The Chang Family was one of the Four great families in the Song Royal Region, the family was successful in doing two big businesses, the business being the Lodging business and the market at some point of the city.

But the Chang Family is not only the only family that runs the business, there is still one big family that is a competitor of his business, he said, it was the Tang Family who were also doing a similar Business so the two big families were competing against each other.

Other than the two, there were still two other large families who also had strong reputations as well as influence in the Song Region, they were the Chu Family, and the Li Family.

The Chu Family did not undergo any Business, but strangely the family was extremely wealthy and highly respected by people who recognized the status of the Chu family, even one of the Main Families in the Chu Family became a royal higher-up.

The Li family was a family that controlled several coastal areas so the family had two ports that became the center of trade routes from other regions, but unfortunately one of its ports now fell to the Qin Kingdom so the Li Family had to lose half of its business results.

Xianyang City was the largest City that became the Center of the Royal Song Capital, a dense settlement with various types of buildings from the terraced to the usual ones that would be seen when just entering it.

Qian inhaled a deep breath of air after her feet stepped on her native land, despite being her birthplace, but Qian still felt such an unfamiliar feel.

From the outskirts of the city alone, Qian could already see the high Great Wall of the Palace surrounding the entire Palace, but the Pillars of the Palace towering above the height of the palace walls were still very clearly visible.

"Mother! In a moment I will go to our house," Inner Qian stared at the Four Pillars high in the middle of the city.

"Let's find the Chang Family Inn!" bring Fa Lio Bai.

"If it's just to go to the Chang Family Inn, I know where the Inn is," Luan Xui said.

Fa Lio Bai patted his own eel, he had forgotten that now there was Luan Xui who was a native of Xianyang City along with them, of course, he knew more about the City.

"Then ask for his help," Fa Lio Bai said timidly.

"You guys saved me so I should've helped you guys, right?" answer Luan Xui.

Fa Xian and Fa Xeiyin looked at her father's timid behavior in front of Luan Xui, clearly showing that their father had feelings for Luan Xui.

"Come with me!" luan Xui said.

They walked after Luan Xui until they passed through the outskirts of the vast Garden, of course Qian was very fond of the scenery in the park.

It turned out that the Chang Family Inn House was quite close to the city's Garden, the building was very large and had a height of up to four floors.

"Wait first! Before we get in there, shouldn't we go buy clothes?" xeiyin said, she was still a little worried and traumatized given the previous events.

"Is the city market close to here?" ask Qian.

"Not really! It just so happened that the Chang Family City Market was not far from here, if you want to go there I will take you," Luan Xui said.

"How many markets are there?" ask Fa Xeiyin.

"There's two! One belonged to the Chang Family, and another belonged to the Tang Family!" answer Luan Xui.

Luan Xui explained that the two Great Families were competing in the same business field, while explaining on the way, without feeling they had already arrived at the Chang Family Market.

Luan Xui immediately drove them to one of the clothing store that he knew, a simple clothing store that sells clothes of standard quality would certainly not look down on every customer.

"ee? Luan Xui's? I heard that a few days ago you came out of this city because someone attacked your family, who did that?" ask a middle-aged woman.

"The bad guys madam!" luan Xui replied briefly.

"I'm so sorry about the passing of your sister-in-law! Who are they?" ask the woman again.

"They are my friends, we are here because we want to buy clothes" Luan Xui replied.

"Owh then let's go ahead! You guys find yourself matching clothes," said the woman then she spoke to Luan Xui. "You accompany your friends here first, I'll be gone for a while because there are things I have to take today," the woman told Luan Xui.

"Good madam!" answer Luan Xui.

"Please let you try it out, please" said the woman then she nodded to Luan Xui and went outside.

"There's merchandise to grab for a second!" luan Xui said.

"It looks like you guys are very familiar!" fa Lio Bai said.

"Yes, I used to work with him, but because my father was sick at the time, so I stopped working" Luan Xui replied.

"It looks like this red dress is good for me?" Fa Xeiyin took out a Red-colored dress then matched it on her body.

