Chapter 85: The Sixteenth Chapter – All Aspects Converge

In the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Linglong was still waiting for news about He Youzhou.

If He Youzhou were to come to the chamber of commerce, Zhao Linglong would definitely welcome him personally.

And she believed that He Youzhou would come, after all, not long ago, she had learned of He Youzhou’s route through her own sources.

Wasn’t that the route heading towards the chamber of commerce? Indeed, this exhibition had a great attraction for him.

“Cui’er, is there any news about Young Master He?” As time passed by, Zhao Linglong began to feel a bit anxious.

Logically speaking, He Youzhou should have already arrived nearby, and her subordinates would guide He Youzhou to the chamber of commerce.

“Master, it seems that Young Master He does not intend to come to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.” Cui’er said respectfully.

Through the sparrows, she had discovered He Youzhou’s recent movements—He Youzhou was preparing to leave Wolf City.

“What?” Zhao Linglong was shocked, almost losing her elegant demeanor, “Why isn’t Young Master He coming?”

“He is leaving Wolf City with a young girl.” Cui’er said.

“A young girl?” Zhao Linglong was puzzled.

Cui’er quietly raised her eyelids and said, “It seems to be the girl who wants to take Young Master He as her master. They are probably preparing to return to their sect.”

Zhao Linglong was stunned for a few seconds, then fell into deep thought.

Originally, she thought that inviting only He Youzhou would be enough to prevent any accidents, but she didn’t expect this to happen.

Because in her heart, Zhishi was her number one competitor.

This unexpected turn of events was really hard for her to accept.

“Keep Young Master He here, no matter what, keep him here.” Zhao Linglong pulled open the curtain, looking solemnly at her maid.

Cui’er was surprised to see the curtain being opened, as her master usually didn’t bother to open it.

Even when facing her confidants, Zhao Linglong would stay behind the drawn curtain.

“Cui’er understands.” Cui’er lowered her head. In this short day, she had seen her master act differently several times.

It seemed that Young Master He indeed held a significant place in her master’s heart.

Love makes people blind, the ancients did not deceive me.

However, Cui’er really wanted to tell her master that her way of pursuing He Youzhou was somewhat wrong.

The quickest way to win him over was actually to go to the gate of Tianyan Sect and shout, “I want to join Tianyan Sect.”

With his hands folded in his sleeves, He Youzhou blinked a few times as he watched Lin Qingxue help an old man up from the ground.

“Qingxue, don’t you find it strange?” he asked.

“Senior, what’s strange about it?” Lin Qingxue, who had just bid farewell to the old man with a smile, turned to look at He Youzhou.

“In fact, if we hurry, we can leave Wolf City in a little over an hour,” He Youzhou said.

Cultivators’ speed is always a bit faster than ordinary people, so theoretically, he and Lin Qingxue should have left Wolf City long ago.

“That’s true.” Lin Qingxue nodded, estimating the time in her mind to be about the same.

“But now the sun is almost setting, why haven’t we left Wolf City yet?” He looked at the sunset above, his eyes filled with confusion.

“Come to think of it, it does seem a bit odd.” Lin Qingxue now realized that they had wasted quite a bit of time.

Along the way, they encountered various incidents.

For example, some important person was traveling, causing the entire road to be blocked.

For example, someone on the street had their belongings stolen and clung to their legs, begging them to catch the thief.

Or, like just now, an old man was lying in the middle of the road, barely alive, and could be run over by a carriage at any moment.

Of course, if they ignored these things, they wouldn’t have been delayed.

But Lin Qingxue, by nature, couldn’t stand by and do nothing, so she wasted a lot of time helping others.

“Sorry, Senior, it seems I’m too much of a good person.” Lin Qingxue blushed with shame. She had wasted so much of the senior’s time and must have lost many points in his mind.

Although Lin Qingxue had experienced many things and was no longer as naive as before, she had only slightly improved.

“It’s not entirely your fault.” He Youzhou shook his head. “Several times, the roads we needed to take were blocked or closed.”

“At this hour, it seems we won’t be able to return to Tianyan Sect before nightfall.” He sighed.

The only way to get back now was to hang his collar on the scabbard and let his elder brother fly him back.

But he could fly, while Lin Qingxue, whose cultivation was completely wasted, could not.

“Senior, didn’t you want to visit the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce? Since we can’t go back now, why not go to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce?” Lin Qingxue remembered the senior’s business and quickly suggested.

“Ah, you’re right.” He Youzhou weighed it in his mind and felt that Lin Qingxue was correct.

Since they couldn’t return to Tianyan Sect for the apprenticeship ceremony, they might as well take a look at what the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce was all about.

“Alas.” He sighed dejectedly.

Unfortunately, he was more concerned about taking on a disciple than the Yunshang Exhibition.

“Excuse me, how do you get to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce?” Suddenly, a deep voice called out to He Youzhou.

He Youzhou turned to look at the person who called him, not answering immediately.

The person was wearing a hooded cloak that wrapped around his entire body, making him look bulky.

And upon closer inspection, it was evident that he was wearing not just one hooded cloak, but another one underneath.

Like a nesting doll, the person was wearing two cloaks, which seemed inexplicable.

Even if he was afraid of the cold, he shouldn’t be dressed like this.

Not just one person was dressed like this; the few companions behind the person asking the question were also wearing two cloaks.

The only difference between these people was probably their body shapes.

“I don’t know the specifics, but I know it’s in this direction,” He Youzhou pointed the way and said.

“Thank you,” the cloaked figure with a very bulky body thanked He Youzhou in an unpleasant voice.

Then, these people grouped together and walked in the direction He Youzhou had indicated.

Their slowly moving figures were like a group of camels strolling in the desert.

“Senior, it looks like we’re going the same way. Shouldn’t we go to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce with them?” Lin Qingxue asked.

Actually, since everyone was going to the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce, they could have traveled together.

“No,” He Youzhou shook his head, staring at the backs of those people, “We can walk slowly, there’s no rush.”

He withdrew his gaze and murmured, “Hundred forms return to one, it’s still here.”
