Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 163 Yu Xiaolie's Fame
Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er blushed slightly at Martin's praise, and then leaned closer to Yu Xiaolie.

As he spoke, Martin slapped Yu Xiaolie on the shoulder and laughed heartily:

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, and it's not easy to get together like this. Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"

Yu Xiaolie's shoulder trembled slightly as Martin patted him. He hadn't expected Martin's strength to have improved so much. He smiled and said:
"Of course!"

That evening, Martin hosted a banquet in the Chamber of Commerce's most luxurious banquet hall, inviting Yu Xiaolie, A Yin, and Shui Qing'er.

Accompanying them were several businessmen from the chamber of commerce and their hired high-level Soul Master bodyguards.

The spacious banquet hall was brightly lit, and more than a dozen mahogany round tables were laden with delicious delicacies.

All of this left Shui Qing'er and A Yin dazzled.

This Martin is so extravagant.

The roasted suckling pig was glistening with oil, and there were plates of grouper topped with bright green scallions.

In particular, there were also various seasonal fresh vegetables arranged in exquisite platters.

At this moment, the guests at the banquet were toasting and laughing, their voices mingling with the aroma of wine, echoing throughout the hall.

Ah Yin and Shui Qing'er sat beside Yu Xiaolie, one elegantly sipping fruit wine, the other enthusiastically studying the local specialty honey pastries.

Martin stayed close to Yu Xiaolie the whole time. He was so happy that he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

He lowered his voice, slightly drunk, and said:

“My dad has handed over his business to me. From now on, I will be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in Sivir City, just like you, hahaha. From now on, we will be business partners.”

It was clear that he was genuinely happy. Back in the far north, he was always the most outspoken and straightforward person, and he still is now.

As he spoke, Martin raised his glass and slammed it against Yu Xiaolie's glass, making a crisp sound.

The senior Soul Masters and several key businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce all cast curious glances at Martin, who was accompanying Yu Xiaolie in such a state.

Yu Xiaolie's elegant and noble demeanor made everyone present even more curious about his identity.

Although they knew that Martin was hosting a banquet tonight to welcome the direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Sect.

But looking at Yu Xiaolie's ordinary appearance, there seemed to be nothing special about him.

In their memory, they seemed to have no recollection of such an important figure among the business partners of the Chamber of Commerce, and had never even seen this person in the Kingdom of Sivir.

In particular, the presence of two stunning beauties beside him further accentuated Yu Xiaolie's extraordinary qualities.

At that moment, Martin suddenly stood up unsteadily and tapped his wine glass with his spoon.

Then, a series of crisp knocking sounds gradually quieted down the noisy banquet hall.

"Everyone!"

Martin's rough voice resounded throughout the venue, slightly intoxicated, yet extremely loud:

"Let me introduce you all. This is Yu Xiaolie from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and also my sworn brother!"

Back in the far north, if he hadn't shielded me from the claws of that ten-thousand-year-old ice bear, my arm would have been devoured by a soul beast long ago!

As Martin spoke, he paid no attention to the wine glass in his hand and rolled up his sleeve, revealing three hideous scars on his left arm.

A gasp of surprise immediately filled the room, and the elders of the Chamber of Commerce stroked their beards and nodded, suddenly realizing what was happening.

Martin's position in the Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly that of a leader, someone who treated others like brothers, and naturally, everyone had to show him respect.

The Chamber of Commerce's general manager, Lao Liu, raised his glass and said loudly, "Chairman Martin's brother is our brother, and from now on, Yu Xiaolie will be our good partner!"

The entire audience raised their glasses and shouted, "Welcome Yu Xiaolie!"

After several rounds of drinks, everyone gradually became drunk.

Yu Xiaolie then leaned closer to Martin and asked, "Brother, have you ever encountered any wolf bandits while transporting goods?"

"Wolf bandits?"

Upon hearing this, Martin's thick brows furrowed, and even his drunkenness seemed to sober him up somewhat. Seeing Yu Xiaolie's serious expression, he quickly circulated his soul power to alleviate some of the effects of the alcohol. Then, Martin thought carefully for a moment and said:

"I've never heard of that before. The goods shipped out by the Chamber of Commerce have always been transported back and forth normally, and there have been no thefts."

Yu Xiaolie lowered his head in deep thought. Seeing this, Martin turned to look at the white-haired old Liu beside him and asked:

"Is this happening?"

Old Liu put down his chopsticks, his face serious, and replied:
"President Martin, it is true, but these bandits are very cunning. They only rob caravans from other places and never target our local chamber of commerce, so I never reported it."

So that's how it is. It seems these wolf bandits are quite clever, not just reckless and brave, knowing that local bullies shouldn't be offended easily.

These beasts know how to assess the situation and target outsiders to ensure their longevity.

No wonder everything seemed normal when the sect delivered the goods. They jumped out and robbed them on the way back after the transaction was completed and the money was received.

After all, robbing goods is not very useful to them; they might as well just rob money.

As Yu Xiaolie was pondering, Martin suddenly slammed his fist on the table, making the dishes bounce.

"Damn it! What they're doing is no different from cutting off our source of income! If this continues, which business partner will want to do business here in the future?"

Martin roared, the lingering effects of the alcohol mixed with his anger causing the veins on his neck to bulge.

Then, Martin spoke sternly and righteously:
"I will definitely rally all the chambers of commerce in the city and the surrounding towns to jointly crack down on the criminal gang! Moreover, tomorrow, I will personally escort you out of the city. I want to see which bastards dare to mess with me!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie solemnly said, "Thank you."

He certainly knew what Martin's statement meant. With the Chamber of Commerce president personally stepping in, at least the transportation routes belonging to the Blue Lightning Sect would receive some protection in the future.

After all, those bandits wouldn't dare to easily attack their local chamber of commerce.

Martin's willingness to contribute manpower and effort is a much better outcome than Yu Xiaolie had originally anticipated!

Martin waved his hand, his drunkenness subsiding slightly, and said, "Between brothers, it's too formal to talk about this."

As night deepened, the banquet lasted for a long time before it finally ended.

……

The next day, as dawn broke, Yu Xiaolie and his group were all ready to set off.

Martin only brought three attendants: a tall, thin, agility-type Soul Master; a burly, defensive-type Soul Master carrying a giant shield; and a support-type female Soul Master who always squinted.

They rode identical black-maned horses, with various weapons hanging from their saddles, gleaming coldly in the morning light.

"You only brought this few people?"

Shui Qing'er tugged at Yu Xiaolie's sleeve and asked.

Yu Xiaolie smiled and squeezed Shui Qing'er's fingertips, saying, "The three heroes of the Sivir Chamber of Commerce are all Soul Emperors."

As soon as he finished speaking, the squinty-eyed woman suddenly turned her head, a strange purple light flashing in her pupils, and nodded to Yu Xiaolie.

The group traveled for several days.

The convoy swaggered along the official road, leaving the town far behind.

The wheat fields beside the road rippled with golden waves, layer upon layer, and the group chose to rest under a large tree.

As soon as everyone landed and rested, Ah Yin suddenly felt something was wrong.

Immediately, Ah Yin quietly released her Blue Silver Domain to sense her surroundings. The roots of the Blue Silver Grass took hold and spread into the distance, but she could feel strange auras coming from the ground.

Ah Yin let out a soft "hmm" and said, "Something's not right about this wheat field."

Suddenly! A mournful wolf howl echoed from afar.

"Ouch——"
