Chapter 54 Whitening This report shocked Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi on the spot. The adjective "sloppy old man" was a bit stimulating to the two of them, and Feng Chi immediately asked what the sloppy old man looked like. The waiter gave a brief description, and when they heard about the wine gourd and the bright red rosacea, not to mention Feng Chi, even Xiang Lan'er's face turned pale. "The thief is in cahoots with the old man. Miss, it's not safe here anymore, we have to evacuate quickly." Feng Chi was in a panic, as if he was afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once. Xiang Lan'er was also a little flustered, but felt that her personal judgment at the time should not be wrong, so she asked the waiter for the details. When they heard the waiter say that Shi Chun turned around and ran away as soon as he saw the sloppy old man, and was caught by the sloppy old man, not only Xiang Lan'er but also Feng Chi breathed a sigh of relief and realized that they had lost their minds. The two calmed down and thought about it, and realized that even if the waiter didn't make the subsequent call, they could see the problem based on the previous report. If Shi Chun was really in cahoots with that sloppy old man, how could they be arguing in the street, let alone sitting together and drinking in public? Did they really think that they were blind? After realizing that Shi Chun was forced to do so, Xiang Lan'er asked, "Did the sloppy old man give him any trouble?" The waiter replied, "Probably not. They are in the lobby of the restaurant, eating, drinking and chatting. They seem to be having a good time." Feng Chi waved his hand and said, "Alright, keep watching and report back if there's any change."
"Yes." The guy took the order and left. After the door closed, Feng Chi said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. According to the new details we learned about that guy, he is really not a pushover. When he was just 20 years old, he became the boss of the exile area. He is very cunning, as can be seen from the tricks he used to redeem and sell people as soon as he came out. He should be able to deal with that sloppy old man. But just in case, Miss, we still have to evacuate from here." Judgment is just judgment after all. Nothing is absolute. There is no need to take risks if you have a choice. Xiang Lan nodded. The two of them evacuated the place. At the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter bowed and nodded to see the guests off. The sloppy old man, who had eaten and drunk his fill, turned back and scolded his waiter for looking down on him before leaving. After that, he said goodbye to Shi Chun. He said that he was full and wanted to go to bed. Shi Chun naturally would not try to keep him. After watching the guests go away, Shi Chun touched his stomach. The guests were full of food and drink, but he was only half full. He looked back at the restaurant sign. Should he go in and eat again? Seeing that guy who looked down on others smiling, God knows what he was thinking. Forget it, don't let people laugh at you, it will bring shame to the Land of Exile. After spitting out the alcohol, he continued shopping in a gentlemanly manner. He didn't dare to go back directly for fear of being spotted by the old man. After walking around for a while, a beautiful girl walked out from a street corner where he passed. The girl was dressed in a purple gauze dress, with distinct eyebrows and features. She had no eyebrows drawn, which were slightly sword-like. Her eyes were bright and lively, her nose was high and like a jade arch, her lips were a natural red color, she had a slight double chin, her features were clear and distinct, her skin was fair and flawless, she had a natural look with a bit of heroism, and also a bit of nobility. Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, neat and tidy, and she didn't wear any jewelry. Her figure is on the tall side among women, with the right amounts of plumpness and not too thinness. She is definitely a pretty girl, with a unique style that blends nobility and heroism. But the girl's bright eyes were fixed on Shi Chun's swaying back. A pretty and capable girl in green followed and whispered, "Miss, it's him. He is the Shi Chun. It is said that he just came out of the exile place." Just as he finished speaking, a round-faced girl in green came quickly and reported in a low voice, "Miss, Master Bian was refused entry to the sect and has knelt outside the mountain gate." The purple-dressed woman raised her lips in disdain and turned around and said, "No need to follow me. Find out who that sloppy old man who was drinking is." "Yes." The two girls in green responded in unison.
