Moreover, Zhang He and Murong Pei seem to get along quite well.
Zhang He was as gentle and refined as jade, and Murong Pei was as beautiful as a painting; they were truly a feast for the eyes.
"However, these people are clearly from the First Madam's side. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
During this period, the two went their separate ways, and A-Jiang didn't suffer any losses, nor did the First Madam fare any better. Overall, it was all minor squabbles, which led to A-Jiang becoming less wary of her.
"She intends to marry me into a prestigious family so that I will be useful. She probably won't harm me at this time. Even if there is a risk, it is relatively small."
A-Jiang quickly analyzed the impact of this trip in his mind.
She felt that even if the First Madam wanted to set a trap for her, it shouldn't be too outrageous; at most, she would use a weakness against her for future blackmail.
She believed she could handle it.
"Let's see what tricks she has up her sleeve."
Having thought all this through, Bai Chongjiang returned to her courtyard with light steps.
When Magikarp saw her return, he happily jumped out of the water.
"Let's go out and have some fun together."
Then I put Magikarp into my spirit bag.
Back in his room, Ah Jiang was a little conflicted for the first time about what to wear when going out.
During this time, Zhang made her many clothes, but she found them to be vulgar and gaudy, and very unsuitable for her.
Finally, Ah Jiang chose a light green dress, changed into it, and went out.
When they returned to Xiyue Hall, Zhang Xuan'er was already back, pouting and looking unhappy.
"Doesn't Furong have time?"
A-Jiang asked, actually she really wanted Bai Furong to come along, since she didn't know any of these people.
"Fourth Sister went out. I told her before, and Brother Pei even made time to come."
"Xuan'er, stop talking. Furong must have left because of something important. Now that Third Sister is here, let's go."
Murong Pei's handsome face remained expressionless, but a hint of disappointment could be seen in his eyes, which dimmed slightly in an instant.
"What is the relationship between this Young Master Murong and Bai Furong?" A-Jiang wondered.
"I think he's just an ordinary person without any cultivation, and Bai Furong has been cultivating outside and only recently returned home. Are teenagers really in love?"
A-Jiang considered several possibilities, but felt that Bai Furong didn't seem like the type to be obsessed with men.
Bai Chongjiang smiled and stopped thinking about it. The four of them left the Bai residence together.
Meanwhile, Bai Furong was throwing a tantrum at Zhang Shi.
"Mother, why did you do this!"
"You have the nerve to ask me? They've come knocking on our door. If I don't let that brat deal with them, do you expect me to go?"
"Mother, with my cousins with us, what are you worried about?"
"Hmph, you're my child, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Bai Furong sat slumped to the side, knowing she couldn't fool her mother.
Madam Zhang came to her daughter's side, sighed, and patiently advised, "I've been through this before, so I know how popular a boy like Murong Pei is with girls. But you two are destined to be on different paths, and there's no future for you."
"Mother, Brother Pei is such a good person...why doesn't he have spiritual roots?"
"Don't think so much. Focus on your cultivation, even at home. Now that you're a formal disciple of the Yaoguang Sect, how could you possibly be less talented than Murong Pei when you meet others?"
Bai Furong remained silent.
“Furong, listen to your mother. The most important thing for a girl is to find a capable husband. Cultivating immortality is so difficult, and girls are naturally weak. How can you really compete with those who risk their lives to snatch a tiny opportunity? Even if you achieve success in your cultivation, there are always people more capable than you and mountains beyond mountains. If you accidentally offend a powerful figure, you won’t even know how you died.”
She took Bai Furong's hand and said, "Your future husband should at least be at the Golden Core stage. If he becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, you can consider taking him as a concubine. At that time, you can simply wave your hand and have countless cultivation resources and countless cultivators at your beck and call. That will be true comfort."
Bai Furong was just a teenage girl. Although her mother's words did not suit her wishes, she still listened to some of them.
Which girl doesn't fantasize about her future husband being both strong and gentle? And who would really be willing to risk their life in a dangerous place?
He nodded silently and returned to his room.
The four of them left the Bai residence and strolled around until they came to an inconspicuous alley.
Zhang He took out a jade talisman and stuck it on a wall. Then, ripples appeared on the wall, and the four of them were teleported to a huge archway.
Crossing the archway, they entered the market, and A-Jiang was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
Before us stretched a road at least ten zhang wide, with all sorts of buildings on both sides, ranging from ordinary three-story buildings to towering pavilions over ten zhang high, a truly breathtaking sight.
What's even more dazzling is the various lights flowing in the air, and flying magical artifacts of different shapes shuttle through the air at different heights. Some look like small boats, some like flying shuttles, and there are all kinds of immortal swords, magical treasures and immortal artifacts. It's truly an eye-opener.
"Heh heh, you're stunned, aren't you!" Zhang Xuan'er laughed at her from the side.
“This Immortal Alliance Market is the largest market in the entire Great Xia Dynasty,” Zhang He introduced.
Then they continued walking in, and along the way there were many cultivators who drove monsters to pull carts or rode monsters directly.
Just then, a tall, monstrous beast approached. It resembled an ox, with a bluish-black body, but was three times the size of an ordinary ox. Its eyes were round and bulging, as big as bowls, with distinct black and white. A copper ring hung on its nose, and every few steps it would exhale a white mist. Upon closer inspection, it was even more terrifying.
