Strictly speaking, Zhou Qingchuan knew Ye Beiming a few years earlier than he knew Yun Sheng. At that time, Yun Sheng was just an abandoned girl who had just arrived at the Jade Capital.
Zhou Qingchuan was the young master of the continent's number one Chamber of Commerce, Everlasting Chamber of Commerce. He had followed his grandfather, Chairman Zhou, to learn all kinds of Chamber of Commerce's affairs.
At that time, Ye Beiming was just a low-key dethroned Crown Prince. However, Ye Beiming had already begun to secretly cultivate his own power.
After Empress Li's death, she left some properties and old subordinates to Ye Beiming.
After Ye Beiming returned to the Jade Capital, he reorganized his subordinates and bought the Wanlong Gambling House.
Within a few years, the Wanlong Gambling House had rapidly amassed wealth in the Jade Capital and became a local snake.
At that time, Ye Beiming, who was hiding behind the Wanlong Gambling House, had already made some transactions with Everlasting Chamber of Commerce through Long Huo. These transactions involved weapons, herbs, and soul stones.
The magical beasts from the Wanlong Gambling House's stone gambling convention were also purchased through Everlasting Chamber of Commerce.
After a few years of cooperation, the Purple Gold Mine incident occurred at the borders of Zhou State, Later Qin, and Tang Yuan. Everlasting Chamber of Commerce received news that a batch of semi-finished refined capital ore from Tang Yuan's Second Prince had disappeared without a trace.
This news was tightly sealed at that time. However, as the overlord of commerce, Everlasting Chamber of Commerce still managed to obtain some gossip.
At that time, the rumor was that Later Qin's Dugu Xiu had swallowed that batch of Purple Gold Mine. Some people even said that Grand Emperor had dug a secret passage and stolen the capital ore. There were also rumors that the old and cunning Emperor of Zhou State had reaped the benefits.
However, just as the capital ore incident was gradually forgotten by people, one night, Chairman Zhou suddenly called Zhou Qingchuan over to discuss a transaction with a mysterious guest.
That was the first time Zhou Qingchuan saw Ye Beiming.
Accompanied by Long Huo, that young man who was so handsome that he didn't seem like a mortal had a candlelight talk with Chairman Zhou for the entire night.
That night, Ye Beiming revealed a side of himself that the world did not know.
Whether it was the situation of the continent or the advantages and disadvantages of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce, he was able to analyze everything. In the end, he used a batch of refined Purple Gold Ore to convince President Zhou to purchase half of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce's business.
After Ye Beiming left, Zhou Qingchuan questioned why he sold the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce's businesses to others.
However, Chairman Zhou sighed with emotion. "Each new generation excels the previous one. Zhou State's Lord Beiming is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the continent. It's really scary to be enemies with such a person. It's better to form an alliance with him as soon as possible so that the descendants of the Zhou family can enjoy wealth forever. "
After President Zhou passed away, the partnership between the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce and Ye Beiming became even more secretive. In the entire continent, only Ye Beiming and Zhou Qingchuan knew about it.
The two of them also appreciated each other after many collaborations in the future and became close friends.
After that, Zhou Qingchuan met Yun Sheng by chance. He was attracted by Yun Sheng's special temperament and could not extricate himself.
Later, when Zhou Qingchuan heard that Yun Sheng and the Zhou State's Lord Beiming were engaged, he realized that he and Ye Beiming had fallen in love with the same person.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were not ordinary people.
Just from this point alone, Yun Sheng and the Lord Beiming were a good match.
After a painful struggle in his heart, Zhou Qingchuan chose to give up.
A gentleman had the beauty to fulfill someone's wish. A person like Ye Beiming would not be easily moved. Once he was moved, he would never leave, regardless of where he went.
Zhou Qingchuan was relieved to hand Yun Sheng over to Ye Beiming.
After thinking this through, Zhou Qingchuan felt relieved.
Not long after the people from Skywing City and the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce arrived, the people from Grand Emperor City also arrived.
This time, the team sent by Grand Emperor City did not have Yuan Wuji or Xuan Meimei. Instead, it was a group of young men and women who looked like cannon fodder. They were led by the Grand Elder of Grand Emperor City.
Yuan Wuji did not come because he was still in seclusion. As for Xuan Meimei, she originally wanted to participate in the mission to find the Divine Artifact. However, after the Starry Sky Magic Array in the temple predicted the exact location of the Divine Artifact, she decided to back out.
Xuan Meimei did not dare to go to the Taiyuan ruins, a dangerous place where one could not return from.
The Grand Elder also recognized Yun Sheng. He nodded at Yun Sheng and was surprised to find that Yun Sheng was already a Sky Magician.
Now that Grand Emperor City had few talents, the Yun family of Zhou State was on the rise. Fortunately, Yuan Shahua was married to Yun Canglang. The Grand Elder sighed.
As for the people from Zhou State, they were also unfamiliar summoners. Yun Sheng did not recognize any of them.
Just as everyone was gathering, a very discordant voice cut in.
"Prince Dugu, Lord Beiming, long time no see." Tang Yuan's Second Prince, Li Shao, walked over with a group of magicians.
Unlike the other major forces who had formed an alliance, Tang Yuan had formed an army alone this time.
Second Prince Li Shao still had a modest and gentle look on his face. However, when his gaze fell on Yun Sheng, Lan, and the others, it was somewhat sharp.
"Lan, your luck is not good this time. You have to lead this group of child soldiers. If it were me and Liu Tongtian, this Divine Artifact mission would have been a cinch." His words were very arrogant.
Earlier, Second Prince Li Shao had wanted to use his identity as a student of the Elite Magician Camp to propose to the Grand Elder that Tang Yuan and the Elite Magician Camp form an alliance.
Who knew that the Grand Elder, that old fart, would turn him down immediately.
What made Li Shao even angrier was that the Grand Elder actually formed an alliance with Later Qin. This was clearly a slap in his face.
Li Shao was narrow-minded. After failing to form an alliance, he returned to Tang Yuan and prepared his own personal team of magicians. His purpose was to defeat the elite magicians of the continent in one fell swoop during the search for the divine artifact.
Blue frowned and glanced at the magicians behind Li Shao.
The magicians behind him attracted Yun Sheng's attention. Among them was Ke Ling, who had been kicked out of the Elite Magician Camp by Yun Sheng.
After Ke Ling left the Elite Magician Camp, there was no news of her. Yun Sheng thought that she would never meet her again. She did not expect that the two of them would meet again during the Divine Artifact mission.
"Li Shao, you have no right to judge my team members. In the eyes of others, you are a prince, but in my eyes, you are worthless. You went behind the back of the elders and took the initiative to rope in the Elite Magician Camp. This matter, after I complete the mission, I will settle the score with you. "Lan was usually cold, but at this juncture, he was very protective of his junior brothers and sisters.
"Lan, in the Elite Magician Camp, I gave in to you because of the Grand Elder. These people are all ostracized by the mainland's elite camp. They already belong to Tang Yuan. In the ruins, we won't be merciful. "Li Shao completely disregarded the camaraderie of his fellow disciples and completely fell out with Lan.
