215 Introducing the Capital
“Young Master, this is the most famous pharmacy within the Xiumeng Empire. Although it is not as prosperous as the one within Cloudsoar City, it is in the top five of the most outstanding places to buy and sell herbs on the entire continent of Tiandi.”
Huo Yu was walking behind Luo Xiao and with Ye Feng and Ye Chao by his side as he slowly began to introduce some of the more famous stores to his new liege.
The evening before, Ye Chao and Ye Feng had brought him to Gu Xingyu, the patriarch of the Gu family, to request that he was transferred to Luo Xiao’s side.
At first, Huo Yu had been somewhat worried about the impression Patriarch Gu would have when he realized that he had already sought out a new master, but when he noticed the excited eyes of Gu Xingyu, he seemed to understand that he might have misunderstood something quite badly. It was as if he could not wait to send everything to Luo Xiao, as long as the young man was interested in it.
This realization made Huo Yu breathe a sigh of relief. He had been very worried about Gu Xingyu blaming him for being ungrateful, however, now, he was repeatedly asked to look after Gu Tianyu and assist him in anything he asked for. He was even told that Gu Tianyu was his new master, so no matter what he asked for, even if it was something that could be misunderstood or questioned as betrayal, then he, Huo Yu, had to remain loyal and steadfast.
When those words had been said, Huo Yu was fully aware of the severity of the situation, and he also finally understood that Luo Xiao was much more important than first assumed.
“Do they sell pills?” Luo Xiao’s gentle voice dragged Huo Yu from his complicated thoughts, and it took some time for him to remember that they were currently talking about one of the most prosperous stores on the continent.
Huo Yu looked at the young man in front of him and felt a little surreal. Even so, he quickly gathered his thoughts and politely nodded his head.
“Yes, Young Master, they sell many different versions of pills, but those that can be purchased without prior appointment or outside of the auctions are usually basic pills, or some that are simple to refine.”
.....
Luo Xiao nodded his head to show that he understood, but he did not show any intention of entering the store but continued down the roads.
Huo Yu did not comment on his decision but slowly followed his pace without being too close, but still close enough to protect him and introduce the surrounding stores and a few important figures in the city that appeared on the streets.
While he was explaining, he could not help but glance at Luo Xiao from the corner of his eye from time to time. After getting along with him for some time, he still did not understand what kind of person he really was.
Luo Xiao was an enigma in his eyes. The young man seemed very gentle and refined. He resembled a gentleman made from the purest jade. He seemed to be above the mundane world and untainted by the filth in the world, however, from time to time, he seemed to sense a deep abyss within the young and innocent eyes that made him consider whether or not the gentleman-like demeanor was merely a mask used to deal with others.
Although he was confused, Huo Yu was not going to ask any questions that he was not entitled to ask. To him, it did not matter what kind of person he really was, as long as he was not hostile towards the Gu family and did not make him wantonly kill innocent people.
In fact, Huo Yu was overly sensitive. It was true that Luo Xiao was no longer a spotless piece of white paper, but he was not deep-minded or scheming either. Luo Xiao had always been very straightforward, and his upbringing had made him seem more like a gentle scholar than a fierce warrior.
Even now, when his horizons were expanding and his determination was increasing, his personality was still gentle and warm. He never wished to harm anyone innocent, but, on the other hand, he was no longer willing to be pushed around by others either.
“Young Master, this is the finest restaurant in the capital city. The building is not large, but it is the original building that was constructed by the ancestors of the proprietor, and it has been passed down generation after generation.
“Although the store itself is small, the family has never considered expanding, but instead started a system of having to book the tables in advance, and now an appointment at this restaurant has become a symbol of status. Even a meal in the lobby among the crowd is something to envy.”
Huo Yu was doing his utmost to describe the various stores they came across, and his introductions were all very neutral and seen from an outsider’s point of view. Even the people introduced were also objectively described without any personal opinions, making Luo Xiao nod his head in approval. It was good to have a smart subordinate.
Although Luo Xiao was pleased with Huo Yu, he was not stupid enough to unconditionally believe in this young man. Although he had shown a lot of faith and trust, he was doing so, because he knew that Ye Chao and Ye Feng would never allow this young man to pose any threat to them, and thus he was able to become a benevolent and humane master.
