Free Web NovelChapter 605: Chapter 165: Arrival at the Xie Clan Trading Company! True Power Beyond Measure_3
But on the surface, the Imperial City is still very peaceful right now.
No matter how many things happen, they can’t affect Ye Liuyun.
The three days are up.
The carriage Xie Ling’Er prepared was already parked outside Ye Liuyun’s residence, waiting for him.
When she saw Ye Liuyun walking out from his residence, Xie Ling’Er immediately got down from the carriage, her face beaming with a smile as she greeted him.
"Sir!"
"Well prepared!"
Glancing at the convoy behind Xie Ling’Er, Ye Liuyun nodded approvingly.
Xie Ling’Er never lacked for money, so the carriage she arranged was exceedingly spacious and luxurious, with several more following behind. After all, the Xie Clan’s main house was still some distance from Great Qian.
There’s no way they could just set out unprepared.
If they had to camp in the wild along the way, they couldn’t rely solely on hunting for food, could they?
"Rest assured, sir. Along the way, we have the guards from the Xie Clan’s merchant company as escorts. There will be absolutely no problems!"
Though with Ye Liuyun’s strength, even if enemies appeared, they definitely wouldn’t be his match.
But it’s not as if Ye Liuyun should have to handle every little matter himself, right?
Wouldn’t that make the Xie Clan’s merchant company look utterly incompetent?
Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement.
He did not say much more, but turned to look at Xing’Er inside the residence.
"I’ll be away for a while. If anything urgent comes up, you can go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
With his position in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, even if he wasn’t in the Imperial City, no one would dare make any untoward moves.
"Alright!"
Xing’Er nodded seriously.
There was still some worry between her brows.
Even knowing how powerful Ye Liuyun was, Xing’Er couldn’t help but worry.
"Don’t worry."
Seeing Xing’Er like this, Ye Liuyun smiled gently.
He waved his hand, signaling Xing’Er to go back inside.
Then he stepped onto the carriage Xie Ling’Er had prepared. This time, heading to the Xie Clan’s main house, Ye Liuyun had no intention of bringing any servants—there was simply no need.
If danger did arise,
his own strength would be more than enough. There was no need to depend on anyone else.
When Ye Liuyun boarded the carriage, Xie Ling’Er immediately waved to her people, then followed him inside and departed.
However, before stepping in, she still turned to glance at Xing’Er.
Xing’Er noticed Xie Ling’Er, but simply smiled and gave her a slight curtsey, saying nothing.
No matter who was by Ye Liuyun’s side, as long as she herself had a place in his heart, that was enough for Xing’Er.
"That elder sister is so gentle. I was worried I’d be disliked by her."
After boarding the carriage, Xie Ling’Er sat down next to Ye Liuyun, teasing with a smile.
But—
that was truly how Xie Ling’Er felt. After all, she came into Ye Liuyun’s life later. If other women disliked her, Xie Ling’Er really wouldn’t know what to do.
Though she was confident in her own looks...
But one must remember,
there is never a shortage of young, beautiful women under heaven.
This little advantage is nothing at all.
Xie Ling’Er’s little thoughts were obvious to Ye Liuyun.
He simply glanced at her and said,
"Don’t worry, I know Xing’Er’s character very well. As long as you obey, that’s enough."
Ye Liuyun was never concerned about whether his women harbored schemes or ambitions.
As long as they were obedient, he didn’t care about the rest.
Constantly growing stronger—isn’t it just to do as one pleases?
If, after all that, you still have to worry over everything, afraid of this and that, then what’s the point of striving so hard for power?
"Doesn’t sir already know what I’m like? I’m the most obedient, after all!"
Hearing Ye Liuyun say this,
Xie Ling’Er quickly took his arm, her voice sweet as honey.
"Ha!"
Hearing that, Ye Liuyun just laughed aloud and said nothing more.
It wasn’t that he believed Xie Ling’Er was so in love with him,
he simply believed that Xie Ling’Er was a smart woman, and a smart woman always knows what to choose.
...
The main house of the Xie Clan’s merchant company—
was even farther than Ye Liuyun had imagined. Fortunately, the caravan wasn’t large.
Even riding hard, it still took seven or eight days before they finally arrived.
Ye Liuyun felt quite at ease. With such a journey, he wouldn’t miss the Heaven Worship Grand Ceremony. If he missed such a festive event, it would be a shame.
"So this is the Xie family?"
This was no longer the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, nor did it belong to any dynasty.
Of the Fourteen States of the World, it’s impossible for every place to be under a dynasty’s control. Some lands are ruled by sects or forces of the martial world—the Xie family’s domain was one such place.
The Xie family ruled over dozens of miles around.
As one of the top merchant companies under heaven, the strength of the Xie family was not weak—indeed, it could rival the top sects of the martial world.
Even without counting the various martial artists the Xie family had befriended over the years, the Xie family itself had Grandmasters stationed here—more than one, in fact. As for Grandmasters, there were even more.
In addition, the Xie family was known for making friends widely.
Even dynasties, if they were tempted to swallow up the Xie family’s lands, would have to reconsider.
"What do you think—not bad, right?"
Seeing Ye Liuyun step down from the carriage, gazing in awe at the Xie family gates, Xie Ling’Er laughed softly at his side.
After all, being the master of dozens of miles around—
