The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Jiang Chuan looked at the five characters, feeling somewhat puzzled. "This handwriting is lively and unrestrained, not like that of a young girl. Could this not be Miss Yu's handwriting? But this was clearly written in her study."

Mu Chen also came over, looked at the handwriting, and said, "Brother Jiang, what are you thinking? This might be Miss Yu's handwriting. She is the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, and she might even have some good calligraphy skills."

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "I feel that this style doesn't match the impression Miss Yu gave me before. However, let's wait until Miss Yu arrives before making any decisions."

Everyone sat down in the study, admiring the furnishings while waiting for the arrival of the young master, Yu Youwei.

After Jiang Chuan and his group arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, Manager Dong warmly welcomed them.

He warmly welcomed Mu Chen and his group, and informed Yu Youwei that he was already aware of the matter. Manager Dong's words were respectful, clearly showing his high regard for Yu Youwei.

"The young mistress already knows. She told me to treat these distinguished guests well," Manager Dong said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "Please follow me."

Mu Chen walked in the middle of the group, a confident smile on his face. He turned to look at Jiang Chuan and Zhao Ling'er and said in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, this Miss Yu is no ordinary businesswoman. She manages the Chamber of Commerce exceptionally well. I've heard that she has managed the Chamber of Commerce so successfully at such a young age. She is truly a remarkable person."

Jiang Chuan nodded, but a vague unease lingered in his heart.

He remembered the fleeting murderous intent in Yu Youwei's eyes on the Qinghe River; that chilling aura remained unforgettable to this day. However, he didn't show this feeling, simply following silently behind the group.

Manager Dong led everyone through the bustling hall of the Chamber of Commerce and into a quiet courtyard.

The environment here is completely different from the hustle and bustle outside. It is shaded by green trees, with small bridges and flowing water, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of books.

"This is our chamber of commerce's study," Manager Dong said, pushing open a vermilion wooden door. "The young master is inside."

As the door opened, a whiff of ink wafted out. The study was exquisitely furnished, with bookshelves filled with all sorts of books, from business secrets to cultivation manuals.

On the desk lay an unfinished piece of calligraphy—"Warm wine awaits your return," the characters lively and unrestrained, the strokes vigorous and powerful.

“This handwriting…” Jiang Chuan’s heart skipped a beat. “This is clearly not a woman’s handwriting.”

Mu Chen also noticed this. He leaned closer to the desk and took a closer look, then smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about? This might be Miss Yu's handwriting. She's the young master of the Chamber of Commerce; she might even have some talent for calligraphy."

Jiang Chuan shook his head, but his doubts only deepened.

He always felt that the style of this calligraphy did not quite match Yu Youwei's image, but this was just a gut feeling, and he couldn't explain why.

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door. Everyone turned to look and saw a woman in a long blue dress slowly walking in.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her temperament was elegant and noble, and every gesture she made carried a unique charm.

"Miss Yu!" Mu Chen quickly stood up and bowed. "I have long admired your name and am finally able to meet you in person today."

Yu You smiled slightly and curtsied, "Young Master Mu, you are too kind. I have long heard of the Mu family's young master's dashing and romantic nature, and seeing him today, I can confirm that the reputation is well-deserved."

Jiang Chuan's gaze was also drawn to Yu Youwei. Her beauty startled him, but her calm and collected tone made him feel that she was not as simple as she seemed.

"This is Jiang Chuan," Mu Chen introduced. "He's quite well-known in the cultivation world."

Yu Youwei nodded slightly: "I've also heard of Young Master Jiang's name. I heard you recently acquired an ancient sword manual?"

Jiang Chuan was startled: "Miss Yu's information network is quite impressive."

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence," Yu Youwei said with a light laugh.

After Yu Youwei asked everyone to sit down, she began to chat with Mu Chen about the Chamber of Commerce.

Her eloquence and insightful views on the management of the Chamber of Commerce impressed Mu Chen, who looked at her with new respect.

“Young Master Mu, your views on the Chamber of Commerce are quite insightful,” Yu Youwei said. “What are your plans for the future development of the Chamber of Commerce?”

Mu Chen smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't know much about the Chamber of Commerce. I just think that as a trading platform, the most important things for the Chamber of Commerce are fairness and integrity."

Yu Youwei nodded: "You're right. The essence of a chamber of commerce is to provide a fair platform for both buyers and sellers. Only by doing this can a chamber of commerce develop in the long term."

