Seeing Cheng Ye approaching from afar, the shopkeeper's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he hurried over to greet him: "Master Cheng, is there anything you would like?"
Cheng Ye looked around. 666's reminder didn't seem to be helpful. He nodded politely at the shopkeeper and looked down at the child holding his hand. "Cheng Xi, is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you."
Cheng Xi stayed in Cang Yun Sect for a few days because Cheng Ye had instructed everyone to take care of him like a young master before he went into seclusion. However, Cheng Xi had been bullied since he was a child, and since Cheng Ye, the only person he knew, was not around, he lived very restrainedly and his introverted personality did not change much.
He shrank behind Cheng Ye and shook his head.
Cheng Ye didn't force it and asked, "What's going on recently?"
"There will be a big auction at the auction house soon, and there are a lot of good things there." The shopkeeper took out a list from the drawer and handed it to Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye opened it and took a look. Instead of seeing any good things, he found a medicinal herb called Hanjiang. If this was used as the material to refine pills, Cheng Xi would not have to take pills to suppress fire poison every once in a while.
He narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.
Qi Yu took Han Jiang from the original world and gave him to Feng Yuxuan as a love gift.
Feng Yuxuan is a genius in refining weapons, but he has not yet refined his own fire essence, so he needs external forces to condense the essence of various fires in order to refine high-level magic weapons. However, this method will allow fire to enter the body. If it is not removed in time, it will gradually develop into fire poison over time. Han Jiang can help him solve this problem once and for all until he condenses his own natal fire.
Cheng Ye touched his purse and was determined to get Han Jiang.
After all, as a young master, he has quite a lot of pocket money, and as a weapon refiner, he can also earn a lot of extra money!
After asking about the auction time, Cheng Ye and Cheng Xi prepared to go back. However, they ran into Feng Yuxuan as soon as they went out.
The farce spread quickly at that time, and rumors were flying everywhere. The most widely circulated one was that Cheng Ye had a crush on Feng Yuxuan, but Feng Yuxuan and Qi Yu, the young master of the Wentian Sect, were in love with each other and were about to become citizens of the same clan, so Cheng Ye turned love into hate and became irreconcilable with the two of them from then on.
Cheng Ye could guess with his toes that this rumor was probably Feng Yuxuan's doing. After all, anyone who could gain the favor of the Cheng and Qi families was probably not an ordinary person.
After the rumor spread, Feng Yuxuan's value skyrocketed. Many people went to the Weapon Refining Pavilion to ask for magical weapons just to see his true appearance.
Cheng Ye: "Heh."
666 explained, "His injuries aren't easy to heal. Not only does he need high-quality elixirs to repair his injuries, but he also needs to be nursed back to health for a while. The Weapon Refining Pavilion doesn't keep idle people, right? This can be considered a way for him to make money."
But Feng Yuxuan himself knew that rumors were just rumors. Not to mention Cheng Ye, Qi Yu wanted to stab him to death with a sword. What was going on? When he saw Cheng Ye for the first time, he couldn't help feeling guilty and took a step back.
After Feng Yuxuan entered the Equipment Refining Pavilion, he knew that he had offended both Cheng Ye and Qi Yu. If the two of them insisted on picking a fight with him regardless of the consequences, the Equipment Refining Pavilion would not go against both the Cheng and Qi families for the sake of a small disciple like him. So during this period of time, he had no time to focus on recuperating and refining equipment. Instead, he kept trying to win over other people and get more supporters. If Cheng Ye and Qi Yu came to him, he would not be isolated and helpless. Maybe for the sake of these people, Cheng Ye and Qi Yu would also be cautious and dare not be too presumptuous.
Feng Yuxuan was delicate and soft, with a pretty face, and she often acted weak. Soon, she was surrounded by many men who had a strong desire to protect her.
The tall man following Feng Yuxuan at this time was a young master from a second-rate family.
666 pulled up his information, Cheng Ye took a quick look and found that he was just a playboy who had no education and only knew how to have fun. Because his family was rich, he was able to eat well in this area.
Some time ago, he went to the Equipment Refining Pavilion to buy a magical weapon and met Feng Yuxuan by chance. He was immediately shocked by her beauty, but because Qi Yu had already made it known in advance, he could only treat the other party with courtesy, not asking for anything else, just for Feng Yuxuan to look at her more and avoid him.
When he saw Cheng Ye at this time, his face changed and he subconsciously looked at Feng Yuxuan. It was obvious that he also believed the bloody story of the love triangle.
