Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Various Forces Gather Together (1)_1

"Father, what’s wrong?" Feng Xue entered and, seeing the fury on Feng Jianren’s face, asked with concern.

"The Mo Family is preparing to hold a birthday party for the wench’s daughter, Mo Qiushui. This is the invitation."

Feng Xue’s beautiful face immediately contorted with rage. She couldn’t wait to kill Baili Xie and everyone in the Mo Residence, remembering the day when her clothes were burned off in public.

"Father, shall we go?"

"That Dugu Qianye is the shame of our Feng Family." Feng Jianren said venomously, "Since they have invited us, of course we must go! And we shall prepare a grand gift for her."

When the news that a birthday party was to be held for Dugu Qianye spread, the Mo Residence was filled with joy, and everyone actively prepared for the party. All the courtyards were meticulously cleaned, years of collected treasures were displayed as decorations, and corridors were adorned with red lanterns. The spirited behavior of the people in the residence made Dugu Qianye wonder if maybe a young lady in the residence was about to be married off.

A few days before the birthday, Dugu Qianye was browsing the Refining Manual when Dan Jingtian and others called her out for tea. She had wanted to go out anyway, so after notifying Mo Chi, she left with everyone.

"Brother Baili, I haven’t seen you for so long." Long Lei ran over to Dugu Qianye, grabbing her clothes excitedly and said, "Xiang brother said I would see you today; he didn’t lie to me, haha!"

Seeing Long Lei brightened Dugu Qianye’s mood as well; she was the first person she had met in the Imperial Capital, after all.

"Brother Baili, will you go shopping with me later? Ancient Pavilion just got a new batch of fabrics that are said to be beautiful. I asked Xiang brother and the others to accompany me, but they were unwilling. Brother Baili, will you come with me?" Long Lei looked at Dugu Qianye with large, watery eyes, almost as if she would burst into tears if he said no.

"Brother, we still have to go for tea. Shopping for clothes, that’s a girl’s thing, we shouldn’t get involved," Dan Jingtian pulled Dugu Qianye aside, speaking disdainfully. He was a man after all; how could he go shopping with little girls?

"Brother Tian is so annoying!" Long Lei voiced when she saw Dan Jingtian pulling Dugu Qianye away.

Seeing Long Lei’s somewhat disappointed expression, Dugu Qianye said, "It’s still early anyway. You guys go ahead to the teahouse and wait for us; I’ll have a quick look with Lei at Ancient Pavilion then we’ll head over."

Dan Jingtian wanted to say more, but Mo Ziqing interjected, "Alright. See if there’s anything you want to buy too, and later we can send someone to fetch the money from the residence."

Others may not have known, but he was aware that Dugu Qianye was a woman. Seeing her couped up daily practicing her cultivation, without the typical female penchant for shopping, they had all wanted to get her out for a while, and today was a good opportunity.

Dugu Qianye and Long Lei hired a carriage to Ancient Pavilion, with Long Lei happily chattering nonstop, telling Baili all about the gifts she received for New Year’s and the things she had done recently, sharing all the latest occurrences in her life. Dugu Qianye just listened with a smile, enjoying her happiness.

After about half an hour, the carriage slowed to a halt and finally stopped in front of a store. Long Lei opened the door and hopped out. Once Dugu Qianye got out, she directed the carriage to a parking spot to wait.

Dugu Qianye took a moment to appreciate Ancient Pavilion’s décor; elegant and dignified, it had the aura of a shop with a long history. Once inside, Long Lei was immediately ushered by the proprietor into a private room to view the new arrivals, showing she was a frequent customer.

Ancient Pavilion lived up to its reputation as an established store; the quality of goods was indeed better than others, with stylish and attractive patterns. Long Lei bought fabrics worth thousands of Gold Coins, and Dugu Qianye, unable to resist, also purchased a roll for each of the Mo siblings.

"Brother Baili, wasn’t I right? The fabrics here are really pretty!" Long Lei, having procured what she wanted, was even more delighted.

"It is quite nice,"

Dugu Qianye joked with his companion as they left, not expecting to see the Feng Sisters upon descending the stairs.

"Manager, bring out the new Snow Satin fabric for us to see," Feng Shuang said as she walked towards the private room, casually giving orders.

"Oh, Second Miss, I’m terribly sorry. The Snow Satin has just sold out. Would you like to look at something else?" the manager replied.

"Sold out? So quickly?" Feng Xue asked in surprise, "Weren’t they usually unsold in the past?"

Despite its quality, the Snow Satin’s color was too plain and the price was astronomical. Those who could afford it didn’t like it, and those who liked it couldn’t afford it, so it was always Feng Xue who ended up buying it. Since the incident at the academy, Feng Shuang had been too afraid to go out. Only when she heard that Ancient Pavilion got new stock, including her favorite Snow Satin, had she decided to venture out. To think that someone else had bought it!

"Who bought the Snow Satin?" Feng Shuang asked with a cold face.

Before the manager could respond, Long Lei leaned on the stair’s handrail, looking down at the Feng Sisters and said loudly, "Oh, isn’t this the Feng Family’s Flower Peacock and Plucked Chicken? I heard that last time at the academy, your clothes were burnt to ashes, Miss Feng, and you were too scared to go outside. Never thought I’d see you here—it’s quite the surprise!"

The people in the store were all drawn to Long Lei’s voice, their gazes falling on Feng Xue, imagining what the first beauty looked like with her clothes burned off. Feng Xue, seen by those vile eyes, felt both mortified and furious, her face flushed red.

"What are you looking at! I will gouge out the eyes of anyone who keeps staring!" Feng Shuang rebuked the onlookers. The meeker and less influential people, scared off, hid to the side.

Long Lei and Dugu Qianye descended the stairs. Long Lei approached them and said, "I’m looking, I’m looking—come and gouge out my eyes then! Weren’t you asking who bought the Snow Satin? Oh dear, I’m so sorry, but my brother Baili just beat you to it by a hair’s breadth."

"Baili Xie!" Only then did Feng Xue notice Dugu Qianye standing behind her, her silver teeth nearly shattering in anger.

"Baili Xie, I didn’t expect you to still be alive!" Feng Shuang also spotted Dugu Qianye, exclaiming in fury.

Dugu Qianye smirked and said, "If you are all still here, how could I possibly die?"

"Don’t think you can be at peace just because you’re hiding in the Mo Residence; let’s see how long they can protect you!"

"Is that so? I’m actually quite looking forward to it!" Dugu Qianye said as he pulled Long Lei with him to leave, "We’re off to have tea, so excuse us. By the way, my Liehuo said last time he didn’t get enough of the ’all-bare beauty,’ haha!"

Feng Shuang stamped her foot in anger as she watched their retreating figures, "This is too much! Father must dismember that Baili Xie and chop up the people of the Mo Family and Long Family to feed the dogs!"

Feng Xue stared out into the street through the door, silent. Since the Mo Family wants to protect you, then you can all go to hell together! Just wait for the birthday of that slut Mo Qiushui’s daughter; I will give you a surprise!

Even though it was a celebration being held for herself, Dugu Qianye hardly paid any mind to it, instead, spending every day on Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and training.

On the morning of February 14th, Dugu Qianye sat cross-legged on the bed in meditation when suddenly, the surrounding Phantom Power rushed towards her, forming a white vortex above her head and infusing into her body.
