Protect Our Chief

Jiang Xingyuan was momentarily stunned, then readily agreed: "Alright. Let’s treat it as a journey."

He left the Immortal Palace this time precisely to broaden his horizons through travel, and anywhere would suffice. Although the East Qian Kingdom is a bit far, with Gongyang Strategy, his brother, along for the journey, there was no reason not to go.

"Xingyuan, your carefree nature is as spontaneous as ever," Han Langtai couldn’t help but laugh. "You guys make me want to join you. Alas, I have a lot of family affairs to manage and can’t accompany you. When you reach the East Qian, don’t forget to send me a letter about the legendary Patriarch there, and tell me if he’s truly formidable."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Gongyang Strategy and Jiang Xingyuan also laughed: "Rest assured, brother, we won’t forget you."

When in good spirits, time always flies by.

Amidst their laughter, the Flying Chariot driver reminded them: "We’re approaching Dusk Moon Prefecture City. Gentlemen, please get ready, we’re about to land."

As they arrived at Dusk Moon Prefecture City, Gongyang Strategy suddenly felt a rush of excitement.

It wouldn’t be long before the Yao Air Transport’s Cloud Ray Flying Ship would pass through Dusk Moon, marking his official return to Lingyun Sacred Land.

To talk of it, he owed a great thanks to Wang Shouzhe.

Wang helped him realize his immature and overly arrogant nature, and without him, he wouldn’t have settled down in the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty for both travel and cultivation. During that time, he encountered some mystical experiences and made many like-minded friends.

Particularly one mystical experience furthered the growth of his bloodline, elevating him to the level of Great Celestial Pride Grade B.

Wang Liyao, although outstanding, was also at the level of Great Celestial Pride Grade B. For he was older, he had significant advantages in cultivation and mindset, so the outcome this time was uncertain.

...

Ten days later.

The Yao Air Transport’s Cloud Ray Flying Ship arrived as scheduled, its immense hull landing in the airport on the outskirts of Dusk Moon Prefecture City, beginning the bustling loading and unloading of goods.

Compared to the previous period of traveling to East Qian every ten years.

In recent years, Yao Air Transport increased the frequency of trips to East Qian to once every three years.

The reason was simple, for there was profit to be made.

Previously, Daqian’s demand for Immortal Dynasty’s goods wasn’t very high; after all, the Dynasty’s goods were pricey, and things they could produce themselves, they did so. Otherwise, they just made do.

The main business targets were the East Qian Imperial Family, the Second-Grade Zhao Family, and a few Third-Grade Noble Families. The goods brought back each time were often rudimentary processed materials, barely fetching much money.

But now, with the addition of Changning Wang Family as a business partner, everything changed.

Changning Wang Family cultivated some high-quality Spirit Rice species. Although not matching the high-tier species within some Immortal Dynasty families in grade and quality, they held price advantages, ultimately yielding substantial profit for both Yao and Wang families.

Moreover, some small products from Wang’s were also well-received, such as mirrors, glass tableware, various articles, and especially large-pane glass materials.

In recent years, the glass bottle wine launched by Emperor’s Son An in cooperation with Wang Family also gained a market share.

With substantial profits on both the outbound and return trips, the East Qian route naturally attracted Yao’s keen interest.

With the Cloud Ray Flying Ship fully loaded with goods.

Those heading to East Qian could board the ship.

As Yao increased the frequency of flights to East Qian, ticket prices dropped significantly, and gradually, some less successful Noble Family Descendants or High-tier Loose Cultivators from the Immortal Dynasty considered trying their luck in East Qian.

Thus, Yao decided to modify the Cloud Ray Flying Ship heading to East Qian, partitioning rooms of various qualities and selling the tickets at different prices.

"Three tickets, one Heaven class single room, one Heaven class double room." Wang Lici and her two disciples arrived early in the morning at the Cloud Ray Flying Ship to buy tickets.

"Each ticket costs one thousand Immortal Crystals, room and board aren’t included, bunks provided. Heaven class single room, one thousand Immortal Crystals, double room, fifteen hundred Qian Gold, totaling fifty-five hundred Immortal Crystals."

"So expensive? Why don’t you just rob?" Wang Lici’s eyes widened, as it amounted to five hundred fifty thousand Qian Gold. The most outrageous part was the high-priced ticket didn’t include food.

"Too expensive, too expensive, Sister Lici, why don’t we take the sea route, then slowly make our way back?" Lan Wan’er chimed in support.

"Eh, it’s you guys?"

A chubby middle-aged shopkeeper, overhearing the commotion, came over from behind the ticketing staff. Upon seeing Wang Lici and Lan Wan’er, his expression instantly changed.

"Who are you?"

The chubby shopkeeper’s voice quivered with anger: "You two little girls hurt me, and you’ve forgotten this shopkeeper? Remember the five wolf cubs you shipped?"

"Oh, it’s you... the chubby, greasy middle-aged shopkeeper uncle." Wang Lici and Lan Wan’er suddenly realized, recalling him, "Uncle, weren’t you a branch shopkeeper? Why are you running the ship now?"

"It’s because of you two girls." The moment the chubby shopkeeper mentioned it, tears of frustration fell, "The wolf cubs you sent with me, woo, they made such a mess of me, a real mess. When Young Master Chengchao returned, he directly revoked my branch shopkeeper position, making me work on ships to repay the debt~~ not allowed back home until it’s cleared, my dear wife, my little ones..."
