Ouyang Ningnuo!

As soon as Gu Beiyue brought up the name, Han Yunxi recalled the man. Back on Fishery Island, her first impression of him was ‘absolutely shameless!’ He had clearly collaborated with Jun Yixie to get some profits out of Tianning’s famine situation, but abandoned his partner to ride Long Feiye’s ship back to shore. Then he’d even donated a bunch of grain for the disaster regions in Tianning.

In any case, here was a man who had no morals at all when it came to profits. Still, aren’t all merchants like this, much less a big businessman like Ouyang Ningnuo? Despite a bad impression of the man, it didn’t affect Han Yunxi’s willingness to cooperate with him. She knew he had quite the status in Medicine City.

The three big families of Medicine City as well as the more minor clans were all proficient in raising medicinal plants, but that didn’t mean they were experts in buying and selling them off. Most of their business went through traders than helped them spread their wares to the major markets and minor shops across Cloud Realm Continent. Cloud Realm Continent’s Trade Consortium had the strongest trading power and worked with all three big clans in Medicine City. Most of the medicine on the market went through them.

Han Yunxi hadn’t started business with any trade consortiums for the rare ingredients she wanted yet. Most of these items were under control of the elders in Medicine City. Still, if Ouyang Ningnuo was willing to act as a middleman, she might be able to get some for herself.

“I have to find a way to speak with him, but without exposing the news,” Han Yunxi grew thoughtful.

“Fortunately, a detailed list of things to buy for the imperial pharmacy will be coming out in a few days. Ouyang Ningnuo will pay a personal visit here to oversee the sales, so this official is willing to secure relations between you both,” Gu Beiyue replied.

Han Yunxi was thrilled. Thus, the issue was resolved neatly. After going home, she told Long Feiye about the day’s events. He nodded but offered no views of his own. Next, Han Yunxi wrote a letter to Gu Qi Sha explaining the situation since the business was under his name. Pill Fiend had a right to know, too. Instantly, Gu Qi Sha replied to say that he had no objections, either. Still, both he and Long Feiye insisted on coming along to Han Yunxi’s first business meeting with Ouyang Ningnuo. Gu Beiyue had successfully arranged the date, so he came along as well.

When Ouyang Ningnuo saw the four of them show up, he was a little dumbfounded. He assumed that he’d just be meeting Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi, but never expected that weird eccentric Gu Qi Sha, or the ever-busy Duke of Qin, would tag along as well. Still, he recovered quickly enough for a slight bow with his hands clasped before him. Although Jun Yixie had set a large bounty on Ouyang Ningnuo’s head for assassins, it hadn’t affected him much at all. He was dressed similarly to his trip to Fishery Island—completely white robes that gave him an elegant and smart carriage.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, it’s been a while since our meeting at Fishery Island. This humble one has missed you both.”

“Your Excellency Pill Fiend, it must have been two years since we’ve last met as well.”

Before all these guests, Head Imperial Physician Gu Beiyue turned into a person of little importance instead. Ouyang Ningnuo greeted him last, but with the same friendly, polite tone. “Imperial Physician Gu, I trust you have been well since we parted?”
