Gao Ying replied, "The capital is the most important city, and the Embroidered-Robe Envoy's headquarters are there. Who would dare to do such things under the Emperor's nose? So naturally there is no black market in the capital. Yi City ahead is also a large city and a transportation hub. It is not too far from the Northern Wilderness. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a black market there."
Zuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Then I really should go to Yicheng for a visit."
Pei You laughed heartily: "Brother Zu, you truly are one of us. However, this time when we go to the brothel, we won't hold back like we did at Hongxiuzhao last time. We'll each rely on our own abilities to see who can win the heart of the beautiful lady."
Zuan: "???"
When did I say I was going to the black market, and when did I say I was going to a brothel?
At this moment, Gao Ying sighed softly, "Brother Pei, do you know what I admire most about you?"
Pei You was taken aback: "Is it because you admire my talent for cultivation? Or my handsome appearance?"
Gao Ying shook his head with a strange expression: "No, I admire your confidence."
Pei You wasn't stupid, and he naturally understood the teasing tone in the other person's voice: "Hmph, Yi County is close to the north, and the girls here admire heroes, unlike in the capital where literary talent is valued. I think with my appearance, I still have a certain competitive edge."
What he said was true; a young master from a prominent family, handsome as he was, would indeed attract attention in public.
Gao Ying laughed and said, "If the girls of Yi County really want to appreciate heroes, how can you compare to my grandfather?"
Hearing him say that, Pei You showed no sign of discouragement: "It doesn't matter if I can't compare to my grandfather, as long as I can compare to you."
Gao Ying: "..."
A few days later, the ship stopped at Yicheng Wharf, and Gao Ying and the others asked Sang Hong for leave to go sightseeing in the city.
Because resupplying the ship would take a long time, and the people on board were getting restless after sailing on the water for so long, Sang Hong was quite understanding and readily agreed.
Zuan had originally invited him to come to the city to rest, but he refused, because of his special status and he did not want to have too much contact with the Prince of Yan and the officials of Yi County, so he stayed on the ship.
"Lord Sang is incredibly self-disciplined." Gao Ying was full of admiration after the group disembarked.
“If he hadn’t done that, he wouldn’t have gained such a great reputation in previous years. All the officials in the court were afraid of him and privately called him Sang Hu,” Pei You also said.
Zu An wholeheartedly agreed. He had witnessed Zu An's methods in Bright Moon City before. When Zu An made a move, it was always a thunderous attack. If the Chu family hadn't had his divine intervention, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Suddenly he noticed that the road they were walking on was becoming increasingly remote, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Aren't we going into the city?"
"What's so fun about the city? Today I'll take you to a really fun place," Gao Ying said mysteriously.

There was a minor bug in yesterday's chapter; after consuming that number of Yuan Qi Fruits, Daji's cultivation level should have increased to the fifth rank of the sixth grade. This has been corrected.
