Chapter 47: Narrow Road Encounter

  Xiong Xiao and Yi Gu Yun exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat strange. The Jian family's shops had always been in their own houses, never renting any...

  However, he immediately thought that Qin had saved his master's life and the old man didn't accept her silver... His master must be trying to take this opportunity to show gratitude to Qin.

  After understanding, they all fell silent.

  Jian Yu's pitch-black eyes stared intently at Qin Luo Yi, gazing at her slightly contemplative and beautiful face. For the first time, a strange tension flashed through his usually calm heart.

  "It's my honor to open a shop with the famous Han Yuanjian family, hehe, as long as you don't mind that my shop is small, I naturally have no objections to cooperating." After thinking for a moment, Qin Luoyi finally smiled and agreed.

  Jian Yu Yan heard the words, her heart was set, and a very pleasant smile appeared on her warm and beautiful face: "Yi Er, don't be modest, in the capital city, your shop is not small!"

  The two of them laughed and chatted for a while before changing the subject to the decoration of the shop.

  Qin Luoyi had no experience with these things, and thinking that the Jian family's seal shop had been open for thousands of years, its foundation was deep, so he naturally felt at ease entrusting everything to him to decide.

  Jian Yu Yan did not decline either.

  As for the rent, no matter what Jian Yuyan said, Qin Luoyi was determined not to collect it. She only provided the house and didn't even need to exert herself, and with the help of the influential Jian family in managing it, she had already gained a huge advantage. Moreover, this way, apart from refining elixirs, she could also free up a lot of time for cultivation.

  "You want me to pay rent, I won't cooperate with you either, I'll open this shop myself!" This one sentence made Jian Yuyan swallow all the words of persuasion she had prepared in her heart, and she didn't dare to force it anymore.

  After leaving the Smoke and Rain Building, Qin Luo Yi parted ways with Jian Yu Yan. She didn't immediately return to the Wang Fu, instead deliberately circling around the streets a few times. Even though she had already decided to cooperate with Jian Yu Yan, she still didn't want to reveal her identity now. The fact that she could refine seventh-grade elixirs was something she didn't want anyone in the Wang Fu or the imperial palace to know.

  Fortunately, Jian Yu Yan was also straightforward and didn't send anyone to follow her... Qin Luo Yi smiled slightly, and her good impression of him increased a bit more.

  As they approached the Xianling Square, several tall and slender figures walked towards them. The tall man in front was dressed in a black robe, with a gloomy face and an aura of extreme coldness that made people involuntarily give way to him wherever he passed.

  Qin Luo's clothes fell low, and she muttered a curse under her breath. The faint smile at the corner of her lips involuntarily disappeared.

  Zhong Qing Forever!

  Never thought today would be so unlucky and run into this ice stick guy!

  This man's ferocity and ruthlessness, she had witnessed before. If he recognized her, the consequences would be unthinkable! And then there were the four men and four women following behind him, each one of them not to be underestimated!

  She calmed herself and slowed down her pace, then quickened it again, passing by Du Mu Changqing with a composed expression.

  Du Mu's gaze, sharp as a knife, swept across her body and quickly moved away, his eyes icy cold.

  Qin took off her clothes and secretly let out a sigh of relief, using the art of disguise to change her appearance, which was quite different from the last time. It seemed that Duanmu Changqing had not recognized her.

  Can't help feeling a wave of relief in my heart!

  "Oh, Miss is also choosing spirit plants today? What a coincidence, I've run into you again!" A clear and magnetic voice suddenly came from one side.

  Qin Luoyi's eyes narrowed as he gazed out, and his attention was drawn to a white-clad figure standing at the entrance of Xianling Square. Behind him stood two young sword-bearing guards with exceptionally powerful auras.

  Duanmu Changqing, who had just walked past Qin Luoyi's side, stopped in his tracks and turned to look at them.

  The few people who followed him also stopped in their tracks.

  In an instant, more than a dozen thoughtful gazes fell on Qin Luoyi's body.

  Qin Luoyi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and gritted her teeth in anger.

  Damn Chu Yixiu, they're not even familiar with each other, what's he doing greeting her like that?

  In her heart, she hated him to no end. Yet, in front of the countless people on the street, she had no choice but to stop in her tracks, break into a radiant smile and say in a soft, gentle voice that was unlike her usual tone: "I've seen His Highness, the Third Prince."

  While speaking, she quickly walked past him, without saying that she was just passing by. The gaze of Du Mu Chang Qing on her made her stand unsteadily, afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would expose herself and stir up a huge commotion.

  Now she just wants to quickly get out of the man's sharp gaze, in comparison, Chu Yuxiu gives her a much warmer feeling.

  Chu Yixiu gazed at her radiant smile, a hint of unusual color flashing in his dark eyes. The girl's face was crystal clear, with skin as white as snow, and eyebrows that curved like a painting. Her eyes sparkled like stars, and the red lips under her straight nose were luscious and inviting. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, exuding a playful and charming aura... The smile at the corner of her lips deepened: "Miss, what would you like to choose today?"

  Qin Luo Yi tilted her head and gazed at the Xianling Square a few steps away, wrinkled her nose and smiled: "Let's take a look first!"

  Two people chatted as they walked and soon entered Xianling Lane.

  Ye Zhanggui saw Qin Luoyi enter, slightly stunned, then saw the smiling Three Princes standing beside him, his heart moved, without saying much, personally welcoming them in.

  Du Mu Changqing stood on the street, watching that stunningly beautiful figure disappear before his eyes, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart. This girl, who was clearly meeting him for the first time, somehow gave him a very familiar feeling, just like the woman who had accidentally bumped into his carriage that day and given him an injection...

  After some thought, it doesn't seem like it either.

  The woman in front of her was stunningly beautiful, exuding an aura of nobility and elegance. In contrast, that detestable woman from that day had skin that was noticeably darker, a face that was slightly fuller, and eyes that were cold and despicable.

  Thinking of his current predicament, his thin lips pursed even tighter, his hands clasped behind him, a fierce killing intent burst forth from his eyes.

  "Traceless!"

  "Long live the Emperor!"

  "You stay here and investigate that woman thoroughly!"

  "Yes!"

  Qin Luoyi stood on the second floor of Xianling Square, although she was selecting spiritual plants with Chu Yixiu, but her eyes occasionally glanced at Duanmu Changqing's movements through the window.

  As they withdrew their gaze and continued walking forward, the lifted heart was finally put down... It seems that Du Mu Changqing didn't recognize himself after all.

  Chu Yixiu quickly selected fifteen spiritual plants and spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver. Qin Luoyi looked at the spiritual plants he had chosen and raised an eyebrow in secret.

  Those spiritual plants, combined together, can refine the fifth-grade beauty pill! The beauty pill and the purple jade cream have similar effects, with the functions of activating blood circulation, removing stasis, and eliminating scars. Although its effect is not as good as that of the purple jade cream, it's still quite good.

  The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile, and he knew that he had chosen these things for the sake of his injured cousin.

  Hehe, her "fiancé" is really thoughtful towards his cousin!

  She pursed her lips, and shifted her gaze away, which had become icy cold. Originally, she didn't need any more spiritual plants, but to avoid raising suspicions, she still pretended to choose two, which were not expensive, and the total price was only about a thousand taels of silver.

  She had just bought a house and almost all her savings were spent. Before selling the dan medicine, she would have to be frugal with her money.

  Digression
