Capítulo 17: Yang Xiaoyun
Editor: Atlas Studios
She was clearly a woman, but when she spoke, she had the demeanor of Yang Yizhi, the Iron Blood Dragon Spear.
There was a hint of gentleness in her eyes, but there was also an innate aura of authority.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched. He felt that he was really unlucky today.
Why did I have to meet this woman…
The woman's name was Yang Xiaoyun.
She was two years older than Su Mo.
When they knew each other from a young age, the Iron Blood Escort Company had not reached its current status. The Purple Sun Escort Company had not declined either.
Yang Xiaoyun's father and Su Mo's father were sworn brothers.
It was a common saying. A marriage between them would cement their ties.
Therefore, Su Mo had a fiancee from a young age, Yang Xiaoyun.
However… regarding this marriage, be it before Su Mo transmigrated or after he transmigrated, he was rather against it.
The main reason was that Yang Xiaoyun was not as gentle and considerate as other women. She did not like to put on makeup but loved to carry arms.
She did not possess any feminine skills like needlework, nor gentleness and consideration.
At the mention of sabers, swords, spears, and halberds, her eyes would light up.
Ever since she was young, she had been the queen of children on the streets. Her small white fists made many children bow down to her and 'willingly' offered up their candied hawthorn.
Then, Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo would share their food and eat heartily.
Of course, between them, it was not always harmonious and friendly.
As she was two years older than Su Mo and his fiancee, Yang Xiaoyun felt that she had the duty to take care of her useless future husband.
Therefore, ever since they were young, Yang Xiaoyun had been more concerned than Su Mo's parents about supervising his martial arts practice.
But there was a time when Su Mo was disobedient, and Yang Xiaoyun really hit him…
This also caused Su Mo to be fearful of Yang Xiaoyun, and he practically fled at the sight of her.
In the end, the Su family declined and Father Su died tragically in the martial world. Mother Su died of depression and the huge escort company collapsed.
This naturally had a huge impact on their marriage.
On top of that, that bastard Su Mo from before was an unfilial descendant from head to toe. Not only did he not work hard for his family, he even degraded himself to the point of constantly ruining his family background.
Yang Yizhi did not want his daughter to interact with this unworthy brat.
This was in accord with Su Mo's wishes. Every day, he would have a happy time at the brothel.
In the end, when the Iron Maiden heard of this, she went straight to the brothel, dragged him out, and beat him up.
There was a huge commotion.
There was no one in the entire Sunset City who didn't know that the Iron Maiden had beaten up her husband in a fit of rage. If one already had the best, he would not pay attention to other choices. For a time, it became a joke that was relished till now.
As for Su Mo, he made use of this opportunity to spread his name far and wide. However, his reputation was naturally not very good.
Later on, they heard that Yang Xiaoyun had also been scolded by Yang Yizhi because of this incident. This was the first time that the father and daughter got so angry with each other.
Even Su Mo did not know the details. After that incident, the two of them rarely met.
After Su Mo transmigrated here, he lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with others.
Unexpectedly, they met again at this moment.
To be asked in front of others if his old habit had surfaced and he again visited the brothel… Su Mo felt that he was somewhat embarrassed.
Just as he was at a loss for an answer, Yang Xiaoyun sat down and looked up at him. "Sit."
"…"
Su Mo could only follow the good advice and occasionally looked up at the other escorts from the Iron Blood Escort Company.
Everyone nodded at him.
It could not be said that they respected him. Even if they did, it was on account of Su Mo's father. However, it was not necessarily true that they looked down on him. Even if they did, they didn't have to show it on their face and make their mistress unhappy?
Those who were here, even if their martial arts were mediocre, were at least no longer greenhorns who showed their anger on their faces and often died early.
"How have you been?"
After sitting down, Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo and lowered her voice. Her expression was filled with concern.
"I'm good, I'm well."
"Well, that's good."
Yang Xiaoyun nodded. With an older sister cum motherly expression, she said, "I haven't been at home these days. In recent years, my father has left many things in the escort company for me to handle. I often run around, so I didn't show much concern for you. Don't blame me."
"No, no!"
Su Mo shook his head firmly.
"Yeah?"
Yang Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and did not know what to say. She simply slammed the table and said, "Waiter, serve the tea!"
