### Chapter 72: The Gift

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun did not want to accept the gesture and moved apart.

Seeing this, Wei Ziyi did not insist and stood up again, smiling.

This young lady was tall and held a folding fan, dressed in the attire of Jade Willow Villa, giving her an air of refined elegance.

Su Mo looked at her and sighed, "This is yet another flaw."

Earlier, the three of them had joined forces to investigate Pinjian Tower, killed a few patrolling disciples, and changed into their clothes.

'Luo Zhen' had used the Bone Shrinking Skill to artificially increase his height by a foot, which seemed almost miraculous to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

But now it was clear that this was not an increase in height at all.

It was simply Wei Ziyi reversing the Bone Shrinking Skill and returning to her original height.

At the time, no one knew 'Luo Zhen' was an impostor, so who could have thought of this?

When Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were investigating the perimeter of Jade Willow Villa, Su Mo had mockingly called himself "slow-witted," partly because of this realization.

"Haha."

Wei Ziyi smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Chief Su. Although the Bone Shrinking Skill can be used in reverse, stretching one's body by a foot is excruciatingly painful. I've always been afraid of pain and couldn't endure it."

"So, the Youquan Cult's setup around Jade Willow Villa was removed by the Fallen Phoenix Alliance?"

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Wei Ziyi.

Wei Ziyi shook her head slightly, "Not the Fallen Phoenix Alliance, but my Wei family members."

"Your Wei family members..."

Su Mo pondered these words, finding them intriguing.

Below the Fallen Phoenix Alliance, who would forego their identity and only mention 'Wei family members'?

Yang Xiaoyun also pondered, then looked back at Wei Ziyi, "May I ask why Miss Wei went through such lengths to bring us here?"

"Cooperation."

Yang Xiaoyun's question did not surprise Wei Ziyi, but Wei Ziyi's answer surprised Yang Xiaoyun.

"Cooperation?"

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo sighed, "Miss Wei must be desperate. Not to mention that Ziyang Escort Agency is obscure, and I am merely a nobody. Even if Yang Xiaoyun is the deputy chief of Iron Blood Escort Agency, what could she possibly offer?"

"Chief Su is too modest."

Wei Ziyi laughed, "Even though Chief Su is currently unknown, after this incident, your name will certainly rise to prominence."

"As for... Deputy Chief Yang of Iron Blood Escort Agency...

"Just hearing that name makes me want to cooperate. Unfortunately, I don't have anything substantial to offer Deputy Chief Yang."

Yang Xiaoyun looked Wei Ziyi in the eye, "So, Miss Wei has something to offer Chief Su?"

Wei Ziyi glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, then at Su Mo.

She remained silent.

Yang Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Mo, who laughed, "Miss Wei, please speak freely."

"Very well."

Wei Ziyi nodded lightly, "In Sunset City, in the narrow alleys, Chief Su was assassinated. Given Chief Su's intelligence, you wouldn't think Wu Chenfeng was behind it."

"It's hard to say."

Su Mo sighed, "Even if it wasn't Wu Chenfeng, it could be Wu Daoyou paving the way for his son, or even Miss Wei, to make Wu Daoyou lose any chance with Iron Blood Escort Agency."

"Hahaha."

Wei Ziyi laughed, "For Chief Su to say that, you understand that if Wu Daoyou did it, he would be destroying his own foundation. Though I've heard that Iron Blood Dragon Spear Yang Yizhi is unhappy with you as his future son-in-law and might be allowing Wu Chenfeng to harass Deputy Chief Yang."

"That's not true!"

Yang Xiaoyun interrupted her.

Wei Ziyi paused, then smiled, "Alright, let's assume that Chief Yang really dislikes Chief Su. But considering the past friendship between our families, allowing someone else to kill the son of a sworn brother... That would ruin the reputation of Iron Blood Dragon Spear."

"We won't consider personal feelings; just from an interest perspective, Chief Yang isn't that foolish."

"Wu Daoyou wants to work with Chief Yang, but this would put him in an unjust position."

With that, Wei Ziyi looked at Su Mo, "Is this answer satisfactory, Chief Su?"

"Acceptable."

Su Mo nodded.

"Good."

Wei Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "As you know, this involves internal strife within the Fallen Phoenix Alliance. I, unfortunately, have been drawn into it.

"Here, I won't talk about accidentally harming the innocent, which I don't approve of. I just want to say one thing..."

"Regarding this matter, I can help you investigate. Consider it the beginning of our cooperation..."

"Oh?"

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ziyi. "So, Miss Wei intends to easily extricate herself from this matter?"

"How dare I."

Wei Ziyi shook her head. "Among the eight leaders of the Fallen Phoenix Alliance, apart from Wu Daoyou, even my grandfather would find it hard to escape responsibility for this. How could I be so naive as to think otherwise?"

"However, to prove my innocence, I have prepared a small gift for Chief Su."

"What kind of gift?"

"Autumn Rain Pursues the Soul Night Meteor..."

Wei Ziyi snapped open her folding fan. "Meteor Sword, Zhan Ming!"

The Sword Envoy of Qijue Hall followed someone else's instructions to obtain Su Mo's itinerary and attempted to hijack his escort.

The person who informed the Sword Envoy about this was none other than the renowned expert under the Great Lord of Heavenly Feather City, Meteor Sword Zhan Ming!

"It seems nothing can be hidden from Miss Wei."

Su Mo gave Wei Ziyi a thoughtful look.

Wei Ziyi calmly stated, "The secrets of the Fallen Phoenix Alliance are not really secrets."

Su Mo wholeheartedly believed this.

Although Qijue Hall operates independently between sects and gangs without involving itself in gang disputes and has no entanglements with the Fallen Phoenix Alliance,

if the Fallen Phoenix Alliance were to let Qijue Hall develop unchecked, that would be impossible.

There are countless spies, both overt and covert, within their ranks. If they truly want to know something, it is quite easy.

Wei Ziyi continued, "Chief Su might not know that after the Sword Envoy was killed by your hand on the road that night, the next day, the Autumn Rain Pursues the Soul Night Meteor disappeared from Heavenly Feather City. Lord Flower was furious and searched extensively but found nothing.

"Ultimately, this person ended up in my hands.

"After Chief Su returns to Sunset City this time, I will personally hand this person over to you."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Apart from us, how many others know about this?"

"...Everyone knows."

Wei Ziyi smiled rather subtly.
