Chapter 700: Encounter

"Oh yes, in a few days, a troop of merchants from my Gao family's Chamber of Commerce will be going to Feng Ze Country. If you all don't mind, we can go together. We would have company along the journey," Gao Wentian said eagerly. 

With his position, it was very rare for him to go out with merchants, so it was quite obvious that he wanted to spend some more time with this group. Since young, he had been raised as the next successor of the Gao family, so he was used to seeing people cheating and betraying each other. It was only when he started to spend time with Ling Chuxi and the others that he really felt the warmth and trust between friends. 

"You wouldn't be trying to hire us as your bodyguards, would you?" Lan Xinyu asked half-jokingly. 

"Even if I wanted to, I can't afford it." Gao Wentian smiled in amusement. 

"If you all go, then what about me?" Fu Huayi raised her head and asked in distress.
