Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 34.2: Expansion of Buildings

When Meng Jintang came to visit her junior today, she entered through the front gate. Shortly after taking her seat, Ma Yangqi, being an experienced figure in the martial world, conscientiously came forward to seek guidance from the disciples of the Hanshan Sect.

He knew well that in the martial world, if he were to wait for others to come and invite him, no matter how obedient he appeared, it would still be considered beneath his dignity.

Before Ma Yangqi entered, Meng Jintang had just handed her Dragon Spring Sword to Chen Shen. To avoid the unsettling sight of drawing a large sword from her sleeve, she had specifically hung the weapon outside her clothing before entering the town.

However, Chen Shen was dressed in a scholar's attire, which didn't quite match the style of a longsword. Ultimately, following Meng Jintang's suggestion, they decided to place the sword in the woodshed.

If there was a need for practice, they could easily retrieve it. In the meantime, it could also serve as a backup for activities like chopping wood.

Ma Yangqi obediently sought Uncle Zhao's permission to enter and only proceeded with great caution after receiving it.

He had previously written to the head of the White Horse Escort Agency, mentioning Meng Jintang's situation. The response he received emphasized the importance of building a good relationship.

The remote location of Ye Zhou held significant wealth in the form of herbs, but it was surrounded by the Nanjia Fort to the north and the Green Moth Palace to the south.

Outsiders couldn't easily intervene in local affairs. Therefore, daily activities needed to be handled with extreme care and caution.

Upon their reunion, Ma Yangqi greeted Meng Jintang first. The young lady from the Hanshan Sect was also polite, exchanging a few pleasantries and inviting him to take a seat for tea. She then inquired about the Tower of a Thousand Treasures and its affairs.

Ma Yangqi thought to himself that the sudden question about the Tower of a Thousand Treasures was probably at the behest of the sect leader.

He smiled and said, "May I venture a guess, Miss? Are you perhaps interested in engaging in some herbal trade with the people from the Tower of a Thousand Treasures?"

Meng Jintang smiled and said, "You're close, but it's not raw herbs; it's finished products."

She retrieved a jade box from her pouch, which contained well-packaged samples, with the most important one being the agarwood elixir in a glass bottle.

She continued, "If it's convenient, Head Escort Ma, please take this box and let them have a look. See if the medicines from the Hanshan Sect can catch the attention of the Tower of a Thousand Treasures."

Ma Yangqi received the box with both hands, feeling somewhat relieved. Since the other party had entrusted him with a task, according to the rules of the martial world, as long as they didn't transgress again, the past matters would be considered settled and not brought up.

He thought to himself that even if it meant using his past reputation, he must ensure that the people at the Tower of a Thousand Treasures accepted the goods. If this young lady was not satisfied with the purchasing price, he could always make some personal adjustments to the offer.

Ma Yangqi accepted the jade box, realizing that the senior and junior had much to discuss after several days without meeting. He made an excuse about matters at the escort agency and prepared to take his leave.

Appreciating Ma Yangqi's understanding, Meng Jintang couldn't help but smile and leaned back in her chair, saying, "Here are a bottle of Jade Pivot Pills for detoxification and a bottle of Revitalizing Pills for healing. Please accept them, Head Escort Ma. This way, if you encounter any wounded heroes on your travels, you'll be well-equipped to provide timely assistance."

While the medicines were intended for Ma Yangqi's personal use, the expressed reason for giving them was to enable him to assist other martial artists.

Ma Yangqi understood that this young lady could turn ruthless in the blink of an eye, but her polite and courteous manner as she spoke had a soothing effect.

The lingering dissatisfaction about serving a younger person when he was older slowly dissipated. He accepted the medicines, bowed deeply, and then exited the hall.

[System: [White Horse Escort Agency (Ye Zhou)] Monthly profit contribution increased by 0.5%.]

[System: Successfully gained 10 points of sect reputation. Friendliness in Helu Town increased by 1 point.]

Meng Jintang was puzzled.

‘A single kind word can bring such significant benefits... So the feelings of people in the martial world can change like the wind?’

Meng Jintang adjusted her thoughts and thought that the only reasonable explanation might be that Ma Yangqi was particularly eager to gain her favor by attaching himself to her, so he seized every opportunity to offer benefits.
