"Master Qu, is Ziqing in danger?" The Third Elder looked at Master Qu, noticing that his complexion seed better, he urgently inquired. Hmm... actually, the old god-man’s complexion had always been good; it was rely his misconception.
"Your concern is not unfounded, Ziqing indeed faces so peril. He is currently in Xiushui City, and you’d better send soone to assist him imdiately," Qu Shanling abandoned his usual aura of false mystique, speaking with conviction. It seed that the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique had truly been effective.
"Xiushui City, why would he go to Xiushui City?" The Third Elder’s complexion changed drastically as he exclaid in shock.
Mu Hanyan felt a bit puzzled; she had also heard that Mu Ziqing was headed to Shanyang City. Why had it changed to Xiushui City? Even so, there was no need for the Third Elder to beco so tense about it.
"According to my divination, he has indeed gone to Xiushui City," Qu Shanling did not waver and insisted.
"No, if he really went to Xiushui City, that’s big trouble. I must rush back imdiately," seeing Qu Shanling’s certainty, the Third Elder had no choice but to believe him. He anxiously wrung his hands and spoke with great concern.
"Master Qu Shan, I can’t thank you enough for this ti. Please accept this small gesture of my appreciation and do not take offense," although the Third Elder was in a hurry to leave, he did not forget his manners and handed over a silver note.
"We’ve known each other for many years, to talk about money seems so impersonal..." Qu Shanling began with a look of indignation, but his voice shifted as he saw the amount on the silver note, "However, the Third Elder’s intentions are good, and it would be an insult not to accept. I’ll take it this ti, but let’s not make a habit of it."
While he spoke, Qu Shanling quickly pocketed the silver note, acting as if he feared the Third Elder might change his mind.
The god-man! Where’s your face? Mu Hanyan couldn’t help cursing in her mind again.
Though Qu Shanling moved quickly, Lady Mu’s eyes were even quicker; she imdiately took note of the sum – exactly ten thousand taels – printed on the silver note. It seed that being a god-man was indeed a lucrative profession. Perhaps, she too could have a clear path to wealth?
After a few more polite words, the Third Elder hastened away from the Nanyan Comrce with Mu Donghuai.
Seeing the Third Elder’s anxious deanor, Mu Nan also began to worry and quickly followed.
Of course, Mu Hanyan wouldn’t just stand by watching indifferently. After giving Che Xiang a few instructions, she also, along with Huayue and Zirong, returned to the Mu Family.
As for the Nanyan Comrce...
Now that Mu Nan had given her a three percent share of the Nanyan Comrce, if Mu Hanyan wanted to help Mu Nan realize his dream, she could no longer approach the chamber with the mindset of an outsider. She needed to contribute as well.
However, she couldn’t stay here all day, so she left Che Xiang behind. While Che Xiang’s cultivation talent might not match Huayue’s or Zirong’s, he was still above average. Coming from a poor family background, he’d been picking herbs since he was young to support his family, resulting in eyesight far superior to the average person’s. His careful thinking made him well-suited for handling the affairs of the chamber.
Letting him learn from Steward Sun and Master Qu Shan for a few years would surely turn him into a valuable right-hand man for Mu Nan.
After leaving the chamber, Mu Hanyan waved her hand, telling Zirong and Huayue to head ho. She then slowly strolled towards the City Lord’s Mansion, planning to buy so walnuts to feed Star Illusion Thousand Machine as usual.
Stopping at a small stall, Mu Hanyan was about to pay with a small ingot of silver when suddenly the light dimd as a figure blocked her path.
Turning her head in confusion, Mu Hanyan saw a breathtakingly handso face.
Ye Lanfeng!
What was he doing here?
