Chapter 452: Farewell

“What? You are leaving Mount Jade Dragon to return to Pingxi Prefecture?” Selena’s expression changed slightly after hearing what Yan Liqiang said.

“The Dark Wood Tribe and Dark Razor Tribe are battling on the Gulang Plains. This hatred will not be easily resolved. Large tribes like them have equivalent capabilities and they understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The outcome of the battle will not be known within a day or two and may be protracted. Before both tribes can determine the winner and restore peace on the Gulang Plains, the Great Moon Tribe will be safe. You can rest assured that the Shatu people will not come to Mount Jade Dragon to find trouble with your tribe. Even if there is an outcome for the battle, the winning tribe will still need a period of time to recover. This period of time will be considered as the safest time for the Great Moon Tribe ever since the Shatu tribe invaded Mount Jade Dragon. You will be fine without me. Furthermore, I have a lot of matters to attend to in Gan Province...” Yan Liqiang had already returned to the Great Moon Tribe and his room in the Prestigious Courtyard in a fresh set of clothing. He narrowed his eyes as he spoke while looking at the woman in front of him...

Seranchi was as beautiful as ever. The purple robe she wore brought out her elegance and sexiness, as the tight-fitting clothing outlined her exquisite figure. Her delicate facial features and her elegant updo hairstyle further brought out her charm as a mature woman. Yan Liqiang couldn’t help but steal a few more glances. In any case, the beauty of a woman was always delightful to a man.

After Yan Liqiang resolved the Great Moon Tribe’s imminent crisis three months ago, this woman’s attitude toward Yan Liqiang had changed slightly. She was no longer afraid of him, but she instead had become slightly dependent on him. At least now, she could gradually discuss matters with Yan Liqiang on her own.

“Until now, I still cannot understand how you came to know so much about the Dark Wood Tribe. It’s as if you can predict the future and everything is within your expectations. Rumor has it that you are receiving guidance from some deity in your dreams. Is that true?” Seranchi gazed firmly at Yan Liqiang as she twirled her hair coyly.

“All you need to know is that I am worthy of your trust and reliance!” Yan Liqiang smiled and looked at Seranchi, “An opportunity has presented itself to the Great Moon Tribe now. Are you willing to seize it?”

“What opportunity?”

“I heard from Selena that there is a small passageway within Mount Jade Dragon that bypasses the White Stone Pass and leads into Pingxi Prefecture. Is that true?”

“Yes, there is indeed such a passageway!” Seranchi nodded in certainty. “The Great Moon Tribe, Wusu Tribe, and Piyue Tribe usually use this little passage inside the mountain to enter Yingwei County in Pingxi Prefecture. They secretly exchange produce in the mountain with the garrison troops for some salt and ironware. Otherwise, it would simply be impossible for us to survive. One of the reasons why the Shatu people are eyeing us covetously is because they want to gain control over the passageway that can bypass the White Stone Pass. Although this passageway is too narrow to allow an army to pass, they can still send small troops of a hundred men or so to the back of the White Stone Pass during critical situations!”

“This is the opportunity that I am talking about!” Yan Liqiang lightly tapped on the table in front of him. “At a time when the Shatu people are in chaos, the trade between Shatu Seven Tribes and Gan Province will surely be affected. The leather, medicinal ingredients, jewels, rare beast core crystals, and valuable wood that the Shatu people usually deliver to Gan Province will be greatly reduced. But the demand from Gan Province for these things will remain unchanged, and the price for these items will definitely increase. If the Great Moon, Wusu, and Piyue Tribes can open the access of this passageway to deliver goods from the mountains using horses, I can set up a border trading post at Yingwei County to openly do business with you. You can use the resources in your hands to exchange for more goods and earn more money...”

Seranchi’s eyes immediately lit up. Ever since the three tribes were banned by the Shatu people, they had been surreptitiously conducting small business in Yingwei County in exchange for some salt and other stuff. The garrison troops in the barracks knew of their background and demanded a huge reduction in the prices. Whatever they sent to Yingwei County was only one-third of the price or even lower for the similar products offered by the Shatu people. If things went as Yan Liqiang said, that would definitely be a huge advantage to the three tribes that lived on Mount Jade Dragon...

“I understand that the Great Han Empire has set rules for a border trading post. You need to at least get approval from the Provincial Governor...” Seranchi still had some slight doubts.

“You don’t need to worry about the Provincial Governor. It’ll be alright when I say it’s alright!” Yan Liqiang said with confidence.

