C67 Zhao Family Caravan

The Green Feathered Bird chased after Lee Zhuohua all the way, while Lee Zhuohua tried his best to escape.

It was not that Lee Zhuohua was no match for this Green Feathered Bird, but Lee Zhuohua knew that the child was in his hands. It was not his fault that it was so anxious, and Lee Zhuohua was too embarrassed to fight with it.

"Hmm?" Lee Zhuohua, who was fleeing, suddenly made a sound of surprise.

He could feel a trace of a terrifying aura flowing through the mountain in front of him, which was not much worse than the Green Feathered Bird behind him.

Previously, Lee Zhuohua had also passed through the territories of many strange beasts while he was fleeing, but most of the strange beasts were weak, so they were unable to stop Lee Zhuohua, not to mention the Green Feathered Bird that was following closely behind.

But the aura in front of him now was fundamentally different from that of the beasts from before.

"It's very strong. Maybe I can do this." Lee Zhuohua thought to himself, as if he had thought of a way to get rid of the Green Feathered Bird behind him, and his body accelerated as he rushed into the mountain.

When the Green Feathered Bird saw Lee Zhuohua enter the mountain in front of it, it did not immediately chase after him. It hovered in the sky for a long time and refused to enter. There was some hesitation in its eyes, as if there was something in the mountain that could threaten it.

Lee Zhuohua did not know that the mountain he had accidentally entered was actually the turf of the Green Feathered Bird's arch-enemy.

There was a Black-spotted Python Tiger living on this mountain, and everything within a hundred miles was its territory. The other strange beasts did not dare to enter at all.

And the territory of the Green Feathered Bird was close to the territory of the Black-Spotted Tiger, so there would often be friction between them. However, the Green Feathered Bird stopped fighting with the python tiger because of its birth, so the two had been at peace for the past few years.

But now, Lee Zhuohua had actually brought its cub to hide on this mountain, which gave the Green Feathered Bird a headache.

The Green Feathered Bird that was hovering in the sky thought for a long time before it finally stopped hesitating. With a flap of its wings, it flew towards the mountain.

At this moment, a caravan was slowly travelling in the Spiritual Pine Mountain Range a few miles away from here.

This merchant group was led by a girl dressed in green and The Black-robed Old Man. There were around a dozen people in the group, and they seemed to be escorting something.

"Miss, the Black-Spotted Tiger's territory is just ahead of us. We need to go around it." The Black-robed Old Man looked at the ground and then spoke to the girl in green respectfully.

The aura from the Black-robed Old Man's body indicated that he was an Astral Success Realm expert, while the young girl he was respectfully waiting for was only at the Condensing Origin Stage.

The reason why the Black-robed Old Man was so respectful to the young girl was that they were master and servant.

The young girl in green was the daughter of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce in the capital, Zhao Hanyan. As for The Black-robed Old Man, he was the housekeeper who had served the third generation of the Zhao Family, Lin Wunian.

As the precious daughter of the Zhao Family, Zhao Hanyan didn't need to escort this batch of goods. However, there was nothing he could do about her father, Zhao Xinyun, who was the chairman of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce. He had died of illness half a year ago.

However, Zhao Xinyun didn't have a son under his command. Therefore, the burden of being the president of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce fell on Zhao Hanyan, this weak girl.

For the past half a year, because of Zhao Xinyun's illness, the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce was taken advantage of by the original enemy forces to suppress it, causing the territory of the chamber of commerce to shrink rapidly, and the business also fell quite a bit.

Many of the elders in the Chamber of Commerce thought that this was because Zhao Hanyan's ability was insufficient. Therefore, many of them started to abandon the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, causing Zhao Hanyan to be in an isolated and helpless situation.

Only Lin Wunian remained by Zhao Hanyan's side. Thus, Zhao Hanyan trusted Lin Wunian very much.

"Uncle Lin is absolutely correct. We have already been on the road for a day, and everyone is tired. We should rest here for a while before setting off." After Zhao Hanyan heard Lin Wunian's words, he thought for a moment.

Zhao Hanyan's caravan had been on the road for a whole day. If they took a detour, they could not stop halfway. Therefore, Zhao Hanyan planned to let everyone rest for a while before continuing their journey.

"Alright, then I will arrange it right away." Lin Wunian nodded his head and said, then turned around to arrange for the caravan to stop for a rest.

Zhao Hanyan looked at Lin Wunian's back as he walked down the mountain, then turned around and looked at the mountain in front of him. He thought to himself with a frown on his face.

