I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 156: Farewell

Before the city gates closed, Zhang Yuan escorted his mother and Xiang Xiu to their home in the county. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He introduced, "Mother, this is my good friend, Liu Seventh Lady."

Liu Seventh Lady removed her veil and gracefully bowed to Mother Zhang, "Seventh Lady greets Aunt."

Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Because the birthmark that covered most of Liu Seventh Lady’s face had disappeared.

Although she still wasn’t beautiful, she looked much more pleasant than before.

However, upon closer inspection, Zhang Yuan noticed traces of disguise on her face.

His heart suddenly understood.

It seemed this older sister feared scaring his mother and deliberately concealed her birthmark.

When he first met Liu Seventh Lady, she didn’t mind at all.

This showed that this female martial artist was much more delicate inside than she appeared.

Mother Zhang was a bit at a loss, "Hello, hello."

Zhang Yuan and Liu Seventh Lady exchanged a smile, and the latter softly said, "Aunt, don’t worry, I will accompany you to Qianjing and ensure your safety along the way."

Mother Zhang gratefully said, "Thank you for your efforts."

Zhang Yuan then introduced Xiang Xiu to Liu Seventh Lady.

Xiang Xiu hurriedly bowed, "This servant greets you, young..."

"Call me sister."

Liu Seventh Lady glanced playfully at Zhang Yuan, then took Xiang Xiu’s slender hand, glanced up and down, and praised, "What a charming sister!"

Xiang Xiu blushed, her lips pursed.

She felt that this sister was very approachable.

After they became familiar, Zhang Yuan instructed Xiang Xiu to take his mother to rest in a room.

"Seventh Lady."

He took out a stack of gold notes from his chest and handed them to Liu Seventh Lady, "Use this money for your journey, don’t be frugal."

They say a family should be frugal at home but lavish on the road, especially since they were going to Yu Yang Prefecture to take Fuji Money Shop’s Treasure Ship, which required buying tickets.

These three tickets would definitely not be a small amount!

Moreover, the expenses in Qianjing would surely be much higher than in the county.

So Zhang Yuan gave Liu Seventh Lady ten gold notes of a hundred taels each, equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

With this money, even if he couldn’t arrive in Qianjing in time, it would be enough for the three of them to live in the Empire for a long time.

Liu Seventh Lady was very surprised, "So much money?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "It’s nothing."

He now had a way to make money, so ten thousand taels of silver was nothing to him.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan had the means, he could retrieve and sell the weapons and armor from that sunken ship.

It could probably be sold for tens of thousands!

Liu Seventh Lady thought for a moment, then calmly accepted, "Alright."

Though she earned quite a bit as a bounty hunter, her earnings were mostly spent on finding her master and her daily training needs, so she really didn’t have much savings.

Anyway, the money was primarily for Zhang Yuan’s mother and Xiang Xiu, so there was no need to refuse.

Zhang Yuan exhaled deeply, "Then I’ll arrange for tomorrow morning’s merchant ship and be back soon."

Zhang Yuan hadn’t mingled at Linhe Sub-Branch for nothing these past two years. Although he spent most of his time immersed in martial arts training, he also learned quite a bit about gang affairs.

With Linhe’s well-developed waterway traffic and many merchant ships coming and going from north to south, it made the county prosperous.

He went to an inn where merchants gathered, and relying on his identity as a Furious Whale Gang’s Incense Master, quickly found a ship owner heading to Yu Yang Prefecture the next day.

He booked an upper-class cabin with the owner.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan didn’t have to worry about anything, as Nanxun Upper Helm hadn’t issued a conscription order yet.

He just needed to stall until Liu Seventh Lady and the others arrived in Yu Yang and boarded the Treasure Ship from Fuji Money Shop.

Then it would be like a fish leaping in a vast sea, or a bird soaring in the high skies!

Zhang Yuan returned home again and had a long talk with Liu Seventh Lady.

They agreed on how they would meet in Qianjing.

And backup plans.

After all, with such a long journey, who knew what unforeseen events might occur.

Thus, whether a problem arose from Zhang Yuan’s end or Liu Seventh Lady’s, everyone needed to be prepared.

The long night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan brought his mother, Liu Seventh Lady, and Xiang Xiu to the pier outside the city.

He successfully saw them off on the merchant ship heading to Yu Yang Prefecture.

At the moment of departure, Mother Zhang’s eyes were brimming with tears, and Xiang Xiu’s eyes were red, full of reluctance.

Zhang Yuan could only steel his heart and turn away from the ship that was about to set sail.

"Zhang Yuan."

In the end, Liu Seventh Lady followed him down and handed him a parcel, "Take care!"

After saying this, the female martial artist turned back to the ship.

Hoo–

Accompanied by the loud sound of a horn, the merchant ship with raised sails slowly left the pier.

Zhang Yuan waved to Liu Seventh Lady standing on the deck.

She gave a bright smile, then covered her face with the veil.

Zhang Yuan watched as the merchant ship disappeared from sight.

Feeling an emptiness in his heart.

"Zhang Yuan?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Zhang Yuan’s spirit was lifted and he turned to see, smiling, "Brother Chen, long time no see!"

The person was indeed Chen Zhize.

Chen Zhize was the one who led Zhang Yuan into the Furious Whale Gang, and they had a good relationship.

They usually met from time to time.

It’s just that since Zhang Yuan’s family moved into Whale Castle, their contact with this Outer Hall Incense Master had lessened.

He hadn’t seen him recently.

Chen Zhize laughed heartily, stepping forward and patting him strongly on the shoulder, "Little brother, you’ve been quite the busy man lately. I wanted to find you for a drink, but feared interrupting your training."

Although he spoke in a teasing tone, there was no mockery, at most a bit of a complaint.

Zhang Yuan smiled wryly, "There’s no helping it, with so many tasks in Battle Hall. If I don’t work hard, I won’t have a place here."

Chen Zhize sighed, "I know."

He, like Zhang Yuan, came from a poor background, had no connections in the Furious Whale Gang, and it was only through his own hard work that he rose to his current position as an Incense Master.

Thus, he deeply understood how difficult it was for Zhang Yuan to stand out in Battle Hall!

"By the way."

Chen Zhize curiously asked, "Who was that just now?"

"That’s my family."

Zhang Yuan answered frankly, "Yesterday a cousin came to take my mother back home for a visit."

Mother Zhang and Xiang Xiu leaving for a day or two could be concealed.

But if it was for a longer time, there needed to be a reasonable explanation.

The scene of him seeing off his mother and Liu Seventh Lady was clearly witnessed by Chen Zhize.

It was just right for an explanation.

"I see."

Chen Zhize neither suspected nor asked further, smiling, "Let’s go to Qingyuan Building tonight. I’ll treat you to a drink, and we won’t leave until we’re drunk!"

"No problem!"

Zhang Yuan readily agreed, "You treat, I’ll pay!"

Chen Zhize laughed heartily, "That’s unacceptable!"

That night, Zhang Yuan accompanied Chen Zhize for a night of drinking at Qingyuan Building.

For the following days, he stayed obediently in Whale Castle practicing martial arts and didn’t take a single step outside.

When neighbors asked about Mother Zhang, Zhang Yuan consistently answered that she had gone back home for a visit.

And on the fourth day after Mother left.

Zhang Yuan was suddenly summoned to the Inner Hall.

The Inner Hall Master, Wan Pu, handed him a letter and said, "Zhang Yuan, this is a conscription order from Nanxun Upper Helm, commanding you to take up a position at Nanxun Sub-Branch!"
