As Xiao Yan saw that Xiao Ning'er was going to cry, he gestured at Ye Ziyun to come.
Xiao Ning'er muttered, "She'll never forgive me, I was so horrible"
He stood up and took her hands to make her stand, "Of course she'll forgive you, she's your best friend"
She looked at him, her eyes filled of guilt, "How can she ever forgive me?"
By now Ye Ziyun was already next to him, so he muttered to her ears, "Just hug her and she'll understand your feelings, sometimes words are unnecessary"
She looked at Ziyun and hesitantly opened her arms, "Ziyun…"
Her friend walked towards her and finally also opened her arms and hugged her. At first they were a little awkward, but soon they both felt each other's warmth and started to cry.
"Ziyun, I'm so sorry"
"Ning'er, you don't need to, it was me who didn't understand what you were going through"
They then tried to take all the blames for themselves while crying as they both felt guilty.
When they finally calmed down, they looked at Xiao Yan with gazes filled with gratitude, he smiled and said, "Ning'er, I'll take you to the place I wanted to another day. Today you should spend your time with Ziyun to catch the lost time, what do you think?"
"Okay", Even though she wanted to be alone with him, she also wanted to be alone with Ziyun. It might get awkward again if they don't spend some time together today. As for Xiao Yan, she was sure that a few days wouldn't change anything.
"I'll leave you girls together then", He said while leaving them.
While looking at his leaving figure with a smile, she asked Ziyun a single thing, "Shopping?", which made her eyes light up and she immediately nodded, making the first one laugh, soon joined by the second.

Xiao Yan greeted Xue Yin when he arrived at the Inscriptionist Association, "Big sister Xue Yin, here are some gifts for you", he gave her two bottles of elixirs and a jar of Blood Crystals, "Inside this bottle are ten Soul Tempering Pills, this one ten Scarlet Body Enhancing Pills and this jar contains refined Blood Crystals, it'll help you reach the Legend Rank faster".
"Thanks little brother", She took them without hesitating, she knew that he was sincere.
He put a lot of rings on the counter, "Here are the 250 Black Gold Rank Storage Rings that were ordered from the Association"
As she checked the rings, she noticed that they were of the new version, two hundred cubic meters each.
She was going to ask if he wanted to increase the price, but he said, "I think you should keep the same price, even if the space is double, they are still made from Black Gold Rank Inscription Scrolls. I need your help to sell the Legend Rank ones"
"Oh? You managed to make them?", She was excited, It has been hundreds of years since someone who could make Legend Rank Inscription was seen in Glory City, now the one who made them was just fourteen years old?
"Yes, I'm going to sell forty of them and keep ten for myself. I will sell them to the Association at 8 Millions DSC each, since the price is always ten times more when going up one rank", he then gave her forty rings.
"You can make it more expensive or make an Auction, since even the biggest ones in the City right now are of few hundreds cubic meters, none of them reached one thousand"
"Keep it at 8 Millions DSC, I'll make more in the future so that anyone who has the money will be able to buy one. I'll let you choose the people who you want to sell them to first. I just don't want the people to know that I'm the one who made them, it would be too troublesome"
"Okay. Little brother, you'll have to wait tonight or tomorrow before getting paid, I don't have 520 Millions DSC on me", She said while smiling wryly, this teenager was getting even richer than the whole Inscriptionist Association!
"Don't worry, it's not like I need it now"
He then bought ten thousand Blank Inscription Scrolls, one thousand rings and enough bottles of demon beast blood of various attributes and ranks to complete all of the Inscription Scrolls orders.
She decided to pay for him again, then he understood that it was nothing compared to the profits the association was going to make with the rings he just sold. He knew that for something that he sold at 8 Million DSC to them, they would make at least 1 Million DSC of profits. All the rings he just sold would make 25 Million DSC for the 250 Black Gold Rank ones and 40 Million DSC for the Legend Rank ones. Altogether the price for what he bought wasn't even one tenth of it.
It was still a kind gesture that he was surely the only one receiving, so he appreciated it.
After leaving her, he decided to check the Heavenly Fate Plateau to see how much of the rice Xiao Wu already exchanged.
He easily spotted the Chief's House. One of the guards at the entrance recognized him and went inside to notify the Chief, he rapidly came back to lead Xiao Yan inside.
It was a kind of main hall and the Tribe Chief was alone. He greeted Xiao Yan and said, "Young Master, all of the exchanges have been done a few hours ago"
He gave him his storage ring back, and added, "We traded 83 190 Purple Smoke Rocks for 8 319 bags and 1 146 700 Demon Spirits for 11 467 bags, the remaining 214 bags are still inside your ring"
"Thanks", While the amount of Rocks didn't surprise him, the Demon Spirits left him really shocked.
He then took out the bags of rice since there was more than enough space in the hall they were in, "Uncle Wu, you can keep the remaining bags of rice for yourself as compensation for the time you've lost"
