Wen Chuanye was sitting in his study, reading a book. He was very satisfied with his current life. The Wen family was not considered a big family, but it was considered a medium-sized family. The Deer City that they were in was a big city-state. The Deer City controlled 45 city-states and was very powerful. They were not afraid of the attacks of the surrounding city-states, so their life was relatively stable.
Logically speaking, it was not difficult for the Wen family to develop in such a city-state. However, the Wen family had not developed. Wen Chuanye was very clear about the reason. It was because the Wen family had someone in the secret territory.
Wen Wenhai. When he thought of his son, Wen Chuanye's heart could not help but ache. Wen Chuanye had three sons in total. The eldest was Wen Wenjiang, the second was Wen Wenhe, and the third was Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai was the smartest and the most talented. It was precisely because of this that Wen Chuanye sent Wen Wenhai to the Sacred Institute to study. He hoped that Wen Wenhai could bring glory to the family and make the Wen family stronger.
However, Wen Chuanye did not expect that Wen Wenhai would not become a seeded player in the end. Instead, he was sent to the secret territory. At the same time, the Wen family was also taken care of by the secret territory to ensure their safety.
Wen Chuanye was very happy about this matter. He also knew about the secret territory and he was very clear about the strength of the secret territory. He heard that there were Sky Dance Realm experts everywhere in the secret territory. The Wen family could be taken care of by the secret territory. For the Wen family, there were only benefits and no disadvantages.
Originally, Wen Chuanye wanted to rely on the help of the secret territory to develop the Wen family. However, he soon discovered that this was simply impossible. Their family was protected by the secret territory, but they were suppressed by the Deer City. Although the Wen family had not declined in these years, they could only guard their current strength. It was difficult to expand even a little.
Later on, Wen Chuanye saw a few families who had also gone to the secret realm. After their disciples died in the secret realm, their families slowly declined. Wen Chuanye understood that it was impossible to rely on the secret realm to support the development of the Wen family. Therefore, Wen Chuanye began to change his approach. He no longer expanded his strength, but worked hard to befriend the City Lord of Deer City. His approach slowly gained the City Lord of Deer City's trust. Although the Wen family had not developed in these years, they were no longer suppressed. Speaking of which, their strength was still stronger than before.
However, Wen Chuanye was very clear that the reason why the Wen family was where it was today had a lot to do with Wen Wenhai. Although the Wen family was suppressed by Deer City because of Wen Wenhai, Wen Chuanye was also very clear that it was also because of Wen Wenhai that no one dared to really offend the Wen family for so many years. Now, the third generation of the Wen family had developed. The Wen family's peace for so many years was all because of Wen Wenhai.
For a large city-state like Deer City, there were still many large forces and large families in the city-state, and there were even more medium-sized families like the Wen family. Although the Wen family had encountered some suppression over the years, they had not been suppressed excessively in some of the profitable businesses that they were involved in. This suppression only prevented their family's strength from increasing too much, but the money they earned was much more than before.
Wen Chuanye was very clear that if it were not for Wen Wenhai, with the strength and wealth of the Wen family, their family would have been destroyed by those big families long ago. Now, their family was living so well because those big families did not dare to deal with them because they were afraid of the revenge of the secret realm.
It was also because of this that Wen Chuanye felt even more sorry for Wen Wenhai. Fortunately, Wen Wenhai would send letters from the secret realm from time to time, letting them know that Wen Wenhai was still alive. This was enough for him.
Just as Wen Chuanye was holding a book, but his thoughts were drifting, a voice suddenly sounded, "Father, the boss of the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop is here to see us. He wants to discuss a medicinal herb business with us."
Wen Chuanye heard this voice and knew that it was the voice of his eldest son, Wen Wenjiang. Wen Chuanye was very clear about the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop that Wen Wenjiang mentioned. This was a very large medicinal herb shop. They did not treat patients, but only operated a large number of medicinal herbs business. They were the largest wholesaler of medicinal herbs in Deer City.
Logically speaking, such a business was generally controlled by those big families because such a business was very profitable. How could those big families let go of such a fat piece of meat?
However, no one could touch the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop because the medicinal herbs that this medicinal herb shop dealt in were very special. The medicinal herbs that this medicinal herb shop dealt in were all unique to the Enchanted Mountain. These medicinal herbs could not be obtained by others, only the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop could. Even those big families, if they wanted to use the medicinal herbs of the Enchanted Mountain, had to buy from them. Therefore, the business of the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop had always been very good, and no one in Deer City dared to provoke them.
Now, all the big families in the entire Deer City wanted to cooperate with the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop to operate the medicinal herbs in their hands. This was a business that was guaranteed to be profitable.
