Chapter 2724

Lan Tian spoke with a calm demeanor, though a hint of shyness remained. It was clear his words were sincere.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at Lan Tian, then smiled. "Since it is decided, go speak to Qing Yun yourself. Explain everything clearly. I will not stop you."

Lan Tian nodded and hurried off to find Qing Yun.

"You let her go so easily?" As soon as Lan Tian left, Yan Aohan appeared beside Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I only have three of my Eight Ministers. I still need five more. If Lan Tian is trained well, she could become one of them. But I will need your help with that, Husband."

Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "Rest assured. Your matters are my matters. Since you say so, I naturally agree."

In truth, Yan Aohan had felt a bit uneasy recently because Zhu Yanyi was so busy with her disciples. Now that Qing Yun had a partner, her wife would not need to spend so much energy on her. Thinking this way, Lan Tian’s arrival was actually a good thing.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. She knew her thoughts but did not expose them. She simply said, "The day after tomorrow, let’s go see the Seven Families Trading Fair. We might buy quite a few things."

"Alright. I will accompany you then," Yan Aohan said, naturally not refusing.

Lan Tian led Qing Yun out. Qing Yun’s face held a trace of shyness, but their interaction showed they already had affection for each other.

"Auntie, I want to take Qing Yun to the Lan family," Lan Tian said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Lan Tian, before reaching the Golden Core stage, it is best not to lose your original essence. It is bad for your future cultivation. After you successfully form your cores, I will hold a partnership ceremony for you. For now, you can engage, but do not go too far."

"Master," Qing Yun’s face flushed red. "I am only fourteen. You are saying this too early."

"I know you are only fourteen. That is why I am telling you clearly now, to prevent you from making mistakes later," Zhu Yanyi said with an innocent expression.

Lan Tian coughed. "Auntie, please rest assured. I am not a beast. I treat Qing Yun with true heart. Before I successfully form my core, I will absolutely not touch her."

"Good," Zhu Yanyi said, very satisfied. She waved her hand. "Alright. You are both Spirit Venerables now. On this plane, no one can be your opponent. So, go."

Indeed, there were few cultivators on this plane. So-called Spirit Venerables were actually only at the Qi Condensation stage, yet they were already very powerful here.

Lan Tian held Qing Yun’s hand and went to the Lan family.

The Lan family was happy about Lan Tian and Qing Yun’s relationship. Mainly because Qing Yun was a Spirit Venerable. Besides, she had a mysterious master behind her. So, they naturally agreed.

Qing She watched Lan Tian take her sister away. She looked at Zhu Yanyi with some dissatisfaction. "Master Auntie, how could you agree to let that person trick my sister away?"

"Qing She, do you miss your sister?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.

Qing He sighed. "I do miss her. Although I know girls must marry when they grow up, I still miss her."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Everyone has their own path to walk. Qing Yun has her path, and you have yours. I know you are worried Qing Yun will suffer with Lan Tian, right?"

"Yes," Qing He said, looking gloomy. "Only my sister, me, and Great-Grandfather are left in our family. Everyone else is gone. Our family foundation is too thin. What if someone bullies my sister?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Qing She, speechless. "Qing She, who do you think I am? Who do you think your Master Uncle is? Who do you think your Master, Master Aunt, and Master Granduncle are? With us here, how is your sister’s family foundation thin?"

"Brat, if you cannot speak properly, do not speak," Fire Emperor suddenly appeared and gave him a knuckle rap on the head. "You worry about this and that at such a young age. Are you not afraid of going bald?"

"Master, I am just anxious because it concerns me," Qing He said quickly.

Fire Emperor said, "What are you anxious about? You have too many thoughts for your age. Your sister has your Master Auntie. Do you think your Master Auntie is just a decoration?"

Qing He realized his mistake. He had truly forgotten this point, given how powerful his master was.

"Besides, true love is about the person. As long as the people match, everything else can be created later. So-called 'matching status' is simply whether the individuals suit each other," Zhu Yanyi explained slowly.

"Your sister is already a Spirit Venerable in this world. Lan Tian is also a Spirit Venerable, but her level is not as high as your sister’s. The strong are respected. Family background is empty talk. Besides, with me behind your sister, her background cannot be thin."

Qing He thought about it and realized it was true. He quickly said, "I was just saying it casually. Hehe, just casually."

Zhu Yanyi and the others did not take the child’s words to heart. After all, it was a sign of caring for her sister, so Zhu Yanyi did not mind at all.

Two days later, the Seven Families Trading Fair began.

In Qicai City, the busiest and most lively event of the year was the Seven Families Trading Fair. It was initiated by the Bai, Mo, Zi, Lan, Hong, Qing, and Huang families. The fair lasted for seven days.

During these seven days, each family would present one treasure for sale or trade every day. Of course, the main purpose was to show off, so each family prepared seven items for the week.

Besides the seven treasures from the seven families, they would also provide other items during the seven days, such as distinctive weapons, protective gear, clothes, and utensils. There might also be beast pets, medicinal herbs, or food. They sold whatever they had.

Besides the specialties of the seven families, other small nearby clans would send their local products to participate in the fair.

In short, these seven days were always very lively.

The ten of them, including Zhu Yanyi, split into five groups. Except for Qing Shan and Qing She, who were a pair, the others were couples. They went out to browse separately. Their随缘 Pharmacy (Suiyuan Pharmacy) had its own formation running automatically. Even if thieves entered, they would not fear. Once inside, one was within the formation. So, Zhu Yanyi and the others were not worried about anything happening there. Besides, ordinary people could not enter the Suiyuan Pharmacy. Only those with fate could enter.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan held hands and chose a street for medicinal herbs.

Actually, Zhu Yanyi did not have high hopes for the herbs here. She just wanted to take a look, hoping to see something she wanted. Even if she did not, she would not be disappointed.