Cheng Ye glanced at Feng Yuxuan, who was evasive in his gaze and didn't dare to meet his gaze. He sneered and was about to walk past them, brushing their shoulders, but was stopped by the playboy.
"Young Master Cheng, if you truly like someone, you don't want to get him, but you want him to be happy even if you can only watch him from afar."
Cheng Xi grabbed Cheng Ye's hand tightly, and her nails almost dug into the back of Cheng Ye's hand.
"Hiss—" Cheng Ye lowered his head and saw the child's face was full of tension. Thinking that he was afraid of Feng Yuxuan, he patted the back of his hand to signal him to relax. "Don't be afraid. With me here, no one dares to bully you."
Cheng Xi pursed his lips twice but didn't say anything.
Cheng Ye turned around, rubbed his fingers, looked at the dandy with interest, then looked at Feng Yuxuan, and sneered: "Some people really have an air of shamelessness!"
Feng Yuxuan looked embarrassed and hurriedly tugged at the dandy's sleeve, not wanting to anger Cheng Ye.
He knew that it was dishonorable for him to act as a substitute, but Cheng Ye and Qi Yu would not deliberately publicize it. Even if Qi Yu chose the Equipment Refining Pavilion, he did not leak any information. So even though he was uneasy, he was not particularly afraid.
The playboy looked at Cheng Ye's gloomy face, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was a bully who would destroy someone if he couldn't get what he wanted. In order not to show his weakness in front of his beloved, he snorted and said disdainfully, "Master Feng already has someone he loves. I hope Young Master Cheng will not get involved with him and lose the face of our big family."
Cheng Ye looked at the playboy in confusion: "Which eye of yours saw me pestering him? If you hadn't called me, I would have left long ago. However—everyone on the street saw you pestering him. I'm afraid it would be more appropriate to say this to yourself."
Cheng Ye looked at Feng Yuxuan with his beautiful peach blossom eyes. "Mr. Feng is indeed very resourceful. He found another client so quickly. I don't know how he tricked him this time. Although I know that a dog's nature can never be changed, this young master still wants to warn you." He took two steps forward, approaching Feng Yuxuan. Although he was smiling, his condescending attitude and the natural air of superiority he exuded made Feng Yuxuan dare not look up at him. He chuckled and said through gritted teeth, "If you force something that is not destined for you, you will die without a burial place!"
He used his true energy to say this. Han Yuxuan and Wanku's cultivation was much lower than Cheng Ye's. The two of them stood there trembling, and it was not until Cheng Ye's back had completely disappeared from the street for a long time that their bodies slowly recovered from the numbness and regained control.
The playboy looked at the direction where Cheng Ye disappeared and spat, "How can you be called a hero if you rely on your family background to bully others? If you have the guts, fight with real guns and swords." He completely forgot that he had already been defeated miserably by virtue of his momentum.
Feng Yuxuan looked a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips, smiled awkwardly, and was secretly glad that Cheng Ye had left.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Qi Yu coming towards them from afar with hurried steps and a stern face.
Feng Yuxuan's face tightened and he shivered involuntarily.
The dandy followed his gaze and felt the sharp sword force piercing his skin, causing him to rub his arms slightly.
Compared to Cheng Ye, the person Wanku fears the most is actually Qi Yu.
After all, Qi Yu's advantage is not only his family background, but also his profound cultivation and magical weapons. If you really offend Qi Yu, with Qi Yu's ability, it would be a piece of cake for him to disappear quietly without attracting other people's attention.
"Master Qi, actually Master Feng and I--" The dandy's thighs were trembling, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to explain that he had no intention of coveting Feng Yuxuan, and simply wanted to help the other party. Maybe he could even use this opportunity to curry favor with Qi Yu.
After all, it was rumored that Qi Yu was deeply in love with Feng Yuxuan, even asking for whatever he wanted. He was willing to confront Young Master Cheng for him, so it would only benefit him to become familiar to him.
He had a good idea in his mind, but before he could finish his sentence, Qi Yu didn't even glance at him and rushed forward, avoiding them.
The dandy was startled, and turned to look at Feng Yuxuan, who had his head buried very low, puzzled: "Yuxuan, why don't you call Master Qi? I don't think he saw you."
"It's okay. He left in such a hurry, maybe because he had something to do. Let's not disturb him." Feng Yuxuan's face changed again and again. If everyone knew the truth, they would definitely not try to please him like they do now. They might even want to distance themselves from him for fear of offending the Cheng and Qi families.