Some time ago, Wen Wenjiang met the shopkeeper of the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop by chance and helped the shopkeeper a little. The shopkeeper was grateful and wanted to cooperate with the Wen family in the medicinal herb business. For such a good thing, the Wen family naturally would not refuse and immediately agreed. Moreover, in Wen Chuanye's view, it was obviously not enough for his son to talk to the other party, so he finally decided to talk to the other party himself. That was the reason why the shopkeeper of the Spirit Mountain medicinal herb shop came to meet him today.
Wen Chuanye put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Quickly invite Boss Tang in." After saying that, he stood up.
At this time, the door of his study was also opened. A middle-aged man in his thirties, who looked a little weak, was leading a young man in his thirties, who looked heroic and vigorous, into the study.
Although this person was young, Wen Chuanye was not weak at all. He immediately went up and cupped his fist to the man. "Greetings, Boss Tang. I am Wen Chuanlai. Greetings."
Boss Tang hurriedly returned the greeting. "Greetings, Uncle. It's really too much for Uncle to call me that. I am Tang Sheng. Uncle can call me by my name. You don't have to call me Boss Tang. It's too distant. Brother Wen Jiang and I can be considered friends, so naturally I am your junior."
This Tang Sheng was very polite. Wen Chuanye looked at Tang Sheng with some surprise, but he immediately said, "Then this old man will be arrogant. Nephew Tang, please take a seat." After saying that, he led Tang Sheng to the rest area and sat down.
After Tang Sheng thanked Wen Chuanye, he sat down with Wen Chuanye. Naturally, someone brought them tea. Tang Sheng took a sip of the tea and looked around. Then he looked at Wen Chuanye and said, "Uncle, this Nephew came today to discuss the medicinal herb business with Uncle. There's also another matter that I want to discuss with Uncle. However, this matter is very important, so I hope that Uncle can talk to me alone."
When Wen Chuanye heard Tang Sheng, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Tang Sheng with a puzzled expression. He saw that Tang Sheng had a dignified expression, he didn't seem to be joking. Wen Chuanye couldn't help but frown. Then he turned to Wen Jiang and said, "Even Wen Jiang can't stay here?"
Tang Sheng shook his head and said, "Uncle, this matter is too important. I can only let Uncle know right now. As for whether Uncle will tell Brother Wen Jiang or not, I don't care."
Wen Chuanye looked at Tang Sheng. Tang Sheng was still looking at him with a determined expression. Wen Chuanye nodded, then he turned to Wen Wenjiang and said, "Wenjiang, guard the door. Without my order, no one can come in, including you."
Wen Wenjiang was a very gentle person. Therefore, he didn't get angry at Tang Sheng's rude request. Although he didn't know Tang Sheng for a long time, he could see that Tang Sheng was a very sensible person. Since Tang Sheng said this, then it must be something important. Therefore, Wen Wenjiang immediately nodded before he turned around and walked out. After sending the servants away, Wen Wenjiang stood guard in front of the door.
Seeing Wen Wenjiang go out, Tang Sheng looked at Wen Chuanye and said, "Uncle, you should be able to see that I was able to get the herbs from Lost Soul City. This time, I came here on the orders of Lost Soul City's City Lord Zhao Hai. Lord Zhao Hai wanted me to deliver a letter to Uncle. Moreover, he also ordered me to deliver the letter to Uncle when you are alone." Wen Chuanye nodded and said, "Uncle, you should be able to see that I was able to get the herbs from Lost Soul City. After he said that, Tang Sheng took out a book from his chest. Then he tore open the cover of the book. Inside the cover was a hidden compartment with a letter inside. Tang Sheng took the letter out and handed it over to Wen Chuanye.
Wen Chuanye looked at Tang Sheng's actions. From Tang Sheng's actions, he could see the importance of this letter. This made him even more curious. Wen Chuanye didn't have any interaction with the City of Lost Soul City. So why did Zhao Hai suddenly send him a secret letter? What was going on?
Although Wen Chuanye didn't understand what was going on, he still reached out and took the letter that Tang Sheng handed over. There was an envelope outside the book collection, but there were no words on the envelope. Wen Chuanye looked at the envelope and didn't see anything, so he directly opened the envelope and took out the few pieces of paper inside.
When Wen Chuanye opened the papers and saw the first line, he couldn't help but tremble. Then, he suddenly stood up and stuffed the letter into his arms. Then, he fixed his eyes on Tang Sheng.
Tang Sheng looked at Wen Chuanye and said, "Uncle, there's no need to be like this. I was the one who brought this letter. I don't know the contents of the letter, and even if I did, I wouldn't reveal it. I don't want to be chased by the City Lord. In this world, there's no one who can escape the City Lord's pursuit. Uncle, this nephew will take his leave first."
Then Tang Sheng stood up and gave Wen Chuanye a salute. Then he turned around and left. Wen Chuanye didn't stop him. He was still immersed in the shock brought to him by the first few words of the letter. At this time, he had almost lost his ability to think. He could only look at Tang Sheng leaving. Even Wen Wenjiang's voice sounded distant and unreal.
