Upon receiving notification that Qin Yichen would establish the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce in Central Province, Ye Liangchen brought several assistants with him to Central Province.
Though Lu Linghan and the other girls wanted to go too, they still had some concerns.
Although the An Family had fallen from grace, they still possessed the foundation of being one of the Eight Millennial Families. For their safety, Qin Yichen did not let them come along.
However, although Lu Linghan and the girls did not follow, half a day later, they discovered a worrying problem… Little Ling’er was missing!
Missing along with her was that ‘Dog’ like monster.
After sending people to catch up with Ye Liangchen’s caravan, they finally found Little Ling’er sleeping soundly in one of the carriages after a thorough search.
In the end, after their persuasion failed, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to reluctantly take Little Ling’er along to Central Province.
…
Half a month later, at the gates of Central Province City.
Qin Yichen and Zhao Ritian stood side by side outside the city gates, with Qin Yichen occasionally gazing into the distance.
“Look, Qin Yichen, we’ve been waiting here half a day for those guys you mentioned. My fair skin has already been tanned! I’m going to be black soon!” Zhao Ritian kicked a stone at his feet while grumbling.
“Soon.” This one faint word came from Qin Yichen’s mouth as his gaze remained fixed on the distance.
If Little Ling’er had not come along, he definitely would not have come to wait here so long. However, thinking of the adorable Little Ling’er, he could not contain his excitement and came to wait outside the city gates, despite countless gazes secretly observing him.
“You’ve said that twenty-three times already, damn it! ‘Soon, soon,’ from morning till noon…” Hearing that same word from Qin Yichen, Zhao Ritian could not help but shout.
“Damn it, I’m the Young Master of the Zhao Family, when have I ever waited for someone like this? Even that decrepit Tower Master hasn’t made me wait this long…” As Zhao Ritian’s endless complaints continued, Qin Yichen’s next casual words immediately silenced his chatter.
“Keep complaining and that one and a half percent profit for the Zhao Family will be canceled, and don’t come asking me about any Alchemy problems in the future.” These brief sentences made Zhao Ritian reluctantly close his mouth.
To be honest, he did not care about that one and a half percent profit. For Zhao Ritian, who did not understand such matters, money was just a number. One in which he had little to no regard for. Of course, if the Zhao Family Patriarch knew Zhao Ritian’s thoughts, he would have skinned him alive.
What Zhao Ritian feared most was the latter half of Qin Yichen’s statement. During this time, whether it was about Alchemy or Spiritual Energy mastery, whenever he encountered problems and consulted Qin Yichen, everything would become clear. He did not want to lose a ‘teacher’ even more mystical than the decrepit Tower Master. At least, not lose a ‘teacher’ over this.
“Damn it, making me wait so long, I want to see just who these people are, hmph!” However, though yielding to Qin Yichen, Zhao Ritian remained indignant, and thus vented his anger on these people he had not yet met.
…
Ten kilometres away, in a caravan.
*Achoo!* A loud sneeze rang out from a carriage.
“Damn it, who’s cursing me! Stop the carriage, I need to pee!”
Following a shout, the caravan stopped on the main road.
With the carriage shaking, a fat figure ‘squeezed’ out of the carriage, and seemingly worried about breaking the carriage door frame, turned back to look.
“Young Master Ye, we’re only ten kilometres away, shall we head into the city first?” Looking at the violently shaking carriage, the guard driving gulped and pointed at Central Province City’s outline visible in the distance.
“Stop nagging. We are doing the usual procedure: rest for an hour. Damn it, all this jostling has made my precious flesh sore and numb. If I lose weight and my old man sees it, won’t he be heartbroken…” Ye Liangchen walked down from the carriage while cursing.
“Uncle Fatty, we are resting again?” In Ye Liangchen’s view, a girl as delicate as fine jade stepped down from the carriage behind him, followed by a ‘Dog’ wagging its tail as if trying to please the little girl.
“Little Ling’er, don’t come over, or at least keep that beast away from me!”
Seeing the ‘Dog’ behind Little Ling’er, every bit of Ye Liangchen’s fat trembled violently.
When searching the caravan and finding Little Ling’er, Ye Liangchen could not forget how this ‘Dog’, thinking Ye Liangchen might harm Little Ling’er, released terrifying killing intent that made him lose control of his bowels…
*Aooo…*
As if understanding that Ye Liangchen was calling it a beast, the ‘Dog’ from the Death Zone bared its teeth, looking quite fierce.
…
“Grandmaster Qin, I just met an arrogant fellow who spoke disrespectfully, directly calling out your name. I almost couldn’t resist teaching him a lesson!” Outside Central Province City, as a caravan passed by Qin Yichen, someone flatteringly said.
“Oh?” To this, Qin Yichen only gave a faint response.
“If he hadn’t said he knew you, I would have fought him right there. Such a fat fellow, daring to directly call out Grandmaster Qin’s name, hmph!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s lukewarm attitude, the caravan leader continued speaking while tactfully moving into the city.
“Wait!” Qin Yichen suddenly called out: “This fat person you mentioned… was he incredibly ugly yet narcissistic?”
“Yes, yes, exactly! How did you know? Oh… Grandmaster Qin, do you really know him? Thank Heaven I didn’t act just now…” Hearing Qin Yichen’s description, the leader quickly nodded, while relief flashed in his eyes.
“Hehe, I don’t know him… where did you meet him?” Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched as he asked.
“Ten kilometres away, they seem to be resting there. Since Grandmaster Qin doesn’t know him, next time I meet him, I’ll definitely teach that fatty a lesson…”
“Ten kilometres away, they’ve finally arrived…” Qin Yichen sighed in relief. Beside him, Zhao Ritian could not help but roll his eyes.
“Grandmaster Qin, why don’t you rest at the City Lord Mansion? When the people you’re waiting for have arrived, we can bring them there.” A city gate guard could not help but speak up, but Qin Yichen remained unmoved, until…
Soon, a quarter hour passed…
There was still no sign of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce caravan on the road.
Half an hour later, blue veins covered Zhao Ritian’s forehead…
An hour later, Qin Yichen’s chest also began heaving violently.
Ten kilometres!
Even walking would have gotten them here by now!
Finally, just as Qin Yichen’s patience was reaching its limit, the caravan flying the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce flag appeared in his and Zhao Ritian’s view.
“Daddy!” When still a hundred meters away, Little Ling’er seemed to sense Qin Yichen’s aura and ran out from the caravan, directly jumping into his embrace.
“Haha… Little Ling’er, I’ve missed you so much!” Qin Yichen scooped up Little Ling’er and kissed her cheeks hard twice, his heart overflowing with joy.
“This… damn!” Zhao Ritian, who had wanted to get angry, found his anger dissipating at the sight of such an adorable little girl.
“Zhao Ritian, bring that caravan in later. I’m heading to the Chamber Of Commerce first.” Qin Yichen glanced at the carriage wheels sunk deep in the ground and spoke to Zhao Ritian in a somewhat gloomy voice.
