Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 44 Branch Office, Recruiting Escorts

On the wilderness.

Hearing Ling Shuo's words, Su Qingyan looked at Chu Sheng with a mixture of belief and doubt, "Master Chu, you're not a swordsman? You're also skilled in swordsmanship?"

Chu Sheng said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I only know a little bit."

"If Miss Su wants to learn swordsmanship, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the most suitable place for her."

Su Qingyan said, "Master Chu misunderstands. I went to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect not to become a disciple, but to spar."

Chu Sheng was taken aback. "Since it's a sparring match, Miss Su's swordsmanship should be very strong. Why did you ask me to escort her instead of going by herself?"

"I originally planned to go by myself, but the Master insisted that you escort me," Su Qingyan said, pausing before continuing, "Actually, what you're escorting isn't me, but the sword on my back."

Chu Sheng had already noticed that Su Qingyan was carrying a sword wrapped in white cloth, but he didn't know what it was. Hearing her say this, Chu Sheng instantly realized that this sword must be something special.

"Does Master Chu know about the number one sword in Dongzhou?"

"The Heavenly Sword?"

"That's right!" Su Qingyan nodded. "I'm going to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to spar, and I'll be sparring with some other people afterward. If Master Chu is a sword cultivator, we can spar sometime."

Chu Sheng laughed and said, "Let's skip the sparring. I haven't been practicing swordsmanship for long, but my strength is above yours. Miss Su is definitely no match for me."

Su Qingyan said, "We can compete only in swordsmanship, not in internal strength."

"Master Chu's swordsmanship is unparalleled, so his swordsmanship should not be too weak either."

She believed Ling Shuo's words more. If she could spar with Chu Sheng, perhaps she could gain a new understanding of swordsmanship.

"Let's talk about it another day!"

Chu Sheng had no interest in sparring. His swordsmanship had reached its peak, achieving a state where no moves were better than moves. Sparring with Su Qingyan, a peak ninth-rank swordsman, could no longer be considered a lower-dimensional attack.

It was utterly cruel and merciless; no, it was complete humiliation.

It would be bad if Su Qingyan accidentally shattered his Dao heart.

The main reason is that he is used to being low-key and doesn't like to show off.

Along the way.

Apart from the deceased Xiao Ming, no other martial arts practitioners appeared.

They soon approached Zhenyue City.

Inside the city.

Upon receiving the news of Chu Sheng's return, Li Wuji immediately left the pass and waited at the city gate.

We dare not be negligent in the slightest.

The Prince of Kaoshan appeared at the city gate, leading his troops to wait. The people in the city were curious about who had such a high status that the prince would personally come out of the city to greet them.

On the wilderness, Chu Sheng and his party appeared on horseback. Suddenly, they saw Li Wuji and others at the city gate. Chu Sheng smiled and thought, "King Kao Shan is too polite."

They've caused such a big commotion.

Gu Jingchen and Nie Kuang, unaware of the situation, both showed wary expressions upon seeing the army at the city gate. "Young Master, something's not right."

"Old Gu, don't worry, we're all on the same side."

As soon as Chu Sheng finished speaking, Li Wuji strode forward, greeting him with a smile, "Young Master is back."

"King Kao Shan doesn't need to do that."

"It's all as it should be. Without Young Master, the Battle of Zhenyue City would not have been won." Li Wuji said in a deep voice, a beam of light sweeping over Gu Jingchen and Nie Kuang. "Young Master and the others..."

""

"Gu Jingchen, Elder Gu."

"Mad Blade, Nie Kuang."

"They are all from the security escort agency."

Li Wuji was extremely shocked and horrified. He never expected that Chu Sheng's trip to the Human Academy would actually allow him to recruit two such powerful members for the escort agency.

Indeed, a hero's journey is never in vain.

"How's it going with the task I assigned you?"

"Everything is ready. We're just waiting for your return, young master, and we can open for business immediately," Li Wuji said confidently.

After the great battle ended, he devoted himself to cultivation and preparations for the Zhenyuan Escort Agency branch. He didn't even let his many adopted sons and Wei Jing get involved, handling everything personally.

We strive to ensure that Chu Sheng is absolutely satisfied.

"Young master, our escort agency hasn't even opened yet, but we've already taken on quite a few jobs."

Chu Sheng laughed and said, "Alright, let's enter the city!"

As Su Qingyan watched Prince Kao Shan enter the city alongside Chu Sheng, she frowned slightly and looked at Li Anlan. "Miss Li, why is Prince Kao Shan being so polite to Master Chu?"

"Because Uncle Wang... is also a member of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!" Li Anlan said calmly.

Su Qingyan: "?" Uncle Wang? You are a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"That's right."

Su Qingyan recalled the scene of Li Anlan taking care of Chu Sheng along the way. How could a princess of a country be serving him? Who would believe that Chu Sheng was just an ordinary chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort)?

She became increasingly curious about Chu Sheng.

I thought my senior brothers in the Human Academy were the pride of the Eastern Continent, but after meeting Chu Sheng, I realized that, in comparison, my senior brothers who were once admired were actually terribly weak.

They were older than Chu Sheng, yet none of them could compare to him.

Young girls are all attracted to strength, and after spending some time with Chu Sheng, Su Qingyan could no longer see any other men.

Of course, Chu Sheng was unaware of Su Qingyan's feelings for him. After following the Prince of Kaoshan into the city, he arrived at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency branch, which was the best location in the center of Zhenyue City.

The size of this mansion is comparable to that of a royal palace. It is said to be the residence of a wealthy and powerful family that has been passed down for centuries, and now it has been given the name of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Because of Li Wuji's endorsement, many people in the city came to Zhenyuan Escort Agency wanting them to escort their goods.

They had already received hundreds of orders before even opening for business.

Chu Sheng was not surprised at all.

The celebrity effect is effective in any era, and Li Wuji's status in the hearts of the people of Zhenyue City is almost like that of a god.

He knew that when the store opened, business would be even more booming than it was now.

"Young master, are you satisfied?"

"You did a great job!" Chu Sheng was very satisfied.

It is clear that Li Wuji put a lot of thought into it and did not do it perfunctorily.

"Young master, the escort agency has too much business. Shouldn't we recruit some escorts?"

"If needed, I can post notices throughout the city and personally recruit bodyguards for the escort agency."

Chu Sheng looked at the pile of documents on his desk. These were all the goods to be escorted. He certainly couldn't deliver them all by himself, so recruiting bodyguards was imperative.

"Ling Shuo, Nie Kuang, you two take care of recruiting bodyguards!"

"How many people does the young master intend to recruit?"

"Let's recruit two hundred people first!"

Chu Sheng raised his hand and handed the 50,000 silver notes he had obtained from Xiao Ming to Nie Kuang, saying, "Take these silver notes and use them first. If you need more, come back to me."

Li Wuji said, "Wei Jing, bring the silver up."

"Young master, these people have all paid in advance for escorting the goods."

Chu Sheng: "?" If Li Wuji didn't have a powerful backer, he would definitely be a good businessman.

"You two take the silver with you. Remember, when recruiting bodyguards, strength is secondary, character is primary."

Nie Kuang and Ling Shuo accepted the order and left.

Li Wuji seemed to have thought of something. "Young Master, after the branch office matters are settled, are you going to return to Chang'an City?"

"That's right!"

"We'll go back together then, and I'll request a reward for the young master."

"Forget about the reward; helping you was just a small favor!"
