That night, Luo Lingwei did not attend the banquet when Night Lianhe invited Tor. After all, as the princess, she was the prince's wife and not an ordinary person would be able to see her.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion's Lianhe invited Thor to a banquet in the backyard, while Luo Lingwei and Xiaoqing disguised themselves and left the City Lord's Mansion, coming to their own storefront to eat. Although Zhang Long and Zhao Hu happened to meet Ye Lianhe on this trip, their duty was still to protect Luo Lingwei, so they followed Luo Lingwei back to the inn.
Moreover, the two of them did not know why, but after staying with Luo Lingwei for more than a year, although their abilities had improved in all aspects, they were gradually becoming a little unaccustomed to the restrained manner of the Prince's Mansion. This time, he left the City Lord's Mansion with Luo Lingwei. After leaving Ye Lianhe's side, his entire body became relaxed and at ease.
The few of them finished their dinner in the inn, drank some wine, and then fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, after Luo Lingwei woke up, Xiaoqing prepared breakfast for her. After having breakfast, Luo Lingwei, Xiaoqing, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu left the inn and went for a stroll in the market. Yesterday, Luo Lingwei had bought that piece of unpolished jade, and now she wanted to find a craftsman in the market to carve a piece of jade for her.
However, when they arrived at the stall from yesterday, they realized that old man Tian wasn't doing business in front of them and that the stall was empty.
”Excuse me, may I ask why old man Tian isn't here today?” Luo Lingwei was a bit confused, so she asked a peddler beside her.
”Old Man Tian, I don't know either. It must be because he's not feeling well, so he didn't come out.” The peddler at the side thought that old man Tian had done something shameful, so he didn't mind his own business and casually said this.
Luo Lingwei nodded her head and didn't take it to heart. She brought a few more people to stroll around the market, and after much difficulty, she found a craftsman with decent craftsmanship and got him to help her carve a jade pendant. The appearance of this jade pendant was comparable to the one made by the Mysterious Iron Token that Ye Lianhe gave her.
Unknowingly, another two or three days had passed. On this day, Luo Lingwei estimated that the jade pendant was about to be ready, so she took her people to the jade smith's shop to retrieve it. After getting the jade pendant, Luo Lingwei was very happy. Although this piece of jade was made of water, there was still some water vapor inside. After this process, the water vapor had become crystal clear under the sunlight.
Once again, Luo Lingwei passed in front of the old man's stall and found that the peddler there had become a different person. He was not the old man who was bargaining with Luo Lingwei at the start, but was instead a young man.
”Excuse me, may I ask where is the old man Tian who was in this stall?” Luo Lingwei asked in confusion.
That young man was also honest. Seeing that Luo Lingwei didn't look like a bad person, he directly told her: ”My lady, from the first look, you are from outside the country. This old man Tian offended Yang's brother, so he was found and cleaned up by someone two days ago.
Originally, old man Tian should have been fine. It was just because he had acted arrogantly and allowed Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to injure the moustache man and his two subordinates. Now, the moustache man did not dare to seek revenge, so he had vented his anger on old man Tian.
”Because of me right now, I'll definitely take care of it, or else my heart won't be able to rest.” Luo Lingwei thought to herself. After making up her mind, she asked about where Old Man Tian's family lived, then instructed Xiaoqing to buy some supplements to go to Old Man Tian's house.
Old Man Tian was also a poor family. He had no real estate in the city, so he dug a cave in a small hill two miles away from the city. Old Man Tian originally had a son, but he had died at the hands of a horse a few years ago. Now, only he and his wife lived in this broken cave.
