Amidst the ongoing verbal skirmish, Dong Huiying, having restored her usual appearance, spurred her horse alongside her two husbands into Nanling City.
She led the way ahead, and upon reaching the Nanling Food Is Heaven branch, she had just dismounted when she heard Zhu De’s sarcastic remarks mocking Sister Yang.
Dong Huiying adjusted her lapels, glanced back at her two husbands with a playful glint in her eyes, and winked at them before leisurely taking a step forward.
"May I ask if you are Zhu De?"
A light and lodious voice suddenly echoed, like the sound of heaven, akin to fairy music.
Those present were taken aback, "May I know who you are?" Zhu De looked at the newcor puzzled. This maiden, dressed in light purple spring wear, had short hair that looked quite unconventional yet very playful. Her skin was like congealed fat or snow, her eyebrows like distant mountain ranges, an absolute beauty of the century.
Only, the maiden’s build was not as robust and tall as Dayuan won; she rather seed very young, like fifteen or sixteen.
The maiden’s lips curled slightly, not hurried to reply. Behind her was a man in red, charming and alluring, exuding an intense aura. As the man in red approached, everyone present, except the maiden, held their breath.
Red clothes, red...
Sister Yang blinked, having so guesses in her heart, yet feeling incredulous. Nowadays, very few gentlen dared to wear red; after all, this bright red color was often categorized as vulgar. Outside of weddings or happy occasions, wearing red would certainly attract societal reproach and accusations of not adhering to traditional virtues, living unrestrained lives!
However,
Within the Huizi Store network, from substore owners to the shopkeepers and staff, all knew.
This red outfit was precisely a favorite of the renowned Third Master Liang. This fiery red seed to be the Third Master’s symbol!
And not long ago, Third Master had shown up in Lin City and could certainly have reached Nanling by now.
Shujun glanced at Zhu De with a half-smile: "You are quite arrogant. The last Zhu who dared to offend us was made to serve as a laborer in the mines and reportedly died miserably. Seems like the Master doesn’t particularly like people with the surna Zhu, especially those who dare ss around on Master’s grounds. Don’t know if they truly have strong backing or if they are tired of life and wish for the Master to give them a send-off!"
Zhu De was a bit confounded: "May I ask who exactly you three are?" She noticed another figure in white appearing behind Shujun, who glanced coldly in her direction, imdiately sending a chill down her spine.
But when this ethereal, high-cold man turned to look at the maiden, his eyes were filled with warmth. He took a handkerchief from his sleeve, gently wiping the slight sweat from the maiden’s forehead.
The maiden responded with a smile, a smile that instantly transford the tense and hostile atmosphere into one of tender affection.
Shujun chuckled: "You dare to cause trouble in the Master’s domain, yet don’t know who the Master is? The Master, unchanged in na or surna, is indeed the Dong family and Liang family’s Shujun of the Huizi Store!"
Imdiate gasps were heard.
The shopkeeper and this Sister Yang of Nanling quickly stood up to greet them hastily.
"Third Master!? Is it truly you???"
Shujun revealed a token, none other than the Blood Phoenix Hui Order.
Many in the Huizi Store, except for those of certain standing who had the fortune to et this mysterious big owner, knew Dong family by reputation for being outstandingly handso, nicknad God of Wealth, favoring red attire.
Yet there was no mistaking this Blood Phoenix Hui Order.
