Nice Young Master

Shang family Manor, Yanzhou region, Canglang continent

Unlike the great sects that occupied the mystical Qi Yuan mountain regions, the immortal noble families dwelt in the secular world, among the masses yet forever above them.

Within yet without, and among the noble families the Shang family was one of the greatest and most prestigious.

On a luxurious jade bed, Shang Jing Mei laid lazily, beside her Mang Jin was giving reports his brows forrowed in worry.

Ever since the issue of the blood demons invasion of the Eastern region and they having to pack up, the young lady had been at a disadvantage in the succession battles.

They didn't even have a base and standing right now.

The young lady had gone to the Eastern region, carving it out solely as her base of operations and had established numerous Treasure Pavilion branches there flourishing, she has always been esteemed and a top contender for the Leader position.

But as she had flourished there, the other contenders had made do over here, demarcating different territories in the Canglan continent, now that they had left the Eastern region they had no base of operations and the other competitors were not even willing to let her have the tiniest of territory to set up base and begin a new.

Shang Jing Mei was intelligent, beautiful and very attractive , extremely talented in both cultivation and business, together with being a favoured daughter of the Shang Family head, the others didn't want to give her any avenue, in fact they were now deliberately stifflying an move she made.

They had a lot of resources and wealth from packing up their wide base of operations in the Eastern region but were they to just sit still and continue to do nothing again.

It wasn't there wasn't some places to be allocated to Shang Jing Mei but all these places were either really small for them or really far from the true wealth markets.

Throughout Shang Jing Mei just laid lazily as Mang Jin just kept on with reports upon reports, non quite good news.

Although Mang Jin knew this was his lady's usual temperament, not that she was indifferent to the reports, it did nothing to allay his worries.

Into his reports Mang Jin heard a buzz sound as a communication talisman rang with sweet bird chirping tone.

Mang Jin knew his Lady had a message and withdrew to the doorway, communication talismans were used to cultivators to talk along very distance using their Spirit sense.

There was the general kind of communication talisman that anyone that had the talismans unique mark could communicate with the owner, there was also an exclusive kind that came in pairs or few numbers for more personal communication.

Although Shang Jing Mei didn't easily give her unique talisman mark but as someone that did business, she had given a lot of people though.

As it was quite necessary to maintain communication with business partners.

But her personal exclusive talisman mark only few people had it, and that bird chirping was it's ring tone.

Shang Jing Mei brought out the communication talisman and as she looked at it, the name of the sender involuntarily put a smile on her face.

It had been a while she had seen him, did he miss her, chuckling Shang Jing Mei thought.

Not considering the fact that Zhan Shenwei was messaging for something else, or that it was close to another month, he was just casually reaching out before the next salary.

When Zhan Shenwei said he sent a message, one would have thought it was quite something, but it was really casual.

" Hi, how're you " , very simple normal two phrases but Shang Jing Mei didn't know why she felt happy.

The message was quite short, apart from the previous two phrases, the last two was " just entered your Treasure Pavilion branch in the bright jade City, are you in? "

Bright jade City though a port city had no main Treasure Pavilion branch, the branch there was a minor one.

Communication talisman used spirit sense to communicate, there was no need to speak words.

But perhaps because it was spirit sense involved, Shang Jing's subconsciousness moved replying before she could react.

" No, on a trip, should be around next week, let's meet ".

Looking at her reply Shang Jing froze.

No!, true, she wasn't there, but what was " on a trip " , like she was there before, " should be around next week, let's meet ".

If not for the fact that she was holding the talisman she wouldn't have believed she sent the message herself, why did she?.

A very intelligent person, Shang Jing Mei's brain spun rapidly deducing the situation.

she truly wanted to see him!

Was this a crush, blushing to her self she put her communication talisman back into her storage ring and said to Mang Jin at the doorway.

" Among the available locations, Bright jade City is there right, prepare, we'd be setting up operations there within a week"

Mang Jin at the doorway froze, the young lady had received a message, blushed, and decided on bright jade City.

Was the message and decision related ?

Even if it wasn't, still, Mang Jin almost wept tears.

