The weather turned hot and soon it was early summer. The strong sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, turning the ground golden.

When Shang Yiqing walked out of the room, she saw Fang Zinan practicing his swordplay in the yard. The sunlight was shining on the sword, and the golden sun was shining on the sword, making it hard for people to open their eyes. Fang Zinan's sword was elegant and graceful, his sword was elegant and unrestrained, and he looked like a white crane flying in the sun. Combined with his swift and graceful movements, he looked even more majestic and radiant.

Although Shang Yiqing had fought alongside him before, she had never seen him practice the sword before. Just based on these few sword moves alone, she was certain that his martial arts skills were no weaker than that of King Xuan, and that she was on par with Xiao Tianyuan. At this moment, seeing Fang Zinan leap high into the air and stab three times with his sword, each sword dancing in the air as if it were a dance. Shang Yiqing couldn't help but cry out, "Good!"

Fang Zinan immediately stopped swinging his sword, but his posture remained unchanged. His valiant and unrestrained posture, coupled with his handsome and unparalleled appearance, only made people feel that he was more and more talented.

"You need to go out?" Fang Zinan saw that Shang Yiqing was dressed neatly in a light blue palace attire with her hair hanging down to her temples. There was only a green jade hairpin in her hair, so he couldn't help but ask.

Shang Yiqing nodded and replied, "I've made an appointment with Ying Ying today to go shopping with her."

"I now find that you and Yingying get along very well. Jane is really inseparable."

"Of course. Ying Ying and I are friends. I don't have many friends anyway, and now that I'm no longer estranged from Ying Ying, of course I can get along with her." Shang Yiqing walked out as she spoke.

Fang Zinan smiled and shook his head. "You women are so stingy when you're angry, and now that you're so stingy, I really don't understand."

Shang Yiqing turned to glance at him. "It's good that you know this. If it wasn't for you, I think we'd be friends a long time ago …" At this point, shsheraised her head to look at the sky. "Aiya, it's getting late. I need to leave quickly. Ying Ying will definitely be waiting for me." As she spoke, he quickened her pace towards the exit.

Fang Zinan couldn't help but smile as he watched Shang Yiqing's slim figure disappear into the long corridor.

Shang Yiqing walked out of the Residence of Rong and headed straight for the Xiao Residence. As she passed through the forest, she saw Ying Ying riding a horse towards her.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say that I would come to the Xiao manor to look for you? " Shang Yiqing raised her voice and asked Ying Ying when she saw her.

"I've been waiting for you at the mansion for half a day. I can't wait any longer." As Ying Ying said this, she stopped the horse and turned it around. Shang Yiqing also rushed over, and the two of them walked side by side.

"Didn't we tell you that we're going shopping today? What do you plan to do?" Shang Yiqing asked her.

"I'm thinking that Big Bro's birthday will be in a few more days. I don't know what to give him, so why don't you help me think about what kind of thing to give Big Bro?" Ying Ying revealed her purpose for coming here.

Big Brother Xiao's birthday? Shang Yiqing scratched her head. She hadn't expected that Ying Ying would come looking for her for this reason. She was indeed a little surprised, but she was also very happy. After knowing Xiao Tianyuan's birthday, she could give him a present.

"Hurry up and leave." Ying Ying patted her horse and planned ahead.

When the two of them arrived at the main street, it was already early in the morning. People were coming from all over the city, and people were making their way through the streets. There were street stalls, people selling ointments, people selling ointments, and people selling all kinds of snacks.

"Ying Ying, what does your elder brother like the most?" Shang Yiqing asked, at the same time she had no intention of watching the commotion.

"I don't know either. He doesn't seem to have any preferences, so I asked you to help me think of a way." Ying Ying frowned.

"Let me think …" Shang Yiqing placed a finger on her forehead and thought for a moment before saying, "I think Brother Xiao is definitely not someone who is interested in gold, silver, and jewelry. His martial arts are so high, perhaps he is interested in weapons?"

"Makes sense. Makes sense." Ying Ying nodded in agreement as she surveyed her surroundings before pointing to a weapon shop in front of them. "Why don't we go there and take a look?"

"Wow." Shang Yiqing acknowledged and the two of them entered the weapon store.

"Welcome." When the shop assistant saw that both the merchant and Ying Ying Ying were dressed extravagantly and had a noble temperament, he could not help but go forward and introduce the business, "Two guests, the shop is considered to be a hundred years old in the capital. In this capital, the weapons used by all the famous aristocrats and princes are not made by the shop itself, so the two of you should take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Shang Yiqing nodded and looked into the shop. Indeed, there were two rows of good weapons on the shelves. Although these weapons looked good, they could only be considered a decoration for greeting ordinary customers. Shang Yiqing did not know much about these things, so she could tell.

"Is that the only weapon in your shop? We want the best. Price is not a problem. " Shang Yiqing glanced at Ying Ying and pretended to be very good at it.

The shopkeeper saw that the two women were very pretty and their clothes were very luxurious. With a glance, he could tell that they were either rich or expensive. He smiled and went up to smooth things over, "I'm afraid the two of you don't have any interest in the weapons placed outside. What kind of weapon would you like to see?"

"Bring out your superior weapon for me to take a look." With her understanding of weapons, she could tell that they were only ordinary weapons. If they were ordinary people, it would be fine, but it was a pity that she was quite knowledgeable about weapons, so she knew that they were nothing to her big brother.

When the shopkeeper heard that the tone of the two of them was really very arrogant, he instructed the shop assistant, "Take out our treasured high quality weapons and let the two of you take a look."

Soon the waiter brought out the weapon and placed it on the counter.

Shang Yiqing saw sabers, swords, guns, several weapons, all different from the others — this time, she took out a rare item. Ying Ying also nodded in agreement. "That's not bad."

"Big Brother Xiao's swordsmanship is really amazing, why don't we choose a sword and give it to him?" As she spoke, Shang Yiqing picked up the sword. The scabbard was black, and when the sword was unsheathed, it was actually pitch black. Shang Yiqing didn't know much about swordsmanship. She asked Ying Ying in a low voice, "What do you think about this sword?"

Before Ying Ying could reply, she heard the shopkeeper praise, "What good insight you have, Madam. This sword is not an ordinary sharp weapon. It can cut through hair, slice through iron, or shatter jade without making a single sound. It's actually the finest of swords."

"Is this really as amazing as you said?" Shang Yiqing asked doubtfully, indicating that she did not understand.

"Watch me." Taking the sword from Shang Yuqing, Ying Ying took out a jade pendant and threw it into the air. Then, a sword light flashed.
