Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Wan Pei is rumour-wearing!
The two eyeballs of Xiu Qixuan trembled with an ominous ray of frown upon hearing the sentence thrown by Wan Pei.
"Explain more details to me about this Southern Trading Organization!"
Xiu Qixuan said with her cold-associated voice.
Previously, he had always avoided any talks related to the southern region.
However, it was only known by members of his Fox Division. Wan Pei did not know that discussing Nanbao with him was a very taboo topic.
"As we know that the southern region has a lot of rare goods. One of them is Pearls produced directly from the Nanhai Sea or food supplies such as seafood and salt. However, the Nanbao tribe that became the ruler of the desert was very closed to outsiders."
"They severely limit interaction with outsiders. However, in the past two years they have begun to form small groups to trade in the North, East and West of the Three Empires."
"And, the leader of their trade organization also came from one of the relatives of the descendants of the Aisin Clan who ruled as Chieftain Nanbao."
"There is a rumor circulating that the Nanbao began to carry out their diplomatic mission to make an alliance with one of the three empires."
"Whichever empire they would choose to become allies. But, if that were to happen, it would certainly make the situation between the three empires stiffen again."
"Because if Nanbao is chosen to be an ally. The empire would have more military advantages to start a war."
Wan Pei explained seriously about what he already knew from several sources of information or rumors circulating.
Xiu Qixuan was dumbstruck for a moment.
'Haa.' he sighed then nodded in understanding.
Since hundreds of years ago these three great empires have always wanted the Nanbao region.
Like a hungry tiger looking at a piece of fresh meat. Nanbao in the eyes of the third reign of the empire was fresh red meat so alluring their gluttony and greed.
I don't know what Aisin Tianyi or Sima Junke have in mind if indeed the rumors of diplomacy for the alliance are true.
The small nanbao might not have many more defensive pillars if they openly offered to enter into such a polemic.
"Wan Pei!"
"Yes, Miss Chairman."
"I leave all these matters of cooperation to you as my representative. Meet the leader of the organization and discuss to him that we ask for the appropriate price. If it's a rare item we'll appreciate it according to its rarity and usefulness."
Said Xiu Qixuan firmly handing over the related documents after she finished reading them.
"We will not be involved if in the future it turns out that the transaction of goods at low prices offered by them like this is a type of money laundering, right?" A smile expands with an ambiguous sirat on her beautiful face.
Wan Pei quickly understood his superior's intentions. He immediately nodded and retrieved the document.
"All right, I understand. Then I say goodbye first, Miss Chairman."
Wan Pei said with a lowered head in greeting then turned towards the door of the deck of the ship.
Before actually leaving, Wan Pei said abruptly. "Yes, one more thing ... "
"I will soon prepare a dish that refreshes the body. Because you look so exhausted, please take care of your health in the future!"
Wan Pei spoke attentively with a carefree smile that was quite pleasant to look at.

The next day...
The small port located to the southwest of the Shen Empire's dominions began to be visible on the horizon line.
Xiu Qixuan stood on the front deck to gaze at the green shoots of the land from a distance. The ship docked at the dock two hours later.
Boats tied to the dock, the lights of the residents' houses that are still lit, as well as the stretchy streets are clearly visible from up here.
A reddish tinge left beautiful, the dawn began to show itself on the skyline cloudy blue. The sky gradually brightened the sign of a new day beginning.
The boxes containing several types of trade goods consisting of textiles or food were lowered one by one. Wan Pei was seen discussing with one of the men from the dock lord who transacted with them.
Xiu Qixuan just stood watching in the corner like a person with no interest whatsoever. Because all of his handling had been done at the beginning and then handed over to Wan Pei.
"... Miss, your horses and supplies are done we've prepared."
A voice from one of the ship's deck crew was heard telling Xiu Qixuan.
"All right, you've been working hard. Thank you ..." replied Xiu Qixuan with a faint smile.
"Miss, howdy!!" The crew of the deck of the ship looks sparkling happy because it gets a form of recognition and praise from the superior.
"Be careful, Miss Chairman!!"
Wan Pei voiced warmly waving his hands off the departure of the superior.
"Of course, my wages should increase as well next month" Wan Pei chimed in.
"ttc... This easy-to-wrinkle worm. Yasudah, I go first." said Xiu Qixuan by rolling his lazy eyeballs then immediately jumped on the horse mount.
**ncog**
The sound of a horse neighing loudly as its reins were pulled strong. Then soon after that Xiu Qixuan spurred his beloved brown unravel horse to gallop.
The soil of the rocks was wet by a puddle of water after heavy rain last night in the spring months.
The harvest season is coming soon. Green rice shoots are seen on the hillsides. A forest of dense forest lay on top of it. The leaves are still wet with dew dotting the edges.
Time passed quickly, it had already entered midday. The sun's rays are directly above the head.
Xiu Qixuan sat leaning against a lush tree to rest for a while.
**lex**
He drank a mouthful of water from his provisions greedily.
While glancing at the needle of the compass that pivots shows the direction of the road in the grip of his left hand. He made sure once again that this was the correct path to the foot of Mount Kuang.
The hood of the coat he was wearing was intentionally left open. His black hair fluttered in the warm spring breeze.
**srek**
The rustling sound of the thickets made him immediately put on alert. Xiu Qixuan's body stiffened with her eyes staring intently at the bush.
"Who's there?!"
Shouted Xiu Qixuan giving off an aura of hostility filled with pressure.
**srek**
A hand with protruding muscular veins belonging to an adult man was seen scavenging open the thicket.
Xiu Qixuan immediately stood up with her posture ready to fight. He had even aimed his fist and raised his leg to kick the man in the face.
"Wait, wait don't hit!! Xuan'er, it's me ..." The man exclaimed to stop Xiu Qixuan's rude actions leading to him.
Xiu Qixuan was stunned full of shock at seeing a handsome face that was so familiar as this was the first face he had met when it came to the Ca Li Mainland.
"You?! What are you doing here?!" his jolt growled.
