"I see, Master Xu, we really owe you a lot."

A moment later, in a grand hall, Xu Yun addressed a group of high-ranking members of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch and recounted in detail everything that had happened when he encountered Wen Siyue.

Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking members felt a chill run down their spines. If the eldest daughter of the Wen family were attacked by an unknown cultivator, or even killed, it would be no small matter.

This could very likely cause turmoil within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, leading to serious consequences.

Wen Xuanqi, who was also a member of the Wen family, felt a sense of relief amidst his lingering fear, as he knew best how much his family valued Wen Siyue.

The other party is not only a Foundation Establishment seed, but also the daughter of the clan leader, with an extremely high status and is loved and cared for by many elders.

Among them, the most prominent is the patriarch of the Ruohe Wen family, the current president of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage and has the potential to break through to the Golden Core stage.

If Wen Siyue were to perish, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You flatter me, gentlemen. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun cupped his hands in greeting to those around him, displaying a humble expression. After all, as a member of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, he couldn't possibly allow the Wen family's eldest daughter to get into trouble.

Of course, the more important reason is that Wen Siyue appeared in Yunming Forest, and he happened to be inside. If he didn't help her, he might get into trouble if others found out.

"Seniors, the reason Siyue was able to save her life is entirely due to Young Master Xu's intervention."

Just then, Wen Siyue, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and bowed to the group of high-ranking officials. "I believe that Young Master Xu's abilities are quite good even within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. I hope you will give him the reward he deserves."

Upon hearing this, the group of high-ranking officials became solemn and serious, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

To receive such high praise from Miss Wen, it seems that Xu Yun truly has something to be commended for.

"Don't worry, Siyue, I will report this matter to the Muyun Chamber of Commerce headquarters and the family. They will definitely give Xu Gongfeng the reward he deserves and will not treat him unfairly."

Wen Xuanqi laughed heartily. The Muyun Chamber of Commerce has never been stingy with rewards for those who have made contributions, especially when it comes to something as important as the eldest daughter of the Wen family.

I imagine the family will offer a very generous reward.

"In that case, Siyue can rest assured."

After receiving a firm and resolute response, Wen Siyue nodded slightly in satisfaction, while secretly winking at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun responded with a grateful smile, knowing that with Wen Siyue's reminder, the reward he would receive would be very generous.

Otherwise, some people might not take it seriously and just do a quick, perfunctory job.

"Thank you, sirs. In that case, I shall take my leave now."

Xu Yun bowed to the surrounding high-ranking officials again, and immediately prepared to leave, since he was still in a weakened state on the surface.

Having traveled so far, they had taken a lot of toll. Now that they had reported the situation, it was the right thing to do to return to their cave to heal their wounds.

"Young Master Xu, I'll come find you again later."

Seeing that Xu Yun was about to leave, Wen Siyue quickly waved to him and said this.

Although she had recovered from many injuries with the elixirs bestowed upon her by her family, she still had some hidden ailments that required time to heal.

Moreover, Xu Yun also needs to treat his injuries, so it's inconvenient for me to disturb him. But I can visit him later.

She had a lot of gratitude and many unresolved thoughts that she wanted to share with Xu Yun.

"Um?"

Meanwhile, while the others didn't take the young lady's words seriously, Wen Xuanqi subtly raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a member of the main branch of the Ruohe Wen family, he had naturally met Wen Siyue several times and knew her character.

Because of her distinguished background and exceptional talent, Wen Siyue is always aloof and arrogant to outsiders, only showing a hint of affection when facing elders like them.

However, at this moment, facing Xu Yun, a Class C retainer, she showed a hint of affection, which was very unusual, and she had never shown this even to her elders.

"Could it be that Siyue..."

Wen Xuanqi muttered to himself, feeling a bit overwhelmed, but ultimately it was just his personal guess.

Asking Wen Siyue rashly would likely backfire.

After much deliberation, he could only think of informing his family of this speculation, leaving the rest of them with a headache.

"I am ready to await the arrival of Fairy Siyue at any time."

After greeting him with a smile, Xu Yun left the place and returned to his cave to begin his seclusion.

Then, he quietly took out several storage bags, which belonged to the cultivators who had attacked Wen Siyue earlier.

The situation had been too critical, and Wen Siyue was inexperienced, so Xu Yun quietly put away all the storage bags without her noticing.

He then deciphered and opened them one by one, discovering that inside, besides some rare and precious materials, pills, and talismans, there were only a few thousand spirit stones and a first-grade high-quality copper bell magic artifact that caught his eye.

.......

Time flies, and several dozen days later...

Mofeng City was quite lively during this period, as it was said that the eldest daughter of Ruohe Wen family, one of the three Foundation Establishment families of Muyun Merchant Guild, had come here.

Her beauty was so stunning that it could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face and flowers blush. Countless people wanted to catch a glimpse of her, causing quite a stir, but unfortunately there was no way to do so.

However, according to rumors, this young lady of the Wen family was attacked on the road and was rescued by a Class C retainer named Xu Yun from the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

This act of kindness, which can be described as saving a life, has aroused envy and jealousy in many people, and has also become a topic of conversation that has spread far and wide.

Inkwind City Center.

Inside an elegant mansion, in a magnificent hall.

Snapped!

With a dull thud, Shi Han, his face ashen, slammed his wine glass on the table in fury, splashing wine everywhere.

"Damn it, why did this have to happen? Why did it have to be that Xu Yun guy?!"

As the son-in-law of the Zhao family of Ziyu, Shi Han had far more information than outsiders, which was why he couldn't help but panic at this moment.

The renowned eldest daughter of the Wen family seemed to have repeatedly contacted Xu Yun out of gratitude for saving her life, even visiting him at his home.

It is said that Wen Siyue and Xu Yun chatted happily at the time, and their relationship seemed quite unusual, which made Shi Han feel even colder.

As someone who has been through it all, he knows best what this sign means.

This means that the eldest daughter of the Wen family may very well have fallen for Xu Yun!

"If Xu Yun really manages to get on the good side of the Wen family's eldest daughter, wouldn't our situation become extremely dire? We might even lose our chance to be transferred to the clan's territory!"

At this point, Shi Han looked at the woman sitting beside him with a flustered expression. She was elegant and dignified, but the arrogance between her brows and eyes could not be concealed.

It wasn't that she did it on purpose, but this touch of arrogance was like the finishing touch, making her resemble a magnificent phoenix.

"Xuan'er, what should we do?!"
