In the quaint room, Shi Yan seemed to be in a trance. He stood by the window for a while, then slowly closed the window.
Back at his seat, Shi Yan looked a little listless. He didn't continue to grope the girl in his arms, but just drank.
"Young Master Yan, was that the Beiming family's team?" Karl, a warrior from the Shi family, asked casually.
"Yes." Shi Yan answered, and continued to drink silently.
Han Zhong stood by the window, frowning at Shi Yan with a strange look in his eyes. He hesitated for a while, then said, "Brother Yan, do you … know the woman on the horse?"
Shi Yan nodded, and drank up the wine in his glass, "Yes, I know her. I came out of the Dark Forest with her. You know, there were demon beasts at that time, and one person's power was limited, so I had to find a companion. "
Han Zhong was an experienced man. Seeing that he wasn't interested, he rolled his eyes and guessed that there must be something going on between him and Dijaran.
Sitting down, Han Zhong waved his hand, and said to the girls beside him, "You can leave first, we have something to discuss."
The enchanting girls were very self-aware. They stood up with smiles and quickly left the room.
When there were only warriors from the Shi family left in the room, Han Zhong said, "Brother Yan, I don't know who that woman is, but it seems that Beiming Ce is interested in her. If she is willing to be with Beiming Ce, then don't think too much about it."
"Yeah, there are so many women in the world, there's no need to make enemies with Beiming Ce because of one woman. The Beiming family is the most overbearing family in the Merchant Union, they are too powerful. And Beiming Ce is Beiming Shang's favorite, it's not wise to provoke him. "Karl also sincerely advised.
Karl was the leader of this group of warriors, and he was at the Second Sky of the Nascent Realm. Because Shi Yan had won his favor, he kindly advised him.
"Old Han, who are those two old men?" Shi Yan didn't answer, but looked at Han Zhong.
"Yin Kui and Jiu Shan are martial brothers. They are at the First Sky of Nirvana Realm. No one knows where they come from. In the past, they had been serving the Beiming family's master, Beiming Shang. After Beiming Ce was born, because he had two Martial Spirits and his cultivation was extremely fast, Beiming Shang was afraid that something would happen to Beiming Ce during his growth, so he arranged Yin Kui and Jiu Shan to protect him. "
The First Sky of Nirvana Realm! Shi Yan felt a chill in his heart.
The head of the Shi family, Shi Jian, was only at the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm.
In such a large Merchant Union, there were millions of people. There were countless warriors who practiced martial arts, but those who could truly enter the Nirvana Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. They could be counted with two hands.
Two Nirvana Realm warriors did nothing but protect Beiming Ce. Beiming Ce was really favored.
"In our Merchant Union, the Beiming family's strength is stronger than the other two families combined. The Beiming family has many powerful warriors, and the disciples of the family are also constantly emerging. And Beiming Shang himself is at the Sky Realm. If you offend the Beiming family, you won't have a good ending. "
Seeing that Shi Yan didn't speak, Han Zhong was afraid that Shi Yan would act rashly, so he pointed out the strength of the Beiming family.
"Hmm, I understand." Shi Yan was silent for a while, then nodded. His expression returned to normal, and he smiled, "Old Han, don't worry. I know what to do, and when to be patient."
"Hmm, it's good that you understand." Han Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Do you want the girls outside to come in again?"
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood. Let's drink."
"Okay, let's drink. Come on!"
…
The Merchant Union was very special. It was a strange country jointly managed by the families, warriors, mercenaries, merchants, and all kinds of civil organizations.
There was no official army, no official positions, and no official structure.
There were many families in the Merchant Union, hundreds of mercenary groups of all sizes, thousands of merchants, wandering warriors, and civilians who were tired of war …
The Merchant Union never participated in the war between the Fire Empire and the God-blessed Empire, so it was relatively more peaceful than those two countries.
However, once a foreign country tried to make trouble in the Merchant Union, all the forces in the Merchant Union would unite to fight against it.
In the history of the Merchant Union, the Fire Empire and the God-blessed Empire had coveted the wealth of the Merchant Union, and had sent troops to invade. But without exception, they were directly defeated by the allied forces of the families and hundreds of mercenary groups of the Merchant Union!
The Merchant Union was a strange country. Usually, it was very scattered, and didn't even have a ruler. But once they met a common enemy, they would immediately unite.
Because there were many powerful families, hundreds of powerful mercenary groups, and businessmen with a lot of money here, once these people united, they could form a terrifying force. Even the God-blessed Empire and the Raging Fire Empire had to concede defeat.
If the Merchant Union didn't unite to fight against foreign enemies, the combined power of all the forces was enough to defeat either the Fire Empire or the God-blessed Empire!
The Merchant Union's terrain was special. In the south was the Dark Forest, in the north was the Dead Swamp, in the west was the Cloud Mist Mountain, and in the east was the vast Endless Sea.
