Chapter 54 Famous in the world
At dawn, a faint morning light slowly descends from the sky like a veil, and wisps of smoke from the city rise slowly, gradually blending with the morning light.

The cobblestone streets were still damp with the night dew, and the occasional barking of dogs shattered the morning tranquility. In the distance, the outline of the market gradually became clear, and early vendors were already setting out their wares, preparing for the new day.

In the No.2 Villa,

Yan Sanniang had been up for a long time and was looking through the information collected from various places in the study. There was a knock on the door and it was Ah Qi who came in.

"Boss, great fortune is coming."

Yan Sanniang raised her head, looked at Ah Qi suspiciously, and said in surprise, "Why does it feel so out of place when you say this?"

"Because it's too shocking." Ah Qi said.

"With your personality, you can say such things. It must be a big deal." Yan Sanniang said, "Tell me, how big is it?"

Ah Qi handed a stack of rice paper to Yan Sanniang and said, "I just received intelligence that the local authorities in Yunzhou have withdrawn the wanted notice for Zhuo Qingfeng. At the same time, they issued a notice stating that Zhuo Qingfeng has been cleared of all charges and reinstated. He has even performed a significant meritorious service. I suspect he will be promoted at the end of his term."

Yan Sanniang was a little surprised and said, "This is indeed a big deal, but what does it have to do with me? Where does this overwhelming wealth come from?"

Ah Qi said, "Zhuo Qingfeng's injustice has been vindicated, and this involves a major incident: the descendant of the Wood King. The identity of this descendant has also been revealed, and you'll never guess who it is."

"Who?"

"Wang Yuanbao."

"I really can't guess."

"From the moment the Silver Fox death notice was released, it's been a lie fabricated by Wang Yuanbao," Ah Qi said. "This is probably the biggest case in Linjiang City in decades, and the main player in solving it is Gu Mo, the chief assassin of Buer Villa. He single-handedly thwarted Wang Yuanbao's conspiracy, single-handedly killing the White-headed Old Man, the Scholar, the Poisonous Spider, the Hermit—yes, the Hermit is Yunzhou's number one assassin, Silver Fox—and the Ghost-faced Granny, who didn't die back then. Instead, she escaped and married Wang Yuanbao, becoming Madam Wang. Furthermore, Gu Mo counterattacked and killed over a hundred of Wang Yuanbao's crossbow-wielding assassins."

Yan Sanniang: “!!”

Ah Qi continued, "Using Zhuo Qingfeng's own words, the one who is invincible below the Grandmaster is not Silver Fox, but Gu Mo!"

Yan Sanniang's curved eyebrows instantly raised high, and a shallow wrinkle appeared between her eyebrows, as if the tranquility of a calm lake was broken by a stone. Her eyes suddenly widened, and her long eyelashes trembled violently. Her eyes were full of shock and astonishment, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky were instantly lit up. Her mouth unconsciously opened slightly, as if she was going to swallow an egg raw.

She quickly picked up the information that Ah Qi handed her and quickly glanced through it. After a long moment, she slammed her hand on the table and said excitedly, "It really is a treasure trove of wealth!"

Yan Sanniang took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, the Gu Mo siblings came to hand in the head of a poisonous spider. Come to think of it, Chu Dong was so excited that she told me there would be a big surprise in a few days. I thought she was preparing a gift for me, but I didn't expect it to be such a big surprise!"

Ah Qi nodded and said, "Hero Gu is so strong. I really want to fight him."

"you?"

Ah Qi said, "Of course I can't beat him, but it's a great honor to be able to fight against a master like him. Boss, you have a really good eye!"

Yan Sanniang slapped her forehead and said, "No, no, no, don't praise me, I don't deserve it. Although I guessed that Gu Mo's strength was not weak, I didn't expect it to be this strong!"

Yan Sanniang took a deep breath and said, "Immediately pass the order down and mobilize all our connections and influence to publicize this matter. I want my name to spread throughout Yunzhou. Also, don't forget to spread the fame of the three Zhuifenglou in Dongyang, Fuwei, and Xinyixing as well."

Yan Sanniang's face revealed a sinister and cunning look as she said, "White-headed Old Man, Scholar, and Hermit are all representative figures of the three Chasing Wind Towers. If word gets out that these three are colluding with the rebels, they will surely become notorious and lose face. Wouldn't that be the opportunity for our Buer Villa to rise?"

Ah Qi thought about it and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this?"

Yan Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "Hurry up and do it! This is a great opportunity. Even if we can't defeat them, we can at least tear a piece of their flesh off. Besides, Master Gu saved Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan, which is a huge favor to the Six Gates. With this relationship, who can get first-hand information from the Six Gates of Linjiang County faster than me?"

"Congratulations, boss."

Ah Qi said slowly, then turned and walked out.

Yan Sanniang happily stood up and shouted, "Alu, get me my rouge... Forget it, no matter how beautiful my makeup is, that guy won't be able to see it. Um, get me the clothes I bought for Chudong a few days ago."

Yan Sanniang muttered, "If I establish a good relationship with this girl, no one can snatch Gu Mo away from me!"...

Qingping Lane, Gu family courtyard.

When Gu Chudong came back with a basket of vegetables and meat, she saw Gu Mo sitting in the yard, carving a wooden sculpture with a small knife in his hand.

"Brother, what are you carving?" Gu Chudong asked.

"Can't you see it?" Gu Mo said, "It's a person."

"Ok?"

Gu Chudong carefully examined the wooden sculpture in Gu Mo's hand and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure it's a human and not a pig? Why are the ears bigger than the head, the eyes bigger than the mouth, and most importantly, half of the head has hair, and the other half... well, that half is a pig. Hahahaha, it's so ugly. Brother, who did you carve this? Hahahaha, it's so ugly!"

Gu Mo silently put away the wood carving.

Gu Chudong was still laughing and said, "Brother, tell me, who is this? How can there be such an ugly person? Hahaha, who on earth has such an image of him in your mind? Hahaha..."

Gu Mo remained silent.

Gu Chudong froze while laughing, and said unnaturally, "Brother, don't tell me you carved me..."

Gu Mo was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

Gu Chudong: “…”

"Ah, brother, you're going too far. How can I be that ugly?"

"How about I carve a new one?"

"I don't want it. You're ruining this."

At this moment,
Yan Sanniang appeared at the door and said, "Sister Chudong, what don't you want?"

"My brother wants to carve a wooden sculpture for me in my likeness," said Gu Chudong.

"Master Gu, you have this skill? Then carve one for me!" Yan Sanniang said.

"I've never seen you like this." Gu Mo said.

"It's okay, just carve one for me according to your imagination." Yan Sanniang said.

"Okay then," Gu Mo picked up the wooden sculpture in his hand and said, "If Chu Dong doesn't want this one, I'll modify it and carve one for you according to my imagination."

"Thank you... Oh, no, this is Chudong's sister in your hand?"

"Hmm."

"Forget it, Master Gu, I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the wood carving. I won't bother you anymore!"

"It's no trouble. I'm happy to do it. Boss Yan has taken such good care of us brothers and sisters. Making a wood carving is just a small token of my gratitude."

"Are you seeking revenge?"

"..."
