Cultivation Pet Shop

The next morning, Lin Fan's store had business as usual.

However, Lin Fan was surprised to find that Yang Xi Ruo didn't come with Jun Xie.

He couldn't help asking him about it, "What happened to the pretty girl that came with you each day?"

Jun Xie was surprised to hear this because he didn't normally talk to Lin Fan, but he was also excited since he worshiped Lin Fan.

This mysterious store owner that had given him the chance to change himself, naturally he would feel admiration towards this owner.

So he answered in a stuttering voice, "She's…She's not with me today. She said that she had something important to take care of."

As he said this, there was a slight bit of worry in his voice.

Over their week together, he had gotten quite close to Yang Xi Ruo, so it was impossible for there not to be any emotions that developed between them. However, it wasn't at the point where it could be considered love yet, it was still at the level where he just admired Yang Xi Ruo.

Lin Fan didn't ask much after that because he was just a bit curious about this and he wasn't too invested in this matter.

After Jun Xie finished paying for his training, he waited around for a bit as if he was waiting for something before heading off.

An hour later, Yang Xi Ruo did show up, but this time she was with someone completely different. At the same time though, there was also someone completely unexpected who arrived at the shop.

It was Ouyang Xun who had bullied Jun Xie before.

Like Yang Xi Ruo, he was also with someone else when he arrived at the shop.

Both of them arrived one after another and they went to different parts of the shop, so they didn't see each other right away.

After Ouyang Xun arrived with this person, that person brought Ouyang Xun over to the shelves containing stat increasing elixirs.

He picked up one of these elixirs off the shelf and started looking them over. After looking at it for a bit, he gave a snort and threw it back onto the shelf without any care as he said, "He sells these cheap fake items and you're telling me that this store is special?"

As he said this, there was a trace of a disdain that filled his voice.

Ouyang Xun just calmly said, "After examining this matter from all different angles, this is the only possibility that came to mind. There is no doubt that there is something special about this store."

The person brought by Ouyang Xun looked at him with one raised brow as he said, "Is that so? Someone like you rates this store that highly?"

Ouyang Xun ignored this and said, "It's a fact that the Jun Family's heir comes to this store daily and that the Duke Yang's daughter has been getting closer to him. At this rate, it's very likely that the Yang Family will be able to pull in the Jun Family for the sixth prince."

Hearing this, that person finally put away the disdain that filled his face and knitted his brows.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Alright, tell me what plan you have for taking care of this matter?"

Ouyang Xun revealed a faint smile when he heard this before moving in closer to explain his plan to this person.

Once he finished hearing this plan, he also couldn't help revealing a smile as he said, "You really are a bad person."

Ouyang Xun just smiled without denying it.

On the other side, Yang Xi Ruo was being dragged around by the person that she brought who kept saying, "Ruo Ruo, if there's anything that you like, just tell me and I'll buy it for you. In fact, I could buy you this entire store if you like."

Yang Xi Ruo had an expressionless look on her face the entire time as she said, "No, your highness, there's no need for you to buy me anything."

But this person wouldn't give up asking her if there was anything that she wanted.

Lin Fan naturally noticed these two groups because behind them were guards that he couldn't avoid paying attention to. There were actually two World Realm Experts that were currently inside of his store, mingling among the crowd.

No, if he counted the other one, it would be three World Realm Experts.

He had no choice but to pay attention to them since if these three World Realm Experts made a move, he really would be backed into a corner and would have no choice but to use his trump card. But if he were to use his trump card, he wouldn't be able to stay in this place since there would be too many troublesome things to deal with.

So for now, he hoped that they wouldn't make a move.

But that hope was ruined when the two groups bumped into each other.

Both of these groups had been minding their own business until they bumped into each other in the center of the store by the counter.

The moment that these two groups bumped into each other, they immediately knitted their brows and fell into deep thought. They all had their own thoughts as they just stood there in silence like this.

Everyone else around them minded their own business, but Lin Fan was worried because he could sense the World Realm Experts moving, as if they were about to fight.

However, that didn't happen in the end.

The one to speak first was the person Ouyang Xun brought, "Sixth brother, it's been a long time."

The person with Yang Xi Ruo revealed a smile in return and said, "Eighth brother, I'm so happy to see you. But I wonder, for someone as busy as you, how did you find the time to come to a place like this?"

The person with Ouyang Xun replied with a smile, "Sixth brother, brother Ouyang invited me to see this new store, so of course I had to make some time for him." He then turned to Yang Xi Ruo and said, "Miss Yang, it's a pleasure to see you."

​ As he said this, he reached his hand out for her hand.

Yang Xi Ruo naturally recognized who this person was and she had no choice but to give him her hand or else it would be an awkward situation for both of them.

After receiving her hand, that person looked at the person who had come with Yang Xi Ruo with a provocative smile before placing a kiss on her hand. That person's lips twitched after seeing this, but they didn't say anything. All they did was silently glare at them with eyes filled with a bit of killing intent.

But the situation around them was slowly changing.

People had been ignoring them since they had been quiet, but once they bumped into each other and started making noise, people turned their attention over.

There were only a few whispers at first, but then there was one person that knocked everything over.

"Isn't that the sixth and eighth highness?"

As soon as these words were said, the lid was blown off the pot and the pot exploded.

Everyone was speaking in whispers, but it was clear that all of their attention was on these two men. After all, they were quite famous in the capital and it was impossible to not recognize them.

The only reason no one said anything before was because they couldn't believe that he would show up in a place like this.

Now that they had been recognized, it was impossible for them not to be the center of attention.

With this, Lin Fan also understood who these two were.

They were accompanied by World Realm Experts, so that was the greatest attestation to who they were.

But for them to show up here at the same time.

Was it the contest of succession?

Lin Fan knew that there were many different princes for this Mu Stellar Kingdom from his information gathering and the matter of succession hadn't been determined yet. Not a single crown prince had been crowned by the king.

He just hoped that they wouldn't take things too far in his store. He even thought about contacting the Dongfang Family just in case to make sure that they could settle this matter.

At the same time, he also sent a secret message to Angela to keep Xin'er in the back.

After this small exchange between the eighth prince and Yang Xi Ruo, their group exchanged pleasantries without a care about the people around them. Of course, every word that they said was filled with sharp barbs aimed at the other side.

While they were doing this, there was a person that came into the store with a confused look.

After looking around for a bit, this person noticed the group in the center.

When this person saw Yang Xi Ruo, they couldn't help revealing a strange conflicted look before saying, "Miss Yang, what are you doing here?"

Everyone immediately fell silent and turned to look in the direction of this voice.

Standing there was Jun Xie.

When Yang Xi Ruo saw that it was Jun Xie, her brows immediately knitted and she asked in a worried voice, "Jun Xie, why are you here?"

She had made sure to come late just so she wouldn't run into him in this store.

So what was he doing here now?

Hearing this, the sixth prince couldn't help frowning as he looked at Jun Xie.

So it was this person…
