Chapter 20 Going Down the Mountain to Make Money

The breeze at the top of Hanying Peak blew the sleeves of the three people. Shangguan Jiannan, Elder Zhan Tai and Zhao Jinghua were gathered together to discuss the plan for rebuilding Hanying Peak.

After this great disaster, Hanying Peak was almost reduced to ruins, and the scene on the top of the mountain was quite desolate.

Because of the inheritance from Taoist Xuantian, Zhan Taimingli directly appointed Shangguan Jiannan as the elder of Hanying Peak, and the other peak masters also fully agreed.

Zhan Taimingli looked thoughtful and said calmly, "The reconstruction of Hanying Peak now requires not only strong strength, but also a lot of funds. After discussion, the three of us decided to act separately."

Zhao Jinghua nodded, a bit of worry showing on her face: "Indeed. Funding is the biggest problem at the moment, and spirit stones and the inheritance of our predecessors are also crucial to the future development of Hanying Peak."

Shangguan Jiannan looked solemn. He swept his eyes across the faces of the two people, thinking about how to solve the current dilemma: "I understand. Let's act separately and solve these two problems as soon as possible."

Zhan Taimingli took out an ancient scroll and unfolded it in front of the three people. It densely recorded the history and secrets of Hanying Peak. He pointed to several locations on the scroll and said, "Zhao Jinghua and I will go to these secret places on the continent to find spirit stones and the inheritance of our ancestors. Shangguan Jiannan, you need to go to Huyi City to find a way to raise funds."

Shangguan Jiannan looked at the map on the scroll and nodded, "I see. Tiger Wing City is a prosperous city with frequent commercial activities, so there should be many opportunities. I will make a detailed plan as soon as possible."

"Hehe, betting, gambling, and robbery are all good businesses with huge profits. I learned a lot of good things from those people in the Chamber of Commerce." Shangguan Jiannan fantasized, as if he was holding a treasure bowl in his hand.

Zhao Jinghua looked at Shangguan Jiannan with concern and said gently, "Jiannan, although there are business opportunities in Huyi City, you must also pay attention to safety. The environment there is complicated, so you must act carefully and try to understand the situation as much as possible before taking action."

"There is a relative of mine in the secular world in Huyi City, my brother's daughter. I brought her out when her family was in trouble, but I had no time to take care of her. She is now in Yihong Garden in Huyi City. Her name is Li Shishi. You can go to Huyi City and ask her to help you make money. When you leave, take her back to Hanying Peak."

"Don't worry, Sister Jinghua." Shangguan Jiannan smiled slightly, "I will pay attention. I will try my best to raise funds and bring Li Shishi back."

Elder Zhan Tai put down the scroll, stood up, and said in a firm tone: "Then the three of us will split up and try to complete our respective tasks in the shortest possible time. We have the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Hanying Peak on our shoulders, and we must go all out."

The three of them looked at each other and left.

Shangguan Jiannan left Hanying Peak and set off on a journey to Huyi City. Huyi City is a large city in the north of the Apocalypse Dynasty, crowded with merchants, prosperous and bustling, an ideal place for fund raising and business activities.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but Shangguan Jiannan's mind was not distracted by the beautiful scenery. He thought about how to raise enough funds in a short time and made a detailed plan.

When they arrived at Huyi City, the noisy sounds filled the air early in the morning. Shangguan Jiannan stood in front of the city gate, took a deep breath, and stepped into this prosperous city.

"We're finally here at Tiger Wing City," he said to himself.

When Shangguan Jiannan first stepped into Tiger Wing City, he felt that the customs and habits of the southwest region of the continent were completely different from those in the east. It was like stepping into a fantasy world full of vitality and noise. What unfolded before his eyes was a scene of jewels and gems: sparkling waves, singing and dancing, like a fairyland on earth.

At dawn, the Yihong Garden in Huyi City was unusually quiet. The girls, the shopkeeper, the guests, and the waiter were all as tired as pugs and were sleeping soundly. However, in this quietness, there was suddenly a loud banging on the door like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The waiter on night duty was awakened, climbed out of bed with an unhappy face, and walked towards the door while muttering, "Damn it! You disturbed my sleep so early in the morning!"

However, an angry roar came from outside the door: "What are you hesitating about, kid! I'm going to kick this broken door open! Open it quickly!" The waiter was so scared that he lost all his sleepiness and opened the door in a hurry.

"You are so slow!" the man said as he slapped the waiter. "Are there any girls?" The waiter was so dizzy from the beating that he could only nod and answer, "Yes... yes... but they are all sleeping."

The man became even more furious after hearing this: "Do you want to be beaten again, kid? I'm not here to find your girl!" The waiter was so scared that he didn't know what to do, and muttered to himself: Then what are you here for?

Shangguan Jiannan waved his hand impatiently and slapped the waiter again: "You idiot! Go and get a girl up!" The waiter had no choice but to do as he was told. He secretly complained in his heart: It's really hard to do business this early. If I'm not careful, I might get scolded. Maybe I'll even get soaked!

Shangguan Jiannan paced back and forth in the hall anxiously. Seeing that the waiter had not returned yet, he became even more annoyed. He swung his palm and slapped the waiter in the face again. The waiter screamed in pain and ran into the backyard as if to avoid disaster. Shangguan Jiannan cursed: "Damn it! He won't move unless I beat him!"

Just as Shangguan Jiannan was about to attack again, he walked into the hall and his eyes lit up. A beautiful girl in a yellow shirt was sitting on the armchair. There was a strange light in her eyes, as if she was attracted by Shangguan Jiannan's domineering aura. She looked him over and showed a little confusion on her face.

Shangguan Jiannan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He touched his face and thought: Is there something strange on my face? The girl in yellow realized her loss of composure and hurriedly adjusted her mood. She smiled and said in a tender voice, "Morning, sir."

Shangguan Jiannan was a little stunned. He didn't expect the girl to react like this. He stammered, "Good morning... Good morning... Good morning to you too." The girl in yellow couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his absent-minded look. Then she realized that she had gone too far, and immediately covered her face, lowered her head, and dared not look at him again.

Shangguan Jiannan was so embarrassed that he was like a rookie who had just started out, and he had no idea how to start! Fortunately, the girl in yellow, who seemed like a seasoned socialite, resolved the awkward situation with her enthusiasm and wit. She coughed lightly and said delicately, "Master, you came to show your support so early in the morning!"

Shangguan Jiannan's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and he stammered, "Yes! I'm so sorry to ask the waiter to call you so early in the morning. You won't be angry, right?" He was like a student who handed in a blank paper in front of the teacher, anxiously waiting for the judgment.
