Although, does it seem quite anticipated?

He Wenyu looked at the token in his hand, feeling hesitant for a moment: "What should I say? This girl seems to be the fifth young miss of the Great Scholar’s Family. Shouldn’t we avoid offending her?"

"You’re overthinking it; strength commands respect, they’re the ones who dare not offend you." Luo Qianqian said calmly, curling her lips as she gazed towards the window, but all she could see was the dappled shadows of trees: "So just treat it as relaxing, don’t be too suppressed. If you have something to do, you won’t be that bored, right? You can also meet some companions, they wouldn’t dare do anything to you."

He Wenyu was momentarily stunned but then shook his head, smiling calmly: "I’m not bored, you know that my hobby is making delicious food. Even if I’m not in Nine Heavens Pavilion chatting with the sisters, isn’t there still you? How could I be bored?"

"Speaking of delicious food... you could actually open a dessert-making class, teach some simple things, it wouldn’t affect us anyway." Luo Qianqian laughed again: "After all, you are part of Nine Heavens Pavilion, have ideas and you should propose them for better development of Nine Heavens Pavilion."

"Speaking of that, Shiqi, shouldn’t we both be ’recovering,’ staying away from all sorts of activities?" Huangfu Yihui, watching Luo Qianqian whose eyes emitted radiant brilliance, couldn’t help but remind: "You’ve ’spit blood,’ so no matter what courses there are, you can’t participate."

"...You have ’internal injuries’ too." Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrow in a provocative manner: "So don’t think about strutting, it’s not your turn."

"Are you kidding? Would I want to dance some weird dance? A man of great stature..." Huangfu Yihui looked at He Wenyu’s plaintive eyes and swallowed his words, changing his tone: "After all, those dances are suitable for pretty girls. As grown men, those aren’t duck counts but frog counts..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He Wenyu rolled his eyes, wasn’t it just that he didn’t want to open that dance class with her? Pulling nonsense, others might think it makes sense.

"Also, Brother Zhuzi, you’re ’injured’ too, don’t expose your healthy body for nothing." Luo Qianqian looked towards Bai Yizhu on the side and was stunned by the red ribbon on his shoulder, then turned to He Wenyu: "So what is that exactly? It’s not some lucky charm, is it?"

"Uh... Got it from Divine Doctor, said it’s something good." He Wenyu was surprised, hurriedly said: "But, it doesn’t seem to stop bleeding..."

"Nonsense, how would I foresee you’d pull this stunt? Still need injuries? That ribbon is imbued with a potion to counteract toxic gas." Yan had already applied ointment on Bai Yizhu and bandaged him, not forgetting to roll his eyes at Luo Qianqian, such antics only a regular dramatist could conceive!

Luo Qianqian looked down guilty, fortunate for Huangfu Yihui’s control, or wouldn’t it just be superficial injury?

If it was her acting, there’s no need to guess, it would surely be much more severe.

"It’s good for Xiao Yu to go out a bit, those noble girls are also good for information dissemination, Shiqi planning to feign illness isn’t a bad spread method either." Luo Shufan brought the conversation back around.

If left to these people with free imaginations, they might be researching what to eat later soon.

"So, how should I tell her?" After hearing Luo Shufan’s words, He Wenyu pondered briefly before nodding resolutely: "Shall I say tomorrow evening I’ll be at Southern Li’s Forget Worries Tea House for guidance?"

"Sure, do as you see fit." Luo Qianqian gave He Wenyu a gentle smile, then looked at Luo Shufan standing nearby: "Brother, haven’t you checked on Brother Jiayou yet, don’t forget to investigate this time as he didn’t show up."

"Already investigating." Luo Shufan nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. After all, Lin Jiayou sometimes acts more freely, doing whatever he thinks of, catching people unprepared.

"I’m off then." He Wenyu picked up the token and left the room, arriving at the entrance, seeing Du Yuwei still anxiously waiting at the door, with a carriage parked not far away.

"Tomorrow at sunset, I’ll wait for you at Forget Worries Tea House, you can bring others interested, here you go." Returning the token to Du Yuwei, He Wenyu lightly nodded, his undeniable tone left Du Yuwei without suspicion, nodding repeatedly.

"Thank you, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow!" These days, Forget Worries Tea House is a frequent spot for herself and her girlfriends. Nowadays, if you don’t have matching accessories with clothes, it’s embarrassing to go out, and only Forget Worries Tea House sells them.

Buy today, accompany friends tomorrow, inevitably requiring a visit. And the tea and snacks on the first floor are exquisite, making them reluctant to leave.

It was only before the Sect Competition that Luo Xihan opened the Southern Li branch of Forget Worries Tea House commerce, the only four-story comprehensive shop outside the inn. It’s the first floor besides selling tea and snacks, having other items, a simple future shopping mall prototype, with slight modifications.

First floor for tea drinks snacks, second for clothing, third for accessories and jewelry, fourth for VIP exclusive customization.

To become a VIP of this Forget Worries Tea House commerce is simple, just reach a certain spending amount to obtain a membership card.

This membership card doesn’t have discounts but provides annual exclusive customization. Ensuring that items owned are unique, unmatched by others.

After seeing Nine Heavens Pavilion’s clothing and accessories, everyone eagerly anticipates the exclusive customization, though it’s costly and hard to reach instantly.

However, while other noble girls hesitate, three membership cards have already been issued, including to Du Yuwei.

She pays for all her girlfriends’ purchases, even if they’re too busy she would buy on their behalf, and they would reimburse her, some even rounding up, allowing her to quickly accumulate a membership card within days.

Yet, none have used the customization privilege, still waiting, none willing to be first, fearing the first might lose out and the second would better benefit through experience.

As for Luo Qianqian and others? They’ve never visited this Southern Li branch of Forget Worries Tea House commerce.

There’s truly no need, they have all the food, drink, clothing, and items they need, why bother to exclusively go spend money?

Anyway, the fact that Forget Worries Tea House is Nine Heavens Pavilion’s property is widely known throughout Southern Li and major sects.

After all, emerging sects lack funds, developing a sect requires substantial financial support.

The members of Nine Heavens Pavilion are quite pleased with the sect’s commercialization, not feeling commercialization undermines their prestige at all.

Despite the ranking of martial kings, princes, scholars, farmers, and merchants, cultivators foremost and merchants last.
