169. Whom Did You Buy The Gift For?

Han Tingxuan and the others browsed around for a while, but only Zhou Yueqing picked a gift. Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu had yet to pick one!

Han Tingxuan thought of his plan. If Zhou Yueqing could be a part of his plan, it would be more real, but Zhou Yueqing would be in danger.

Giving it some thought, Han Tingxuan decided not to get Zhou Yueqing involved.

“Yueqing, Uncle and I plan to go to Treasure Pavilion. Since you have already picked a gift, you can go back now.”

Zhou Yueqing immediately asked, “Do you need my help?”

Han Tingxuan waved his hand. “No need, you can go back. Mr. Xi might need your help.”

“Alright, I’ll go back now,” Since Han Tingxuan didn’t need his help, Zhou Yueqing did not insist.

After Zhou Yueqing left, Tian Yusu raised an eyebrow. “It’s not a secret that Mr. Xi is kicked out of his family. So you took him in?”

Han Tingxuan sneered. “Don’t say that you don’t know.”

Tian Yusu asked. “Why should I know?”

Han Tingxuan refused to continue the topic.

Tian Yusu continued instead, “I’m very surprised. Why did you save him? Just because that person is Zhou Yueqing’s friend?”

“Yes,” said Han Tingxuan absent-mindedly.

Tian Yusu raised an eyebrow. “Han Tingxuan, aren’t you really interested in Zhou Yueqing, are you?”

“Uncle, you’re overthinking,” Han Tingxuan rolled his eyes.

As Tian Yusu was about to say something, they had already arrived the gate of the Treasure Pavilion. Tian Yusu decided not say anything more.

“Big Brother, is this a nice store?” Han asked.

Han Tingxuan smiled and said, “Treasure Pavilion is the most famous in City of Capital. Just like its name, there are many treasures inside. Many important officials and nobles will come here to pick gifts.”

“Is that so? So the things inside are expensive too?” Han asked.

“Yes, of course. Do you want to buy anything?” Han Tingxuan would give Han money. Even though Han did not have much money, he had more than one thousand taels of silver.

“There is nothing I want to buy for myself,” Han looked at Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu who were looking at him curiously. “I want to buy a gift.”

“A gift?” Han Tingxuan smiled and glanced at Tian Yusu from the corner of his eyes.

Tian Yusu narrowed his eyes but if you looked closer, you would find a pleasant sparkle in his eyes.

Would Han want to buy a gift for him?

Han Tingxuan thought so. He said with a smile, “Great. Let’s go and take a look. Just choose whatever you like. Don’t worry about the price. You got me.”

Han grinned, “Okay.”

The three people walked inside.

About five minutes later, two people entered the Treasure Pavilion. If Han Tingxuan was here, he would find that one of them was Yang Shuo!

Han Tingxuan and the other two went straight to the second floor.

When they reached the second floor, they discovered that there were so many people!

A lot of people came to the Treasure Pavilion to choose gifts for Xuantian The Elderly!

“Why are there so many people?” Han was confused. “Is the Treasure Pavilion always so popular?”

“Tomorrow there will be a birthday party. That birthday man is very famous. Most of the people here are picking gifts for that person,” Han Tingxuan explained.

This was because Han only asked Han Tingxuan the question.

“So I see…” Han nodded.

“Nonsense! I picked it first!”

“You’re talking nonsense! I picked it first!”

“Nonsense! I picked it before you! You should ask the staff.”

“Ask him? Alright, then ask him!”

The shop assistant, “…” It had happened so many times today.

Han Tingxuan was amused by the fight.

Han was confused. “What’s wrong, big brother?”

“There are too many people. They all fancy the same thing. But they haven’t actually had a big fight.”

Tian Yusu also smiled at this time. “How did you know that they did not have a big fight?”

Han Tingxuan was surprised. “Would they?”

“Normally, once there are intense contradictions, there might be a big fight,” Tian Yusu said when they heard a sound coming from a corner. It turned out that someone was knocked down onto the ground by another person!

Han Tingxuan was speechless.

Han also looked over and said, “Their martial arts are too weak to enjoy watching.”

Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu were speechless. “Han, you know they are not fighting for the position of the leader of martial art alliance, right? Of course, it is not interesting to watch it.”

“The leader of martial art alliance? Is that a thing?” Han’s eyes sparkled.

“Uh…” Han Tingxuan did not know how to explain.

Tian Yusu laughed. “Yes, of course it is.”

“Really?” Han was curious.

“Well, but the government has a say to who is the leader of the martial art alliance.”

Han Tingxuan also smiled. “It would be a big trouble for the government if the martial art world grows too big. It is why they choose a leader who, to someone martial art practitioner, is a puppet of the government.”

Han was shocked. “Is it true?”

“Of course, it is. A small number of extremists think so, but most people are still afraid of the leader of the martial art alliance, because he has both prestige in the martial art world and the support of the government.”

“I see,” Han nodded. “Then, brother, who is he? Can I see him? I want to compete with him.”

“Eh? Compete martial art with him.” Han Tingxuan was surprised.

“Yes.” Han nodded. “Compete with him to if who is better at martial arts, him or me.”

Hearing this, Han Tingxuan looked at Tian Yusu. “I’ve never seen that person before. You have to ask Uncle.”

Hence, Han looked at Tian Yusu.

Tian Yusu faked a cough. Then he said as Han looked at him with expectations, “If there is such an opportunity, I will arrange it for you!”

“Alright,” Han chuckled happily.

Anyone with enough money could get access to the second floor. That was why it was so crowded and messed up. Han Tingxuan didn’t want to stay any longer. Hence, he went to the third floor with Tian Yusu and Han.

Only those with both wealth and high social status could have access to the third floor.

