"I will report your request to the master truthfully. With the reputation and strength of my Li family in Yan State, it is not difficult to protect you. However, everything still depends on your performance."

There was a faint smile on Liu Chengwu's lips and a suggestive light flashing in his eyes. People could not feel the demeanor of a gentleman in him, but only the cunning and greed of a villain.

"Yueying understands. Yueying dare not disobey the orders of Butler Liu." Nalan Yueying responded in a low voice.

Liu Chengwu nodded and led Nalan Yueying to the small tent of the Shang caravan.

Even when traveling, the Shang family's various behaviors still show that they are different from traditional vendors.

This tent is simple yet sturdy, and the tables, chairs, and beds that can be quickly assembled and disassembled all demonstrate its pragmatism.

Each member of the Shang clan is very powerful and has extraordinary bearing. It would be better to call it a powerful army disguised as a caravan rather than a caravan.

"I'm here to meet Miss Shangjia. Nalan Yueying has been brought here." Liu Chengwu was cheered up. He stood outside the tent curtain, bowed and shouted loudly.

Through the curtain, you can vaguely see the figure inside, and at the same time, a clear and pleasant female voice is heard.

"Let Nalan Yueying come in. As for Manager Liu, you can go back now. After questioning, we will send someone to send Miss Nalan back safely."

Liu Chengwu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he refused without hesitation: "Miss, you don't know that this slave of the Nalan family is vulgar and of low status. How can she be allowed to stay in the same room with you? If it gets out, it will probably damage your reputation. Besides, if this woman offends you, I won't be able to explain to others."

Liu Chengwu would never hand Nalan Yueying over to anyone else, he did not forget Li Changsheng's instructions.

"Manager Liu, do you mean that I will do something bad to Nalan Yueying? Where do you get the courage to disobey my orders?" Miss Shangri-La's words revealed a domineering tone. Liu Chengwu's words were a little sharp and had already angered her.

A smart person should choose to obey and retreat at this moment, otherwise his life may be in danger.

But Liu Chengwu did not flinch. Instead, he took a step forward and stood in front of Nalan Yueying, his expression solemn and firm: "I am indeed not qualified to negotiate with the young lady, but because of this, I need to be more cautious and make sure that this only witness will not have any problems."

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and finally the curtain was lifted, and a merchant lady in a wide-sleeved fairy dress walked out, her face covered with a hazy white veil. Behind her were two fourth-level Gu Masters, staring at Liu Chengwu with eyes as sharp as knives.

"These nobles actually want to kill me." Only at this moment did Nalan Yueying truly realize what her existence meant.

If Liu Chengwu had not held his ground, she would have had no chance of survival once she entered the tent.

"What a good shopkeeper of the Li family! You are more principled than your young master. I underestimated you." Miss Shang's words made Liu Chengwu feel nervous.

Being noticed by such a big shot undoubtedly brings both opportunities and dangers.

Judging from the attitude of the merchant lady, she was obviously not in a hurry to act. Instead, she adopted a cat-playing-with-mouse mentality, waiting for Liu Chengwu to make the wrong choice under pressure.

"It is Liu Chengwu's honor to be favored by the young lady. However, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't disturb the young lady." After Liu Chengwu finished speaking, he prepared to leave with Nalan Yueying.

"I admire you very much. If you are willing to let go of your prejudice and no longer regard the Nalan family as your enemy, then bring this woman to see me." There was a glimmer of fluctuation in Miss Shang's eyes, as if she approved of Liu Chengwu's persistence.

"Excuse me, which lady in this merchant's family are you? When the master asks, I will have an explanation." Liu Chengwu felt uneasy and it was difficult for him to remain calm on the surface, so he simply brought up his master as a demonstration and warning.

"Haha, that's interesting. I'm the second daughter of a merchant family. If you tell your master this, he will understand the seriousness of this matter."

After the second daughter of the Shang family finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Liu Chengwu. She just swept her deep eyes coldly across Nalan Yueying's face, then snorted coldly and returned to the tent with the two masters.

"The second daughter of a merchant family?" Liu Chengwu shuddered and felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

He was lucky to be able to keep his body intact after going against such a person, and he was actually able to survive. This was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Liu Chengwu's voice. He almost half dragged and half dragged Nalan Yueying away, with rapid steps as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him from behind.

Their figures hurriedly passed through the camp, attracting the attention of others, and then they carefully withdrew their gazes.

The other people in the camp had flickering eyes and different thoughts, all of them were secretly trying to figure out the underlying meaning of what the second daughter of the Shang family had just said.

In their speculation, Nalan Yueying's fate seemed to be doomed.

The second daughter of the Shang family will represent the entire team and meet with the leader of the Nalan family in order to break the closed iron curtain situation of the grassland and achieve the purpose of this trip - to open up an important stronghold for the trade route and live up to the trust of the empress.

As soon as he returned to the camp of the Li family caravan, Liu Chengwu broke out in a cold sweat. He grabbed the kettle and drank water in big gulps to suppress his pounding heart.

"Shopkeeper Liu, what did I do wrong to deserve such deep malice? Will you...will you still protect me?" Nalan Yueying's voice was tearful, her eyes were full of resentment and confusion, and she looked at Liu Chengwu helplessly.

"I also didn't expect that the second daughter of the Shang family would be so flexible. She is so arrogant and overbearing."

Liu Chengwu's face was as gloomy as water. The attitude of the second daughter of the Shang family was clear. Her principle of action was only to be practical, and she had forgotten about such illusory things as family reputation and position.

She completely disregarded the caravan members' dignity and ignored their will and needs, as if all the caravan owners should only work for the benefit of her family.

What she pursues is to be the only one in the market, while others can only cheer for her and get some leftovers.

"So, Manager Liu, you can't protect me anymore. Everything you promised before has become empty talk."

A sad smile appeared on Nalan Yueying's face, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

She yearned for the peace of Yan State and was eager to escape from her status as a slave and start a new life in a foreign land.

Thinking about it now, it all seems so ridiculous.

"You stay here first, and don't act rashly. I will ask the master for advice and will do everything I can to keep you safe."

Liu Chengwu took out the sound transmission Gu from his arms and tried his best to calm Nalan Yueying's anxiety. Then he found an empty corner and quickly contacted Li Changsheng.
