This afternoon, Yuchi will be conversing with Zhou Xingcai and two other clothing families in Jiangzhou City. Unlike how the clothing in Xufu Town is controlled by six families, Jiangzhou City, with its large scale, is dominated by only three families. Monopoly? Well, it also aligns with the trend of economic development. As social classes ascend, power and wealth become highly concentrated. Six families in Xufu Town, three families in Jiangzhou City, then there might be only one family ruling over the gigantic forces in Jiangzhou City. In the end, it’s still the same imperial game. Regarding today’s meal with these people, Yuchi thinks it’s better not to bring Wei Qingzhu to witness any potential disgraceful events, who knows what might happen. Honestly, if Zhou Xingcai were to force him to pound garlic and cook together, he feels it might be more appropriate to handle it alone. "Qingzhu is inherently mature, if she’s pulled into things , who knows what consequences there could be." "Earlier, I could sense some grudges between Qingzhu and Zhou Xingcai, only she understood the bigger picture and didn’t mention it." "I still need to consider her feelings, don’t want things to end up worse when I was supposed to be taking her out for fun." He thought for a moment. Looking at the beautiful young girl standing in front of him, Yuchi smiled and instructed, "Qingzhu, today you can go wander around with Miss Xun." He gave her a silver note. Although he’s quite stingy with himself, he’s generous to those around him. Wei Qingzhu nervously accepted the silver note, a faint layer of surprise spreading across her bright and clear face. And before Qingzhu could answer, Yuchi already looked towards Xun Xian. "Miss Xun, if there’s anything you’d like to eat, you can take Qingzhu with you." "This amount of silver should be enough for you two to enjoy a whole day." Feeling Yuchi’s honest smile, Xun Xian glanced at him meaningfully. This guy must have some improper intentions towards Zhou Xingcai... Xun Xian already looked at Yuchi with eyes that saw through everything. "Anyway, I’m too lazy to bother with those family people, with Qingzhu by my side, you can be completely at ease." "Even if I get lost, she won’t have any trouble." Jiangzhou City, Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, Patrol from the Defense Department, these three together, fearing any danger? Yuchi warmly looked at Qingzhu, "Go out and have fun with your sister Xun." "If you see something you like, just buy it." "If money is temporarily insufficient, you can ask your sister Xun to advance it, I’ll compensate her when I return tonight." "Understood." Wei Qingzhu still wanted to go with Yuchi, but she agreed to her elder brother’s request. Originally, there was a pair of scissors hidden in her sleeve. Let someone like Zhou Xingcai live one more day. The two left the inn one after the other, leaving Yuchi alone tidying his attire in front of a bronze mirror. Jiangzhou City itself doesn’t have any clothing workshops, all the clothes are sent over from clothing towns like Xufu Town. So today at noon I will face three shopkeepers distributing clothes. Zhou Xingcai from the Zhou Family, Fang Xiang from the Fang Family, and Wu Shi from the Wu Family. These three people combined are precisely the three giants of Jiangzhou City. If I can build some relationships, that would be great, but if not, there’s no need to be anxious. Currently, for Jiangzhou City, my Xufu Town business association is nothing more than a small pawn. They won’t think much of me. Even Zhou Xingcai, jokingly, is just greedy for my appearance. Never thought one day I’d have a girl being attracted to my body. Looking at the gradually calming young face in the bronze mirror, Yuchi took a deep breath and then left. "Hope everyone is safe." He clasped his hands together. Going around and around. This time not going to Drunken Moon Tower where the courtesans are, not just because of the high prices. Recently, Yuchi has already spent a lot of gold and silver, luckily there’s the casino’s generous contributions, otherwise it would really be tough. Changed the location to the Zhou Family, which is where Zhou Xingcai’s family is. Inviting an outsider to one’s home for a meal is already considered a rather good hospitality. But is it really the case? "Feels like a grand banquet for sinister purposes." No matter how incompetent the Four Major Institutions are, at least they show some martial virtues on the surface. They’d choose a public place. But Zhou Xingcai doesn’t seem like one who respects martial virtues, let alone going to someone else’s home. Who knows if there are any Cultivators present? To be on the safe side, Yuchi painfully bought an elixir to conceal his Spiritual Qi. Each elixir costs a thousand points. Taking the elixir can resist others’ intrusive inspections, as long as their strength doesn’t surpass his, they won’t be able to detect him. "Also bring a gift, since after all, it’s visiting someone’s home, unlike eating out." "No need for gold and silver treasures, that’s wastage, just buy a pot of wine." Carrying this pot of wine, he had already arrived outside the Zhou Family’s gate. The Zhou Family is located on one side of a wide avenue, with two servants guarding the entrance. The street is bustling, with a noticeable atmosphere of elegance in this area. Didn’t expect there to be a rich district in Jiangzhou City, the surrounding buildings seem much more splendid. The exterior decorations on the buildings also appear classy, with various musical instruments, books, and so on, all in abundance. "There’s something here." Entering the Zhou Family. Up came Zhou Xingcai, and of course, the resentful young man beside her. "President Yuchi, it’s been a few days, you’re becoming more and more handsome!" Zhou Xingcai approached and immediately wrapped Yuchi’s left hand. She embraced him, pressing her body tightly against Yuchi’s arm. That physique really represented adequate nourishment, capable of devouring Yuchi whole. Like magic, Yuchi’s arm disappeared, it was terrifying. Carrying the wine pot, he looked helplessly at the young man, "Brother, I really didn’t want this, it was her who initiated it." "President Yuchi, you have what it takes!" The young man’s face flushed with morbid red. "Impressive!" Yuchi conceded. And he arrived quite early, the other two family members hadn’t shown up yet. The timing was right. During some small talk along the way, Yuchi was inexplicably ushered into Zhou Xingcai’s boudoir by her. Still half an hour until meal time, clearly there’s still time to do some things. "Have some tea first." "They’ll arrive soon, these past two days you must have been exhausting yourself running around Jiangzhou City." "No problem, this is what I should do." Yuchi felt his heart pounding, what is this girl up to? Directly inviting a man to her boudoir? This is too open even for broad daylight... "What are you thinking about?" Zhou Xingcai teased, placing her hands on Yuchi’s shoulders and pushing him into a chair. Turned to close the door. The young man outside was standing by, thinking maybe he should heat some water, they might need clean water later. This also counts as taking care of his beloved Zhou Xingcai, is this the legendary love?!
