Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 85 The New Head of Changfeng Escort Agency

Fuji Villa.

Yan Sanniang sent Gu Mo and Gu Chudong out
While chatting along the way, Yan Sanniang suddenly stared at Gu Mo and looked him up and down, then asked, "Gu Mo, why do I feel like you seem to have changed?"

"What's changed?" Gu Mo asked.

"Can't tell."

Yan Sanniang suddenly took a step forward and moved very close to Gu Mo. There was a faint scent of perfume on her body, like the softest breeze in spring, which slowly penetrated into Gu Mo's nostrils.

She looked at him carefully and said, "It's really strange. The person is still the same, but the feeling has changed. Well, how should I put it? It's like, you are standing right in front of me, but I always feel as if you are very far away from me."

"Sister Yan, you have the same feeling," Gu Chudong said, "I have the same feeling. I thought it was just my illusion."

"Right, this feeling is really strange," Yan Sanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "Also, your eyes, yes, yes, mainly your eyes. They were empty and lifeless before, but now they look very bright. You don't look blind at all."

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "Maybe, one day, my eyes will suddenly get better."

"That's great." Yan Sanniang said.

"Where's the best place?"

"You can't see it with your eyes, but you always feel that the world owes me some grace."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "If I can't see it, how can it be that the world owes you?"

Yan Sanniang smiled and said, "Because when we met, you couldn't see me anymore, and when you could see me, we didn't recognize each other. It always feels like after so long, you don't even know what I look like. I feel regretful when I think about it. I know what you look like, but you don't know what I look like. It's a bit unfair."

"Then there are many unfair things in this world."

Yan Sanniang looked at Gu Mo seriously for a while and said, "Actually, the most obvious change about you is your skin. You've been traveling around for a long time, exposed to the wind and sun, so how come your skin is better than mine?"

"Talent!"

"Is it really a talent?"

"real."

"I'm so envious! This is too much! I also want to have such a good talent!"

……

Yan Sanniang sent Gu Mo and Gu Chudong out.

However, just as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, his subordinates came to inform him that several ghostwriters of considerable reputation were here to visit.

Ever since the incident with the descendants of King Mu, Gu Mo became famous overnight. Under Yan Sanniang's deliberate guidance, Buer Villa also became famous, attracting many ghostwriters to come and affiliate with it, as well as many customers who came to discuss cooperation. Buer Villa's chasing business was truly on the rise.

Yan Sanniang naturally became busy.

Gu Mo asked Yan Sanniang to take care of something, and he and Gu Chudong left on their own.

Yan Sanniang nodded and left in a hurry.

Gu Chudong walked out holding Gu Mo's arm. She suddenly reached out and held Gu Mo's hand, saying, "Brother, you just lied to Sister Yan."

"What did you lie to her about?"

Gu Chudong said: "Sister Yan asked why your skin is so good, and you told her it was a talent. You lied. When you were traveling around, your skin was very rough and dark.

But, ever since you killed the flower thief Zhou Tong in the ruined temple outside the city a few months ago, your skin has gradually gotten better. You clearly transformed yourself from the inside out by reaching the pinnacle of internal cultivation, yet you insist it's a natural talent."

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "How clever!"

Gu Chudong said with a smile, "Brother, is it true that such a big change will occur after you have reached a high level of martial arts? Not only is your skin as white as jade now, but I just touched your palms, and even the calluses from practicing swordsmanship are gone. In addition, especially after that day in Jiuhua Mountain, after your battle with Zuo Yue, the change is even greater. How should I put it, it's a kind of... temperament. It must be very attractive. Brother, can the improvement of internal strength really bring such a big change?"

"Well, it's possible," Gu Mo gently touched Gu Chudong's head and said, "Let's rest for a while this time. I will teach you a peerless magic skill. After you master this magic skill, not only will your internal energy be endless, but your skin will also be as white as jade and your youth will remain forever. Especially your realm, not just your martial arts realm, but your state of mind will also change. It's what you call an attractive temperament!"

Gu Chudong's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Brother, then won't I be as beautiful as Sister Yan in the future?"

"More beautiful than her!"

"Okay, okay, hehe, that's great, no one will call me a black girl anymore!"

Gu Chudong grinned foolishly.

Gu Mo smiled slightly.
In fact, Gu Chudong's foundation is not bad, but no one has ever sincerely thought that she is beautiful. This is because she has been traveling around with him since she was a child, and she has been exposed to the wind and sun, so her skin is rough and dark. In addition, she does not dress up. Although she has a good foundation, she can't be called beautiful at all.