Jiang Chuan listened to their conversation from the side, but his mind wandered.

He had been pondering Yu Youwei's identity and background. Her demeanor and speech seemed to conceal some kind of secret, which made Jiang Chuan uneasy.

After chatting for a while, Yu Youwei suggested going to the Chamber of Commerce's teahouse for tea. She personally brewed a pot of fine Longjing tea for everyone; the aroma was wonderful and refreshing.

"Miss Yu's tea ceremony skills are truly remarkable," Zhao Ling'er exclaimed.

Yu Youwei smiled slightly: "This is just a trivial skill."

Mu Chen seized the opportunity to say, "Miss Yu, I have a gift for you."

He took out an ancient zither from his bosom: "This is an ancient zither called 'Jiaowei,' which is an ancient relic."

I heard you like playing the piano, so I brought this as a gift for you.

Yu Youwei took the guqin, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Young Master Mu's kindness is truly touching."

She gently plucked the strings, and the melodious music instantly filled the entire teahouse. Jiang Chuan listened, mesmerized, as if he were amidst mountains and rivers.

After the teahouse visit, Yu Youwei suggested taking everyone to the Chamber of Commerce's Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion displays all sorts of strange and unusual items, ranging from precious elixirs to rare magical treasures.

Jiang Chuan walked back and forth in the Treasure Pavilion, his gaze lingering on each of the precious items.

However, he couldn't calm down. He always felt that Yu Youwei was hiding some secret, and this secret seemed to be related to the Chamber of Commerce.

"What is Young Master Jiang looking for?" Yu Youwei's voice came from behind.

Jiang Chuan snapped out of his daze: "I need some elixirs."

"Oh?" Yu Youwei asked with interest, "What kind of elixir?"

Jiang Chuan handed her a list: "These are some of the elixirs I need."

Yu Youwei took the list and looked at it: "Our chamber of commerce has stock of these medicinal herbs. We can prepare them tomorrow."

After the group left the Chamber of Commerce, Mu Chen noticed that Jiang Chuan remained silent.

"Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Mu Chen asked.

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "It's nothing."

Mu Chen was a little puzzled: "Brother Jiang, is something on your mind?"

Jiang Chuan remained silent.

Mu Qingling teased from the side, "Brother, have you fallen in love with Miss Yu at first sight?"

Mu Chen blushed: "Nonsense!"

Zhao Ling'er chimed in, "If Young Master Mu likes Miss Yu, why not just confess his feelings!"

Mu Chen laughed awkwardly: "Stop fooling around!"

Jiang Chuan was even more confused. He felt that Yu Youwei was hiding some secret, and this secret seemed to be related to the Chamber of Commerce. He decided to observe Yu Youwei's every move for the time being and make a decision when the time was right.

As night deepened, the candlelight flickered in the Chamber of Commerce's study.

Yu Youwei stood before the desk, her gaze falling on the unfinished calligraphy—"Warm wine awaits your return." Her fingers gently traced the paper, her fingertips touching a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Plucking flowers to please my wife." A clear voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Yu Youwei turned around abruptly and saw Jiang Chuan standing at the door, holding a broken orchid in his hand.

His gaze fell on the handwriting on the desk, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Young Master Jiang has quite the refined taste." Yu You smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Jiang Chuan entered the study and sat down at the desk: "I just saw that this calligraphy was not finished, so I added two lines on a whim."

Yu Youwei did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she carefully examined the calligraphy: "'Plucking flowers to please one's wife' is quite interesting, as it complements 'Warming wine to await the return of one's lord.' Young Master Jiang's talent is indeed well-deserved."

Jiang Chuan blushed slightly upon hearing the praise: "Miss Yu, you flatter me."

Yu Youwei's gaze did not leave the calligraphy. She said softly, "This poem would be quite good if it were more complete."

"If you're interested, young lady, you might as well add the last two lines," Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

Yu Youwei shook her head: "My calligraphy skills are far inferior to Young Master Jiang's."

Yu Youwei did not leave the study immediately. She stood by the window, gazing at the dimly lit streets in the distance, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

“Young Master Jiang,” she suddenly spoke, “I will have someone deliver the medicinal herbs you need to your residence tomorrow.”

Jiang Chuan was taken aback for a moment: "Thank you, Miss Yu."

“However…” Yu Youwei turned around, a sly smile on her face, “I have a favor to ask, I wonder if Young Master Jiang would be willing to do me the honor?”

