He Yiming did not stay in the manor for long. After informing his uncle of the news, he left in a carefree manner.
The news of his appearance spread like the wind throughout the manor. The crowd waiting outside the door was eager to see the young Master with their own eyes.
Although the battle with Cheng Fu had only ended a few days ago, everyone in the capital of Tian Luo Kingdom knew about it.
Whether they knew him or not, the people of Tian Luo Kingdom were excited and delighted that He Yiming could defeat a Xiantian Master from Kai Rong Kingdom.
The people outside the door were no exception.
However, although everyone was excited, they did not have the courage to enter rashly. When He Yitian finally came out, they found out that He Yiming had left unknowingly.
No one found out how he left, but other than regret, they did not have any doubts.
It would be strange if a Xiantian Master was discovered by them.
However, since He Yiming came this time, there was an endless stream of people and carriages outside the manor. There was no longer a moment of peace, and He Quanxin and his son were living in pain and happiness. While they were happy that the He Family Manor's reputation had finally spread to Tian Luo City, they were also dizzy from the various kinds of hospitality that were incompatible with their cultivation.

He Yiming returned to Shaoming Residence as if he had turned into a gust of wind. As soon as he entered his courtyard, he saw Yuan Lixun sitting on a wide chair in the courtyard. She held her chin and looked quietly at the courtyard. There seemed to be an indescribable feeling of loneliness around her.
He Yiming was slightly startled and hesitated for a moment. Inexplicably, he had such a feeling. That was Yuan Lixun missing home …
He tilted his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled and moved to Yuan Lixun's side.
Yuan Lixun coughed softly and her body trembled. She jumped up like a frightened rabbit. When she saw clearly that the person beside her was He Yiming, the panic and alertness in her eyes faded in an instant. Instead, she revealed a little girl's shyness.
"Young Master, you're back."
He Yiming nodded heavily and said, "Come, let's go out."
"Go out?" Yuan Lixun was baffled and asked, "Where are we going?"
"We've been here for a long time, but we haven't gone out for a walk. Let's go see the prosperity of this city today." He Yiming chuckled and said, "Why, don't you want to?"
Yuan Lixun nodded excitedly. Then she was startled and immediately shook her head. Thinking about it, it seemed wrong. A thick blush appeared on her face again, like a red apple, which made people want to pounce and take a bite.
Seeing her so excited expression, He Yiming's heart also inexplicably relaxed.
The two people left Shaoming Residence one after the other. Although there were servants along the way who saw them, they immediately bowed and did not dare to stop them in the slightest.
※ ※ ※
On the spacious streets, there were many tall restaurants.
Although it was not to the extent that every restaurant was full of guests, but even from the outside, it could be seen that at least sixty percent of the seats were occupied.
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun strolled along the streets, enjoying this rare free time.
Feeling the woman's lingering gaze at the major stores, He Yiming felt a little emotional.
Since he began to cultivate, the days when he could go out on the streets could be counted on one hand. Especially in the past two years, except for that one time in Taicang County when he accompanied his mother and siblings to go shopping, he seemed to have never been so relaxed.
And Yuan Lixun, who followed him, did her best to take care of his daily life, so it was even more impossible for him to have free time to go out on the streets.
This time, the two of them had left Shaoming Residence on a whim.
If He Yiming had not accidentally seen Yuan Lixun, he would not have left for no reason.
After strolling along the streets for a long time, He Yiming did not pick up anything useful. This was not because his vision was too high, but because he was wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation. He really did not have the slightest interest in the things used by these ordinary people.
Yuan Lixun, on the other hand, bought some cosmetics and rouge and packed them into a small package.
He Yiming did not say anything and directly reached out to take it, and held it in his hand. Yuan Lixun opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, her face blushed and she silently agreed.
They walked slowly along the side of the street, and did not walk in the center of the main road. This was not because their status was not high enough, but because they walked like this, that kind of leisurely shopping mood.
Suddenly, He Yiming's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the front and said, "Lixun, you have been with me for nearly two months, and I have not given you anything, why don't we go there and take a look."
Yuan Lixun looked up, there was a three story tall building in front of them, and on the plaque above, there were three big words "Feng Laixiang".
As long as she saw this plaque, she immediately understood where this place was.
After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Young Master, the jewelry in Feng Laixiang is the best, let's go to another store."
Indeed, in the Northwest Countries, in terms of jewelry, Feng Laixiang was definitely the number one, and its competitors were far behind.
It was said that Feng Laixiang jewelry store not only had the shadow of the three Northwest Empires, but even the famous superpower of the East, Da Shen, seemed to have some connection with Feng Laixiang.
It was because of this that Feng Laixiang was able to open branches in all the Northwest Countries, and almost all the capitals and important cities had Feng Laixiang branches.
