At dusk, the sky was overcast like lead.

There was a depressing aura in the sky above Shangzhou City.

A carriage slowly drove into Shangzhou City.

And the carriage fell like a drop of water into the raging sea, and there would be no waves.

Shangzhou City has people coming and going every day.

An ordinary carriage did not attract much attention.

But the young man on the carriage was full of thoughts, and his chest seemed to stir up a turbulent wave.

The gentle figure of the green coat came to his mind, and a pair of eyes as wise as black grapes were embedded in his beautiful face.

The gentle figure like the eldest sister next door became clearer and clearer in Ding Xiaoyi's mind.

It was a vow I made when I was young,

And when I returned to Shangzhou again today, I felt like a cowardly countryman.

Ding Xiaoyi drove the carriage to an inn,

He took Princess Dayong and the little maid into the inn, and he asked for a room for himself.

"Sister Shang, I'm back, are you okay?"

Ding Xiaoyi stood in front of the inn window, and he couldn't help muttering.

And his gaze looked straight ahead through the window.

Shangzhou City is very large, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Everywhere you can see the towering buildings standing in the streets of Shangzhou City.

Everyone knows that there are four major families in Shangzhou City.

They are Jiang, Ji, Fu and Shang, and the Bai family has become the fifth largest family.

Not only because the Bai family took the big ship of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, but because the Bai family produced a great genius.

And that genius was Bai Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Bai family.

Bai Shaoheng worshiped the Imperial Capital Sword Pavilion and became a disciple of the First Sword Sect of Dayong.

Moreover, Bai Shaoheng had just passed the age of the weak crown and had already broken through to the super heavenly destiny realm, and his cultivation talent was visible to the demon.

The Bai family's shares in the Four Seas Commercial Bank are also becoming more and more major, and it seems that they are going to encroach on the entire Four Seas Commercial Bank.

Ding Xiaoyi naturally knows this,

He also knew that Shang Tianqi, the old owner of the merchant, seemed to be terminally ill, and he didn't know how long he would live.

And the business is declining day by day,

Even the only male merchant of the business, Shang Hongxing, seems to have been framed and wants to enter the Fu family.

All this seems to be very unfavorable to the merchants, and the merchants will be vaguely squeezed out of the four major families.

And it was the Bai family who replaced it, because the Bai family already had the strength to compete with the merchants.

Coupled with the marriage between the merchant and the Bai family,

The merchant will be completely swallowed up by the Bai family, and all this seems to be unstoppable.

The daughter of the businessman is a generation of business women, and the Four Seas Commercial Bank has grown stronger and stronger under her management.

It's just that all this is for the Bai family to make a wedding dress, because Shang Rongrong, the daughter of the merchant family, is about to marry into the Bai family.

Ding Xiaoyi looked out the window but was stunned,

Everything is already a thing.

When he was training in Shangzhou, the business was thriving.

Under the management of Shang Rongrong, Sihai Commercial Bank is also operating like a fish in water.

It's just a few years later, but the merchant has been reduced to the arrangement of the four major families in Shangzhou.

And the Four Seas Commercial Bank seems to be about to become the Bai family's bag.

Shang Rongrong's generation of businessmen will eventually marry Bai Shaotang as a wife.

Ding Xiaoyi's eyes shot a cold glow.

Since there is no one to help the merchant, let him pick up this burden.

Shang Rongrong is not just an impulse when his first love opens, but also a good memory in his heart.

Although he knew that Shang Rongrong at that time thought that his words were just a joke.

But Ding Xiaoyi knows that this agreement has always been placed in the deepest part of his heart.

I don't know if she still remembers that agreement,

A touch of soft color appeared on Ding Xiaoyi's frosty face, like the melting of ice and snow.

Qingqing Zijin, there are women such as Rong,

At sunset,

The girl's smile like a clear spring left an indelible mark on the young man's heart.

And it was the smile like a clear spring that made the young man's heart inexplicably throb.

"Sister Shang, when I grow up, it's good for you to marry me",

The young man's cheeks showed small dimples, and his smile was incomparably clear and bright.

And the girl in green clothes was slightly stunned,

Immediately, the girl picked up the clear and bright smile and said, "That Ding Xiaoyi will grow up quickly."

subsequently

The girl turned and walked away.

