Chapter 40: Leaving the City!

In the days that followed,

Jiang Yuan would occasionally go to Yunyan Tower to listen to music, as he was currently in the Nurturing Spirit stage.

He believed that he could become stronger by simply lying down, and that excessive effort was not of great significance.

Moreover, with Su Xin around, listening to her playing music could soothe his mind and heal his spiritual wounds.

This allowed Jiang Yuan to slightly accelerate his progress in the Nurturing Spirit stage.

Since that day, the entire Yunyan Tower knew that Su Xin was being protected by Jiang Yuan from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

She could live independently and rise above the mire without being tainted.

Her status became extremely special overnight because of Jiang Yuan's words.

Even the managers of Yunyan Tower would cater to her every request.

They directly moved her from a lower-class bedroom to an upper-class one.

And they assigned her two personal maids.

It should be noted that even contemporary courtesans could only have one personal maid to attend to their daily needs.

The fact that she could have two was enough to show her status.

In this situation,

The women of the brothel, who were already skilled at observing people's words and expressions, originally looked down on her, but now greeted her with smiles.

They dared not show any ill will.

Later, a legitimate son of the Liu family heard the rumors about Su Xin and Jiang Yuan.

Relying on having a powerful bodyguard by his side, he wanted to forcefully make Su Xin come out and play a tune for him, to experience the pleasure that Jiang Yuan had once enjoyed.

As a result, in less than a moment, envoys from the Four Seasons Trading Company arrived at Yunyan Tower.

They directly beat him until he vomited blood.

Originally, everyone thought they were in for a good show. After all, the Liu family was one of the three major families in Lin'an County.

In terms of power, they were much larger than the Four Seasons Trading Company.

But instead of retaliating against the envoy's actions, the Liu family, in an unusual move, did not take offense.

Instead, the severely injured Liu family scion was confined to his quarters for a month.

Later, it was heard that the head of the Liu family personally came to apologize to Jiang Yuan.

The astonishing result of this incident

made everyone understand even more the high status of Jiang Yuan.

But they didn't know that when the head of the Liu family heard about the decree from the Wang family's legitimate son,

he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

The Liu family was only a prominent family in Lin'an County, while the Wang family of Beiyuan County was a true behemoth.

They had countless experts at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering, and any one of them could wipe out the Liu family.

As for the head of the Wang family, he was an existence beyond the mundane. Although he was said to be old and frail, he still resided in the mortal world.

Like a needle that anchored the sea, he was stationed in Beiyuan County, ensuring the Wang family's unshakable position.

Faced with the decree of the Wang family's legitimate son, he didn't have the courage to disobey.

He immediately beat his own son again and then confined him to his quarters for a month.

Afterwards, he personally came to apologize to Jiang Yuan.

After this incident, Su Xin's status and position in Yunyan Tower became even more transcendent.

As for Shu Xiaoxiao, who followed Jiang Yuan closely and left Yunyan Tower,

they could only envy her.

They didn't even dare to approach her to say hello.

Because the gap in status between the two was too vast.

As the saying goes, "Three officials stand before the prime minister's gate."

And now, Jiang Yuan's position in Lin'an County was even higher than that of a prime minister.

In this situation, the status of his maidservant was naturally not to be underestimated.

Far beyond what Su Xin could compare to.

Yunyan Tower.

Number One in Heaven.

The sound of the qin gradually stopped.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Let's stop here for today!"

"Yes, Young Master Jiang!" Su Xin nodded gently with a tender gaze.

Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "From now on, I may not come here anymore."

"Huh? Why?" In that instant, Su Xin's eyes showed a hint of panic.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I need to leave the city to fulfill my father's last wishes."

He looked out the window, where there were undulating mountains in the distance.

Clouds and mist enveloped them.

Hei Feng Stronghold was located among those towering peaks.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the panic in Su Xin's eyes instantly calmed down.

"Then I will wait for the Young Master's next visit here."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and walked out of the private room.

"I don't know when the next time will be! There's no need to wait for me!"