Whether it was the Dead Swamp, the Cloud Mist Mountain, or the islands of the Endless Sea, they all contained all kinds of minerals, elixirs, metals, and other rich resources. As a country mainly engaged in trade, the Merchant Union was right in the middle, so it naturally benefited from both sides.
While the Dead Swamp, the Cloud Mist Mountain, and the Endless Sea contained rich resources, they were also accompanied by horrible dangers.
For example, miasma, demon beasts, poisonous fog, cruel aliens, and all kinds of rare natural disasters …
Because of this, if one wanted to adventure in those areas, he or she had to be extremely powerful. Therefore, there were all kinds of mercenary groups and warriors in the Merchant Union.
There were nineteen cities in the Merchant Union, but the biggest and most important city was Tianyun City.
Tianyun City was in the center of the Merchant Union, surrounded by eighteen small cities. The area of Tianyun City was almost the total area of the eight nearby cities, and its population was also several times that of those small cities.
Therefore, Tianyun City was the center of the Merchant Union, and all the big families regarded Tianyun City as their main place of activity.
The Shi Family was no exception. Although the Shi Family had properties and courtyards in all the major cities of the Merchant Union, the Shi Family's root was still in Tianyun City.
The Shi Family was in the north of Tianyun City, with an area of nearly one hundred mu and thousands of buildings, including rockery, courtyards, artificial lakes, and creeks. The Shi Family's direct descendants lived in the quiet backyard, where there was an artificial lake in the center, surrounded by pavilions, and behind the pavilions were training fields, gravity rooms, and ascetic halls …
The Shi Family didn't have many direct descendants, but there were over a hundred collateral relatives and Masters. Adding the maids and guards, the Shi Family had almost a thousand people living here every day.
Every morning, no matter if it was the Shi Family's direct descendants, Masters, or warriors, they would all be training hard in the training fields.
On this day, the rooster had just crowed, and the sky was just beginning to brighten, but many warriors had already started to exercise and train themselves in all kinds of training fields.
Shi Jian also walked out of the Rock Hall, came to Yang Hai's pavilion, shouted, and walked to the gate of the Shi Family with Yang Hai.
Along the way, many warriors bowed to him, and Shi Jian nodded indifferently, not slowing down for anyone.
Not long after Shi Jian and Yang Hai arrived at the gate of the Shi Family, Han Feng also appeared behind them. He stood next to Shi Jian without saying a word, squinting at the long corridor outside the stone gate.
"According to the information given by Han Zhong, they should have arrived last night. Since they didn't arrive last night, they must be back today." Shi Jian frowned, and muttered, "In order to see if that kid had really reached the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm, I waited until dawn last night, but he didn't come …"
"Maybe he was delayed by something on the way," Yang Hai secretly cursed Shi Yan for being so rude, but he still helped to explain.
"Lunatic, do you think Han Zhong's information … could be wrong?"
Shi Jian turned around, and looked at Han Feng in confusion, "There are precedents of Martial Spirits awakening in youth, I don't doubt it. But … that kid had never practiced Martial Arts before he was seventeen years old, and he suddenly reached the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm. Isn't it too unbelievable? I thought about it for a few nights, but I still couldn't figure it out. What do you think? "
Han Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, squinted, and said, "Although Han Zhong likes to mess around, he knows his limits when it comes to important matters. I don't think he has the guts to lie about this. Although … I don't know what's going on either, but since he said so, it should be true. "
"Yes, I hope it's true. This kid has disappointed me for seventeen years, I hope he won't disappoint me again this time."
Many warriors of the Shi Family, after training and eating in the morning, heard that the Family Head was waiting for someone at the gate. They all curiously followed him and gathered at the gate, whispering to each other.
They didn't know who it was, but they guessed that it might be someone important from the Beiming Family or the Zuo Family. Otherwise, Shi Jian wouldn't have come out to greet him.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came. The warriors of the Shi Family gradually became impatient, and secretly cursed that person for being so arrogant, making the Family Head of the Shi Family wait for him.
Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, but the person still didn't show up, Shi Jian started to worry, and said to Yang Hai, "It's been so long, could something have happened?"
Yang Hai shook his head with a bitter smile, indicating that he didn't know either, but sighed in his heart.
Although Shi Jian had mentioned Shi Yan from time to time before, he had never shown too much concern for him. He just asked casually.
Even this time, when Shi Yan went missing in the Dark Forest, it was only because Yang Hai reminded him that he remembered.
Now that he heard that Shi Yan had entered the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm, not only did he ask about Shi Yan every day, but he also came early today to wait for him …
Shi Jian's sudden change in attitude made Yang Hai a little uncomfortable.
After a long time, when the sun was high in the sky, and it was almost noon, the huge body of the Earth Dragon slowly appeared in the hallway.
In front of the Earth Dragon, two people were talking and laughing. They were Shi Yan and Han Zhong.
