Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 58 – Merchant caravan departs
The next day.
Gu Xuanyuan brought back good news.
After several days of relentless persuasion, Jiang Aonan finally relented.
He agreed to insert Gu Feng and his companions into this year's caravan, but their identities must be kept strictly confidential.
As for whatever Gu Feng and his companions do after reaching the Witch's Village, the Jiang family would claim no knowledge and bear no responsibility!
This condition was entirely acceptable, after all, they couldn't always act under the Jiang family's name and cause them trouble.
However, once they reached the Witch's Village, Gu Feng and his companions would likely need to separate from the caravan and act independently.
This meant they would have fewer resources to rely on.
Fortunately, Hou Yixiao would be there to assist them in the White Tiger Witch's Village, which would make things considerably easier, and they should have a place to stay.
A few days later.
The Jiang family caravan was ready and waiting at the eastern gate of the city.
Gu Feng, accompanied by Fang Feixue and Hou Yixiao, who had transformed to look like Tuoba Zhu, went to join them.
At the eastern city gate.
Gu Feng had already changed into simple blue cloth attire, as it was necessary to keep a low profile and not act as ostentatiously as before.

Fang Feixue was still dressed in her usual outfit, not luxurious, but her natural beauty was striking.
The most noticeable was Hou Yixiao, in his beast-skin armor, which was the typical attire of the border Witch's Village. His current identity as a witch villager, Tuoba Zhu, was quite fitting.
The Jiang family caravan was massive, with dozens of cargo boxes and numerous vehicles and flying horses.
The leader of the caravan, named Bai Jugu, was the head servant of the Jiang family, with cultivation at the fourth level of the Golden Elixir Realm, which made him a formidable figure in ordinary cultivation sects.
Including the accompanying guards, the caravan had about a hundred people, and only Bai Jugu knew the true identities of Gu Feng and his companions.
"Young Master Gu!"
Bai Jugu discreetly approached Gu Feng and bowed respectfully, saying, "The journey will be rough, and if there are any shortcomings in hospitality, I ask for your forgiveness, Young Master Gu."
"You're too kind, Leader Bai. We'll be relying on you for assistance along the way."
Gu Feng returned the bow and quietly took out a pouch of spirit stones from his ring storage, slipping it into Bai Jugu's hands.
Gu Feng always made things convenient for others, and while spirit stones weren't everything, they were the most effective means of building relationships.
As the saying goes, money talks, and no matter the other party's status, forming a good connection never hurts.
Feeling the pouch of spirit stones in his hands, Bai Jugu immediately understood and smiled, "Of course, of course!"
Initially, when he received Jiang Aonan's order to take Gu Feng and his group along for trade, he was somewhat reluctant. However, he had no say in the matter and had to comply.
He had heard that the Gu family's sequence was known for their generosity, and seeing Gu Feng today, the reputation was well-deserved.
He immediately felt a favorable impression of Gu Feng and even looked at Hou Yixiao with kindness.
"Oh, right, please make sure to keep these safe, Young Master Gu."
Bai Jugu smiled and handed over three token-like objects.
Taking the three tokens from his hand, Gu Feng examined them closely.
The tokens were neither gold nor iron, triangular in shape, with a large "Jiang" character on the front and the Jiang family's emblem, a robust white horse, engraved on the back.
With these tokens, Gu Feng and his companions' identities would be accepted by the Northern Wilderness Witch's Village.
Especially when crossing the border from the Eastern Region to the Northern Wilderness, without these tokens, the witch cultivators guarding the border would never allow passage easily.
"Sister Feixue!"
Jiang Chuyao's voice suddenly came from not far away, and everyone turned to look.
They saw Jiang Chuyao in a red dress, flying towards them on a sword light.
Beside her was someone closely following, and Gu Feng focused his gaze.
It was Yan Wushuang!
Fang Feixue was not surprised to see Jiang Chuyao, but when she saw Yan Wushuang, she couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
The two landed one after the other, and Jiang Chuyao gave Fang Feixue a big hug, showing their deep sisterly bond.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Gu Feng and gave a slight bow.
"Commander Yan, what brings you here? Quite the rare guest!" Gu Feng said with a sarcastic smile, rubbing his chin.
Yan Wushuang's face was ashen as he replied, "The City Lord ordered me to accompany and ensure the young lady's safety."
"Oh~ I see, that's great, we'll have another good companion on the road."
Saying this, Gu Feng smiled and walked over to Fang Feixue, taking her hand and asking, "Isn't that right, Feixue?"
Fang Feixue hesitated, giving Gu Feng a reproachful look, but she knew he was jealous and asserting his claim, so she nodded obediently.
Yan Wushuang watched coldly, gritting his teeth in anger, his hatred for Gu Feng reaching its peak, and he turned away without saying another word.
Sensing the tension, Jiang Chuyao pulled Fang Feixue aside and whispered, "Sister Feixue, which one is your Daoist partner, Young Master Gu or Commander Yan?"
Fang Feixue was momentarily speechless and playfully scolded, "You little rascal! How dare you tease me?"
"Hehe, I didn't!"
Quickly changing the subject, Fang Feixue asked, "By the way, did your father agree to let you travel with the caravan?"
Jiang Chuyao nodded, her face full of pride, "Of course, although it took a lot of effort from me, my father finally agreed. However, he insisted that I bring Commander Yan along."
Jiang Aonan really had no way to handle his daughter.
If it weren't for Jiang Chuyao's persistent pleading and all sorts of tactics, he would never have agreed to let her travel with the caravan to the Northern Wilderness border!
How dangerous the Northern Wilderness border was, Jiang Aonan knew all too well!
It was far from the beautiful place Jiang Chuyao imagined!
Whoever instilled such a misguided notion in her was beyond him.
In the end, he had no choice but to assign Yan Wushuang to accompany her, ensuring his precious daughter's safety.
With Yan Wushuang's peak Elemental Infant strength, as long as Jiang Chuyao didn't provoke any notorious Spirit Dividing realm old monsters, no one could harm her.
The caravan members packed their belongings, and Bai Jugu arranged for Gu Feng and his companions to board a specially made carriage.
The carriage was pulled by four sturdy black winged horses, their glossy black coats shining in the early spring sunlight.
Yan Wushuang wanted to join them but was blocked by Gu Feng.
"Commander Yan, you're too tall for the carriage, so you'll have to bear with it!"
Ignoring Yan Wushuang's dark expression, Gu Feng closed the carriage curtain.
Yan Wushuang felt deeply humiliated, but with no outlet for his anger, he could only follow slowly on his sword light.
"Spring is here! Jiang family caravan, set off immediately! Hyah, hyah!"
Bai Jugu shouted, riding on the lead beast, and cracked his golden whip on the ground, producing a sharp "crack" sound.
With his shout, dozens of flags in the caravan were raised, the fiery red banners fluttering in the warm spring breeze, each emblazoned with the Jiang family emblem, clearly visible.
The space inside the carriage was actually quite large, clearly custom-made for them. Besides a long couch for resting, there were all sorts of immortal fruits, pastries, and tea, making it feel more like a leisurely outing than a trade journey.
Fang Feixue and Jiang Chuyao chatted and laughed, while Hou Yixiao quickly fell asleep, soon snoring.

Gu Feng gently lifted the curtain inside the carriage, and the black winged horses had already lifted the carriage into the air.
Looking at the clouds on the horizon, Gu Feng's lips curled into a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Nine Tribulations Witch King, here I come!"