"Brother, what's the name of that magical skill?"

"Ming Yu Gong."

"Hehe, just by hearing the name, I know that she will have skin as white as jade!"

"Stop drooling, it's all over my hands!"

"Okay, hey, I'm going to be beautiful!"

……

After coming out of Fuji Villa,
Gu Mo went straight to Qu Heng's house.

As soon as I arrived at the alley outside Qu's house, I saw Qu Xiao and Qu Li coming back with a large basket of vegetables and preparing to enter.

Gu Chudong immediately shouted, "Auntie, Xiaoxiao!"

"Chu Dong, Brother Amo, you're back!"

Qu Li and Qu Xiao turned around, overjoyed, and hurried over, constantly thanking Gu Mo and Gu Chudong.

After a long while, Gu Mo finally interrupted and asked, "Where's Uncle Qu? How is his injury?"

"Thank goodness for you, Ah Mo," Mrs. Qu Li said, "You and Lord Chu are good friends. He took care of your uncle when he was in the Six Gates Prison. His injuries had healed a lot when he was released. Now, after being back for a few days, he can get out of bed and move around. He's meeting guests at home right now, and Xiaoxiao and I came out to buy groceries just to entertain them."

"Hey, what kind of customer is he who bought so many vegetables?" Gu Chudong asked.

Qu Li said, "The new owner of Changfeng Escort Agency."

"New owner?"

Mrs. Qu Li said, "Yes, on the Blood-Tear Stone Clam escort mission, the Yang family father and son pledged a bail of 200,000 taels. With over 80 escorts killed, the compensation would have been a hefty sum. They would have been bankrupt, so they simply ran away with the escort agency's money."

"Ran?"

"That's right," Qu Li said, "They deserved it. If they hadn't run away, they could have dragged it out until the cat demon case was solved. Not only would they not have to pay the 200,000 taels of bail for Lingyun Villa, but they could also collect the compensation from the government after they confiscated Lingyun Villa, and the escort agency could have been saved.

But they are so ungrateful, they just ran away when they saw things were not going well. The young master of Lingyun Villa, Mo Bu Bu, sold all the things that Yang father and son had pledged, including the Changfeng Escort Agency, for a low price. Now, even if Yang father and son came back, it would be useless, and the escort agency would not be returned. The most important thing is that their reputation is now tarnished, and they probably dare not return.

Gu Mo had seen the Yang family father and son's ruthlessness and disloyalty before, so he didn't comment on it. He asked, "So what do you think of the new owner of Changfeng Escort Agency?"

Mrs. Qu Li said, "He's a very good person. Before the cat demon case was solved, he accepted the compensation for the deceased escort. After your uncle Qu and his men were cleared of their grievances, he also gave them compensation and promised to cover the cost of the medicine for their injuries."

Gu Chudong was surprised and said, "This is simply a kind person!"

Mrs. Qu Li said, "He's a young man, an old acquaintance of your uncle Qu. His name is...what's his name..."

Qu Xiao took over the conversation and said, "His name is Tang Buyi. I heard his family is in the weapons business and they're very rich!"

"Tang Buyi!" Gu Chudong asked in surprise, "How could it be him? His family has nothing to do with the escort agency, right?"

Qu Xiao asked, "Chu Dong, do you know him too?"

"Yeah, we're friends." Gu Chudong said, "His family is from Zhushan County. My brother and I went there once before and got to know him."

"That's perfect," Mrs. Qu Li said, "Come in quickly. You haven't eaten yet, right? Xiaoxiao and I will go cook. I'll make you two your favorite braised spareribs!"

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong didn't hesitate to tie up the horses and followed him into the yard.

"Dad, Brother Amo and Chudong are here!"

As soon as Qu Xiao entered the door, he shouted towards the inner room. After a while, two people appeared at the door. They were Qu Heng and Tang Buyi.

Compared to the last time he was in prison, Qu Heng's mental state was much better. However, his face was still a little pale, and his movements were still a little unnatural, obviously his injuries had not yet recovered.

"Brother Gu, Sister Chudong, long time no see!" Tang Buyi ran out quickly and bowed.

"Brother Tang, long time no see." Gu Mo said with a smile.

Gu Chudong looked at Tang Buyi and said, "Tang Buyi, you've changed a lot. You look much calmer."

