After a check, although the goods were somewhat disordered, they eventually let Xiaoyao through since he hadn't broken any rules and was also from Qingyun State, which belonged to the Sky Wind Kingdom.

Xiaoyao tidied up and rode Mao Mao into the kingdom. He found it normal that the goods were a bit messy as inspections often resulted in such situations; besides, he didn’t care about the state of the goods since they were just a decoy anyway.

After entering the Sky Wind Kingdom, Xiaoyao headed straight towards Qingyun State without stopping to sightsee because he was already familiar with events there and saw nothing worth his attention.

No special incidents occurred along the way until he encountered a group. That’s when he learned what had happened in the Sky Wind Kingdom: several empires were holding a military exchange conference!

This group belonged to one of those empires, which also informed Xiaoyao that the meeting was being held in Qingyun City!

This made Xiaoyao somewhat puzzled. Why would such an important place be chosen for this small city Who selected this location It truly had no taste at all!!

"Ah-choo!"

Ning Ziyuan, far away in the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty Empire, suddenly sneezed.

"Your Majesty, are you not feeling well Are you overworking yourself You should rest early," a minister worriedly said.

"I’m fine. It feels like someone is talking behind my back! By the way, have there been any developments regarding those two girls" Ning Ziyuan asked.

"None!" The minister knew whom Ning Ziyuan was referring to: the two female military deities in the Sky Wind Kingdom, Miss and Nan Gong Suxin.

“The Sky Wind Kingdom is their home. Even if something happens there, the king would help them. There’s no need to worry! I chose Qingyun City specifically to prevent any trouble from happening elsewhere. Ah, it’s a pity that those two girls aren’t as well-mannered and cultured as the other little girl in the Nan Gong family.” Ning Ziyuan somewhat lamented. The other little girl referred to was naturally Nan Gong Suxin, the third daughter of the Nan Gong family.

Had Xiaoyao been here, he would have understood that it was because Ning Ziyuan had such poor taste in choosing Qingyun City. However, his intentions were indeed for Miss and Nan Gong Suxin’s sake, which was quite reasonable.

The location of the conference didn’t make much difference; they’d all be held similarly. So why choose here

“Actually, General Nan Gong is rather well-mannered and cultured, but she's led astray by General Mo Yu. Nevertheless, they still have their limits. This isn't a big deal. Some military officers are even worse than them, but since they're girls, we expect them to be more refined,” the minister objectively replied.

“That’s true. They’ve already solved many of my problems for me. Compared to her, the other one is somewhat troublesome. She caused a ruckus at Yixian Ridge and then disappeared; my Empress Sister has been looking for her every day, asking about her whereabouts. It's driving me mad!” Ning Ziyuan thought about Xiaoyao, which was quite normal. When people think of Miss and Nan Gong Suxin, they often think of Xiaoyao as well.

The success behind Miss and Nan Gong Suxin’s achievements was due to Xiaoyao's existence—without his guidance, medicinal pills, military books, and so on...

All these things contributed to their current accomplishments. However, few people knew about this; even Ning Ziyuan only found out later.

"Is Your Majesty referring to the young nobleman We received an unconfirmed report that he was seen at the Fang Family and..." The minister didn’t continue, for with the Tang Dynasty Empire's intelligence network and the fact that the Fang Family could not hide such information, the news of Xiaoyao being spotted at the Fang Family could be obtained.

Of course, this was because the Tang Dynasty Empire deliberately gathered information on Xiaoyao. Others who didn’t care about him would ignore it as unimportant.

"The Fang Family Which Fang Family" Ning Ziyuan frowned. Although sometimes "Fang Family" referred to a specific one, there were still many Fang Families. Besides, he couldn’t comprehend why Xiaoyao would be seen at the head of any family; it made no sense.

"The Global First Family," the minister replied.

“Strange, how did he get involved with the Fang Family You said ‘and’ something earlier. Finish your sentence,” Ning Ziyuan said.

"According to rumors, his origins are somehow connected to the Fang Family, but I don’t know the specifics," the minister replied, knowing only that much—or rather what was allowed by the Fang Family for others to know; details were known only to those present at the time.

“How could his background be related to the Fang Family Could it mean Jiang Donglai is from the Fang Family” Ning Ziyuan was quite puzzled, as he now assumed Xiaoyao was Princess Zhu Yue's son and thus thought of Jiang Donglai.

"No. It’s said that a female member of the Fang Family might be the young nobleman’s mother; her name is Fang Chunxue, and she was also known as a genius over twenty years ago," the minister weakly said, for this news implied Xiaoyao wasn’t Princess Zhu Yue's child—something which could displease Ning Ziyuan.

