“We’re leaving tomorrow, then?” Yi Tianheng confirmed with Lu Yu.

“Yes, tomorrow,” Lu Yu replied curtly.

“In that case, I’ll head back and get myself prepared. I’ll meet you both tomorrow morning. Since we’re a group of three, how about we travel in my carriage?” Yi Tianheng offered.

Lu Yu turned to Zhao Qingya for her input. “What do you think?”

“No objections from me,” Zhao Qingya replied indifferently. “The carriage of the son of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce president is bound to be luxurious. It suits me just fine.”

Lu Yu nodded in agreement. “Alright then. In that case, let Jiang Xun and your men pack up here and follow us later.”

A flicker of curiosity crossed Zhao Qingya’s face. “What’s your plan for Jiang Xun’s development? The power gap between you two is vast. It wouldn’t be ideal for him to train alongside you.”

Lu Yu elaborated, “Exactly. He wouldn’t benefit much training with you. He’ll develop alongside the other hunting team members. I’ll provide him with support to accelerate his growth, but ultimately, his progress depends on his own effort.”

“As a first step, I plan to give him the evolutionary potion.”

Yi Tianheng’s eyes widened at this news. “Wow, what a great big brother! You’re willing to share such a valuable item first.”

Lu Yu shot him a deadpan look. “I can’t use it myself, can I? It’s a subpar potion, unfit for my dragon.”

Yi Tianheng’s heart sank at Lu Yu’s explanation. “Subpar… I’m curious, what kind of battle pet do you have?”

Lu Yu waved a dismissive hand towards Zhao Qingya. “I’ll head back for now. See you both tomorrow morning. We set off for Black Gold City then, to investigate the situation.”

“Sounds good. I’ll be waiting,” Zhao Qingya replied.

…

Back at the villa, Lu Yu found Jiang Xun having dinner at the table.

“I’m leaving for Black Gold City tomorrow. Stay here and integrate well with your colleagues.”

Jiang Xun nodded eagerly. “No problem. But why the rush?”

“I want to investigate the situation there as soon as possible. Once it’s settled, I’m heading for the capital.”

Lu Yu placed a vial on the table. “This is an evolutionary potion. Take it and give it to your Frost Dragon to enhance its strength. I hope you can climb the ranks quickly and reach a high position. I’ve stockpiled potions for you; use them to accelerate your growth.”

“Unfortunately, my assistance can only take you so far. The rest of the journey is yours to walk.”

Jiang Xun’s expression turned serious. “Big Brother Lu, I understand. I’ll work hard and reach the capital someday too!”

Lu Yu offered a small nod. “Good. You were the first person to extend a helping hand after I arrived in the Ten Thousand Dragon Country. So, I’m returning the favor.”

“I leave for Black Gold City tomorrow morning. See you then.”

Jiang Xun acknowledged Lu Yu’s words with a silent nod and continued his meal.

“One way or another, I’ll reach the top of the Patrol Department and become your right-hand man!” he declared with unwavering determination.

After receiving so much help from Lu Yu, Jiang Xun understood that he was already starting at a significant advantage and progressing faster than most. If he still couldn’t excel under these circumstances, it would truly reflect a lack of talent on his own part.

…

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Yu said his goodbyes to Hu Zhan and Jiang Xun before heading to the Patrol Department office building.

Downstairs, a magnificent four-wheeled carriage awaited them, drawn by four tall and powerful stags. Their antlers, a striking purple that faintly glowed, indicated they were no ordinary beasts.

Yi Tianheng hopped down from the carriage and approached Lu Yu. “You both made it! I’ve been waiting here impatiently, but it hasn’t even been ten minutes yet.”

“Let’s get on the road then,” Zhao Qingya said. “There’s no point in delaying.”

“Absolutely! We have a variety of delicious treats and some captivating novels onboard. Why not enjoy them during the journey?” Yi Tianheng enthused, ushering them into the carriage.

The interior was spacious, with a central table laden with an assortment of desserts and snacks. Lu Yu couldn’t help but remark, “This feels like a luxurious vacation. You know how to live comfortably.”

Yi Tianheng scratched his head sheepishly. “Well, this… is it considered luxurious? Usually, I’d bring along a few beautiful women for company. That’s what I call true enjoyment.”

A pointed cough escaped Zhao Qingya’s lips.

“Oh, apologies, I misspoke. We already have a stunning beauty in the carriage!” Yi Tianheng quickly corrected himself.

“The point is, private matters are best kept private. We’re not interested,” Zhao Qingya scolded lightly.

“Oh, right, I see. My apologies for the misunderstanding.” He scratched his head again awkwardly. “Alright, driver, let’s get going! No time to waste. Head straight for Black Gold City. We should arrive by nightfall.”

“Is this carriage exceptionally fast?” Zhao Qingya inquired.

“Not particularly fast,” Yi Tianheng admitted. “Normally, the journey takes two days. Reaching it in one day would be considered impressive.”

“Why is it usually a two-day trip?” Lu Yu asked.

Yi Tianheng started to answer, then coughed awkwardly, “Sorry, my fault.” He’d almost blurted out something inappropriate again. Only after seeing Zhao Qingya’s stern expression disappear did he continue, “Because typically, there are lovely women accompanying me in the carriage…”

As the carriage rolled out of Skyplume City, Yi Tianheng peeked out the window at the receding city walls. “Such a shame,” he sighed. “Only here for two days and I have to leave already. Feels like a wasted trip.”

“Actually, considering you know Lu Yu, it wasn’t a wasted trip at all. He’s accepted a quest to help you deal with the problem you’re facing.”

Yi Tianheng spun around, eyes wide. “Really? You can solve the financial crisis of our Chamber of Commerce?”

Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes. “Of course not! We’re talking about the wild beasts going berserk, not some fabricated financial crisis!”

“Apologies,” Yi Tianheng mumbled. “Our business has indeed suffered lately due to these rampaging beasts. We even had to lay off some employees recently.”

He then turned to Lu Yu with a tempting offer. “Lu Yu, why not consider switching sides? I can offer you a ridiculously high salary!”

Zhao Qingya interjected, her voice laced with disbelief. “You just said you had to lay off employees, and now you’re offering to hire someone new? Are you serious?”

Yi Tianheng stammered, “Well, but Lu Yu is incredibly powerful. One person like him could replace a hundred employees, right? Isn’t that basically the same thing?”

Speechless, Zhao Qingya retorted, “You have quite the imagination. Have you forgotten he’s the deputy mayor now?”

“Oh, right… yes, of course,” Yi Tianheng conceded. “Deputy mayor, I forgot. In that case, I guess poaching you isn’t an option…”

With a helpless sigh, he slumped back in his chair and reached for a dessert, starting to nibble on it. “Let’s get some rest. We should arrive by nightfall, as planned.”
