After solving any type of problem that her newly created company might face, Elena was finally ready to leave the White Rock county. She decided to leave the city after spending one more day saying goodbye to everyone she was acquainted with. That included several ladies of the red light district, quite a few merchants and a few other people who helped her out in different ways.

Elena had already visited the core part of the red light district. And not only that but she had also bought one establishment there. But instead of a brothel, she opened a welfare establishment there.

This place was in charge of teaching the courtesans several types of skills and knowledge. They also started to sell several products that are useful for preventing the spread of diseases during sexual intercourse. That place also had medicine that could cure an already affected person.

The life of a prostitute was already hard. So, Elena wanted to give them as much safety as possible. So, she also hired a few female martial artists to petrol the red light district in order to prevent any more incident like the last one with the sick prostitutes. In Elena's previous world, once she was helped by a whole red light district and even in the face of an unbeatable enemy they tried to protect her as much as possible. There she had seen how miserable the life of a prostitute was, so she had a soft spot for them in her heart.

...

So after bidding goodbye to everyone in the red light district, Elena next went to the Nine Dragon Pavillion to meet with An Zuang before leaving. An Zuang had helped her quite a bit, and even though he was able to earn a lot of money from Elena's purchases, she was still grateful for all his help. So she decided to meet him and give him a gift before leaving.

After interacting with him for a lot of time in the last few days, Elena got a decent idea after his hobbies and likes. So finding a gift for him was quite easy. An Zuang was a massive nerd for martial arts. Even though he was living in a nation that considered immortal cultivation to be superior to martial arts, he had always felt that martial arts were the coolest.

Even though he did not have any aptitude for both martial arts and immortal cultivation, he still liked to collect things related to martial artists. So, Elena gave him a very good looking set of full body light armour of a martial artist as a gift. Obviously, An Zuang was insanely happy about it.

...

After saying her goodbye and giving An Zuang a gift next she went to the general markets of all three districts to meet with the shop keepers there. She had bought a lot of things from those shops and was also a regular in the food shops, so all the shop keepers were very fond of Su Yun.

For that reason, when Elena visited the shops to inform them that she was leaving and gave them gifts, the shop keepers were very disappointed that she was leaving so soon. They also gave a lot of return gifts to Elena and not accepting them would have been disrespectful so she accepted all of it. Those gifts were enough for her to fill two regular storage rings.

...

After that she returned home to have her lunch. That Lin Yan approached her and asked -

"Master, can you take me with you ?"

When Lin Yan heard that Elena was leaving so soon, he wanted to go with her. But he had his baby sister to take care of and also he was not sure if he would be a burden to Elena. For that reason, he was able to ask Elena to take him with her. But after thinking about it for a while a whole night and half a day, he finally decided to ask Elena this question.

"Umm, what about Yue'er ?"

"I'm sure she would be safe with the guards and sister Han. And I will also come back after gaining some experience. So I will not be away for long."

"Oh, you have just started to learn martial arts and your strength is really weak. So do you think, you're ready to go out for an adventure ?"

"Master, I know that I'm weak. So I want to become stronger as soon as possible. And I believe, going out with you is the safest possible way for me to become stronger faster."

Seeing Lin Yan's resolute but somewhat guilty expression Elena was laughing inside. She really liked this straight forward and good natured boy. So she did not reject and tease the boy anymore and said -

"Okay then, you can come with me. But we will only be travelling for a short amount of time. After going to some other counties and cities, I will send you back. But still you will be away for several months so go and spend some more time with Yue'er."

Saying so Elena patted Lin Yan's head. His poor child had suffered a lot in his life. So she wanted to make this kid happier. And going out with her would be both the safest option and the fastest way to get more strength. Hearing Elena agreeing, Lin Yan's face lit up in joy and he smiled happily. Then he nodded his head and went to find his sister.

...

After having her lunch Elena went to an inn called the "Sea Fairy's Blessing". It was the inn where Li Xiashen was staying. As she got closer to the inn Elena heard some kind of commotion happening there. After reaching the inn Elena witnessed a scene that made her quite angry.

Three burly martial artists were beating up a slightly fat man. The fat man's face was bloodied and bruised so much so that it was impossible to recognise his identity by his face. But Elena could obviously recognise him as Li Xiashen by his aura.

She decided to investigate what happened later and instantly kicked the three martial artists to the ground. Then she cast a healing spell on Li Xiashen to stop his bleeding and heal his other wounds. He was actually in a worse condition than what it looked like. His internal organs were very damaged and if without Elena, his wounds would be very hard to heal for ordinary healers and priests.

Then finally Elena used her powers to investigate what had happened. And after finding out the truth, Elena became even more angry. But before lashing out she decided to first take Li Xiashen to safety. He needed to rest very badly.

When Li Xiashen regained his consciousness, he found Su Yun sitting across from him. As he was an intelligent man, he was able to easily deduce what had happened. Realising how much Su Yun had done for a lowly merchant like him, he got emotional and started to tell Su Yun what had happened.

Actually Li Xiashen was able to earn quite a lot of money after working with the Red Maple Group. Other than mapping the route, he also helped the group by telling them what type of items are wanted in the remote areas and that information made Li Xiashen quite a hefty sum of money.

So when the guards of the esteemed person with whom he was willing to go came to his inn and asked about his progress in collecting money, Li Xiashen got a bit over excited and bragged about earning over three hundred thousand R in just a single day. And that was a big mistake.

After learning that he had earned so much and he already had more than enough to leave a good life in any place, the guards suddenly asked him to hand over the money. When he refused, they started to threaten him. Getting scared, Li Xiashen tried to use the name of their boss to stop them but the guards just laughed it off and again threatened him.

Even so, Li Xiashen did not give them the money as that was very important to him. Getting irritated, the guards decided to get physical and started to beat him up. Then in their excitement one of the guards told him that their boss never intended to bring him along. He was just trying to use him as a local of the White Rock county and before leaving this county they always planned to get rid of him.

Hearing that, even a coward like Li Xiashen lost his mind in rage and punched a guard in the balls. That made all the guards even more irritated and they stopped holding back and almost beat him to death. Just when he was about to die, Elena finally came and saved his life.

This was a very pitiful story, but only Li Xiashen was at fault in this scenario in Elena's opinion. He should not have believed a stranger so easily. But even though that was the case, Elena was still going to punish those people. After interacting with Li Xiashen for some time, Elena was quite fond of this sincere, hardworking but a little dumb merchant.

So, just like that, Elena had one more little side quest to take care of before leaving the White Rock county.