Of course, such a huge investment would also bring about a sizeable return. As long as it was someone with a bit of status, if they wanted to buy jewelry, their first choice would definitely be Feng Laixiang.
He Yiming slightly waved his hand, and said, "It's fine, you can choose as much as you want."
His voice was full of confidence. At this moment, He Yiming, no matter how you looked at it, was a super rich person. Although it was impossible to buy all of Feng Laixiang, but if he only wanted to buy one of the branches, it was more than enough.
Under He Yiming's insistence, Yuan Lixun helplessly entered Feng Laixiang.
Although she was born in a prestigious family, because she was the daughter of a cane, and moreover, her mother had passed away early, she didn't have much experience in this kind of situation.
The pitiful few pieces of jewelry at home were left behind by her own mother.
Although before coming to the He Family, Yuan Zhencheng had not been stingy in preparing several sets of exquisite, luxurious, and extravagant jewelry and clothes for her, she didn't use a single one.
Therefore, when she entered Feng Laixiang for the first time, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she was immediately dazzled by the sparkling lights of the precious wares inside.
He Yiming's gaze turned, and took in all of the precious stones. He didn't have much of a reaction to them, and if it was in the past, he might have been moved by them. But after stepping into the Xiantian realm, his interest in these items had greatly decreased, and he didn't care about them at all.
Suddenly, a cold rebuke was heard. "Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you appear in Feng Laixiang? Mister Xu, your Feng Laixiang's level is getting lower and lower."
He Yiming frowned slightly, but Yuan Lixun's face had already turned red. She was nervous, and she didn't know if she had embarrassed her Young Master.
He Yiming raised his head and saw a tall and burly young man at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
This person was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and his face was quite handsome, but his arrogant face and disdainful gaze couldn't help but greatly reduce his image.
"Young Master Zi, you're a magnanimous person, so please don't hold it against ordinary people." A middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with an amiable expression walked over with a chuckle. He bowed deeply and said, "Please go upstairs. We've prepared special jewelry and accessories for you, and we guarantee that you'll be satisfied."
Young Master Zi seemed to be quite satisfied with the man's attitude, so he stopped pestering him and swaggered up to the second floor while being escorted by a few attendants.
However, no one noticed that behind this person, there was an attendant who was trying to cover himself up. Subconsciously, he dodged the attack.
The middle-aged man in the brocade robe turned around and walked in front of He Yiming and Yuan Lixun. He smiled bitterly and said, "Please forgive me, but I had no choice just now. If you're shopping in my shop today, I'll make the decision to reduce the cost by 10%. "
Given He Yiming's current net worth, he naturally didn't care about 10%. Nevertheless, the man's words were so sincere that he had a good impression of him.
"Your Excellency, you can make the decision? May I ask …"
"I'm Xu Shan, the shopkeeper of this jewelry store." Xu Shan cupped his fists and bowed slightly. "Please forgive me for what happened just now."
"Shopkeeper Xu, I've heard a lot about you."
He Yiming said, but his tone didn't sound like he had heard a lot about Xu Shan.
Xu Shan chuckled and didn't mind at all. He had met countless people in his life, and although he could tell that the young lady wasn't someone who had seen the world, the young man wasn't simple at all.
Putting everything else aside, when he stood next to the young man, he felt uneasy, so he knew that the young man wasn't an ordinary person. Nevertheless, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of any other young master who was similar to him.
He Yiming looked around the first floor and suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper Xu, is there anything on the second floor?"
Xu Shan hesitated for a while before he answered, "There are some fine jewelry on the second floor. The quality can't be compared to the first floor, but the price is the same as well."
"Alright, please take us up there to take a look," He Yiming said casually.
Xu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, I know you must have a great background. If I'm not mistaken, you're from another city, right? "
He Yiming asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
Xu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Judging from your bearing, you're obviously not an ordinary person. If you live in Tianluo, you should have heard of the Zi family, one of the five great aristocratic families."
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is the young master who went upstairs from the Zi family?"
"Yes, that's Young Master Zi Ruiguang, the direct descendant of the Zi family. He's the third young master of the current head of the Zi family." Xu Shan hesitated for a while before he said, "You're an outsider after all. You don't have to offend the Zi family just to vent your anger."
He Yiming laughed and said, "Why? Is it so great to offend the Zi family?"
Xu Shan's gaze froze, and he looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. His lips twitched a few times, and he looked at the young man and woman in front of him again. He shook his head slightly in his heart. He didn't know which family this young master came from, but why would he ask such a question?
He wanted to ignore it, but in the end, he couldn't bear to see them die for no reason.
Xu Shan coughed softly and said earnestly, "Young master, the Zi family is one of the five great aristocratic families in Tianluo. Even the king of Tianluo has to show some respect to the Zi family."
He Yiming suddenly understood, as if he just realized how powerful the other party was.
