Such a character, if he is not the foremost in Donghuang, then who is?

At that moment, truly felt sincere admiration.

"Although the Mystic Heart Lock has been opened by Master Wan, the removal of these should be gradual.

"In my view, it would be best to remove one or two within a couple of days; after all, haste makes waste."

Master Wan nodded, the Mystic Heart Lock being a major concern in the first place.

Once the Mystic Heart Lock is removed, the rest are truly minor.

Up till now, Su Mo has nearly resolved all issues within Wusheng Hall.

Among them, the most important for him was the inheritance of Hu Sandao's Da Lie Divine Blade.

Now that he also had Master Wan's personal assurance, and having the favor of helping him unlock the Mystic Heart Lock, he could naturally be at ease.

Thus, Old Hu would stay behind for now, and Su Mo, along with Yang Xiaoyun, bid farewell to Master Wan.

As for that secret hidden deep within Master Wan, Su Mo did not even mention it.

This matter is related to the Mysterious Mechanism.

However, since it could be tied to the secret inheritance of the Wusheng Hall, Su Mo naturally refrained from rashly asking.

Now that Master Wan had escaped grave peril, let that secret continue to circulate within Wusheng Hall.

Moreover, Master Wan had endured twenty years of torment from Jun Luo for this secret, yet he never divulged a word.

It shows the great implications involved.

Rashly asking would only put Master Wan in a difficult position.

Thus, without further ado, he and Yang Xiaoyun returned to their residence.

After a brief tidy-up, they left Wusheng Hall.

At the Mountain Gate, Su Mo did not see Wan Cangxin.

Master Wan, being severely injured, naturally could not come out to see them off.

But apart from that, all the Hall Masters and Li Xuechun, among others, escorted them to the gate.

After saying their farewells, Su Mo instructed Old Hu to be careful with his words and actions within Wusheng Hall, and was about to leave with Yang Xiaoyun and others, when he heard Wan Cangxin's voice from behind:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort, please wait, please hold on!"

Turning back, it was indeed Wan Cangxin and Wan Yilan at the gate.

Su Mo smiled: "Brother Wan, Miss Wan."

Wan Yilan dumbly:

"Now, I hardly count as Miss Wan anymore…

"Su, the Chief, you're leaving just like that without informing me, I should at least personally see you off."

"That's too polite."

Su Mo smiled slightly: "When can we drink to yours and Brother Wan's wedding?"

Wan Yilan blushed, glancing at Wan Cangxin, who scratched his head in a dazed manner.

This led Wan Yilan to lightly snort, then she turned her gaze to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun again:

"Never mind us, when can we drink to you two's wedding?"

"Soon."

Su Mo confidently: "Give it some more time, and I'll send you an invitation."

"Really?"

Wan Yilan and Wan Cangxin were both startled.

Su Mo laughed heartily: "Could this be false?"

"Then… congratulations, Su, the Chief, and Vice Leader Yang."

Both of them quickly bowed.

Hearing this, the people behind them also bowed in congratulations.

For a moment, Su Mo felt quite proud, while Yang Xiaoyun gave him a look and said:

"The date isn't even set yet, and here you are talking nonsense."

"If the date was set, I'd have brought the invitations today."

"…That's true."

After a brief chat, Wan Cangxin took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Su Mo, saying softly:

"My father actually wanted to come in person, but given his current condition, he really couldn't make it.

"So, he wrote a letter and handed it to Su, the Chief of the Escort.

"Please burn the letter after reading it."

Su Mo paused for a moment, finally nodding:

"Very well, Brother Wan, we shall meet again in the future."

"We shall meet again!"

Master Wan and Wan Yilan saluted with their fists and said their farewells.

Su Mo helped Yang Xiaoyun mount their horse, followed by Xu Lu and Zhen Xiaoxiao, and they set off immediately, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Master Wan and Wan Yilan stood at the entrance of Wusheng Hall, watching their figures disappear into the distance, remaining there for a long time.

After a long sigh, Master Wan pulled Wan Yilan and turned back into Wusheng Hall.

There were many complicated matters inside Wusheng Hall that needed their attention now.

...

...

Inside the restaurant, Zhen Xiaoxiao, who was starved last night, was feasting heartily.

Seeing this made Su Mo feel somewhat heartbroken.

It wasn't sympathy for the half-starved Zhen Xiaoxiao, but for his own wallet.

Yang Xiaoyun was eating and snickering, while Xu Lu, just watching Zhen Xiaoxiao's appearance, couldn't help but sit far away.

No matter how long it's been, no matter how many times he's seen it, he always felt an inexplicable worry.

Fearing that Zhen Xiaoxiao, in her frenzied eating, might end up swallowing him too.

Zhen Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to others, eating while repeatedly sighing.

Su Mo couldn't help but ask:

"If you're not satisfied with this meal, we can always discuss the next one..."

"How could that be?"

Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head: "It's not because of the food... but because of this One-legged Copper Man..."

She picked up the nearby One-legged Copper Man: "It's bent, no matter how I try, I can't straighten it."

Su Mo fell silent.

It must have been during the fight with Jun Luo, the force must have been too harsh... even the One-legged Copper Man got bent.

He gently shook his head, blaming Zhen Xiaoxiao: "It must be because you threw the One-legged Copper Man too forcefully, it got bent when it hit the ground."

Zhen Xiaoxiao blinked, sighed again, feeling less of an appetite now.

She could probably manage to eat at two more tables, but guessed she wouldn't be able to eat any more after that.

Xu Lu, listening on the side, seemed hesitant to speak.

He always wanted to say, when they found the One-legged Copper Man, it was most certainly not bent.

But before even speaking, he felt Su Mo staring straight at him, and immediately didn't dare to say it.

This restaurant, located at the foot of Wusheng Hall's mountain, in that town.

Su Mo brought them here to eat and drink, seeking an opportunity to meet Yang Yizhi and the others again.

Seeing Zhen Xiaoxiao eating well, Su Mo was about to find an excuse to leave for a moment when he saw several Jianghu people coming up the stairs.

They casually found a spot to sit and immediately started talking:

"It's a real pity we missed the excitement at Wusheng Hall."

"Yes, and who knows why, the marriage between Lord Li and Miss Wan was suddenly called off."

"The gifts we brought this morning were all returned by Wusheng Hall."

"No one knows what really happened?"

Upon saying this, everyone sighed.

Then someone asked: "Fellow gentlemen, where do you plan to head to next?"

"Hey, I'm thinking of visiting the Phoenix Alliance."

"Oh?"

"You gentlemen might not be aware?

"The grand assembly of the Phoenix Alliance is about to commence, scheduled for the 25th of this month!"
