Xia Tian stared blankly at the ceiling, he was curious about that person named Long Tian. But for now he couldn't go to the western continent, because it was too far away and very expensive, moreover his cultivation was still too low.
Xia Xing didn't bother Xia Tian who seemed lost in thought, she knew that it must be shocking for Xia Tian to know there was someone with the same name as his past name.
"Long...Tian..." Xia Tian muttered to himself.
[Don't think too much about that person, Master. It could be a mere coincidence, even in the old world too many people use the name Long Tian.]
'En. I'm just curious, Alice. Especially with the spices and decorations in this place.' Xia Tian replied as he inwardly sighed.
[It seems that the conjecture is correct, there is someone from that world who were reincarnated or transferred here like you Master]
Xia Xing moved to sit next to him, and leaning on Xia Tian's shoulder, then asked him. "Tian. Are you thinking about the owner of that Long Tian name?"
"Just a little Xing'er. Maybe it's just a mere coincidence, but it's those spices that intrigue me the most. After we eat, I'll go buy the ingredients to make the same spices." Xia Tian said, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, and he rubbed Xia Xing's arm. He was silent for a few moments, then continued. "Besides that, I also want to buy fish and other things to test something. If my guess is correct, then I can start my own business."
Xia Xing understood the reason why Xia Tian wanted to start his own business, after all he had lived for thousands of years. So it was only natural that he didn't want to depend on the Xia family, she was also happy that Xia Tian had now become more mature and independent. Xia Xing then said sheepishly. "Tian, kiss me"
Xia Tian smiled then lifted her chin, and he immediately kissed Xia Xing's lips passionately. "Mmhhnn~"
While they were enjoying their kiss, suddenly the VIP room door opened. Wu Ling's eyes widened when she saw the two of them kissing passionately, Xia Xing panicked and immediately buried her face into Xia Tian's chest.
She really wanted to dig a hole to hide, not expecting that someone would witness herself kissing her cousin. Xia Tian chuckled at Xia Xing's reaction, he himself didn't care what other people thought.
'What the hell, they're a family but kissing passionately like lovers.' Wu Ling inwardly said, her face turned red watching their kiss even if it was only for a moment, she immediately served all their dishes and then ran away from the room.
"You're really bad, Tian. What if the waitress gossips about us later?" Xia Xing grumbled, as she hit Xia Tian's chest lightly again and again.
Xia Tian laughed softly at her bashful look. "It's not a problem, just let her gossip anyway, I don't care what people say, so you don't have to care what people say either."
They began to eat all the dishes that were served in front of them, until 30 minutes later they finished all the dishes. They immediately left the VIP room, but by the time they were paying, Wu Ling looked at them with blushing face, and they laughed at her expression.
Xia Tian immediately took her to the spices shops , he bought all the spices to be combined later. He also bought a few jars of milk to make cheese, and he also bought many other things.
Xia Xing was surprised, because Xia Tian bought so many things, so he asked. "What else do you want to buy, Tian? You've bought so many things."
"I want to buy fish, turtles and some other aquatic animals. I intend to breed them in the pond in the middle of the house later." Xia Tian then grabbed Xia Xing's hand. "But before that, I want to go to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion first, because I need some ingredients to make pills."
In less than five minutes, they arrived in front of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and Xia Tian immediately led Xia Xing inside, then he started looking for the ingredients he needed. But suddenly he stopped, because something caught his attention.
Xia Xing turned to the thing Xia Tian saw. "You are interested in that guzheng, Little Tian?"
-------------------------------
Past memory
"Tian! I want you to learn to play this guzheng."
"Eh? Can I not learn that, Lifen?"
"That's a Big No! I want to hear you play guzheng!"
"Alright...Alright...I'll learn from you how to play it, my dear Lifen."
"Hehehe..."
-------------------------------
"Tian..." Xia Xing waved her hand in front of Xia Tian's face as she called out to him many times, but she was instantly dumbfounded when she saw tears welling up from Xia Tian's eyes. "What's the matter with you, Tian?"
[You miss Madam Lifen, Master?]
'Of course, I will always miss Lifen, Alice. But sadly, we won't be able to see each other again.' Xia Tian quickly wiped his tears, as he answered Xia Xing. "It's okay, I just remembered a very old memory, Xing'er."
He then walked over to the maidservant at the guzheng counter, then he plucked one string, as he asked. "How much does this guzheng cost, Miss? I'm interested in buying it."
His strange behavior made Xia Xing baffled, as she remembered that Xia Tian had never learned to play a musical instrument before, but now suddenly he wants to buy a guzheng, and he also cried seeing that guzheng earlier. But then she remembered that Xia Tian had memories of his past life, and that he also had a wife in his past life. 'Did his wife used to play guzheng? Because his reaction became really sad when he saw that guzheng earlier.'
The maidservant then looked at Xia Tian, and she was surprised to see him, then she replied sarcastically. "Oh? Young Master Xia intends to buy this Guzheng? I really didn't expect you to be interested in anything else other than women."
"So this is how the Thousand Treasure Pavilion treats their customers? Even a lowly maidservant dares to mock people who intend to buy something, what a disappointment." Xia Tian spoke coldly, as he shook his head, he then turned around to search other items with Xia Xing.
The maid was taken aback by Xia Tian's attitude, as she remembered Xia Tian was not that serious, he even often teased the maidservants in other places, and it had become common talk among the women.
Xia Xing was so angry that the maidservant was being so flippant to Xia Tian, she was about to berate the maidservant. "You insolent maidservant-"
But Xia Tian immediately stopped her. "There's no need to be angry to such a lowly maidservant, Xing'er."
Even if it was only for a moment, Xia Xing's angry voice caused everyone present to turn their heads towards them. They started whispering after seeing Xia Tian's figure, Xia Tian himself couldn't care less about their whispering, but it made Xia Xing even angrier.
"Let's look elsewhere, Tian. This Thousand Treasure Pavilion' has no respect for their customers at all, even their maidservant dares to be so impudent." Xia Xing stomped her foot on the ground, then she dragged Xia Tian away from the place, but just as they were about to leave, suddenly another female voice called out to the two of them.
"Please wait a moment, Young Master Tian, Xing'er."
