NOVEL NEXT Chapter 234: Shopping
After a moment, Ji Hui replied, "No. Emperor Jing Yang is indeed the only son of the previous emperor and the Empress Dowager Wen."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan frowned slightly. A moment later, his expression changed slightly as realization struck him.
Catching the change in Feng Xiyan's expression, Ji Hui continued, "That's right. The one who has no connection to the imperial bloodline… was the previous emperor."
When he said this, both Feng Xiyan and Fan Wanming were stunned.
Lowering his eyes, Feng Xiyan's fists clenched as a chilling thought crossed his mind.
'Could it be… the reason my clan was exterminated by the previous emperor was because my father uncovered this secret?'
With that in mind, Feng Xiyan asked, "Do you know who the previous emperor's father was?"
Ji Hui shook his head and replied, "This general does not know who the previous emperor's father was."
Feng Xiyan pondered for a moment before asking, "General Ji, how did you come to know of this imperial secret in the first place?"
Recalling a scene from years ago, Ji Hui answered, "This general once overheard Prime Minister Wen conversing with a mysterious man in the imperial palace three years ago. At that time, this general was still a small captain of the imperial guard."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan's eyes flickered as he murmured in realization, "No wonder… In just three years, you rose to the rank of a fourth-rank general without ever stepping onto the battlefield. Turns out, it was all because of this secret."
"That's right." Ji Hui nodded. "Great General Feng, now that this general has told you everything, you must fulfill your promise."
Feng Xiyan stood up from the chair and calmly said, "Don't worry. As long as the Ji Clan does not stand in my way, this general will not trouble them."
Hearing this, Ji Hui let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."
The moment the words left his lips, Ji Hui fainted.
Seeing this, Feng Xiyan ordered, "General Fan, send someone to treat his wounds. Make sure he doesn't die. He still has his uses."
Fan Wanming clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, Great General."
Leaving the underground prison, Feng Xiyan returned to his tent to tend to his works.
Meanwhile, Bai Hanyun had just finished watching her drama.
Stretching her body, she looked out of the window and thought, 'The weather is nice today. It's a perfect day to go out shopping.'
Deciding to buy some clothes for Feng Xiyan as a return gift for the dresses he had given her two days prior, Bai Hanyun grabbed her car keys and backpack. Before leaving, her eyes fell on the antique mirror.
A second later, she said, "You look bored. Let's go out and have some fun."
When she said that, the antique mirror glowed dimly once. Getting its answer, Bai Hanyun slipped the antique mirror into her backpack and headed downstairs.
Just as she stepped out of her house, Hua Yuyu came out of his capsule house.
Hearing the door close from behind, Bai Hanyun turned and saw him coming.
Noticing the backpack, Hua Yuyu asked, "Miss Bai, are you going out?"
Bai Hanyun nodded. "Yes, I'm going shopping."
"Got it," Hua Yuyu replied, then turned back toward his capsule house.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyun headed to the garage to get her car. Soon, she drove it out to the front yard, where Hua Yuyu and Gao Gong were already waiting.
Pulling up before them, she said, "Get in."
Seeing her behind the wheel, Gao Gong hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Miss Bai, allow me to drive."
Bai Hanyun waved her hand casually and said, "No need. Just get in."
When she said that, Gao Gong glanced at Hua Yuyu, who calmly entered the passenger seat. After a short moment of hesitation, Gao Gong opened the back door and climbed in.
Once they put on their seatbelt, Bai Hanyun stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the yard.
An hour later, they arrived at Fu Cheng Town's shopping district. After circling for a few minutes, they finally found a parking spot inside the largest mall.
After parking the car, the three of them get into the elevator. Soon, the three of them stepped off the elevator.
Taking in the mall's bright lighting and luxurious decoration, Bai Hanyun commented, "Not bad. Compared to the mall in Xi Yang City, this one is only slightly smaller. Everything else is about the same."
After scanning her surroundings, Bai Hanyun saw a mall map and quickly found the clothing section.
Deciding where to go, she smiled at Hua Yuyu and Gao Gong. "Let's go."
With the two of them following her closely, Bai Hanyun browsed several stores, but nothing seemed good enough for Feng Xiyan. Just as she was about to leave for another place, her eyes caught on a familiar name.
"Shen Yi Weapon Store?" Tilting her head, Bai Hanyun murmured in doubt, "Isn't that the name of Boss Shen's store?"
Feeling curious, she decided to take a look.
Klining~
As the bell rang, a man lying on the counter slowly opened his eyes. Yawning, he greeted lazily, "Welcome to Shen Yi Weapon Store."
Recognizing the familiar voice, Bai Hanyun turned toward the counter. The moment she saw the man, her voice carried a hint of surprise as she asked, "Boss Shen?"
Shen Yi blinked, rubbed his eyes, and then stood up with delight. "Miss Bai? What an honor for you to visit my humble store. Are you here to buy more weapons?"
Glancing at the displays of armor and weapons, Bai Hanyun realized the shop truly belonged to him. She then smiled and said, "Boss Shen, it looks like you have added new products again."
Shen Yi stepped out from behind the counter with a chuckle. "It's all thanks to you, Miss Bai. Without your purchases, I wouldn't have had the capital to open this store or invent new products."
After saying that, Shen Yi lowered his voice and added, "Miss Bai, we just launched a new product this month. Would you like me to show it to you?"
