Were leaving tomorrow, then? Yi Tianheng confirmed with Lu Yu.

Yes, tomorrow, Lu Yu replied curtly.

In that case, Ill head back and get myself prepared. Ill meet you both tomorrow morning. Since were a group of three, how about we travel in my carriage? Yi Tianheng offered.

Lu Yu turned to Zhao Qingya for her input. What do you think?

No objections from me, Zhao Qingya replied indifferently. The carriage of the son of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce president is bound to be luxurious. It suits me just fine.

Lu Yu nodded in agreement. Alright then. In that case, let Jiang Xun and your men pack up here and follow us later.

A flicker of curiosity crossed Zhao Qingyas face. Whats your plan for Jiang Xuns development? The power gap between you two is vast. It wouldnt be ideal for him to train alongside you.

Lu Yu elaborated, Exactly. He wouldnt benefit much training with you. Hell develop alongside the other hunting team members. Ill provide him with support to accelerate his growth, but ultimately, his progress depends on his own effort.

As a first step, I plan to give him the evolutionary potion.

Yi Tianhengs eyes widened at this news. Wow, what a great big brother! Youre willing to share such a valuable item first.

Lu Yu shot him a deadpan look. I cant use it myself, can I? Its a subpar potion, unfit for my dragon.

Yi Tianhengs heart sank at Lu Yus explanation. Subpar Im curious, what kind of battle pet do you have?

Lu Yu waved a dismissive hand towards Zhao Qingya. Ill head back for now. See you both tomorrow morning. We set off for Black Gold City then, to investigate the situation.

Sounds good. Ill be waiting, Zhao Qingya replied.

Back at the villa, Lu Yu found Jiang Xun having dinner at the table.

Im leaving for Black Gold City tomorrow. Stay here and integrate well with your colleagues.

Jiang Xun nodded eagerly. No problem. But why the rush?

I want to investigate the situation there as soon as possible. Once its settled, Im heading for the capital.

Lu Yu placed a vial on the table. This is an evolutionary potion. Take it and give it to your Frost Dragon to enhance its strength. I hope you can climb the ranks quickly and reach a high position. Ive stockpiled potions for you; use them to accelerate your growth.

Unfortunately, my a.s.sistance can only take you so far. The rest of the journey is yours to walk.

Jiang Xuns expression turned serious. Big Brother Lu, I understand. Ill work hard and reach the capital someday too!

Lu Yu offered a small nod. Good. You were the first person to extend a helping hand after I arrived in the Ten Thousand Dragon Country. So, Im returning the favor.

I leave for Black Gold City tomorrow morning. See you then.

Jiang Xun acknowledged Lu Yus words with a silent nod and continued his meal.

One way or another, Ill reach the top of the Patrol Department and become your right-hand man! he declared with unwavering determination.

After receiving so much help from Lu Yu, Jiang Xun understood that he was already starting at a significant advantage and progressing faster than most. If he still couldnt excel under these circ.u.mstances, it would truly reflect a lack of talent on his own part.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Yu said his goodbyes to Hu Zhan and Jiang Xun before heading to the Patrol Department office building.

Downstairs, a magnificent four-wheeled carriage awaited them, drawn by four tall and powerful stags. Their antlers, a striking purple that faintly glowed, indicated they were no ordinary beasts.

Yi Tianheng hopped down from the carriage and approached Lu Yu. You both made it! Ive been waiting here impatiently, but it hasnt even been ten minutes yet.

Lets get on the road then, Zhao Qingya said. Theres no point in delaying.

Absolutely! We have a variety of delicious treats and some captivating novels...o...b..ard. Why not enjoy them during the journey? Yi Tianheng enthused, ushering them into the carriage.

The interior was s.p.a.cious, with a central table laden with an a.s.sortment of desserts and snacks. Lu Yu couldnt help but remark, This feels like a luxurious vacation. You know how to live comfortably.

Yi Tianheng scratched his head sheepishly. Well, this is it considered luxurious? Usually, Id bring along a few beautiful women for company. Thats what I call true enjoyment.

A pointed cough escaped Zhao Qingyas lips.

Oh, apologies, I misspoke. We already have a stunning beauty in the carriage! Yi Tianheng quickly corrected himself.

The point is, private matters are best kept private. Were not interested, Zhao Qingya scolded lightly.

Oh, right, I see. My apologies for the misunderstanding. He scratched his head again awkwardly. Alright, driver, lets get going! No time to waste. Head straight for Black Gold City. We should arrive by nightfall.

Is this carriage exceptionally fast? Zhao Qingya inquired.

Not particularly fast, Yi Tianheng admitted. Normally, the journey takes two days. Reaching it in one day would be considered impressive.

Why is it usually a two-day trip? Lu Yu asked.

Yi Tianheng started to answer, then coughed awkwardly, Sorry, my fault. Hed almost blurted out something inappropriate again. Only after seeing Zhao Qingyas stern expression disappear did he continue, Because typically, there are lovely women accompanying me in the carriage

As the carriage rolled out of Skyplume City, Yi Tianheng peeked out the window at the receding city walls. Such a shame, he sighed. Only here for two days and I have to leave already. Feels like a wasted trip.

Actually, considering you know Lu Yu, it wasnt a wasted trip at all. Hes accepted a quest to help you deal with the problem youre facing.

Yi Tianheng spun around, eyes wide. Really? You can solve the financial crisis of our Chamber of Commerce?

Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes. Of course not! Were talking about the wild beasts going berserk, not some fabricated financial crisis!

Apologies, Yi Tianheng mumbled. Our business has indeed suffered lately due to these rampaging beasts. We even had to lay off some employees recently.

He then turned to Lu Yu with a tempting offer. Lu Yu, why not consider switching sides? I can offer you a ridiculously high salary!

Zhao Qingya interjected, her voice laced with disbelief. You just said you had to lay off employees, and now youre offering to hire someone new? Are you serious?

Yi Tianheng stammered, Well, but Lu Yu is incredibly powerful. One person like him could replace a hundred employees, right? Isnt that basically the same thing?

Speechless, Zhao Qingya retorted, You have quite the imagination. Have you forgotten hes the deputy mayor now?

Oh, right yes, of course, Yi Tianheng conceded. Deputy mayor, I forgot. In that case, I guess poaching you isnt an option

With a helpless sigh, he slumped back in his chair and reached for a dessert, starting to nibble on it. Lets get some rest. We should arrive by nightfall, as planned.