Xu Shan thought to himself, This family is really irresponsible. If I didn't remind them today, they wouldn't even know how they died.
While he was thinking in his heart, He Yiming suddenly pulled Yuan Lixun around him and walked towards the stairs on the second floor.
Xu Shan was slightly stunned, and he hurriedly caught up with them and asked, "What are you two doing?"
"Of course we're going up to take a look." He Yiming blinked and said innocently, "Since there's good stuff up there, why should we waste our time downstairs?"
Xu Shan's face flushed red. She looked deeply at He Yiming and said, "This young master, could it be that you didn't hear what I said just now?"
"I heard," He Yiming said very honestly, "But there's something I forgot to tell you."
Xu Shan was baffled and asked subconsciously, "What's the matter?"
"When the king of Tianluo sees me, he will probably show me some respect."
After He Yiming finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xu Shan. Instead, he directly went upstairs.
Xu Shan's eyes widened. He had seen arrogant people before, but he had never seen such an arrogant person. If the king of Tianluo showed the Zi family some respect, he would show him some respect. Didn't this mean that he had the Zi family under his control?
Xu Shan was slightly angry. He had already made up his mind to stop this person.
After all, this was Fenglai Xiang. If a fight broke out here, it wouldn't be a good thing for the store.
With that thought, Xu Shan's body moved. His legs were filled with strength, and he rushed over in an instant. He stretched out his arm, intending to grab He Yiming with Yuan Lixun between them, forcefully pulling him back.
However, when he stretched out his hand, he caught nothing. He Yiming's arm was clearly in front of his eyes, but when his hand reached it, it suddenly disappeared.
Just like that, it disappeared right in front of his eyes.
This was no small matter. Xu Shan's heart turned cold. When he was about to step back, he saw that the two young men had already entered the second floor. He was instantly dumbfounded. The two young men didn't walk quickly, but their speed was unbelievably fast. Before he could react, they had already entered the second floor.
This level of skill really made one's hair stand on end.
Xu Shan only hesitated for a moment before he immediately waved his hand. A person quickly walked in front of him and said softly, "Quickly go to the restaurant next door. The eldest son of the Zi family should be there. Tell him that the third young master might be in trouble. Ask him to come and deal with it."
The person nodded and turned to leave. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Xu Shan took a deep breath and tidied his clothes. He waved his sleeves and walked steadily to the second floor.
※ ※ ※
The second floor had a completely different feeling from the first floor, whether it was the decorations or the furnishings.
If the first floor was simple and elegant, the second floor exuded a sense of luxury and nobility.
He Yiming was a little curious about this place. It was his first time coming to such a place. Of course, he was merely curious. It was impossible for him to feel any fear or dread at all.
There were more than ten closed rooms on the second floor. Some of the rooms were closed, while others were open. There were a few attendants outside the door, as well as a few beautiful maids.
When one of the attendants saw He Yiming and Yuan Lixun, he shrank back and his expression changed slightly. But then he held his head high and puffed out his chest. His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After He Yiming went upstairs, he didn't even need to use his eyes to "hear" everyone's movements. This person's movements naturally couldn't be hidden from him, but he didn't think too much about it.
In front of the Imperial Manor, when he fought with Cheng Fu, it was in front of thousands of people. Perhaps this person was among the crowd and saw his face, so it wasn't strange.
After all, this person was Zi Ruiguang's attendant. It was normal for an attendant of one of the Five Great Aristocratic Families of Tianluo Kingdom to participate in that event.
He Yiming smiled coldly. He pulled Yuan Lixun's hand and strode forward. In an instant, they arrived at the door guarded by the attendants.
The attendants' faces were filled with astonishment, but they didn't show any dissatisfaction. At the same time, they silently stretched out their hands.
Looking at them, it seemed like they wanted to capture He Yiming without alerting the person in the room.
However, in the next moment, their expressions became extremely ugly and astonished. Moreover, they were filled with deep disbelief.
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun had mysteriously disappeared. It was like a gust of wind, disappearing from their sight.
Then, the door they were guarding seemed to have been blown open by the wind. When they looked up, they could only vaguely see a shadow flashing past.
The attendants looked at each other in dismay. They could see the fear in each other's eyes. This guy, just who was he?
Just at this moment, a figure flew up. This person's face was very capable, but his expression was quite ugly. It was the manager of Soaring Phoenix, Xu Shan.
When he came up and saw the attendants' expressions, his heart suddenly thumped. He knew that things were not good. He glanced at the room and immediately strode in.
His status was naturally not something ordinary people could compare with. When those servants were at their wits' end, when they saw him, it was as if they had seen their savior. They cast a pleading look at him.
Xu Shan laughed bitterly and pushed open the door. He cursed in his heart, but in the end, he braced himself and entered.
