Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Out of the City! 1
Translator: 549690339
In the following days.
Jiang Yuan would occasionally go to Yunyan Pavilion to listen to some tunes, as he was in the stage of recuperation.
Being able to grow stronger while laying down, excessive effort seemed to carry little value.
Moreover, with Su Xin around, listening to her music could soothe his mind and heal emotional wounds.
It allowed Jiang Yuan to speed up his recuperation without much worry.
Since that day, everyone in Yunyan Pavilion knew, Su Xin was under the protection of Jiang Yuan from Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
She could guard herself from dirt whilst rising from the mud.
Her status overnight, because of Jiang Yuan’s words, became extremely special.
Even the manager of Yunyan Pavilion was at her service.
She was moved directly from the lower class bedrooms to the upper class ones.
And she was even served by two personal maids.
Just to know, even the current top courtesan could only have one personal maid to serve her.
But her being able to have two, was sufficient to show her status.
Under such circumstances.
The skillful courtesans, who were once disdainful of her, now greeted her with smiles.
They dared not show a hint of malevolence towards her.
Latter, a direct descendant of the Liu Family, after hearing rumors about Su
Xin and Jiang Yuan,
Taking advantage of his powerful guard and using wine as an excuse, he wanted Su Xin to play a song for him, to experience Jiang Yuan’s joy.
As a result, in no time at all, a ritual officer from the Four Seasons Merchants arrived at Yunyan Pavilion.
He directly attacked the man until he spat out blood.
Everyone originally thought it would be a good show, the Liu Family, after all, is one of the three big families in Lin’an County.
In terms of power, it is much greater than the Four Seasons Merchants.
Yet, when the ritual officer took him to the Liu Family, completely against conventional practices, the Liu Family did not object to his behavior.
Instead, the Liu Family’s young master, who was severely injured, was grounded for a month.
It was later heard that the head of the Liu Family apologized to Jiang Yuan in person.
Such a startling outcome.
Made them realize just how high Jiang Yuan’s status was.
But what they didn’t know was, when the head of the Liu Family heard the letter from Wang Family’s heir,
He was so scared that his legs got weak.
The Liu Family was just a wealthy family in Lin’an County, but the Wang Family in the North Plain Commandery, they were the real top dogs.
They had countless masters of the Body Forging Realm ninth level in their family, just one of such masters,
Could completely erase their Liu Family from existence.
As for the head of the Wang Family, he stood above the mundane world, even though he was old and decaying, he still existed.
Just like the Sea-calming Divine Needle, stationed in the North Plain Commandery, made the Wang Family’s position unshakeable.
In front of the letter from the heir of the Wang Family in the Plain
Commandery, he didn’t dare to object.
He even beat his own son up again right away and grounded him for a month.
And then went to apologize to Jiang Yuan in person.
After this incident happened, Su Xin’s status in Yunyan Pavilion became even more special.
As for Shu Xiaoxiao, who left Yunyan Pavilion and was by Jiang Yuan’s side,
They could only watch with envy.
Not daring to even come forward and greet her.
Because the gap in status between them was too great.
Just as the saying goes, in front of the prime minister’s house, even third rank officials bow their heads.
And Jiang Yuan’s status in Lin’an County was even higher than that of a prime minister.
In such a situation, the status of his maid would naturally be no ordinary matter.
Far beyond what Su Xin could match.
Yunyan Pavilion.
Number One Room.
The sound of the zither gradually came to a halt.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
“Let’s call it a day!”
“Yes, Young Master Jiang!” Su Xin gave a gentle nod.
Jiang Yuan got up and said, “I might not come here anymore?”
“Ah? Why?”
For a moment, there was a hint of panic in Su Xin’s eyes.
Jiang Yuan gave a smile, “I should leave the city for a while, to fulfill my father’s last wish.’
His gaze turned to the window, looking at the undulating distant mountains.
Cloud mist swirling around them.
The Black Wind Tribe was located in those towering mountains.
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, the panic in Su Xin’s eyes quickly calmed down.
“Then I will wait here for your next visit.”
Jiang Yuan waved his hand and walked out of the private room.
“Who knows when the next time will be! Don’t wait for me!”
