Meng Shan

Under a grey-blue sky, the drizzle had just stopped.

The ancient city at the foot of the mountain was shrouded in a light mist.

Da Sheng Yun Zhou, Jade Mountain City.

Pain, a suffocating pain.

Meng Shan, startled awake from his sleep, found his surroundings unfamiliar and strange.

The first thing he saw was a large pear wood bed decorated with light gauze curtains.

The familiar ceiling was gone, and so was the soft Simmons mattress.

"Where is this?"

Meng Shan struggled to move his weak body, his eyes filled with deep confusion and bewilderment.

As waves of intense pain coursed through his body, he subconsciously sought the source of the agony.

Looking down, he discovered his chest was wrapped in layers of bandages, emanating a strong, pungent medicinal aroma.

A hint of surprise surged through Meng Shan: "When... when did I get injured?"

He struggled to sit up and looked around.

Just then, a gentle voice called out from beyond the curtains: "Cousin, you're awake, that's wonderful!"

Before Meng Shan could look up, a slender figure rushed towards him.

Following a faint fragrance, Meng Shan felt a soft, alluring scent wash over him, intoxicating him.

Before he could speak, he heard the person in his arms sob softly, "Cousin, I thought... I thought you would never wake up again..."

Her voice trembled with worry, stirring his emotions.

Looking at the young girl in his arms, Meng Shan, though filled with questions, chose to remain silent in this situation.

As time passed, the girl's emotions gradually calmed. She shyly raised her head, revealing a beautiful and lovely face, allowing Meng Shan to truly see her.

The girl appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a touch of childish innocence in her eyes and a gentle demeanor.

Her dark hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a light blue silk dress, looking exceptionally fresh and elegant.

Her eyes were red and swollen, tear stains still visible, which only added to her delicate charm.

Seeing Meng Shan awake, a hint of joyful relief flickered across the girl's haggard face.

She softly said, "Cousin, you're injured, don't move around for now. I'll go get Mister Mo."

Watching the girl's retreating figure, the observant Meng Shan noticed her attire was unusual, resembling an actress from an ancient costume drama at first glance.

"I remember... I was playing Wulin Qixia Zhuan last night, preparing for my sixth playthrough, and then..."

At this thought, Meng Shan's eyes widened.

Memories that did not belong to him, like a vortex stirred by a deep-sea hurricane, surged into his mind in a flash.

Meng Shan's mind became disoriented, and his head throbbed intensely.

After a long while, Meng Shan finally came to his senses, a sense of indescribable shock overwhelming him!

He had transmigrated!

Rubbing his slightly throbbing head, Meng Shan closed his eyes involuntarily, trying to ease his discomfort.

At this moment, he had completely absorbed all the memories of this body.

This was a completely different experience.

In his memories, he was called Meng Qingshan, the nephew of Li Yuanzhen, the chief escort of the Changfeng Escort Agency in Jade Mountain City.

He had followed his uncle, Li Yuanzhen, in practicing martial arts and escorting goods since childhood, traveling far and wide.

He had a cheerful disposition and valued loyalty, earning him the affection of his uncle and the escorts.

Li Yuanzhen had been widowed early and had no other children besides his two daughters.

As he grew older, he regarded Meng Qingshan as his own son and groomed him as his successor.

Several months ago, the Fuwei Escort Agency had visited and proposed a merger, intending to become the leading escort alliance.

Jade Mountain City was located at a crucial junction, close to rivers, with a bustling trade. Furthermore, the times were turbulent, which led to a thriving escort industry.

Within Jade Mountain City, besides the Changfeng Escort Agency, there were four other escort agencies.

Among them, the Zhao family's Fuwei Escort Agency was the largest. Zhao Zhicheng of Fuwei Escort Agency was ambitious, capturing one-third of the city's business and still wanting more.

He even wanted to establish an escort agency alliance, bringing the five agencies together to advance and retreat as one and jointly set escort fees.

This was originally a good idea, but Li Yuanzhen found Zhao Zhicheng to be hypocritical and untrustworthy, someone who would resort to any means to achieve his goals. Cooperating with him would be like "walking with a tiger," so he decisively rejected the merger proposal.

Since the Changfeng Escort Agency was the oldest establishment in Jade Mountain City, the other three escort agencies, upon seeing this, became hesitant. This greatly angered Zhao Zhicheng, who vowed to make it impossible for the Changfeng Escort Agency to operate in Jade Mountain City.

Not long after, Changfeng Escort Agency took on an important escort mission.

To ensure the safety of the cargo, the agency's elites were deployed in full force. However, not only did the cargo fail to reach its destination safely, but the agency's personnel were also nearly wiped out.

Only Li Yuanzhen and Meng Qingshan survived this escort mission.

Li Yuanzhen did his best to bring Meng Qingshan out of danger, but he himself was severely wounded.

Shortly after returning to the agency, he died from his injuries.

In his final moments, Li Yuanzhen seemed to have grasped the truth. He wanted to tell Meng Qingshan something, but in the end, he only asked Meng Qingshan to take good care of his two daughters before passing away peacefully.
