Lin Ce was unaware of what had happened after the Thirteen Wind Chasers left; at this moment, he was waiting to deliver the goods.
Yu Jiu had been left at the foot of Biyue Peak by him, and Su Qianzhong, after entering Biyue Peak, also found an excuse to slip away halfway.
It is said that the other party has an old friend at Biyue Peak, and this trip is to visit that friend.
Lin Ce didn't intend to delve too deeply into the other party's secrets; he just wanted to finish delivering the goods and leave as soon as possible.
However, this does not seem to be an easy task.
After explaining their purpose at the beginning, a disciple led them here, and for the next hour, no one paid any attention to them.
This was the first time for them, who were escorting the goods.
Who would have thought that this escort mission would get stuck at the step of handing it over to the escort agency?
Lin Ce's expression turned grim.
Having come all this way, he certainly couldn't tolerate such a thing.
"I wonder who will take over the goods? I, Lin, have been entrusted to deliver a congratulatory gift for the new peak master's ascension to the throne."
He came out of the reception room and shouted loudly.
With the blessing of the flawless body, this shout was like a thunderclap, shaking half of the Azure Water Peak.
Soon, figures emerged from various parts of Biyue Peak and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Lin Ce smiled with satisfaction.
Whatever happened at Biyue Peak, or why he was left standing there, is no longer important.
He deliberately made a big fuss, not afraid that no one would step in to resolve the issue.
"What? The appointment of a new peak master is not even confirmed yet, so why would someone send a congratulatory gift at this time?"
"Who let them up the mountain to cause trouble?"
"I heard it was a congratulatory gift sent by the Su family. After all, they are guests from afar, so it wouldn't be appropriate to turn them away."
"A gift from the Su family? I've never heard of any connection between Biyue Peak and the Su family."
...
Along the way, the many members of Biyue Peak chatted with each other, seemingly unaware of the entrusted goods.
Lin Ce's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he might have been tricked on this trip.
"Young man, which escort agency are you from? And who is the head escort?"
A woman stepped forward and, seeing the large group of teenagers present, instinctively asked a question.
"I am the head镖师 (chief镖师) leading the team. We are from the Sihai镖局 (Sihai Escort Agency)."
"You're the chief镖头 (head镖师, a type of镖师, a kind of bodyguard/escort)?"
The woman was taken aback, then murmured, "Sihai Escort Agency... There really was an agency called Sihai Escort Agency a long time ago, but haven't we heard of it in ages?"
Lin Ce, aware of the other party's doubts, smiled and reminded him:
"We are the Sihai Escort Agency of Sanjiang County."
"Oh, the Sihai Escort Agency of Sanjiang County, I see."
The woman glanced at the group of young men from the escort agency and asked again:
"I heard it was a congratulatory gift sent by the Su family, sent by someone from the Su family. But who was it given to?"
"This shipment was commissioned by the head of the Su family. He said it was a congratulatory gift for the new peak master's ascension to the throne, but I really don't know who it is to be given to."
Lin Ce answered truthfully, then suddenly had a thought and decided to give it a try.
"By the way, senior, could you accept this shipment on my behalf?"
Although the woman in front of him still had a graceful figure and pretty face, it was clear that she was from the previous generation.
"Shall I receive it on your behalf?"
The woman hesitated for a moment.
The shouts of other young women could be heard behind them.
"Uncle-Master Wen, it would be best if you accepted it on my behalf. No matter which uncle or senior uncle ascends to the position of peak master, you can hand it over."
“Yes, Uncle Wen, no one on this peak is more suitable than you.”
"That's right, as long as it's accepted by Uncle Wen, there won't be any problems at all."
"..."
The woman, referred to as "Uncle Wen," had a dark expression on her face.
"Why am I the most suitable person to act as a receiver? Can't I become the peak master?"
However, her two questions did not change the situation.
The group of girls who came together chattered and laughed incessantly.
The young men from the escort agency had never seen anything like it before, and they were all stunned.
Only Li Qingshan glared angrily, drew his longsword with a clang, and flicked his finger, causing the blade to tremble and emit a series of dragon roars.
"What are you all doing? Quickly calm down and stay true to your nature. Women will only slow down your progress in training."
This action immediately drew chuckles from the group of young women.
"Hey, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. You're telling them to stick to their nature, don't they know that's what nature is?"
However, Li Qingshan only looked at the group of young women with cold indifference.
"Alright, all of you shut up, what kind of behavior is this?"
"Uncle-Master Wen" stopped the women before speaking to Lin Ce:
“My name is Wenyan. I usually handle miscellaneous matters on the peak. If the chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a person who can be trusted), it would be appropriate for me to temporarily accept the goods.”
"So, Senior Wen, is it alright to hand over this item to you?"
Lin Ce smiled slightly.
The many youths behind him were all startled and prepared to attack.
These young men were all among the first batch of personnel from the escort agency, and they had all experienced their first trip to Black Mountain.
The scene of Lin Ce drawing his sword after asking that question was still deeply imprinted in their minds.
They didn't care whether this was Biyue Peak or any other place; as long as the chief镖头 (chief镖头, a term for a bodyguard or镖师, often used in the sense of a bodyguard or镖师), they naturally wouldn't hesitate for a second.
But Lin Ce ultimately did not make a move.
He smiled, as if he had changed his mind.
"Never mind, the Su family patriarch clearly stated that he would hand it over to the new peak master. I'll wait and then personally hand it over to the peak master. By the way, when will your peak master take office?"
Lin Ce's performance was somewhat unexpected, but Wen Yan didn't seem to care.
She was known for her good temper, and many of the younger disciples on Biyue Peak were not afraid of her and were even very close to her.
"If that's the case, we'll probably have to wait a while longer, because some problems have arisen. The ceremony for the Peak Master's ascension to the throne will likely be postponed for more than half a month."
Wen Yan looked at Lin Ce somewhat embarrassed.
"The ceremony venue is not yet completed, and Biyue Peak is full of female disciples. It is not convenient for you all to stay on the peak for the next half month. Why don't you all go down the peak first?"
Seemingly realizing that his words had been somewhat harsh, he added gently:
"There are many inns by the lake at the foot of the peak. The chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) said I recommended them and that I can waive half of your room rate."
We still have to wait more than half a month.
Lin Ce sighed helplessly in his heart.
This shipment was naturally a good one for an ordinary escort agency.
Anyway, I've already received the hefty prize money, so staying here for more than half a month is like a paid vacation, why not?
But for him, who possesses the "King of Escorts" system, a mission is not truly complete until the goods are successfully delivered.
Because the reward he needs most can only be obtained at that time.
There's really no other way, so this is the only option.
The system is so rigid that it doesn't even give people a chance to find a loophole.
He was about to call the boys to carry the goods down the mountain.
A voice suddenly rang out.
"No need. The Su family is incredibly wealthy. How can their goodwill be wasted like this? I'll take this delivery."
