"Use this as a warning to future generations."

"This..."

Su Mo stroked his chin and said, "Then I better practice my calligraphy well."

Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but chuckle, as Su Mo's handwriting was indeed somewhat illegible.

But after laughing, Yang Xiaoyun sighed:

"This phrase is not only meant to warn future generations, you and me, but also everyone in the escort agency.

"If everyone can truly do this, even if Baihu City tries to plot against us with such means, it will ultimately be futile."

"Therefore, the rules in the escort agency must be even stricter."

Su Mo said: "Before we became the first in Donghuang, we could let things slide. However, the stronger we become, the less we can indulge our disciples.

"Otherwise, there will surely be future troubles.

"As for Baihu City, as long as I'm around, they wouldn't dare act recklessly.

"If future generations produce immoral people, even if not slaughtered by Baihu City,

"they would die by someone else's hands. On the contrary, having such a warning allows one to remain vigilant in times of peace."

Yang Xiaoyun immediately nodded in agreement, yet couldn't help but smile:

"However, I originally thought you just wanted to take advantage of the situation, but I didn't expect there was this level of consideration."

Su Mo bitterly smiled at her words:

"Sister Xiaoyun, don't overestimate me. Honestly, I don't know how to deal with Baihu City either.

"With the High Priest's sinister intentions, killing her is only fair and just.

"But if I kill her, can I really, as she said, return the Holy Artifact?

"If I kill them, I can't leave any witnesses at Tiger Lord Hall today.

"Yet even so, what happened at Tiger Lord Hall is bound to become known.

"After all, the appearance of the White Tiger before people, combined with my actions, would inevitably connect the two.

"At that time, it would be said that we killed the High Priest and Chief Steward to steal their White Tiger from the White Tiger Clan...

"If that happens, even with countless mouths we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves.

"Unless we reveal the matter of the Emperor Heart Technique to divert attention.

"But we both know what the Emperor Heart Technique truly is.

"If this skill appears in Jianghu, it will undoubtedly cause major harm.

"Not to mention the potential disputes it might incite, even if it's ultimately claimed by one faction, having this Divine Skill would inevitably give rise to ambitions of seizing power.

"And if I control this skill, Ziyang Escort Agency will never have peace.

"Therefore, that method is absolutely unacceptable.

"To avoid being labeled with such a crime, there's only one way...

"Just as the High Priest suggested, to completely wipe out the entire White Tiger Clan!"

But once the White Tiger Clan is annihilated, it becomes exactly as the High Priest said.

The top master of Donghuang, driven by nameless fury, wiped out a clan with a thousand-year legacy.

No matter if anyone investigates the truth, Su Mo's reputation will inevitably be tainted with the words 'bloodthirsty'.

Even though Su Mo never cared about his so-called reputation.

But Ziyang Escort Agency cannot ignore it.

He's running a business, even if the High Priest plotted evilly, even if the Chief Steward truly intended to rob the escort.

Killing the High Priest or killing the Chief Steward,

even killing all the Chief Steward's men under his command, would still be justified.

Though it might be excessive, it's understandable.

But... what about the ordinary disciples of the White Tiger Clan?

They might not even know what the High Priest and Chief Steward have done.

So, regarding this matter and those two's disposition, Su Mo must make a choice.

If he kills, he must kill thoroughly, but thorough killing will implicate the innocent.

But if he lets them off easily, how could Su Mo be willing?

To suffer losses without retaliating has never been Su Mo's nature.

Rather than causing a huge mess, it's better to use this opportunity to gain some benefit.

As for the remaining loose ends, they can serve as a mirror for future Su descendants to reflect upon themselves.

In the long run, the existence of Baihu City might actually benefit Ziyang Escort Agency.

After Yang Xiaoyun listened, she suddenly asked:

"Now that the White Tiger is in our hands, it'll inevitably appear in Jianghu.

"What do you think Baihu City will say about this?"

"Who can tell..."

Su Mo smiled, "But they likely only have the same old trick, probably using Tiger Lord as an excuse. But as to why it chose me as its master... rather than staying in their Baihu City, that's open to interpretation."

Engaged in lively chat, they finally arrived at their destination.

Deep into the night, entering the city with the White Tiger didn't cause much reaction.

However, it nearly scared the inn's waiter to death.

Listening to Su Mo explaining that the tiger doesn't eat people, while staring at the blood on the White Tiger's mouth, the waiter's head kept nodding and shaking, unsure whether he was agreeing or disagreeing.

In the end, Su Mo had to personally lead the White Tiger to the stable with the waiter.

Even though the White Tiger restrained its might, it frightened the horses in the stable into collectively losing control of their bowels.

The stench was unbearable.

The waiter was full of fear:

"Sir... this fierce tiger, its presence is overwhelming. If it's kept in the stable overnight, even if it doesn't scare these horses to death, they'll surely fall ill by morning...

"What... what should we do?"

Helplessly, Su Mo had to rent a private courtyard for the White Tiger to rest.

Su Mo watched as the White Tiger sniffed around the courtyard, commenting to Yang Xiaoyun:

"See, I've miscalculated after all... Originally, each of us could have had our own room at the inn.

"But now, because of this big guy, we have to rent a whole courtyard.

"A night's expense has increased considerably, over the year, it's quite an expense...

"Money is never sufficient."

The commotion even disturbed Zhen Xiaoxiao from her sleep.

Seeing such a large tiger, her small eyes gleamed with excitement.

She gazed up and down, and finally turned to Su Mo, swallowing hard:

"Master, Second Master, you two are truly as vast as the sky and as deep as the sea for me.

"Knowing I've never tasted tiger meat, you brought back such a big tiger...

"Such a large tiger, I can't finish it in one meal... it would last several meals at least!"
