At the Lavender Manor, Su Wan closed the forum. Xu Yuan and Su Wan became more aware of how the new changes were affecting the world.
Su Wan prepared a carriage to go to the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce once again. She wanted to talk to Nami about the things she had found out on the forum.
Information was valuable in the right hands.
She waited at the office. After half an hour, Su Wan saw a tired Nami enter the office. Nami never seemed to rest.
Su Wan didn’t make small talk. She told Nami about everything truthfully.
Nami was shocked after listening to her. Her face turned serious. She was silent for a long time.
“Lord Su Wan, I didn’t expect to make such a small mistake,” said Nami.
“What do you mean?”
“We assumed that this plane would willingly accept the ancient gods’ return. However, the new gods have been in power for so long that they have completely taken over the people here. The world might not accept the ancient gods anymore. This war will turn out to be more complicated than we thought.”
“President Nami, we are friends. If you need help, I’ll do my best to support you in every way,” said Su Wan.
“Information is extremely precious to me,” said Nami with a smile. “There is no need to worry too much for now. No one can stop the return of the ancient gods.”
“I look forward to that day,” said Su Wan.
She took her leave and headed back to the manor. Nami watched Su Wan and Xu Yuan leave with a faint smile on her lips. She was glad that these two people were on the same side as her.
After returning to the Lavender Manor, Su Wan hugged Xu Yuan and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Wan decided to head back to her territory. She didn’t want to stay back in Canglan City longer than necessary.
The Soul Contract was in her hands now. She needed to subdue and recruit the Vampire Duke as soon as possible.
Su Wan asked Mestre to make the arrangements. Mestre nodded and handled it immediately. She didn’t ask Su Wan to stay back. The situation was urgent.
Mestre told her that she would always be on standby if she was needed.
Su Wan thanked her. She was glad that she had chosen Mestre to manage the Lavender Business Guild. There was no one else as capable as her.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan got into the carriage and rode it out of Canglan City.
Not long after, a carriage with the emblem of Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce arrived in front of Lavender Business Guild.
A middle-aged lady alighted from the carriage and hurried through the gates.
Mestre was a little surprised to see her. She was Diana, personal guard to Her Highness Bayion. Diana wasn’t unfamiliar, but she had always visited with Bayion before.
“Lady Diana, welcome! I hope everything is well. Is Her Highness here too?” said Mestre.
“Her Highness Bayion is currently studying martial arts and magic. She will only return next month.” Diana smiled warmly.
Mestre nodded.
Bayion had vowed that she would get stronger. It seemed she was going to keep her word this time.
“Then… may I ask why you’re here?” asked Mestre.
“Archduke Qing You wants to see Lord Su Wan.”
Mestre’s smile froze on her face. There was no one in Canglan City who didn’t know Archduke Qing You. He was the ruler of this city, after all. He was a legendary ascetic who was extremely powerful in combat.
He could swim in a lava and brave dragon’s breath without armor. He was one of the most powerful people in the world right now.
“President Mestre, you don’t need to look so shocked. Archduke Qing You has no ill intentions toward Lord Su Wan,” said Diana in reassurance. “Recently, there was an abyssal rift in one of the ruins. Numerous demons were swarming out of there. It seemed Lord Su Wan was the one who was able to subdue the demons and save the ruins. Archduke Qing You appreciates her efforts. That’s all. Moreover, Bayion always mentions Su Wan to her father. Archduke Qing You is curious about her, so he wants to meet her in person.”
Mestre calmed herself. She was glad to hear that Archduke Qing You wasn’t planning anything bad. If not, Lord Xu Yuan would have to step in.
“This is really unfortunate. Lord Su Wan was here, but she left just half an hour ago!” said Mestre. “I’ll send her a message and inform her. Meanwhile, would you be kind enough to apologize to Archduke Qing You on my behalf?”
Mestre wrote a letter to Su Wan immediately. She explained the situation and implored Lord Su Wan to return to Canglan City as soon as possible.
It wasn’t a good thing to reject an audience with powerful people.
Diana nodded. “Do you need help with anything? Her Highness Bayion explicitly told me to provide any help I can while she is gone.”
“Thank you so much for offering,” said Mestre. “Thankfully, with Her Highness’ guidance, the Lavender Business Guild has been doing well. However, I’ll definitely trouble you if I encounter a problem.”
Diana nodded and didn’t say anything else. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left.
Mestre watched Diana leave. She was conflicted because she didn’t know whether the audience with Archduke Qing You was a good or a bad thing.
With a heavy heart, he dispatched a soldier with the letter to take it to Su Wan.
Diana boarded the carriage and sat back. She was deep in thought..
