Chapter 107: The Rumor About the Swordsman
At a street-side stall, two bowls of mutton soup noodles with added meat were served, with the two seated opposite each other.
The Daoist had brought an extra bowl and placed it on the nearby stool, where a calico cat was crouching on.
Heroine Wu slurped the soup noodle and said, “Ah… Though we of the Xishan Sect are based in Yizhou, we're still a major sect in the jianghu, so we have some connections in Changjing. When I first arrived, I used the connections of an old friend of my master to get a job with the Yongning Escort Agency.
“But it was tough work, and I felt it had no future. I worked there for about a year, and last summer and fall, I happened to meet a benefactor. Now I’m working for that benefactor, and I’m thinking that I might be on my way to success.”
Song You asked, “Didn't you say you had no acquaintances in Changjing?”
“That was my master’s acquaintance, not mine originally. But he’s quite loyal and has helped me a lot. Without him, I might not have managed to gain a foothold in Changjing at the beginning and be where I am now.”
She shook her head. “It’s a pity that just as I was preparing to repay him and bring him to work for the benefactor, he passed away. Sigh… At his age, he still chased after wealth and treasures like the others, it’s really…”
“So, you’re like a retainer?”
“Close enough.”
