Every major city, small city or town have a branch of these three places. Shi mingxi went to Dao Scriptures Pavillion to buy basic cultivation manual.
When she enter the shop, she was surprise by the beautiful decoration of the place. It's four flour building with each floor dealing with different things.
She cautiously walk around not wanting to bump into someone and offend anyone important here.
She walk around the area knowing she will hardly had another chance to came here for shopping or looking around.
After she was done looking around the floor, she directly walk toward the receptionist desk and spoke.
Shi mingxi "I want to buy basic cultivation manual" the women seating at the reception raise her head and nodded her head.
"Wait a minute, I will get the manual" the recipient didn't said anything. She had seen many people dressing in patched clothes here with there life long saving to buy the basic cultivation manual.
Shi mingxi stood there with nervous and excitement in her eyes. Soon, the women return with the jade slip.
She wrap the jade slip in silk cloth, put it inside the box and hand it to shi mingxi. She was so nervous that she almost drop the box in her hand.
The recipient only offer her gentle smile. Shi mingxi fumble as she take out the money from her pouch and put it on the desk.
The recipient count the white jade mark and smile when the amount was right. Shi mingxi turn around and was about to leave the place.
"Wait, you girl from shi clan" shi mingxi face paled she nervously turn around towards the source of the voice.
When she saw the person who called her was the very person she was supposed to meet at tea house.
Shi mingxi lips twitch. She calmly look at her without any fear. Her previous nervous expression change.
Shi mingxi "oh its you. What happened." She look at her with steady gaze at the young girl about fifteen or sixteen year old.
The women who had just rush over was fuming in anger. She point her finger at her and curse at her.
"How dare you. How can you leave me waiting at the tea house for hour's" the young girl always had been the one waited on. So, when she had to wait for someone.
Specially, when that someone actually ditch her made her more angry. She glare at shi mingxi and scolded her.
"You don't want to sell the bracelet at least infront me. I waited for you full three hour." She dramatically raised her three fingers.
Shi mingxi with guilty conscience cough awkwardly as she spoke
Shi mingxi "I actually had deal with someone else but you offer me more money. So, I was about to sell it you. But that person return and offer me more then your offer so I sell it to her"
Since, she's the one was back out of the agreement it only reasonable for her to offer an explanation.
Shi mingxi "I deeply apologies. I failed to inform you about the random cancellation" she felt embarrass infront of the girl.
The girl raise her chin unhappily and ask "who did you sell the bracelet too. I will negotiate the price with her"
She seem to hell bend on getting the bracelet. Shi mingxi frown. She don't want to drag shi Yixue in this when she's the one who back out from the deal.
Shi mingxi"that person is also from the shi clan and she seem to like the bracelet very much. I'm afraid." She won't sell it to you.
But she didn't said the last part out loud. The young girl frown and speak "you don't need to worry about it"
Shi mingxi had no other choice but to take her to the shi clan. The girl surname is Ruo, her grandmother is said to be princess from the imperial family.
Although this girl is prideful. She's not arrogant or stupid. She didn't made things difficult for shi mingxi even when she's the one who back out.
Soon, they walk around the slum area. The young rich miss never had walk on the slums, luckily shi clan streets are clean.
So, there's nothing for her to whine about. The girl pout unhappily and silently follow shi mingxi to the shi clan.
Shi mingxi reach the streets and walk toward fifth large building with five floors. She knock on the desk infront of the building.
The women seating on the desk didn't raised her head and continue focusing on her embroidery.
"Who are you looking for" the women asked without raising her head.
Shi mingxi "I'm looking for shi Yixue is she here" the women nodded her head.
"She came back few minutes ago. She will be inside her room, it room no. 203 on second floor"
