Merchant Zhu Visits

Farming was going to be a long-term investment. Wuyi did not plan to depend solely on the farm of Sylvaris Dewroot to enhance his influence in the region. Huanghou and Kaliyuan, being among the largest trade zones for the desert and central areas, were eyed not just by traders but by many robbers and attackers as well. Sometimes, competitive traders even hired people to rob their competitors. Wuyi planned to leverage these situations to his advantage.

After assigning Yun Ming with the task, Wuyi moved onto his next project. He called the wealthy merchant Zhu Dexin, to whom Wuyi had paid a hefty sum to buy a noble title. Wuyi knew this merchant was reliable. While Wuyi was away saving the two brutes, merchant Zhu had properly watched over the trades of Wuyi's new clan and Wuyi's estate. Although this merchant could be easily reached, there was no sign of his clan member from whom Wuyi had bought the noble title.