"You try it first, later if it really fits then you buy it, but if it's not okay, too" said Luan Xui.

Fa Xeiyin nodded then Luan Xui took her to the dressing room, while Fa Xian found an attractive outfit in black. Like Fa Xeiyin, she also went to the other dressing room place to try it out.

"I bought this outfit!" qian said as she held the red-striped black clothes on her shoulders as well as black pants.

"What Prince! Ee, I mean don't you want to try it first?" ask Luan Xui.

"No, I'll pay for it straight away then I'll wear it soon," Qian replied.

Fa Lio Bai also found clothes that matched him, and he would pay for them immediately after the shopkeeper came, while Fa Xian and Fa Xeiyin came out with the clothes they tried on.

"Well, you're very pretty wearing that dress Xeiyin," said Luan Xui, who praised Xeiyin's beauty, who looks like she blends the skin and color of her dress.

"Thank you, but this is too big, later if there is something on the road it seems like it will be very difficult for me to move. I'd better look for clothes that are not so troublesome like this but still with the same color" Fa Xeiyin said.

"Is that what you want?" luan Xui asked while pointing towards the clothes hanging.

Fa Xeiyin immediately noticed her and she immediately agreed, as she looked around Fa Xeiyin would buy two dresses of the same shape and color.

After they had all gotten the items they wanted, they still had to wait for the shopkeeper who had not yet arrived. After waiting for a long time, the store owner finally came with a small cloth bond.

"Ah sorry for making you wait so long! How is there any suitable item?" the woman asked after she placed the small package near the table.

Luan Xui nodded then he immediately mentioned the items that had been purchased, since Luan Xui had worked at the place, so he was well aware of every ingredient as well as the price.

Luan Xui immediately handed over the money that Qian had already given her, and the total price of the items all amounted to 17 silver coins, and that price was the standard price for the lower middle class people.

"Thank you very much, next time you want to buy clothes, you can come to my shop!" said the Woman.

"Okay ma'am, then we'll excuse ourselves" Fa Lio Bai said.

"Eee, wait up Sir! The four of you are definitely not Xianyang, so you can leave, but for Luan Xui, he should stay here," the woman said.

They were shocked and looked at each other in confusion, while Luan Xui who started to have an unpleasant premonition looked at the woman who had been his master while asking, "What does Madam mean?" ask Luan Xui.

"Luan Xui! You know for yourself what my life will be like, I need more money to enlarge this store, so I have received 25 gold pieces from the members of the Three Swords Group, already, just tell them of your whereabouts, I've earned this much money" replied the woman who surprised everyone.

"Mrs, why did you do that to me?" asked Luan Xui who could not believe that the person she knew so well had so much heart to betray her.

"Sorry Luan, as I explained to you!" said the Woman.

"We'd better get out of here before they come! Come on Luan Xui," Fa Lio Bai asked then he grabbed Luan Xui's hand and intended to leave the store.

A sword had suddenly appeared and stuck at the entrance before Fa Lio Bai and all of them passed through the Door, and after that some people dressed all in black appeared and then confronted the door of the store while smiling at Luan Xui.

"Do you think you can run away from us?" said one of them.

Luan Xui fearfully could only take refuge behind Fa Lio Bai as well as Qian and Fa Xian, while Fa Xeiyin looked at the shopkeeper with a cold gaze as she said, "Luan Xui believes in you so much, but that trust you become a tool to enrich yourself regardless of his feelings," Xeiyin said in an angry tone.

"As long as it's profitable for me, whatever I do, even if I have to sacrifice a fly, it doesn't hurt me, does it?" replied the woman indifferently.

"Trust is the most important thing, because the mistress has betrayed that trust only for a small profit, then one day the Madam will be devastated that no one will believe the Madam, and regarding Miss Luan, we will make sure to survive these people that the mistress brought," fa Lio Bai said then he said to Fa Xeiyin, "Protect Luan Xui," he said then he stepped forward before the Three Swords group.

"You want to take him? then you must defeat us first!" fa Lio Bai said then the three men came forward attacking the Three Swords members and brought them all to fight outside.
