Zither Emperor Chapter 331 Chapter 100 Building a Territory Requires Money

331: Chapter 100 Building a Territory Requires Money (Part 1)_1 331: Chapter 100 Building a Territory Requires Money (Part 1)_1 Ye Yinzhu kept pulling her along until they reached the deep part of a small grove, where they stopped only when the surrounding dormitories were out of sight.

It was only then that he noticed he was holding Haiyang’s delicate hand and quickly let go with an embarrassed expression, “Sorry, I was a bit anxious just now.”

Haiyang chuckled softly, thinking to herself that no wonder Elder Sister Xiang Luan enjoyed seeing him so flustered, he really was the cutest when he was all clueless like this.

She took Ye Yinzhu’s four-fingered right hand in her own, “It’s not the first time you’ve held my hand; I’m not even shy about it, so what’s there for you to be embarrassed about?

I was actually looking for you, too.”

Feeling Haiyang grasp his hand, a wave of warmth surged in Ye Yinzhu’s heart.

Since recovering his appearance, Haiyang had bee much more cheerful, something he was very glad to see.

However, he still didn’t know exactly what his feelings for Haiyang were, even though he was well aware of the efforts she made for him, yet he always seemed to be avoiding something.

“It seems we have the same thing to talk about.

Haiyang, Elder Sister Xiang Luan, she…”

Haiyang spoke with some helplessness, “I went to find her as soon as I got back.

Elder Sister Xiang Luan was really angry this time.

It’s my fault for leaving with you without telling her.

However, it seems she wasn’t angry at me, but she said you took me away.

No matter how much I explained, she wouldn’t listen.

It wasn’t until this morning when I returned to the academy that I heard she had announced you were her boyfriend.

Yin Zhu, I’m sorry for the trouble.

But Elder Sister Xiang Luan didn’t mean any harm; she just wanted to get back at you a little.

Please don’t be angry with her, okay?”

Ye Yinzhu gave a bitter smile, “This is my fault, so how could I be angry with Elder Sister Xiang Luan?

Still, this issue needs to be resolved.

It’s not practical for me to keep facing a squad of challengers every time I leave my dorm.

It’s very unfortable being unable to take a step without trouble.

Elder Sister Xiang Luan is everyone’s sweetheart; I can’t possibly fight every male student in the academy, can I?”

Haiyang smiled, “Then you’ll have to admit your mistake to Elder Sister Xiang Luan.

I believe she will forgive you.

She’s just angry right now.

Endure for a few days; once she cools off, you can apologize, and she’ll probably accept it.”

Ye Yinzhu wanted to tell Haiyang that he had already sought out Elder Sister Xiang Luan, but thinking of that ambiguous encounter yesterday that later caused him immense pain, he decided to keep it to himself.

He had already angered Xiang Luan, and he didn’t want any misunderstanding with Haiyang, nor did he want to damage their sisterly relationship.

“Then I’ll head back first.

I’ll wait for your news.

However, the newer petition will begin in a few days, and I’m afraid I won’t have time to think about these things.” With Haiyang’s help, his relationship with Xiang Luan would gradually improve.

Now, with so much on his mind, Ye Yinzhu could only put the issue with Xiang Luan aside for the moment, especially after his encounters yesterday, when he had driven away many challengers—his troubles had already lessened considerably.

After all, his Blue rank magic bined with his near-Blue rank Douqi made him almost unparalleled among the students.

Oliveira had already graduated.

Not just the newer petition, but even across all grades in the academy, there were hardly any students who could pete with Ye Yinzhu.

When he returned to the dormitory, Sura had already prepared lunch, and Li Sha still had an ice-cold indifference, but the Silver Dragon Princess was anything but calm during the meal.

Whether it was to deliberately annoy Ye Yinzhu or not, as soon as Ye Yinzhu picked up his chopsticks, she had already devoured most of the lunch like a storm.

In the end, it took Sura giving half of her own meal to Ye Yinzhu to make sure he was at least half full.

“I’m going to rest.

Ye Yinzhu, you’re not allowed in the bedroom.

There is a sofa in the living room; that’s where you’ll rest for the time being.

Aren’t you participating in that newer petition?

Finish it quickly, then we have to find the people from the Milan Empire.

Sura, go back to your room to sleep tonight,” she declared, and without so much as glancing at the dumbfounded Ye Yinzhu, Li Sha leisurely returned to the bedroom.

Ye Yinzhu looked at the closed bedroom door, then at Sura beside him, his expression suddenly being strange, “Sura, am I hearing things, or did Li Sha just tell you to go back to your room to sleep tonight?

You, and her…”

Sura’s eyes twinkled with laughter, “What?

Are you jealous?

It makes sense, after all.

Though Li Sha may be a Silver Dragon, she’s still quite a beauty.”

Ye Yinzhu chuckled softly, lowering his voice, “Why would I be jealous?

I’m too happy for that.

As the saying goes, don’t let the good things go to waste.