Bright jade wasn't a very small city but it wasn't a high tier city either, apart from the port nothing else.

What was going on!

.....

It didn't take quite long for Shang Jing Mei's response to reach Zhan Shenwei at the Treasure Pavilion, seeing it Zhan Shenwei felt it was best to wait for Shang Jing Mei before he handled the matters he wanted to.

He knew he couldn't lose by doing so, he could only gain, as she would stand for his best interests, he just felt she would.

But since he was already here in the Treasure Pavilion, he could take a quick look around.

Looks like he was going to be staying at the inn for a bit more time.

Entering the hall, Ji Ji led Zhan Shenwei to steward Li, steward Li was one of the core personel of the Treasure Pavilion right under the manager, he was Ji Ji's direct superior who he gave the information he sourced to.

He hadn't thought much at the moment due to being in shock, but now he realized the young noble immortal no matter what, the residence he bought would be luxurious and worth a lot right?, as the person that brought him here he would gain a good commission!

Thinking of this he smiled brightly.

Zhan Shenwei already knowing he wasn't getting anything at least not now, but still he allowed himself to be swept by steward Li as he was shown pictures of various residences.

After looking through perfunctorily a bit, and not wanting to just go empty handed or kill the enthusiasm of the steward who was excited at a mansion purchase, or disappoint the person who patiently brought him here, he asked for some monster meat.

Buying a good amount, he left saying he would be coming again.

Leaving the pavilion, Zhan Shenwei cupped his fist in gratitude to Ji Ji, he had taken a quite a chunk of this man's time.

Ji Ji smiled cringly at Zhan Shenwei, " this young immortal was quite polite ".

The other nobles or immortals wouldn't even look twice at someone like him.

if he served them it was an honor for him to do so, if he even did any free deed for them, something like this, they would still think it was an honor for him to do so for them.

Although Zhan Shenwei didn't buy the residence today, just the monster meat he bought was quite a sum so he was still getting a juicy commission today, he almost couldn't wait for Zhan Shenwei to leave so he could enter inside back to receive the commission.

Thinking it was all over, Zhan Shenwei brought out about 3 gold bars and handed them to Ji Ji in a light pleading tone, " Please accept me token of gratitude ".

Ji Ji froze in shock, " oh heavens, what a nice good immortal", three gold bars, this was ten years of bootlicking, flattering, labour, and commission for selling good information for Ji Ji.

Ten years!, one had to know based on his location he seldom came in contact with good information.

After all in the lower rungs of the outer city, was Butcher bi's wife is sleeping with drunkard du an information worth for the Treasure Pavilion to open their coffers and pay him.

And also after settling his boys, meals, gifts, expenses, leisure, there was only a little sum left behind from their struggles.

But now, three gold bars!

Ji Ji was almost moved into tears, " what a nice handsome young master "

Accepting the gold bars and quickly tucking it into his bossom Ji Ji smiled widely as he bowed, the edges of his mouth reached the sides of his face.

" No problem, My lord, my name is Ji Ji", thumping his chest he said, " if my lord needs anything this servant is at your command "

Already determined to ingrain, no serve this good master, Ji Ji was already offering his service to Zhan Shenwei.

Zhan Shenwei a bit surprised by his offer, then nodded his head, wasn't he looking for someone to help one his behalf on matters in the Bright jade City, this Ji Ji looked quite versed in certain matters, he would do.

.....

Putting aside the commission, well for now!, Ji Ji followed Zhan Shenwei to his inn, even knowing his room number, before leaving.

It wasn't till the evening Zhan Shenwei retired to room, today had eventful, from receiving duties and learning about the city guard base operations, to deciding on getting a residence, then Ji Ji.

he laid on the bed for a few minutes before getting up.

No time to waste, and to be honest he didn't really get tired.

He would go downstairs and have the inn keeper prepare some of the monster meat for him.

He only had to pay a bit.

Monster meat directly rich in vital essense was very suitable for his Primordial chaos god physique cultivation.

He also had to cultivate spirit qi and had some reading to do, he had received a short parchment on the city guard operations.

Although the clerk earlier and Li Bi had explained some things to him, also reading from the official information was best.
