"Big Brother Ji, were you mad at me?"
A flattering smile bloomed on Baili Hongzhuang's face as she walked over to face Ji Wenbin.
Since she's come here, the first person to treat her with kindness was Ji Wenbin.
She didn't want to let such a thing to ruin their relationship. Those who sent help in one's hour of need must always be treated seriously.
"How could I dare be mad at you?" Ji Wenbin's cold voice revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Big Brother Ji!" Baili Hongzhaung called out, "You should also know that I was in a special situation at that time. I was grounded by the General, so if I used my real name, it'd become very disadvantageous. I could only use an alias."
"Apart from this, I've never done anything to deceive you."
Ji Wenbin still didn't say anything. When he had heard the news earlier today, he had nearly jumped out of his skin in shock. He never thought the friend he was so proud of would've actually lied to him.
"Since Big Brother Ji doesn't want to see me, I'll leave first."
Baili Hongzhaung's face turned sad and lonely as she turned to walk toward the doors. But in her heart, she secretly counted.
Three.
Two.
One.
"Wait!" Ji Wenbin's voice rang out as he sighed helplessly. "I know your situation was forced."
When he had first found out about Baili Hongzhaung's lies, he was terribly angry. But then when he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that she really did have her own difficulties.
Then as he listened to her words, his resentment melted away, leaving only worry and concern for Baili Hongzhuang.
"Hehe." Baili Hongzhaung smiled happily, "I knew Big Brother Ji was highly principled, and could understand my plight!"
Ji Wenbin couldn't be as happy as Baili Hongzhaung, "I heard you and Prince Chen would be married in a month's time. Is this the truth?"
"It's true."
"Why did the Emperor grant the marriage so abruptly?"
"Because His Majesty was unhappy with me!"
Baili Hongzhaung smiled. She was unflattering in the Emperor's eyes, so it was only reasonable to marry her off to Dibei Chen.
"So then, are you really willing to marry Dibei Chen?"
Other people might not know, but Ji Wenbin knew clearly that Baili Hongzhaung and Dibei Chen were both very familiar with each other.
Before, he had seen Dibei Chen sevral times in Godly Doctor Square. Was it him who asked the Emperor for the engagement?
"I think Dibei Chen isn't bad." Baili Hongzhuang laughed lightly, "At least, a lot more reliable than Xuanyuan Huan."
"Really decided?"
Even if Ji Wenbin decided to speak more useless words, what could he do? After all, this was the Emperor who laid down the decree.
But he still couldn't help but ask. He wanted to make sure Baili Hongzhuang didn't regret her decision.
"Decided." Baili Hongzhaung's voice was quiet , but firm.
Baili Hongzhuang bought a large pile of herbs in Ten-thousand Medicine Lane. Since opening Godly Doctor Square, her business was thriving and she no longer had to calculate and confirm which herbs she needed to get.
Watching Baili Hongzhaung buy so many herbs at once, Ji Wenbin was puzzled, "Hongzhaung, what are you doing with so many herbs?"
Baili Hongzhuang smiled, "It's a secret, I have some stuff to do."
Ji Wenbin couldn't help but laugh, dumbfounded. Baili Hongzhuang was intentionally acting mysterious, provoking his curiosity. He no longer continued to ask.
Putting all the medicine into the Heaven and Earth bags, Baili Hongzhuang left for Heavenly Jewel Pavilion.
Heavenly Jewel Pavilion was the largest shop in the Imperial City for all things cultivation. It's size was incomparable to others.
This was a place only the rich could go.
Heavenly Jewel Pavilion. It has anything and everything a cultivator seeks.
Even if they didn't at the time, as long as you paid, they would certainly help you as soon as possible!
This was the reason for Heavenly Jewel Pavilion's fame.
"Master, what do you want to buy?" Little Black asked curiously.
Today, his master was simply bleeding money. With that fist sized sack of gold, she could've bought so much food and let them eat happily.
"Pill furnace!"
Her eyes gleamed brightly. Today, she came here to buy a pill furnace!
Before, she lacked funds and could only wait. But now that she has the money, she can finally buy her pill furnace!
Just by entering Havenly Jewel Pavilion, Baili Hongzhaung could understand how it was worthy of the people's praise. Just the layout alone was enough to make a person's eyes light up.
Even in the night, Heavenly Jewel Pavilion was as bright as day.
All the pills, precious herbs, and weapons were displayed with a price tag, sorted out by rank and level, letting its visitors find the items they needed as soon as possible.
The waiters and waitresses were all handsome men and beautiful women with gentle, polite smiles, naturally making one happy.
Noticing Baili Hongzhaung, a waitress immediately came over and smiled, "Miss, what might you've come to buy here today?"
"A pill furnace, do you have it?"
She took a look around and had only seen pills, herbs, weapons, etc, but never once seen a pill furnace.
Hearing Baili Hongzhaung wanted to buy a pill furnace, a touch of surprise appeared in the waitress’s eyes before they returned to their usual calmness.
Although Heavenly Jewel Pavilion did indeed sell pill furnaces, the people who bought them were very little.
After all, pill masters were just too rare. Even in the Imperial City, there were only a few.
Was this surprisingly young girl in front of her a pill master?
"Pill furnaces are on the second floor. Miss, please follow me."
The waitress bowed and held out her hand, gesturing for Baili Hongzhuang to follow her to the second floor.
Baili Hongzhaung nodded slightly. As long as she could buy the pill furnace, she was happy.
But when Baili Hongzhaung arrived at the second floor, she saw a familiar, hateful figure.
Truly, enemies are on a narrow road!
Baili Yuyan was accompanying Du Hanyue to buy a pill furnace. Du Hanyue was an apprentice pill master.
Although her own concoction skills were insufficient, pill master Yun Qingfeng's skills were very well known.
The hunting feast was right around the corner. She and Baili Haoxuan needed to show a good performance, so an appropriate pill was very important.
Only after flattering Du Hanyue did she get him to promise to beg his master Yun Qingfeng to refine the siblings some pills.
But this Du Hanyue was also ruthless, and even wanted them to buy him a pill furnace!
This was an item expensive like no other, but under their current circumstances, the two siblings could only clench their teeth and bleed money!
Seeing Baili Hongzhaung appear, Baili Yuyan's face turned disdainful.
"You, you actually dare to enter Heavenly Jewel Pavilion?"
"You can enter, so why can't I enter?"
Baili Hongzhuang's words were sarcastic. Really, every time this girl sees her, she keeps on looking for trouble with her!
Only now did Baili Yuyan remember that Baili Hongzhaung wasn't the same anymore. Just by opening Godly Doctor Square alone, her income was far higher than her own.
Although she could eat and drink well in the General's Household and the monthly allowance of silver coins were many, the expenses were also large, so the real amount of money in her hands are actually rather little.
Too lazy to bother with Baili Yuyan's nonsense, Baili Hongzhaung directly walked to the pill furnace shelves.
