Shang Xiye was taken aback by what he heard, and turned back to look at Wang An in surprise: "What did you say?"
"I..." Wang An looked bewildered: "I said I found the main group."
"No, that's not it. You just said you've been wandering for many years?" Shang Xiye asked incredulously.
“Ah, more than two hundred years, to be precise, two hundred and thirty-eight years, four months and three days,” Wang An counted on his fingers with certainty, then turned around and pointed to the thirty or forty rogue cultivators at the Loose Immortal Realm behind him, saying, “If I hadn’t been doing business for so long and saved up some money, how could I afford to support such a group of experts?”
After saying that, Wang An leaned closer to Shang Xiye and said in a pained voice through divine sense, "Ninth Prince, you don't know, although these good-for-nothings don't eat, they still spend money. Every month, I spend a lot of spirit stones to support them. It's all my hard-earned money!"
Shang Xiye: "..."
They've only been in the teleportation realm for a little over a year, yet this guy claims he's been here for over two hundred years?
Was he too weak when he was teleported over, and the teleportation array damaged his brain?
At this moment, Xique, Wuying, Wuhen, Cao Xiaosi, and others also rushed over upon hearing the news.
Everyone was overjoyed to see Wang An.
Cao Xiaosi was suddenly startled when he noticed the flag emblem on the extravagant sedan chair that Wang An had previously ridden in, as well as the same emblem printed on the clothes of the thirty or forty independent cultivators who seemed to be of no one in charge. He pointed at the sedan chair and the cultivators and asked, "Wang An, don't tell me you were carried here by these people in that sedan chair."
“Ah, yes, I was carried here in a sedan chair,” Wang An answered matter-of-factly, then waved his hand and said with an air of extravagance, “My sister… uh, the Ninth Princess said that people earn money to spend and enjoy themselves.”
I've made so much money, of course I have to live the most luxurious life.
Oh, right, and you guys too!
We're all family. From now on, I, Wang An, will cover all your living expenses, and I'll arrange the best for you all!
Xique: "...?"
Without a trace, without a shadow: "???"
Cao Xiaosi: "!!!"
Wang An felt uneasy under the strange looks from everyone. He pinched his face and quickly said, "...No, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm really not an imposter. If you don't believe me, touch my face. I'm not wearing a human skin mask."
Cao Xiaosi walked shakily up to Wang An, excitedly grabbing his arms and saying, "Wang An, don't tell me you've seduced the daughter of the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce and become their live-in son-in-law!"
"What are you talking about? What live-in son-in-law? The Kanglong Chamber of Commerce is mine, okay?" Wang An patted his chest proudly and said, "I still remember how much my sister... uh, the Ninth Princess thought of me and went to great lengths to support my business career, all so that I, Wang An, could make great strides in the mortal realm. Of course, I can't let down the Ninth Princess's trust in me."
So after I came here, relying on the capital that the Ninth Princess gave me, and with my silver tongue, I spent over a hundred years recruiting talents and experts from all sides, which allowed the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce to slowly establish itself in the Danling Continent, a place full of powerful figures.
They then spent over a hundred years recruiting and building up their forces, transforming it into the premier merchant guild on the Danling Continent, finally managing not to disgrace the Ninth Prince's wife.
Shang Xiye: "..."
The others: ..."
Cao Xiaosi touched Wang An's forehead with the back of his hand: "This child, is he dreaming?"
