Chapter 62

Although speechless, Yu Qinghong had spoken well on Wei Changfeng’s behalf to Dongfang Caibai. While the pearl necklace had played a significant role, such a small request could hardly be refused.

Thus, Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong left Qingyuan Cottage together and hurried back to Jingyun City.

Jingyun City was neither too large nor too small, with a population of several hundred thousand. It had several bustling streets lined with shops doing brisk business.

Of course, there were no shortage of young maidens like Yu Qinghong who loved to visit ready-made clothing stores.

For Wei Changfeng, accompanying his senior sister to shop for clothes was a very novel experience, as he had never had such an experience in his previous life.

To his surprise, they spent the entire afternoon shopping.

Yu Qinghong loved to look, and when she looked, she wanted to try on the clothes. After trying them on, she would haggle over the price, and if there was the slightest dissatisfaction, she would turn and leave.

Poor Wei Changfeng followed behind her, suffering from a sore back, aching waist, and cramping legs, without ever seeing his senior sister satisfied. By the time it was dark, they were still empty-handed!

Several times, when she seemed to have found something she liked, Wei Changfeng wanted to take out money, but Yu Qinghong always pulled him away.

"Senior Sister, let's go to Sihai Pavilion!" Wei Changfeng suggested, preferring to practice the sword-drawing form ten thousand times rather than continue shopping.

"Sihai Pavilion?"

Yu Qinghong thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go to Sihai Pavilion!"

Wei Changfeng let out a long sigh of relief. "After buying the clothes, I'll treat Senior Sister to dinner at Fuman Tower."

Yu Qinghong smiled.

Sihai Pavilion, in addition to buying and selling various rare treasures, also had shops for weapons, jewelry, elixirs, and ready-made clothing, lining both sides of the main building and occupying nearly half of the bustling main street.

Of course, the ready-made clothing store at Sihai Pavilion sold only high-end goods, and those who entered were either noblewomen from prominent families or young ladies from wealthy households.

After being enthusiastically and politely recommended by the shop's attendant, Yu Qinghong chose a light blue long dress.

When she came out of the fitting room in the dress, Wei Changfeng couldn't help but be dazzled!

Yu Qinghong wasn't a beauty of unparalleled charm, but her appearance and demeanor were outstanding. The well-tailored dress accentuated her graceful figure, and the string of pearls around her snow-white neck added even more beauty.

The other customers, envious and jealous, cast admiring glances.

"Junior Brother Wei, do you think this one is good?" Yu Qinghong slowly turned around, smiling.

How could Wei Changfeng say it wasn't good? He immediately gave a thumbs up. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!"

Yu Qinghong blinked her eyes in satisfaction and asked the attendant, "How much is this dress?"

The attendant smiled. "If you like it, it's just 170 taels of silver."

"170 taels?" Yu Qinghong's smile faded, and she frowned. "That's too expensive..."

The clothes she had previously looked at and tried on were at most 20 to 30 taels of silver. Compared to the average household's annual expenditure of just a few dozen taels, this price was indeed high.

The attendant explained, "Miss, the silk for this dress is imported from Southern Chu, and it is adorned with many gold and silver threads. Plus, it is handcrafted by our master tailor. 170 taels is really not expensive."

From the side, there was a low laugh. Some customers, jealous of Yu Qinghong's beauty, looked at her with disdain—what was someone without money doing in Sihai Pavilion's clothing store?

If it weren't for fear of being laughed at for lack of manners, there would have been gossip already!

Yu Qinghong shook her head as if she hadn't noticed.

"Cough!"

Wei Changfeng coughed, preparing to pay for the dress with his silver notes.

"Miss, I'll buy this dress!" At that moment, a smug voice suddenly sounded. "How about I gift it to you?"

Wei Changfeng recognized the voice and looked in the direction it came from.

He saw an old acquaintance—Wang Hongyan!

Since the last time they had a competition at the Ye family's elixir shop, Wei Changfeng hadn't seen this Wang family member. He hadn't expected to run into him here, which was a coincidence.

In addition to Wang Hongyan, Wang Yang, his lackey, was also there, looking at Wei Changfeng with a cold smile.

Wang Hongyan ignored Wei Changfeng and approached Yu Qinghong, bowing in a show of elegance. "Miss, you are a beauty of unparalleled charm, and this dress is a perfect match. It would be a pity to miss it!"

Yu Qinghong was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh.

Her smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful and captivating, making Wang Hongyan stare with his mouth almost open.

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head. "Wang Hongyan, are you bored?"

Wang Hongyan sneered. "Wei Changfeng, what are you? Get out of my way!"

