After hearing everything from Li Xiashen and seeing that he was feeling alright, Elena invited him to go to her estate. Those guards were not the only ones who were working for that esteemed person. So Elena wanted to make sure that he would not face any more danger after she went back.

Li Xiashen had no reason to not accept her proposal. He quickly packed all his things and got ready. His storage ring was not very large, so he only kept his valuables there. Then he left the "Sea Fairy's Blessing" with Elena.

After reaching her home Elena asked Lan Quiyuan to prepare a room for Li Xiashen to live and then she started to make plans on how she should handle that person who deceived the honest merchant.

Taking a brute force approach was the simplest solution and Elena was definitely an expert of this method. But unfortunately this method did not suit this situation very much. Elena previously used the brute force method to take care of the large families because that way those families would be scared and they would not dare to plan anything bad even in Elena's absence.

But for the current situation, using the brute force method would not give her any advantages. She already knew what that person was planning and the person who was in the city was also just a subordinate of the main mastermind. So beating him up was not very useful. He might stop due to his fear, but his boss would definitely not stop.

So Elena decided to not use the most tested and tried method of beating up and would use a more cunning approach.

But before that she told Li Xiashen that she would be leaving the city tomorrow and give him an offer to work for her Red Maple Group. Li Xiashen was very astonished to know that Su Yun was not just working for the Red Maple Group but was actually the owner of the company. But he soon snapped out of his surprise and accepted the offer.

Becoming a personal merchant of a large family of a different county was probably more advantageous but after getting betrayed and fooled, Li Xiashen thought that getting an honest but profitable job like that was not bad. So he decided to work as the vice president of the company.

...

Elena did not cancel her plan of leaving the city for taking revenge on Li Xiashen's behalf. Instead she hatched a nasty plan and asked all the workers of the Red Maple Group to co-operate in order to make this plan a success. Using this plan Li Xiashen himself would be able to deal a massive blow to them. Letting the victim take the shot was always better than doing it for them in Elena's opinion.

The next morning she left the city with Lin Yan. This time she did not take on any missions as the adventurer guild had little to no power in the White Rock county capital. So there was actually no mission for her to take. So, she and Lin Yan both booked two horses and then left the city.

Elena was planning to go to the Night Owl county next. It was close to the River Break county which was just beside the central county where the national capital was. Normally it would take them over a whole month to just reach the Night Owl county on horseback. But Elena did not want their speed to be so slow, so she switched the horses out with her summoned beast not long after leaving the city.

Lin Yan had never seen any beasts like the one that his teacher summoned, so he asked Elena about it. Elena then told him that those beasts were called Gale Wolves and they were some of the fastest beasts she had seen.

Those gale wolves were a native species of beasts living in the Gaim Empire. They were also the fastest beasts living there. As they were the fastest beast race of this world that Elena had seen, she decided to use them as her mount.

Elena made the plan to use the Gale Wolves as her mount last night. And as soon as she finalized it and told Lin Yan about the wolves, Celeste suddenly started to beg Elena to use her instead. The Great Dragon Celeste was very territorial in this regard. As she was Elena's mount, she never allowed any other of her summons to carry her.

So when she heard that Elena was going to use some lowly wolves as her mount, she was very very upset and started to plead Elena to use her instead. But obviously Elena could not just suddenly take out a level 3000 dragon so Elena had to give a lot of cuddles and had to pamper Celeste a lot before she was willing to allow Elena to cheat on her. Elena had no complaints about it as even she felt a little bad for not being able to ride on Celeste and promised her to go on a ride together very soon.

...

After riding on the gale wolves for a whole day, Elena and Lin Yan stopped by in a small town. This town was located close to the Night Owl county so many merchants used this place as a resting spot. This town was actually under the jurisdiction of a medium sized sect called the "Wild Flower Sect" so no one tried to commit any big crimes here. For that reason this city was considered to be very safe so merchants liked it a lot.

Before entering the city, Lin Yan and Elena switched back to their horses so there was no problem when entering the city. They also found a high class inn for spending the night. Everything was going on smoothly but trouble soon followed.

While Elena and Lin Yan were having their dinner, Lin Yan bumped into a person by mistake. That person suddenly moved backwards without looking back so that was mostly his fault. But still, as Lin Yan was a very good boy, he politely apologized and again walked toward his table.

But that person had something else in mind. He suddenly started to scold Lin Yan for absolutely no reason. He also demanded some kind of compensation for touching him and ruining his good mood. Hearing those unreasonable requests Lin Yan also got angry and asked why he should compensate him when it was mostly that person's fault.

Then the arrogant and unreasonable person whose name was Bai Shen declared that because he was a disciple of the Wind Flower Sect and an immortal cultivator, he had a noble status. So, for that reason, whatever he did was right.

Getting fed up with this arrogant person, Lin Yan ignored him and tried to walk back to his table where Elena was waiting with his food. But Bai Shen did not allow that and cast a wind magic spell to cut a piece of his cloth.

"Hehe, who are you trying to ignore, brat. I'm not letting you go until you compensate me."

Now Lin Yan was really getting angry as Elena was still waiting for him to bring the extra food for her to eat. So, to not waste anymore of his time, he asked -

"How do you want me to compensate ?"

"Hehe, now we are talking. Nothing much just take your big sister to spend a night with us brothers and I will forgive you."

After leaving the Capital of the White Rock county Elena dismissed the disguise of Su Yun as always acting like a man and covering her face like a suspicious person was getting tiresome.

So currently she was using an illusion to make herself look like a 16 or 17 year old girl whose looks were very similar to Lin Yan's. Yes, she was acting like Lin Yan's blood related big sister and her name was Lin Yun.

As Lin Yan was quite handsome looking himself and Lin Yue was also very pretty, Elena's current looks were quite attractive even though it was inferior if compared to her real looks. So, it looked like these sect disciples were trying to force her using Lin Yan.

Even though Elena could easily solve the situation using various means, she did nothing as she wanted to see what Lin Yan was going to do. He came with Elena to this journey to get more experience and this was a chance for him to get some.

Lin Yan had improved quite a bit in this short amount of time in his martial arts. So much so that he could feel that he would be able to defeat any of the sect disciples standing in front of him. But he could not fight all of them together. And he did not want to bother Elena for those weaklings.

He planned to take care of them alone but fighting then head on was not a solution. So, he needed to use tricks in order to win. Lin Yan suddenly started to shake as if he was scared after hearing that these people wanted his sister. He started to beg the disciples' forgiveness over and over again.

Getting irritated by him two of them took him outside the inn to teach him a lesson.

After about five minutes one of them returned and asked one more person to come with him to heal the boy as they had gone a bit overboard with the beating. The disciple with the healing ability did not suspect anything and went out.

There were only five disciples, so after the three of them went out, only two were left inside. They did not suspect anything and waited for their friends to come back. But again only the previous disciple who called the healer came back and asked for both of them to come. When they asked the reason, he just said that the disciple with the healing ability was calling them.

That disciple was the most talented one among them so after hearing that he was calling them, they also went outside the inn. After an incense stick of time only Lin Yan returned to the inn, picked up the plate of food and went back to Elena's table.
