(Edited after 5 minutes) Ning Zhishui realized belatedly what he had said...
"Uh, I mean, are you here to play too?"
Ning Zhishui tried to make amends, but when she finished speaking again, both of them fell silent.
Dongfang Jing chuckled, "I have an appointment to discuss something, and I don't mean to have fun. But you..."
He glanced at Hu Shaoan who was beside Ning Zhishui with a playful look in his eyes.
Hu Shaoan felt very uncomfortable. He lowered his head, revealing his slender white neck. His hands were unconsciously pulling at his sleeves, and he wanted to hide behind Ning Zhishui.
Although I have been in this building for a while, today is the first time I have really interacted with guests. In the past, my aunt forced me to learn the rules and "talents".
Until now, Hu Shaoan still cannot adapt to his "identity".
"I'm here to discuss business, too." Ning Zhishui said seriously.
"Oh..." Dongfang Jing stretched out the last syllable, "Are you leaving now?"
"right."
Dongfang Jingzhi nodded, "Then I'll take you out."
As he said that, he turned around, walked to Ning Zhishui's side, and made a "please" gesture.
Ning Zhishui was puzzled, "Didn't you have a date?"
"It's okay. It won't take a moment." Dongfang Jing said, and patted the servant beside him, Jiang Yun, with the fan bone.
Jiang Yun understood, bowed, and went upstairs first.
But before leaving, he glanced at Ning Zhishui vaguely, with great doubt in his eyes.
Ning Zhishui didn't say anything and followed him downstairs.
"I didn't expect to meet you in Luoyu City."
The last time they parted was at Xiao Chiyangtan, but not much time had passed before they met again here.
"I was surprised too. Maybe this is fate." Dongfang Jing smiled. "I didn't expect that we are so in sync."
Ning Zhishui felt that his words implied something else and couldn't help but look at him again.
Dongfang Jing didn't look at her, the folding fan in his hand was tapping against the palm of his left hand.
The man's long hair was like ink, with a green headband floating behind him. The outline of his face seemed to be carved with a knife, his eyes were deep, and there was a nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ning Zhishui felt something was wrong.
Why do I feel like this guy is always pushing towards me?
The two were walking down the stairs, Dongfang Jing was standing on the left, Ning Zhishui was in the middle, and Hu Shaoan was originally on her right.
But as Dongfang Jing unknowingly moved towards her, she didn't have enough space and could only squeeze to the right. As a result... Hu Shaoan had no space left.
So Hu Shaoan had to fall one step behind the two of them, and was pushed out of this step and onto the back step.
Just as Hu Shaoan "withdrew", Dongfang Jing stopped squeezing. He looked at the two people's positions, smiled apologetically, and then moved a step to the left.
This move made Ning Zhishui's space more spacious, but it couldn't accommodate anyone else, so Hu Shaoan could only stand at the back.
Dongfang Jing glanced back unintentionally and said, "You want to send it too?"
Hu Shaoan was stunned and looked at Ning Zhishui helplessly, "I..."
"Go back and remember what I said." Ning Zhishui said.
Hu Shaoan replied yes, then stopped and watched the two of them leave.
Dongfang Jing seemed to smile, then turned to tell Ning Zhishui about the delicious and fun things in Luoyu City.
"By the way, there will be a beauty cream at Feiniaoxie tomorrow. I heard there's not much in stock, so if you're interested, you can go buy some early."
Ning Zhishui's heart moved, "Really?"
The beauty-enhancing jade-skin cream was a treasure that made too many people regret in their previous life.
When the product was first released, many people were skeptical because it was so expensive, costing thousands of crystals per bottle.
When faced with unknown things, everyone's reaction is the same, which is to watch calmly for a while.
But I didn’t expect that there were not many things to begin with, and they were all snatched away in less than two days.
Afterwards, those who bought the beauty-enhancing cream praised it to the sky, saying that their skin felt better as soon as they applied it, and became translucent from the inside out, which was obviously different from before.
As a result, everyone wanted to buy it. I thought Feiniaoxie would definitely restock the stock while it was popular, but who knew that the stock was sold out!
Later, everyone heard that this batch of beauty-enhancing jade-skin cream was made from Lingyun beads, which were taken from Yanyun Fairy Cave.
When Feiniaoxie took it, he saw that there were still many Lingyun Drops. At that time, he thought that they could be used to make a lot of beauty creams. But who knew that the fairy cave collapsed overnight due to a fight between powerful people.
Lingyun beads must be used as much as they can be taken, so it is suitable to be made while taking them, and not taking them all at once, otherwise they will lose their activity.
Because of this, Lingyun Drops were completely gone, and only that batch of the Nourishing Jade Skin Cream was produced, and it became a swan song after that.
I heard that later many people were willing to transfer it for a large sum of money, and the price increased more than tenfold, and everyone who bought it made a lot of money.
Even if you don't sell it, it's still worth it for your own use.
As far as Ning Zhishui knew, she lived until the Stairway to Heaven was opened, and she never saw the Beauty Jade Skin Cream and the Spirit Cloud Pearls again.
She missed it in her previous life because the thing only appeared in Luoyu City and Pingzhou City. Naturally, she had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
By the time I heard about it, the item was sold out and I couldn't buy it even if I wanted to.
But I didn't expect that the beauty cream would be on sale tomorrow.
After Ning Zhishui finished speaking, she saw Dongfang Jing stopped and stood there looking at her.
His eyes were deep, yet somewhat unclear, as if filled with mist, extremely hazy.
"Yes," she heard him say. "Really."
Ning Zhishui's brows moved slightly.
————
Compared to family background and power, she is nothing.
Compared to fame, she is still a small thing. What people are optimistic about is her future value, not her present value.
If she really met those big shots, Ning Zhishui would not be able to afford to offend any of them. She knew this very well.
"Oh...I'll be good and won't cause any trouble for you."
Hu Shaoan nodded obediently.
Ning Zhishui was very pleased.
As the two were talking, Ning Zhishui didn't pay attention to her side. When a group of guests walked past, one of them bumped into her because of his excessive movement. Ning Zhishui suddenly felt her feet slip and she almost fell down.
She reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled the handrail of the ladder beside her to steady her body, but she didn't expect that a hand was firmly holding her elbow at this time, and with a little force, she was pushed back to the steps.
"Thank you...eh?"
When Ning Zhishui looked up, he met a pair of eyes that were obviously surprised.
Dongfang Jing was wearing a moon-white robe, holding a emerald green flute, with his black hair casually tied up high, with a few strands of hair scattered on his forehead, adding a sense of unrestrained leisure.
"Dongfang Jing? Are you here to have fun too?"
Ning Zhishui stood up straight, bowed and asked with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she saw a crack in Dongfang Jing's expression.
