, as it entered Su Mo’s ears, was quite unfamiliar.
Yet, upon hearing this name, as the little princess of the Luofeng Alliance, Wei Ziyi immediately understood.
"The Vice Hall Master of the Tenth Hall?
"Indeed, a significant figure."
Hearing this, the blade user unconsciously raised his head to look at Wei Ziyi:
"Who... who are you?"
There are a total of twenty-four people including the hall masters and vice hall masters of the twelve halls of Wusheng Hall.
The people within the Wusheng Hall’s territory can’t say they know them as if enumerating one’s family possessions, mainly because some hall masters have mysterious identities and never show themselves in public.
However, at this moment, within the territories of the Luofeng Alliance, a random escort master could instantly reveal Ren Xiongfei’s name.
The blade user couldn’t help but ponder the identity of the person before him.
Wei Ziyi smirked and said to Su Mo, "Shall I handle this person?"
"Does Miss Wei already have a plan?"
"Indeed, a little one."
Wei Ziyi furrowed her brows, and the blade user, upon hearing the words "Miss Wei," suddenly recalled Su Mo just now uttering the words "Miss Wei," and his face instantly turned pale:
"Are you the granddaughter of Wei Ruhan of the Luofeng Alliance?"
"Garrulous fool, is it your place to speak? If not for your tongue still being of use, I would have cut it out right now."
Wei Ziyi coldly glanced at the blade user, then pulled Su Mo aside and walked away.
Once they were alone, Su Mo quickly shook off Wei Ziyi’s hand:
"Such pulling and dragging, what decorum is this?"
"People of Jianghu, why bother with such trivial formalities?"
Wei Ziyi glared at Su Mo, "Su, the Chief of the Escort, what’s your take on tonight’s events?"
"I am all ears for Miss Wei’s esteemed opinion."
"...You are quite the sly one, clearly having thoughts of your own, yet you insist on having me speak first."
Wei Ziyi shook her head, "In my view, what this person said is mostly true. He may not fear death, but his companion sure is terribly afraid of it.
"As such, it seems Wusheng Hall is indeed planning to use this opportunity to scheme against our Luofeng Alliance.
"Only, they didn’t expect, while claiming territory as king here, to coincidentally run into the two of us.
"This is divine assistance to our Luofeng Alliance, not to Wusheng Hall."
Su Mo lightly nodded, "And then?"
"I plan to use this person to devise a strategy, to see if we can capture Ren Xiongfei of Wusheng Hall.
"However, the current plans of Wusheng Hall are still unclear.
"It is obvious, though, that threats are not limited to just one place.
"The most pressing matter is to find a way to root out the agents they have planted within the Luofeng Alliance’s territory...
"Additionally, as I said before, these people came from the west and could not have bypassed Luoxia City no matter what.
"Yet, within Luoxia City, there is not the slightest news of this, which is very strange."
Su Mo looked thoughtfully at Wei Ziyi, "Within the Luofeng Alliance, someone is secretly colluding with Wusheng Hall?"
"Do you have any suspects?"
"It’s too early to say right now..."
Wei Ziyi exhaled softly, "Logically, the person I should suspect the most is Wu Daoyou. However, precisely because I should suspect him, I actually don’t.
"Now is a crucial time within the Luofeng Alliance.
"Wu Daoyou is contending with my grandfather and my mother, thinking it’s a three-way struggle when in reality it’s two against one.
"But at least outwardly, he holds a great advantage.
"Under these circumstances, there’s really no need to call for external aid... It would be like drawing a tiger to devour a wolf, an open invitation to thieves!
"Wu Daoyou is a smart man; he would not commit such unwise actions."
"That considerably narrows down the range of suspects."
Wei Ziyi spoke gravely, "Because if we consider the west... there is another territory that we simply can’t avoid."
Taking a breath, Su Mo mentioned this place, and his heart was somewhat complicated.
His very first escort mission was to Jinyang City: "Are you suspecting that within Jinyang City, either of those two leaders, or just one of them, is secretly in league with Wusheng Hall, waiting for the most intense internal turmoil within the Luofeng Alliance to strike a fatal blow?"
"...I just hope I’m wrong."
Wei Ziyi’s face showed no joy, but rather a hint of melancholy:
"The Luofeng Alliance has grown into a den of wolves. One false step and the territory across the Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays could very well become rivers of blood."
Su Mo smiled, "Miss Wei, you’re as cunning as my Sister Yun."
Wei Ziyi’s eyes sparkled, and she giggled, "Thanks for the praise, Su, the Chief of the Escort... um, what do you think about this matter? Let’s both share our views."
Su Mo mused for a moment, not speaking directly.
Mainly because tonight’s events made Su Mo think of two things.
The first is that... to this day, Hua Qianyu, Wei Ruhan, and Wu Daoyou have still not revealed their true colors to the other members of the Luofeng Alliance.
It would be logical now for Hua Qianyu to directly reveal his relationship with Wei Ruhan.
