Inner courtyard of Luo Hua Pavilion.

"Young Master, you finally came to the Imperial Capital! No matter how many times I urged you before, you still wouldn't agree to come. But now that your engagement is cancelled, you came running! Looks like it's still Young Master Zhuang, Zhuang Hao, that is more attractive ah!" Bi Liuyun complained a bit teasingly.

"All business in the capital have already been left for you to deal with, there's nothing I have to worry about. Me coming this time was mainly to look at Zhuang Renquan's illness," said Qi Shaorong.

Bi Liuyun slyly smiled, then said, "Young Master, you are so magnanimous. Zhuang Hao already broke off your engagement, yet you still rushed over from thousands of miles to save his Third Uncle."

"Zhuang family’s remuneration is quite good, not to mention, the opportunity to let Zhuang family be indebted to you isn't a chance you get often," said Qi Shaorong.

"Allure Cosmetics' business is a bit eye-catching," reported Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong glanced at Bi Liuyun, and said, "En, we did earn quite a bit in these recent years. A lot of people are investigating our cosmetics stores."

"Aside from those guys, also be careful of fake goods. In case there was some fellow who bought fakes and thought they bought fake shoddy products from us instead and came finding trouble with us to kill us off, then that's really accusing us wrongly." With his last life's experience of dying by having sulfuric acid poured on him suddenly showing vividly in his mind, Qi Shaorong couldn't help but had some lingering fears.

"Young Master, with you coming back this time, will you return to the Qi family?" asked Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong squinted his eyes, and said, "Let's save that talk for later, the one who came to the capital is the Ghost Doctor, not Qi Shaorong. If it wasn't for Zhuang Hao cancelling the engagement, I'm afraid Qi family long ago thought, Qi Shaorong, this person was dead."

"Young Master, don't lose heart. Qi family have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai, and naturally can't tell good from bad. Young Master, how long will you stay in the Capital this time?" asked Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun, and said, "The business in the Capital is quite good, there are many rich people here, I think I still want to stay for a while."

"Young Master, since you have the ability to treat Zhuang Renquan, you shouldn't put so much time on plastic surgery," urged Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong fiddled with his fingers, and said, "The risk in plastic surgery is smaller ah! For  Zhuang Renquan's kind of situation, I could only guarantee thirty percent success. The fact that Zhuang Renquan was able to recover so fast also had some luck involved in it." If Zhuang Renquan really did die, even if he had the agreement that Zhuang family signed, he was afraid it would still be a bit troublesome.

"True," Bi Liuyun nodded in agreement.

"That's right, what happened to Yi Fan? I heard that two years ago he married one of the Imperial Capital's Three Great Beauties, Mu Xuelan."

"Mu Xuelan probably wasn't able to stand that Yi Fan could bring her any profits at all, they will divorce soon," replied Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong nodded, "Oh, that's good."

Bi Liuyun, "……"

Yi family had a pair of twins, Yi Huo and Yi Bing. One was a Fire System Mage, and one was an Ice System Mage. Respectively, they were ranked fifth and sixth in the Seven Imperial Talents. Yi Fan was these two's younger brother. Yi Fan's position in the Yi family was somewhat similar to Qi Shaorong's position in the Qi family: One was Qi family's shame, one was Yi family's shame.

However, Yi Fan's situation was still a bit better than Qi Shaorong. Although Yi Fan didn't have any magical talent, he did have martial talent. It was just, Yi Fan's martial talent was very poor, and was only a little bit better than a magical waste.

Mu Xuelan was originally a pair with the number two of the Imperial Seven Talents, Prince Tang Tianfeng. However Mu Xuelan's background was a bit lacking, and Tang Tianfeng, in order to win one of the four major families, Chen family's support, he turned around to marry Chen family's Chen Manwu. Chen Manwu, likewise, was also one of the Imperial Capital's Three Great Beauties. In her anger, Mu Xuelan married Yi family's Yi Fan.

"When Mu Xuelan married Yi Fan, everyone acted as if Yi Fan got a great deal for cheap, when in fact, he ate a big loss by marrying that woman that he can only look at but can't use, in addition of provoking the Second Prince’s displeasure," Bi Liuyun shook his head as he sighed.

Qi Shaorong raised his brow in question, "Can look but can't use, you're kidding me right? They're already married for three years, Yi Fan didn't succeed even once?"

"Although Mu Xuelan married Yi Fan, she doesn't let Yi Fan near her. Actually, Yi Fan is also not willing to be near her. To have that kind of woman near Yi Fan's side, it's very inconvenient for him to take action," Bi Liuyun said a bit helplessly.

"Poor him," Qi Shaorong also helplessly sighed.

Whether it's Bi Liuyun or Yi Fan, they were both Qi Shaorong's people. The two secretly handled the business in the Imperial Capital for Qi Shaorong.

"It seems Zhuang Hao suspects there's some kind of relationship between you and Allure Cosmetics' owner," reminded Qi Shaorong.

"This, I know. I've been in the Capital for many years already. Try as I might, a cloven foot was still exposed. But they should only know that I help promote various cosmetics, and only suspect that Allure Cosmetics and I have a cooperative relationship," said Bi Liuyun.

Qi Shaorong nodded, and only said, "Either way, be careful."

"Young Master, you also take care."

Cloven foot was still exposed – Gave away a clue

Martial – [斗气 – Dòuqì] Generally refers to Qigong , an exercise method through adjustment of breathing, adjustment of physical activity, and adjustment of consciousness to achieve physical fitness, physical and mental health, etc. Douqi is a type of Qigong that can be induced only by mood swings that go beyond its limits or a manifestation of emotion to critical point. It gather together in an aura that wraps around the body to enhance the strength and speed.

Think of something like when Goku goes super saiyan.  Fighting spirit could also work, but I went with martial since I thought it fitted in better.

Yi Huo [易火] – Not the most creative names,  but [火 – Huo] means fire…..

Yi Bing [易冰]  – [冰 – Bing] likewise means ice…
