The shimmering lake surface stretched farther and farther along this pool of clear water. The three-colored woods extended straight between the water and the sky, casting reflections all the way. They swayed in the water, and layers of ripples rose with the wind. Xi Chen smiled and said goodbye to everyone one by one, turned around and prepared to board the boat first.
"Wait." Looking at Xi Chen's figure that was about to go away, Luo Wen quickly jumped off his horse and called out to Xi Chen who was about to board the boat and leave.
Xi Chen was startled. He turned around and looked at the person who came. Seeing that it was Luo Wen, Xi Chen was startled again and asked in confusion, "So it's the head of the Luo family. I wonder why the head of the Luo family came here?"
Luo Wen, expressionless, led a group of purple-robed attendants through the crowd and came to Xi Chen. "I didn't know the head of the Xi family was leaving today, so I came to see him off."
"I see. Thank you, Lord Luo." Xi Chen smiled and nodded to Luo Wen as a token of his gratitude. "Originally, I should have a nice little get-together with you, Lord Luo, but it's getting late today, and I should be leaving soon. I can only hope to meet you again next time if the opportunity arises."
Listening to Xi Chen's words, Luo Wen's eyes quickly looked around, and finally stopped at the many goods behind Xi Chen. "I wonder what the purpose of transporting so many goods is?"
Listening to Luo Wen's words, Xi Chen also turned back slightly, smiled and explained, "The Xi family is based in the Frozen Land, where all supplies are in short supply. This time I am heading south, so I naturally want to bring more items back. Does Lord Luo have any questions?"
Luo Wen shook his head slightly, "I just didn't expect the host to be so caring about the people." Having said that, Luo Wen's eyes were still fixed on the pile of heavy goods without saying a word.
"Of course. The Xi family has relied on the people since its founding. Although the Xi family's spiritual power is powerful, it is ultimately built on the support of the people. We can't live without the people, don't you think, Brother Luo Wen?"
Luo Wen nodded again as a response to Xi Chen's words, but his mind was not on Xi Chen's words.
Fortunately, he arrived just in time; Xi Chen's men hadn't boarded yet. He quickly scanned everyone present, and the purple-robed attendant behind him didn't notice anything either. It seemed Su Yin wasn't there. Could he have been overthinking it? But if it wasn't him, was there anyone else in Yangzhou with such power?
The head of the Xi family came and went quickly. Although his date had been set long ago and he knew it before, he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Thinking of this, Luo Wen couldn't help but frown. After casually looking at everyone, he shifted his gaze to the pile of heavy cargo behind Xi Chen that was about to be transported to the ship.
"Brother Luo Wen, Brother Luo Wen?" Seeing Luo Wen in a daze, Xi Chen couldn't help but call Luo Wen softly.
"Mr. Xi passed away so suddenly that I didn't have time to treat him to a proper banquet. It's such a pity." Luo Wen came back to his senses and greeted Xi Chen.
"Regret?" Xi Chen smiled faintly, unable to deny it. "I think Brother Luo Wen is clearly not interested in wine."
"I heard before that Brother Luo Wen seemed to have been looking for someone recently. It seems that the rumors are true. Now, Brother Luo Wen has found out about it." Looking at Luo Wen, although Xi Chen still had a faint smile on his face, there was a hint of sharpness in his laughter.