“Oh, right! I have destroyed your slave registration. You are now a free man. As long as I don’t get into trouble, no one at Yunyan Pavilion would dare to harm you, and if you don’t feel comfortable staying at Yunyan Pavilion, you can move out,” said Jiang Yuan.
As he was speaking, he already stepped out of the first-class private room.
Shu Xiaoxiao followed right behind him.
From behind them, Su Xin watched as their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, her lips moving slightly.
“I must wait!”
Then she glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao, who was beside Jiang Yuan, her eyes full of envy.
“How wonderful it is to be by his side!”
The next day.
Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
[Name]: Jiang Yuan
[Realm]: Body Forging Realm Eighth Level
[Innate Fate]: Infinite life (purple), Dragon-Tiger Body (blue), Innate Wisdom
Root (blue)
[Qi Yun Power]: 78 strands [Luck Seed]: None
“More than a month has passed.”
“It should be about time, it’s time to fulfill Jiang Zhenyuan’s last will.” Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.
In the past month, under the perfect training of martial arts true intent.
With the assistance of Su Xin’s piano tunes, which helped soothe his spirit and improve his mental state, his strength had increased rapidly.
Not only that.
Under the cultivation of that blue luck qi, the Dragon-Tiger Body, his physical strength also increased by 20% to 30%.
With all these improvements, compared to himself more than a month ago.
He could easily suppress his enemies. His strength had increased by several times.
“Now it’s time to resolve that karma. There’s no longer much point in further delay.”
Jiang Yuan got up.
A moment later.
In the hall of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
“Young Master, why have you suddenly summoned us?” Old Ma asked.
Gu MO was also looking at Jiang Yuan with confusion.
Jiang Yuan took out a brocade box of about twenty centimeters in size.
“I plan to set off tomorrow, to finish the escort mission that my father failed to complete. This item is to be delivered to Su Yuan’er from the Su Family in
Luoshui Commandery.”
Upon hearing this, Old Ma’s expression immediately lit up.
“That’s good, I’ll go ahead and start preparing now?”
He had just taken two steps away when he turned around and asked, “Young Master, are we going to deliver openly or secretly?”
“Of course it has to be out in the open. There’s no need to undermine the reputation of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.”
“But…” Old Ma looked hesitant, “But it was the fact that the old master didn’t choose to deliver secretly that landed us with strong robbers!”
Jiang Yuan said solemnly, “I want to go for an open delivery, precisely because I hope they will come! If they don’t come, how can I avenge my brothers who have died, or understand the hatred?”
Before, he had asked Li Hong about the incident where Jiang Zhenyuan’s escort was attacked.
At the time, Li Hong only replied, “There’s someone behind the Grand Master of the Black Wind Tribe. That person is the real instigator. The reason why their Grand Master took action was that the reward offered by that person was too tempting, an elixir that could heal his injuries and restore him to his peak.”
Since then, Jiang Yuan has known that once he leaves the city, his opponents will not only be just one.
In order to fully understand this karma, there are only two options.
The first is to act in a high-profile manner, letting them come on their own.
The second is to investigate by himself, figure out the main plotter behind, then fully understand.
Given these two choices, he prefers the first one, where there’s no unnecessary effort required. As long as his strength is enough, all demons can be cleared.
He had also contemplated completing the mission secretly.
As long as he delivered this brocade box to Su Yuan’er who was far away in the Luoshui Commandery, the mission would be accomplished.
By doing so it would also count as resolving the karma of his predecessor, allowing him to experience the most exciting sceneries of this world.
But he felt very displeased!
Extremely displeased!
If it weren’t for his extraordinary circumstances, that would be fine!
But now, with such an amazing status panel and high talents…
…facing enemies who have yet to transcend the mortal realm, withdrawing would seem very displeasing, and utterly unnecessary.
For this trip out of the city, although he doesn’t know how strong his opponents are.
In the realm of mortals, those who could afford to hire the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and attract such strong enemies, are unlikely to exceed the ninth level of the Body Forging Realm.
If the brocade box could attract the so-called immortals, then Jiang Zhenyuan wouldn’t be qualified to escort it.
People from different worlds wouldn’t cross paths, would they?
For Jiang Yuan at this moment, as long as the enemy has not transcended, he is not afraid.
With his current abilities, he has confidence.
Even if he can’t win, he could at least escape.
With this being the case, there’s no need to delay any further..
