The two who arrived were none other than Li Chong and Jiang Rou from Modu Tongmen.
Jiang Rou was still as beautiful, with a fiery figure.
Li Chong, burly and fierce-looking, had much of the malevolent aura on his face subdued.
Of course, with the two of them together, they still gave off the impression of a beauty and a beast.
In a way, they were Song Qiao's enemies.
Song Qiao had once broken the hand of their master.
Jiang Rou believed he had killed Tao Fan and sought revenge.
Li Chong had also visited the old Gao family residence a couple of days prior, only to be scared away by Song Qiao.
He himself was unwilling to have a conflict with Song Qiao.
Gao Meng found it strange, wondering what business the man had with the beautiful woman, bringing them to her master.
Song Qiao was also perplexed.
They were polite and their auras were calm, not seeming like they were there to cause trouble.
Looking at them, he calmly asked, "You came to see me, what is it about? Are you here to settle the score from before?"
Li Chong quickly denied it, "No, no, Mr. Song, we have come to pay our respects with this uninvited intrusion!"
Song Qiao showed a questioning look, "Oh, what is it you need from me?"
He glanced at the two, his gaze finally settling on Jiang Rou.
After all, with a beauty in front of him, why bother with the ugly man?
Perhaps sensing Song Qiao's intention, Jiang Rou stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Song Qiao once more, and then said, "Mr. Song, last time, I was thoroughly defeated. Moreover, our master was not killed by you, and we cannot dwell on this matter. We haven't thanked you yet for being magnanimous and letting us live."
Song Qiao nodded slightly, "Then what is it you're here for? I don't believe you're just here to see me casually!"
He then looked intently at Jiang Rou and Li Chong.
Beside him, Gao Meng blinked, looking at Jiang Rou, then at Li Chong, finding it amusing.
This pair would amuse others if seen.
She truly wondered what their master was thinking, finding such a contrasting pair of disciples.
Ultimately, her gaze fell on Jiang Rou.
She looked at Jiang Rou, then at herself, making a silent comparison.
One had to admit, Jiang Rou had a better figure, and significantly so.
She even doubted if the other person's movements were too exaggerated during martial arts practice, affecting their actions and causing more discomfort.
Of course, she didn't know, or perhaps didn't consider, the trick of chest binding.
Jiang Rou only performed the operation when necessary.
Though it slightly affected her breathing, it was manageable if she paid attention.
After her silent comparison, Gao Meng thought that she wasn't too bad either, at least above average, and she was still young, with at least two more opportunities for development.
One was through the help of a boyfriend, massage, etc., and the other was that she would grow larger after having children.
However, thinking about these things now seemed too far off.
Unknowingly, her face flushed.
When she came back to her senses, she found Li Chong speaking again, "After our master passed away, the family faced great difficulties. My senior sister and I alone cannot manage such a large undertaking. For us, the best solution is to find a new, powerful backer..."
The 'family' Li Chong referred to was actually their Tongmen, specifically their branch.
Song Qiao was even more curious why they would approach him.
"Your previous master... oh, Tao Yingcai, didn't he also have a master? Why not go to him?"
Tao Yingcai was the young master of Modu Tongmen.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Song Qiao mention Tao Yingcai, Li Chong wore a bitter smile. "Those not of our kind have different intentions. Previously, the young master only became a disciple to learn their martial arts. He couldn't possibly seek their aid, otherwise, our foundation here might be destroyed and swallowed by them."
So that was it.
At this moment, Jiang Rou, who had been standing by, also spoke, "Mr. Song, you must have noticed that I am severely injured. This injury will not heal anytime soon.
And Li Chong is not strong enough yet. He still has much to learn and needs time to grow.
However, the situation Modu Tongmen faces is not optimistic. Describing it as surrounded by enemies would not be an exaggeration. Time waits for no one, and circumstances are stronger than individuals. Therefore, we can only seek external help first."
As she spoke of these matters, a look of melancholy appeared on Jiang Rou's face.
Not long ago, the influence of Modu Tongmen was at its zenith. Yet, in such a short time, with the death of their master Tao Fan, they faced continuous suppression, internal instability, and now, they were truly in a precarious state.
If they didn't find a solution soon, she and her junior brother might lose their heads.
And the foundation of Modu Tongmen would be ruined.
After a pause, Jiang Rou continued, "Although we haven't interacted with you much, we understand you very well. We admire you greatly. Your martial arts, strength, and character are all worthy of respect. Therefore, we have come uninvited, hoping you can set aside past grievances and generously lend us a hand."
Li Chong bowed to Song Qiao again and said firmly, "Yes, we beg you to act. From now on, whatever you ask us to do, just command us. We will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
On his ugly face, there was a hint of solemnity.
Seeing it, it didn't seem unsightly, but rather somewhat endearing.
Song Qiao fell into thought.
These two had actual dealings, and they were willing to risk their lives for their master's revenge, which showed loyalty and righteousness.
At the same time, he had also learned of their character, and it was not bad. Taking them under his wing would be acceptable.
Moreover, this would give him more control over the forces of Modu Tongmen, making many things more convenient.
For instance, in the upcoming conflict with the Heshuishui team, they could provide some assistance.
This might allow for the annihilation mission to be completed more effectively.
It could be a good thing!
With these thoughts, he said lightly, "It's not impossible for me to agree."
Upon hearing Song Qiao's hint of concession, joy bloomed on Jiang Rou and Li Chong's faces.
They exchanged a look and bowed in unison to Song Qiao, "We implore Mr. Song to grant our wish!"
Song Qiao, however, smiled faintly again, "But why should I help you?"
The expressions of Jiang Rou and Li Chong changed.
However, they had clearly discussed this matter beforehand.
Jiang Rou nodded to Li Chong, then looked at Gao Meng, "Mr. Song, we are also very sympathetic to Miss Gao's plight. At the same time, we wish to step forward and help, but we lack a rightful cause.
If you agree to be our backer, we will undoubtedly go all out, exhausting all our resources, to help Miss Gao take control of the Gao family!"
