Li Tianyan finished the bill and presented the document to the people who were present. Cheng Si’s face turned red and white. Li Tianyan had the document from Laibao Pavilion in his hand, making today feel like another slap to her face.

“Young Master Mu, what do you think of this sword? Let me wrap it up for you.” The shopkeeper, excited about today’s income, saw Li Tianyan leaving the store and asked Mu Nanfeng with a smile.

Li Tianyan spent 70,000 to buy two items, so Mu Nanfeng should have more than enough to buy this sword. The shopkeeper rubbed his palms, thinking of today’s earnings.

Unexpectedly, Mu Nanfeng’s face darkened, and he said in disgust, “Who said I wanted to buy it? It’s all flashy and showy.”

Mu Nanfeng couldn’t bring himself to ask the shopkeeper for credit after Li Tianyan made such a scene. He glanced at the sword on the table and then left Laibao Pavilion with Cheng Si.

“Hey!” Shopkeeper Feng looked at the two people who suddenly changed their minds and left. He was still a little confused. Mu Nanfeng had clearly wanted to buy this sword just now, so why did he back out so easily?

.

After leaving Laibao Pavilion, Cheng Qi touched the dagger in his hand like a treasure. He then pretended to put the dagger into the pocket in front of him, but it was already hidden in the storage bag in his pocket.

“Let’s go, head to the medicine hall first, and then find a place to eat.” Li Tianyan said, taking Cheng Qi’s hand. This was the second time today he had initiated contact with Cheng Qi, creating a strange feeling in his heart.

Li Tianyan followed Cheng Qi’s gaze and looked at their intertwined hands, realizing he had unknowingly gotten used to this action. He coughed lightly and explained, “There are many people in the city; don’t get lost.”

“Oh,” Cheng Qi nodded obediently, walking closely beside Li Tianyan.

Li Wu, following them, had a sour look on his face. No matter how many people were on the street, it was not crowded, right? Young master, what kind of worries did you have? And young master, did you really need to be so cautious? The surrounding roads were quite wide.

There were originally many people paying attention to Li Tianyan on the street, but now they saw him and the couple walking affectionately together. Some thought he was driven crazy by the separation from Li Mansion.

Cheng Si looked at the two from a distance, her face full of unwillingness when she thought of the dagger Li Tianyan bought for Cheng Qi. Once she had taken a fancy to the Jingtai hairpin, Li Tianyan would buy it for her without hesitation. Unexpectedly, now he was so generous to that ugly monster.

“Let’s go,” Mu Nanfeng remembered his appointment with Ren Chijing and the others in the teahouse and turned to Cheng Si.

Cheng Si suddenly lost interest, forced a smile to Mu Nanfeng, and said, “Brother Mu, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you to the teahouse.”

“Then I’ll send you off first,” Mu Nanfeng felt a little unhappy but maintained his demeanor.

“No need, Brother Mu, I can just go back by myself,” Cheng Si shook her head and left alone.

After seeing Li Tianyan today, Cheng Si realized that even Mu Nanfeng, whom she had previously favored, was a bit unimpressive. Li Tianyan was already outstanding in appearance, and now his qualifications had been made up for. If he hadn’t left the Li Mansion, he would be no less inferior to the children of these aristocratic families in Jincheng.

What was more important was his affection. Even if he married an ugly shuanger like Cheng Qi, Li Tianyan never glanced at her. Mu Nanfeng stared at Cheng Qi’s intact right face for a long time that day. The sense of loss in Cheng Si’s heart was heavier.

.

“Sir, this is your list of medicinal materials, totaling 4,372 taels of silver. Please settle the bill first,” the shopkeeper of Ji Medicine Hall handed a bill of medicinal materials to Li Tianyan.

“Shopkeeper, what do you mean? The medicinal materials haven’t been collected yet. Why are you thinking about taking the money?” Li Wu, seeing the shopkeeper eager to settle the accounts, said angrily.

Li Tianyan didn’t mind the shopkeeper’s attitude. He took the bill and looked at it carefully.

“Don’t be angry, little brother. The medicine list prescribed by your young master is almost all semi-spiritual herbs that are nearly a hundred years old. Our medicine hall is only a small business, so we have to explain the price clearly to the customers first,” the shopkeeper explained tactfully.

“Li Tianyan, we are really enemies.” Jian Yuhao, sitting in the teahouse and looking down through the second-floor window, saw Li Tianyan in the medicine hall opposite, and his face contorted with hatred for a moment.

Ever since he was injured by Li Tianyan in the street last time, he became the laughing stock of the entire Jincheng City. Those with a bad relationship with him liked to use this matter to ridicule him whenever they saw him. Jian Yuhao gritted his teeth with hatred, “He was being kicked out by the Li family, but he still has the nerve to show up in Jincheng.”

“Although Li Tianyan left the Li family, he embraced the Guan family. The place where he lives now is the Guan family’s territory,” Hong Tao smiled, feeling envious of Li Tianyan’s good luck.

On the day of the birthday banquet, many Jincheng aristocratic families could only sit in the outer hall. Naturally, they did not see Guan Haoran and Li Tianyan sitting at the same table. However, Hong Tao saw clearly and even felt that Guan Haoran’s behavior was somewhat meant to please Li Tianyan. He didn’t know where this abandoned young master of the Li family caught Young Master Guan’s eyes.
