"Alright!" Zhou Yan nodded, and then everyone flew towards the small island.
Although the environment here was still beautiful, Zhou Yan had no interest in appreciating any of it.
Soon, they approached the island and reached the shore.
"Wow, is this the town? Why does it look so run-down!" a maid exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss, please say less!" another maid tugged at her, saying.
This town was indeed very poor.
There were only three households here, each with only two to three mu of land, relying on growing some vegetables to barely make a living.
"Hmph, I don't care about these poor remote villages, as long as I serve the young master well!" that maid pouted.
Zhou Yan smiled faintly and said, "Go buy something to eat, I'll go take a look over there!"
"Yes, young master!" the two maids quickly bowed and said. Big Wind Novel
Upon arriving at the town, Zhou Yan looked at its appearance, and a hint of disappointment couldn't help but appear on his face.
The buildings and shops in this town all looked very old, and the people on the street wore very simple clothes; some people even dared not wear any clothes.
How could such a poor town support him, a spoiled young master, and allow him to enjoy wealth and status?
However, he did not regret it!
"Since that's the case, then I will rely on my own hands to create a foundation!" Zhou Yan clenched his fist in secret, thinking to himself.
...
"Esteemed young sir, what would you like to purchase?" As soon as Zhou Yan entered the shop, a young shop assistant greeted him warmly.
"Give me thirty catties of pork, two catties of barley wine, and also, a few roasted chicken wings, then a few plates of roasted chicken legs, and some millet porridge. I want to have a hearty meal!" Zhou Yan said without politeness.
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately ran off to prepare.
Soon, he brought a basin of hot water and poured the boiling pork and barley wine into the basin. Then he picked up chopsticks and stirred, adding new seasonings and ingredients.
Soon, the pork and barley wine in the basin were cooked, and the savory aroma wafted throughout the room.
At this time, a middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, also came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of clear soup and porridge, and smiled, "Esteemed young sir, you want to eat, right? I'll bring it to you!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man placed the porridge in his hand on the table, then walked up to Zhou Yan and said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, boss!"
Zhou Yan nodded slightly, and then took the large bowl of porridge handed over by the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man's surname was Li, and he was Uncle Li. He was the only master in this town and Zhou Yan's steward.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Young master, drink slowly, I'll go rest now!"
After saying that, Uncle Li left.
"Esteemed young sir, my name is Li Chenglin!" Li Chenglin walked to the counter and said to Zhou Yan, who was lowering his head and eating.
"Uncle Li!" Zhou Yan raised his head and greeted Uncle Li.
"You little fellow, you're quite polite!"
Uncle Li chuckled and said.
Afterward, he left, leaving Zhou Yan alone eating breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Yan put away the bowl and got up to walk outside.
Li Chenglin saw Zhou Yan leave, and a sharp glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Zhou Yan came to the outside of the town, scanned around casually, and then came to a nearby dock.
Various kinds of boats were moored at the dock. Zhou Yan found a small boat and boarded it.
"Boatman, take me to Donghai Pier!" Zhou Yan shouted.
"Young master, please follow me!" the boatman quickly said, and then controlled the small boat, slowly sailing towards Donghai Pier.
Zhou Yan sat in the cabin, looking at the scenery outside the window.
It was already early morning.
Not far away, the incredibly huge city could be seen.
Outside the city, many guards were stationed, all staring vigilantly at Zhou Yan's small boat.
Zhou Yan looked at the distant city walls, his brow furrowed.
He knew that the place he was going to this time would be very dangerous, so he had to have someone escort him.
Zhou Yan thought for a long time, and suddenly, a face appeared in his mind. So, he directly shouted to the guards at the dock, "Hey, big brother, come and be a boatman on my small boat! I'll pay you, how about it?"
Hearing this proposal, the guards couldn't help but look at each other. Then, they all looked at Zhou Yan in unison, showing disdain, and shook their heads one after another.
Zhou Yan was stunned. He didn't expect these people to refuse. He then called out a few more times, but it was all to no avail.
"Young master, we don't need your employment. Please leave!" a guard said coldly.
"Young master, if you don't leave, don't blame us for using force!" the other guards also threatened.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan felt a little embarrassed.
"You guys, I kindly invited you, but you're ungrateful. You're too hateful!"
Zhou Yan was angry in his heart. He originally wanted to teach these ungrateful fellows a good lesson, but he also knew that he was not their match at the moment.
Zhou Yan had no choice but to reluctantly walk out of the cabin.
Just then, a figure blocked his path.
Zhou Yan looked up and saw a handsome young man in a blue shirt standing in front of him.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Zhou Yan asked with a frown.
"You are Zhou Yan, right?" the blue-clothed youth asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed tightly.
Who was this blue-clothed youth? He even knew his name?
However, he didn't recognize this youth, so he asked, "So what if I am?"
The blue-clothed youth smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Yan, I advise you to leave quickly, lest you lose your life later!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's brow furrowed even more. His eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Hearing this, the blue-clothed youth couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed very happily, as if something good had happened.
"Zhou Yan, you are truly an idiot!" the blue-clothed youth laughed. "I think you'd be better off going home to wash up and sleep! Do you think your little skill is enough to enter Donghai Pier? Do you think with your strength, you can enter that Donghai Pier? You're too naive, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's eyes sharpened, and his face was instantly covered with frost. He roared angrily, "Who are you?"
The blue-clothed youth laughed and said, "Zhou Yan, you're very lucky to have met me! Let me tell you, my name is Han Haoyu, the second young master of the Han family!"
