"What is your plan right now?" Yao Huifang asked.
"Well... It seems the gathering material process will take quite so ti. I just took five days off from school. So, I plan to stay the remaining days here. If it takes longer than expectedI will have to return to school first and then co back after Madam Si has prepared everything." Bai Xifeng explained.
"I see. In that case, would you like to stay at my house again?" Yao Huifang offered.
"No..." Bai Xifeng refused the invitation imdiately, shaking her head with a firm look.
Yao Huifang laughed heartily. She already knew why Bai Xifeng did not want to stay at her house.
"I am sorry for the thing that you experienced in my house earlier." Yao Huifang apologised with a twinkle of amusent still in her eyes. Then, she continued. "I own an inn in the city. I can arrange for you to stay there."
"Oh... Really? Thank you." Bai Xifeng nodded gratefully.
This way, she did not need to worry about finding a place to stay for the night. Feeling relieved, she continued eating and eventually finished three bowls of fried rice. She even ordered another five bowls for takeout to bring with her later.
After finishing the fried rice, Yao Huifang excused themselves to return to their house. Zhang Mingzhu was clearly upset when she learned that Bai Xifeng would be following them back. The young girl pouted unhappily. After coaxing and comforting her for a little while, Zhang Mingzhu finally agreed to go ho with her mother.
Before leaving, Yao Huifang reminded Bai Xifeng to go to Mianxi Inn, as that was the inn she owned.
With so free ti left, Bai Xifeng decided to take the opportunity to walk around the city. The city was quite large and very prosperous. Many busy streets were lined with shops selling all kinds of goods. The lively atmosphere made the place feel vibrant and full of life.
As she walked along the street, she suddenly spotted a familiar signboard.
Shanghai Pavilion. This establishnt was indeed a franchise chain. Their branches seed to be everywhere. Seeing the familiar na, Bai Xifeng decided to step inside and take a look around.
When she entered the building, there were already many custors inside browsing the displayed items. So were carefully inspecting herbs and ingredients, while others were discussing purchases with the staff.
Several people noticed Bai Xifeng as soon as she stepped inside because of her outstanding appearance.
The custors were srised by her beauty, but the staff had a completely different reaction. They were surprised, almost shocked, when they saw her.
Why? Because they had seen her portrait before.
Their manager had ntioned this lady many tis while showing her portrait to the staff repeatedly. He had warned them that if this lady ever ca to their establishnt, they must treat her with the utmost respect.
It was because this lady was soone whom even their mysterious owner respected greatly. Naturally, none of them dared to offend such an important guest. They absolutely could not offend this lady and needed to treat her with absolute respect.
Realising who she was, the staff imdiately rushed forward with polite and friendly smiles.
"Welco, my lady." The staff greeted her respectfully.
"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng responded with a small nod.
"What are you looking for today, my lady?" The staff asked.
"I don’t have anything specific in mind. I just want to look around for a while." Bai Xifeng replied calmly.
"I see. Then please feel free to browse. If you find anything you like, please inform us." The staff said courteously.
"Sure." Bai Xifeng nodded again.
Bai Xifeng did not think too much about the staff’s unusually respectful attitude. Instead, she simply began observing the shop.
The first section she entered was the herbs section. She carefully examined the displayed herbs, wondering if there might be sothing interesting that could catch her attention.
Unfortunately, after looking through several shelves, she felt slightly disappointed. Nothing seed particularly special to her. So, she walked toward another section.
However, just as she was about to turn around, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped into her path.
Bai Xifeng calmly stepped aside, giving way to the middle-aged man.
However, the man also stepped to the side, blocking her path again. She tried moving again. Once again, the man followed her movent and blocked her way.
After this happened several tis, Bai Xifeng quickly realised that the middle-aged man was deliberately trying to ss with her.
"What do you want?" Bai Xifeng asked coldly.
"Young girl, tell , is there anything that you want from this shop? I will buy it for you." The middle-aged man said with a lewd grin as he looked at Bai Xifeng.
"If I want to buy sothing, I will buy it myself. There is no need for you to buy it for ." Bai Xifeng stated.
"The things here are expensive. I don’t think you can afford to buy them." The middle-aged man said mockingly.
"There is no need for you to worry about . You should be worrying about yourself instead." Bai Xifeng replied casually. Then she slowly looked the middle-aged man up and down. "From what I can see, you have been draining yourself in pleasure for far too long. If you continue like this, you might not end well."
Hearing Bai Xifeng speak so bluntly, the middle-aged man’s face imdiately flushed red with embarrassnt and anger.
"You girl! What nonsense are you talking about?" The middle-aged man scolded Bai Xifeng angrily.
Their argunt quickly attracted the attention of several nearby custors. Seeing that people were starting to watch, the middle-aged man suddenly decided to raise his voice.
