Chapter 21-021 Shopping and Eating
Song Chi and Mo Feiyun went down the mountain and first had a meal at Xianyunzhai. The price was probably very high, as Xianyunzhai is one of the most famous restaurants in Baijiang City.
However, Mo Feiyun simply flicked a token through his sleeve, and the serving lady immediately beamed and addressed him as Sixth Young Master. The dishes that followed were served with even greater care.
Seeing her curious expression, Mo Feiyun added an explanation: "Xianyunzhai is a property of the Mo family."
Song Chi immediately understood. This was the pomp and circumstance of a wealthy young master; the Mo family was indeed a prestigious family in the southeast, one of the eight great cultivation families.
Mo Feiyun wasn't actually the tragic, resentful character Song Chi had initially guessed. This young man simply couldn't stand the atmosphere of his parents' seemingly perfect marriage, a respectful and harmonious relationship, yet each harboring their own secret loves. Ultimately, after his father took his beloved as a concubine, he ran away from home. Alone, he traveled thousands of miles across the southern tip of the Eastern Continent to become a disciple of the Azure Sword Sect.
Venerable Yuheng was an old friend of Mo Feiyun's mother.
When Song Chi sought to become a disciple, he saw Mo Feiyun's weathered appearance and slightly worn white robes. It was because the boy had encountered a maze and struggled to escape, even losing his storage ring in the process. Because of his filthy appearance, he had pawned it as a jade pendant and bought a new set of clothes from a roadside vendor before coming to the sect to become a disciple.
The random thoughts that occupied her mind at the time were completely unfounded. This man wasn't some tragic, down-on-his-luck nobleman; he was still exceptionally valuable.
As for the opulence of Xianyunzhai, Song Chi wasn't intimidated. Moreover, Mo Feiyun probably knew she loved meat, so there were seven or eight dishes entirely made of meat, with only two pots of herbs. Those two pots of herbs tasted quite refreshing, and she liked them both.
So she didn't hold back and ate very comfortably.
After finishing my meal, I had a small cup of tea. Fireworks began to light up the streets of Baijiang, bringing the whole city to life. The Lantern Festival had officially begun.
Mo Feiyun stood up, turned to face the window, and waited.
Song Chi understood this. This was a custom in the cultivation world; when his parents went out for a meal, his father would turn his back to the window so his mother could touch up her makeup.
Mo Feiyun gave her time to touch up her makeup, but she didn't need to touch up her makeup at all.
Therefore, when Mo Feiyun saw that she did not move, he turned his head to look at her in confusion.
"I don't have any cosmetics; the lip rouge was lent to me by Senior Sister Xi Ya." It was applied for me. She gave all the face powder her family sent her to Senior Sister An Yu; she really didn't have any.
Mo Feiyun nodded upon hearing this.
Then the two went downstairs, and after walking only two blocks, good heavens, Mo Feiyun took her to Yunxiangyuan, the best cosmetics shop in the city. And this kid even knew to compare her complexion and picked out two sets of cosmetics.
Moreover, the price isn't expensive, but it's definitely not cheap either. In any case, Song Chi's several thousand mid-grade spirit stones definitely couldn't afford even one of these sets.
Song Chi said she didn't need cosmetics, and Mo Feiyun didn't care, instructing the steward to pack them up. He deliberately left a box of lip rouge out of the package before handing it over. Then he turned to look out the window again.
Since they were in a private booth on the second floor, there was no one else around. Mo Feiyun's demeanor allowed her time to touch up her makeup.
Song Chi was speechless. But at least he gave her some face and applied the lip rouge. It was similar in color to her previous lipstick.
Mo Feiyun then turned and glanced at her before quickly looking away. The two went downstairs, and after crossing a street, Mo Feiyun unexpectedly led her to Baofeng Tower.
But it was a jewelry store.
I guess it was because her hair was only adorned with a single plum blossom-patterned gold hairpin, making it look too plain. So this guy decided to unleash his domineering CEO style as a noble young master—buy, buy, buy!
In the book, Mo Feiyun did indeed buy perfume and hairpins for the original owner.
As soon as Mo Feiyun entered Baofeng Tower, he glanced at her hairstyle again and ordered a set of gold hairpins with butterflies to match her hairstyle, along with several beautiful gold plum blossom ornaments. Then he bought a set of jewelry to match the simple colors of the fan inlaid with pearls and jade. She should know that she likes to wear white.
To be honest, the two sets of jewelry he chose really suited Song Chi's aesthetic. And they weren't particularly expensive either. They weren't defensive pieces with added magical effects. Those were too expensive; Song Chi wouldn't have agreed to let him buy them.
Therefore, she accepted the two sets as a gesture of respect to the CEO.
However, Mo Feiyun turned his back to the window with his fan in hand, and only after Song Chi picked out two small flower ornaments to put in her hair did he turn around and go downstairs with her.
To be honest, Mo Feiyun's quiet nature is quite pleasant.
The original owner's choice was indeed correct. If Mo Feiyun hadn't been so clearly written in the book, his tender heart devoted solely to the female lead, and his exceptionally devoted love, Song Chi felt that if she had to find a partner, someone like Mo Feiyun would be quite good. The two of them could live a peaceful and comfortable life together.
But there are so many "what ifs".
Soon after, under the dazzling lanterns blooming in the ten-mile plum grove by the Baijiang River, they will encounter Immortal Master Mo Shubai and the female lead Cui Xueruo, who are on their way to see the lanterns together.
