C182 Blueprint Drawn

Nan Shengfan opened his mouth but didn’t say a word. He humphed and closed his mouth.

The two of them walked at a moderate pace. When they reached the lakeside, it was almost half an hour later. Feng Yu walked to a huge banyan tree and sat on the roots of the tree.

The roots of the tree were very strange. They were half a foot thick and curved like a bridge. It looked very beautiful from afar.

Feng Yu sat on the roots of the tree and her feet were just below the ground. She looked at the lake in front of her and her legs swayed. Nan Shengfan sat next to her feet. The two of them were very close. His head was just below her knees.

The banyan tree was very lush. Its leaves drooped down, creating a curtain that blocked out the sunlight. The girl’s face was hidden between the leaves. The young man next to her knees was handsome. It was a beautiful scene.

“Feng Yu,” Nan Shengfan couldn’t help but speak after a long time.

Feng Yu turned her head and looked at him. She humphed and didn’t say anything.

“I heard from my father that on Princess Lingyan’s birthday, the Emperor gave you and Prince Chen a marriage?”

Nan Shengfan’s voice was rarely serious. Feng Yu rarely heard him speak in this tone. She quickly remembered what happened on the night of Yue Lingyan’s birthday and humphed.

That birthday banquet, Nan Shengfan didn’t go back to the academy. He only heard about it and didn’t see it with his own eyes.

“But I also heard that your master stopped it,” Nan Shengfan looked at her and said carefully, “Little Feng Yu, your master ruined your marriage. Do you hate him?”

Feng Yu looked at him and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why should I hate him?”

She should thank her master for stopping the marriage for her. Otherwise, even if she was carrying the marriage annulment letter written by Bei Chenzhe, she would be forced to cancel the marriage. The outsiders wouldn’t know how to mock her.

Although she didn’t care about what others said about her, since she could keep her reputation, why should she make herself worse?

Although she didn’t care, what if her grandfather and brother cared?

How could she make the person she wanted to protect worry and feel sad for her? So, she was very happy that her master stopped the marriage for her.

Of course, the others probably thought she would hate her master.

After all, her reputation was already so bad and she was so ugly. Therefore, the others thought that it was a blessing for her to be able to marry a man like Prince Chen. She must be happy about it. Therefore, she would definitely hate her master for ruining her marriage.

A thought suddenly flashed across Feng Yu’s mind. Her master had been mocking her these days. Was he worried that she would hate him?

After this thought flashed across her mind, she shook her head. Who was her master? He was supreme and had no respect for mortals. Why would he care if she hated him?

It shouldn’t affect him whether she hated him or not. That was why she was thinking too much.

Nan Sifan opened his mouth and looked at Feng Yu. He didn’t expect her to say those four words so casually, ‘Why should I hate him?’. Did she really care about her master ruining her marriage?

“Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Lei.”

Just as he was thinking, Feng Yu’s faint voice sounded in his ears. He looked up and saw Ye Qian and Lei Lie walking toward them.

“Junior Sister Yun.”

Lei Lie hadn’t seen Feng Yu for a long time. He seemed to be very excited to see her today. A faint smile appeared in his cold eyes.

Feng Yu sensed him and found that he had broken through to the Eighth Level of the Common Mysterious Realm. He was only at the Fifth Level of the Common Mysterious Realm when they met for the first time. It had only been a dozen days, but he had broken through three levels. This speed was really amazing.

She looked at Lei Lie in surprise and said, “Congratulations to Senior Brother Lei for breaking through and improving your cultivation.”

“Speaking of which, I broke through so quickly because of the lightning stone that Junior Sister Yun gave me. Thank you, Junior Sister Yun.” Lei Lie cupped his hands toward Feng Yu and thanked her sincerely.

“Xiao Fengyu, you are biased. You gave such a good thing to Brother Lei,” Nan Jie Yuan said unhappily. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, “Ah, right. Xiao Fengyu, didn’t you say that you would bring me something from Uncle Yun when we go back to the General’s Mansion? Bring it here.”

Feng Yu looked at him speechlessly and said, “I did.” She knew Nan Jie Yuan would ask for it, so she went to the treasury to get something suitable for him.

She took out a Wood Spirit Stone from her pocket and gave it to him. She said, “You have wood-elemental spiritual energy. This is for you.”

“Wow, Xiao Fengyu, I love you so much.”

Nan Jie Yuan almost fell down and kissed Feng Yu. This Wood Spirit Stone was as valuable as a Lightning Stone. Lei Lie and Ye Qian were envious. Lei Lie was okay because he got a Lightning Stone last time.

