After Reaching his mansion Morgan boarded the carriage and went to Ray's villa.
Upon arriving at the villa, Morgan saw Raw with a tired look on his face as he sent off a few visiting merchants.
The merchants leaving the villa immediately stopped in their tracks when they saw the city lord's carriage approaching.
Upon seeing the city lord step down from the carriage, the merchants eagerly approached him, greeted him with enthusiasm, and began discussing business plans with him.
The city lord, with a smile, immediately stopped them from speaking and invited them to his mansion to discuss the plans and finalize the deals.
The merchants agreed to Morgan's idea and left the place with contented smiles on their faces.
Ray, who was watching from the sidelines with a bored expression, listened to the conversation between Morgan and the merchants and was fascinated by how effortlessly Morgan handled them.
Ray then saw Morgan had sent away the merchants, so he walked forward and invited Morgan into the house.
Morgan happily accepted the invitation and asked the carriage driver to send away any guests that might arrive while he was there. He then walked with Ray into the villa.
Ray thanked him for helping him fend off the visitors who had been coming to his villa since this morning, disturbing his peace and tranquility.
He then asked Morgan to sit on the sofa, and Ray sat beside him, asking the reason for such a sudden visit without any prior notice.
"Is there any emergency, you have come here in a hurry without any sign of a visit" Ray asked.
"Yeah, I heard that you were leaving the city soon through the city people and I heard you brought yourself a pretty big boat which has prompted me to visit you now," Morgan explained.
Ray had a question mark on his face as he didn't understand the intricate relations between these.
Morgan knew Ray didn't understand the topic as he saw the blank expression on his face and further explained his reasons.
"Ray, you should have heard there is an auction going on in the upper-tier city in 2 more months," Morgan asked.
"Yes, I have heard about that, I was thinking of moving in that direction after leaving this city," Ray confirmed
"Well, I was thinking of going to the city too, as the foundation pill was being auctioned there and Misha and John need foundation pills to build their foundation," Morgan said.
"Well, that's great, the ship I have bought is pretty big and I can allocate three rooms for the three of you." Ray excitedly said.
Morgan smiled wryly upon seeing to Ray excited look.
"Well actually it was the plan before, but now the plans have changed, I have observed various forces keeping an eye out on the city during these days and I feel most of them malicious."
"So, I can't leave the city, which will make me the only guardian not present here. And I can't leave the city's defense solely in the hands of a Qi cultivator."
"If they find out I'm not in the city, they might attack and kill all the guards to steal all the goods."
"I don't want to face the rear of my backyard on fire while I was striding for the future," Morgan explained his dilemma.
"If you want me to stay for a few more days until the hostile forces leave, I will stay. I don't want the city to be damaged, and I want to return here eventually after my travels through all the kingdoms and empires are completed," Ray suggested.
Morgan felt happy upon hearing Ray's thoughts, but he politely declined his idea and proposed his idea.
"I was thinking of sending John and Misha to the auction with you as their guardian," Morgan suggested.
"I need your help to secure the foundation pill since the auction rules prevent qi refiners from bidding. This restriction has caused qi realm cultivators to remain stagnant in their realm for their entire lives, resulting in a consistent number of foundation realm cultivators each year," Morgan explained.
"If you get even one foundation pill, give it to John first. He's been serving me since his prime and reached the peak of the qi realm a long time ago. I'll inform Misha of my decision and ask her to wait, as she's still in her early 20s and can form her foundation later."
"If you can bid for two pills, I'll be extremely happy and stay happy for the rest of my life," Morgan said.
"After John has taken his pill and formed the foundation, please send him back immediately. I can also have extra force in the city with him at the foundation realm, sitting here and stabilizing the city," Morgan said.
"While I will leave Misha in your care and ask you to take her along on your travels to show her the world, even if she reaches the foundation realm," Morgan said.
Ray thought for a moment and seriously stood up a promised with his hand on his heart that he would protect the safety of Misha and his butler John until he sent them back to the city safely.
Morgan felt happy upon seeing the promise Ray had made and immediately hugged him to show his appreciation for helping him without asking for anything in return.
Ray then asked Morgan about his daily affairs, chatted with him for a few minutes, and sent him away after realizing it was already late, and Morgan had work to do at the office.
With Morgan's departure, Ray had a serious look on his face and asked Jessica, who had just come in, to hang a board at the gate stating that he was in closed-door training and wouldn't be back for 10 days. He then went into his room after informing Lily about this.
He first cleaned the room until it was pristine and threw all the garbage out.
Then Ray stored a few types of fruits in his storage bag to eat while he was in closed-door training.
