Chapter 768: 14.44 Last Violet Star – (Past) Jin Sect’s Young Heir

Walking around the market, their small group had caught too much attention. Not only because of the uniformed blue robes with wave patterns and green robes with yellow vines patterns, these disciples wear but also because of the high face value of the ones in lead.

Lu Er and Bai Qiyin were a bit young and looked like boys instead but no one could deny that their appearance is beyond what ordinary people possess. These two had lived a life of luxury back to their homes, they could proudly raise their head in full confidence and looked around trying to be serious making them look even more adorable to observe.

Bai Lili might be a bit young but her gentle features and soft expression made others swoon over her presence. Moreover, she got her mother’s beauty plus the bloodline of Xue in her veins, to the ordinary people at the market she looks no different from a little fairy that got lost in the human world.

If Bai Wuan wasn’t standing beside her, there would be lots of men approaching her to court her. Among them, the one with the strongest presence is Bai Wuan without a doubt.

He looks like he barely reached his teenage years yet he walks with poise and grace. This is because currently the one housing this vessel is none other than the immortal Hei Anjing. Even though he was using a mortal vessel no one could ignore the majestic aura and elegance in his soul. He would sometimes look expressionless as his eyes looked straight and openly ignored everyone’s eyes on him.

“Ah~ who is this man? He is so... Beautiful~”

“The little girl beside him is quite adorable too.”

.....

“Looking at their luxurious robes they must be some disciples from some big sects.”

“Did they come here for the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect?”

“Must be... It’s just I don’t know where they come from.”

Both Bai Wuan and Bai Lili turned deaf ears to the crowd watching them from a distance. Bai Qiyin and Lu Er from the Lu Weifeng Sect who were following behind them heard everything. The former was glowering and showing his fangs toward those reckless men and women who tried to follow his siblings.

Lu Er whispered to him, “Um, you had it quite hard~ bothering your elder brother and younger sister would attract this kind of crowd no matter where they are. How are you back in the North?”

“Back at home, the people of our city know that Shixiong is very strong. No reckless person would dare to touch him or us. Even. If they feel he is too captivating, they know their life is the most important. Though there are some wanders with wild imaginations, those kinds of people had been turned into ice statues by my brother,” replied Bai Qiyin.

Lu Er said, “At least Big Brother Wuan’s reputation is good. My big brother was instead infamous for his savage ways and our people liked and hated him all at the same time. I had to help him clean up most of the time too. Now I’m worried... With me around Dage, things would be hard on that side. Especially with how that clan is suppressing our sect’s fame in our own town. That abominable clan of Xie, it would be better if they don’t exist.”

“Shss! Watch your mouth. The walls have ears as my brother says...” said Bai Qiyin.

The two behind were having a quiet and serious conversation that they didn’t notice that the two in front had been trying to converse with them.

Bai Lili spoke, “Yin-gege! Are you listening!? Dear eldest brother was asking if you guys are hungry?”

“Ahh?!???”

Bai Wuan said, “If you guys are tired we can go to the inn ahead of time to rest and eat there. If not, we can go to a restaurant first before going to the inn. Either that or you guys wish to roam the market on your own. It is fine by me. But I need to check the itinerary with the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect, which guys do you think is better? The restaurant or the inn?”

“Brother, I’m hungry!” said Bai Qiyin.

Lu Er also agreed with the former, “The restaurant is better.”

“We will wait for you in the biggest restaurant in this city, brother,” said Bai Qiyin.

Bai Wuan nodded his head and pulled up his wallet. He gave Bai Qiyin 5 paper money worth 10,000 each and 3 gold ingots. The other disciples were dumbfounded while disciples from the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect had been used to it.

Bai Wuan says, “Use this to enjoy yourselves. Though I will be back soon, things might not go my way. If I’m still not back by the time you finish your meals, you can just meet me in the biggest inn. I had already made some room reservations. You just need to show your sect jades and give them your courtesy names. Is this money enough, Qiqi?”

“O-Okay, brother! It is more than enough!” said Bai Qiyin who immediately hid the paper money and gold ingot as soon as it landed in his hands. He looked around to make sure no one had seen it.

Stunned Lu Er mumbled, “Isn’t that too much already? It’s not like we’re in the capital or East City.”

The capital is where the Imperial Palace of human emperor exist does this city is the largest and most developed while the East City is a merchant city, most new and interesting can be bought here. The Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect) is the richest sect among the rest of the big sects and the East City is under their control. Both cities had expenses cost higher than that of the other cities. In these places, gold is mostly used as currency.

Bai Wuan looked at Lu Er and said, “Xiao Er, Brother Wang told me to arrange your lodgings in the same inn as Qiqi and Lili so just go with them after you play around.”

“We will, Bai-Shixiong!” said Lu Er with a grin. He was delighted that it was the elegant Bai Wuan who arranged their inn. If it was his elder brother, he and his group would have to live in some empty cave nearby.

