pecially after remembering the effect of the arcane patterns, Lei Dong's eyes finally revealed a trace of fear as he said, "What exactly are you"Ginger Yun Mian said expressionlessly, "I am Meng Guan,...Recognizing the butler's identity, Jiang Yun took another deep look at Tie Gang, who already had a happy expression on his face and visibly relaxed. At that moment, Jiang Yun suddenly understood something.

The Tie family possesses the secret recipe for brewing, and logically, the most profitable way would be to open their own wine shop and sell their liquor.

Although opening a restaurant requires some initial investment, the Tie family has at least a hundred members. With careful control of expenses, they should be able to afford it.

As long as the restaurant is open and there's a steady supply of alcohol, it won't take long to recoup the investment and then start making a profit.

Such a simple matter, I believe that with so many people in the Tie family, they wouldn't be unable to figure it out.

Ke Tie's family, however, chose not to open a wine house themselves. Instead, they simply supplied alcohol to the city's existing wine houses, allowing them to sell it and make a profit. This way, their income was effectively halved.

There must be a reason for this.

But now, the head of the Tie family clearly has several years left to live, his own son Tie Gang can't wait any longer, and even resorts to poisoning his father in order to make him die sooner.

At this moment, the innkeeper came to them again, accusing Jiang Yun of having no right to dispute the Tie family's brewing secret recipe as an outsider.

Compared to Ginger Cloud, isn't this steward just as much an outsider

What gives you the right to run into the Tie family's affairs and point fingers

In the blink of an eye, Ginger Cloud's mind raced through so many thoughts.

Although he didn't quite understand the situation of this world yet, with his intelligence, he could already vaguely guess some clues.

At this time, Tie Gang was all smiles and strode out, saying to the elderly steward, "Master Tian, what brings you to our humble abode"

Tie Yuan then wore a wry smile and whispered to Jiang Yun, "Ancient Master, this Tian Lin is the manager of the Liu Xian Lou in the city."

"And the Liu Xian Lou is owned by the city lord, and has a partnership with our Tie family."

"This Master Tian is a man of high status, and his eyes are above everyone else. Naturally, his words might come across as harsh. I hope Young Master Gu doesn't take it to heart. Allow me to apologize on his behalf!"

After finishing, Tie Yuan also hurriedly turned around and went out to greet them.

After hearing Tie Yuan's transmission, coupled with his own previous thoughts, Jiang Yun's understanding of the entire matter had become even clearer.

It's nothing more than the fact that the city lord is no longer satisfied with giving half of the profits from alcohol to the Tie family, so he colluded with Tie Gang and wants to get his hands on the Tie family's brewing secret recipe! After figuring out the whole thing, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity! Back in the Lower Realm, his horizons and concerns were already about vast worlds like the Desolate Domain and Dao Domain, involving the life and death of countless beings.

Later, I entered the Zhentiangu Dao and Lingguyu. I even considered matters concerning a certain lower realm, even the entire Zhutianjiyu.

While something like this, a power struggle between the lord and a small family within an obscure town in the world, seems trivial to me.

Now, however, I find myself unexpectedly caught up in such a trivial matter. For a time, I must confess, it feels rather out of place.

However, Jiang Yun also knew that in this myriad heavens realm, his current self was indeed just a small person, an inconspicuous little character.

If you want to survive and find your parents, you can't think about the vast domain like when you were in the Netherworld. Instead, you need to readjust to these smaller matters and this environment.

Just then, Tian Lin's voice rang out again: "Hey, what are you all kneeling here for"

"Could it be that Old Iron has passed away!"

Of course, what Tian Lin was speaking to were the mother and son of Tie Ru Nan who had just knelt down to thank Jiang Yun and hadn't yet gotten up.

Just that sentence of his was truly venomous.

Tie Yuan's face flushed red, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. However, he didn't dare to attack at all. Instead, he hurriedly said to his wife and daughter: "Go, go, go! This is none of your business, get out of here!"

Tie Ru male reached out and helped his mother to her feet, without a word he walked away.

