While admiring the flowers in the woods, the three women intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation toward the people they liked. Luo Yiqiong seemed to be chatting idly, asking Bai Naixiang about Bai Naijin's whereabouts.

"I've heard about the mysterious disappearance of the ancient trees at Miaohu these past few days. I originally wanted to go with Young Master Naijiong to take a look. Since Young Master Naijiong isn't here, I wonder if your brother, Naixiang, has time? If he's free, could he be our protector and accompany us to Miaohu for a visit?"

I'm incredibly curious about what's happening in that temple lake; I want to go see for myself, and many other people have gone too.

Bai Naixiang smiled broadly, understanding Luo Yiqiong's thoughts, and was happy to make her happy.

“My brother has been busy with household affairs at home these past few days. He is at home, so I might as well go and ask him if he can spare some time to spend with us.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiqiong's eyes lit up.

"Nai Xiang, I'll go with you."

Bai Naiying found it quite irritating to see the two of them working together so well, one singing and the other echoing the other.

Aren't these two being hypocritical and disgusting?

Why beat around the bush when your intentions are so obvious?

What kind of protector of flowers?

Isn't it just because she's taken a liking to the eldest brother?

Bai Naixiang sighed with apparent regret, "If Yiqiong, your brother were here too, we could all go out and have fun together. It would be more lively with more people."

Luo Yiqiong smiled and said, "My older brother has been quite busy lately. He recently took over some of the family's businesses and needs to learn how to manage them from Father."

"She's not at home right now. It seems she's traveling around with her father. I heard she recently hosted a baron from Israel and they've been doing some business together. Now she seems to be showing him around here." Luo Yiqiong said with a hint of pride and arrogance.

Bai Naixiang was taken aback. A merchant from Islay? Or a baron?

These days, mentioning Israel is considered an honor if one can be associated with him.

Even the newly appointed Third King intends to establish good relations with Islail and make connections.

After all, it borders a neighboring country. If it can maintain good relations with them, the Apocalypse Empire can live a more comfortable life.

When Islael was in trouble, the Apocalypse betrayed its friendly alliance with Islael and even presented the Kingdom of Kro with the 'Golden City' as a congratulatory gift to celebrate the Kingdom's victory over Islael.

Of course, this wasn't done by the newly appointed Three Kings, but by the former emperor.

However, since it was something Apocalypse had done, Islaile still held a grudge about it.

The newly appointed Three Kings have been trying to eliminate the grudges with Islaël and re-establish a friendly alliance, but they have not yet had the opportunity.

The new emperor has spoken in court, urging the thirteen noble families to make contact with Islail's side as much as possible, eliminate any misunderstandings, and regain Islail's trust.

Therefore, Luo Yiqiong was able to openly talk about her dealings with ***er, and not only that, she even seemed to be showing off with pride.

Islael is now a powerful nation, and all thirteen prestigious families want to curry favor with it, but few of them are actually capable of doing so.

But the Luo family did it.

Bai Naixiang opened her mouth, "Because of Jin Cheng's matter, isn't ***Er quite prejudiced against our Tianqi side? A few days ago, my family also wanted to do some business with Slyr's side, but they completely ignored us and were very cold. Even my brother was turned away."

Bai Naiying understood this all too well. It seemed that her brother had also been turned away in Jincheng and had been in a bad mood ever since. Apparently, he wanted to talk to the Jincheng government about some fresh fruits and vegetables.

However, they never gave them the time of day. They couldn't even see the lords of the Jincheng government, since even the new emperor hadn't given them the time of day.

However, she couldn't even see any officials, such as the lord's deputy, which was quite embarrassing. But her brother couldn't do anything about it, since the Jincheng government was protected by Islay.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiqiong's eyes lit up slightly, as if she had found some opportunity to get closer to Bai Naijin. "Young Master Naijin, what kind of business do you want to do with Islaier?"

Bai Naixiang thought about what had been bothering her brother lately, and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be some new gadgets from Jincheng that my brother values ​​quite a bit."

Many young masters and ladies from prominent families who went there for sightseeing brought back gifts for my brother. After looking at them, my brother thought they were quite good and could be used for business. He thought about making some contact with Jincheng, but Jincheng had no such intention at all.

Specifically, it's the jewelry and pastries from that area. My family's jewelry business hasn't been doing too well lately, affected by the situation in Jincheng. Many young men and women who travel there for leisure buy jewelry there.

For a while, the shops around here were surprisingly quiet.

However, the prices over there are truly outrageous; I never expected them to ask for such exorbitant prices.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiqiong's eyes dimmed, and she looked a little disappointed.

"Jincheng? If it's Jincheng, I'm afraid my family can't be of much help." Her family had some experience with things in Jincheng and knew there were many new and interesting things there, so they wanted to partner with them in business.

However, the people in Jincheng are not easy to deal with, especially in business. As long as you show even the slightest interest in business, you will be treated with suspicion and your attitude will change instantly.

However, if you are just visiting as a tourist, the people there are really very welcoming.

"The lord over there in Jincheng seems to be quite arrogant. My father's invitations have never received a reply."

After all, Jincheng used to be part of the Luo family's territory, and the Luo family knows Jincheng inside and out.

"If we could establish a relationship with my family, it might be of some help to Jincheng, but the lord of Jincheng doesn't seem to take my Luo family seriously."

Bai Naiying rolled her eyes. He really thought too highly of himself. So what if he was the former city lord of Jincheng?

Now, does Jincheng even need the Luo family's help? They're doing incredibly well on their own, much better than before.
