652 Red Spring City, meeting Chu Long again
Feng Yun's group arrived in Lin City a few days ago. Lin City was far away from the Royal Academy of the Black Tortoise Empire. Feng Yun decided to stay in Lin City for some time before figuring out the situation of the Black Tortoise Empire.
Naturally, the most powerful force was the Royal Family of the Black Tortoise Empire. Naturally, Martial Art Academy was stronger than the royal family, it didn't interfere with worldly affairs.
Other than the Martial Art Academy, there were a few strong sects in the empire's region.
"Feng Yun, how long are we going to stay here?" Yan Zilan curiously asked.
"Let's stay for a few more days. Then we will go to the Black Tortoise City." Feng Yun said casually.
The Black Tortoise City was the royal city of the Black Tortoise Empire as well as the biggest city.
"I like this city; we can live here for a bit longer." Tang Yue said lightly.
"Well, it's up to you guys. Whenever you feel like it." Feng Yun shrugged his shoulder and replied. He wasn't in a hurry.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the room. Seeing him entering the room, Feng Yun put away food and asked, "Did you find something?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I have inquired about the people you have asked for."
Meeting his old friends from Mystic Heaven Peak was his first priority of Feng Yun. His cousin (Mu Wenquan), Yang Jian, Jiao Mingyue with others who were currently studying at the Royal Academy of the Empire.
"What about the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion?" Feng Yun asked again. When he met Liu Mingxia last time, she said that she wanted to extend her business into the Black Tortoise Empire.
After dominating the Long Imperial Dynasty, Liu Clan were thinking of spreading out their business into the empires as well and the Liu Clan had some connections in the Black Tortoise Empire so that was why they chose the Black Tortoise Empire.
"Phoenix Treasure Pavilion appeared in Red Spring City around a year ago and started their business. As they are new in the city, their growth is slow. They have yet to extend their business outside the Red Spring City."
"Okay!" Feng Yun nodded. Looks like Liu Mingxia's clan wasn't doing very well here. Feng Yun thought inwardly. At least, they found a foothold in the empire.
"Red Spring City? Where is it?" Feng Yun asked curiously.
"Red Spring City is not very far away from here. It is one of the biggest cities of the Black Tortoise Empire. The Royal Academy is also close to Red Spring City." Sun replied.
"Huh, I thought Academy is established in the Black Tortoise City." Feng Yun was surprised. According to the records, the royal academy was founded by the royal family of the Black Tortoise Empire. It should be built around the imperial city.
They spent a few more days in Lin City before heading toward Red Spring City. Fortunately, no accident occurred during their journey as his group acted in a low-key manner and didn't provoke unnecessary people.
After arriving at the Red Spring City, Feng Yun finally witnessed the grandness of the Red Spring City. It was a really huge city. While walking on the street, Feng Yun was stunned to see that even a casual pedestrian was an earth-profound realm cultivator. Sky and Heaven Profound Realm cultivators were common to see, even Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators could be seen from time to time.
Feng Yun's group found an inn to settle down.
Next, Feng Yun went to find Liu Mingxia alone. One hour later, he was standing in front of the building 'Phoenix Treasure Store'.
As he entered the store, a receptionist came forward to welcome him, "Welcome sir, what do you want to buy?"
"I am looking for a friend of mine. Liu Mingxia, is she here?" Feng Yun asked the girl.
After hearing Liu Mingxia's name from his mouth, the receptionist girl was surprised. She paused as she looked at him for a moment and said, "Sorry, but Miss Liu is not present currently."
"Oh, where is she?" Feng Yun asked again.
"May I ask why are looking for Miss Liu?" The girl asked lightly.
"I am her friend. Just tell her that Feng Yun has come to meet her. She will understand." Feng Yun said lightly.
The receptionist girl couldn't help but stare at him for a moment while pondering inwardly. Liu Mingxia was beautiful, and despite being new in the city, she has already a few suitors. Occasionally, the young men come to the Phoenix Treasure Store to meet her, only to be turned down by her. She was about to send him away, but held back.
"Miss Liu has gone to store number one, you can go there to find her, or you can come back tomorrow." The girl said as she told him about the others stores. Turned out, Liu Mingxia has opened four stores in Red Spring City. The Red Spring City was huge, she opened four branches already and kept trying to extend further.
"Okay!" Feng Yun nodded slowly.
As they sat down, a girl brought tea and poured it into cups.
14:56
"So, how is business?" Feng Yun took a sip and asked curiously.
"Feng Yun!" Suddenly, someone called out his name. Feng Yun turned around and looked at the person curiously who called out.
It was none other than old man Chu Long. Seeing the familiar face of Chu Long, a smile appeared on Feng Yun's face. Chu Long was Stewart of the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion as well, one of the elders of the Liu Clan who followed Liu Mingxia to the Black Tortoise Empire. Not all members of the Liu Clan came to the empire.
"Greeting Manager Chu!" The receptionist girl also looked at the old man and greeted respectfully. Chu Long nodded light toward her and focused on Feng Yun.
"Hello, Elder Chu! How are you?" Feng Yun smiled widely and walked toward him.
"I am good. How about you? It's been a while." Chu Long smiled lightly and spoke. "When did you come here?"
Feng Yun replied. "I just arrived here."
Chu Long nodded and said, "Let's move into the guest room and talk more over tea."
"Sure!" Feng Yun nodded. After that, Chu Long led him to the guest room.
On the other side, the reception girl was feeling fortunate that she didn't offend the young man. The way they were talking, they seemed friendly.
As they sat down, a girl brought tea and poured it into cups.
"So, how is business?" Feng Yun took a sip and asked curiously.
"Well, it is not bad. Compared to the Long Imperial Dynasty, they are multiple competitors here in the empire. It was tough at the start, but slowly getting better and better." Chu Long said as he told him about the business.
"And what about you? How is your cultivation..." Chu Long asked and stopped abruptly as a shocked look appeared in his eyes.
At this time, Chu Long curiously looked at the cultivation of Feng Yun and shocked inwardly, "You... sovereign! When did you become sovereign?" Stormy waves appeared in his heart when he looked at Feng Yun. Just how did he do it? Even the most outstanding genius of the Black Tortoise Empire reached Sovereign Profound Realm at the age of 28. Yet, Feng Yun had reached Sovereign Profound Realm before the age of twenty-five.
Feng Yun smiled and replied, "Just not long ago."
"No wonder why Young miss is very optimistic about you; you are really heaven's child." Chu Long sighed in amazement.
"By the way, where is Liu Mingxia?"
"Well, she is not here, I will take you to meet her." Chu Long said with a smile.