Mo Feiyun's heart would be filled with sorrow, and she would remain silent all the way.
Song Chi is now a little worried that she might not be very sad or upset. Therefore, today's whole thing was an absolutely outrageous idea. Not only will she not get the emotional support she deserves, but it might also bring unnecessary trouble caused by gossip.
Mo Shu watched as two figures, one in green and one in purple, gradually blended into the crowd amidst the fluttering plum blossoms and the red glow of the lamplight.
Unconsciously, he slowly revealed his figure. Of course, this was just a coincidence; it just so happened that these two were taking the path he wanted to take.
So it was quite a coincidence that I accidentally saw the whole thing.
I was worried that Ye Qingyu and his friends would ruin this perfectly good date. But to my surprise, Su Yu and his two companions, instead of helping Ye Qingyu and his friends steal their girlfriends before, became their protectors this time.
The serene companionship of those two created a profound sense of peace, making it a place one couldn't bear to disturb!
However, the two were not particularly sweet or affectionate; in fact, they were mostly silent the whole way, only occasionally exchanging glances.
They wandered around various shops, each looking at what they liked.
Even at the cosmetics shop, when the Mo family brat picked out cosmetics, Song Chi readily accepted. The same thing happened at the jewelry shop.
Those who don't understand might assume that the two are childhood sweethearts who have known each other for a long time, or perhaps... they have been married for many years, and their relationship is just exceptionally peaceful and serene.
Even as they walked among the crowds admiring the lanterns, the two appeared quite relaxed. Of course, the young man from the Mo family was somewhat wary of those lurking in the shadows.
Unaware of the situation, Song Chi appeared completely relaxed, clutching a jade-bone fan behind his back. His gaze swept across the roadside vendors with a glint of light, or he would tilt his head back slightly, close his eyes, and let the plum blossoms blown by the wind fly down his cheeks, before giving a slight smile.
That smile was utterly serene and peaceful.
She may not know that this might be the reason why those boys were attracted to her.
Even Shen Wenyan, who had just revealed himself, wore an approving expression. "That child is refined and otherworldly, with a rare and precious character."
This person was probably instructed by Venerable Tonghua to try and steal Ye Qingyu's girlfriend. Of course, Mo Shubai did try to stop them along the way.
The two had booked the Plum Blossom Pavilion, which was located by the Baijiang River. Meanwhile, Song Chiyu was pointing at the painted boats on the lake and asking a question.
"How about we take a boat?"
Mo Feiyun immediately waved to an exquisite red-lacquered painted boat, which quickly approached the shore.
Thus, their seats on the second floor of Meiying Pavilion offered a panoramic view of Baijiang Lake. The two then suggested going upstairs for a drink.
They walked a few steps together, but had not yet reached Plum Shadow Pavilion.
"Immortal Master!" A soft, shy voice came from behind.
Then, a woman in pink robes, with an exceptionally beautiful face, emerged from the plum grove, her figure fluttering in the wind.
But who else could it be but Cui Xue Ruo? Her surprised, shy, yet courageous gaze almost made Mo Shu Bai take a step back.
"Since Brother Shubai made an appointment..." Shen Wenyan said this as he watched the beautiful princess from the Yunji Holy Land arrive, her face flushed with embarrassment.
He finally shut his mouth under his friend's pleading gaze. Shen Wenyan sighed inwardly; this man had indeed had a difficult time. Five years ago, Fairy Yilan almost suffered a qi deviation because of him, her cultivation even dropping a whole realm. If it weren't for the protection of the secret medicine from the Cloud Pavilion Holy Land, she would have likely perished. Therefore, in recent years, Brother Shubai had been somewhat melancholy, avoiding almost all women, and even replacing all the servants around him with male disciples.
His ethereal and jade-like appearance, even with his icy heart, couldn't stop women from falling head over heels for him.
Ordinary female disciples, constrained by their qualifications and status, only dared to harbor feelings in secret. This one from the Cloud Pavilion Holy Land was clearly different.
And compared to her aunt, Fairy Yilan, who only dared to hide her love in her heart and treat Brother Shubai as a friend, this seventeen-year-old girl before her had a more passionate and direct affection, and she showed great courage.
"The immortal masters are over there, Senior Brother Mo."
As Shen Wenyan and the other two walked toward Meiying Pavilion, they heard Song Chi's faint voice from the lakeside reminding them.
Her gaze swept over Mo Shubai and Cui Xueruo, then glanced at Mo Feiyun.
Although that gaze was truly calm, Shen Wenyan had a strange feeling that this child was probably overthinking things.
Of course, Shu Bai's slightly awkward appearance made Shen Wenyan smile. You've finally met your match!
Cui Xue's face, as delicate as a begonia blossom, was flushed with intoxication, and she practically fled into the Plum Blossom Pavilion. But even so shy, she couldn't bear to miss this beautiful moment and this chance encounter.
Brother Shubai, I'm afraid things will get difficult for you next.
"The boat has arrived, Junior Sister Song."
At Mo Feiyun's urging, Song Chi jumped onto the boat first and reached out to pull her.
She didn't need him to pull her up; she easily jumped onto the boat and sat down.
The boat wasn't large, only seating four people, but it was quite nicely furnished; the tables and chairs, covered in light green brocade, were elegant and comfortable. The boatman was rowing at the bow when a young girl placed a pot of wine for the two of them and then went to the bow as well.