The waiter of the teahouse had long prepared the tea. Upon hearing that, he hurriedly carried the tray and served the large cups of tea.
Yang Xiaoyun seemed to have thought of something during this period of time. She smiled and said, "I heard that you have changed a lot in recent years. It's a good thing that you don't frequent the brothel and are working hard in the martial arts. The martial world is filled with trials and tribulations. You will inevitably be able to carry the banner of the Purple Sun Escort Company in the future. In the end, you have to learn more and practice more diligently."
"Your family was well-educated. The martial arts of the Purple Sun Sect are not to be underestimated. Although in the past ten years, there have been few disciples who entered the martial world, it is still a famous name."
"Now that it's in your hands, don't let this famous name be covered in dust."
Although he felt that the two of them were acting a little strange, these words were invaluable advice. Su Mo was not someone who did not know what was good for him. He immediately nodded solemnly.
"Of course."
This surprised Yang Xiaoyun. The way she looked at Su Mo was different. It was as if some light had emerged from the dead silence.
She could not help but smile. "You are indeed different. I knew it. Uncle Su was a hero. You, Su Mo, will never be an ordinary person."
"Yes. If you have time, you can visit my house."
"When Uncle Su was still around, our families often interacted. I don't know why, but many things changed overnight."
"The people are still the same people, the city is still the same city. Everything looks the same, yet everything is different."
"I believe my father will be happy if you visit him often, right?"
Su Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had an impression of Yang Yizhi.
He was unsmiling and a person of few words. After the Su family's incident, he only appeared once in the mourning hall. After that, he never stepped into the Su family's main gate again.
Everyone said that Yang Yizhi didn't want to have anything to do with the Su Family.
He also restricted Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo's interactions.
There were even some matchmakers who came to the Yangs' house to ask for Yang Xiaoyun's hand in marriage…
Strangely, Yang Yizhi didn't agree to any.
As for the engagement between Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, he did not mention it at all.
This had confused many people.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyun's words, Su Mo did not know how to reply and could only deal with it for the time being. "When I'm free, I'll naturally visit you."
"Then it's settled. I won't be going out for a while. Come to the escort company and I'll personally supervise your martial arts."
"…"
Capítulo 18: Going Home

Su Mo regretted his words immediately.
Why did I suddenly agree to visit her?
He wanted to say something but decided against it when he saw Yang Xiaoyun's happy expression.
He smiled bitterly. He'd just let it be.
He would be fine later. He would find some time to pay a visit and deal with it.
After that, there would be nothing to talk about between him and Yang Xiaoyun.
The two of them had not interacted much in the past few years. After Su Mo transmigrated, other than having memories of each other, they did not have much interaction.
Rather than saying that they were childhood sweethearts, it was better to say that they were familiar strangers.
However, it could be seen that Yang Xiaoyun was very concerned for Su Mo.
She told him about how she used to traverse the martial world.
However, it was a pity that her eloquence was average. She only spoke in a flat and straightforward manner. Furthermore, the Iron Blood Escort Company was different from Su Mo's Purple Sun Escort Company, which was in decline.
When she was out, which mountain or village rebels would not give her some face?
Of course, they gave face to the Iron Blood Escort Company, or rather, Yang Yizhi.
Even so, with Yang Yizhi's foundation and Yang Xiaoyun's outstanding talent, their journey was naturally smooth sailing.
After this conversation, Su Mo had a different understanding of Yang Xiaoyun.
The Yang Xiaoyun in his memories was more aggressive, and his impression of this person was more of fear than anything else.
But from the looks of it now, Yang Xiaoyun's concern for Su Mo came from the bottom of her heart.
And she had high hopes for him.
As for the love between a man and a woman, he hadn't seen it yet.
It was more like a habit she had developed since she was young.
That was good too.
It would save him a lot of trouble.
They drank tea and chatted. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting. A middle-aged man from the Iron Blood Escort Company came over. "Young Madam, we can't delay any longer. We have to go back."
"Alright. Su Mo, come with us."
That didn't matter anymore.
Su Mo relied on his two legs to walk. If he followed the people from the Iron Blood Escort Company back, he would at least have a horse to ride.
The escorts in the Iron Blood Escort Company didn't have any objections. Two escorts rode together and let Su Mo have a horse.
So, he returned to Sunset City with the people from the Iron Blood Escort Company. They parted ways after entering the city gate.
