Chapter Seven, The Visitor from Cangwu

Today, Chu Zhengming was quite happy, as the Sang family finally responded, and they even sent a master in the Danling stage, which shows their seriousness regarding this matter

"Old and decrepit Chu Zhengming, I pay my respects to the immortal master!" Chu Zhengming did not dare to be presumptuous. Upon seeing Sang Ji dismount, he respectfully approached, bowing deeply and performing a ceremonial greeting.

Oh? Sang Ji is a seasoned individual, and upon hearing this, he already had a slight understanding of the matter. He immediately said, "Master Chu, please feel free to speak."

Hao Qiang walked in from outside and happened to see Chu Yanqi with a beaming smile, which immediately piqued his curiosity. He asked, "You can't possibly be confused with anger, can you? How can you still be smiling?"

At this moment, Chu Yunjie suddenly began to feel grateful towards Chu Yanqi. If it were not for that useless person, Sang Ji would not have come to Kunlan Town. Even for the acquisition of medicinal materials and furs, it would have sufficed to send over a second-rate disciple, who would have been adequate for the task.

"Yun Jie, hurry, hurry, hurry, bow to the immortal master," Chu Zhengming said with a smile.

Chu Zhengming was busy leading him to the main hall. Once seated in the lobby, a beautiful maid immediately presented fragrant tea, snacks, and fresh fruits.

Indeed! Chu Zhengming was busy nodding and smiling, saying, "It is merely some wild items; I hope the immortal master does not find it amusing."

"I hope the immortal master will take me in." Upon seeing this, Chu Yunjie was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to bow. Being able to leap into Cangwu City through this opportunity was indeed a tremendous fortune

"Brother Dou." Chu Yunjie was busy greeting.

When he first woke up, everything was still unfamiliar, and coupled with his injuries not yet healed, he did not dare to make any movements. Now that his injuries were gradually improving, he was helpless as the one who cared for him, Chu Hua, had fallen into the hands of Chu Zhengming and was imprisoned in the dungeon. He naturally understood that as long as he did not go against his wishes, he would not kill Chu Hua immediately; however, it was certain that Chu Hua would be in a fate worse than death.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the first day of September. Chu Yanqi not only smiled wryly; if nothing unexpected happens, the day after tomorrow he will set out on his journey to Cangwu City to marry into the Kong Sang family

In other places, one may not necessarily find such pure mountain and wild products. "Sangjigan chuckled for a moment and said.

Chu Yunjie did not dare to be negligent, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down, and earnestly bowed three times.

This time I came primarily for the marriage between Young Master Yanqi and our young lady, and additionally to acquire some medicinal herbs and furs. The Chu family is near Kunlan Mountain, so they should have some connections, right?" Sangji leaned back in his chair, picked up the teacup, and after taking a sip, slowly said, "Good tea, I presume this is picked from the emerald peaks of Kunlan Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengming was immediately overjoyed. Being able to stay by Sang Ji's side was tantamount to his approval; the remaining matters were merely a formality.

On that afternoon, seeing that Chu Yunjie had not come over, Chu Yanqi found it quite strange. After inquiring with a junior disciple who was watching over him, she learned that someone from the Kongsang family had arrived

On Kunlan Mountain, there are many medicinal herbs, fierce beasts, and abundant resources, which have led many surrounding families to eye Kunlan Town covetously. Now, having ascended to the City of Cangwu and established a good relationship with the heir of the Sang family, who would still dare to have designs on the Chu family?

Sang Ji observed the appearance of Wu Xun, who was slightly hunched over, dressed in a very ordinary blue robe, accompanied by two young disciples, arriving in a very plain horse-drawn carriage, and thus made his way to the Chu family with a leisurely demeanor

I am currently only worried about my father, nothing else. " Chu Yanqi sighed, if it weren't for Chu Hua being in the hands of Chu Zhengming, which made him dare not act rashly, he would not be constrained by Chu Yunjie in every aspect.

There is an old man named Sang Ji, who is said to have just broken through and entered the Danling stage. For a small family like the Chu family, they have never encountered a strong practitioner at the Danling stage. Therefore, it is only natural that Chu Yunjie would not come to guard such a useless person, but instead hurried to pay his respects to Sang Ji

"It is indeed this old man." Chu Zhengming hurriedly responded, for this was the envoy from the Sang family, and the fate of his elixir depended on him.

"There is nothing else to say," Chu Zhengming said, "It's just that my grandson, who opened his spiritual aperture at the age of five, has some talent in cultivation. You see, our humble family fears that we might hinder the child's future, so I earnestly request the immortal master not to disdain this child for his foolishness and to take him under your wing. Even if it means sweeping the floor and serving tea for the immortal master, he would be willing to do so"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Douzi sniffed and said, "You are Junior Brother Chu, right?"

This—Sangji stroked his goatee, slightly furrowing his brow

"My surname is Sang," said Xiao Douzi with a smile, "I am a disciple of the Sang family tradition"

Upon hearing of Sang Ji's arrival, Chu Zhengming specifically changed into new clothes, ordered the disciples of his clan to open the main gate, and personally went out to welcome him. Setting aside the matter of marriage into the family, just a master at the Danling stage and a collection of books would be sufficient to make him the national protector of a small country. With such a person arriving, how could one not treat him with utmost importance

"As long as the immortal master is pleased, I will have Xiao Sun deliver a basket to you shortly," Chu Zhengming said with a feigned cheerful laugh. "As for the medicinal materials and furs, please rest assured, immortal master, I have already arranged for it, and the prices will be absolutely fair"

Especially hearing my great-grandfather say that this person is a close attendant of the city lord, his status is different from that of ordinary people. If one could meet the lord of Cangwu City, it would be akin to ascending to the heavens in a single step

As the days drew closer, Chu Yanqi felt both anxious and helpless. Not only did he have to consider Chu Hua, but he also had to take into account Hao Qiang, the seemingly honest and strong young man who had never doubted his identity and treated him exceptionally well. How could he innocently implicate someone who had been so kind to him?

Chu Yunjie was overjoyed and bowed deeply three times to Sang Ji before standing up

The disciple known as Little Bean, however, is quite handsome, appearing to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. He is dressed in a blue silk robe, which further accentuates his fair complexion and bright eyes, making him truly adorable

Thus, I can rest assured. Sangi nodded and said, This is a matter that my master specifically instructed, and it must not be taken lightly

"Little Douzi, from now on this child will follow you." Sangji turned around and said to a young disciple beside him

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunjie felt an increased respect for Little Douzi—he naturally understood the painstaking efforts of his great-grandfather. By allowing him to enter Cangwu City and become Sangji's disciple, it meant that he would henceforth be affiliated with Cangwu City. From that point on, the Chu family would no longer fear the oppression from the nearby families.

This is Xiao Sun Chuyun Jie—Yun Jie, hurry up and come here to bow to the immortal master. Chu Zhengming was busy calling over Chu Yun Jie, who was following closely by his side

"Then just stay by my side and learn for now. As for becoming my disciple and entering Cangwu, I will need to return and seek approval before making a final decision. I hope the head of the Chu family can understand," said Sang Ji.

"Hmm, the young people are not bad!" Sang Ji merely responded lightly.

Forget it! Sang Ji waved his hand, supporting a young disciple as he got off the carriage. He glanced at Chu Zhengming and said, "You are the head of the Chu family?"

Understood, understood! Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengming felt a stir in his heart. He heard that this Sang Ji was a trusted confidant of the lord of Cangwu City, which seemed to be true. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Yunjie beside him, and immediately stood up, clasping his fists and saying, "There is one more matter, I earnestly request the immortal master to grant it."
