At this moment, Jiang Shengjun, who had been following the two of them, also entered the alley and happened to witness this scene.
Seeing Bu Shiyi's smile, Jiang Shengjun was first taken aback.
Then, a powerful sense of crisis rose in his heart.
"Who was that man? Bu Shiyi had always been cold and indifferent toward others, yet she actually smiled at him? Was I seeing things, or had I not woken up yet?"
A string of doubts surfaced in Jiang Shengjun's mind, and the way he looked at Luo Chuan grew increasingly hostile.
This man was an exceptionally dangerous rival!
Luo Chuan was also somewhat puzzled. Why had this man, who had only just arrived, started glaring at him with such hostility?
"Jiang Shengjun, why are you following us?"
Bu Shiyi looked at Jiang Shengjun, frowning slightly as her pleasant voice rang out.
"That's right! Jiang Shengjun, why do you follow us wherever we go?" Bu Lige also shouted in dissatisfaction.
It had to be said that Jiang Shengjun's self-restraint was indeed quite good.
A brilliant smile instantly appeared on his handsome face. Waving his folding fan, he said with a laugh, "Shiyi, what are you saying? I was merely curious about what could possibly be in this little alley to attract you."
"Now that you've seen it, you may leave." Bu Shiyi spoke expressionlessly.
Jiang Shengjun's expression immediately stiffened. Bu Shiyi had not left him even the slightest bit of face.
But the gap in strength was right there. It was not as though he could defeat her in a fight.
Drawing a deep breath, Jiang Shengjun suppressed the anger in his heart, the smile on his face remaining unchanged.
Luo Chuan was a little stunned by what he saw.
Could this be the so-called simp... ahem, devoted lover?
Jiang Shengjun decisively changed the subject. "Tsk tsk tsk, I truly never expected there to be a shop hidden in such a remote alley. You certainly have refined tastes, sir."
Luo Chuan ignored Jiang Shengjun.
Jiang Shengjun felt a pang in his teeth. Despite his excellent self-restraint, he felt that today alone had made him want to lose his temper more times than in the entire previous month.
"New products have arrived in the shop." Luo Chuan said to Bu Shiyi and Bu Lige.
"Just as I thought! Boss, you didn't lie to me!" A smile appeared on Bu Lige's face.
Having said that, he grabbed Bu Shiyi and headed into the shop without another word.
"Sis! I brought enough Spirit Crystals today! I'll treat you later!"
"You said it."
"Of course! A real man's word, once spoken, cannot be chased down even by four horses..."
Jiang Shengjun looked at Luo Chuan, who had returned to reclining in his rocking chair, then at the shop not far away.
A light breeze drifted past, and for a moment, he felt somewhat awkward.
After thinking it over, he too walked toward the shop.
Naturally, Luo Chuan did not stop him. As the owner, all who came were guests.
Of course, that was on the condition that they obeyed the shop's rules.
At this moment, Jiang Shengjun was still rather puzzled.
Bu Shiyi and Bu Lige had been talking quite loudly just now, so why had their voices vanished the moment they entered this shop?
Only when he entered the shop himself did he understand.
"Welcome!" A pleasant voice rang out.
The voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, piercing straight into his heart.
Before his eyes stood a woman with purple hair and purple eyes.
If Bu Shiyi could be described as capable of toppling a kingdom and captivating a city, then the woman before him was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Beautiful, noble, and carrying an air that brooked no desecration.
"Something's wrong!" Jiang Shengjun suddenly came back to his senses, his expression changing drastically. "Purple hair and purple eyes—you are a member of the Royal Family of Beasts from the Jiuyao Mountain Range!"
As the Left Prime Minister's son, Jiang Shengjun had naturally read extensively. His knowledge of the Jiuyao Mountain Range surpassed that of ordinary cultivators by an unknown margin.
Thus, he knew certain exceptionally rare pieces of information.
Furthermore, Yao Ziyan looked visibly different from ordinary people at a glance, which was why Jiang Shengjun could directly guess her identity.
