Chapter 1063: Chapter 1062: Stay and Wait

In the early morning, the City of Element was peaceful and serene. Yusuf Zuck and Marlon Shepherd had not seen each other for many years, so they drank until slightly tipsy.

Of course, alcohol could no longer intoxicate him, but he enjoyed this feeling, and he treasured the chance to have a hearty drink with a brother he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Dawn was just breaking as he strolled through the streets of the City of Element with Sheng Bo.

The city was large and held many secrets. In fact, even he didn’t know why he had come to this city.

However, fortunately, an unexpected reunion with his brother also made him marvel at the wonderful fate of the world. If he hadn’t become the son-in-law of the Shepherd family, would he have met Marlon Shepherd, the great Shopkeeper?

"Son-in-law, the direction ahead is not the way home," Yusuf Zuck walked three steps at a time, with Sheng Bo carefully following him. They had just walked past an intersection when, as Yusuf turned left, Sheng Bo also reminded him that home was to the right.

"Oh, let’s not go home yet. What’s there to do at home? I’ll wander around the city a bit more. If you have something to do, you go back first!" Yusuf continued walking without stopping.

Sheng Bo smiled and said, "Where are those words coming from, Son-in-law? I have nothing else to do. Serving you is my greatest task."

"Hehe," Yusuf chuckled, then suddenly thought about something and said, "The day before yesterday, on the stage, when I was attacked by the Trapped Dragon Ban, who was that figure in black who appeared? It seemed like he saved my life!"

"That was the City Lord," Sheng Bo whispered, "That’s our Shepherd family’s son-in-law. If it had been someone else, why would the City Lord save him?"

"The City Lord is very impressive. What is his cultivation level?" Yusuf asked playfully.

"I’m not sure of that," Sheng Bo shook his head.

"Roughly then? What cultivation level approximately?" Yusuf pressed.

"At least above an Immortal Monarch, or perhaps at the level of an Immortal Saint?" Sheng Bo guessed.

"If he is an Immortal Monarch or Immortal Saint, why not go to the Upper Realm, or even to the Immortal Realm?" Yusuf wondered.

"I don’t know about that, but our City of Element is filled with masters. There are some who do not like living in the Upper Realm; they all have residences here in our City of Element. Also, I heard that the Upper Realm isn’t as big as our Element World."

"What cultivation level is Water Bo?" Yusuf, as if his thoughts were scattered, jumped from one topic to another, though each question was purposeful.

"First Rank Immortal Monarch," Sheng Bo replied.

"Oh, a First Rank Immortal Monarch as a servant in our Shepherd family?" Yusuf raised an eyebrow.

"As you know, Son-in-law, our family is very wealthy," Sheng Bo said with a smile.

"Being wealthy doesn’t mean you can have an Immortal Monarch as a servant, does it? How does that make sense?" Yusuf was puzzled.

"Our Shepherd family is also a major clan. When the old master was still here, Water Bo was already with us. You could say Water Bo watched the old master grow up and has always been a family servant, regardless of his cultivation level."

"Oh, is that so." Yusuf nodded, seemingly enlightened.

As the master and servant talked and continued walking, a group of people approached them hastily, consisting of both men and women, led by a middle-aged elder, all dressed in identical uniforms.

When Yusuf’s gaze swept over them, he realized the middle-aged elder was likely a First Class Immortal King, having an aura identical to Water Bo’s.

These people hurried past them, with a few glancing curiously at the two.

"What’s with these people so early in the morning? Morning exercise?" Yusuf curiously asked.

"You don’t know, Son-in-law?" Sheng Bo looked curiously at Yusuf.

"You know and you’re still asking me?" Yusuf Zuck replied irritably.

"Here’s the thing, in just over three months, the millennium gathering of the Element World will be held. After the conclusion of the event, everyone will head to the border of the Demon Realm to confront the Demon Cultivators. It’s the millennia battle between humans and demons."