In fact, the customers on the third floor were much of gentlemen compared to those on the second floor. At the very least, even if anyone had conflicts, they wouldn’t fight each other, expect they attacked each other verbally.

When Han Tingxuan and the others were out of sight, a person looked over.

Yang Shuo noticed the person beside him. He immediately asked, “Dear Xue, what are you looking at?”

Yue Youbai blinked and said slowly, “It is so messed up on the second floor.”

Yang Shuo sighed exaggeratedly. “Yeah, but we don’t have other choices. There are too many people who have received guidance from Xuantian The Elderly. This time, as the old man said that he wanted to see young people, those who have acquaintance with the old man would go with their juniors. I suppose some of them would fake their connection with the old man. You can imagine how many people would go at last.”

Looking at Yang Shuo’s helpless expression, Yue Youbai smiled. “Isn’t there a third floor? Perhaps it would be better there?”

“That’s true!” Yang Shuo patted his head. “Alright, let’s go to the third floor.”

Yang Shuo was stopped at the stairway to the third floor. But when Yang Shuo took out a jade pendant, the staff let him through.

Yue Youbai looked at the jade pendant curiously. Yang Shuo handed it over to him. “Have a good look.”

Yue Youbai took the jade pendant over and looked at it. “Is this a symbol of identity?”

“Yes. The Treasure Pavilion sent it away when it was opened. There are very few jade pendants left now.” Yang Shuo said proudly.

Yue Youbai returned it to Yang Shuo. Yang Shuo didn’t take it over and said, “You keep it.”

Yue Youbai was surprised. “You have extra?”

Yang Shuo answered, “No, I only have one.”

Yue Youbai felt so complicated. “Then why are you giving it to me?”

“Because you’re the person I like!” Yan Shuo said proudly, “Isn’t it a common that a male wife keeps his husband’s property? If I come here in the future, I will ask you to give it to me.”

The truth was that Yang Shuo had three such jade pendants. In order to gain a good impression of his enemy, he lied.

Yue Youbai was calm and smart. However, he was a she-man who had never been in a relationship. Therefore, what Yang Shuo said had a great impact on his feelings.

He put the jade pendant in his pocket, Yue Youbai had a mixed feelings towards Yang Shuo.

At this moment, they were already on the third floor.

Yue Youbai quickly put away his complicated emotions because he had already seen two people.

One was Han Tingxuan, and the other was actually Tian Yusu!

At this moment, Han Tingxuan was picking a present with Han.

Han fancied a jade pendant, made of emerald, a naturally-formed fish-shaped jade in the middle. In addition, he liked the color. It would be a good gift. Then he asked for the price.

But it was not suitable for a man. It was too delicate for a man’s gift.

Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu felt strange.

Han Tingxuan had a look at Tian Yusu in confusion. He said softly, “What a surprise that this is your type.”

The corner of Tian Yusu’s mouth twitched slightly. Who said that this was his type?

It was not his type, alright?

Han Tingxuan did not say loudly, but Han heard him. He turned around and asked, “Tian Yusu, do you like it too?”

Too? Tian Yusu felt that something was wrong.

Han Tingxuan also felt that something went wrong.

Thus, Han Tingxuan asked, “Han, aren’t you picking a gift for uncle?”

Han was rather baffling. “Why should I get a gift for him?”

Tian Yusu: “…” He could hear that his heart was broken!

Han Tingxuan faked a cough and truly felt sorry for Tian Yusu. “Whom are you going to send it to?”

As Han was about to answer, Yang Shuo said in a surprise behind them. “Ah hah, brother Han!”

Han Tingxuan turned around and saw Yang Shuo. “Hmm? Brother Yang? What are you doing here?”

“Haha,” Yang Shuo laughed. “To pick a gift!”

“Oh, I see.” Han Tingxuan understood but was surprised. “Are you going to the birthday party too?”

“Yes,” Yang Shuo nodded and was about to say something when he saw Tian Yusu. He asked Han Tingxuan in confusion. “Brother Han, this is…”

“Oh, he’s my seventh uncle. You can also call him uncle.”

Tian Yusu, “…”

“Good!” Yang Shuo said, although he was sweating in mind. This man was Prince Xian. But he looked relaxed on the surface, “Uncle!”

Tian Yusu was still thinking about whom Han would give the gift to. He nodded as a response to Yang Shuo.

Han Tingxuan noticed Yue Youbai and asked, “Brother Yang, this is…”

Yang Shuo immediately smiled like a fool. “This is Xue, the person I pursue.”

What a shock!

Yue Youbai didn’t expect Yan Shuo to be so direct. He was speechless for a moment and felt more complicated.

Tian Yusu looked over in surprise.

Han Tingxuan was surprised but then he said with a smile. “Really? Congratulations!”

Yang Shuo smiled like a fool. “Even though Xue has yet to agree, I believe that sooner or later he will.” Then he introduced Yue Youbai to Han Tingxuan.

“Dear Xue, this is Brother Han. We are like real brothers. You can call him Brother Han. This is Uncle.”

Tian Yusu, “…”

Yue Youbai softly smiled. “Brother Han, Uncle.”

“This is Brother Han’s younger brother, Han.”

Yue Youbai smiled.

Han also nodded.

They officially greeted to each other.

Then, Yang Shuo immediately asked, “Brother Han, are you here to buy a birthday gift?”

“Yes,” Han Tingxuan nodded. “What a coincidence to run into you here.”

“Haha, then we can go together tomorrow night!”

“Mmm, that’s good. We can look after each other.”

“Haha, that’s great! Brother Han, I’ll bring Xue with me. I bet there will be a lot of people tomorrow. Could you look after him for me?”

“No problem!”