Tang Buyi grinned and said, "Well, it's a long story. You all know about the incident that happened in my family last time. My father was seriously injured and hasn't fully recovered yet. Someone had to take charge of the family, and I was forced to take on the responsibility. During this period, I was like sleeping later than a dog and getting up earlier than a chicken. Every day when I opened my eyes, there were a lot of things waiting for me, entertainment, general ledgers, inspections, etc. I never got a good night's sleep."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "You are the eldest young master of the Tang family, the future head of the family. These things will be handed over to you sooner or later. It would be good to adapt as soon as possible."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "Why didn't you stay in Zhushan County and come to Linjiang City? And why did you take over the Changfeng Escort Agency? Are you planning to leave the Tang family's business behind and start your own business?"

"No," Tang Buyi said, "How could I have that ability? My father's injuries have almost recovered, and the family doesn't need me anymore, so he asked me to come to Linjiang City to find you, Brother Gu."

"What do you want from me?" Gu Mo asked doubtfully.

"My father said you will definitely become a giant in the martial arts world in the future, and asked me to make friends with you," Tang Buyi said, "My father said I am not good at either literature or martial arts. Although I will take over as the head of the family in the future, I have no talent for business, and my talent for martial arts is not very good either. I have no redeeming qualities at all. However, if I can make more friends, that is also a kind of ability. Brother Gu is the first friend my father asked me to make."

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong didn't know what to say for a moment.

It’s not a question of utilitarianism or not. After all, 99% of people in this world get along with each other for a certain purpose.

However, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong had never met anyone like Tang Buzhi who directly stated the purpose of their interactions.

"Tang Buyi, you are so honest, does your father know?" Gu Chudong said speechlessly.

"know."

Tang Buyi said seriously, "My father has planned my future. He will select a few talented business people from the Tang family to assist me in my business. In addition, he has already trained young people with martial arts talents in the family. Therefore, when I become the head of the family in the future, I only need to sit back and take charge. I don't have to worry about developing business routes or maintaining the family's reputation and security.

Therefore, the path he set for me to be the head of the family is to make many friends. My father's path to be the head of the family is to have high martial arts skills and high smelting technology. I am not good at either of these two, so I can only change to another direction. It would be very good if I could gain a reputation as having many friends in the world in the future.

So, I came to Linjiang City to find Brother Gu, thinking I'd make friends with you first. Unfortunately, after I arrived in Linjiang City, I found out you went to Qingyang County, so I had no choice but to wait. Then I heard Changfeng Escort Agency was for sale. I thought about it and thought opening an escort agency would be a good idea. Traveling all over the country would allow me to meet many people, which would be perfect for me to make friends with. So, I bought Changfeng Escort Agency."

After listening to Tang Buyi's words,
Although Gu Mo felt that there were many points to complain about, after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a very good direction for Tang Buyi.

The Tang family has developed to its current level. As long as the head of the family does not act recklessly, the Tang family will not be short of money. The family can just pass on the inheritance step by step. However, Tang Buyi's talent in both civil and military affairs is average. He will not become famous if he practices martial arts forcibly, and he may ruin the family if he forces himself to do business.

Therefore, it is indeed feasible to make friends widely. It does not mean that having many friends will necessarily be useful, but at least you can make a name for yourself in the world by being unique.

"But, Brother Tang, how are you going to make more friends?" Gu Mo asked doubtfully.

"My father gave me a lot of money," Tang Buyi said. "When traveling in the martial arts world, it's inevitable that there will be inconveniences. Just find me, Tang Buyi. I dare not say more, but a little money for travel expenses is no problem."

Gu Mo: “…”

This kind of making friends is indeed very helpful. Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, you will definitely have many friends.

However, this method can only be used by someone like Tang Buyi who is not short of money. If an ordinary person wants to use this method, then he is simply crazy.

"Brother Gu, what do you think of my method?" Tang asked without hesitation.

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how effective it is, but I think everyone should be happy to make friends with you."

"That's fine." Tang Buyi was very happy.

Gu Chudong said: "Aren't you afraid that others will cheat you?"

"Hehe," Tang Buyi grinned and said, "Don't worry, sister Chudong. Although I'm not smart, I'm not stupid either. I know what's going on. I'll use my judgment to help different people to different degrees. Even if I'm trying to cheat, most people will only get 10 or 20 taels. How big of a deal can that be?"

Gu Chudong: “…”

She used to be a porter, and even after working hard for a month or two, she might not earn even ten or twenty taels.

Tang Buyi asked with a smile: "How about it, is my method good?"

Gu Chudong gave a thumbs up and said, "How generous!"