"After this mission is over, my Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce can still take a breather, but the Chamber of Commerce will have a debate at the end of the month. Sigh, who can represent my Zhao Family now?" Looking at the mountain in front of him, Zhao Hanyan thought about the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, and his face was filled with worry.

What Zhao Hanyan was worried about was the ranking battle of the three chambers of commerce in the capital. The original Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce was the head of the three chambers of commerce. But after Zhao Xinyun died, it fell to the bottom of the three chambers of commerce.

After Zhao Hanyan took over the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, he finally managed to stabilize the current situation of the Zhao Family. In terms of wealth, the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce didn't fall from the position of the three major chambers of commerce.

But the Chamber of Commerce's battles were ranked by force, and each Chamber of Commerce sent out an expert to represent their Chamber of Commerce.

However, the only one who could afford it in the Zhao Family was Lin Wunian, but Lin Wunian was too old to participate in this debate.

If no one fought on behalf of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, the Zhao Family would naturally be kicked out of the position of the three chambers of commerce.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hanyan's brows gradually knitted together. He felt a headache about this matter.

At this time, Lin Wunian arrived at Zhao Hanyan's side after settling down the rest of the merchant group.

Lin Wunian had served three generations of the Zhao Family, and he had also watched Zhao Hanyan grow up. Naturally, he knew what Zhao Hanyan was worried about at this moment. He could not bear to see this heavy burden on Zhao Hanyan. He hoped that he could share some of the burden for him.

"Miss, I can still participate in the Chamber of Commerce's competition. You don't need to worry about it." Lin Wunian comforted Zhao Hanyan with a bit of heartache.

Hearing Lin Wunian's voice, Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment before turning around and looking at Lin Wunian with a complicated expression.

She knew that Lin Wunian was loyal and devoted to the Zhao Family, but it was also because of this that Zhao Hanyan knew how much Lin Wunian had paid for her Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, she did not wish for Lin Wunian to suffer any losses in this competition. Although Lin Wunian was an Astral Realm expert, he was still old, so he could not last much longer than those young and strong experts.

"Well, Uncle Lin, I know you care about me, but now you are the only one left by my side. You have sacrificed your life for the Zhao Family. You should be enjoying your old age at home, but now, you have to work for the Zhao Family. It is the Zhao Family that has let you down." Zhao Hanyan said guiltily.

When Lin Wunian heard Zhao Hanyan's words, his expression immediately became serious.

"Miss, this old life of mine was given to me by Great-grandfather Zhao. I have already told you back then that my life belongs to the Zhao Family." Lin Wunian spoke with some excitement, paused for a moment, and continued, "Now that the Zhao Family is in trouble, how can I, Lin Wunian, not get involved?"

Zhao Hanyan shook his head slightly and sighed when he saw Lin Wunian's expression. "Uncle Lin, I have my own decision on this matter. You don't need to say anything."

"Your Majesty." When Lin Wunian heard that Zhao Hanyan had rejected his suggestion, he anxiously called out in a low voice, wanting to continue.

"Alright, Uncle Lin." Zhao Hanyan interrupted Lin Wunian and did not let him continue.

Seeing this, Lin Wunian sighed slightly and did not say anything else.

At this moment, a great battle broke out on the mountain several kilometers away from The Zhao Caravan's.

Previously, Lee Zhuohua had hidden on this mountain because he wanted the owner of this mountain to stop the Green Feathered Bird for him.

To Lee Zhuohua's surprise, the owner of this mountain started fighting with the Green Feathered Bird the moment they met, which surprised Lee Zhuohua a little. He could not figure out what kind of grudge there was between the two of them.

However, Lee Zhuohua naturally would not interfere in this battle. His original goal was to do so, and now that his goal had been achieved, Lee Zhuohua would naturally run away.

Lee Zhuohua carried the little pudding in his arms and ran out of the mountain peak, arriving at the resting place of The Zhao Caravan.

The battle between the Green Feathered Bird and the Black-spotted Tiger on the other side had also attracted the attention of the people from The Zhao Caravan here.

"Uncle Lin, what is that?" Zhao Hanyan was surprised when he saw the aftermath of the battle in front of him. He called out to Lin Wunian who was beside him.

Lin Wunian naturally saw the scene in front of him, but he did not understand what was going on.

"Miss, it might be that the Black-Spot Python Tiger is fighting with someone else." Lin Wunian said uncertainly.
