Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 5 But, I refuse
Among the thirteen states of Yue State, Lanzhou ranks eighth, but in terms of wealth, it is only second to Xinzhou.

Although Jiayuan City is not the capital of Lanzhou, it is undoubtedly the largest city in Lanzhou.

Relying on the Xiang-Lu Grand Canal that runs through the entire Yue State, countless merchants and travelers pass through Jiayuan City every year.

This also greatly enhanced the commercial activities in Jiayuan City.

On both sides of the Xianglu Grand Canal in Jiayuan City, there are many car shops and docks, almost covering the entire Jiayuan City.

There was an endless stream of ships on the Xianglu Grand Canal. Finally, the ship that Jiang Tongyue was on docked on a high platform made of bluestone.

After getting off the boat, a group of people immediately surrounded her, eager to promote themselves to Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue pointed at a porter who looked quite pleasing to the eye, and then handed the package on his shoulder to him.

Jiang Tongyue, who wanted to stroll along the Grand Canal of Xianglu, was not in a hurry to go to the Mo Mansion. He just leisurely enjoyed the scenery in Jiayuan City.

The porter walked in front of Jiang Tongyue and told him about the customs and practices in Jiayuan City.

Near noon, Jiang Tongyue entered the southern area of ​​the city. The Jingjiao Society is still one of the three overlords in Lanzhou today, and it does not want to decline and shrink to a small southern area of ​​Jiayuan City like it would in a few years.

Therefore, now in Jiayuan City, it can be said that Jingjiao Society is the only dominant one, unlike the mixed crowd in the original book.

However, all this has nothing to do with Jiang Tongyue.

What he promised Mo Juren was just to let Mo Juren's wives and daughters live a peaceful life.

This time he came to Jiayuan City, he just wanted to learn about the latest situation of Jingjiao Society and then make his own plans.

After getting to know Jiayuan City a little, Jiang Tongyue rewarded the porter with some silver and then dismissed him.

After that, Jiang Tongyue submitted a visiting card directly to the Mo Mansion. With Mo Juren's letter as evidence, Jiang Tongyue soon met several of Mo Juren's wives.

The current Mo Mansion, just like in the original novel, is managed by Mo Juren's fourth wife, Yan. Upon learning that someone had come to their house with a letter from Mo Juren, Yan and the other ladies immediately met with Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue was in the reception room, and the first person to arrive was Mo Juren's fourth wife, Yan.

Yan is only about twenty-two or twenty-three years old now. As she holds a high position and takes good care of herself, she looks like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

"I wonder what your name is? And where is my husband now? When will he come back?"

As soon as she came up, Yan couldn't suppress her emotions and asked Jiang Tongyue anxiously.

Mo Juren has been away from Jingjiao Society for more than two years now. Not only does she miss Mo Juren, but even this huge Jingjiao Society needs Mo Juren to take power.

In response to Yan's question, Jiang Tongyue remained calm. He took out the letter that Mo Juren had given him from his arms and handed it to Yan in front of him.

After receiving the letter, Yan opened it immediately and read it in the living room without hiding it from Jiang Tongyue.

After a while, Yan finished reading the entire letter, but after reading it, she looked a little worried.

Jiang Tongyue understood in her heart that this was because Yan had noticed that there was a secret message hidden in the letter.

When Mo Juren left Jiayuan City, he told his wives that if the handwritten letter his client brought back did not contain a secret message, it meant that he was safe, but if there was a secret message, it meant that something had happened to him.

Jiang Tongyue didn't care about the secret message Mo Juren left in the letter. He would do the same if he were in her shoes.

"It turned out to be Master Jiang. Thank you so much for bringing back this handwritten letter for me. I am so grateful."

Yan put down the letter in silence, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and spoke to Jiang Tongyue.

She originally thought that Jiang Tongyue was just a friend that Mo Juren met outside, but she didn't expect that Jiang Tongyue was actually an immortal cultivator. Yan Shi did not doubt Jiang Tongyue's identity as an immortal cultivator. In Jiayuan City, many powerful people knew about the existence of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, her attitude towards Jiang Tongyue also became respectful.

"It's okay, it's just a convenience."

Jiang Tongyue waved his hand and promised Mo Juren that he would protect everyone in the Mo family and ensure that they would live a worry-free life, while Mo Juren would take care of his disciple Han Li for him.

The two parties are in a trading relationship, so it is naturally not a case of one owing anyone anything.

"That being said, we dare not forget the great kindness of Master Jiang."

Yan's attitude was very thorough, and he completely put himself in the position of a subordinate.

Although Jingjiaohui is one of the three overlords of Lanzhou, it is nothing in front of immortal cultivators.

If Jiang Tongyue were to be angered, the entire Jingjiao Society would probably disappear.

Jiang Tongyue could guess a little bit about what Yan was thinking, but even though she understood it, she still felt a little comfortable.

"I think Mo Juren also mentioned it in the letter. I once promised him that I would keep your Mo Mansion safe and sound, so I specially did this."

Jiang Tongyue no longer hesitated and went straight to the point when speaking to Yan.

"Yes, my husband has already told me about the Immortal Master in his letter."

Hearing this, Yan nodded slightly, her tone gentle, and she looked pitiful.

"In that case, the Jing Jiao Club will stay in Jiayuan City from now on, and don't get involved in the battle for supremacy in Lanzhou. As for dominating the Villa and the Five Colors Gate, I will go there later."

Looking at Yan's pitiful appearance, Jiang Tongyue's heart was not shaken at all, and her tone was full of unquestionableness.

As long as Jing Jiao hides in Jiayuan City and dominates the villa and the Five-Colored Gate, he will not kill all of the Mo Mansion.

He believed that both Duba Villa and Wushemen would be happy to give him this face.

Jiang Tongyue doesn't want to waste too much time in the secular world.

The most important thing for him now is to break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. After he can enter and exit the Yellow Maple Valley freely, he can then get some rewards.

With the powerful system of cashback for recruiting disciples, Jiang Tongyue will definitely have the strength to protect himself when the evil sect invades.

"Master Immortal, Jingjiao Society is one of the three overlords of Lanzhou after all. If you can help Jingjiao Society unify Lanzhou, then Jingjiao Society will obey your command."

Yan hesitated for a moment, raised her head and looked at Jiang Tongyue pitifully. She decided to give it a try.

"I have to say, Madam Mo, you are really good at speaking. I can't help but feel a little moved by what you said."

As Jiang Tongyue spoke, a hint of interest appeared on his face.

"So, Master Immortal, you agree?"

Seeing Jiang Tongyue's somewhat moved expression, Yan couldn't help but show a look of surprise in her eyes.

"But, I refuse."

Jiang Tongyue refused righteously.
