Chapter 40: Out of the City!

In the days that followed,

Jiang Yuan occasionally went to Yunyan Tower to listen to the melodies, as he was in a stage of recuperation.

Lying down, he could grow stronger, and excessive effort was not particularly meaningful.

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

It allowed Jiang Yuan to accelerate his recuperation with a bit more peace of mind.

Since that day, the whole Yunyan Tower knew that Su Xin was under the protection of Jiang Yuan of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

She could keep herself pure and unstained.

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

Even the managers of Yunyan Tower would fulfill her requests without fail.

They even moved her from the lower-class bedroom to the high-class one.

And they assigned two personal maids to her.

You must know, even the current most popular courtesans only have one personal maid for daily life.

That she could have two showed her status.

Under these circumstances,

The courtesans, who were inherently adept at discerning expressions and attitudes, who used to look down on her, now all greeted her with smiles.

They dared not show any malice.

Later, a legitimate son from the Liu Family, hearing the rumors about Su Xin and Jiang Yuan,

Relying on the strong bodyguard at his side, and fueled by alcohol, he tried to force Su Xin to play a song for him, hoping to experience the joy that Jiang Yuan once had.

However, in less than a moment, a patron from the Four Seasons Trading Company arrived at Yunyan Tower.

He directly attacked Liu's son, beating him until he spat blood.

Originally, everyone thought there would be a good show, as the Liu Family was one of the three major families in Lin'an County.

In terms of power, it was much bigger than the Four Seasons Trading Company.

However, after the patron took Liu's son to the Liu Family, the Liu Family reacted unusually, not holding the patron accountable for his actions.

Instead, Liu's son, who had been seriously injured, was grounded for a month.

There were rumors that the Liu Family's head even went to apologize to Jiang Yuan.

Such an unexpected result shocked everyone,

Making them even more aware of Jiang Yuan's high status.

But what they didn't know was that when the head of the Liu Family heard the order from the legitimate son of the Wang Family,

He was so frightened that his legs went soft.

The Liu Family was just a powerful family in Lin'an County, while the Northern Plains Wang Family was a true behemoth.

They had countless experts at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, and any one of them could completely wipe out the Liu Family.

As for the head of the Wang Family, he was a being beyond the mortal realm. Though he was old and frail, he was still in this world.

He was like a sea-stabilizing needle stationed in the Northern Plains, ensuring the stability of the Wang Family.

Faced with the order from the Wang Family's legitimate son, he didn't dare not listen.

He even beat his own son again before grounding him for a month.

And then he personally went to apologize to Jiang Yuan.

After this incident, Su Xin of Yunyan Tower had an even higher status.

As for Shu Xiaoxiao, who left Yunyan Tower to be by Jiang Yuan's side,

They could only envy her.

They didn't even dare to approach her and greet her.

Because the status gap between them was too vast.

As the saying goes, "Even a third-rank official holds great power at the prime minister's gate."

Jiang Yuan's current status in Lin'an County is even higher than that of a prime minister.

Under these circumstances, the status of his maidservant is naturally significant.

Far beyond what Su Xin could compare to.

Yunyan Tower.

The first suite.

The sound of the zither gradually ceased.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Let's call it a day!"

"Yes, Master Jiang!" Su Xin gently nodded.

Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "I might not come here anymore."

"Why?"

At that moment, there was a hint of panic in Su Xin's eyes.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "I need to leave the city for a bit to fulfill my father's last wish."

His gaze turned to the window, where distant mountains rose and fell.

Clouds and mist were wrapped around them.

Blackwind Stockade was located among those towering peaks.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the panic in Su Xin's eyes quickly subsided.

"Then I will wait here for your next visit."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and walked out of the suite.

"I don't know when the next time will be. You don't have to wait for me!"

"Oh, by the way! Your servitude has been abolished by me, you are now free. As long as I'm fine, no one in Yunyan Tower would dare to touch you. If you're not used to living here, you can move out."

As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the first suite.

Shu Xiaoxiao was following closely behind.

Suxin watched their figures gradually recede, her lips moving slightly.

"I will wait!"

Then she looked at Shu Xiaoxiao following Jiang Yuan, her eyes full of envy.

"It must be nice to be by his side!"

The next day.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Body Forging 8th Stage (Spirit Nurturing)

[Innate Destiny]: Longevity Unbounded (Purple), Body of Dragon and Tiger (Blue), Innate Wisdom Root (Blue)

[Destiny Power]: 78 strands

[Destiny Seed]: None

"Another month has passed."

"It should be about time to fulfill Jiang Zhenyuan's last will."

Jiang Yuan murmured softly.

Over the past month, under the refining of the perfect martial intent.

And on the other side, Su Xin's zither music helped to soothe his spirit, resulting in a rapid increase in his vitality and spirit.

Furthermore.

Under the nourishment of the blue destiny of the Dragon-Tiger Body.

His physical strength has increased by two to three times.

All of these factors combined make him significantly stronger than he was a month ago.

"It's about time to resolve that karma. There's no point in delaying it any longer."

Jiang Yuan stood up.

A moment later.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency's main hall.

"Young master, what's the purpose of calling us here so suddenly?" Old Ma asked.

Gu Mo also looked at Jiang Yuan with confusion.

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

"I plan to leave tomorrow to finish the escort mission my father didn't finish, and deliver this item to Su Yuanyi of the Su family in Luoshui County."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma's face lit up with joy.

"Good, I'll start preparing now?"

He took two steps, then turned back: "Young master, are we going with an open or hidden escort?"

"Of course an open escort, we don't need to tarnish the reputation of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"But..." Old Ma hesitated: "But the old master fell into trouble because he didn't use the hidden escort, which led to the encounter with strong robbers!"

Jiang Yuan replied solemnly: "I choose the open escort because I want them to come! If they don't come, how can I avenge my fallen brothers, and how can I resolve this grudge?"

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

At that time, Li Hong only said one thing: "There's someone behind the leader of Blackwind Stockade. That person is the real mastermind. The reason why the leader took action was that he couldn't refuse the reward that person offered him, a pill that could heal his injuries and return him to his peak state."

Since then, Jiang Yuan knew that once he left the city, there would be more than one enemy.

To fully understand this karma, there are only two choices.

The first is to make a big fuss and let them come to him.

The second is to investigate personally, find out who is behind the scenes, and then fully understand.

Among these two choices, he prefers the first one. It requires no effort, and as long as he is strong enough, he can clear all obstacles.

He had also considered the option of a hidden escort and secretly complete this mission.

As long as he delivered the brocade box to Su Yuanyi in Luoshui County, the mission would be considered complete.

In this way, he would also resolve the karma from his previous life, and could pursue the most exciting sights in this world.

But he felt very unsatisfied!

Extremely unsatisfied!

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

But now, with such a magical panel and high talent.

Facing some enemies who have not yet transcended, he should retreat. This felt unsatisfactory and totally unnecessary.

As for this trip out of the city, although he didn't know how strong the enemy was.

But being in the mortal world, the enemy attracted by the goods entrusted to Zhenyuan Escort Agency could be no more than the Ninth Layer of the Forging Body Realm.

If that brocade box could attract a so-called immortal, then Jiang Zhenyuan wouldn't have qualified to escort it.

People from different worlds wouldn't cross paths, right?

For Jiang Yuan at this time, as long as the enemy has not transcended, he is fearless.

With his current strength, he had this confidence.

Even if he was defeated, he could retreat.

Given that, there's no need to delay any longer.
