Chapter 697 Dignity
With 10,000 jin of sorghum rice successfully delivered to the government, Tang Wan felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

Tang Wan originally intended to repay the Yu family's generosity by sending them a prescription.

I didn't expect the Yu family to be such a kind family. If that's the case, then the prospects for cooperating with the Yu family are much more promising.

It's important to understand that the most crucial element in cooperation is people.

After seeing off the people from the Yu residence, Tang Wan immediately turned around and entered her spatial dimension.

Time was of the essence, and the crops on the newly reclaimed five acres of land were growing vigorously at a rate visible to the naked eye.

But Tang Wan dared not slack off in the slightest, and came in to take care of it every day without fail, striving to achieve the best quality and the highest output in the shortest possible time.

Every night, in the stillness of the night, I would ring the bell with the War King as part of our daily routine.

Sometimes earlier, sometimes later, it depends on when the War King sets up camp.

The War King would recount his observations and experiences during the march every day.

Tang Wan then shared some trivial matters about the prefecture and the progress of the workshops.

This subtle, almost imperceptible connection quietly grew through silent exchanges.

"Oh, right," Tang Wan said to Zhan Wang, recalling what happened during the day, "the Yu family has successfully delivered 10,000 jin of sorghum today, and they have also obtained the new recipe. Judging from Young Master Yu's reaction, he seems to think highly of the recipe. By the way, the wine brewed with this new recipe is considered a collaboration, and I will receive 20% of the profits."

The War King's deep voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, came through: "Wan'er, you've always been thorough in your work. It's a blessing for the Yu family to cooperate with you. Just take good care of your health and don't worry me."

Tang Wan felt a sweet warmth in her heart after hearing Zhan Wang's words, but said aloud, "I know, you're so long-winded."

The War King paused, his tone turning serious. "Judging by the days, I'll be able to reach the Southern Desert border in a few days. This bell... will probably become ineffective in the next day or two."

Tang Wan's heart tightened slightly, but then she felt relieved.

This separation was entirely expected.

After the bell is upgraded, its effective communication range is less than two thousand kilometers, and it is probably almost there now, which means that the War King will soon reach the border of the Southern Desert.

"Yes, I know. Er Ya sent word that the convoy is proceeding smoothly and should arrive at your designated rendezvous point in about five or six days, based on the pace. Once you see Er Ya, if you need anything or have any news to share, have her contact me, and I'll get back to you immediately." She specifically emphasized Er Ya's special status, though the War King already knew a little about it.

"Alright." The War King's voice was calm and powerful. "You must also be careful in everything you do."

"Don't worry," Tang Wan replied, "I can handle it."

In the following days, Tang Wan spent her time either handling household chores or busy in the virtual space.

Just as Tang Wan was estimating that the next batch of grain would be harvested in a few days, the sound of bells broke the silence of the space.

Tang Wan was slightly taken aback.

The bell has been silent for several days since the War King went out of range.

She quickly picked up the bell and answered the call.

"Master, the eldest son of the Gao family has arrived. He wants you to visit the Gao residence." It was Boss Wan's voice, sounding travel-worn but still full of energy.

Tang Wan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Boss Wan is back?"

"Yes, I just got back today, and the people from the Gao family came to the shop. They're the same Gao family that the master visited a while ago." Boss Wan's voice was tinged with helplessness.

Tang Wan replied with a smile, "The capable should do more work. That Young Master Gao? Is it Gao Wenxuan? What does he want with me?"

Last time, she personally broke the extremely insidious blood-evil aura at the Gao residence. It was a wicked method, meticulously arranged with the hair of unjustly deceased women and filth from graves filled with heavy evil and death energy, specifically targeting the women of the Gao family, with the intention of causing the Gao family to have no descendants.

Boss Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "Young Master Gao would like to invite a master to the Gao residence to take another look at the feng shui. He said that Master Gao's health has been fluctuating recently, he can't sleep well at night, and there are some minor misfortunes happening in the household..."

Tang Wan's eyes narrowed.

Last time it was Young Master Gao, and this time it's Master Gao who's unwell, and things aren't going well in the household!

This instantly reminded her of the last time the Blood Fiend appeared. Could it be that the sinister poison had not been completely eradicated?

Is someone still harboring wicked intentions and has come up with new tricks?

Tang Wan was already rapidly calculating in her mind, but asked aloud, "Mr. Wan, what do you think is the best way to arrange this matter?"

“Young Master Gao is very sincere and is waiting for a reply in the shop. I think this matter should not be delayed. If you can spare some time tomorrow, Master, you should agree,” Boss Wan suggested.

Boss Wan paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and continued, "The Gao family... after all, there have been previous examples, so it's better to be cautious. But I think the master will definitely go, but he should be extra careful when he does."

The master is always kind-hearted and wouldn't ignore something like this.

Tang Wan smiled and said, "Mr. Wan understands me best! Then let's set it for tomorrow. Please ask Mr. Wan to tell Young Master Gao that I will pay a visit tomorrow at 9:00 AM."

Tang Wan personally dealt with the blood feud in the Gao family, and if there are any remnants or new problems, she has no choice but to take responsibility.

“Okay! I’ll go and get back to you right away,” Boss Wan readily agreed.

“Wait, Mr. Wan,” Tang Wanqiang paused for a moment, then continued, “Tomorrow, you will come with me to the Gao residence.”

"Don't worry, Master! I will be at your residence on time tomorrow morning to accompany you!" Boss Wan's tone was resolute.

The next morning, Tang Wan went to the fortune-telling shop to pick up Boss Wan and they went to the Gao residence together.

The Gao family steward and his servants greeted them respectfully: "Master! Boss Wan! The eldest young master is waiting for you in the study in the inner courtyard. Please follow me."

The steward's attitude was more respectful than last time, clearly indicating that the key figures in the household were aware of the young "master's" methods in turning the tide last time.

As she walked through the familiar courtyard and corridors, Tang Wan keenly sensed a slight change in the air.

Soon, the group arrived at a more secluded and elegant courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the eldest son of the Gao family was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.

Today he was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his face was handsome. However, the weariness between his brows seemed to be more pronounced, and his eyes were bloodshot, which clearly indicated that he had not rested well.

Upon seeing Tang Wan and Boss Wan enter, Young Master Gao's eyes were filled with surprise and delight, and he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

Upon approaching, Gao Wenxuan bowed respectfully, his voice tinged with anxiety: "Master! Boss Wan! Please come in! Wenxuan... I really have no choice but to trouble you again, Master! Please come in!"

After saying that, Gao Wenxuan led Tang Wan and the others into the study.

"Young Master Gao, please be patient. The problem will be resolved. Let me understand the details first." Tang Wan's cool voice rang out, sounding somewhat detached like that of a hermit.

Although I have some guesses, I still need to find out more details.

"Yes, yes, I feel relieved with the master here." Gao Wenxuan said this, but his expression did not relax at all.

It's been updated!
It's a bit late today, please excuse me if I have something to do.
