Feng Yun comfortably laid back on the sofa, then said, "Aunt Shixin, how is your cultivation?"
"Thanks to you, I have reached the Fourth Stage of Gold Core Realm directly." Li Shixin smiled brightly at him and replied.
"You're welcome." Feng Yun gave a soft smile. "So, how is the business going? You seem very busy."
"It's good. I am considering expanding our business in neighbouring cities. The resources in Maple Leaf City are limited, if we want to grow our business, we have to expand the territory." Li Shixin said as she expressed her thoughts.
"This is all the research, consisting of the locations, land prices, and hot selling products in each city." Li Shixin pointed towards the substantial bundle of documents and uttered.
Feng Yun nodded, "Expansion is necessary to grow a business. So, have you decided on which city you are aiming for?"
Li Shixin shook her head in response and said, "I haven't confirmed it yet, but White Stone City is a pretty good choice. Although it is a bit further away, it is much bigger, and it is close to the large sect, but it is difficult to open a business in White Stone City"
"Oh, why" Feng Yun asked curiously.
Li Shixin let out a sigh and said, "It is not easy to open a new shop in White Stone City, it is very expensive, and we have to upgrade our products. These low-grade products will be looked upon in White Stone City. The average cultivation level of White Stone and the number of cultivators are much higher than in Maple Leaf City. We can start from a small shop, but it will not generate enough revenue to cover all the expenses as we have to buy shops and houses."
Hearing his world, Feng Yun saw an opportunity. Owning a big empire of business seemed pretty good. He has both resources and products, he can fund Li Shixin in business and make money. He didn't have to do anything, with the Feng Clan's support, Li Shixin could manage the entire business herself.
"Since White Stone City is not possible right now, Red Fort City will do." Li Shixin said. "I am thinking of visiting Red Fort City tomorrow."
"With whom are you going out? Can I tag along?" Feng Yun's interest piqued instantly when he heard she was going out.
"I am going alone, you can come if you want." Li Shixin said. Feng Yun smiled brightly upon hearing her words. After that, Feng Yun and Li Shixin talked for a while and got to know each other better.
After leaving the shop, he started to stroll around. Without notching that someone was observing him from a distance.
The figure was enshrouded in black attire, concealing his visage with a cover, revealing only two beautiful blue gem-like pupils that were filled with rage and anger.
He was unaware of the danger and ignorantly roamed the streets. At this time, Feng Yun stopped in front of a vendor that was selling some handicrafts.
Feng Yun started to check handicrafts, and while he was distracted, he felt a tap on his waist. He looked at the side and instinctively touched his waist, He was about to ignore it, but he found something was missing.
At this time, Feng Yun realized that someone had stolen the pendant hanging on his waist. That pendant was his father's, if it gets lost, he will be scolded by his father.
Feng Yun hastily looked around, and searched for the thief. The road was not crowded, which was a good thing for him, making it harder for the thief to blend in the crowd and disappear.
After searching for a few moments, Feng Yun's focus fell on a black clothed person who was shifting through the crowd hastily as he was running from something. Feng Yun felt suspicious and chased after the black clothed person.
The black clothed person looked back, seeing Feng Yun following him, he panicked and started to run. This also confirmed Feng Yun's suspicion.
Seeing Feng Yun about to catch up to him, the thief panicked and changed his route. The thief suddenly entered a secluded alley.
Feng Yun naturally followed the thief into the alley. Feng Yun found the black clothed person standing in the middle of the deserted alley facing him.
'Why did he stop running?' Feng Yun walked toward the person and thought inwardly.
At this time, Feng Yun couldn't help but think that something was wrong. He recollected the entire incident sequentially, first, the pickpocketing, attired in black attire during daylight, which sparked his suspicion and purposefully lured him into this secluded alley. That thief lured him here on purpose, it was a setup.
Feng Yun's nerves became tense as he looked around cautiously, trying to find the hidden enemies or killers.
Feng Yun looked at the black-cloaked figure and asked, "You lured me here, What do you want?"
The figure stared at him silently for a second before reaching out to remove his cover.
"Your death!" A girl's voice sounded from behind the mask, which surprised Feng Yun.
As the figure removed his cover, a beautiful face was revealed. It was the face of a teenage girl. Seeing the little familiar face, Feng Yun was stunned.
Feng Yun fell into silence, as he recognized the face. It was none other than Su Mei. Feng Yun's anger disappeared, replaced with a guilty expression. However, he couldn't find the courage to say a word to her.
Su Mei on the other hand held a sword in her hand and declared while pointing the tip at him, "You will die very painfully today."
She charged at him straight, Feng Yun knew that he couldn't quell her anger, nor could he explain to her about his transmigration. Even if he told her, she wouldn't believe him.
In the past, Feng Yun was no match for her, but it was different today. However, Feng Yun had no desire to fight her. Just as the sword was about to hit him, he took a step to the side, evading the sword by a thin margin, surprising Su Mei.
Su Mei turned around and attacked again however, Feng Yun evaded as easily as before, further surprising her.
"Can we talk a little?" Feng Yun said, "Give me a chance to explain. I want to apologize to you."
'Apologies!' Su Mei clenched her teeth, how could she accept an apology? With what he has done to her, apology was never enough, she wanted his life. She wanted to torture him and kill him with her own hands.
Subsequent to the incident, she experienced mental distress and confined herself to her room for several days. She used to have a delicate personality but after that day, she has become cold and silent.
She thought her father would avenge her but it turned out her father made peace with the Feng Clan in exchange for the Heaven Rank exercise. Her father can forgive Feng Yun, but she can't. If her father can't avenge her, she will take her revenge herself. When she got the news that Feng Yun had left the Feng Clan alone, she came out to take revenge.
