“Bai Zhiqui. Why does that name sound familiar? Wait a minute! Isn’t that the girl who I was engaged to?! That is her? Oh my god, you have got to be kidding me.” I shook my head. By now, she was already gone.

“No wonder she wanted to break off the engagement. She can do so much better than whatever I was before. No wonder. Well, a pity.” I muttered as I walked towards the bath houses. I was in a need for a relaxing place.

“Where are you going? The baths are closed. There is a VIP inside. No one is allowed to go inside now.” the guard stopped me.

“There is someone inside? This is getting outrageous. Who is it? I am the young master of the Liu Family. I think that if you are stopping me, then I deserve an answer.” I said, holding my ground.

“Who is it? You don’t need to know. All that you need to know is that even the city lord will move aside for this man. So why don’t you just go something else, and maybe at the end of the day the bath will be free for you.” the guard said.

“Someone that even the city lord will move aside for? That sounds ominous. Why would someone so powerful come to the city here? This ain’t some great city.” I wondered. I continued walking until I reached a part of the city that I had never gone to before. This was the luxury part of the commercial district. Everything here was at least a few thousand gold coins, and some even reached that price in spirit coins.

I looked around. The names of the shops made me snicker.

“Medicine Hall”

“Armament Hall”

They might sound funny, but I was genuinely interested in them. I stepped it up and went into the Armament Hall. I wanted to find an armor for myself, one that was light and not visible. This seemed like the best place to get one without the Liu family knowing.

The shop was full. There were people at every corner. The moment that I entered, I heard a voice beside me.

“How may I help you, Sir?” a young woman attendant was standing next to me.

“I want an armor? Earth rank. How much will that set me back by?” I asked.

“An earth ranked armor will be about 100,000 spirit coins, sir.” the attendant said, and her expression changed. Any business that was that much would certainly give her a huge commission.

“Show me the earth ranked armor. I want to get one that is light and is not visible beneath the clothes.” I said.

“Of course, Sir. It is right this way.” The attendant led me deep into the shop, where the number of customers decreased considerably. She showed me five options for the armors, of which only one was what I wanted.

“So then, what is this called?” I asked, looking at the thin robe that looked nothing like an armor. It was just a robe! But apparently, it was made with monster feathers, and was extremely powerful.

“This is the Blue Feather Robe. It is one of our expensive offerings, at 250,000 spirit coins. It is an Earth Ranked Medium Grade armor.” the attendant said.

“Fine. I’ll take it. Better this than nothing.” I said as I gave her my Shanxia card. She took the card and went inside. I frowned. I would rather that the money transactions happened in front of me, but I could not complain. At such a big shop, I did not want to look like the petty guy. I waited.

Soon enough, she returned.

“The transaction has gone through, Young Master. The robe is yours. Do you wish to pack it, or do you wish to wear it right now?” the attendant asked.

“Well, it is always good to have some extra protection. Do you have a room where I can just put this on?” I asked.

“There is one, Sir. I can take you there.” The attendant nodded and she took the robe gently off the case that it was resting on. She then went further into the shop, and handed me the robe.

“Are you going to stand there? I think a little privacy is better suited when I take off my clothes.” I said with a harsh tone. She was just standing there! Like it was nothing. I didn’t like that.

“Yes sir, of course. Forgive me for this offense.” the attendant bowed and left the room. I put the robe underneath my clothes and started moving around to test it. There was a mirror, and indeed, it didn’t look like I was wearing an armor beneath my clothes. But there was one question that haunted me. Was it going to work?

I took a sword and tried to cut the fabric of the robe. Nothing happened. I tried piercing it. Still, nothing happened. My worries were unfounded. These feathers were stronger and tougher than even my own skin.

“What kind of beast is able to have feathers so strong? And who the hell is able to kill such a beast? Everything that I do just reminds me how weak I am.” I shook my head.

I headed over to leave. The shop was still as bustling as ever. I headed over to the street and looked at both sides. There was nothing that interesting, except an over ambitious resteraunt. One that called itself the best in the world. I shook my head. Although I got somethings done, I was just unlucky today. I did not get to do what I wanted.

“Look who it is! The dark horse of the Liu Family. I wonder how much you actually paid Liu Xin, for him to actually lose against you? He has his priorities set, of course. With the admission into the martial gathering confirmed, he could just throw the match for some money. Or is it that the Liu Family is so weak that two foundation establishment stages could not even beat a cripple” I heard a voice behind me. It felt familiar, and for some reason, an intense rage came up.
