The Far Ink Professional Organization couldn’t be considered as leaders of anything but they enjoyed a good reputation in Jiangnan and Jiangxi . They were big shots and had a great reputation . They had never stolen anything from anyone . It was something very important to people, especially in times of crisis .
People who were familiar with the Far Ink Professional Organization knew that they specialized in armed escorts . Even though the leader was well-known, they were even more famous because of his daughter, Mo Ruyan .
Even though she was a woman, Mo Ruyan was famous . She had more fame than her father . Two years before, she had started working in the industry . Any time there were problems, she handled the situation without any trouble . If someone wanted Mo Ruyan as an armed escort, the price was very high .
Lin’An County was a hundred li away from Qingjiang Prefecture but Mu Yi and Big Slave arrived there by the afternoon . It had been quite fast because it was a public road . They would have taken longer if not . Of course, to get there even faster, they could have rode swift horses .
Mu Yi didn’t know how to ride a horse and Big Slave couldn’t because he was too heavy . If they had headed straight to Luoyang, they would have needed a lot more time . Mu Yi didn’t want to waste time, so he decided to hire an armed escort .
The wagon stopped at the gate of the Far Ink Professional Organization . Mu Yi got down and looked at the building . In front of the gate, there was a public field . Even though there weren’t many people, there were many wagons . Some men were making weapons and shouting .
At the gate, there was a huge flag . On it was written Far Ink Professional Organization in gold letters . It was done in beautiful calligraphy . On both sides of the gate, there were two gigantic, imposing, and awe-inspiring stone lions .
Some people came over to take Mu Yi’s wagon . They did business in a lot of places so they tried to welcome their clients properly . When they saw Mu Yi’s wagon, they thought he was wealthy and high-ranking . They liked such clients . Therefore, when Mu Yi got down from the wagon, a 40-year old man also came to greet him .

“Master, do you require the services of the Far Ink Professional Organization?” asked the man enthusiastically .
He didn’t sound arrogant and he didn’t look strong . Mu Yi looked young so some of the people were surprised when they saw him . However, the middle-aged man didn’t even blink or look surprised when he saw Mu Yi . He didn’t look surprised until Big Slave got down from the wagon . His facial expression changed . He didn’t look scared just confused .
“Indeed,” said Mu Yi .
“Master, please come with me . Welcome,” said the middle-aged man .
He took Mu Yi inside . They walked through a courtyard . There were many tall, strong and sturdy men there . They were exchanging opinions on various topics .
The Far Ink Professional Organization had other spaces, but practicing their military skills in the courtyard was part of their method . The leader could come and see them that way . It forced them to do their best .
Even though Mu Yi looked young, he was well-traveled and he understood the groups’ methods . He didn’t mind . It was a part of their business strategy . Plus, they had a good reputation .

When they arrived in a room, Mu Yi noticed that the middle-aged man made some gestures . Mu Yi acted as if he hadn’t seen anything . Big Slave was walking behind him . Even though many people looked at him, he didn’t care . He only paid attention to his backpack .
They arrived in a vestibule and Mu Yi sat down . Some people brought tea .
The middle-aged man asked, “So, what do you need, Master?”
“People . He and I want to travel from Qingjiang Prefecture to Luoyang,” said Mu Yi pointing at Big Slave .
“You want to go to Luoyang?” asked the middle-aged man curiously .
“What’s wrong? Do you need any more information from the people who require your services?” asked Mu Yi impolitely .
The atmosphere became a bit tense .

“No, no . I just thought it was a strange coincidence is all,” said the middle-aged man .
“A coincidence?” said Mu Yi .
“Indeed . Master, did you see the merchandise outside? They’re going to Luoyang,” explained the middle-aged man .
Mu Yi understood why the man was surprised now . It was indeed a rather odd coincidence . Mu Yi didn’t think the man was lying because nobody knew anything about him here so what would be the point in lying .
“I have only one request . I want the fastest and safest method to get to Luoyang,” said Mu Yi straightforwardly .
“Safety is not a problem . We’ve been to Luoyang many times . The road is safe . We don’t have any staff left . They’re all assigned already . However, if you wish, you can leave with the cargo, and we’ll offer you a good price,” said the middle-aged man .
Public transport wasn’t a good way to make money . Transporting goods was the best way to make money . The professional organization couldn’t put aside a whole part of the business though . If Mu Yi agreed, that would be best . He would be able to kill two birds with one stone .
“I’ve heard that you have a professional named Mo Ruyan?” said Mu Yi giving a noncommittal reply .
When the middle-aged man heard Mu Yi, he looked startled .
“You think I don’t have enough money?” said Mu Yi smiling .
He stared at the middle-aged man . Even though Mu Yi didn’t do anything, with one glance the middle-aged man felt pressured .
“Oh, what you mean is you want me as your armed escort, Master?” said someone with a pleasant voice .
A woman in black clothes entered the room . She was one of those women who tied their hair to the back and didn’t wear ornaments or anything . The kind that put on minimal makeup . Those kind of women were more beautiful .
She didn’t need to introduce herself . Mu Yi already knew who she was, Mo Ruyan, the best armed escort . When he saw her, he was a bit surprised, but just a little bit . He had seen many beautiful women in his life at this point, he was used to it .
Su Yingying, Peng Mi and her sister, Little Frost’s brigand chief all of those women were beautiful in their own way .
