Chapter 291: Chapter 213: Wu Junwan Hurries to Leave North Countryi

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wu Junwan’s mouth curved slightly upward, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.

Lu Chen had indeed hit the mark.

She had indeed planned to use the words Lu Chen mentioned as an excuse.

Wu Junwan then said, “Master Chen is right, our Qianhai Commercial Association indeed sees great commercial potential in the North Country, and we also see great commercial value in the products manufactured by the North Prince Mansion.”

“Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important is that the products made by the North Prince Mansion are also used by our Princess Junwan, and she likes them very much.”

“It is for this reason that we wish to collaborate with the Rain-listening Pavilion to sell the goods of the North Country in the Great Wu Dynasty.”

Lu Chen said, “In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”

“As for the details of the collaboration, I’ll leave it to Miss Qian and our Vice Tower Master of the Rain-listening Pavilion to discuss, as I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now.”

“Miss Qian, if you need anything during your time in the North Country, feel free to contact us at the Rain-listening Pavilion, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.”

Wu Junwan smiled slightly and said graciously, “Thank you, Master Chen.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “You’re welcome, after all, we will be partners from now on, and the Rain-listening Pavilion naturally wants to take good care of Miss Qian during her stay in Great Xia.”

Having said this, Lu Chen stood up, ready to leave, “Then Miss Qian, that will be all for today.”

Wu Junwan also stood up promptly, “Master Chen, please take care.”

Lu Chen nodded slightly, without saying anything further, and turned to leave the private room directly.

Even though Lu Chen had left, Wang Qingci did not; Lu Chen’s appearance was merely a formality. As the true owner behind the Rain-listening Pavilion, he naturally did not need to engage in the specifics of business collaboration, especially since the person from Qianhai Commercial Association was not their president.

In name, Wu Junwan was merely the daughter of the President of Qianhai Merchant Association, not the president herself, so her status was a bit lower than that of the Tower Master of the Rain-listening Pavilion. Thus, handing over the task of receiving Wu Junwan to Wang Qingci, the nominal Vice Tower Master, was sufficient, and all Lu Chen needed to do was to make a stance.

After Lu Chen left, Wu Junwan and her party finalized the details of the collaboration with Wang Qingci, establishing a new merchant association called “Tinghai,” which would be mainly responsible for conducting business within the Great Wu Dynasty territory, diverting business from other dynasties to the association.

Once the collaboration was officially established, both parties decided on the two individuals who would manage the Tinghai Merchant Association. In terms of managing the association, Wu Junwan made some concessions, allowing the person appointed by the Rain-listening Pavilion to become the official president, while their representative from the Qianhai Commercial Association would assume the role of vice president.

After everything had been negotiated, the sky had completely darkened.

Nighttime.

Wu Junwan sat in the private room of an inn, adjusting her Inner Strength. After a little while, her beautiful eyes opened, looking at the two elderly people before her.

Hu Shu said at this moment, “Princess Junwan, we should hurry and leave the North Country; it is more dangerous than we anticipated.”

As someone sent by the Empress of Da Yue to protect Wu Junwan, she was very concerned about Wu Junwan’s safety. If anything happened to Wu Junwan, she would not know how to explain it to the Empress of Da Yue.

Hearing Hu Shu’s words, Wu Junwan said indifferently, “We will leave the North Country early tomorrow morning.”

Wu Junwan had no intention to prolong her stay in the North Country as she now felt the waters there were a bit too deep. Not only had the Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace come to the North Country and stayed for several months without leaving, but now such a young Grandmaster had also appeared in the North Country. In addition, there were the heavy cavalry of the North Country, which made Wu Junwan sense that the North Country was a land fraught with strife.

As the Princess of the Great Wu Dynasty, it was better for her to leave this place of conflict as soon as possible.

Initially, she had planned to stay in the North Country for a while to see what the North Prince was up to and to investigate the situation with the North Country heavy cavalry. Now it seemed that leaving the North Country as soon as possible was the best decision.

Relieved by Wu Junwan’s words, both Hu Shu and Pei Hong, the Grandmasters, heaved a sigh of relief. It was good as long as Wu Junwan was willing to leave; the concern was that she might be too confident and unwilling to leave the North Country so soon.

At this moment, Wu Junwan asked, “Grandma Hu, Senior Pei, if you were to confront that Chen Lu, would you be confident in defeating him?”

Upon hearing this question, Hu Shu and Pei Hong were taken aback for a moment. Pei Hong was the first to answer, “Your Highness, without having fought, it is very difficult for us to judge his exact strength, but someone so young achieving the status of a Grandmaster must be extremely profound in the martial arts.”

“Furthermore, in his presence, I felt a very strong sense of danger, and if it came to a fight, I very well might not be his match.”

Pei Hong had once clashed with Situ Ce, and he had never felt the kind of danger he did in front of Situ Ce as he did just now.

Even though he sensed that Chen Lu’s realm was not much different from his own, deep inside he always felt as though he was being targeted, as if a fierce beast had set its sights on him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Pei Hong surmised that Chen Lu’s strength was likely greater than his own, and if it really came to a fight, he would probably not be a match for the young man, possibly not even able to withstand for half an hour.

Surprised by Pei Hong’s words, Wu Junwan had not expected even Pei Hong to lack confidence in defeating Chen Lu.

Her gaze then fell on Hu Shu, who began to speak, “I share the same view as Mr. Pei; if I were to confront that Chen Lu on my own, it is highly likely that I would not be his match.”
