After half a day of travel, the trio finally arrived at the gates of the Deputy City Lord's residence. This was only thanks to Liu Wan'er and Wang Tianlin leading the way; if Ye Qingchen had been left to find it himself, who knows how much time he would have wasted. After all, Northern Barrier City was simply enormous.
Wang Tianlin respectfully handed the Liu Family Commerce Guild's visiting card to the guard at the gate. As the guard went to announce their arrival, Wang Tianlin took the opportunity to shoot Ye Qingchen a smug glance, as if to say, "See how well-connected I am? See how well I've made it here?"
Ye Qingchen paid no mind to Wang Tianlin's smugness, instead chatting idly with Liu Wan'er.
About a quarter-hour later, a portly, large-eared middle-aged man emerged, surrounded by guards, and slowly walked toward the gate.
