Chapter 225: 225 Endless

Even with the support of Long Yan Academy, it was impossible, after all, Long Yan Academy was only the preeminent academy in Anyun Country, and other countries all had academies with similar or greater strength.

In any case, Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan’s words sounded more like the grandiose vows children make while playing house, akin to the solemn promises made between two bare-bottomed kids, merely a punchline to a joke.

At that time, they could never have imagined, that this joke would one day become reality, Nanyan Commerce would become the most dazzling star on the Holy Court Continent, and right now, that very star was on the rise from Heishi City.

Before even setting foot in Nanmu Auction, Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan could already feel the difference.

In just one day’s time, yesterday’s events had spread throughout the surrounding small towns, with many people drawn by its reputation, curious to see what was so extraordinary about Nanmu Auction.

Outside, the previously quiet marketplace suddenly buzzed with activity. Merchants and cultivators traveling between the nearby towns were in ceaseless flow, while they inquired about the location of Nanmu Auction and discussed it in hushed tones with the vendors lining the streets.

These merchants naturally felt a mix of envy and resentment toward the sudden rise of Nanmu Auction.

"Hmph, what’s so great about Nanmu Auction, who knows who’s behind it — a new player disrupting the rules that all the major trade guilds have long agreed on, just throwing money around to drum up business, let’s see how long they can hold up," someone complained bitterly.

"Indeed, they shouldn’t think that just because they’re backed by Long Yan Academy, they can rest easy," another person added with a venomous hope, "they’ve offended the big chambers of commerce, and they’ll surely have to deal with the consequences."

Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan heard many such comments along their way.

"It seems we’ve become the target of public criticism," Mu Nan said with a wry smile.

"Do you think a tiger from the mountains would be afraid of a few sheep?" Mu Hanyan, however, remained unfazed and chuckled, "They’re just clowns prancing on stage. It’s a waste of our energy to give them any thought."

Mu Nan’s eyes lit up, chiding himself for his pettiness. Mu Hanyan was right. Compared to their grand ambitions, what were a few insignificant merchants in Heishi City? Like sheep facing a lion, no matter how much anger, dissatisfaction, or hatred they harbored, what difference could it make?

Huayue’s and Master Qu’s attitudes changed subtly when they saw the confidence brimming on Mu Hanyan’s face. Suddenly, they felt that it might not be as simple as child’s play. But could it really be possible?

Even though they knew the chances of success were slim, at that moment, something deep within them was ignited, their blood heated with a nameless expectation.

That thing, for Mu Nan, who was passionately invested in commerce, was ambition, but for them, it was the perennial heart of a true warrior!

Upon arriving at Nanmu Auction, Mu Nan summoned Housekeeper Sun, and announced the rebranding of Nanmu Auction to Nanyan Commerce, along with Mu Hanyan taking charge of the chamber of commerce.

Seeing Mu Nan willing to give away thirty percent of his hard work, Housekeeper Sun might have grumbled in the past, but now he had no objections at all.

Who was Mu Hanyan? That was the same Star Divination Master that even his mentor had to show extreme deference to, and flatter until even he, as a disciple, felt nauseated. For him to be willing to take charge of Nanyan Commerce, that was an opportunity they could hardly even wish for.

Not only did he have no objections to Mu Nan’s decision, but he was utterly impressed. Such breadth of vision and courage at such a young age, his future achievements were likely to exceed his initial expectations.

"By the way, where is Master Qu?" having settled the important matters, Mu Nan asked Housekeeper Sun.
