Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou once again sat facing each other. Nangong Yurou blushed while looking at Ye Mo and didn’t dare to look him in the eyes.
“Yurou, let’s begin!” Ye Mo extended his hands, placed them against Nangong Yurou’s hands. Ye Mo began turning his Light of Glorious Day, and the energy entered Nangong Yurou’s body.
Nangong Yurou didn’t waste time either. She accepted the Light of Glorious Day and began turning her Energy Center. She didn’t feel any pain. She was perfectly comfortable.
An hour passed, and Nangong Yurou’s meridians began healing. The speed of recovery was much faster than before. Without a doubt, it was due to Ye Mo’s increased strength. The Light of Glorious Day had become more powerful.
A few hours passed before Ye Mo retracted his Light of Glorious Day. He asked with concern, “Yurou, how are you feeling?”
“I’m feeling much better!” Nangong Yurou smiled.
“Then try to see if you can turn your Energy Center,” Ye Mo said.
Nangong Yurou nodded and closed her eyes. She began turning her Energy Center. The pain that followed made her tighten her lips, but it also came with a very gentle feeling. After a few attempts, Nangong Yurou felt the True Energy within her begin to move.
“Ye Mo, my Energy Center can refine True Energy again,” Nangong Yurou said, voice trembling.
“I just advanced, so my strength has grown,” Ye Mo said. “Originally, I would’ve needed to heal you a few more times, but it seems you don’t need it anymore. This time you can recover completely.” He relaxed. Nangong Yurou’s injuries could finally be healed.
“Ye Mo, thank you,” Nangong Yurou said with her delicate and crisp voice.
Ye Mo stood up and smiled. “I’m heading out first. After a few days’ rest, you’ll be good as new.”
After he finished talking, Ye Mo didn’t stay. He left Nangong Yurou’s chamber. After healing Nangong Yurou, one of Ye Mo’s major concerns had finally been resolved. When he left the chamber, he saw Nangong Qingxue walking toward him.
Nangong Qingxue looked very similar to her sister Nangong Yurou, but where Nangong Yurou was playful and cute, Nangong Qingxue was gentle and elegant.
“Ye Mo, how is my sister?” Nangong Qingxue asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, Yurou’s injures have completely healed,” Ye Mo said. “She won’t have any problems coming out for a walk. After a few more days’ rest, she’ll be good as new.”
“That’s great! I’ll go see her now,” Nangong Qingxue said as she walked towards Nangong Yurou’s chamber.
After having a meal at the Nangong Clan, Ye Mo was prepared to leave. The next day was the Zone of Desolation’s annual Treasure Trade Gathering, so Ye Mo had to go prepare. It would be impossible for him to enter the Treasure Trade Gathering without bringing a few precious treasures.
The Treasure Trade Gathering was the day when everyone took out their most precious treasures and appreciated them. If you like any of the treasures, you could do an exchange, and trade treasure for treasure.
“Lord castellan, we’re ready for tomorrow’s Treasure Trade Gathering.” A middle-aged servant rushed in just as Ye Mo was about to leave, half kneeling on the ground as he made his report. “A large number of Black Crystal Stones have already been delivered. I think we’ll be able to sell them all.”
“With Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s appearance, I should be able to make a good profit,” Nangong Wudi said with a smile. “Everyone’s busy collecting Black Crystal Stones to create a sheath and give it to her.”
“Lord castellan, what about the Treasure Trade Gathering?” The middle-aged man lifted his had and saw Ye Mo sitting next to Nangong Wudi. Suddenly, his pupils shrank as he said, “It’s you?”
“Oh? Old Wu, you’ve met Ye Mo before?” Nangong Wudi asked surprised.
Old Wu, as Nangong Wudi called him, was in charge of affairs at the Treasure Trade Gathering. He was the Uncle Wu Zhao Xin had mentioned.
“I met have met Young Master Ye Mo at the Treasure Trade Gathering,” Uncle Wu said as his voice began to tremble. Just yesterday he had secretly sent people to teach Zhao Xin a lesson, and today he found out that Ye Mo was second young lady’s future husband. He began to panic.
“Oh? Ye Mo, did you go to the Treasure Trade Gathering to buy something?” Nangong Wudi asked. “Just tell me and I’ll send Old Wu to grab it. From now on, you can treat the entire Nangong Clan as your family.”
Nangong Yurou, who was sitting to the side, felt happy when she heard the word ‘family’. She felt an inexplicable feeling of lightness.
“Father-in-law, I wanted to go buy the Black Crystal Stones,” Ye Mo said. “But I heard that they were all bought by people from other clans, so I returned empty-handed.” He urgently needed Black Crystal Stones so that he could build a sheath to hide the Sky Blood Spear’s spirituality. Since there were tyrannous father-in-law around, naturally he should make good use of him and not let this chance slip away.
“That’s easy,” Nangong Wudi said. “Old Wu, take Ye Mo with you to fetch some Black Crystal Stones. Give him as many as he wants.”
“The amount of our goods was set in advance. If Ye Mo takes some, I’m afraid…”
Before Old Wu could finish talking, Nangong Wudi interrupted. “Afraid of what? Would it be more important than my son-in-law? Even if Ye Mo wanted all of them, give it to him. It’s fine if we miss out on a little bit of profit.”
The way he saw it, Ye Mo was more important than any trade. Making that kind of profit was nothing. With the talent Ye Mo displayed, he’d definitely become a strong martial artist. He could even become the strongest in the entire Zone of Desolation. And he was Nangong Wudi’s future son-in-law. The most important thing was that his own daughter liked Ye Mo. That was more important than anything else.
“Lord castellan, those who set the amount of Black Crystal Stones in advance are the number one and two clans from the Zone of Desolation, Old Wu explained. He was going this for the sake of the Castellan Estate. “If you let Ye Mo take some, then we might become a subject of ridicule.”
If the clans found out that they didn’t receive the goods they had reserved beforehand because there was some missing, and that another clan had taken it, they’d be furious.
“Father-in-law, if there’s a dilemma regarding the Black Crystal Stones, then you don’t need to give me any from the clans who ordered them in advance.” Ye Mo didn’t want to make things difficult for Nangong Wudi. “I can wait until you’ve received some more.”
“If taking some Black Crystal Stones will bring ridicule, then give Ye Mo all the Black Crystal Stones. Spread the word that I used them to create treasures.” Nangong Wudi said.
“This…” Old Wu’s face began to change color. He was in a difficult position and felt shocked. He couldn’t believe that Nangong Wudi would favor Ye Mo so much, to the point where he’d rather not trade any Black Crystal Stones but instead give them all to Ye Mo.
What kind of person was Ye Mo? Old Wu began to feel frightened when he thought of how he had offended Ye Mo. He was afraid Ye Mo would try to deal with him. It seems that, with Ye Mo’s position in the Castellan Estate, if he wanted to deal with the old housekeeper, then the old housekeeper would have no way to protect himself.
“What? Did you not hear what I said?” Nangong Wudi said in a cold voice.
“Yes!” Old Wu nodded. He didn’t dare question Nangong Wudi.
“Once I finish eating, you can take Ye Mo to the storehouse to grab the Black Crystal Stones. You may leave.”
“Yes!”
After Old Wu left, Nangong Yurou smiled and said, “Ye Mo, you should really thank my father.”
“Thank you, father-in-law!” Ye Mo cupped his hands. Ye Mo was speechless at the way Nangong Wudi treated him.