"Oh, by the way! I have already destroyed your slave status. You are now a free person. As long as I'm fine, no one dares to touch you at Yunyan Tower. If you're not comfortable staying at Yunyan Tower, you can move out."

As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the Tianzi No. 1 private room.

Shu Xiaoxiao followed closely behind.

Su Xin watched their receding figures from behind, her lips moving slightly.

"I will wait!"

Then she looked at Shu Xiaoxiao, who was walking beside Jiang Yuan, with envy in her eyes.

"It's so nice to be able to be by his side!"

The next day.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Cultivation Level]: Eighth level of Body Tempering

[Innate Luck]: Boundless Longevity (purple), Dragon and Tiger Body (blue), Innate Talent (blue)

[Luck Power]: 78 strands

[Luck Seeds]: None

"It's been over a month again."

"It should be almost time to fulfill Jiang Zhenyuan's final will."

Jiang Yuan murmured softly.

During this month, he had been refining his martial arts true meaning to perfection.

On the other hand, Su Xin's qin music assisted in soothing his spirit, causing his energy and spirit to improve rapidly.

And not only that.

Under the nourishment of the blue Luck and the Dragon and Tiger Body, his strength had also increased by two to three times.

With all these factors combined, compared to himself over a month ago, he could easily suppress and overpower his opponents.

"Now it's time to resolve that cause and effect. There is no longer much meaning in delaying it further."

Jiang Yuan stood up.

After a moment.

In the hall of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"Young Master, why did you suddenly summon the two of us?" Old Ma spoke up.

Gu Mo also looked at Jiang Yuan with confusion.

Jiang Yuan took out a silk box about twenty centimeters in size.

"I am preparing to set off tomorrow to complete the escort that my father, Jiang Zhenyuan, did not finish. I will deliver this item to Su Yuan'er of the Su family in Luoshui County."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma's expression instantly brightened.

"Alright, should I go and prepare now?"

He took a few steps, then turned back. "Young Master, should we go on an open escort or a covert escort?"

"Of course it will be an open escort. There's no need to tarnish the reputation of Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"But..." Old Ma hesitated. "But the former Master was attacked during an open escort because he didn't choose a covert escort!"

Jiang Yuan said calmly, "I want it to be an open escort because I hope they will come! If they don't come, how can I avenge those deceased brothers and understand that grudge?"

He had previously asked Li Hong about the incident where Jiang Zhenyuan's escort was attacked.

At that time, Li Hong had only said one sentence, "There is someone behind the leader of the Black Wind Gang. That person is the mastermind. The reason the leader took action was because that person offered him a reward, a pill that could heal his injuries and restore him to his peak state."

Since then, Jiang Yuan knew that once he left the city, he would undoubtedly face more than one opponent.

To thoroughly understand this cause and effect, there were only two choices.

One was to make a big fuss and let them come to him.

The other was to personally investigate and find out the mastermind, then understand it completely.

For him, he preferred the first choice. There was no need to exert unnecessary effort as long as his strength was strong enough to eliminate all ghosts and demons.

He had also considered going on a covert escort and secretly completing this escort.

As long as he handed over this silk box to Su Yuan'er in Luoshui County, the mission would be considered complete.

In this way, he would also understand the cause and effect of his previous life and could pursue the most wonderful scenery in this world.

But he felt very uncomfortable!

Very uncomfortable indeed!

If there were no special circumstances, it would be fine!

But now he possessed such a miraculous panel and had such high talent.

To retreat in the face of opponents who had not yet surpassed the ordinary level felt very uncomfortable and completely unnecessary.

This time he left the city, although he didn't know how strong his opponents would be.

But being in the mortal world, the enemies he would attract by entrusting the transportation of goods to Zhenyuan Escort Agency would not exceed the ninth level of Body Tempering.

If that silk box could attract so-called immortals, then Jiang Zhenyuan would not have been qualified to transport this escort.

People from different worlds would not have any intersection, after all.

For Jiang Yuan at this moment, as long as the enemy had not yet surpassed the ordinary level, he had no fear.

With his current strength, he had the confidence.

Even if he couldn't win, he could retreat.

Since that was the case, there was no need to delay any longer.
