Lingshui Street was the loneliest commercial street in Ren City, but it was the biggest market, because what was sold here were not ordinary household items, but spiritual items that were used by spirit users. There were elixir pills made from elixirs, spiritual weapons forged with spiritual energy minerals, inner cores of various demon beasts, and materials; the prices listed here were based on gold coins as the basic unit.
The two shops managed by Bai Chen were located on Loulan Street, and they were well-placed. After all, they were owned by the Bai Clan, and in Ren City, the Bai Clan was one of the top families.
The other families in the city liked to find trouble with him, but no one dared to find trouble in the Bai Clan store. If they did so, they would not find trouble with Bai Chen, but with the Bai Clan. At that time, the one who would stand out would definitely be the Bai Clan's Elder in charge.
This wasn't the first time they had encountered such a hubbub in the shop, but it was all because of the transaction with the mercenary company and the treasure hunt. This time, Bai Chen could faintly hear someone calling his name, indicating that he had come to find him.
Bai Chen walked to the front desk, and the noisy crowd quieted down. Many of the young masters who loved to bully Bai Chen all looked at him with ridiculing expressions. When Bai Chen saw the peerlessly beautiful young lady standing in the middle of the shop, he took a deep breath, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Qiu Yun was a direct descendant of the Qiu Family in Canghai City. She was the same age as Bai Chen and her mother was a side branch of the Bai Family. Her father was responsible for the business of the Qiu Family in Ren City and was on good terms with Bai Chen's father.
Bai Chen's father and her father's relationship was not very good. However, it could not be compared to the relationship between the two of them. The reason for that was because the two of them were betrothed to each other. She was Bai Chen's fiancée.
When she found out that she was going to marry this silly little girl in the future, Bai Chen was not too happy and often took the lead to tease her. There was even one time when he burnt her hair, making Qiu Yun cry at home for three days without going out.
Although Bai Chen's innate talent and comprehension were unparalleled, his character was inferior. He could play the role of a popinjay and act like a hooligan at such a young age. He definitely wasn't a good husband.
Qiu Yun's mother was very dissatisfied with the marriage. After Bai Chen burnt Qiu Yun's hair, she brought her back to Canghai City, and left behind a message for the marriage to be annulled. However, at that time, Bai Chen was in high spirits and was overjoyed upon hearing this, so Qiu Yun's father shook his head and did not object.
Four years had passed in a flash, and the little yellow haired girl from back then had a slender and elegant appearance, with jet-black hair like a piece of satin, and a pair of large eyes like a young girl's haughtiness on her beautiful face. Her ten fingers were as white as a scallion, and her slender waist was as thin as a willow.
Bai Chen looked at the young girl in front of him, his heart filled with countless thoughts. At this moment, she was just like how he had looked at her back then. Her eyes were filled with disdain and haughtiness.
Bai Chen opened his mouth a few times. Finally, he shook his head with a bitter smile, unable to say a single word.
After Qiu Yun looked at Bai Chen for a while, she took out a low Grade Three Dan Ink Lotus and said, ”Help me keep this lotus in my custody for three days. If it returns to me safely after three days, you and I will settle things. If you still don't come back, you will either be beaten by Xiao Ya or have your hair shaved.”
Everything had to do with retribution, and because of some other reason, it had turned out to be fruitful. Bai Chen's own fault in the past had come back after four years.
If it was four years ago, when he had just lost his spiritual energy, Bai Chen would have been furious and resentful towards Ouyang Yun and Xiao Ya. But now, it was different, because this was very fair.
Bai Chen nodded as he received the Ink Lotus. He was willing to give up an Inferior Grade Three Ink Lotus for revenge. It could be seen how much he had bullied her. After so many years, Qiu Yun was even willing to pay such a price to avenge her grievance.
In this world, spiritual medicines were divided into nine grades, with each grade being divided into upper, middle, and lower.
After throwing down the Ink Lotus, Qiu Yun didn't want to spare Bai Chen another glance as he turned around and left. After the two girls left, a group of people, who liked to bully Bai Chen, surrounded them.
”Great genius Chen, I didn't expect your wife to be so infatuated with you. She came to see you as soon as we arrived in Ren City, and even left you a Dan Ink Lotus. The two of you really have strong feelings for each other.” Liu Qi ridiculed him while feigning admiration.
On the side, Wang Shaotian sneered: ”Haha …” ”Genius Chen, right now, you are just a piece of trash. What use do you have for this Ink Lotus? How about you give it to me. Beauty's grace, you can't accept it either. It's good for you to quickly divorce her.”
”Originally, you looked down on me. Now, look at me. I am like a fairy. Furthermore, looking at you, you are even inferior to a dog.”
He had listened to these cold words for four years, and every time he heard them, the anger in his heart would grow. Some of these people had been bullied by him, but in these past four years, he had been bullied ten times, a hundred times more! There was a part of him that was not worthy of being bullied at all. For the past four years, he had been constantly bullied!
The cycle of karma was a form of retribution! He had already paid them back for the past four years, but he would one day make them pay for what they owed him! Ten times, a hundred times!
