Chapter 125 Let's Change Our Identity

Qin Bilian replied somewhat impatiently, "We can still receive guests without him."

After sending this message, Qin Bilian sent another message to Du Long: "Take Wang Yan out there and see as much as you can. Come back when I let you know!"

Dulong, still on the airship, received the message, quickly glanced at Wang Yan, and replied: "Don't be sad. Wang Yan is very magnanimous and understanding. Your disciple awaits your instructions."

When his identity badge lit up, Wang Yan glanced at him with a keen eye, and upon meeting his gaze, immediately guessed knowingly, "What, is this message related to me?"

"Your grandmaster is concerned about you and is asking if you are adapting well."

"He cares about you." Dulong raised an eyebrow. "He's afraid you won't understand."

is it?

Then why do I see guilt in your eyes?

Wang Yan thought to himself, but his face remained calm: "Uncle-Master, we are here on orders to make purchases. Lin Yue is not in the sect either. It must be Senior Brother Mo who is confused, right? His breakthrough to the Condensation Realm should be a great thing."

"As a result, when he happily emerged from seclusion, lo and behold, Grandpa had been stripped of his leadership of the sect and forced into seclusion. And there was me, with my six-petaled flower of literary talent, who had preemptively applied for the Time Divine Script before him. He couldn't see the people he wanted to see, the world had changed drastically, how frustrating!"

Dulong looked him over with curiosity: "You're that confident? So you deliberately reported the divine inscription during that period just to target Mo Jingqing?"

Wang Yan answered confidently, "I had already promised Peak Master Zhu that I would come up with a divine script related to time. I've just submitted my assignment and happened to come across this opportunity."

A glint flashed in Dulong's eyes, then he chuckled, "You did it on purpose! I know you hold grudges! Your master disciplined you once, and you still remember it. Deacon Jin told me that you never address your master as 'disciple'!"

Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, then he quickly shook his head: "My master has already compensated me, why would I hold a grudge! Besides, my master is now my biggest backer in the Cloud Cauldron Sect, I must be out of my mind to hold a grudge against him!"

"Ah, I thought your biggest backer was your Uncle Deng?" Du Long said, feigning surprise.

"Uncle Deng is a confidant, not a backer." Wang Yan rolled his eyes. "Uncle Du, you don't need to test me. I know that Grandmaster isn't having an easy time right now, and I truly don't hold grudges..."

Not wanting to continue this pointless topic, Wang Yan asked again, "Those three sects should know that Jiangling Prefecture is Zhu family territory, so why don't they set up some obstacles to the supply here?"

Dulong smiled knowingly, then scoffed contemptuously, "They wouldn't dare to create obvious obstacles, because they're counting on making a fortune here! If the Zhu family's business runs into trouble, our spies will detect it immediately, leaving them no chance to launch a sneak attack!"

"Moreover, our Peak Master Zhu has a temper and is protective of his own."

Wang Yan's gaze shifted: "Then this time, should we investigate whether the Zhu family's businesses have exceeded any limits?"

Dulong looked at him in surprise again: "Kid, remember, we at Shenwen Peak have the right to patrol. Now that we're here, how can we not check? Alright, enough talk, let's change our clothes now."

"Change clothes?" Wang Yan looked at his casual cultivator's robes. "Isn't this fine?"

Du Long lazily took out a set of inner sect robes from the Yunding Sect and changed into them first: "I had you change into the robes of a rogue cultivator before because I was afraid that the people from those three sects would intercept us. Now that we're out here on our own turf, we can use our sect's clothing."

"They really didn't chase after us!" Wang Yan was surprised. "Our airship stirred up the air currents while flying, there's no way they wouldn't have noticed... Was it because the air currents in mid-air were complex that they misunderstood?"

Du Long scoffed, "If an envoy from the Biqing Sect is coming, they will definitely send people to make preparations and put on a show. Those three sects couldn't have broken through our mountain gate anyway, so they should pause now and wait until the Biqing Sect's people leave before considering whether to continue the war. Especially the Jiangyin Sect, they are the most indecisive. They won't dare to act unless they have a very strong chance of success."

"Let's go to the camp first and give the purchase list to the camp steward so he can handle the procurement. We'll just need to check the items. In the meantime, let's take a good look around Jiangling City."

Wang Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked with great interest, "Is that possible?"

"Of course, but," Dulong changed the subject again, "Although we are from Shenwen Peak, let's not use the identity of Shenwen Peak, let's use the identity of Huolian Peak instead! If there are any major expenses, just put them on the bill in Jiangling City, and the local authorities will settle the accounts with the sect."

After saying that, Du Long, who had changed his clothes, flicked his wrist and produced another set of inner sect robes from Fire Refining Peak and a necklace: "Hey, I've prepared a set of Fire Refining Peak clothes for you. Remember to wear this necklace; it can conceal your aura and make your blood and qi drop back to the late stage of Profound Movement! Otherwise, once you appear at the Profound Breakthrough Realm, everyone will know that you are Wang Yan!"

Wang Yan immediately laughed and joked, "Uncle-Master, do you often go out to shop? You seem quite familiar with the process!"

"When I get tired of thinking about divine runes at the sect, I go out for a walk with the people from Fire Refining Peak. The last time was three years ago. However, the stewards here haven't changed, so they should still recognize me." Du Long quickly changed his clothes and waved to Wang Yan, who was also dressed. "I'll take you to see the river first and see what you can glean from it."

Wang Yan's gaze shifted unexpectedly: "Looking at the river?"

……

Jiangling Prefecture is nestled against mountains and beside water, winding and turning. The Jiangling River, which flows through it, is quite vast, even wider than the Pearl River in its previous history.

Boats of all sizes travel back and forth on the river in an endless stream.

Dulong put away the puppets and personally piloted the airship, circling in mid-air for a while. He pointed to the ships in the river: "Any ship with the character 'Zhu' hanging on its mast and a faint mystical light on it belongs to your ancestor Zhu Ning's family. They travel between Qin and Lu to purchase various materials for refining weapons."

"Single-story and two-story merchant ships can only travel within the country, while three-story merchant ships can travel between the two countries. They have an acceleration array, which was crafted by Peak Master Zhu's eldest disciple. Your Grandmaster Zhu Ning has made great contributions to the current state of Fire Refining Peak, which is why the Peak Master has always treated him with great respect."

Wang Yan nodded and replied with a smile, "So, your first thought upon coming out is to purchase materials from the Zhu family?"

Duron's eyes lit up slightly: "Little guy, not bad. You write quickly, and your mind works just as fast! So, have you thought of any new divine scripture?"

"There are indeed new poems and essays, but please forgive me for not wanting to talk about them yet. Let's wait until they are perfected!" Wang Yan looked at the busy river surface with a sense of nostalgia, recalling the events of his previous life. His eyes held a maturity beyond his years.

A strange light flashed in Zhu Long's eyes, then he laughed heartily: "Haha, okay, whenever you want to tell me, be sure to tell me right away."

"No problem!" Wang Yan replied casually, then pointed to another type of boat on the river with a sail that was round on the outside and square on the inside, resembling a copper coin: "Whose boat is that? It looks quite powerful."