The woman in purple gauze clothes walked out and followed Shi Chun. When passing by a large open space used for mutual trade, Shi Chun discovered that the merchants were trading a blue plant that looked like a shrub. It had obviously been dried. The scale of the trading seemed to be quite large, with large piles of it appearing everywhere. He walked in, got close to a pile, sniffed, and smelled an indescribable rotten smell. Seeing that there was no intention to protect the site, he picked up a dry leaf and examined it in his hand. Just as he was about to ask someone what it was, a clear, sharp and pleasant female voice suddenly rang out from the side, "This thing is called 'Blue Bamboo', it grows in the canyon of the ice field, it emits a faint blue light at night, and Wu Kangshan often uses it to refine talismans." When Shi Chun heard the voice, he turned his head and looked the other person up and down. He saw that it was a woman in purple. Her voice was just like her appearance, without any affectation. Seeing her good looks, his eyes lit up, and then he politely bowed and thanked her, "Thank you for your guidance, young lady." At the same time, an interesting thing was discovered: when the nearby merchants saw the girl, they immediately stopped talking and all looked respectful. He immediately pointed to everyone's reaction and asked, "May I ask who the girl is?" The woman in purple gauze said, "Bian Weiying and Bian Weikang are my brothers. I will be in charge of Linkang City for the time being. Are you Shichun?" "..." Shi Chun was stunned. He heard Bian Weikang mention it on the way. Then he bowed again and said, "So you are the city lord. I am so sorry. I am Shi Chun." Bian Weiying said, "I can see that this is your first time here. I just happened to be on patrol here, so I can walk with you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Well, on someone else's territory, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Besides, Shi Chun also wanted to know what the other party wanted to do, which was better than making a fuss later. The two walked and chatted, attracting the attention of many people. Bian Weiying was obviously not just playing the role of a good host, she did not hide it, and directly asked Shi Chun why he wanted to help redeem the top card of Liyunlou, and the purpose of their visit. What could Shi Chun say? He could only be vague and push everything onto Bian Weikang, saying that it was Bian Weikang who called him over. Soon, the news of their meeting spread to an attic in the city, which was Lan'er and Fengchi's temporary hiding place. "What's going on with this guy? He's unfamiliar with the place and he's new here, so why is he busier than us? Why did even Bian Weiying go looking for him?" Feng Chi expressed great surprise. Xiang Lan'er also frowned in confusion. In fact, Shi Chun himself had no idea what Bian Weiying was trying to do, and he just dealt with it perfunctorily all the way. He felt uncomfortable, but he did not lose his composure. Just when both of them thought there was no need to continue chatting, Shi Chun suddenly stopped at the door of a shop. Seeing the word "whitening" on the sign at the door, he walked in to take a look. Upon asking, I found out that the so-called whitening product refers to pearl powder with some magical effects added. "Will it really work? Lord Bian is here, you can't lie to me." Shi Chun unceremoniously brought up Bian Weiying to scare the merchants. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "I can't believe it's fake. It must have some effect." Bian Weiying couldn't help but ask Shi Chun, "Do you want to use this for whitening?" Shi Chun waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have a friend who needs it." Bian Weiying subconsciously glanced at his dark complexion, but said nothing more. After asking about the price and how to use it, Shi Chun made the decision on the spot: "Boss, give me two kilograms." Bian Weiying twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Wow, this thing is bought by weight."
The shopkeeper naturally cheered, and not only did he quickly weigh out the full amount, he also gave more to give the city lord face. The transaction was finally concluded with a handful of sandalwood gold. Shi Chun didn't mind spending this little money, as he had bank notes that could cash out 50,000 yuan. After leaving the shop, Bian Weiying had no intention of accompanying him any longer, so he left, making an excuse that he had something to do. Shi Chun watched him leave, but she held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. When she was spending a lot of money just now, she actually wanted to ask the other party if he was willing to help her brother pay back the money. After that, he didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to the inn. I wanted to find Xiang Lan'er to warn her that a sloppy old master had arrived and to tell her to be careful, but when I knocked on the door no one responded and the innkeeper said the man had gone out. "Let me know when you come back." Shi Chun said this and went back to his room. As soon as the door was closed, she immediately opened the pearl powder she had bought, took a portion of it and mixed it with water, then sat in front of the mirror and smeared the paste on her face, muttering something like "the whiter, the more elegant" as she did so. After painting a scary white face, he felt that the two black ears were too conspicuous, so he didn't let them go. After finishing all this, I had nothing to do, so I took out the book "Lantern of Mountains and Seas" from my bag and started reading it. After looking for a while, he suddenly stood up after seeing something exciting, muttering, "I wish to meet you at the edge of the sky... I realized that this is the most elegant way to say it, I wish to meet you at the edge of the sky..." After walking back and forth in the room several times, he walked to the mirror again and said to himself in the mirror, "I would like to go hunting with you in a certain place. Do you dare?" As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened by magic, and two figures rushed in one after another and closed the door. It was none other than Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi who came. Shi Chun, who was holding a book, was stunned. She wanted to ask them why they came in without knocking. Aren't people from outsiders said to have high quality? When the two women saw him, they subconsciously became alert at first, and then they were all stunned, staring blankly at Shi Chun's pale face. "Madam boss, you are still alive, you have to be careful..." Shi Chun hurriedly stepped forward to inform the sloppy old man that he was following her, trying to divert the attention. Well, this proactive confession put the two women at ease. But what the two of them were most concerned about was his face. Feng Chi asked, "What's wrong with your face?" Shi Chun: "Nothing, just took some medicine." Xiang Lan'er asked, "Did that old man slap you in the face?" Shi Chun: "No, there is a little crack on my face. I just happened to meet a medicine seller in the city. Oh, don't talk about me. How is Bian Weikang? I was just found by his sister and was questioned." (End of this chapter)
