Chapter 1539: Chapter 1536: Young Master Yue Hua!

When Yue Qing and Housekeeper Zhuo Yi stood side by side, gazing up at the stars in the night sky, they listened to the sounds of waves coming from the White Dragon Sea, sometimes distant and sometimes near.

At this moment, a crisp sound emanated from Yue Qing’s Storage Bag. Yue Qing took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from it.

"It’s a Sound Transmission Talisman from Young Master Yue Hua." The moment Housekeeper Zhuo Yi saw the talisman, his expression turned solemn.

Young Master Yue Hua is the only son of Yue Zheng!

Yue Qing’s face remained unchanged and with a flash of spiritual light, she activated the talisman, and a cheerful voice emerged: "Sister Yue Qing, where are you?"

Yue Qing replied indifferently, "I will cross Wuji Mountain by Tomorrow, and after passing it, it will take another three days to reach Haizhen City."

"We’ve already reached Wuji Mountain, ah... Look, in recent times, I’ve been so preoccupied with trivial matters within the Silver Moon Commerce Association that I didn’t even realize Sister Yue Qing was nearing Wuji Mountain."

"As a brother, I should have been at the border of the Linhai Dynasty to welcome Sister Yue Qing," Young Master Yue Hua said with some regret.

Yue Qing said, "The headquarters of the Silver Moon Commerce Association naturally have numerous daily matters to attend to, especially now with the Divine Weapon Feast about to begin, the association is understandably very busy."

"There’s no need for you to come to meet me; I know my way home," Yue Qing stated.

Young Master Yue Hua insisted, "That won’t do, my father has arranged for me to come and meet you. If I don’t make the journey back to Haizhen City with you, how could my father spare me?"

"Sister Yue Qing, what do you think about this idea?"

"Our Silver Moon Commerce Association has a manor atop Wuji Mountain, I will wait for you there Tomorrow. You must be exhausted from the journey, so come and rest for a day, and then we can return to Haizhen City together, how does that sound?"

"That way, when my father sees us returning together, he will surely believe that I went to the Linhai Dynasty border to meet you."

"Do not worry, Sister Yue Qing, I’ll make sure the manor is well-stocked with food and wine," Yue Hua said with a laugh.

Upon hearing Yue Hua’s words, Yue Qing’s gaze deepened, and she said, "If that’s the case, I will see you at the manor Tomorrow."

"Great, I will be waiting for you at the manor, Sister Yue Qing. Make sure you come," Yue Hua’s voice deepened slightly as he spoke these words.

Yue Qing put away the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi had been standing by Yue Qing’s side the whole time, and the conversation from the talisman wasn’t concealed from him, so he heard everything clearly.

"Miss," began Zhuo Yi, sensing something strange, "this Yue Hua..."

"A Hongmen Banquet," Yue Qing said with a somewhat pale expression.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi spoke with a cold gaze, "Miss, it turns out you were right, they indeed do not wish to let you return to Haizhen City."

"But Miss, if you know that the manor Tomorrow is a Hongmen Banquet, why would you still agree to meet Yue Hua there?" Housekeeper Zhuo Yi asked, perplexed.

Yue Qing chuckled lightly, "Even if I say I won’t go, Yue Hua has other ways to find me before I return to Haizhen City!"

"In any case, I won’t be able to return to Haizhen City without first meeting Yue Hua!"

"Since we need to meet either way, why not choose a location familiar to everyone."

"Yue Hua is here for a final negotiation!"

"Before these negotiations are finished, Yue Hua won’t let me return to Haizhen City," Yue Qing stated calmly.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "Then we must be extra cautious Tomorrow, Miss. I will go and remind the guardians!"

"The loyal followers we brought out have died in large numbers on Mangshan Ridge; now only about twenty guardians who will follow our orders remain."

"And the other guardians we recruited from Mangshan Town are unlikely to sincerely risk their lives for the Miss!"

Yue Qing nodded lightly, "Mm, go and relay the message to Dongfang."

"I understand."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi responded with a nod and left the Third Floor.

