“There’s an accountant to take care of the accounts,” Long Feiye remarked. “But it’ll all be left to you for management afterwards.”

Doubtful, Han Yunxi scooted closer and asked, “Long Feiye, you...are you planning to run away?” He was acting so strangely that it made her uneasy. It was as if he was planning to settle everything before vanishing from sight.

Long Feiye played with her hair as he gave her a pampering smile. “Even if I ran, I’d take you with me. Except if I was running for my life.”

Han Yunxi knocked his hand aside. “Long Feiye, just what are you planning to do?”

“You did so well managing Pill Fiend Pharmacy that your lordship can only count on your for my estates and properties too,” Long Feiye teased.

“I’m not just talking about that,” Han Yunxi paused, then grew serious. “Do you have some plan in mind to deal with Celestial Mountain’s current conduct?” She only felt that Long Feiye was making preparations before their trip to Celestial Mountain for her sake because they’d be in danger then.

A complicated look flickered past Long Feiye’s face before he said lightly, “Their current actions are violent and dangerous. If I still can’t descend the mountain by mid-autumn, you can leave first and help me take care of the commander-in-chief’s estate here, as well as deal with developments in the western regions?”

“Is it because of Duanmu Yao?” Han Yunxi grew anxious. Would Long Feiye’s actions make him the sword sect master’s enemy because of that girl? In her impression, he had always respected his master even with Duanmu Yao causing trouble. Celestial Mountain Sword Sect’s grandmaster was the number one expert across the continent. His martial arts had reached unfathomable heights. If her guesses were right, then he’d really be in peril.

“It has nothing to do with her. Cang Qiuzi is the biggest source of trouble,” Long Feiye replied. In truth, even that man was number two. His primary obstacle laid with himself--or rather, the lock still sealed in his body. If he could smoothly get rid of it on their trip to Celestial Mountain, then it’d be easy to take care of Cang Qiuzi as well. In the jianghu’s martial arts circles, strength directly determined the successors as kings. It wasn’t as complicated or variable as the royal courts. Meanwhile, he’d never taken Duanmu Yao to heart, nor was he planning to let her return to the mountain. As long as she didn’t come back, master wouldn’t have any conflicts with him.

Once he obtained the power to speak for Celestial Mountain, none of Cloud Realm’s martial arts circles would dare to threaten the south central regions and its commander-in-chief’s estate. He could also use the martial arts circles’ strength in the future to take down the two mercenary cities under his command. He always knew that the strength of the jianghu couldn’t be underestimated. Duanmu Yao’s efforts to rally their forces against Ning Cheng was already clear proof of their power.

Celestial Mountain’s current actions would have far-reaching effects. While the three nations were busy fighting in the western regions for the next few months, visiting them would be the best idea. If they didn’t move now, Heaven knows what Duanmu Yao and Cang Qiuzi would end up teaming with Jun Yixie or worse. Cang Qiuzi had always wanted to gain support from the secular world to buff up his power at Celestial Mountain. Since Jun Yixie and Duanmu Yao had already colluded in the past, connecting the man with Cang Qiuzi would wrest the situation beyond Long Feiye’s control. That was one thing that couldn’t happen.