"They’re gathering in Tianyuan City?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, after gathering, we will head to the Demon Realm border collectively from outside the city. At that time, all the citizens of the city will see us off. For the next few months, until after the battle between humans and demons ends, Tianyuan City will be the most lively place. Sects from all directions in the Immortal Path will gather here. This place will also become a temporary headquarters issuing all sorts of orders!"

"Those people must have just entered the city looking for an inn to stay in!"

"Will the city gates also be open at night?"

"The city gates are always open."

"So does that mean that the Shepherd Family will make a huge profit during this time? The more outsiders, the more money we make, right?"

"That’s right," Martin Huppe chuckled, "But the master is also a great philanthropist. Every time there’s a battle between humans and demons, the master organizes a comfort mission team and brings various supplies to the border. Sometimes when he can’t go himself, he sends me instead, but this time... sigh!" Martin sighed.

"Oh, Mr. Shepherd really is a good person!" Yusuf Zuck laughed and nodded.

A master and his servant walked into a small shop for morning tea. Martin seemed to know the shopkeeper well and ordered two bowls of porridge with several small dishes.

Of course, the porridge here is elixir porridge, the cereal increases one’s blood energy and strength.

"All the shops on this street belong to our Shepherd Family!" Martin pointed to either side of the street, "That’s why the shopkeeper is so cordial to me."

"Damn," Yusuf Zuck was taken aback as he realized the street stretched farther than the eye could see, each shop bustling with various kinds of business—and that meant the Shepherd Family could live off rent without ever worrying about sustenance.

Seeing Yusuf Zuck startled, Martin also smiled proudly. The wealth of the Shepherd Family was beyond imagination. This son-in-law had clearly been reluctant to agree to this marriage initially, but now it seemed he was tempted.

"When you get back, could you ask if there are any vacant shops on this street? I want one," Yusuf Zuck pondered for a moment before adding.

"Um... okay." Martin looked at Yusuf Zuck curiously and couldn’t help asking, "May I ask, son-in-law, what do you need the shop for? This street is quite literally worth its weight in gold, one of the busiest streets here. Anyone who comes to Tianyuan City needs to visit this street."

"I plan to open a shop dealing in Elixirs and Artifact Refining, just trying my hand at it!" Yusuf Zuck said cheerfully.

"Are you an Artifact Refiner? Or a Pill Master? What grade are you?" Martin was shocked.

"I don’t know, but..." Yusuf Zuck paused for a moment, then suddenly stood up and began walking forward. "You pay the bill and then go ask Miss for a reimbursement. Also, you don’t need to follow me anymore. I’ll wander around here; you go ask Miss if it’s okay for me to open a shop here. If it is, find me a shop right away. I want to see the premises today. Hurry back with your answer!"

"But... but... you... I..." Martin broke out in a sweat from his forehead, following Yusuf Zuck because he actually feared this new son-in-law might run off!

"I won’t run. Marlon Shepherd is my brother. If I run off, you can find him to take my place as the son-in-law. Hurry back now, go ask Miss!"

"Okay... just don’t wander off. I’ll be right back, I’ll be right back." After saying that, Martin hurried back to Shepherd Mansion. He too was a master, with a cultivation level of the Fourth Rank Profound Immortal.

The Shepherd Family was truly a cradle of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, comparable to any large sect!

Moreover, Yusuf Zuck was not planning on leaving Tianyuan City anytime soon because all the sects were coming. Would the Campbell Sect show up? Being a disciple of Paisley Kirk, the Supreme Elder of the Campbell Sect, would she be sent out for training?

So by staying here, there might be unexpected surprises, and his identity as the son-in-law of the Shepherd Family was the best shield, because no one would guess that Jimmie Campbell, Zayden Newton from the Luo Sect, would magically transform into the son-in-law of the wealthy Shepherd Family in Tianyuan City!

Damn, Martin Huppe?!

Thinking of this name, Yusuf Zuck felt an urge to strangle Marlon Shepherd!
