"You're surrounded by money every day, yet you haven't been blinded by it. I, Cao Xiaosi, admire you!"
"This bowl of wine is to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey!"
"This bowl of wine is a toast to our long-awaited reunion!"
Both Wuying and Wuhen raised their wine bowls to Wang An.
Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye exchanged a smile and each picked up their wine bowls.
Looking at everyone's warm and sincere smiles, Wang An's eyes also welled up with tears. He raised his wine bowl and said, "To the departed Great Zhao, to the home we can never return to, and to those relatives who are still on their way home and running towards us, cheers!"
After saying that, Wang An tilted his head back and drank all the strong liquor in the bowl, feeling a burning sensation in his throat, stomach, and eyes.
The others also raised their bowls and drank the wine in them, all deeply moved.
After a hearty meal, Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, Wuying, Wuhen, Xique, Cao Xiaosi, and others chatted with Wang An until late into the night before dispersing to their rooms to rest or cultivate.
Wang An hadn't concealed his whereabouts too much along the way, so the news that the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce had gone to the Dan Sect had also reached Tongcheng.
Everyone was wondering if the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce had gone mad, actually setting its sights on the Dan Sect.
Wouldn't it be better for the Dan Sect to sell their own pills?
Why do you insist on transferring the pills to your Kanglong Merchant Guild so they can get something for free?
But to the astonishment of those in the know in Tongcheng:
Not only were the people from the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce not kicked out by the Dan Sect, but Yun Yao's husband also personally welcomed them in and spent the night with them.
The next morning, rumors spread throughout the Dan Sect.
It is said that Yun Yao intends to cooperate with the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce, and in the future, the Danzong may auction some rare high-grade pills through the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce.
They might even use the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce platform to sell the essential pills that cultivators need.
For example, pills for avoiding grains, pills for gathering spirits, and pills for restoring spirits.
Everyone sighed, thinking that Yun Yao, the next sect leader of the Dan Sect, was probably obsessed with money.
Once these pills come out of the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce, they'll definitely be ridiculously expensive!
Ordinary rogue cultivators don't have much income to begin with, so how can they afford pills?
Zhou Zhaolong stayed in Tongcheng in fear, but he did not receive any retaliation from Danzong. He guessed that Danzong was afraid that if they wiped out the Jin family, they would provoke the Dongdan family, and if they offended the Zhou family, it would have too much to bear and would be difficult to deal with. So, he gradually became bolder.
Since the Dan Sect is afraid, the Zhou family still has room to maneuver.
Zhou Zhaolong thought that if the Zhou family put some pressure on the Dan Sect at this time, the Dan Sect might be able to release Zhou Bo.
Although he really didn't want to save that ridiculous Zhou Bo, he knew that Zhou Zhaonan would definitely not give up on his son.
If he stays in Tongcheng and does nothing, Zhou Zhaonan will blame him instead.
So no matter what the reason, he has to make a move.
After learning about the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhaolong bribed two rogue cultivators to go and persuade them to cause trouble at the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce's shop in Tongcheng. Even though the shop sold clothing instead of medicinal herbs, it was smashed to pieces.
News of the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce and news of Wu Dongyu reached Shending Peak almost simultaneously.
Wang An immediately smashed the fine jade cup in his hand and angrily said, "How dare someone cause trouble in the Kanglong Chamber of Commerce? It seems that we haven't killed anyone in years. Have they forgotten why our emblem is red?"
After saying that, Wang An said to the honest-looking middle-aged man who had been guarding the door, "Fu Qian, notify the Divine Dragon Squad to bring back those troublemakers and question them carefully. I want to see who's tired of living this time!"
