Chapter 561 - 561 | The Guest
Sun rose from the east for one more time, and a new day had begun for the Lower Heavens.
Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes groggily and headed to the washroom to freshen up.
Last night, he had chosen to take some rest instead of cultivating in the Cultivation Space.
The main reason being - satisfaction.
His biggest worries were not solved, and he was now moving forward to the next plan - the reason why he wanted the Thunder Valley so much.
One of the reasons was the deeply hidden Spirit Vein - it was found by Wang Yao and his gang of mutton heads in his previous life.
The Spirit Vein was so dense and rich that they didn't need to worry about any financial issues.
'But my condition is already good enough…'
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes.
His goal was something else.
The Spirit Vein was just an extra prize for his goal.
'One week.'
This much was the time Ye Tian Yun had to prepare himself for the Thunder Valley.
And he wasn't planning to go alone.
'Should I ask to include Gao Xuan in this?'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but think.
Gao Xuan was one of those people who were always two steps ahead.
'I am sure he will be curious as to why I needed the Thunder Valley so much…'
'I will meet him tonight once again…'
It was decided then.
-knock! -knock!
Just then, a voice from outside called out after knocking on the door twice.
"Young Master, you have a guest."
"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned and stepped outside, "This early?"
The guard nodded, "Yes. It's the Fourth Young Master of the Gao Clan, Gao Xuan."
"Him?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised.
'I was just thinking of meeting him…'
"Let's go. Is he in the guest room?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Both of them headed for the Guest Hall.
As Ye Tian Yun stepped in, the first thing he noticed was the young man, about two years older than him, was sitting with one leg on the other.
Upon sensing Ye Tian Yun's arrival, the young man turned his head towards the door and smiled, "Young Master Fang Chen, we meet again."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Ah, I see you have been enjoying yourself pretty well. What brought you here, Brother Gao?"
"Well, I do have something important to discuss," Gao Xuan cleared his throat, "I will get to the point without wasting each other's time - I am here to discuss regarding the Thunder Valley."
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "Oh, I wonder what is there to discuss?"
"Well, I know I have no right to ask what you're planning with it, at least for the next ten years," Gao Xuan said, "But I would still ask, why were you so desperate for the Thunder Valley?"
Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin, "Well, there's no need to keep any secrets from you, but before that, why don't you help me out in answering a few questions."
"Hm?" Gao Xuan frowned, "As long as it's not the recipe of burger, you can ask."
Ye Tian Yun chuckled, "Worry not, I have no interest in that. Actually, now that you mention the burgers… are you interested in expanding your business?"
Gao Xuan nodded, "Of course. I don't want to be limited in the Capital City."
"Hm," Ye Tian Yun smiled, "And what is it that's delaying the expansion?"
"Well, first of all," Gao Xuan replied, "It's the security. As tasty as the burger is, it's actually very easy to make. If I create food branches blatantly, I will end up suffering because the recipe might get leaked."
"Hmm, I understand. It will be very bad for your business."
Ye Tian Yun nodded.
'Maybe this is why I never heard Gao Xuan's burger business in my previous life?'
He couldn't help but make a guess.
When he had first tasted the burger, it had been a surprise for him, and he had even thought about how come he never got to know about such a thing in his previous life?
'Hmm, if this is true, then I have the upper hand in this conversation.'
Ye Tian Yun said to Gao Xuan, "So, it's the security that's troubling you?"
"Yes." Gao Xuan nodded, "At least a Peak Core Formation guard is needed to oversee the whole place."
Ye Tian Yun fell in a thought.
If it were Middle Heavens, arranging thousands of Core Formation Guards wouldn't have any trouble, but in the Lower Heavens, Core Formation Guards were very rare.
'But with the Spirit Vien, it shouldn't be a problem.'
Ye Tian Yun raised his head and, staring at Gao Xuan, said, "If you have enough resources, will you be able to hire guards?"
"Yes!" Gao Xuan immediately nodded, "My biggest issue is resources. I can hire some Core formation Realm guards, but they won't be enough."
"Hm," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Well, I can help you in getting the resources. But first, you gotta do your part."
"Oh?" Gao Xuan frowned, "What's that?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Hmm, well, I have a few things to ask. Do you know someone who can make a river?"
"What?" Gao Xuan frowned.
Ye Tian Yun didn't repeat himself, "You heard it correct."
"Hm…" Gao Xuan frowned, "I do know a few clans who can do the construction work."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, I guess that's great. Other than making a river - by which I mean a water supply, I need good architects who can plan streets and the housing business."
"Oh?" Gao Xuan thought for a moment and nodded, "I can get those."
Ye Tian Yun dimpled, "That's good. The next thing… do you know someone who can create transport roads and other related infrastructure?"
Gao Xuan nodded, "I know… but what are you planning to do to?"
"The project is pretty big." Ye Tian Yun replied, "Help me arrange the best-qualified people for this. Don't worry about the cost. And there's one last thing."
Ye Tian Yun glanced at the top of Gao Xuan's head.
'Where is the token of fate when I need it most?'