No, absolutely not. At least I must hold on until these people become determined against me again.
Fortunately, Qi Yu went to chase Cheng Ye and had no time to waste on him. Feng Yuxuan's face turned pale, but he was secretly relieved that he had survived the disaster.
He still couldn't forget Qi Yu's last look at him, which was like a sharp sword piercing his heart.
At that moment, Feng Yuxuan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and all the blood in his body seemed to have frozen. Thinking about it now, he still felt a little scared. He never wanted to experience that feeling of being on the verge of death again in his life.
The playboy looked at Feng Yuxuan's expression and felt strange. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Feng Yuxuan.
Feng Yuxuan didn't want to mention Qi Yu. His legs started shaking unconsciously when he heard the name.
Feng Yuxuan lowered his head and smiled shyly: "Ah Xiu told me before that he would be very busy recently. I can't let his important matters be delayed because of his children's personal affairs."
The question mark in the dandy's heart had barely faded for a moment when he was immediately moved by Feng Yuxuan's "considerateness". He said enviously, "Yuxuan, you are so kind. Qi Yu is so lucky to marry you."
Feng Yuxuan pursed his lips, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes. After spending half a year together, he really liked Qi Yu, and he could sense Qi Yu's feelings for him. If Cheng Ye hadn't intervened, how could he and Qi Yu have become enemies?
His eyes moved, and his mind moved. He suddenly felt that Qi Yu must still like him, and was just temporarily angry because of his deception. As long as he calmed down and as long as he coaxed him well, they would definitely return to the way they were before.
Cheng Ye had only slept with Qi Yu, but she was Qi Yu's lover for half a year. Even if they fell in love over time, Qi Yu would definitely choose her.
He looked in the direction Qi Yu left, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.
As long as he works hard, he will definitely make Qi Yu love him again.
It was Cheng Xi's first time shopping. He was dazzled by the various gadgets on the bustling street and didn't know which to look at first. Cheng Ye had nothing to do, so he took him for a walk and bought him some small things that children like from time to time.
Although Cheng Xi refused verbally, Cheng Ye could see that he really wanted it deep down in his heart. After all, he was just a child.
After a while, both of them had their hands full of small toys.
Cheng Ye turned around and saw the red candied haws, which immediately stimulated his saliva. He bought a string and handed it to Cheng Xi. Unfortunately, Cheng Xi was holding him with one hand, and her other hand could not hold anything, so he could only shake his head in pain.
Cheng Ye: "It's okay, just let me go first and follow closely."
Cheng Xi's chubby face was tightly wrinkled and he shook his head even more violently.
Cheng Ye clearly felt that he was holding her hand very tightly, as if he was afraid that she would let him go.
Cheng Xi: "No, I don't want to eat."
Cheng Ye: "...You kid are lying. I saw you swallowing your saliva. If you don't want to eat it, stop staring at it! I won't take the opportunity to run away. What's wrong with letting go for a while?"
666 didn't say anything.
Cheng Ye looked at the candied haws in his hand, then at Cheng Xi's instantly changed bitter face, and compromised: "Okay, then if you don't want to eat it, I will eat it?"
“Gudong——”
Cheng Xi quickly closed her mouth and even wanted to cover her Adam's apple, her little face flushed red.
"Hahaha, Cheng Xi, just say you want to eat. Why should you be embarrassed in front of me?" After Cheng Ye finished speaking, he saw Cheng Xi's neck turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He laughed even more happily, almost laughing out loud.
Cheng Ye deliberately took a bite of the candied haws, chewing it loudly and exclaiming exaggeratedly, "It's so sour and sweet, so delicious!"
666: “…”
Cheng Xi's Adam's apple rolled up and down faster, and both eyes were shining.
Cheng Ye didn't dare tease the child too much, so he held the candied haws horizontally to the child's mouth. Seeing the child looking into his eyes in surprise, he smiled and said, "This way you don't have to let go."
The child looked at him, then at the candied haws, took a tentative bite, and the light in his eyes became even brighter.
Cheng Ye: "It's delicious, right?"
Cheng Xi nodded.
Looking at the truly pure and flawless light in the child's eyes, Cheng Ye felt that the nausea he had just felt when he met Feng Yuxuan had dissipated a lot, and his mood gradually improved.
Unfortunately, his happy mood did not last long because he saw Qi Yu.
