Chapter 144 Inquire About the Ferry at the Hundred Treasures House
Jiang Ping opened the door and stretched.
He breathed in the morning air.
Then he planned to wake up the little girls and bring them to school.
Before Jiang Ping reached the little girls’ room, he saw them squatting under the eaves, holding large porcelain cups.
They lined up and washed up obediently.
Jiang Ping waved at the little girls.
“Why are you girls up so early? Daddy was just about to wake you up.” The little girls heard their father’s voice and looked up at Jiang Ping weakly. Well, looking at their current state, they were still half awake.
Li Sushang had just finished making the beds in the little girls’ rooms.
“How could we wait for you. They’re going to be late. Can’t you see what time it is now?”
Jiang Ping raised his head and looked at the glaring sun in the sky.
He smiled awkwardly.
“Hehe, it’s quite late. I was cultivating too late last night and didn’t pay attention to the time.”
Li Sushang rolled her eyes at Jiang Ping and then took out the quilt from the little girls’ room to bask in the sun.
Jiang Ping walked to the eaves.
“Auntie will send you to school later. After school, daddy has something important to announce.” The three little girls were curious, and the drowsiness on their faces was gone.
Wan’er stopped brushing her teeth.
“What important thing?”
Jiang Ping flicked Wan’er’s forehead with his finger. “I said I’ll announce it when I come back tonight.”
Yan’er asked Jiang Ping.
“Auntie will send us to school? Where’s Uncle Qiu?”
Jiang Ping said to the little girls with a smile.
“Uncle Qiu and Old Uncle Lei are busy cultivating right now. We probably won’t be able to see them today.” “Cultivating!”
“Wan’er wants to cultivate too. I don’t want to go to school!”
“Liu’er too!”
Jiang Ping gave these two mischievous kids who disliked going to school a knock on their heads.
“You two should learn more from Yan’er. She doesn’t complain about not wanting to go to school like the two of you.”
Yan’er, who was being praised, looked at her sisters on her left and right and secretly smiled.
Jiang Ping stood up.
“All of you have to be good today. If daddy isn’t home after you girls have returned from school, you can play at home by yourselves.” Apart from Yan’er, the other two nodded their heads listlessly.
Jiang Ping then walked out of the door.
Last night, he looked at the map and found that Fengdu City was probably a continent away from where he was now.
Therefore, if he wanted to move his family there, he would definitely need to use a ferry.
This ferry was not a ferry that ordinary people knew about but was specially provided for cultivators.
The ferry was one of the faster means of transportation.
Although it was called a boat, it was actually a behemoth. The number of people it could carry was not something an ordinary wooden boat could compare to.
Some swam in the water, and some flew in the sky.
These behemoths were all domesticated by some immortal sects. Not only were they gentle, but they could also travel long distances.
However, the immortal sects that domesticated these behemoths made a lot of money because of the characteristics of the ferries.
For example, the Tianyuan Sect that Jiang Ping killed had a small ferryboat.
Although the ferry could only carry two thousand pounds of goods and people, it was also the main source of the Tianyuan Sect’s economy.
Jiang Ping was going out this time to inquire about the ferry.
He knew nothing about the sects near Fusheng City, and Lei Jingyun was in seclusion. Therefore, he wanted to go to the Hundred Treasures House to ask Fei Cai.
In the Hundred Treasures House, Fei Cai was talking to a woman in purple.
“You didn’t tell her?”
“No, I didn’t dare.” “What’s there to be afraid of liking someone? Listen to me.”
“But…”
This woman in purple was Zi Yue.
Early this morning, Zi Yue came to the Hundred Treasures House.
She said that she hadn’t slept all night and wanted to come to Fei Cai to talk to her. After talking about her difficult problem, Fei Cai wasn’t surprised.
After listening to Zi Yue’s recount, this was Fei Cai’s first sentence.
“I’m not surprised because anyone with a discerning eye can see it.”
Zi Yue lowered her head and sighed.
She answered Fei Cai’s previous question.
“But… we’re both women.” After saying this, Zi Yue started to sob. Although Fei Cai and Zi Yue would always argue with each other, the two of them did not have any deep enmity, and they had quite a good impression of each other.
Seeing her sister feeling so sad, Fei Cai felt her heart aching a little.
She reached out and touched Zi Yue’s cheek.
She was planning in her heart, thinking about how to comfort the woman in front of her.
The gatekeeper, Old Zhao, suddenly walked in. He said to Fei Cai with a smile on his face
“Director, guess who is here.”
Seeing someone come in, Zi Yue hurriedly wiped her tears.
She pretended to be fine, but her head was still lowered, not daring to let anyone see. Fei Cai was a little angry, and she scolded.
“No one can come in without knocking.”
The gatekeeper only told Fei Cai about Jiang Ping’s arrival.
Fei Cai was no longer angry.
She quickly asked.
“Then where is Mr. Jiang? Where is he?”
The gatekeeper reached out his hand and pointed outside.
“I’ve brought him to the living room. He’s waiting for you.” Fei Cai tidied her clothes, stood up, and was about to go to the living room.
When she saw Zi Yue from the corner of her eyes, she remembered that Zi Yue was still there.
“Sister Yue’er, why don’t you come with me?”
Zi Yue tried her best to make her voice sound less like she had cried before, and she spat out a few words forcefully. “You go first, I’ll be there later.”
Fei Cai nodded, and then she walked quickly to the living room.
Jiang Ping didn’t just sit there.
Sometimes he walked back and forth around the table, and sometimes he looked at the exquisite items on the wall shelves. When the sound of footsteps came.
Jiang Ping looked towards the door of the reception room. He saw Fei Cai, who was wearing a green body sculpting cheongsam, walk in with a smile on her face.
Fei Cai let Jiang Ping take a seat before she sat down.
“What is the purpose of Mr. Jiang’s visit this time?”
“If it’s because of the stone amber, that servant from our Hundred Treasures House said everything he could on that day.”
“Mr. Jiang, you won’t be able to get anything more out of him.”
Jiang Ping smiled and said.
“It’s not because of that. I’m here to ask Director Fei Cai for a favor.”
“Of course, I’ll pay you normally.”
Fei Cai immediately sat up straight when she heard that there was money to be made.
“I wonder what’s the matter?”
“If our Hundred Treasures House can help, we definitely won’t refuse.”
Jiang Ping said.
“I need Miss Fei Cai to contact a ferry for me.”
“And plan the route to Fengdu City.”
Fei Cai was a little puzzled.
“This ferry matter is not difficult to resolve.”
“But I am curious.”
“Mr. Jiang, why are you going to Fengdu City?”
Jiang Ping laughed and said.
“After staying in Fusheng City for a long time, I become a little bored and feel like moving.”
At this time, Zi Yue had just calmed herself, walked to the living room door, and just heard what Jiang Ping said about moving.
