Xuan Feng was well aware that those below him outwardly obeyed but inwardly resented him.
But so what? It's normal for some people to be jealous and resentful of me for climbing to my current position in just over a year.
After all, when he first came here, he was on equal footing with them.
Xuan Feng glanced at the deep wind blade marks left on the wall, then headed towards the newly opened Treasure Pavilion.
He wanted to see if the people at this Treasure Pavilion had the audacity to rob the Tengshe clan of their protection money.
I've heard that this place is still Prince Yin's property. If that's true, then we're in for a good show.
Seeing the brightly lit shop inside, which was already preparing to close, he strode straight in.
Bailey recognized the person at a glance; this was the most popular figure in Beast King City recently.
Moreover, they were all adopted sons of the powerful Tengshe clan, beings whom these people dared not offend.
He quickly stepped forward with a smile: "Young Master Xuan, what brings you here? Is there something you'd like to buy?"
As soon as Xuan Feng stepped into the shop, a strange sense of familiarity washed over him.
Looking at the distinctive red pottery and the white soap placed on the outside, a face that haunted his dreams instantly appeared in his mind!
She picked up a small red ceramic bowl, gently caressing it, her eyes filled with tenderness.
If he hadn't been so down on his luck and so poor back then, perhaps he and You Ran would have a child by now.
Seeing that he was holding onto a ceramic bowl, Bailey said, "Young Master Xuan, if you like it, we can give you this ceramic bowl."
Upon suddenly hearing the shopkeeper's voice, Xuan Feng snapped out of his reverie.
Gently setting down the ceramic bowl, he asked, "What's your boss's name?"
Upon hearing this, Bailey's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to cause trouble?
However, if that's really the case, an ordinary person like him is definitely no match for him.
So he said, "Our boss is named Mu Youran, and her partner is the Hidden Prince!"
"She just gave birth to her baby this winter."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Feng's face lit up with a joyful smile!
It really was her!
He knew it! The shape of that wind blade looked so familiar. It turned out to be Ying Yao's!
These familiar pottery and soaps are clearly her work.
Suddenly, he remembered what the shopkeeper had said earlier and said in disbelief.
"You're saying her partner is the Hidden Prince?"
"That's right!"
Bailey was somewhat puzzled. Although many people did not know the name of the Hidden Prince's partner, most people in the entire Beast King City knew that the Hidden Prince had a partner.
Moreover, they had previously bought their own shop here together, so who else would they be if not their own boss?
"Oh!"
Xuan Feng gave a self-deprecating sneer, turned around and strode away from the Treasure Pavilion, wandering aimlessly through Beast King City.
He never expected that You Ran would have a partner again!
If I don't leave, then this partner's position will belong to him.
With so many partners around him, You Ran also wanted to squeeze in and occupy a small corner.
Let him stand openly by her side, protect her, cherish her, and just be able to see her every day is enough!
So it turns out that the rumored partner of the Hidden Prince that was all the rage on the day of the winter sacrifice to heaven was her!
If I had known it was her, I wouldn't have gone on any missions.
The moonlight shone down like water, and the street was very quiet. At this moment, his longing surged like a tidal wave.
Previously, he didn't know that You Ran was right beside him, and he was able to suppress his feelings with work.
But now that I know, I can no longer suppress it.
He longed to find You Ran right now and tell her about his feelings for her over the years.
Looking at her black animal skin dress and her somewhat frizzy hair, she immediately felt like backing down.
"No, no, it would be too embarrassing to go see her like this."
He needed to tidy himself up and present his best self to You Ran!
Thinking of this, the initial nervousness in his heart disappeared, leaving only anticipation for meeting tomorrow.
Back home, she immediately rummaged through her drawers and found the white silk she had always refused to wear, and made herself a dress that very night.
He then went to the river outside the Beast King City and used soap pods to wash himself thoroughly from head to toe.
Actually, there is water at home, but he was afraid that he was too dirty to wash properly, so he simply went outside to wash.
Having not slept all night, Xuan Feng counted all his savings from the past year in the cellar.
No more, no less, exactly the number he remembered. Looking at the ten large boxes full of seashells, he felt a little uneasy.
"Isn't this a bit too little?"
Thinking of this, he looked down at his white silk dress, wondering what You Ran would wear today, and whether his outfit was too extravagant.
It should be kept and given to her.
But apart from this dress, it seems like he can't wear anything else.
Just then, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, and he realized that it was already broad daylight.
I quickly washed up again, tidied my hair, and smiled knowingly at my reflection in the basin.
Confidently, he walked out of the courtyard and headed straight for the palace of Prince Gongyin, the Beast King.
Looking at the wide-open palace gates, he felt a little timid and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
I have no idea what to say when we meet.
His heart was pounding. He had been looking forward to this day for so long. He never imagined that they would be reunited after only a little over a year apart.
