Li Yunjing reunites with Xing'Er and Yue'Er, learning that the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" is behind recent pirate attacks disrupting trade. The two women reveal they have improved their cultivation and combat skills, and have significantly expanded their "Star Moon Trading Company." They discuss the company's profits from spirit stone and profound iron trades, and their cultivation of rare spiritual plants, despite increased costs due to the conflict. Li Yunjing devises a plan to profit from the scarcity caused by the war and learns they have started an intelligence brokering business.

Yue’Er took out an exquisite storage bag and poured out a pile of crystal-clear jade scrolls: "These are the intelligence gathered recently, including where the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ has attacked and the secret transactions of the ’Holy Sound Sect’..."

She paused and looked at Li Yunjing, "It’s just that the trading company is attracting a lot of attention, and lately, there have been some unknown forces causing trouble, trying to snatch our resources."

"Don’t worry! Now that I’m here, the ’Feiyun Sect’ will prioritize your protection!"

Li Yunjing gently shook his head, "Daring to mess with the ’Star Moon Trading Company’ is equivalent to making an enemy of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’ Next time if anyone looks for trouble, I’ll just use the thunderfire cannon on the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’!"

The last sentence, however, was a joke.

He was deliberately trying to make Xing’Er and Yue’Er happy!

He got up and walked to the window, gazing at the cultivators shuttling through the market, a hint of a cold smile on his lips, "The more chaotic the East Sea becomes, the more opportunities we have."

"Now that Brother Li is here, we feel reassured."

Xing’Er nestled on his shoulder, teasingly said, "By the way, about the wedding you mentioned..."

Yue’Er’s ears turned red, she sneaked a glance at him, and almost dropped the account book in her hands.

Li Yunjing embraced the two women, laughing heartily, "Rest assured, once everything’s settled, the three of us will also have a wedding!"

Upon receiving Li Yunjing’s promise, Xing’Er and Yue’Er became even happier, their radiant smiles blossoming like flowers, beautiful beyond compare.

The morning light poured through the carved window lattices into the boudoir, and Li Yunjing personally tied new gold-threaded ribbons on Xing’Er and Yue’Er. The three of them stepped out together.

Just as they turned around the corridor, they heard familiar hearty laughter.

Fang Yuxuan leaned against a pillar, chatting nearby with the old shopkeeper from the trading company, along with several stewards, and their group including Jin Shouyun and Su Guo.

"Brother Li, you finally decided to show up!"

Fang Yuxuan approached with a smile, his gaze drifting over Li Yunjing and the two women’s intertwined hands, jokingly saying, "After three days, you’ve become the envy of others."

"You rascal!"

Li Yunjing smiled, examining Fang Yuxuan, this carefree rogue, "Your uncle did ask me to check your cultivation, I didn’t expect you to really improve, now you’re at the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Third Heaven, not bad."

"Hehe! Brother Li, it’s all thanks to your guidance!"

Fang Yuxuan grinned cheekily, asking, "How’s my uncle doing?"

"Hmm! I’ve arranged a good position for him, he’s doing well!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then looked at those nearby, many of whom were the ’second generation from Red Sun Valley’ following Fang Yuxuan.

These people had all made significant progress, each breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, making their trip to the East Sea worthwhile.

"This time, I intend to head to ’Holy Sound Island,’ and the affairs of the trading company need to be rearranged."

He turned to Xing’Er and Yue’Er, "Will you two arrange for someone to take over the East Sea business?"

"Alright! We’ll sort out the handover in the next two days!"

Xing’Er and Yue’Er nodded in agreement, clearly, they already had candidates in mind.

After gathering with the group, Li Yunjing had everyone from the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ prepare to leave here and follow him together.

Three days later, inside Li Yunjing’s ’Purple Gold Gourd,’ storage boxes were piled up.

Spirit stones and spiritual materials, totaling three billion in wealth.

This massive fortune was all reclaimed by Li Yunjing.

In the future, the ’Star Moon Trading Company’ in the East Sea would scale down, reduce expenditures, and focus on profitability, no longer expanding.

Li Yunjing stood in the warehouse, with Jin Shouyun and others behind him, while Xing’Er and Yue’Er carefully checked the trading company’s accounts.

After everything was settled, he called everyone and boarded the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ to prepare for departure.

"Wait for me!"

At this moment, someone flew over from a distance, shouting far away.

Standing on the deck, Li Yunjing focused his eyes, and it turned out to be his friend, Wen Bin!

"So it was Brother Wen! Come on up quickly, if you’re a moment later, I’ll be gone!"

Li Yunjing joked, waving a finger, and a long rainbow shot out from the bow towards Wen Bin, forming a rainbow bridge.

Wen Bin stepped onto the flowing light and landed on the rainbow bridge in an instant.

The seven-colored rainbow, sensing Wen Bin’s presence, immediately retracted into the ’Celestial Patrol Ship,’ bringing him aboard the deck.

"Brother Li... you’re so heartless, leaving without calling me!"

Once on board, Wen Bin pretended to catch his breath, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Wen, why are you acting like your pants are on fire?"

Li Yunjing welcomed him with a smile, giving him a firm pat on the shoulder, "I told you long ago, once everything’s arranged, I’ll be leaving ’Feiyun Island’."

As he spoke, Li Yunjing signaled Jin Shouyun to arrange for someone to come and greet Wen Bin.

"By the way, Feiyun Master heard you were heading to ’Holy Sound Island,’ and specifically asked me to bring a big gift."

Wen Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hand, and ten carved camphorwood boxes appeared on the deck.

Golden rune inscriptions on the boxes faintly shimmered.

"Why all the courtesy?"

Li Yunjing feigned a look of deep dissatisfaction, yet still signaled for Xing’Er and Yue’Er to put the items away.

The two entered the ship’s reception room side by side, and Xing’Er timely served two cups of cloud mist tea.

"By the way! Brother Li, it seems like you’re planning to empty out the ’Star Moon Trading Company’?"

Wen Bin just witnessed the departure of dozens of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ members, and couldn’t help but probe further.

"The situation in the East Sea is unstable, so it’s best to consolidate assets first."

Li Yunjing took a sip, and the tea turned into a warm stream down his throat, "But you, why not stay well on ’Feiyun Island,’ and come here to join the chaos?"

What’s done is done, and naturally can’t be concealed, so Li Yunjing spoke out frankly.

This candid demeanor made Wen Bin feel relieved!

He was just afraid Li Yunjing would run off!
