Capítulo 783: Chapter 328 Great Hall Order_3
The second objective is this sword.
All the benefits inside the Endless Prison have been taken by Su Mo, and none of those present dare to complain about this.
Who should possess the only remaining sword?
Wan Yutang could have directly handed the sword to Wan Cangxin, but even if people verbally comply, they inevitably harbor some reservations in their hearts.
Therefore, Wan Yutang simply decided to give the sword to Su Mo.
If this number one figure of Donghuang accepted it, everyone else would lower their banners and cease to covet it.
And since Su Mo and Wan Cangxin have been close friends through life and death, who else would dare to covet it if he firmly offered the sword to Wan Cangxin?
Naturally, no one would dare to.
Thus, the ownership of the sword is truly deserved.
In doing so, the relationship between Su Mo and Wan Cangxin was laid bare before everyone.
When Wan Cangxin succeeds to power in the future, with this number one person of Donghuang as a close friend, it will undoubtedly be smoother.
From this incident alone, one can see that this former Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall is far from ordinary.
He lacks neither shrewdness nor cunning.
The only pity is that he placed his trust in a treacherous person.
Eventually, he was betrayed and trapped in the Endless Prison, resulting in twenty years of tormented existence, worse than death.
Upon hearing both Su Mo and Wan Yutang asking Wan Cangxin to accept the sword, the other Hall Masters also spoke up, and Wan Cangxin had no choice but to take the sword.
At this time, Wan Yutang spoke again:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, has shown immense kindness to me and to Wusheng Hall.
“Today, here, there is another matter for which I would like to seek everyone’s opinion.”
The Hall Masters looked at each other, and Li Zhongming said with a smile:
“What are you saying, Great Hall Master? You are the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall; we will naturally follow whatever decisions you make.”
Wan Yutang sighed:
“When I ascended to the position of Great Hall Master, I had not yet made any achievements before I fell victim to a conspiracy.
“Now that I have escaped the calamity, how could the Yu Family act arbitrarily?
“Of course, I must discuss things more with everyone…
“What I want to talk about now is how to repay Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“In this campaign, he has indeed eradicated a malignant tumor for Wusheng Hall.
“I intended to bestow the Sword Path as a token of my boundless gratitude, but Lord Su declined with high integrity.
“So… I want to give the Great Hall Order to Lord Su. I wonder what you all think about that?”
“The Great Hall Order?”
Everyone was momentarily stunned, but then nodded in unison: “It should be so.”
The so-called Great Hall Order is the shorthand for the edict from the Great Hall Master.
Holding this token is as good as seeing the Great Hall Master in person.
Since the founding of Wusheng Hall, the Great Hall Order has only been used when conducting internal affairs and must be returned promptly after use.
Giving it to an outsider is unprecedented.
But giving it to Su Mo, everyone was actually convinced.
Not to mention that Su Mo’s reputation as the top expert of Donghuang could benefit from holding the Great Hall Order and maintain a particularly favorable relationship with Wusheng Hall.
Considering that Su Mo rescued Wan Yutang and eradicated a tumor that had plagued Wusheng Hall for twenty years, the bestowal of the Great Hall Order was only natural.
However, Su Mo grinded his teeth in frustration upon hearing this.
What’s with suddenly receiving another token?
From now on, instead of being known as the top expert of Donghuang or the Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency, should he simply go by ‘Collector of Tokens’?
He couldn’t help but humbly decline:
“This shouldn’t be… it really shouldn’t.”
But Wan Yutang just laughed heartily:
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, please do not refuse.”
Subsequently, he requested Wan Cangxin to step back into an inner chamber, and not long after, produced a token.
The exact metal that crafted this token was unknown, but it appeared genuinely heavy.
Wan Cangxin held up the token with both hands and presented it to Su Mo.
Su Mo sighed. As soon as he took the token, he felt indeed it was heavier than any other token he had.
Without choice, he said:
“How can I accept this?”
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, you may not be aware,” said Wan Yutang. “Since the establishment of Wusheng Hall, there have only ever been two Great Hall Orders.
“One enshrined in our ancestral hall, the other passed down through generations in the hands of the Great Hall Masters.
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, has shown us kindness deeper than the sea and higher than the sky.
“Now bestowing you with this Great Hall Order is merely a token of appreciation.
“Holding this order, as long as it is within the territory of Wusheng Hall, any command you give will not be defied by any Hall Master.
“Please, Lord Su, you must accept it.”
He finished speaking and forced himself to his feet, bowing deeply in respect.
Seeing this, the other Hall Masters also stood up:
“Please, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, accept it.”
“Please, everyone, don’t be like this…”
Su Mo waved his hands hurriedly: “Enough, enough. Since it’s come to this, I, Su, will shamelessly accept this order, and thank Master Wan for your kind intentions.”
He took the token into his embrace, already pondering whether he should get a small bag to carry all these tokens.
Moreover, carrying this thing was really quite burdensome; wherever he went with it, he felt encumbered.
Could it be that in the future, when traveling across Jianghu, he’d have to have someone specifically to carry tokens?
He had heard of Taoist priests with sword-carrying disciples…
In the future, was he going to need a token-carrying disciple?
Traveling to a place, first check if he had a token for that land’s jurisdiction?
Su Mo’s mind wandered for a moment but then he remembered another matter and said:
“There’s actually something I need to inform everyone about.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Su Mo.
Su Mo then recounted the events regarding Hu Sandao from years past.
After listening, everyone’s expression changed dramatically.
Xiao Feng, in particular, turned pale:
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort… what you’re saying… could it be… my father?”
Su Mo sighed:
“This matter should really have been brought to Hall Master Xiao’s attention, but at the time, the identity of the person imprisoned in the Endless Prison had yet to be confirmed.
“I dared not speak carelessly.
“Now that the Great Hall Master has escaped from the calamity, that person’s identity is self-evident.
“For any concealment, I ask Hall Master Xiao for your forgiveness.”