"please say."

"Tonight at Hai hour, at the Zhilan Residence of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion," Yu Youwei said softly, "I'll be waiting for you."

Jiang Chuan was shocked: "This..."

"Don't worry," Yu You interrupted him with a smile, "I just wanted to talk to you about my cultivation experiences."

Jiang Chuan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Zuixianlou is located on the most bustling street in Heyang City, where it is brightly lit and filled with the aroma of wine at night.

Jiang Chuan stood downstairs and looked up, only to see that the lanterns of Zhilanju were particularly eye-catching in the night.

The moment I opened the door, a rich floral fragrance wafted out.

Yu Youwei was sitting by the window, dressed in a plain white dress, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her face appeared even more beautiful and charming in the candlelight.

“Young Master Jiang, you’ve come at the perfect time.” Yu Youwei stood up to greet him. “I just took a shower and I still smell of floral water on me.”

Jiang Chuan's face instantly turned bright red: "This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Yu Youwei sat down opposite him without caring at all: "Why is it inappropriate? I'm not a tiger."

Jiang Chuan lowered his head, inwardly cursing himself for being too nervous. He knew he must look extremely disheveled.

“Young Master Jiang,” Yu Youwei suddenly spoke, “do you know why I asked you to come here?”

Jiangchuan shook his head.

“Because of the line of poetry you added,” Yu Youwei said softly, “‘Plucking flowers to please my wife’—that line makes me find you very interesting.”

Jiang Chuan was startled: "Miss Yu..."

“You don’t need to be nervous,” Yu You interrupted him with a smile. “I just want to ask you a question.”

"what is the problem?"

If I married you, would you marry me?

Jiang Chuan's hand jerked violently, spilling tea from his cup. He looked up at Yu Youwei, who had a faint smile on her face.

"Miss Yu...this is no joke!"

“I’m not joking,” Yu Youwei said seriously. “Do you know why I’m telling you these things?”

Jiang Chuan shook his head.

“Because I’m very interested in you.” Yu Youwei’s gaze deepened. “Do you know what kind of constitution I have?”

Jiangchuan shook his head.

“I am born with a pure Yin divine body,” Yu Youwei said softly. “This kind of physique allows for extremely fast cultivation, but it also has a fatal flaw—it makes one an easy target for evil cultivators.”

Jiang Chuan listened intently: "Why is that girl..."

“I don’t want to marry those cultivators who only know how to pursue power.” Yu Youwei interrupted him. “What I want is… someone who can truly understand me.”

The candlelight inside Zhilan Residence gradually dimmed. Yu Youwei took out a crystal-clear pill from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

"This is the Nine-Turn Golden Pill," she said softly. "It is an extremely precious Foundation Establishment Pill. If you can take this pill, your cultivation will definitely reach a higher level."

Jiang Chuan accepted the pill, his heart filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Yu."

"You're welcome," Yu Youwei said softly. "I just hope you can grow up as soon as possible."

"growing up?"

“Yes.” Yu Youwei’s gaze deepened. “I’ll wait for you to grow up.”

After returning home, Jiang Chuan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Yu Youwei's words echoed repeatedly in his mind: "I'll wait for you to grow up."

He didn't understand what those words meant. He only knew that the young master of the chamber of commerce was not as simple as he appeared.

Meanwhile, in the Chamber of Commerce's study, Yu Youwei was standing by the window gazing at the night sky.

Her gaze held a complex expression.

"I guess... I'm wondering when he'll grow up," she murmured to herself.

The night was as dark as ink. Jiang Chuan sat cross-legged in his room, with the crystal-clear Nine-Turn Golden Pill placed in front of him.

The elixir emitted a faint golden light, as if telling of the immense energy it contained.

"This pill..." Jiang Chuan said softly, his fingers gently stroking the surface of the pill, "How could I possibly betray Miss Yu's kindness?"

He took a deep breath and put the Nine-Turn Golden Pill into his mouth.

A warm energy surged into his body, and his true qi began to circulate wildly. The true qi of the three attributes of metal, wood, and fire surged through his meridians, as if trying to break through the shackles.

"Boom!" Jiang Chuan felt a sharp pain in his body, as if countless small knives were cutting back and forth in his meridians.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, letting his inner energy rage within him. He knew this was an essential step on the path to breakthrough. (End of Chapter)
