As it turned out, the little fellow didn't leave at all. He was sitting on the doorstep eating candied haws. "Hehe, big sister said that the master of the house would definitely come back to me and give me some money after seeing this."

Ding Suchen took out a silver ingot, squatted down and asked the little beggar, "Tell me where the person who asked you to pass the note is, and this ingot is yours, and you don't have to beg for food anymore."

"Yeah, sister said that if the head of the family follows you out, she will give you the second note." The little guy took out another note, put it in Ding Suchen's hand, took the ingot and ran away happily.

After Ding Suchen unfolded the note and read the words clearly, he snatched one of his servants' beasts and ran out, with the guards behind him quickly following.

Inside the courtyard of the Ding family’s largest salt workshop.

Yun Suyue pretended to be her younger brother Xi Che and wanted to be an apprentice. She looked at the Ding family's ancient and backward salt-making process and shook her head frequently. She gave some casual pointers and the masters were very grateful.

"Oh, girl, you know how to make salt?"

"Understood."

Ding Suchen came and said, "Miss, you are too modest. Please come in and sit down."

Yun Suyue glanced at the newcomer and smiled, "Patriarch Ding is very impressive and promising at a young age. He is indeed the youngest patriarch."

"Miss, you are too kind. Please."

"Master Ding, please."

The guard that followed Ding Suchen had a strong sense of protection. He took the initiative to separate Yun Suyue and Xi Che, and held the hilt of the knife tightly with his right hand, ready to defend against the enemy at any time.

Yun Suyue saw it, but smiled and didn't care.

Ding Suchen ordered the guard, "Don't be nervous, just go ahead and do your work. If this girl wants to kill me, you and I combined can't stop her alone, not to mention you can't beat the boy next to her."

"Ah, this? The girl has profound skills." The guard stopped in shock, looked at Yun Suyue, and then at Xi Che.

No way, he's only twenty-one years old and already a peak seventh-stage warrior. He's already very powerful. That girl and boy look under twenty, how could they be more powerful than him?

Xi Che did not follow Yun Suyue. He turned around and looked at the guard with his arms folded.

The guard immediately came up with an idea and clasped his hands towards Xi Che, "Little brother, I'm Xian Zao, the master's personal guard. I like to spar with you in martial arts. Would you be so kind as to come with me to the backyard for a sparring match?"

"Wait, what's your name? Xianzao? The jujube you eat? You're a grown man, and you call it that?"

Xi Che was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. He thought the guards were all big and strong men, so why were they so stupid as to call them by that name?

The guard: “…”

"Little brother, you misunderstood. My last name is Xian, and my given name is Zao, which means taking a bath. My father gave it to me. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Ahem, sparring, huh? Sure, but there has to be a prize."

"Sure, as long as you use all your strength to defeat me, I will give you a bag of good salt."

Xi Che: “…”

This means that even if we lose, we must still promote our own salt.

Inside the house, Yun Suyue took off her veil, revealing her stunning face, and calmly drank the fragrant tea poured by Ding Suchen.

At first sight, Ding Suchen's reaction was the same as all men's, he was captivated by Yun Suyue's stunning beauty, but it was only a brief moment. "Miss Yun is so beautiful, she is worthy of being the noble young master of the Guyue clan."

Yun Suyue wasn't surprised at all that Ding Suchen recognized her. She was disappointed when he didn't. "Patriarch Ding is also very handsome."

"Miss Yun, after the entire continent has been frantically searching for you, why did you come to me? Or does Miss Yun really know how to make salt?"

Ding Suchen refilled Yun Suyue's cup slowly and calmly.

This kind of person is someone who can accomplish great things. Yun Suyue didn't beat around the bush. "Master Ding is a pure and clear person. I, Yun Suyue, will speak frankly and not in hushed tones. I would like to ask Master Ding if he has the courage to cooperate with me?"

Ding Suchen smiled and asked, "What kind of cooperation? Making salt or destroying the Duanmu family?"

Yun Suyue put down the cup in her hand and said quietly, "In the future, it's not just the Duanmu family that will be destroyed, but the four major families!

They joined forces to slaughter my mother's closest relatives, the Gu Yue and Mo tribes. I was living well in the Western Wilderness Continent, but it was the Duanmu family who broke through the barrier between the two continents and repeatedly sent large numbers of great martial arts masters and puppet armies to surround and kill me and my husband.

They even didn't let our families go. This time, it was the Duanmu family who kidnapped my husband and forced me to chase after them.

Regardless of the reaction of the Four Great Families, or the reaction of other families, big or small, anyone who stands with the Four Great Families, anyone who helps them deal with me and my husband, must die!"

Ding Suchen was no fool. How could a small family like his own shake up the four great families? "What confidence do you have when you say that, young lady?"

Yun Suyue did not hide anything, the truth was sometimes shocking, "Because my husband is a half-martial god, and I have four great martial masters around me, three of them are ninth level, and four are eighth level.

Because I can assemble a medicine that can collectively improve the power of the group in a short period of time, and it will never be weak. Because I can make gunpowder that can raze the entire Duanmu family's beast garden to the ground.

I can create pure white salt that is beyond the reach of the Yan family, and I also have medical skills that the Ji family will never be able to achieve in their entire lives. Is this enough?"

Ding Suchen had already been moved by what he heard. He still remembered how the Yan family bullied his Ding family and how they killed his sister. His father was also depressed and sick because of his sister's death.

"Miss Yun, do you really know what you said? This concerns the safety of our family. I'm sorry I can't answer Miss Yun. I need to go back and discuss this with my seriously ill father."

Yun Suyue protected her stomach and stood up, "If Patriarch Ding doesn't mind, I'll go back with you to see your father.

If I can cure it, it will be my sincere gesture of cooperation to the Ding family."

"I couldn't ask for more! If Miss Yun can really cure my father's illness, then there's no need for me to persuade him at home. Miss Yun, please wait a moment. I'll ask the servants to bring the carriage. My father will agree on his own."

If I'm not mistaken, Miss Yun should be six months pregnant, and my wife's belly is also about this big."

"Haha, Master Ding has good eyesight." Yun Suyue smiled, happy that she had found the right person. This young Master Ding was both smart and sensible.

Soon, Xianzao, who was beaten black and blue, came pulling a carriage.

Ding Suchen almost didn't recognize him, "What's wrong with you?"

He was quite cheerful. "It's just a minor injury. It's from a sparring match with my little brother. Please get in the car, girl."

Yun Suyue took out a Body Tempering Pill and handed it to Xian Zao, "This is a Body Tempering Pill. Take it and your face will heal immediately. It can also improve your aptitude."

"Really? Are you really willing to give me such a precious pill?" Xian Zao looked straight at the pill in Yun Suyue's hand, he was so excited that his hands were ready to move.

But he didn't dare to answer until Ding Suchen gave the order.

"Just take what the girl gave you. Isn't it the Body Tempering Pill? The girl can also make pills?" After Ding Suchen reacted, he looked at Yun Suyue and she looked more and more like a monster.
