Several days later.

Changning Guard, surrounding areas of the Guard City.

… Here, numerous matured farms and villas were located.

Most of the prominent families in Changning Guard would own some farms and villas inside and outside the Guard City.

These properties could not only be used as business assets, but also served as steady investments to expand their family wealth.

Upon the urgent need for money by the family, these investment properties could be sold or mortgaged to overcome financial difficulties.

The world-renowned Qian family of Longzuo had an extremely substantial asset base.

Just in the area of Changning Guard alone, they owned a significant number of fixed assets.

Among these, there lay a large estate known as “Jucui Manor”.

This “Jucui Manor” was also the largest property the Qian Family owned in Changning Guard.

Jucui Manor spread over a vast area; not only was it one of the villas of the Qian family in Changning Guard, but it also functioned as a logistics warehouse.

It was a colossal storehouse itself.

Back in the old days, Wang Shouzhe and Qian Xuean had jointly tricked the Qian family into selling a batch of grains that was transported out of Jucui Manor.

That sum of money had become the capital for Wang Shouzhe’s rise to wealth, for which Wang Shouzhe was still reminiscing.

This demonstrated the considerable foundation of the Qian Family of Longzuo.

They had similar large storage warehouses in the entire Longzuo County and some other Guard Cities outside the county.

Coupled with their vast land transport team, they had established an incredibly extensive trade network.

These were the real basis for the Qian family of Longzuo to be recognized as a dominant commercial family.

On this day.

Inside Jucui Manor, the workers were carrying on with their work as usual.

After inheriting the Qian family for so many years, they had developed a mature internal system.

Everyone was busy, diligently playing their roles in order.

The two managers of the trading company were inspecting the warehouse as part of their daily routine.

Upon meeting when no one was around, the two managers started discussing privately.

“Old Zhang,” Manager Liu sighed quietly, “It has indeed been one thing after another at our Changning branch recently.

The employees were frightened and shocked after the arrival of the twenty-third young master.

Soon after he left, the fourteenth young master came…

Ah…

When will these restless days come to an end?”

“If anyone has been unlucky, it’s the Store Manager,” said Manager Zhang regretfully.

“Our Store Manager spent twenty years leading the branch to prosperity, and then he took charge of all the branches in the Southern Six Guards.

However, the fourteenth young master used the Patriarch’s Order to dismiss him as soon as he came, which is truly chilling.

Now that the fourteenth young master has left, the family has invited him back to clean up the mess…

Ah…

If the Store Manager was not born from a concubine…

he wouldn’t have to suffer such injustice…”

“Ahem!”

Before they could finish their words, a deliberately amplified coughing sound rang from behind them.

A plump figure appeared behind them without notice and warned them, “Old Zhang, Old Liu, it is currently a turbulent time, you both should be careful with your words.”

This person was none other than Qian Xuean, who had just been urgently summoned back recently.

“Store Manager,” the two managers were startled and hurriedly saluted, “We were just chattering randomly, speaking up for you.”

“I’m no longer the Store Manager, merely back here temporarily in charge.

Don’t chatter unnecessarily, just do your job properly,” said Qian Xuean solemnly.

“The fourteenth young master will be here soon.

When the time comes, he will clean up this mess.

Don’t leave him with a bad impression.”

“Yes.”

The two managers bowed and accepted the order.

Although they were angry inwardly, they were after all, small fry, unable to influence any changes in the situation.

Time soon flew by amidst their busy work.

At noon.

A crane’s call suddenly echoed in the sky.

The people in Jucui Manor looked up to see a flying carriage being pulled by a Zhu Topecrane spiraling down from the sky.

The sky was clear, the sun was bright.

The huge Zhu Topecrane flapped its wings to fly, gracefully displaying its magnificent form.

The carriage of the flying carriage also refracted streaks of light in the sunlight, which was absolutely gorgeous and majestic.

On a closer look, it could be seen that this flying carriage was different from the ones at the Academic Palace; the Spirit Wood carriage of this flying carriage was marked with the distinctive logo of the Qian Trading Company.

The curtains hanging from the carriage were colored a luxurious black and gold, markedly contrasting from the style of the Academic Palace.

Clearly, this flying carriage belonged to the Qian Family of Purple Abode.

It must be known that a flying carriage is an extremely luxurious mode of transportation.

Besides the expensive cost of purchasing one, the annual maintenance cost was also unaffordable for common prominent families.

Moreover, in Longzuo County, only the Academic Palace of Purple Abode was capable of breeding and raising Level Four Zhu Topecranes.

Therefore, some of the top prominent families of Longzuo County would buy Spirit Bird Flying Carriages from the Academic Palace for personal use.

Firstly, it was because they genuinely had such needs; secondly, it was also to display their strength.

The Qian Family of Longzuo owned two Spirit Bird Flying Carriages.

However, normally, legitimate sons did not have the privilege to ride the Spirit Bird Flying Carriages.

Only the Family Head and the Old Ancestor of the family had such qualification.

Alternatively, some elders could also use it during critical times.

This time, Qian Xuehan took the Spirit Bird Flying Carriage to the south.

This must have been arranged by the Family Head, Qian Qinhong, and there must have been some intent behind it.

Very soon, the Spirit Bird Flying Carriage directly landed on the plaza inside “Jucui Manor”.

Qian Xuehan and a few others stepped off the carriage one after another.

Besides the servants following him, an impressive looking Elder standing behind Qian Xuehan was rather eye-catching.

Seeing this, Qian Xuean, who had come to greet him, felt a jolt in his heart.

With just one glance, he recognized that this was Elder Qian Jingde, one of the elders of the Qian Family.
