Chapter 190 A little friendship
On the main street of the imperial city, Ye Chuheng and Lu Huaizhou walked side by side.
Lu Huaizhou looked at the streets around him that were as bright as day, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Your Highness, the night view here is so beautiful."
It was more beautiful than many of the attractions he had visited.
In the bustling night market, Ye Chuheng took him for a stroll.
In a short while, the two bought a lot of things, most of which were various snacks.
The food outside may not be as good as that made by the royal chef, but it also has its own unique flavor.
"Do you come here often?" Lu Huaizhou asked Ye Chuheng.
Ye Chuheng shook his head. "I came here a few times when I was a kid, but I haven't been here for a long time."
When he was a child, he loved to play and begged his father to bring him here several times.
Later, I was busy with cultivation and had little time to come down.
Even if they come down, they will go straight to the palace and will not go shopping in the market.
Lu Huaizhou suddenly saw a small stall selling masks. He pulled Ye Chuheng over and said, "Your Highness, let's go try on the masks."
All kinds of masks are hung on the racks, dazzling the eyes.
Lu Huaizhou picked up a fox mask and gestured on Ye Chuheng's face, "It doesn't seem to suit you."
He put down the fox mask and picked up the puppy mask next to it, nodding secretly, "This works."
Ye Chuheng asked in confusion, "Why is a puppy suitable for me? Foxes are also good-looking."
His contracted beast is now a fox.
In his eyes, Bai Yue is the cutest and most powerful fox.
Oh, except Hongxue.
But it’s okay, Hongxue is from the older generation, and Baiyue is the most powerful fox of the younger generation.
Lu Huaizhou chuckled, "Because you look like a puppy."
When it is obedient, it is cute and adorable, but when it is angry, it bares its teeth and scares people.
Of course, this is only in front of myself.
In front of others, Ye Chuheng is just a cold and handsome man who keeps strangers away.
Ye Chuheng did not refute. He put on the puppy mask on his face and said, "Whatever my wife says is what it is."
Then he picked a cat mask from the shelf and put it on Lu Huaizhou.
"My wife is a cat."
Lu Huaizhou let him put a cat mask on him, but he was thinking in his heart that he was not a cat.
He is a ferocious tiger.
In the past, when he fought in the business world, he never showed mercy.
"Two gentlemen, a hundred mid-grade spirit stones as a courtesy."
The vendor quoted a price.
Ye Chuheng gave him a storage bag and said, "I'll give you more as a reward."
"Hey! Thank you, Master!"
The boss happily put away the storage bag without even looking at how many spirit stones were inside.
Generally, he would not worry about missing spirit stones for customers who were given storage bags directly, after all, the storage bags alone were not cheap.
Every business owner likes such customers the most.
After paying the bill, Ye Chuheng turned around and continued shopping with Lu Huaizhou.
Lu Huaizhou sighed, "As expected, it's at the foot of the Imperial City. The prices here are much higher than other places."
Ye Chuheng chuckled, "Huai Zhou, can you find any difference in this mask?"
After he asked this, Lu Huaizhou began to examine the mask carefully, "Is this a defensive magical weapon?"
"Yes, but it's just a low-level defensive magic weapon. It's almost useless in this imperial city."
Ye Chuheng explained to him, "But what they are selling is just a form. No one will buy it if it's too ordinary. The added functions are just to make it worth the price."
"But I heard that many businessmen also resell them elsewhere."
Lu Huaizhou was puzzled. "Reselling? They're selling for fifty medium-grade spirit stones here. They'll definitely fetch a higher price elsewhere. Is anyone willing to buy them?"
Ye Chuheng raised his hand and patted his hair, "Yes, they will make a profit even if it's only one mid-grade spirit stone more expensive."
"In fact, alchemists and weapon refiners are very rare. If a small family has even one person who is an alchemist or weapon refiner, they will mobilize the entire family to train them."
"It's only fifty mid-grade spirit stones, there will still be people who will buy it."
"But I guess most of them will be sold to mercenary groups. Mercenary groups have a huge demand for magical tools and are willing to pay for them, so naturally some merchants will target them."
Lu Huaizhou asked again, "Then why don't they go to the Equipment Pavilion to buy it?"
As far as he knew, there were many low-level magical weapons in the weapon pavilion, and the prices should be the most reasonable.
"They are often away on missions, so they don't have the time to go shopping for everything. Besides, weapon pavilions are not available everywhere."
"I see."
The two men were wearing masks and their faces were not visible, so they wandered around the city freely.
Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't see, Lu Huaizhou let go of his usual reserve and strolled around happily.
Ye Chuheng followed behind him, looking at his happy figure with a smile.
No matter what Lu Huaizhou liked, he would take the initiative to pay the bill.
He also experienced the joy of shopping with his wife, where she is responsible for shopping while he is responsible for checking out and carrying the bags.
Ye Chuheng never gets tired of it.
While walking into a jewelry store, Lu Huaizhou was choosing a hairpin for Ye Chuheng when he suddenly heard someone calling them.
"Your Highness, Master Lu."
Ye Chuheng turned around and saw that it was Shen Yunhan. He nodded and said, "It's you."
Lu Huaizhou also turned around and took off his mask. "Good evening, Miss Chen."
Shen Yunhan happily took the arm of the person next to him, "Your Highness, Master Lu, this is my father, Shen Jianing."
"Dad, this is His Highness and Master Lu. They are both my saviors."
Shen Jianing smiled gently, then bowed and saluted, "I am Shen Jianing, and I am honored to meet His Highness and Mr. Lu."
Lu Huaizhou stood there without saying anything, just turned to look at Ye Chuheng.
Only then did Ye Chuheng slowly take off his mask and said, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Shen Jianing raised his head and met Ye Chuheng's gaze. In just a moment, he confirmed who the other person was.
They look so similar, so much like Ye Jingzhao.
Thinking back to the past, he was able to let go of his worries and express his feelings to Si Heng, and the little grandson played an indispensable role.
Chen Jianing bowed again, "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Grandson is doing well now?"
Ye Chuheng raised his eyebrows, "You are very familiar with my father."
Chen Jianing smiled and said, "I do have some friendship with the little emperor's grandson."
"If your Highness doesn't mind, how about we go sit in the teahouse?"
Ye Chuheng nodded, "Okay."
I guess Lu Huaizhou is also tired from shopping.
Lu Huaizhou glanced at the hairpins, confirmed that there was nothing he wanted, and left with them to the teahouse.
On the way, Shen Yunhan chattered with Lu Huaizhou.
Lu Huaizhou kept chatting with her with a smile on his face.
Shen Jianing could also tell from this that Shen Yunhan was more familiar with this Mr. Lu.
Because when facing Ye Chuheng, she would unconsciously become nervous.
Although it was not obvious, Shen Jianing could sense it clearly.
In a private room of the teahouse, four people sat opposite each other.
Chen Jianing thanked them solemnly, "Hanhan told me about what she saw and heard in the secret realm a few days ago. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving my life."
Lu Huaizhou shook his head. "Mr. Shen, there's no need to be so polite. Miss Shen and Mr. Shen have already expressed their gratitude and given us gifts."
Shen Jianing smiled and said, "They are them, and I am me."
"I am their elder, and I should have come to thank them, but I didn't expect to meet you two unexpectedly today."
