Inside the escort agency, Lin Ce felt somewhat conflicted.
No matter how much you try to hide, you eventually realize you can't escape it.
To be honest, ever since his last experience escorting goods to Black Mountain, he has been quite reluctant to do so.
However, due to the constraints of the "King of Escorts" system, if his employer, Su Caiying, decides to take on the escort mission, he will have no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
The sudden appearance of that black wind seemed to still be vivid in his mind, making him quite wary.
"It's been three months already. Does the Black Mountain Temple need new medicinal herbs again?"
"We have to face this eventually," Lin Ce asked, his eyes flashing.
"No, Chief Escort Lin, you're mistaken."
Su Caiying laughed, "Things are different now than they were three months ago. The Black Mountain Temple no longer needs to transport medicinal herbs up the mountain. They don't lack medicinal herbs now."
Lin Ce looked calmly at Su Caiying and, as expected, heard her continue speaking.
"Not long ago, the mist that had been shrouding the depths of the Black Mountain dissipated, and a large number of rare medicinal plants were dug up by the mountain people. This news has already reached the ears of many interested people."
Looking at Lin Ce, Su Caiying noticed that he remained indifferent and had no intention of taking over the conversation, which made her feel somewhat discouraged.
In that case, how can I naturally express what I have to say later?
She let out a sigh of relief and decided to stop dwelling on it.
"Fifth Brother probably received the news earlier, so he sent Steward Zhang here. But don't worry, the escort I'm about to talk about has nothing to do with Fifth Brother."
Su Caiying glanced at Lin Ce and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone:
“I know you will have some objections because of what happened before, so I have decided not to cooperate with them.”
Lin Ce smiled faintly.
For him, as long as he is strong enough, it doesn't matter who he cooperates with.
However, it is rare for Su Caiying to have such a heart.
He nodded, not letting the other person continue their monologue.
"Hmm, so what?"
"So this shipment was picked up from outside Erhe County. The Baicao Sect in Sanjiang Prefecture wanted to entrust us with a shipment, and I have already accepted it."
After carefully observing Lin Ce's expression and seeing that there was no significant change, Su Caiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt a bit exhausted, like she was the most cautious boss she'd ever been.
But to be fair, Lin Ce's act of slapping Steward Wang to death earlier did startle her quite a bit.
This Chief Escort Lin is clearly not the kind of person who can be treated casually.
"What kind of dart was it?"
Now that Su Caiying has accepted the offer, Lin Ce naturally wants to understand it thoroughly.
"Go to Sanjiang County and escort a group of medicine practitioners from Baicao Sect to Black Mountain."
"A body dart?"
Lin Ce was somewhat surprised by Su Caiying's words.
"Wouldn't it be better for them to just use a security escort agency from Sanjiang County? Why go through all this trouble, making us go through Erhe County and then escort them back? Isn't that redundant?"
Su Caiying smiled.
"The Hundred Herbs Sect has its reasons for making this choice. The news that rare medicinal plants are produced on Black Mountain is only circulating in a small circle. Once they openly seek help from the escort agencies in Sanjiang County, the news will definitely not be kept secret. When everyone knows about it, it will be difficult for them to enjoy the benefits alone. Therefore, we, who are located on the southern slope of Black Mountain, are the most suitable for them."
"Is it enough to just send it to Montenegro?"
Lin Ce pondered for a moment, "It's not that difficult."
"No."
Somewhat afraid to look Lin Ce in the eye, Su Caiying whispered:
"Once they reach the Black Mountain, the caravan will also act as guards to ensure that the herbalists can safely complete their herb gathering and then escort them back to the Hundred Herbs Sect."
"..."
Lin Ce sighed helplessly and stared at Su Caiying.
"Master, are you serious about taking on this escort mission?"
Although she felt a little guilty, Su Caiying still mustered up her courage.
"Of course we're serious, because the reward offered by the Hundred Herbs Sect for this escort mission is more generous than ever before."
In fact, she certainly knew what Lin Ce was thinking at that moment.
It's simply because they felt this escort mission would take a very long time and be extremely troublesome to carry out.
But coincidentally, that's why she chose to take on this escort mission.
The substantial rewards were only one aspect; what Lin Ce was worried about was precisely what she hoped for.
She has already signed a contract with the Hundred Herbs Sect, stipulating that if any of the medicine apprentices are injured during the escort mission, the escort agency will compensate them three times the amount of the loss.
Such a significant concession is why Baicao Sect ultimately chose Sihai Escort Agency.
Otherwise, even if the Hundred Herbs Sect were desperate and grasping at straws, it would be difficult to entrust the matter to such a small escort agency.
Of course, there's no need to tell Lin Ce all these little details.
With these thoughts in mind, and noticing that the rebate system did not issue a warning, Su Caiying nodded in satisfaction.
Perhaps all that happened before was just a small obstacle on the road to success, and that I will reach the pinnacle of my life by relying on the rebate system, starting from this moment.
She had witnessed the镖局's recent rise to prominence.
However, this escort mission was complicated, and ensuring that every step was flawless would be extremely difficult.
As for the fate of those drug users, Su Caiying has learned not to dwell on it too much.
"Okay, I understand. I'll get ready and we'll set off tomorrow."
Lin Ce cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and turned to leave.
He couldn't refuse the offer since he had already accepted it, but don't even think about getting a friendly attitude from him.
Watching Lin Ce's retreating figure, Su Caiying pouted helplessly.
"Seventh Miss, to be honest, I really don't understand why you're always so keen on taking on these hot potatoes?"
Rose looked at her seventh young lady with a puzzled expression.
"Even if you haven't actually handled any business, the Su family shouldn't be so bad at spotting a swindle like this, right?"
Su Caiying shrugged, avoiding the main issue concerning herself: "So, Rose, you mean it's understandable that Chief Escort Lin is angry?"
"No."
Rose shook her head. "Miss, as the owner, you are the one who should be angry with him. He has no right to be angry with you."
Seeing Qiangwei speaking earnestly, Su Caiying laughed.
"Alright, say more of these things to me after Chief Escort Lin is gone. I love to hear them."
"I don't quite understand this Lin Ce. In just three months, he has managed to make the entire escort agency quite well-organized, and even has added several more rank-3 martial artists."
"Li Qingshan has even become an eighth-rank martial artist. Based on his current situation, he is already on par with some of the escort agencies in Sanjiang County."
Rose suddenly became serious. "Seventh Miss, from now on, when you face Lin Ce, you must not be as casual as before."
Lin Ce, whom they were discussing, had already informed everyone at the escort agency and summoned one of the escorts separately.
"Yu Jiu, we're all going on a mission tomorrow. Is there anything you want to say to me at this time?"
