"What kind of things are in this gift package? The quality is so poor! Why is this soap constantly bubbling? And these clothes, how can you sell such rough and outdated stuff? Even our servants don't wear this kind of stuff, and you're selling it as a treasure? You have no taste!" A particularly jarring voice rang out from the noisy crowd.
Zhu Yi had anticipated this; with business thriving, trouble was bound to come.
However, in the cultivation world where the commodity economy is not so developed, Zhu Yi really couldn't imagine who would have the leisure to cause trouble.
In front of Miaomiao Department Store's stall, a woman in pink held up a bar of soap and questioned Xue Shan with a disdainful look. Even though Xue Shan had demonstrated the correct way to use the soap and patiently explained the fun thing about soap making bubbles when it comes into contact with water, the woman still wouldn't buy it.
Beneath Su Nuo's handsome face lay a silent astonishment at Zhu Yi.
He and Zhu Yi had a very pleasant conversation. Zhu Yi helped him come up with several interesting ideas. When he got back, he could use the Jade Spirit to start a column, write about good products, gain customers' favor, and thus promote their purchases.
The noise interrupted his thoughts, which were about to be spoken. Looking into the distance, the woman in pink seemed quite troublesome with her domineering manner. Su Nuo's expression was a bit strange. "Junior Sister Zhu Yi, the other party doesn't seem to be... a fellow disciple of Tianlan Sect."
Zhu Yi raised an eyebrow. She was watching how Xue Shan would neutralize the opponent's moves when Su Nuo's words really piqued her interest.
"Not from our sect? Which sect are you from?"
"This..." Businessmen like to leave things unsaid, so Su Nuo pretended to be hesitant. "Actually, this is just a guess. Look at her clothes. Although the style is similar to the clothes of the Tianlan Sect disciples, there are slight differences in the patterns on the edges of the clothes. She has a lotus totem on her waist."
Lotus totem? In my memory, the Zhu family crest is the lotus, and Zhu Qianying always wore various lotus accessories to show her noble status.
Upon closer inspection, Zhu Yi noticed that the woman's clothing was indeed rather understated, not particularly eye-catching, and would be completely unrecognizable to those who didn't know its value.
Su Nuo said softly, "Our Immortal Treasure Pavilion only sells the finest Moon Essence Mermaid Silk to customers of high status."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Su. I'll tell you next time I come up with some ideas to get rich!" Zhu Yi clapped her hands, indicating that she was itching to go out and bite someone!
“Fellow Daoist, we must speak reasonably. You may not like our Mortal World Gift Pack and you may have different opinions, but isn’t it a bit unreasonable and domineering of you to ignore our product introduction?” Xue Shan was slightly angry, but she suppressed her displeasure and reasoned with the woman in pink.
“This soap is intended for our fellow disciples to use as cleaning supplies when they travel to the mortal world. It is more complicated to make than ordinary soap. How can it last long if you keep rubbing it in water to make it lather?”
Xue Shan remained composed and was not intimidated by the woman's domineering manner.
"I don't care, your stuff is absolutely awful, I don't like it!" the person persisted.
Xue Shan didn't indulge her: "As the saying goes, it's impossible to please everyone. Our Meow Meow Department Store's mortal world gift pack is only designed to meet everyone's basic travel needs. Therefore, the clothes we select are all reasonably priced, practical, and durable for traveling in the mortal world. If the fairy wants anything else, she can go and look elsewhere."
Xue Shan pointed with her delicate hand to the stalls of Xianzhen Pavilion and Youbaoku on either side of the stall. Her poised and generous reaction drew cheers from the surrounding fellow disciples who were watching the spectacle.
"They're right. If you need something else, go buy it elsewhere. Don't block everyone's way and waste their time. I'm waiting to buy the gift package I reserved!"
Zhu Luoying's lips trembled with anger. She pointed at Xue Shan but couldn't say anything else. The main reason was that too many people around her were looking at her strangely. The eldest daughter of the Zhu family was always the center of attention. Why was she being looked at with such ridicule by others?
"I don't care, where is Zhu Yi? I've already found out that all this mess was caused by Zhu Yi. How dare she try to kill her own sister? Doesn't she have the guts to go back to the Zhu family and be punished?" Her voice was sharp and shrill, and she spoke without any restraint.
Zhu Yi was puzzled, "If the Zhu family wants to punish me, why don't they send someone with a brain to embarrass themselves?"
"Hmph, Junior Sister Zhu Yi is joking. No noble family would allow its children to cause trouble outside for no reason. I'm afraid this one ran away." Su Nuo's cold tone revealed her familiarity with the rules of these great families, and unconsciously exuded an air of arrogance.
Zhu Yi had no idea what Su Nuo was being so arrogant about, nor did she remember who this member of the Zhu family who had come to cause trouble was.
"Senior Brother? You're here to buy the gift package too?" Mu Yu's tall figure was quite noticeable in the tense crowd.
Many of the fellow disciples of the Tianlan Sect were somewhat intimidated and awe-inspiring towards their sect's senior brother.
Therefore, Mu Yu's appearance was easily noticed by everyone.
Wearing a plain white Taoist robe, Mu Yu walked towards the rising sun, passing through the crowd and heading straight for Xue Shan. His clear and gentle voice seemed to ignore the farce that had just occurred to him as he said softly, "Master Meow Meow, give me a mortal gift package as well."
