The carriage was spacious. Nie Yun and Dong Xin sat inside without feeling awkward, but Dong Xin had never been in such a cramped space with a man her own age before, so she felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.
"Are you sure... you can completely cure Elder Yue's illness?"
After an indeterminate period of silence, Dong Xin saw that the young man had no intention of speaking to her and could only take the initiative to speak.
Besides, she truly cared deeply about Elder Yue's illness. She feared that what he had said before was merely speculation, that in the end it would all prove as false as a dream.
"Elder Yue's illness is mainly caused by the Heart Demon Gu. As long as that is resolved, everything else will be easy!" Nie Yun knew what she was worried about and reassured her.
"That's good..." Dong Xin nodded.
With that, the two fell silent again. Only the crisp, ringing sound of hoofbeats echoed along the road.
Elder Yue's residence was not very far from Ye Estate. After a little over half an hour, the carriage came to a stop. The moment he stepped down, Nie Yun was stunned by the sight before him.
Shops lined both sides of the broad street. The crowds flowed like a shuttle, and the clamor surged like a tide, making it impossible to tell east from west.
"This is Pu Tian Avenue, the most prosperous place in all of Yunzhou City. Every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. Even I'm surprised Elder Yue gave you this house outright! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be willing to part with it!"
Dong Xin seemed to see his shock and explained.
"The most prosperous place in Yunzhou City?"
Nie Yun clicked his tongue.
