Chapter 61: Preparing to Leave
TL: Etude
After a lengthy conversation with Yue Zhong, Ye Tian had finally garnered some understanding about the Demon Sea Base. However, what Yue Zhong shared were merely common knowledge; he didn't touch upon any covert information.
Before departing, Ye Tian suddenly asked, "Pavilion Master Yue, do you happen to know Yue Ling?" Given that the both of them were surnamed Yue and both were affiliated with the Martial Pavilion, Ye Tian wondered if there might be some relation between them. His query was sparked by curiosity.
"Yue Ling and I both belong to the Yue Clan, one of the three great families that control the Martial Pavilion," Yue Zhong explained. "I'm from a branch family, whereas Yue Ling is a young mistress of the main family. Her background is much more profound than mine, and her status far surpasses my own."
"As I thought," Ye Tian mused. His guess had been correct. Even Yue Zhong's status paled in comparison to Yue Ling's. It made sense that Yue Ling had a Grand Martial Warrior as a servant. Although that servant wasn't particularly powerful, the fact that a Grand Martial Warrior servant was allocated to serve an elite warrior like Yue Ling was quite astonishing. In the Linhai Base, Grand Martial Warriors held esteemed positions; none would stoop to serve an elite warrior. Only a major family like the Yue Clan would undertake such an arrangement.
"Pavilion Master Yue, I'll trouble you again in a month," Ye Tian bid farewell.
...
Upon returning home, Ye Tian began contemplating his next moves. According to Yue Zhong, the gold cards and currency from the Linhai Base could be exchanged at the Demon Sea Bank for the currency of the Demon Sea Base. The exchange rate was two-to-one, but this was not a loss, considering that items expensive in Linhai might be cheaper in the Demon Sea Base.
"With only one month before leaving Linhai Base, I should liquidate some assets; otherwise, they'd go to waste," Ye Tian thought.
"Master Ye!" Lin Wanli and the others greeted Ye Tian when they saw him.
"Master Ye, are you leaving Linhai Base for good?" Grandmaster Li glanced at the large bags on Xiao Jin and inquired curiously.
"Yes, I plan to settle in the Demon Sea Base. Maybe I'll return if time permits," Ye Tian casually replied.
Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Li's face lit up. With Ye Tian gone, no one could overpower him at Linhai Base. He would become the only grandmaster and the strongest person there. While Ye Tian was present, he had always felt stifled and dared not be arrogant. So, Ye Tian's departure excited him the most. However, in front of Ye Tian, he kept his exhilaration hidden deep within.
After waiting for approximately an hour, Ye Tian finally saw a caravan approaching. The ground began to tremor as a series of gigantic beasts dragged a large amount of cargo toward them.
"The caravan is here!" Yue Zhong announced loudly.
Lin Wanli and the others were familiar with this caravan and showed no surprise. However, Ye Tian and Ye Yu stared curiously at the approaching convoy.
"So they use such enormous beasts as mounts for the caravan to carry the goods," Ye Tian realized at that moment just how formidable the Martial Pavilion was, incomparable to any ordinary power.