"Is this information confirmed" Ning Ziyuan frowned. He now felt that Xiaoyao’s existence was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty Empire. If they lost contact with him, it was uncertain whether he would still side with them.

Since Xianyao's emergence, he has brought a lot to the Tang Dynasty Empire. Guxing, Moyu, and Nangong Xuxin are undoubtedly the biggest benefits. If given a choice between Xianyao and the Tang Dynasty Empire, I believe they would definitely choose Xianyao without hesitation.

Currently, the Tang Dynasty Empire not only has Princess Changgong, this unparalleled powerhouse, but also these three new generation talents with limitless potential who are already imperial-level warriors. In the future, it's possible that they will become unparalleled powerhouses like Princess Changgong. If that happens, the Tang Dynasty Empire's strength would surpass any other forces and even the demonic sect wouldn't be a concern.

This also highlights the importance of these three individuals and the significance of Xianyao himself. Therefore, Ning Zhiyuan is unwilling to see any disconnection between him and Xianyao.

If Xianyao truly turns out to be from the Fang family, he would keep the position of Lesser Prince for Xianyao and have Princess Changgong bring him over to stand on Tang Dynasty's side. As for blood ties, it isn't important at all.

To a person of this caliber, blood ties are not important; everyone chooses more significant interests!

"I'm still not very sure, just heard rumors." The subordinate shook his head, about Xianyao's news were only rumors and there wasn't any confirmation. This was also the reason why he hadn't reported it to him because they still need to clarify this matter.

“Go and investigate thoroughly. Even if Xianyao isn’t Zhu Yue’s son, treat him as such – my nephew! There is no need for any doubts!” Ning Zhiyuan said.

"Your subjects understand!!"

Xianyao, although I want you to find out your true identity, I'm also afraid that it won't be what I want. Truly a conflict of interest! But whether or not I want it doesn’t matter; ultimately, it depends on the facts.

"Sigh… Leave things as they are!" Ning Zhiyuan sighed and then returned his thoughts to matters concerning him in front of his own palace, continuing their previous discussion.

Returning to Tianfeng Kingdom, Xianyao did not walk with the team he met. This wasn't because he wanted to walk alone but because they completely ignored him, even if it was on the same road as them.

This is understandable; they were high-level officials in the empire while Xianyao appeared like a mere small merchant, and besides MaoMao catching others' attention, nothing else did.

It's best this way. Xianyao doesn't want to attract others' attention; walking with these people would definitely draw unwanted attention. Better to walk alone!

In this manner, Xianyao rode MaoMao solo into Qingyun City. At present, Qingyun City seemed quite bustling, which was a good thing for Xianyao since he could sell off his goods and get a good price.

"Silk! Superior Wu Kingdom silk, ladies passing by, don't miss out!"

Xianyao's first action upon arriving in Qingyun City wasn't going to the Mo Family but coming straight to the market to sell his goods. Regardless of whether he was selling these goods or asking the Mo Family Head about something, both were necessary tasks and didn’t need to be done in a specific order.

Very quickly, Xianyao's cries attracted some people. In Qingyun City, Wu Kingdom silk was quite popular and superior Wu Kingdom silk had many noble ladies and mistresses desiring it.

However, on this market, it seemed that few of these noblewomen appeared; instead, there were more commoner women. This was a typical ordinary civilian market.

Hence, even if Xianyao's calls could attract others, no one bought anything and not even those asking for prices existed, only onlookers.

Since no one took the initiative, let’s take it ourselves!

Xianyao opened his mouth to speak to everyone around him: "Everyone, these are superior Wu Kingdom silks. After my verification, their craftsmanship is exquisite and they’re top-quality goods among the best class. Would you like to buy a few bolts"

"This... how much does this sell for" Someone finally spoke up, though in a weak voice. This was an only ten-year-old girl; sometimes, these first inquiries are made by children.

"You can look at it and give whatever you want to pay. If I like your offer, I’ll sell." Xianyao said casually.

“What What do you mean” The little girl didn't understand and looked at Xianyao with innocent eyes.

"Name a price; if I feel it’s suitable, I will sell!" Xianyao chuckled as he said this. Sometimes when selling things, he was so casual that all he cared about was whether or not he liked the offer, regardless of the price.

“I only have thirteen copper coins; with these, I can buy enough material for a new dress.” The little girl took out her money from her body and showed it all.

"Alright, since you’ve put everything on the line, let’s make this deal! What color do you want" Xianyao nodded to agree under everyone's gaze, shocking them all. (To be continued)sip first! Drink it slowly..." The young lady handed over Xiao Yaoyao's cup, pours the wine gently into it, being careful not to spill a drop, then takes a sniff of the cup and drinks slowly."Ha... so...
