Yan Yu had two tasks for this trip: first, to devise a method to suppress those rogue cultivators and stop their disturbances; second, to find the behind-the-scenes merchant who was selling Elixir Medicine and undermining the state's monopoly.
As for the matter with Ye Jun... ahem, this was an official business trip, so personal affairs were off the table.
Considering these two tasks, the former was relatively straightforward, since there were various trial plans from his previous life to choose from, with clear advantages and disadvantages for each path; the latter was a bit more troublesome, for Yan Yu had not been involved in this matter in his previous life and did not know who was handling it at the time.
In any case, it was best to discuss these matters thoroughly with Ye Jun first.