Bai Wuan says, “Then I will send you to the restaurant first before taking my leave.”

“Then let’s go dear elder brother!” said Bai Lili as he held onto the sleeves of Bai Wuan with a sweet smile on her face.

Upon arriving at the largest and most expensive restaurant in West City, Zhuzi Jade Pavilion. Everyone was welcomed by a gorgeous scene of green bamboo swaying as it followed the wind’s direction. There are some bear cubs of black and white fur roaming around the restaurant courtyard and seemingly mascots or pets of the restaurant owner.

Everyone was surprised and amazed by the mesmerizing scenery before them. The exterior designs of the restaurant were enough to catch their attention now that cute pandas are roaming around the garden, adding up more plus points to the ambiance of the place.

Lu Er spoke, “Wow~ this place... Is quite amazing~”

“I heard it was the most expensive restaurant in this city so I thought it would have gold-plated pillars and walls. This is better... The feeling of being close to nature is the best place for us,” said Bai Qiyin. “Brother, do you know who owns this place?”

“Um. You know him as well,” said Bai Wuan.

Bai Wuan tilted his head and looked confused, “What do you know about the owner as well?”

Suddenly they heard hurried footsteps welcoming them. The one in lead is a young master of Bai Wuan’s age though a few years younger than him and a bit years ahead of Lu Er and Bai Qiyin.

This young man was wearing a gold robe with purple peonies at the edges and sleeves of the robe. A gold-hilted sword and a gold-plated bow and arrows on his back. Obviously, a disciple of the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect).

The eldest heir of the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect), Jin Shiyan. Courtesy name: Jin Shilu.

Jin Shiyan stops in front of Bai Wuan and cupped his hands politely. The disciples and some elders of his clan that were tasked to look after the store had also come out to greet Bai Wuan. Regardless of age, Bai Wuan’s standing in (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect is the same as the elders. Though he doesn’t have any connection to the Bai Clan through bloodline, he is the direct disciple of Sect Master Bai and the Bai family’s half-son.

Adding the fact he is stronger than them as an elder is enough to show their politeness in such a situation. The (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect and Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect) are going to be family in the future anyway when the eldest young master Shiyan married the youngest princess Lili.

“Greetings to Senior Brother Bai and everyone. I am Jin Shilu of Jin Tiangui Sect.”

“Greetings to Eldest Young Lord Bai!” said the elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect.

“Greetings to Senior Bai and everyone!” said the young disciples of the same sect.

Bai Wuan and his group all returned the greeting and cupped their hands to the group in front. Though Bai Wuan seems to be only returning the greeting of the elders politely. There is no need for him to return the greetings of his juniors and usually, a nod would suffice.

“Elders of Jin Tiangui Sect, please forgive our sudden arrival. This junior apologies...” said Bai Wuan.

The elders from the other side smiled and stopped Bai Wuan from lowering his stance. They were quite surprised by how well-mannered this rumored Ice Demon is in front of his elders.

The elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect said,

“Hoho~ Eldest Young Lord Bai doesn’t have to apologize. This restaurant is right for people to come over to eat.”

“You were informed ahead of time about your arrival. The Young Lord had already reserved the best table for his future brothers-in-law~”

“Young Master Shiyan should invite the guests in! The dishes and desserts will be served soon. Everyone doesn’t need to wait.”

Jin Shiyan said with a smile, “Elder Brother Bai, A’Ying, Li’er, and everyone welcome to my restaurant!” His eyes would sometimes wander to look at Bai Lili standing beside Bai Wuan.

Bai Lili noticed it and felt embarrassed by how her fiance was acting. Her cheeks flush with red and slightly hide behind her elder brother. Jin Shiyan’s smile was almost reaching his ears when he saw the cute and shy reaction of his future wife. He would see Bai Lili’s silver hair titled behind Bai Wuan peeking at him.

Jim Shiyan’s thoughts, ‘My future wife is so adorable~ so cute~ I want to hug~’

As if reading his thoughts, Bai Wuan suddenly says in a teasing voice, “You can’t hug Xiao Li without her permission. You can’t force her. But if she agrees I will turn a blind eye~”

Soft punches fell on Bai Wuan’s back and knew that Bai Lili was so embarrassed by his teasing. Even Jin Shiyan’s face turned red, feeling the same embarrassment and shyness as Bai Lili.

Bai Qiyin, this straight man who had no romantic bone in his body, asked innocently, “Brother Shilu, why are you turning red? Lili you too? What is this? Heatstroke?”.

Hahahaha~

The rest couldn’t hold back their laughter hearing such a naive question from Bai Qiyin. Jin Shiyan and Bai Lili looked like cooked shrimps at this moment and even covered their faces. Making the others laugh more.