"By the way, Brother Gu," Tang Buyi suddenly said, "it's just right that you're back today. I want to discuss something with you. Are you interested in signing up with my escort agency? With your reputation as the Gu hero, I'm sure I'll get a great deal. How about giving you 50% of the escort agency's profits? Don't worry, I'll pay for my friendship separately and won't use a single cent from the escort agency."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, how much did you spend on the escort agency?"

"Sixty thousand taels!"

"Are you going to give me thirty thousand taels for nothing?"

"Isn't Brother Gu's reputation worth thirty thousand taels?"

"It's definitely not worth it."

“But in the future, there will be more!”

"..."

Gu Mo naturally would not accept the half of the escort agency given by Tang Buyi.

However, he did understand why Tang Tianhao had planned such a route for Tang Buyi.

For the Tang family today, making money is actually not the main direction. It is time to pursue reputation in the martial arts world. Being able to buy a reputation in the martial arts world with money can bring huge intangible benefits to the Tang family. With Tang Buyi's style of doing things and the help of the Tang family behind him, it is really possible for him to make a name for himself in this field.

Subsequently,

Several people entered the house, and Gu Mo checked Qu Heng's injuries and estimated that he would be able to recover in three to two months. It was not serious, but he could not fight for a short time.

After having a meal at the Qu family and briefly chatting about their experiences in Qingyang County, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong left.

……

Linjiang City has become lively.

Changfeng Escort Agency is the oldest escort agency in Linjiang City. It has been in turmoil recently. There was a robbery case, the father and son of the Yang family ran away with the money, and now the ownership has changed, which caused quite a stir in Linjiang City.

At the same time, Lingyun Villa was confiscated by the government.
However, they came to nothing. Several core members of the Mo family, including the young master Mo Budao, ran away with the money just like the father and son of the Yang family. However, the Mo family was in more trouble than the father and son of the Yang family because the lie of the Blood and Tears Pill collapsed. Many people lost their fortunes and were hunting down Mo Budao everywhere.

However, these things are not a big deal.
The most sensational case in the world today is of course the cat demon case.

The cat demon case alone would not have such an impact, but the four great sect leaders and the Four Directions Sword Sect involved in the cat demon case had a huge impact, especially when the bloody events secretly happening in the Divine Cat Temple were exposed, the Four Directions Sword Sect instantly became an evil sect that everyone hated.

In an instant, the ever-popular Sifang Sword Sect collapsed.

Disciples of the four sects all announced their withdrawal from the Four Directions Sword Sect, and many high-ranking members of the Four Directions Sword Sect were hunted down by the government and the righteous underworld.

Once the Four Directions Sword Sect falls, it means that the entire Qingyang County martial arts world will be in turmoil, and various sects will fight for territory, fame, and the martial arts business involved in the Four Directions Sword Sect.

Gu Mo's name became famous in Yunzhou again with this incident, and its influence was even greater than that of the last Silver Fox case. In the last Silver Fox case, most of the attention in the martial arts world was on Zhuo Qingfeng, and this time, it was still the pair of "friends of life and death" who were rumored to be in the martial arts world, but the focus of the martial arts world turned to Gu Mo.

Fujisanzhuang is bustling with activity.

Many people came to visit Gu Mo, but they could only find Buer Villa. There were also many underworld forces seeking cooperation. For a time, Buer Villa was very popular and seemed to be on the verge of surpassing those old-fashioned Zhuifeng Towers.

but,

Gu Mo didn't pay much attention to these things.

He has been busy helping Gu Chudong practice Mingyu Gong during this period.

Mingyu Gong is a peerless magical skill. It is very difficult to master and requires the practitioner to open up all the meridians.

Fortunately, Gu Mo has reached the highest level of Mingyu Gong, so he can open a back door for Gu Chudong and use his Mingyu internal force to help Gu Chudong open up the meridians and get started quickly.

But even if she took a shortcut, it would still take Gu Chudong a lot of time to transform the original Xuanxu internal force in her body into Mingyu internal force.

Therefore,
Gu Mo is very busy these days, and Gu Chudong is even busier.

Therefore, the news they learned about the outside world mainly came from Tang Buzhi and Yan Sanniang.

Yan Sanniang is too busy and can only come here occasionally.
But Tang Buyi went to the Gu family compound almost every day to share all kinds of gossip he learned. At the same time, he also served as free labor to help Gu Chudong collect the medicinal materials needed for cultivation.

It was mid-October.
Gu Chudong finally completed the first level of Mingyu Gong, White Jade Frost Sky, on this day, and broke through to the second level, Red Jade Setting Sun.
