The sound came, and the figure had already arrived in front of everyone.
She was a woman with a cold and aloof demeanor, carrying a sword.
"Senior Sister Zhou!"
The group of young women who had been there earlier suddenly became like mice seeing a cat; after greeting each other, they all stood obediently in place.
Compared to their senior uncle Wen Yan from the previous generation, they were more afraid of their senior sister Zhou.
Even Wen Yan's expression became somewhat unnatural upon seeing the woman.
One person alone turned what should have been a lively scene into a cold and desolate one.
Lin Ce also narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could sense that the woman known as "Senior Sister Zhou" was no ordinary person.
"Not simple" naturally refers to the opponent's martial arts level.
First of all, this "Senior Sister Zhou" is at least at the Innate level, but it is unknown which level of the Innate realm she has reached.
As expected of a famous sect in Sihai Prefecture, even a single disciple has already reached the Innate Realm.
Indeed, choosing not to display the escort number along the way was the right decision.
The waters of Sihai Prefecture run too deep.
"Senior Sister Zhou" came up to Lin Ce, trying her best to make her face look less stiff.
"The new peak master will be my master. I will take on this escort mission on his behalf."
With a wave of her hand, she instructed the young men of the escort agency to carry the goods and follow her.
However, she clearly couldn't command the young men before Lin Ce, the chief镖头 (bodyguard), gave the order.
"So, I can just hand over this item to you?"
Under the watchful eyes of the other teenagers, Lin Ce asked that classic question again.
"Wasn't I clear enough? My master will be the new peak master, and I will accept the position on his behalf."
"Senior Sister Zhou" frowned, her expression growing increasingly menacing.
However, Lin Ce in front of her only remained silent for a moment before waving his hand.
"No, I can't entrust this shipment to you. I'll come back in about two weeks."
"Senior Sister Zhou's" expression turned even more unpleasant.
Not to mention she was angry, Lin Ce was also in a bad mood.
This system is so frustrating; it shows absolutely no mercy.
"Wait a minute, is Azure Water Peak a place you can come and go as you please?"
"Senior Sister Zhou" had a frosty expression on her face, and was just short of drawing her sword.
At this point, it's natural that other characters should make their appearance.
Another voice drifted over at just the right moment.
"Zhou Yunyun, the position of peak master is still undetermined. How dare you say such things? Or has someone given you a different kind of hint?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure entered the arena.
"Senior Sister Chi..."
The young women present looked at each other, feeling extremely uncomfortable, wishing they had left sooner.
"Xiangyun, you're here too."
Wen Yan looked at the person who had come and smiled helplessly.
"Alright, you two can resolve this privately. Don't let the guests laugh at you."
Lin Ce shook his head inwardly and asked the question to "Senior Sister Chi" who had just arrived:
"If it wasn't her, would it be enough to just hand over the goods to you?"
"No, I'm not sure about that either."
"Senior Sister Chi" smiled slightly and shook her head.
Lin Ce sighed inwardly.
Unfortunately, the system's response was the same: the delivery conditions were still not met.
Are you kidding me? Is there really no one on this Azure Water Peak who can take on the escort mission?
Does it really mean that we have to wait more than half a month to personally hand it over to the newly appointed Master of Biyue Peak before it's considered complete?
"Chi Xiangyun! Are you really going to throw the mask on?"
Zhou Yunyun coldly watched the approaching woman, her hand already gripping the hilt of her sword. "Perfect, let's take this opportunity to reclaim the title of chief disciple."
"If you want to fight, I'll gladly oblige, but not today."
Chi Xiangyun turned her head to look behind her and said:
"Regarding the ownership of this shipment, there is someone here who is most qualified to give an opinion."
Everyone couldn't help but follow her gaze.
"The boss?"
First, the young men from the escort agency exclaimed in surprise.
Two figures slowly approached from a distance behind Chi Xiangyun.
Those familiar faces could only belong to Su Caiying, the owner of the escort agency, and Qiangwei beside her.
Lin Ce's eyes flickered.
Su Caiying was coming, but he hadn't told her about it.
Otherwise, they could have traveled with the caravan.
Of course, as the employer, Lin Ce had no say in her affairs.
Who are they?
Wen Yan voiced the question that was on everyone's mind at Biyue Peak.
Who exactly can decide the ownership of this shipment?
"Hello everyone, I am the owner of the Sihai Escort Agency, and also..."
Su Caiying opened her mouth, but was immediately interrupted by Qiangwei beside her.
“Miss, I am not for you to use. You have some misunderstanding about the martial world.”
"Is that so? Then what should I use, young lady?"
Su Caiying blinked, humbly seeking guidance.
"Hmm... perhaps you could try using 'this lady'?"
Rose made this suggestion.
Su Caiying readily accepted the good advice.
"Ahem, hello everyone, I am the owner of this escort agency, and I am also from the Su family..."
"Do you know who this shipment is for?"
Zhou Yunyun didn't have time to listen to her finish speaking and interrupted her directly.
No, I don't know either.
Su Caiying shrugged. "Father didn't tell me who he wanted to give it to. Anyway, whoever becomes the peak master, that's fine with me."
"Young lady, are you the daughter of the head of the Su family?"
Wen Yan suddenly asked this question.
Yes, that's right.
The little girl nodded honestly.
The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Su Caiying noticed that all the people from Biyue Peak were staring at her with strange looks, which made her feel uneasy.
"So it was her."
The disciples of Biyue Peak exchanged glances, conveying the same message.
"Hmph, interesting. I'll wait and see how this show unfolds."
Zhou Yunyun sneered and stopped worrying about the goods, leaving directly behind.
The other young women looked at each other, and finally dispersed quickly after a gentle "Let's go."
However, even as they left, their gazes couldn't help but linger on Su Caiying.
Su Caiying seemed completely oblivious and didn't care about any of this.
"Chief镖头 Lin, you take them down first. Leave the goods on the mountain. Qiangwei and I will watch over them."
With the employer having spoken like this, what reason did Lin Ce have to object?
He wasn't stupid; he clearly noticed the strange atmosphere from before.
At this point, there's no point in lingering any longer.
In any case, the goods have already been delivered to Biyue Peak, and no thief would dare to be so bold as to snatch them from the jaws of death.
We're just waiting for the final result.
Let's go.
He called the youths down the mountain, made up a random excuse to leave the main group, and let Li Qingshan lead the group away.
He headed towards Bishui Lake at the foot of Bishui Peak.
That was the place I had arranged to meet Yu Jiu.
After he finished his business, the two met here and headed to Haikou in the south.
However, when he arrived at the agreed location and sent out a whistle, Yu Jiu did not appear.
