Chapter 5: Young Nobleman
At the gate of Tianshui City.
Liu Yanyang looked at the large merchant station at the city gate. Several caravans were already preparing goods.
Signs were hung with routes marked, and loud shouts were heard: "Caravan transportation, we can provide protection throughout the journey, the price is fair, and we are honest."
Liu Yanyang stood quietly by the roadside, staring at the shouter with a burning gaze.
Before long, a feasible plan gradually emerged in Liu Yanyang's mind, and he began to consider the feasibility of the plan.
After a while, looking at the merchant station, Liu Yanyang's mouth curled up, and he said to himself, "I hope everything goes well."
After saying this, he walked towards an ordinary restaurant, went in, paid, and booked a room.
After closing the door, Liu Yanyang took a comfortable hot bath, wiped his body, and found a set of luxurious and exquisite clothes from the storage Spirit guide.
After putting them on, he stood before the mirror, gazing at his delicate features, fair skin, and handsome features. His eyebrows were sharp as swords, his eyes were like stars, and his brows exuded a heroic air. Combined with his attire, he clearly belonged to a wealthy family.
Anyone who saw him would be confused. He was clearly a young master of some noble family, truly noble.
After gathering his belongings, Liu Yanyang took a deep breath, raised his lips slightly, opened the door, and headed for the restaurant's main entrance.
Along the way, he attracted many glances, some scrutinizing him, some whispering to each other, wondering which noble young master he was.
The usually confident Liu Yanyang now looked a little embarrassed; he had never been stared at like this before.
Finally reaching the main entrance, Liu Yanyang wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a few deep breaths.
He tried to maintain a relaxed demeanor, appearing like a genuine young master of the nobility, before heading towards the business post.
The portly steward in charge of the caravan's transportation was directing the servants to carefully carry the valuables.
He couldn't bear the thought of losing or damaging even one item, so he couldn't help but glance over.
Suddenly, he saw a boy approaching him. His attire and unique demeanor suggested he was someone of some prominent family.
He immediately narrowed his eyes, grinned, and trotted over to the boy, fawningly asking, "Young Master, where are you going? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing this fawning expression, Liu Yanyang suppressed his discomfort and asked calmly, "Which caravans are leaving today?"
"Four caravans are leaving this afternoon: one for Heaven Dou City, one for Star Luo City, one for Suoto City, and one for Longxing City. Where are you planning to go, young master? I can contact a caravan escort right away!" the steward said flatteringly.
Upon hearing about a caravan heading to Longxing City, Liu Yanyang's brows relaxed, a hint of joy forming. He then said calmly,
"No need. How much does a caravan to Heaven Dou City cost?"
The fat steward immediately replied, "Twenty gold soul coins. Do you need additional protection?"
His face flushed, his expression becoming increasingly lewd. "Of course, there are also special services. Do you require them, young master?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyang immediately revealed a look of disdain, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Do you think I'll be short of guards, or that they can't protect me? Put away your filthy thoughts."
"Prepare a separate carriage for me. Don't worry about anything else. Let the caravan go first, and I'll catch up. Here are fifty gold soul coins."
With that, his bracelet flashed, and a bag of gold soul coins appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to the fat steward.
Liu Yanyang then ignored him and headed towards the city gate.
"Yes, yes, it's just a small question. I know I was wrong."
"Thank you for the reward, young master. I will have the caravan satisfy any of your needs," the fat steward said with a beaming smile, shaking the purse in his hand.
After exiting the city gate, he headed straight for the official road towards Longxing City.
Heaven Dou City is located in the southwest of the Far North, while Longxing City is located in the southeast. This can only serve to confuse the audience, trading distance for time.
Three or five days later, when Sarris's men track down Tianshui City, they'll only know that he's gone there.
It will take at least ten days for them to react after the incident.
Returning to Tianshui City will take several more days.
By then, locating his exact location will be virtually impossible.
The only way to find out where he is is to wait for the caravan to return from Longxing City to Tianshui City.
Capturing him then will be practically impossible, unless they dare to cross the border to capture him, but that would be tantamount to seeking death...
The sun set, its glaring sunlight gradually fading, leaving only patches of sunset glow drifting across the horizon, its afterglow softly casting a soft glow across the earth.
The number of pedestrians and carriages on the official road gradually decreased, and calm gradually returned.
A caravan was seen approaching slowly in the distance. Liu Yanyang, observing this, emerged from the bushes on the side of the official road.
The caravan's leader, staring straight ahead, suddenly spotted a small figure standing by the roadside.
As he approached, he saw it was the young nobleman who had commanded the attention of the inn's manager at noon!
He dismounted his horse, trotted over to Liu Yanyang's side, and addressed him respectfully.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
Liu Yanyang stared at the leader, frowning slightly, his tone somewhat cold.
"I have business to attend to in Longxing City. Prepare a separate carriage and meal for me. Don't let anyone disturb me. Here are two hundred gold soul coins."
With that, the Spirit guide flashed, tossing two bags of gold coins at the leader. "Don't make any unnecessary movements, or you'll know what's happening," he added.
The leader hurriedly caught the bags, a cold sweat breaking out at his words.
He was just a small Soul Sect, and the young masters from such a big force all had guards, not to mention this one who was so heroic and imposing, he must have guards at the Soul Emperor level.
He could not afford to offend him, so he hurriedly said respectfully, "Young Master, don't worry, your request will be prepared, and it will not affect you."
Then, Liu Yanyang walked towards the carriage prepared for him. When he got on the carriage, he happened to look in the direction of Tianshui City.
Looking at Tianshui City, which was gradually moving away, becoming blurred and about to fall into darkness.
He could not help but feel emotional. There used to be a small courtyard in the Extreme North City that belonged to their family of three, but now it has become a ruin, and his home is no longer there.
Looking back and looking forward, the warm afterglow of the setting sun was gradually dissipating from him, and dusk began to cover the road ahead.
"Where can it be my home!"
Then, he got directly into the carriage, and the caravan returned to normal and continued to drive forward.