Yu Qinghong immediately stopped smiling and asked Wei Changfeng, "Do you know this boring guy?"

Wei Changfeng nodded. "He's from the Wang family, with no real skills, just relying on his family's power."

If he had been wary of Wang Hongyan when he first reincarnated, now there was no need to be polite.

Since the other party was rude first, his retaliation would not be gentle!

"Bold!"

Wang Yang couldn't help but shout, "Wei Changfeng, you lucky dog, you dared to be disrespectful to my young master again? Do you want to die?"

He glared at Wei Changfeng with a look of unspeakable malice.

Wei Changfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he glared back without backing down. "I think you want to die!"

He harbored real murderous intent, and if the situation were different, he would have killed him on the spot!

Wang Yang suddenly felt a chill, a sense of inexplicable fear rising in his heart, and he involuntarily lowered his head, unable to meet Wei Changfeng's gaze.

Wang Hongyan, however, seemed to be just getting to know Wei Changfeng, raising his eyebrows in surprise. "Hmm? Half a month without seeing you, Wei Changfeng, you've grown in ability. Last time you escaped, do you want to taste my power this time?"

He was unhappy, speaking in a lewd manner, not like a member of a noble family, but more like a street thug, with no dignity at all!

Wei Changfeng's gaze shifted to Wang Hongyan's face, and his murderous intent grew stronger, slowly clenching his fists.

Wang Hongyan laughed. "What? You, a mere waste of the Wei family, want to hit me? Even if I let you, would you dare to lay a hand on me?"

Wei Changfeng had been arrogant in his previous life, and after reincarnating, he had learned to be cautious. However, his inherent pride had never been truly erased, just deeply hidden.

For some reason, hearing the other's taunts and insults, the hidden ferocity in Wei Changfeng's soul was suddenly aroused, and he wanted to strike out and smash the ugly face in front of him!

However, just as Wei Changfeng was about to burst, Yu Qinghong suddenly reached out and grabbed his fist, asking, "Junior Brother, I remember Senior Sister Qingxuan once told me about a Wang family member who has been harassing her. It must be this Wang Hongyan, right?"

Wei Changfeng's gathered murderous intent was immediately stifled, and he nodded. "Yes!"

"You..."

Wang Hongyan's face changed. "Are you also a disciple of Master Dongfang?"

Wei Changfeng suddenly understood!

He knew that Dongfang Caibai had two disciples, but he had never seen the other one besides Yu Qinghong. Now he knew that the other disciple was Ye Qingxuan!

Yu Qinghong glanced at Wang Hongyan with disdain. "Not only am I, but Wei Changfeng is also a registered disciple of Master Dongfang. Wang Hongyan, you and your lackey have the nerve to insult someone from my sect!"

"I will report this to my master and ask her to deal with your family!"

Yu Qinghong's voice was not loud, and her tone was light, but to Wang Hongyan, it was like a thunderclap.

He involuntarily took two steps back, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Wang Hongyan had come to Sihai Pavilion to buy clothes, and when he saw Wei Changfeng with a charming young lady, he had evil intentions, wanting to humiliate her.

He never expected that Wei Changfeng was now a registered disciple of Dongfang Caibai, and he had also offended Ye Qingxuan's senior sister!

Wang Hongyan was determined to win Ye Qingxuan, but today's incident could ruin all his previous efforts and offend a powerful figure even his father couldn't afford to offend!

Thinking of the serious consequences, Wang Hongyan wished he could slap himself.

"Master..."

Wang Yang, seeing his master's changing expression, asked nervously.

It was better not to ask. As soon as the words "Master" were out, Wang Hongyan suddenly slapped Wang Yang hard. "What master? Look at your mouth! Apologize to Senior Sister now!"

Wang Yang, a third-level Body Cultivation martial artist, was undoubtedly stronger in combat than the elixir cultivator Wang Hongyan, but he dared not dodge the slap and could only endure it.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

After being hit, Wang Yang had to continue slapping his own already swollen face, bowing to Yu Qinghong and apologizing, "It's my fault..."

Yu Qinghong turned away in disgust. "Junior Brother, let's go!"

Seeing the two of them in such a disgraceful state, Wei Changfeng's murderous intent vanished—such despicable people weren't even worth killing!

He took out two silver notes and handed them to the stunned attendant. "I'll take this dress!"

"Master Wei, why didn't you let us know you were coming to Sihai Pavilion?"

At that moment, a hearty laugh sounded from outside the door.

Wan Haoming, the manager of Sihai Pavilion, walked in!
