After receiving Ye Liuyun’s affirmative reply, Dong Tianyu showed an incredulous expression and said in a very surprised tone, "Has Pengcheng gone mad, or have we here come up with something that Pengcheng is envious of, otherwise why would Pengcheng spend a fortune to open this road?"

"I don’t know either, but isn’t it a good thing if Pengcheng is willing to build this road? All we have to do is wait."

"Aren’t we also building the road towards Pengcheng from our side?"

"That’s unclear, but if Pengcheng really starts the construction, I guess our side will take action too. At that time, we just need to wait for the notification. Besides, the construction of the road is not something for us to worry about."

After hearing what Ye Liuyun said, Dong Tianyu thought about it and realized that the other party made a valid point. Suddenly remembering the transaction with Zyaire, he said to Ye Liuyun, "Do you still have any strength-enhancing nutritional supplements? How many left? If not much, just give them all to me."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun initially felt a bit strange, but then remembered the information Dong Tianyu had shared: Awakeners used strength-enhancing nutritional supplements the same way Martial Artists did. With this realization, Ye Liuyun immediately understood.

However, with materials like those from the Bug Nest continuously emerging, there wasn’t any point in hoarding them. If it weren’t for the established contact with Kyoto and the fixed flight schedules, the price of nutritional supplements in Pengcheng could have plummeted to the same as cabbages.

"How many are you planning to get?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"At least fifty bottles, the more, the better."

When Dong Tianyu mentioned the quantity, Ye Liuyun did not feel too surprised. After all, compared to someone like Zyaire who would see effects from just one bottle, the use of nutritional supplements in Pengcheng was calculated by a course of treatment, and even the enhanced nutritional supplements required several bottles to achieve the maximum effect.

So, the fifty bottles Dong Tianyu mentioned weren’t a particularly large amount. You should know that transactions with Kyoto usually counted by the box, and each box contained hundreds of bottles.

However, trade between Saxon County and Pengcheng has been disrupted, so Ye Liuyun only had some inventory left and not much at that, because the demand for nutritional supplements in Saxon County was not that high before the disruption.

It wasn’t that no one in Saxon County wanted to buy, but those who needed had already bought them. The rest who hadn’t bought were either too old to need them or too young, not yet at the age for using the supplements.

Nobody expected the trade route to suddenly close. However, the camp’s need for nutritional supplements wasn’t large either, and the Officials also had a stockpile, so Ye Liuyun still had some left.

It’s important to clarify here, the previous council model was abandoned because communication with Pengcheng was restored, and an Officials system was directly established. Positions were reconfirmed, but the overall situation remained about the same as before, with the military and administration separately managed. So even with the reform, there wasn’t any significant impact.

"I don’t have much stock of the supplements left, only a bit over twenty bottles of the regular nutritional supplements and a bit more than ten bottles of the enhanced ones.

But if you’re not in a hurry, once the road to Pengcheng is open, no joke, even if you want three to five hundred bottles, I could gather them for you in a short time."

After hearing what Ye Liuyun said, Dong Tianyu, while capable of flying directly to Pengcheng with Sword Flight, thought about it and chose not to bypass Ye Liuyun as a middleman. After all, Zyaire needed some time to gather the unusual items, and the trade wasn’t urgent.

Seeing that Dong Tianyu didn’t say much else, Ye Liuyun understood that Dong Tianyu wasn’t in a rush for the items, so he changed the subject directly, "Yara is in Pengcheng, and I guess she’ll probably come with the vanguard this time."

Hearing that Yara was coming, Dong Tianyu, with a puzzled look on his face, asked Ye Liuyun, "What is he coming for? Does he have something to do with you?"

Ye Liuyun shrugged, "I’m not sure either. He’s been in Pengcheng for a while without coming over. He’s taking advantage of this road construction as an opportunity to come and look for both of us."

"Forget it, let him come. Once he’s on our turf, we have nothing to fear.

By the way, that female swindler you’ve been keeping an eye on, what’s her name, something-hui?"

Seeing that Dong Tianyu was talking for ages without mentioning a name, Ye Liuyun interjected and supplied, "Alexandria."

"Right, that Alexandria, what’s her situation now?"

"There’s been some progress. Although she’s hidden herself well, I managed to trace the vine to find one of her accomplices.

However, I feel she doesn’t just have one accomplice, so I haven’t made a move yet. I want to wait and see, to see if I can catch them all in one swoop when they act."

"Fine, that’s up to you, but don’t screw up. She’s a sly one, and this time, don’t let her escape."

"Rest assured, if the council hadn’t been dissolved and the Officials hadn’t been re-established, I would have found an opportunity to nab her already.

You have no idea, taking advantage of the Officials’ reorganization, she even managed to snag the position of deputy head of the logistics department. You should know that position is hard to keep without certain connections.

So after I learned about this, I didn’t investigate her, but instead looked into her connections.

Had I not looked into it, I wouldn’t have realized – she’s a true genius. Did you know? She’s the best at bluffing I’ve ever encountered. I asked several people, and they all gave completely different names for her backers.

If I didn’t have a way to converse with these so-called backers and ask them clearly, I would have been fooled just like everyone else."

Hearing Ye Liuyun speak this way, Dong Tianyu showed a surprised expression and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is she really that impressive?"

"Of course, you have no idea. When I first figured this out, I had a lot of respect for her actions. If it weren’t for the restructuring of the Officials, and she hadn’t landed a deputy position, I might have just abducted her."

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Dong Tianyu added fuel to the fire and said, "It’s not too late even now. If you really want to make a move, there’s still a chance."

To Dong Tianyu’s suggestion, Ye Liuyun did not agree, but said with a smile, "It’s true that I could make a move now, but since she’s already gone this far, I want to see how much further she can go?

I’ve got her firmly in my sights anyway, so I plan to catch her at the moment her plan succeeds. I’m actually very curious to see what kind of expression will be on her face then."

"You’re truly twisted, but let me remind you, in most novels, the villains think just like you do now, feeling they’ve got everything under control. But when it comes time to act, all sorts of unexpected things tend to happen."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun hummed twice, then took out a transparent glass bottle from his waist. Dong Tianyu’s eyes were sharp, and he could see there was a small black dot inside the seemingly transparent bottle.

Ye Liuyun spoke proudly, "This bottle contains an egg of the Soul Chasing Worm. I’ve already had the opportunity to let her unknowingly swallow another egg.

So even if we don’t capture her on the spot, as soon as I release the Soul Chasing Worm from the bottle, I’ll be able to find her no matter where she runs to."

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Dong Tianyu expressed some skepticism, because in his understanding, the thing was essentially a tracker, and the stronger a person’s power, the better they understand their own condition.

Not to mention others, if Dong Tianyu ingested something foreign, he might not realize it immediately, but as soon as he began to cultivate, he would definitely notice something odd inside his body. Therefore, he was uncertain about the effectiveness of this tracking method on her.
