Chapter 39: Paying a Visit

The next day.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, stopping his mental cultivation.

Then he rubbed his forehead.

Suddenly, he spoke, "Xiaoxiao, come in!"

Outside the door, Shu Xiaoxiao's mouth slightly opened as she was about to knock.

"So impressive!"

Then she pushed open the door and came in front of Jiang Yuan, bowing, "Young Master, there are people outside seeking an audience."

Jiang Yuan's mind stirred.

He instantly sensed the two visitors at the door and felt somewhat surprised. It turned out to be them!

The young man from the third floor of Yunyan Tower yesterday and his bodyguard.

So he spoke, "Xiaoxiao, bring them to the courtyard!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

A moment later.

In the courtyard of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Jiang Yuan had just poured himself some tea when he heard footsteps.

The next moment, a young man appeared before Jiang Yuan.

He looked around seventeen or eighteen, with a handsome face that had a hint of femininity.

Behind him was a middle-aged man with an incredibly strong build, covered in various sizes of scars.

The young man saw Jiang Ning and instantly revealed a cheerful smile.

"Greetings, Brother Jiang. I am Wang Yue, the Prince of Beiyuan County. I have come today without an invitation, please forgive me."

The Prince of Beiyuan County?

Jiang Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He didn't have any information about the Wang family of Beiyuan County in his mind.

But judging from his expression, it seemed that he was proud of his royal birth.

He should be from a prominent family, otherwise, his bodyguard wouldn't be a cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Please, have a seat."

Wang Yue calmly sat down.

Jiang Yuan asked, "I wonder why Prince Wang suddenly came to visit today?"

Wang Yue cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, Brother Jiang, I have come here today mainly to apologize. I was impulsive yesterday!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, "It's alright! Your bodyguard's actions were to my liking!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue's eyes instantly revealed a curious look.

"I am a bit puzzled. Brother Jiang, are you at the Eighth Stage or the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering?"

"Eighth Stage!"

"Eighth Stage?" Wang Yue's expression changed, and he suddenly exclaimed.

The burly man behind him also had a change in his expression, his face becoming somewhat serious.

After just a moment, Wang Yue adjusted his expression.

He raised his teacup and said, "Truly worthy of being the young genius who has attracted the attention of the Sunset Sect. I offer a cup of tea instead of wine to Brother Jiang, wishing Brother Jiang a transcendent and extraordinary future, becoming a member of the Immortal Clan!"

Jiang Yuan also raised his cup and drank with him.

Looking at Wang Yue's sincere face, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Truly a scion of a great family, his demeanor and treatment of others were impeccable.

Even he felt that Wang Yue was a good person.

Just then, Wang Yue seemed to remember something.

"By the way!" he said, then took out an item from his pocket. "Brother Jiang, this is Su Xin's slave contract, her father was the former magistrate of Qinghe County and committed a major crime. She was implicated and reduced to slavery."

As he said this, he placed the slave contract in front of Jiang Yuan.

A smile appeared on his face. "Now, this slave contract that belongs to Su Xin is given to Brother Jiang. She will be at Brother Jiang's disposal, and her future is in Brother Jiang's hands."

Jiang Yuan held the slave contract belonging to Su Xin in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

This small piece of white paper determined Su Xin's future, a lifetime of slavery, with no chance of turning things around.

But for himself, this slave contract that determined her fate was just a tool used to show goodwill by someone else.

This is the change brought about by strength.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan's heart was filled with longing for the path of cultivation.

This road is infinitely beautiful, how can it not be fascinating.

Then, Jiang Yuan took the slave contract and gently stroked it with his palm.

In an instant, the contract turned into a pile of white debris, blown away by the wind.

"Admire, admire!" Wang Yue said, "Brother Jiang is indeed fond of beauty. Such a beautiful woman, Brother Jiang actually set her free. I thought Brother Jiang would keep her by his side as a forbidden treasure!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your kind words."

Wang Yue burst into laughter and said, "As long as I can help Brother Jiang!"

Then, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Yue took the opportunity to leave.

He knew very well the principle of not revealing too much in a shallow relationship!

Since he had sold a favor to Jiang Yuan, it was time to leave.

Outside the escort agency.

Just left Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Wang Yue's smile slowly disappeared.

"Ada, what do you think of this Jiang Yuan?"

"He's a remarkable person with unlimited potential! His cultivation at the eighth level of Body Tempering at his age is not particularly terrifying, but what's terrifying is that his martial intent can actually suppress me!"

Wang Yue nodded solemnly.

He knew Ada's strength after following him for so many years. Although he was not among the top experts in the ninth level of Body Tempering, he was still in the middle ranks.

Far from being weak.

But someone with such strength as Ada was actually suppressed by Jiang Yuan's martial intent yesterday.

In that case, it was terrifying!

The martial intent at the eighth level of Body Tempering being able to suppress the ninth level of Body Tempering, this was too exaggerated!

Fortunately, he had formed a good relationship with him, they were friends, not enemies.

The stronger Jiang Yuan became, the more beneficial it would be for him.

If he became extraordinary and became a member of the Immortal Clan in the future.

Just based on his actions today, the invisible benefits he would gain would be immeasurable.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Yue's face.

"Ada, prepare to return to Beiyuan County. Before leaving, remember to remind the person in control here, Su Xin from Yunyan Tower, not to make any mistakes!"

Ada nodded, "Understood!"

Black Wind Village.

Assembly Hall.

"The young master said that the token is fake!"

A mysterious man wearing a hood, his face unclear, said.

At this moment, Ning Buqi, the head of Black Wind Village, frowned.

"Fake? How is that possible? We robbed Zhenyuan Escort Agency together, and you were there at the time. How could he have had the opportunity to switch the token?"

The mysterious man said, "There is only one explanation, he had already switched it before we set off, or Zhenyuan Escort Agency originally sent a fake, and the real one has been secretly sent to the Su family in Luoshui County."

"Isn't that two explanations?" Ning Buqi asked in confusion.

The mysterious man: "."

After a moment, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued, "If Jiang Zhenyuan switched the goods, then it is highly likely that it is now in Jiang Yuan's hands in Lin'an County. Find a chance to capture him and force him to confess."

"But..."

"No buts! You have received the benefits from our young master, and you must handle this matter properly," the mysterious man said.

Ning Buqi immediately became annoyed and said, "Let me finish!"

"Go ahead!"

"But I can't enter Lin'an County now. Li Hong is a disciple of the Sunset Sect. If I dare to enter Lin'an County, it's the same as courting death with him there."

The mysterious man said, "No problem! Before I came, our young master investigated Li Hong. He will return to the sect in three to six months at the fastest, or at the slowest, one to two years. When he leaves, with your strength, you will naturally have the opportunity to enter Lin'an County."

"Alright!" Ning Buqi nodded, "After he leaves, I will sneak into Lin'an County and capture Jiang Yuan. Then I will know if he has taken this item."

The mysterious man nodded in satisfaction and disappeared from the Assembly Hall of Black Wind Village.

After seeing the mysterious man disappear.

Ning Buqi sneered, "An sect token, do you think that by obtaining it, you can become a disciple? Without enough talent, you will only be kicked out."