However, Tianlin still refused to let them go. He pointed at Tie Ruonan and said with a smile, "Ruonan, you've become even more beautiful after all these years!"

Have you set a wedding date yet

My master is thinking about taking on another concubine. I'll bring it up to him these next few days.

"You two are practically childhood sweethearts! If you were to get married, it would be like marrying into our own family!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Ru-nan's face flushed red with anger. He was clearly furious, but he dared not speak out. He could only pretend not to have heard and hurriedly retreated into the crowd with his mother.

Fortunately, Tian Lin didn't continue to pester her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Tie Yuan, the smile on his face vanished instantly, his expression darkened, and he said coldly: "I heard that the Tie family has a master who can increase a person's lifespan. I heard the news and came here specially to see for myself and pay a visit."

“Originally, I was thinking that if it really was a master, no matter what, I would invite them back to the City Lord’s Mansion. But now it seems like they aren’t a master, more like a swindler!”

Although Tian Lin's gaze was fixed on Tie Yuan, his words were clearly directed at Jiang Yun, causing Tie Yuan to hurriedly bow repeatedly towards him and say: "Manager Tian, you misunderstand. This Young Master Gu is someone I invited, he is not a con artist."

And, Old Master Gu didn't say for sure he could save my grandfather.

"But as his sons, how could we bear to see our father depart, even if there was the slightest hope, we wouldn't want to miss it. That's why I specially invited Master Gu here."

"Oh"

Tian Lin raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. His gaze finally settled on Jiang Yun and he said, "If he's not deceiving us, then your meaning is...that I am the deceiver"

"No, no, no!"

Tieteyanyuan waved his hands helplessly, he was caught between a rock and a hard place now. He couldn't afford to offend either Jiangyun or Tianlin.

If he offended Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun left, his father would be finished. But if he offended Tian Lin, then the Iron family's future in the city would be impossible.

"Jiang Yun looked at Tian Lin as well, a slight smile appearing on her lips. "Who else could it be It's actually Mr. Tian!"

"Just now, I saw you outside Liu Xianlou. You were bowing and greeting customers with a smile. It's so different from now that for a moment, I didn't recognize you. Forgive me, forgive me!"

Tian Lin's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes turned to Jiang Yun with two flashes of killing intent. "You surname Gu, don't think that just because this is the Tie family, I wouldn't dare touch you!"

Tian Lin is not only a member of the City Lord's Mansion, but he himself is also a cultivator at the Transcending Heaven Ninth Realm. He really didn't take Jiang Yun seriously at all.

"Old Master, please endure, endure as much as you can!"

At the same time, Tie Yuan's voice echoed again in Jiang Yun's ear, afraid that Jiang Yun would be unable to resist attacking Tian Lin.

In his opinion, if Ginger Cloud made a move, not only would his father be beyond saving, but Ginger Cloud himself would surely be in danger.

Ginger Yun also didn't want to make Tie Yuan too difficult, nodding calmly and saying: "Alright, now I need to save people. Trivial matters, please don't disturb me for the time being!"

As he spoke, Ginger Cloud had already raised his hand to shut the door.

However, Tian Lin spoke again: "Wait a moment, Old Master Tie is a highly respected figure in Ya Yue City. As the manager of the City Lord's Mansion, I naturally have the responsibility to protect his safety."

"You are a person of unknown origins. Even if someone from the Tie family was deceived by you and believed your words, I do not!"

Either you reveal your identity first and allow me to verify it, or you demonstrate your allegiance by healing Old Man Tie right here in front of us.

"Otherwise, you better get lost!"

Jiang Yun's guess was right. Tie Gang and the people from the City Lord's Mansion had colluded secretly. This Tian Lin was also invited by Tie Gang just now, with the purpose of stopping Jiang Yun from saving Tie Chengyun!r of Wujiang City, the Wu clan, resides. This is the very territory of the Wu clan that Jiang Mingyuan warned Jiang Yun not to enter.The entire Wu clan numbered about ten thousand people, almost all o...
