My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 638: The silver-haired man

The little fox managed to escape, all because Qin Feng jokingly said, “Maybe it’s filthy.”

“It smells disgusting?” Bai Wushuang looked at the cute little fox and showed a hint of regret.

Little did she know that when Su Tianyue on the other side heard this, the energy flowed around her body and the table in front of her was shaken to pieces.

At noon, Bai Wushuang wanted to invite her sister Qiu’er to go with her, but the latter hesitated for a while and refused directly.

On the way to the Moonlit Pavilion, Bai Wushuang continued to talk about this matter: “I always feel that my sister has changed since she came to the Imperial City.”

“In the past, if she heard that there was delicious food, she definitely wouldn’t refuse.”

‘You don’t know the power of love…’ Qin Feng’s mouth twitched at the words. Before leaving the Qin Mansion, he actually caught a glimpse of Bai Qui and Second Mother chatting and laughing.

That’s obviously just trying to increase your favorability!

As the capital, Imperial City’s prosperity is of course unmatched by other places.

Bai Wushuang’s eyes lit up at the sight of these outrageous delicacies.

As Qin Feng watched her restless appearance, he felt helpless, but suddenly, with a sense of foreboding, his eyebrows furrowed as he glanced around, his gaze fixed on a corner of the street.

 It was a stall full of medicinal herbs. The stall owner was a young man wearing a yellow gown, with silver hair and a cheerful expression.

The silver-haired man glanced around, observing the bustling crowd, occasionally shouting out, blending in seamlessly with the other vendors.

Qin Feng activated his Dual Pupil ability and watched carefully for a while, finding nothing unusual in the man’s blood and energy.

“It must be my imagination…”

Just then, a burly man approached the silver-haired man’s stall and inquired about the prices of the herbs. The vendor explained earnestly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Feng didn’t linger and disappeared into the crowd with Bai Wushuang.

“This herb costs twenty copper coins per plant. Do you want me to smash your stall?” the burly man shouted angrily.

The silver-haired man was unperturbed by his words, and still had a smile on his face. “This herb is called Sunward Herb. It grows only on the cliffs of high mountains and can help Divine Martial Warriors refine their blood and energy. Its effects are remarkable, and combined with the difficulty of harvesting, twenty copper coins per plant is indeed quite cheap.”

“Nonsense! What kind of herb is this? I don’t need your explanations. But I’m telling you, the price is too high!” the burly man retorted.

A middle-aged man running a neighbouring stall recognised the burly man and hastily reminded him, “Brother, you’re new to this area. This man is in charge of patrolling the streets. You’d better give him an honest price for these herbs.”

The burly man scoffed, looking rather arrogant.

“I see.” The silver-haired man’s smile faded. “So what do you think is a fair price?”

“I don’t think it’s worth a single coin!” With that, the burly man grabbed all the Sunward Herbs from the stall, gave the vendor a disdainful look, and then walked away.

The rest of the merchants wore sympathetic expressions when they saw this.

As the saying goes, “The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with”. These low-level officials are all ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out bones. If you can tolerate them, do it.

…

The middle-aged vendor comforted him, “Brother, don’t be too upset. Just think of it as getting rid of bad luck by losing some money. This person took your herbs today, and he probably won’t bother you again for at least a month.

“Oh? It seems you’ve all gotten used to it,” the silver-haired youth asked with a smile.

“How could we not get used to it? If we resist, we’ll inevitably be harassed by them again and again, and we won’t even be able to do business. All these losses are like feeding the dogs. But if you think about it that way, you’ll feel a little better,” said another with a bitter smile.

“But I think the days ahead will only get better.”

“Why?” the silver-haired man asked curiously.

“Of course, it’s because of Master Qin’s Peaceful Academy! In the past, the officials were all born into privileged families, so how could they care about us commoners? But in the last Imperial Examination, the top three were all students of Master Qin’s Peaceful Academy. When they become high-ranking officials, they will definitely punish those corrupt officials. Won’t that be a good time for the common people?”

As soon as the topic turned to Master Qin, the group’s conversation couldn’t be stopped.

The silver-haired man didn’t interfere, but listened quietly.

He had infiltrated the Imperial City specifically to watch Qin Feng. In the last battle against the Asura Tribe, both Liu Jianli and Qin Feng displayed the Immortal Technique!

As a practitioner of the Immortal Way, he knew very well that it was no longer possible to attract the Primordial Immortal Qi in this world!

Just as he was thinking, the middle-aged man beside him spoke up: “Brother, why are you so silent? Are you still brooding over what just happened?”

“Sigh, there is no need to dwell on it. Such people will naturally face divine retribution. Let’s just concentrate on living our own lives.”

“Divine retribution?” The silver-haired youth’s slightly narrowed eyes flickered with a cold light.

“I never believe in such things.”

The others exchanged glances and shook their heads. Of course, they didn’t believe in such things either, but it was just a way of comforting themselves.

Meanwhile, the burly man was up to his old tricks, bullying other vendors.

But just as the vendor was about to hand over the money, which was supposed to be protection money, the burly man’s eyes suddenly became bloodshot. Then he stiffened all over and collapsed backwards, his body rigid.

The sudden turn of events shocked the surrounding crowd. The vendor called out several times, but there was no response from the burly man.

One brave bystander reached for the burly man’s nose, only to recoil in horror.

“No… no breath.”

…

Inside the Moonlit Pavilion Residence, it was naturally crowded, with even the private rooms fully occupied.

As luck would have it, a table by the window became available, and the waiter quickly made room for Qin Feng and his companion.

As soon as they sat down, it didn’t take long for the hot pot to bubble and emit an enticing aroma. Bai Wushuang’s eyes lit up and she eagerly grabbed the chopsticks, disregarding her manners.

In order to prevent the other party from accidentally drinking wine and causing unnecessary casualties, Qin Feng deliberately brought the wine bottle in front of him.

Just as he poured the wine and lifted the cup, a voice suddenly caught his attention in the middle of the noisy hall.

“Do you know that something big happened in the Qin family yesterday?”

Qin Feng’s eyebrows twitched at the words, but he didn’t pay too much attention.

What this person called a big event was nothing more than the fact that members of the Sword Dao Alliance were temporarily staying at the Qin residence.

Given the speed at which news spreads in the Imperial City, this matter was probably already widely known.

Indeed, as soon as this person spoke, someone laughed and said, “Are you talking about the Sword Dao Alliance? Master Qin’s wife, Liu Jianli, is a disciple of the Myriad Sword Sect. It’s no big deal for people from the Sword Dao Alliance to come to the Imperial City on business and temporarily stay at the Qin residence.”

“Yes, exactly.”

The speaker sneered, “Why would I bother to share such news with everyone? What I want to talk about is the secret relationship between the Sword Emperor’s daughter, Bai Wushuang, and Qin Feng!”

“Cough, cough.” Unexpectedly, Qin Feng choked on his drink.

The attention of everyone in the hall was also drawn to the speaker.

After all, who doesn’t like gossip in this world?