After Housekeeper Zhuo Yi left, Yue Qing closed her beautiful eyes with resignation, and the ethereal aura that once surrounded her disappeared, revealing a deep weariness and a heavy look of exhaustion.

Her complexion was pale, like one who had just recovered from a severe illness, with an expression of helplessness, desolation, and sorrow...

She was well aware that her return to Haizhen City was a situation of Nine Deaths One Life...

After leaving the Third Floor, Zhuo Yi went to the Guardian’s rooms one by one, earnestly entrusting them with tasks.

Yue Qing’s ability to increase the Eastern Branch’s sales beyond the other three branches in just four years was largely thanks to Housekeeper Zhuo Yi’s contributions, a full thirty percent.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, an old servant who had followed Yue Qing’s father, was very skilled in observing and handling affairs, often dealing with matters that Yue Qing could not handle herself when they were at the Eastern Branch.

Both Yue Qing and her father placed immense trust in Housekeeper Zhuo Yi.

Lin Bai was in his room, eyes closed, perfecting his "Slaying Immortal" technique.

A knock at the door came, and Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw Housekeeper Zhuo Yi smiling at him as he opened the door.

"Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, what brings you here so late at night?" Lin Bai asked with a light smile.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "Tomorrow we will arrive at Wuji Mountain, where Young Master Yue Hua will welcome us at his estate there. We’ll take a rest when we get there."

"Young Master Yue Hua?" Lin Bai echoed in confusion.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi’s gaze shifted, and he said softly, "Yue Hua is the only son of Yue Zheng."

Lin Bai understood immediately, his expression darkening as he asked, "What does Miss Yue Qing mean by this?"

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said softly, "The young lady hopes that Young Sword Master Dongfang will remember the promise between them."

Lin Bai looked puzzled for a moment and chuckled, "From the way Housekeeper Zhuo Yi speaks, it seems like tomorrow’s welcoming banquet might be a Hongmen Banquet."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi smiled slightly but said nothing.

"Young Sword Master Dongfang." At that moment, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi bowed respectfully with cupped fists towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said, "Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, what’s the meaning of this grand gesture? You’re older than me; I really can’t accept such a big salute."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "Young Sword Master Dongfang, I have a request to make!"

Lin Bai said with a touch of frustration, "You merchants always like to start with courtesy before getting to the point, don’t you? Your young lady does the same. Go on, tell me what it is you’re asking of me?"

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "If tomorrow there should be any trouble at the estate, I hope that Young Sword Master Dongfang can rescue and take the young lady away! Don’t worry about us, but please ensure you save the young lady and preserve her life."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai laughed lightly and said, "I think with her temperament, she’s unlikely to leave with me."

"That’s precisely why I am making this request to Young Sword Master Dongfang. If tomorrow there’s trouble at the estate, the young lady will definitely not leave the Linhai Dynasty easily. Even if she has just a breath left, she will surely want to return to Haizhen City."

"At that time, no matter what means you use, please make sure you save the young lady from the Linhai Dynasty!"

"Please."

While speaking, Zhuo Yi bowed deeply, kneeling in front of Lin Bai with a most solemn expression.

An old man over eighty kneeling before a young man in his twenties created a rather strange sight.

Lin Bai quickly helped Zhuo Yi to his feet, saying, "Housekeeper Zhuo Yi, I truly cannot accept such a gesture from you, as it’s too great an honor. It’s life-shortening."

"Miss Yue Qing has been kind to me, if it comes to a critical moment, I will save her."

Hearing Lin Bai’s agreement, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi became excitedly grateful, "Thank you, Young Sword Master! Then, Young Sword Master, please rest well, I still need to speak with the other Warriors."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

After speaking, Zhuo Yi went towards another room.

Leaning against the door, Lin Bai watched as Zhuo Yi greeted each Guardian one by one as he moved from room to room, a gesture that moved Lin Bai deeply. For a servant to do so much was indeed rare in this world.

Lin Bai murmured softly, "What is so good about Yue Qing to make even a seasoned old man like Zhuo Yi willingly bow down and run around tirelessly on her behalf?"
