"marry?"
"Yes, I heard the groom is from a down-on-his-luck family in Tianshan City. I don't know how the young master of Qiyanfang could have taken a liking to someone of such status! But it's alright, he's marrying into the family, so the Yan family isn't at a disadvantage!" Gu Anlei's eyes lit up when she talked about marrying into the family. That was her favorite thing, but unfortunately, she didn't have the means to do so. Otherwise, she would have found a man to marry into the family too.
"We really should get our weapons!" Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully.
"Let's hurry up and pack our things. We can go to Tianshan City on the way after we leave the camp!" Gu Anlei wanted Jiang Yuan to help her pack, otherwise she would be exhausted by herself.
"No need, I can tidy up here. You can do me a favor!"
...
"Cousin, that person really left. Otherwise, it's been almost half a month, and we haven't seen a trace of him in such a large city as Tianshan!" Ke Zhiyuan said with a worried expression.
Ever since he posted that video, my cousin, who's always been incredibly busy, has actually come to Tianshan City in person for the first time ever, and has stayed for almost half a month.
"Is it a coincidence? How could such a coincidence happen in this world!" Liu Zhaodi said uncertainly.
“Cousin, why don’t I keep an eye on things here? I’ll report to you as soon as I hear any news about him! You should go back to Ancheng first. The situation there can’t be left without you in charge!” Ke Zhiyuan said with a bitter face. He had been scolded to death by his family members these past few days because of his words. His cousin had given up a high-value deal and traveled from Ancheng, thousands of miles away, to Tianshan City. Both the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Liu family suffered huge losses.
"call!"
Liu Zhaodi took a deep breath, then turned to look at the snow-covered Tianshan City behind her. She sighed, "This is the only way. But remember, you must report any news about him to me immediately. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay in the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce!"
Ke Zhiyuan nodded with a bitter face. What kind of nonsense was this? He had only lost to an alchemist. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
"Also, the young master of Qiyanfang is getting married today. You will represent the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce to deliver a gift. Don't be stingy with the money. Qiyanfang is the most worthwhile force to win over in Tianshan City. The more extravagant the gift, the better!"
After saying that, Liu Zhaodi gave Ke Zhiyuan a meaningful look, then entered the teleportation array and disappeared.
"Phew, she's finally gone!" Ke Zhiyuan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. Although his cousin wasn't much older than him, her power and influence were far beyond what a greenhorn like him could ever hope to achieve.
"General Manager, what gift should we give to the young master of Qiyanfang for his wedding?" Only after Liu Zhaodi left did the underlings who were following Ke Zhiyuan dare to come up.
"Didn't you hear what my cousin said? It's okay to waste money on good and expensive things!" Ke Zhiyuan suddenly became arrogant.
"this……"
"Didn't you hear me? Get ready! Today, the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce will be the most extravagant force at the wedding!"
...
"No wonder everyone likes to run to the safe zone. The atmosphere in Tianshan City is hundreds of times more lively than in our camp. Humans really are social animals!"
As soon as Gu Anlei entered Tianshan City, she began to focus on the various roadside food stalls. Before long, she was standing next to Jiang Yuan with a large pile of snacks in her hands.
"I don't know if you're a social animal or not, but I know you're definitely a glutton!" Jiang Yuan was speechless as he looked at the huge pile of cheap snacks in Gu Anlei's hands.
"You should try it, it's delicious!"
Gu Anlei insisted on stuffing a skewer of golden-brown, crispy roasted meat into Jiang Yuan's mouth.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the skewers and said speechlessly, "Second-tier beast meat, eating it only increases the burden on the stomach, it's completely useless!"
"They're just running a small business, how could they possibly have meat from spirit or god realm beasts to grill for us? If they did, who would be running this barbecue stall?" Gu Anlei thought Jiang Yuan was dissatisfied with the grade of the meat.
Hearing her complaints, Jiang Yuan silently took a skewer and ate it, asking, "Is everything ready?"
"You're all ready, but are you really going to waste so many merits on a dowry for a girl you've never even met? She's not marrying you, so your generosity is like throwing good money after bad!" Gu Anlei continued to complain. Her woman's intuition told her that Jiang Yuan had an ambiguous relationship with the young master of Qiyanfang.
"That's good. Next, you can deliver the gift to Qiyanfang on my behalf!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
"And what about you?"
"Me?" Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll wander around!"
"How can you do this? You're the one giving the gift, why should I go?" Gu Anlei was reluctant, mainly because the two sides didn't know each other.
"Hey, you think I, a ninth-rank officer, can't even command you, a fourth-rank officer?!"
Jiang Yuan immediately put pressure on Gu Anlei when he saw that she had some objections.
"Well... but commanding can't be a private matter!" Gu Anlei shrank back two steps, ready to run away at any moment.
Jiang Yuan frowned and asked, "Then tell me, what conditions do you want for me to help?"
"During my year of study at Huasheng Academy, you will be responsible for my food, clothing, and accommodation!"