"Remember, when I grow up, you must marry me",

The smile on the young man's face grew even stronger, and he waved his hand and whispered to the back of the green clothes.

And the back of the green clothes is like an imprint, eternally engraved in Ding Xiaoyi's heart.

It was the softest place in his heart, and that place could only be accommodated by the figure in green clothes.

Everything is already wrong,

I don't know how Shang Rongrong is, is she tired?

She single-handedly supported the entire Four Seas Commercial Bank,

And although she is a daughter, she is not weaker than any man in this world.

Ding Xiaoyi's thoughts flew to a few years ago,

At that time, his own cultivation was still very weak, so weak that even a non-mainstream martial cultivator could be bullied at will.

When he came to Shangzhou to practice, he experienced all kinds of battles.

And he thought that his heart had been overwhelmed by the endless fighting.

He thought his heart was like an iron of ice.

But that touch of green shadow was like spring water, which stimulated the last touch of softness in his heart.

At that time, I didn't know that I actually had no heart, and I only knew about endless killing.

And that touch of green shadow seemed to have become the last softness in his heart.

Shang Rongrong's gentle and wise figure completely melted into Ding Xiaoyi's heart.

What if he didn't have a heart, he only knew that the green shadow gave him the last warmth when he was on the verge of collapse.

Ding Xiaoyi let out a long breath of turbidity.

He still remembered the oath, but he didn't know if the girl in Tsing Yi still remembered it. Shang Rongrong is five or six years old, Ding Xiaoyi is five or six years old,

At that time, Shang Rongrong had already supported the Four Seas Commercial Bank.

At that time, the Bai family was just a declining family attached to the Four Seas Commercial Bank.

Shangzhou, I'm coming,

Sister Shang, I'm here.

After Ding Xiaoyi stabilized his nervous mood,

He made a low moaning call to himself and to Shang Rongrong.

Hastily ate dinner,

Ding Xiaoyi arranged a simple sword formation in Princess Dayong's room, and he told the pair of master and servant to rest early.

Then he swept out of the inn and took advantage of the darkness of the night to shoot in the direction of the merchants.

business

Although the lights were bright, there was a little less life.

Merchants are also shrouded in a state of melancholy.

Shang Tianqi, the old son of the merchant, was suffering from a stubborn illness and was already terminally ill.

Because he didn't get the relics of Futu Temple, the old owner of the merchant family could only wait quietly for death.

And the business is not prosperous,

If it weren't for Shang Rongrong alone to prop up the Four Seas Commercial Bank, the merchants would have been driven out of the ranks of the four major families.

Ding Xiaoyi's figure landed steadily in the courtyard of the merchant.

Although it is still a familiar courtyard layout, the atmosphere in this courtyard is extremely unfamiliar.

The atmosphere of laughter and laughter at the beginning has long since disappeared, but the atmosphere at the moment is melancholy.

He looked around,

There are also some well-cultivated guards in the courtyard of the merchants, who are faithfully guarding their posts.

And for a master like Ding Xiaoyi, such a sentry is like a fictitious post.

"Well, the hell it's starting to get cold, why is it so cold so early this year?"

Dark

The two guards rubbed their hands together, their mouths pursed, and then complained.

"Alas, the world is impermanent, and we are in the middle of the day, but now we are being attacked by other families."

The other guard was also wistful, and the two guards chatted as they patrolled.

Ding Xiaoyi turned into a wisp of wind and swept over the heads of these two people.

He's fast,

The two guards didn't react, only to feel a cold wind blowing overhead.

Passing over the head of a patrolling guard,

He turned into a wisp of breeze and shuttled through the merchant's courtyard, and he headed towards the depths of the courtyard.

Shang Tianqi, the old owner of the merchant, was in the depths of the merchant's courtyard.

It was a humble house,

Ding Xiaoyi's figure turned into a black shadow and swept up the towering tree next to the house.

He blocked out all his breath, and he pressed his whole body against the branch.

His gaze fell on the humble house,

The old owner of the merchant still lives a simple life as always.

A figure came,

When Ding Xiaoyi saw that figure, his eyes were slightly fixed.

He saw the familiar back, and his heart began to flutter.
