Chapter 323 Farewell to Nanyang, Until We Meet Again

Wang Shuang then asked, "So how should we begin the production process?"

The four then discussed the matter in detail in the lobby.

Da Ya was basically explaining the process, while Wang Shuang, Li Yizhi, and Yang Yusi were listening and occasionally interjecting to ask questions about details.

After the conversation, Li Yizhi took some incense back to the military camp to try it out.

The next morning, he arrived at the city lord's mansion in high spirits.

"Lord Wang, it really works! The soldiers all say they slept exceptionally well last night, without being bothered by any mosquitoes!"

Upon seeing Li Yizhi arrive, Wang Shuang immediately instructed his servants to fetch Daya and Yang Yusi, and they finalized the contract.

He then ordered mass production to prioritize supplying military camps and city residents.

As agreed, Yang Yusi provided the silver and took charge of purchasing raw materials and hiring craftsmen.

Da Ya went to the workshop to give instructions on the proportions of ingredients and the drying process.

Wang Shuang allocated manpower to assist in management and set up sales points in the city under the name of the city lord's mansion.

The price of the incense was kept very low by Daya, as she wasn't in it for the purpose of making money.

The reason she thought of making this incense was that she saw Yang Yusi was not good at managing assets and was afraid that he would squander his wealth, so she wanted to find him a stable way to make a living.

Secondly, with the current rampant epidemic, this incense can help people reduce the unbearable itching caused by mosquito bites.

Therefore, she set the price of incense at five pieces for one coin, so that ordinary people could afford it.

Unexpectedly, this incense became so popular.

Almost every household came to buy, and later the supply couldn't meet the demand, so they had to raise the price slightly to control the hoarding and panic buying.

During this period, Yang Yusi often worked alongside Daya and Datou.

As time went by, they developed the habit of frequently visiting the two of them.

This really gave Da Tou a huge headache.

Especially Yang Yusi's overly literary tone.

Every time he heard it, it gave him a headache, but the other person seemed to enjoy it.

That's why I saw Yang Yusi again today.

That's why Da Tou is so helpless.

He wondered to himself, "I really don't know how Sister Da Ya can put up with him!"

Big Head abandoned him and turned to leave.

Yang Yusi followed closely behind, talking to him non-stop.

As soon as she turned the corner and saw Daya, Yang Yusi's eyes lit up.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Miss Yun Jiao!"

Daya was clearly used to it, and simply replied, "Young Master Yang."

Looking at his infatuated expression, Da Tou helplessly raised his hand, slapped his forehead, and shook his head.

But secretly he was thinking: "It seems this guy really has his eye on Sister Daya!"

I just don't know what Sister Da Ya is thinking..."

The incense business in Nanyang City is booming.

Almost everyone, whether in the city or outside, had one. Merchants from neighboring prefectures and counties came to buy it after hearing about it.

Daya and Datou are so busy all day long that they barely have time to catch their breath.

On this day, Qin Lingxing heard the news that the True Spirit King Liu Lingzhen had returned.

She immediately found Daya and Datou.

The three of them discussed it and decided to go to the city lord's mansion to say goodbye to Wang Shuang.

After saying goodbye to Wang Shuang, they headed straight for the North Gate.

Just as the three reached the north gate, they saw someone rushing towards them from afar, calling out loudly from a distance, "Miss Yun Jiao! Miss Yun Jiao!"

When Da Tou saw the newcomer, a helpless expression immediately appeared on his face.

Upon hearing the sound, Da Ya reined in her horse and turned around to see Yang Yusi galloping towards them.

She had no choice but to stop where she was, to see what he wanted.

Yang Yusi ran up to the three of them, panting heavily with her hands on her knees, and could barely speak coherently.

"Yun...Yun Jiao...Ha hoo...Miss Yun Jiao, you...Ha hoo...are you...Ha hoo...leaving...?"

Daya nodded and replied, "Yes, we learned that something has happened in Illusionary Spirit City, so we have to rush back first."

Yang Yusi was still panting heavily: "Then...then could you...hah...take me with you? Hah..."

At this moment, Da Tou interjected, "Brother Yu Si, do you know how to ride a horse?"

“I can ride,” Yang Yusi nodded quickly, then added somewhat hesitantly, “but my horsemanship… isn’t that good.”

Qi Lingxing looked up at him, her tone slightly serious.

"He's not good at riding and can't come with us. We must get back to Phantom Spirit City within a month; we can't afford to waste a single moment."

When Yang Yusi heard that it would only take a month to travel from Nanyang City to Huanling City, his eyes widened instantly.

"How is that possible? This journey should take at least two months, and you only took one month?"

Daya chimed in, "We're different from you."

If you come with us, you probably won't be able to hold on halfway.

"You should stay in Nanyang City. The incense business still needs your supervision!"

Yang Yusi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something: "Then..."

Seeing him hesitate, Daya asked, "Is something the matter?"

Yang Yusi looked at Daya sitting on the horse, her voice trembling slightly.

"After Miss Yun Jiao leaves, will she ever return?"

After a moment's hesitation, Daya replied, "The plague here has been largely brought under control. If there's nothing else, I should stay in Huan..."

She stopped abruptly just as she was about to speak.

Then she shook her head, her tone becoming somewhat ambiguous.

"It's hard to say. We might pass through here again in the future, but we don't know when or how."

The light in Yang Yusi's eyes dimmed, but she still refused to give up: "Is it really... like that?"

Daya replied, "That should be it!"

Qi Lingxing tightened the reins beside him, his tone urging him on with an unquestionable tone.

"Let's not delay any longer; the matter of Phantom City cannot be delayed."

She looked at Yang Yusi and said, "You should go back now."

Daya comforted her, saying, "Just stay in Nanyang City and live peacefully. I have entrusted the city lord to take good care of you."

Chess Spirit turned his horse around and called out, "Let's go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the horse beneath her reared up and galloped forward.

Da Tou also offered a word of comfort to Yang Yusi.

"Brother Yu Si, take care. If we have the chance to visit Nanyang City again in the future, we will definitely pay you a visit!"

Daya took one last look at him, clasped her hands in farewell, and said goodbye.

"Young Master Yang, farewell, until we meet again!"

Before Yang Yusi could respond, she and Da Tou turned their horses around and chased after them in the direction Qi Lingxing had gone.

The sound of horses' hooves faded into the distance, and the dust they kicked up slowly settled.

Yang Yusi reached out her hand as if trying to grab something.

He managed to squeeze out a soft word: "Lin..."

But the three riders had long since turned into black dots in the distance, and only the sound of their hooves fading into the distance remained in the wind; his unfinished words could no longer be heard.

He stood there, his outstretched hand frozen in mid-air, until the black dot completely disappeared at the end of the road, before slowly lowering it.

The wind in Nanyang City swept fallen leaves past his feet as he gazed at the empty North Gate.

Suddenly, I felt that the sunlight at the city gate was much cooler than usual.