Li Sha may not have the best temperament, but of all the Silver Dragons I know, she’s the only kind one.

If you like her, you’ll have to put in the effort.

If you need a brother’s help, just say the word, and I’ll do all I can.”

Sura looked at Ye Yinzhu with an expression even stranger than the one Ye Yinzhu was giving him, wanting to laugh but unable to.

The feeling of helplessness made him suddenly burst out, raising his hand to rap Ye Yinzhu on the head sharply, “I always thought you were honest, but it turns out your mind is full of filthy thoughts.

You deserve to sleep on the sofa.”

“I…

I was just trying to help you!” Ye Yinzhu said with an aggrieved tone.

Sura didn’t bother with him anymore and turned to walk into the kitchen, thinking to herself, “I’m certainly not a Lily.”

“Ye Yinzhu, if you don’t want to die, then get lost.” The Silver Dragon’s hearing was always excellent, and Li Sha was no exception.

The overpowering magic fluctuations were suddenly released from the bedroom like the tide.

Ye Yinzhu didn’t want his dorm to be blasted into ruins, so with a flash, he ran out.

At that moment, though, his heart was filled with immense frustration.

This is my dorm!

Living in my place, eating my food, and now kicking me out, there’s no justice at all.

Fortunately, he had been planning to go out anyway, and he had already gotten used to Li Sha’s temperament.

At least in his heart, Li Sha was the only one in the Silver Dragon Clan that he could consider a friend.

How could he possibly be really angry with a friend?

To avoid the entanglement of Xiang Luan’s admirers, Ye Yinzhu spurred his Douqi, and his figure shot up like an arrow.

This time, he was leaving the academy to attend to some matters.

Once out of Milan Magic Martial Academy, Ye Yinzhu headed straight for Milan City at a swift pace.

The distance was just a moment’s work for him.

After his Douqi had increased, his speed and martial skills had been growing rapidly through the cultivation of Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship.

The Douqi, nearly at the seventh rank of Sixth Rank Yellow Bamboo, was like a huge treasure trove, and the Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship was the best way to excavate this treasure.

When it came to martial skills, Ye Yinzhu’s fondness for them was growing more and more.

After all, martial skills were much more direct than magic.

Even if just for support, sometimes resolving problems with martial skills was easier than using magic.

It was only when he reached Milan City that Ye Yinzhu slowed down and walked into the city.

The cities of humans were nicer.

pared to Thor Hammer Fort, the strong sense of humanity alone made Ye Yinzhu feel much more fortable.

The bustling streets were lined with shops selling various goods, with voices of hawkers rising and falling.

Occasionally there were bold and spirited patrol soldiers whose spirits were high.

Although they couldn’t pare with the Dragon Cavalry, they were no less impressive than the Beastman Soldiers whose physical prowess was obviously superior.

After casually asking someone for directions, Ye Yinzhu found his destination—the slave market located on the north side of Milan City.

Almost every city in human nations had a slave market.

After all, in the class-based human nations, trading in slaves and Magical Beasts was the most normal business.

As soon as he entered the slave market of Milan City, the cleanliness struck Ye Yinzhu first.

The earliest slave market he had visited in a human nation, when he encountered the Iron Thorn Mercenary Group in that small town, reeked of the stench from Magical Beasts.

It was dirty and messy everywhere, which left a very bad impression on Ye Yinzhu.

The Thunder God Guild within the Thor Hammer Fort was much better.

But pared to the current efforts of the Milan City market, it was still far from the same level.

The sheer size of Milan City, along with its status in the human nations, meant it had the largest slave market on the continent, and it was the most legitimate.

Upon entering the market, the first thing he saw was a large hall of about two thousand square meters.

Surprisingly, the hall was surrounded by counters similar to those in the Mercenary Guild.

Hanging from the ceiling over thirty meters high were massive magic lamps, revealing every minute detail below.

Clear signposts were placed in the most conspicuous spots, and next to those counters, there were large doors, obviously leading to different parts of the slave market.

Whether the floor or anything else, everything was immaculately clean, with staff on hand to sweep at all times.

The atmosphere here wasn’t messy at all.

Even the most ordinary civilians visiting the slave market were orderly, and there wasn’t even much talking.

People who knew each other would speak in hushed tones.

The various plants placed around the hall created a very fortable environment for the slave market.

Even if one wasn’t knowledgeable, it was clear that Ye Yinzhu’s Magic Robe, endowed with Moon God’s Protection, was of fine quality.

And mages were an extremely noble profession on the continent.

As he stood there observing, a male staff member approached him.

“Respected Mage sir, may I ask if there is anything I can assist you with?”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Yes, thank you.

It’s my first time at the slave market.

Is there a place here where auctions are held?

I would like to auction off some items.”

The staff member’s eyes lit up, as items auctioned by mages were naturally magical products.

These were the most profitable business in the slave market.

He hurriedly said, “Praise Falan.

Of course, there are.

Mage sir, please follow me.” (To be continued.