But Ye Qian was different. He was envious of the Lightning Stone in Lei Lie’s hand and envious of the Wood Spirit Stone in Nan Jie Yuan’s hand. However, he was not a thick-skinned person. He couldn’t ask for it. He just praised, “Uncle Yun is amazing. He has collected so many treasures.”

“That’s right…” Lei Lie and Nan Jie Yuan agreed.

Feng Yu covered her mouth and smiled. If they knew that the treasury on the third floor of the General’s Mansion was full of treasures, they wouldn’t know what to think.

As the daughter of Yun Zhantian, with the support of resources, even a pig would be able to cultivate to the level of a Master. Her current speed was a bit unfair to her father’s resources.

Of course, it was also because she had not touched the treasures in the treasury besides the fragment of the Bead of Hidden and the Evil Extermination Blade.

She had also asked her grandfather why there were so many treasures in the General’s House, but no one had come to steal them. Her grandfather told her that the third floor of the treasury was protected by a barrier set by her father. Other than those with a profound cultivation that could break through her father’s barrier, only those with the key could enter.

Whoever dared to force their way in, the barrier set by her father would be activated, and whoever dared to do so would have nothing to return.

However, Feng Yu had eavesdropped outside Long Zixuan’s door. She heard that he had dug three feet into the General’s House to find the fragment of the Divine Seal. Did he go to the third floor?

If he had gone in, did that mean that her master had reached the point where she could ignore her father’s barrier?

“Junior Sister Yun, did you come here to talk to us?”

Ye Qian’s eyes moved away from the Wood Spirit Stone in Nan Sifan’s hand. She looked at Feng Yu with a smile. Feng Yu returned to her senses, looked at Lei Lie, then looked at Ye Qian and nodded.

“Senior Brothers, I do have something to ask of you.”

“Junior Sister Yun, if you have something to say, just say it. If I can help, I will do my best.” Lei Lie patted his chest and made a promise.

Feng Yu nodded and said, “Thank you, Brother Lei Lie. I do need you two, but it is not that serious. Brother Lei Lie, I will be straightforward.”

Lei Lie and Ye Qian looked at each other and nodded, “Brother Yun, please tell us.”

“I want to create a trade association in the academy. The so-called trade association is to provide a place for the students to trade. We guarantee their safety and convenience in the association. After the trade is done, they need to pay us. What do you think?”

Lei Lie and Ye Qian’s eyes instantly opened wide. They were both smart people. After hearing Feng Yu’s simple words, they immediately thought of a way to make money.

Ye Qian nodded and said, “Junior Sister Yun, do you have a detailed plan? Can you pass it to us?”

Feng Yu nodded and said, “Sure.”

She used her mind to organize the blueprint of the trade association and then passed it to Lei Lie and Ye Qian. After they received it, they immediately went to digest it.

“Little Feng Yu, you are too biased. I am with you, okay? Why do you exclude me? I want it too…”

Nan Sifan started to argue. Feng Yu was helpless and could only pass a message to him. To be honest, Nan Sifan was too childish. She really didn’t want to build a force with him.

“Junior Sister Yun, you are a genius. Your idea is brilliant.”

Ye Qianyu was stunned. Ye Qianyu opened her eyes and looked at Feng Yu with admiration. “It requires a certain amount of manpower. If we can develop it, we will become a huge financial empire.”

“That’s right.” Lei Lie opened his eyes and looked at Feng Yu. He said, “If we can create the first guild, we can create a second one, a third one, and slowly take over the entire Northern Spiritual Province. I can imagine how big our forces will become.”

“That’s right.” Feng Yu nodded and said, “Moreover, we don’t just create a trade guild. We can create a trade guild with a merchant guild. We can gather rare treasures and hold auctions. We can hire some powerful alchemists, weapons forgers, and array masters to create a huge business empire. Although there are merchant guilds and guilds outside, they are doing well. We can defeat them and take over the market. We can also take over the Mercenary Guild, Assassin Guild, and other guilds.”

Lei Lie and Ye Qianyu were stunned by Feng Yu’s idea. They had never thought that such a delicate girl would have such a powerful soul.

Ye Qianyu suppressed her excitement and said, “Junior Sister Yun, everything starts from the very beginning. If we create a guild in the academy, there are a few problems. First, we need to find a place to set up the guild. Second, we need to find a place to sell our goods. Third, we need to find people and money to run the guild. We need to find a place to set up the trade guild.”

Feng Yu smiled and said, “There is nothing in the world that is impossible. These problems can be solved. Brothers, have you decided to work together with me?”

Ye Qian and Lei Lie looked at each other and then they nodded and said, “Junior Sister Yun, we have decided to work with you. You will be the leader and we will follow you.”

“Wait, wait, I don’t understand. Wait for me…” Nan Shenyuan roared.