“We can give it a try. As long as you can set up the border trading post, there might not even be a need for me to contact the Wusu and Piyue Tribes. They will be even more positive than the Great Moon Tribe in regards to this. After all, the population of the Great Moon Tribe is less than ten thousand people while the population of the two tribes is more than thirty thousand. The ban from the Shatu people forces them to rely on the border trade even more!”

“I will be returning to Pingxi Prefecture tomorrow. If everything goes according to plan, the border trading post should be ready in three months!”

“If something happens here, how do we keep in touch with you after you leave?” Seranchi frowned as she asked.

Yan Liqiang smiled and stood up. He walked to the side of the house, opened one of the windows, and lightly clapped his hands. The sound of flapping wings was heard and a silvery-gray bird flew in from the outside and landed on Yan Liqiang’s arm. It turned its head while scanning the room with its sharp eyes.

“Ah, a silver falcon...” Seranchi was shocked. Of course she recognized this bird species. On Mount Jade Dragon, there was a type of exotic animal that was very difficult to capture. It was an extremely clever bird that could fly with lightning speed in the sky. Even if it were caught, it was still very challenging to tame it. A tamed silver falcon would be worth thousands of gold. It was unbelievable as to how Yan Liqiang had managed to tame such an exotic animal. Yan Liqiang never revealed this and Serainchi did not know that there had been a silver falcon following him around all the time.

Seranchi looked at Yan Liqiang and the silver falcon perched on his arm. His enigma once again sent a chill down her spine.

“If anything happens in the future, you can contact me through this silver falcon. If you want to deliver a letter to me, all you need to do is to come into this house and open this window. The silver falcon will come...” Yan Liqiang spoke and lifted his arm. The silver falcon flapped its wings and flew away.

Seranchi suddenly sighed, “I do not know how the Great Moon Tribe could ever repay your kindness!”

“Hahaha, you can rest assured that I will not let the Great Moon Tribe run to the battlefield as a scapegoat. Besides, the size of the Great Moon Tribe is too small to be made a scapegoat!” Yan Liqiang laughed heartily. He retraced his footsteps, but did not return to his seat. Instead, he came in front of Seranchi, gently lifted her chin, and looked into her eyes.

He wasn’t sure if something crossed Seranchi’s mind, but her face gradually turned crimson, causing her to appear even more seductive.

Yan Liqiang couldn’t hold himself back as he gazed into Seranchi’s eyes while taking in the faint fragrance from her body. He lowered his head and kissed Seranchi’s delicate lips...

“Uhm...!” Seranchi’s eyes widened and she was overwhelmed. In just the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang realized that his tongue was tightly locked with Seranchi’s.

“Elder Long...” Selena’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

They two of them were slightly shocked and they immediately parted. Yan Liqiang returned to his seat and Seranchi quickly adjusted her clothing while blushing. She glanced at Yan Liqiang and wiped away the string of saliva left by him on the corner of her lips. Compared to the kiss just now, that stare was even more amorous...

“Ahem, come in Selena...” Yan Liqiang called out from inside the room.

Selena pushed the door open and came in with a package in her hands, “Ah, Mother, you are here too...”

“Yes. I had something to discuss with Elder Long, but we’re done here and I am about to leave!” Seranchi’s face returned to the usual calmness she had. She stood up and noticed the package in Selena’s hands, “What is that you are holding?”

“Some of Elder Long’s clothes don’t fit him anymore. These are the clothes that I...I have prepared for Elder Long!” Selena replied shyly.

“Alright. Elder Long will be leaving the Great Moon Tribe tomorrow. Have a good talk with him...”

Selena’s mind went blank...

Even after Seranchi left, Selena was still staring at Yan Liqiang blankly. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes before the big teardrops rolled down her face. Yan Liqiang walked over and gently wiped Selena’s tears away, “Silly girl...”

“Elder Long, are you...you leaving?”

“Have you ever heard of a saying?”

“What saying?”

“If the love between two people is everlasting, the parting today is meant for a better reunion in the future!”

Selena hugged Yan Liqiang tightly and buried her head in his chest. She remained silent but it only took a moment for her tears to soak through Yan Liqiang’s clothes.

...

Before daybreak the next day, Selena and Seranchi sent Yan Liqiang off with mixed feelings. Yan Liqiang waved to both of them and left the Great Moon Tribe in a flash...

Before going home, there was still one important thing that Yan Liqiang had to do. He did not have the opportunity to do it before, and this time, the opportunity was there and he was ready to give it a try. He wanted to see what sort of surprises the toy capsule machine had in store for him...
