On the road from Nanyang County to Luo City and Pengcheng, nearly one hundred horse-drawn carriages of the Mu Hui Caravan rumbled forward. Apart from the central area, where the carriages were uniformly dark black, the rest were of various designs.
In the central area of the Mu Hui Caravan, inside an ancient and simple dark carriage, Zhu Yexin was pouring tea for an elderly woman with all-white hair.
"Yexin, have you thought this through? Your reputation is already quite poor. If you truly wish to do this, you simply cannot keep it hidden from those merchants, nor from the business communities of Nanyang County and Qingyang County," the elderly woman, Zhu Huazhi, reminded her again.
The audacity of the young girl before her was astonishing—to think she wanted to swallow the entire caravan in one go. She had a proper path but insisted on taking the Demon Tao. Aside from the guards and menial workers, only about forty-odd merchants remained.
