Chapter 91.2 : The News. (Part 2)
"Could it be that this Su Mo has one of those old-school 'tragic protagonist' templates…?"
Chu Ge muttered with a strange expression on his face.
Although Su Mo had shouted things like "I won't repeat my past mistakes" and "I will definitely make up for all my regrets," judging solely from this opening, it hardly looked like a future that would go smoothly.
'Once Master comes out of seclusion, I should go out and take a look myself…'
Even though Su Mo seemed to be entangled with countless problems for the time being and unable to make any major moves, Chu Ge had no intention of letting the matter drag on for too long. On the contrary, he planned to take action as early as possible.
After all, all of the above was merely his own speculation.
For all he knew, Su Mo might suddenly experience a massive outburst of growth, directly crushing all the monsters and demons in his way, soaring straight into the heavens from that point on.
The luck of a Child of Fortune was never something that could be predicted with certainty…
Taking out the communication jade he had used before, Chu Ge thought for a moment and then input the message:
"Investigate the current situation of the Su Family in Wangjian City, as well as all information related to Su Mo and those connected to him.
Also, look into the name Qian Qiuyue. Once everything is clear, bring the intel to Taihuang Hall and report to me in person."
As spiritual power was infused into it, the message was transmitted.
Naturally, Chu Ge had no intention of personally handling such matters. Since he had subordinates he could command, there was no reason to waste that resource.
At the same time, if this matter was handled to his satisfaction, he also planned to try cultivating this Dantai Lan a bit—making some investment in him.
After all, if you want a horse to run, a few cracks of the whip aren't enough; you still have to feed it grass.
Meanwhile, far away in the Inner Sect, Dantai Lan sensed movement from the transmission jade he carried on him and quickly took it out.
As the message flowed into his mind, his face immediately turned grim.
It wasn't that he had any objections to what Chu Ge had instructed.
Rather, it was because—having someone like him, a minor figure, handle this kind of matter was honestly far too difficult.
If it were something within the Inner Sect, it would be manageable. He also had manpower under him; previously, he had kept a very close watch on Ye Chen. But this Wangjian City…
If he remembered correctly, that was one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.
He didn't possess such heaven-defying means to stretch his hand into the outside world.
Don't let his status in the Inner Sect fool anyone—back in the Dantai family, his position was merely so-so. Although he was from the direct line and counted as part of the core circle, he was only a peripheral figure within it.
He simply couldn't compare to those highly valued prodigies of the clan.
There was no choice about it. For the task Chu Ge had given him, he had the will—but not the power.
But that was fine. The person behind him did have this capability.
Time to call for backup.
Carefully, he took out another transmission jade from his person.
Dantai Lan swallowed nervously.
There was no helping it—although in terms of relationship, the other party was his aunt, she had never been a kind or approachable elder.
Her temperament was erratic and her methods ruthless to such an extent that there were scarcely a few people in the entire clan who did not tremble in fear of her.
Even if his own father were present, he would still have to put on a smiling face in front of her.
After all, she was the greatest pillar upon which the Dantai family relied to survive.
Compared to her, even the few remaining old ancestors of the clan—who truly ranked higher and who ranked lower between them was still an open question.
After carefully weighing his words and making sure there were no problems, Dantai Lan finally dared to send the message over.
"Ancestor Jinglian, a message has just come from Disciple Chu…"
After conveying the information in an orderly manner, Dantai Lan waited with utmost seriousness.