"Remember to look for me."
Before Yang Xiaoyun left, she waved at Su Mo to remind him.
Su Mo had no choice but to agree again before walking towards the Purple Sun Escort Company.
…
…
The location of the Purple Sun Escort Company wasn't remote. It was on one of the main roads of Sunset City.
When it was bustling with noise and excitement, there was an endless stream of carts in front of the entrance. It was extremely lively.
However, at this moment, the sky was not dark yet and the night market had not started. There was only an empty space and no liveliness.
Standing at the entrance of the escort company, he raised his head and saw a plaque hanging high up. On it were four big words: Purple Sun Escort Company!
The handwriting was plain and strong.
It was said that this was the plaque that Su Chengyu had personally gone to the Purple Sun Sect to ask for it.
As long as the signboard did not fall for a day, the Purple Sun Escort Company would ultimately receive the protection of the Purple Sun Sect.
However, this protection was another story.
Naturally, he could not trouble the Sect with such trivial matters.
If they really encountered some sort of irreconcilable grudge that involved the lives of their entire clan, the Purple Sun Sect would naturally not sit idly by.
However, this promise was useful to Su Chengyu.
When it came to Su Mo's side, there was even less contact between him and the Purple Sun Sect. Although they did not hate each other, many from the Purple Sun Sect would not take a liking to this useless Su family disciple.
This signboard naturally only had one function left.
He went to the entrance and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, revealing a pair of slightly cloudy eyes.
He wanted to ask, but when he saw Su Mo, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Young Master is back!"
Immediately, the door creaked open and an old servant came into view.
"Uncle Fu!"
Uncle Fu was already very old. This year, he had to be at least sixty or more.
As far as Su Mo could recall, Uncle Fu had been serving the escort company.
It was said that he was saved by Su Mo's grandfather when he was young.
He had been serving the escort company since he was young.
He had served three generations of the Su family.
Even if Su Mo was unfilial and the disciples had scattered, Uncle Fu remained loyal to Su Mo.
When he saw that Su Mo had returned, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed. However, he did not overstep his boundaries and carefully checked on Su Mo. After confirming that Su Mo was not injured and was not missing any limbs, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly said, "Young Master, come in quickly. It must have been hard on you, right? You're a few days later than expected. I was thinking that if Young Master doesn't come back today, I'll go to the Ten Miles Pavilion tomorrow morning to welcome you."
Su Mo laughed bitterly. "Don't do that. You're old, so remember not to rush around."
"How could that be… When I was young, I followed my great-grandfather everywhere. I slept in the snow and my body was fine."
Uncle Fu smiled, revealing the three remaining teeth in his mouth. His face was full of wrinkles, but there was an indescribable pride.
"Of course, of course. But don't worry, the journey was short and the process was safe. There were no accidents. It was just that the scholar's speed was a little slow, so there was some delay."
"A scholar is useless, that's a true statement."
Uncle Fu was enlightened. "It's good that you're back safely. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare some hot water for you. Take a shower first and get rid of the dust. After you're done, you can have a meal."
"Yes!"
Su Mo nodded slightly but stopped him. "Uncle Fu, this is for you."
As he spoke, he took out the bank notes and the five taels of silver that Li Yishu had given him.
"Ah, why are there so many?"
Uncle Fu was a little surprised.
"You don't have to worry about that. Just record it in the account."
"Okay, okay."
As expected, Uncle Fu did not ask any more questions. He kept the banknotes and silver in his pocket.
In this small escort company, Uncle Fu was responsible for all the expenses.
Even though Su Mo had considered the fact that the two of them were the only ones left who could depend on each other for survival, was there a need to be so calculative?
However, Uncle Fu said that without rules, nothing could be done. The escort company wouldn't be like this forever. The rules had to be set from the start.
Now that there was no accountant available, he would temporarily take up the position. When the escort company became famous in the future, there would naturally be accountants, horsemen, and housekeepers.
Su Mo wasn't a person who wouldn't listen. After giving a thought to it, he felt that it made sense, so he went along with it.
After leading Su Mo through the door and passing through the winding corridor, they arrived at Su Mo's bedroom. Uncle Fu quickly turned around and returned a moment later. However, he did not bring hot water. Instead, he brought over a copper basin. The old man was all smiles.
"Young Master, when you come home, wash your face first."
