Mu Hanyan and the others did not expect that the news would spread so quickly. Seeing the confident looks of the vendors, they felt very relieved.
"I finally understand why you didn't even give face to Ye Fengyun. If we give in this time, I'm afraid all our efforts will be wasted." Mu Nan said with emotion.
In the Holy Court Continent, the strong are ultimately respected. Looking back now, I was a bit naive to think that I could rely on my own efforts to turn the Nanmu Auction House into the most powerful chamber of commerce in Anyun Country. While it's not impossible, without the support of powerful people behind the scenes, I don't know how much effort it would take to reach that point, and even a painful price to pay.
And now, with Mu Hanyan, many things have become much easier.
Perhaps, their ideals are not that far away.
Mu Nan looked at Mu Hanyan and couldn't help but think that he really hoped he would become as strong as possible, because only when he became stronger could the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce become stronger.
When I came to the inner courtyard again, Manager Sun came to greet me with a smile on his face.
"Young Master is indeed a good hand. I was originally worried that if this matter was not handled properly, it would cause unrest among the people. Now it seems that my worries were unnecessary. Not only do the merchants now look at our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce with admiration, but the confidence of everyone in the meeting has also increased greatly. The injured guards were so grateful when they heard the news that they burst into tears and said they wanted to come over to thank me in person. I had a hard time persuading them." Manager Sun said excitedly.
"It's just a small favor. By the way, Manager Sun didn't say much about my identity, right?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Why say more? Once people heard about this, they all guessed that our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was able to gain a foothold in Black Stone City thanks to the protection of Mr. Mu, and that Mr. Mu was in cahoots with us and must have made a lot of money." Manager Sun said jokingly.
In his opinion, the reason why Mu Hanyan was unwilling to reveal her identity was probably because her reputation was too bad and she didn't want to attract attention and cause too much trouble for her father, the city lord (although he had already caused a lot of trouble), so he didn't think it was strange.
"That's good. Send someone from the neighboring courtyards to talk to Yuan Tianbo. I think he won't ask for an exorbitant price this time. Let's not bully him. It doesn't matter if he pays a little more." Mu Hanyan said.
After all, he is not a real playboy. Although Mu Hanyan seems to act arrogantly, he actually has his own bottom line.
"Yes." Steward Sun now admired Mu Hanyan more and more. He nodded without hesitation and added, "By the way, my master is waiting for you. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Mu Hanyan thought of Qu Shanling's sad face before, and felt a little worried, so she said seriously.
Soon they arrived at Qu Shanling's courtyard. There were no outsiders present, and Qu Shanling looked even more worried. Upon closer inspection, they saw a few more white hairs on his temples, which were obviously not dyed.
"Master Qu, what happened?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Young Master, do you still remember the life and death crisis I mentioned?" Qu Shanling calmed down and asked Mu Hanyan.
"Of course I remember. Have you figured it out?" Mu Hanyan certainly hadn't forgotten. It was because of Master Qu Shanling's last words, saying he would face a life-or-death calamity around the age of forty-five, that Qu Shanling had sought help from fellow masters, finally meeting her and, through a strange combination of circumstances, willingly signing a twenty-year indenture.
