Gate of Immortality

Chapter 171: Change of Plan

Lan Yue sat on a chair, flipping through a bunch of papers. " Wow, Li family has so many assets in Firmament City. It seems our family would need at least a month to grasp over over them." Lan Yue muttered. She was browsing through the account books of the Li family and couldn't help but become astonished. The Li family had amassed wealth greater than her Lan family. " Thankfully, with young noble's help, they were able to raze the Li family." Thinking about Yang Shi, Lan Yue's eyes became tender. Whenever she was in danger, that young man came and rescue her, like some fairytale.

Suddenly, she got startled as she felt someone's presence behind her. A hand covered her eyes as her vision blackened. " Miss Lan, were you missing me?" Lan Yue was to attack but suddenly, her expression changed when she heard the voice. " Yo-young master Yang?!" Lan Yue said in disbelieve.  Yang Shi removed his palms as he turned Lan Yue. Lan Yue's eyes turned misty as she hugged Yang Shi and gave a fierce kiss. Yang Shi was surprised at the boldness of Lan Yue as he replied even more passionately.

Their tongues intertwined as they sucked each other's mouths. After a while, their lips parted as Lan Yue gasped lightly. " Miss Lan's lips are sweet as ever." Yang Shi chuckled. Lan Yue's cheeks turned red as she hummed bashfully. " Young Master, how did you come here?" She asked in surprise. " Hehe, your family butler told me everything. I am really pleased that you able to break through the Primordial Spirit Realm." Yang Shi smiled. " All because of Young Master's pills." Lan Yue said with gratefulness.

" Is young maser is going to stay here for a while?" Lan Yue asked with strange anticipation. " Ah1 Is Miss Lan is seducing me for nightly talks?" Yang Shi raised her chin with his fingers. His left arm was already wrapped around the waist of Lan Yue as his palms were over her butt. He rubbed there gently, making Lan Yue embarrassed. " Unfortunately, I am in hurry. I have to go to the Azure Wind City." Yang Shi laughed bitterly. " Azure Wind City? The capital of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom?!" Lan Yue exclaimed. In her eyes, Azure Wind City was the same as an immortal city, with numerous Daoists and cultivators.

" Can't young master stay here only for a day?" Lan Yue sighed. She was reluctant to be parted from Yang Shi this quickly. Yang Shi hugged her as he whispered in her ears, " Don't worry, I will come back soon." Lan Yue felt her heart becoming warm as she tightly hugged Yang Shi. " Hehe, don't think I forget that you owe me a night." Yang Shi laughed. " Young Master, you are so shameless." Lan Yue chuckled as she heard Yang Shi's lewd remark. " How are things going?" Yang Shi asked.

" We are lacking manpower. But, I am confident that we will take over the business of the Li family within a month. It's just that we don't have a stable foothold in Firmament City. With Li Changfeng's status as a disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, they had established many shops in Firmament City. We really didn't know that their roots were this deep. The time we should have known, the Li family would have destroyed us." Lan Yue smiled bitterly.

" Lacking workers? Don't worry. I will send a few people here. They are skilled blacksmiths, and they would help you to manage things well. You should start some blacksmithing workshops in Firmament City. That will help you financially." Yang Shi said. Lan Yue's eyes sparkled as she heard Yang Shi. Yang Shi discussed with her for a while, after that, he got up. " Young master, you are leaving so early?" Lan Yue asked dejectedly, " Why don't you meet Xiao Hai and Father?"

" No, I am afraid if I met them, I really won't able to leave early." Yang Shi smiled. " Just focus on cultivation for now. I will come back soon." Yang Shi laughed as he left quickly. " Lan Yue sighed as he buried herself amidst the files again. Soon after that, Lan Hai came running into that room. " Elder Sister1 Do you know that Brother Yang came to Eastern Valley Town?" Lan Hai said with an excited tone. " How did you know?" Lan Yue asked. " Sister, You don't know? There is a huge Ferocious Beast at the town gate. Old butler climbed down from it and said it's the mount of Brother Yang." Lan Hai said. Lan Yue only smiled as she remained silent.

" Old Butler! You are telling the truth?" The people surrounded the middle aged butler of the Lan family as they asked him many questions. " Yes, what do you think? Young master Yang is very powerful." the butler said with a proud voice. They looked at the big crow with awe. Using such a beast as a mount, how extravagant! Suddenly, they saw a blur as someone climbed over the black crow. " Look! there he is!" Someone shouted. " Little crow, let's go!" Yang Shi laughed as the crow flapped its wings. The onlookers were astonished by the wind gales as blew their clothes. Within a few breaths, the crow became a black dot on the horizon.

Yang Shi went back to the Firmament City and went to the Golden Fire Tower. He summoned six of his students. " Teacher! You are leaving?" Shi Kun asked. " Yes, I am going to the Azure Wind City. Are you guys prepared for the adept blacksmithing exam?" Yang Shi asked. " Yes, We will give the exam in a few days." Li Gong noded. " After you give the exam, go to the Eastern Valley Town. Help Lan family in regards of weapons. You must listen to everything that their young miss says, you guys understand?" Yang Shi asked seriously. " As teacher wishes." All of them bowed.

Yang Shi told them many other things and left the Golden Fire Tower. He went to visit Old Ghost's mansion. But he became surprised that Old Ghost already left for Azure Wind City. " The heck! Why do I feel that he knew I was going to the Capital, so he went their first?" Yang Shi snorted. He bought a travel map from a store as he didn't know the route of Azure Wind City. He climbed back on the black crow as he flew to the south.

" Azure Wind City! Here I come!" Yang Shi's eyes blazed with fire as he laughed loudly.

" Ugh how much we are going to delay?" Mo Xiang asked with an annoyed tone. " What? We have already covered two third way to the capital. Now I saw here something interesting, that why we need to stop. " Mo Yi snorted.

" But there is our annual clan meeting." Mo Xiang was vexed. He totally understood that Mo Yi was delaying their journey for the sake of Yang Shi. But this time, he had a solid reason to delay. " Fuck! Where did that Double Horn Cloud Horse come from?" He cursed in his heart.

On their way, they spotted a rare Demonic beast, the Double Horn Cloud Horse. It was the peak of Demonic Beast Rank. Mo Yi insisted to capture it. Mo Shan also agreed and chose to make a temporary camp here. After all, it's just a matter of time when they reach the capital.

" Brother Yang, I hope you can also reach there in time." Mo Yi muttered in his heart as he looked at the white horse in front of him.
