Translator: 549690339

What surprised Yang Xiaotian was that the leader of this Wind Cloud Commerce Guild caravan was Wen Jingyi.

Wen Jingyi, dressed in a black brocade robe and riding an exotic Dragon Horse, had skin that looked even more conspicuous under the moonlight.

Whether in Xingyue City or in Divine Sword City, her performance had always been dazzling.

That’s why the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild called her back to resume her position at headquarters.

Of course, on her return to Royal City, she took the opportunity to escort a shipment of goods there as well.

Reflecting on her own changes over the past few months, Wen Jingyi was filled with emotion; if not for Lord Long, she could not have returned to headquarters so soon.

This time, returning to headquarters was not just about resuming her old position, but to join the Council of Elders.

For someone of her age, joining the Council of Elders was absolutely stunning.

She would become the youngest Elder in the history of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.

She was immensely grateful to Lord Long.

“Elder, it’s getting late, should we rest here for the night?” Wen Qiulan, the steward of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild behind Wen Jingyi, suggested.

Wen Jingyi nodded, signaling everyone to rest on the spot, then noticed Yang Xiaotian and the other two by a campfire roasting meat and drinking wine. She hesitated a moment before walking over.

“Be careful, Elder,” Wen Qiulan said upon seeing this. “The origins of these three are unknown.”

Wen Jingyi waved her hand dismissively, “It’s fine.” Then she approached Yang

Xiaotian’s group by the campfire, clasped her fists in greeting, and said, “I am Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild. May I join the three of you for a drink?”

This was the first time Yang Xiaotian saw Wen Jingyi’s hearty side and laughed, “Are you not afraid we put poison in the wine and then rob you of your goods?” He then glanced in Wen Qiulan’s direction.

Wen Jingyi joked, “To rob goods, one would hardly send a child to do it. If that’s indeed the case, I consider myself rather lucky.”

Yang Xiaotian chuckled and pointed to an empty seat by the fire.

“Thank you.” Wen Jingyi took the offered seat.

Yang Xiaotian recognized Wen Jingyi, though she did not recognize him. After sitting down, she curiously observed the trio.

An old man on the brink of death, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence, and an adorable child—this combination was certainly strange.

And even stranger was that Xiaotian seemed to be the leader among them.

Her gaze fell on Xiaotian’s cute and handsome face, and she smiled, asking,

“Young master, where are you planning to go?”

“Royal City,” Xiaotian responded without concealing his destination and then took out a bottle of wine and threw it to Wen Jingyi.

Wen Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then boldly took a sip. Instantly, she felt a delicious taste fill her mouth. It was different from the fragrance of ordinary wine, and after drinking, her body felt warm all over.

Her eyes widened in surprise and she asked Yang Xiaotian, “Young master, what is this wine? It’s so delicious.’

During her management of the businesses in Xingyue City and Divine Sword

City, she would occasionally engage in social drinking, so she had a certain Imowledge of wines, yet she had never heard of such a wine in Divine Sea Country.

“I brewed it myself,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. “Regular consumption can strengthen the body and also enhance beauty.” He had added dozens of medicinal herbs to the wine.

All were prepared using ancient methods.

It could strengthen the body, boost True Qi, and indeed, it did have a beautifying effect.

Hearing the wine also had a beautifying effect, Wen Jingyi’s eyes brightened and she smiled, “A beautifying effect, too? Then I must savor this wine slowly.” Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

“If this wine truly has a beautifying effect, then it would be the only one in Divine Sea Country that does. If you, young master, were to open a tavern and sell this wine exclusively, it would surely be a hit,” she said.

Yang Xiaotian smiled, “This wine, made with dozens of medicinal herbs, is quite pricey, so much so that even ordinary nobility can’t afford it.” Therefore, trying to make money off this wine wasn’t feasible.

However, Wen Jingyi’s words had inspired him.

Perhaps, he could brew another type of wine, one that wasn’t so costly to produce yet still had beautifying and body-strengthening effects, and then sell it at a tavern he could open.

Although he was not short of money at the moment, the expenses for his growing number of followers were too great. He couldn’t always rely on alchemy to maintain his finances. Opening a tavern could indeed be a way to make money.

“Young Master seems somewhat familiar. I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before,” Wen Jingyi suddenly said with a smile.

The child before her indeed gave her a sense of familiarity.

As if she had seen him somewhere.

Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, “I am from Divine Sword City, and I have sold things at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild in Divine Sword City before.”

Wen Jingyi’s face lit up, as she smiled, “So you are from Divine Sword City. I knew I had seen the Young Master somewhere.”

About that, she didn’t think too much.

However, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was from Divine Sword City, Wen Jingyi felt an added sense of closeness.

Just as Wen Jingyi and Yang Xiaotian were engaging in a pleasant conversation, suddenly, a scream rang out. From a distance, within the thick weeds, a volley of sharp arrows shot out.

“An attack!” Wen Qiulan’s face changed, she exclaimed in alarm, “Quick, defend!”

All the guards of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild sprang to their feet and swung their sabers in unison.

Wen Jingyi was also startled, stood up, and drew her sword to cut down several arrows.

At that moment, another large volley of arrows shot out from the weeds, but the enemy remained unseen.

Wen Qiulan spoke furiously, “Who is it, come out!” At the same time, she pointed her long saber angrily at Yang Xiaotian and his two companions, “Our commerce guild moves in secrecy. It must have been you who followed us and leaked our movements. You’re with them!”

Yang Xiaotian glanced at her chest and said, “You should think before you speak, otherwise, it just proves ‘all chest, no brain.”‘

Wen Qiulan’s chest heaved in anger.

After dozens of arrow volleys, more than half of the thirty-something people from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were wounded. Then, the people hiding in the shadows emerged.

There were many of them, around fifty or sixty.

Seeing the assailants’ attire, Wen Jingyi’s pretty face turned pale, “The Blood Saber Gang.”

Yang Xiaotian was also somewhat surprised to see the Blood Saber Gang.

He had been planning to visit the lair of the Blood Saber Gang in Royal City to find another Heavenly Dragon Saber.

He hadn’t expected to encounter members of the Blood Saber Gang here.

A leader of the Blood Saber Gang, with a saber scar across his face, walked forward brandishing a large saber. Looking at Wen Jingyi and Wen Qiulan, he let out a lecherous laugh, “I didn’t expect to find two beautiful women here. Seems like tonight the brothers are in for a treat.”

Enraged, Wen Qiulan’s face turned crimson, “You Blood Saber Gang are quite audacious. Do you know we are from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild!”

The scar-faced leader rolled his eyes, sneered, and said, “Soon, you will know that not only are we, brothers of the Blood Saber Gang, courageous, but everything else is sizeable as well.”

The Blood Saber Gang burst into raucous laughter.

He leaped forward with his saber raised, aiming to strike Wen Jingyi and Wen Qiulan, while commanding his subordinates, “A few of you go and deal with those three pieces of trash.”

Motioning towards Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi’s group.

“Trash, huh?”

Hearing the other party refer to his group as trash, Yang Xiaotian chuckled.. With a flick of his hand, his fire stick transformed into a streak of light and instantly pierced the chest of a Blood Saber Gang member who was approaching!
