828 Everything Goes Well (2/2)
He said that he would wait until everything was stable, and Situ Clan's business was perfect. When the trade on the East Imperial Continent was completely stabilized and developed ten subdivisions, which would not be destroyed by the Nine Thearchs even if they wanted, that was when he would get married. It would at least take seven months.
The Situ Clan Head was moved by his answer and secretly thought that he had found a good son-in-law. Therefore, Situ Ao wrote personal invitations to the Clan Head of the thirteen clans, announced the engagement between to two, and promised that the wedding would take place in seven months.
Qian Wanguan had good reasons to delay the wedding for seven months. Previously, Jiang Yi wanted to invite Big Sister Bell to his birthday party, which Qian Wanguan believed it was not a safe plan.
With his and Yinian's status in the God Bestow Tribe, all the young masters and young mistresses would show up in such an important occasion. Most importantly, the Nangong and Lei Clans would never expect Jiang Yi to mess around on his wedding.
Qian Wanguan began to gradually stabilize the Situ Clan's business and the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, too. He started to train Situ Yixiao to be his successor. The Situ Clan had been very kind to them. Even though he didn't tell Situ Yinian the whole story, she already agreed to leave with him. Naturally, Qian Wanguan wanted to help the Situ Clan in the end to repay the favor.
Situ Yinian was a very strange woman. Either she felt nothing to a man, or she devoted herself to him. After she decided that Qian Wanguan was the one, she stopped seeing the other young masters or going to parties. She either stayed home to cultivate or went out with Qian Wanguan. Qian Wanguan could also feel her wholehearted devotion, which could not be faked unless Situ Yinian was an extremely gifted actress.
Three months!
It only took Qian Wanguan three months to buy off a housekeeper of the Nangong Clan, who was even an important housekeeper in the Nangong Clan's Internal Affairs Court. This man often gambled in the Dueling Ground. He was set up by Qian Wanguan, got into a large amount of gambling debt, and was easily taken in as a soul slave by the golden flood dragon.
With this housekeeper on the inside, it was very simple to continue to buy off men of the Nangong Clan. It seemed like even the god was helping them. Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan felt that they were scarily lucky. However, after thinking and experimenting for any time, they confirmed that there was no trick. They were that lucky.
The housekeeper promised to buy off three more men as long as he was given a few months. They were a patrol captain, a commander of the guards, and a housekeeper in charge of Nangong Qiling's courtyard. Only when these three men cooperated with them, they would be able to rescue Big Sister Bell's mother anytime who was—after all—an insignificant woman.
Jiang Yi came out of seclusion once over the past few months. Upon seeing that Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan had arranged everything, he didn't bother to ask and returned to seclusion again. He strove to obtain phenomenal success of the dao pattern fusion in these last few months.
Jiang Xiaonu had always been in seclusion recently, Jiang Yi didn't have time to care about her either. Anyway, she was very safe in Thearch Palace and could be taken away anytime. Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei had been staying in the Thearch Palace, too. When Jiang Yi and his group left, it wouldn't be safe for them to keep hiding there. Thus, they had to leave with Jiang Yi.
”Four months, there are still four months left. Hope that everything goes well.” Jiang Yi took a deep breath. Sitting cross-legged, he carried on with his seclusion.
