After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 138 The Mask of Ignorance

After the meeting, the three girls went out shopping together with smiles on their faces.

Zuo Chen already had his own mask, and he still had a lot to prepare. Cen Chong's identity was special, so it was inconvenient for him to act with them. In the end, Shen Xu had no choice but to follow Yuan Wuwei to the street.

"Shen Xu, do you know where I can buy masks?" Yuan Wuwei looked at the vast Tianjian City and couldn't help but feel troubled.

Shen Xu shook his head and then stared at Yuan Wuwei.

“Uh… let’s ask someone!” Yuan Wuwei suggested.

Finally, through constant asking around, the two managed to find quite a few places selling masks. However, the masks were either too ugly in design or too crudely made. Even someone as easygoing as Shen Xu wouldn't be interested, let alone someone as picky as Yuan Wuwei.

So the two of them hadn't found a suitable mask by the time it was almost sunset. Then Shen Xu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a lot of nicely designed masks hanging in the pavilion, but he had already sworn never to go near that place again.

But he can't go, but Yuan Wuwei can!

Moreover, since it's something that was publicly listed by the Minako, there shouldn't be any major obstacles.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu said, "Wuwei, I suddenly remembered that there is another place with very nice masks, but the price may be a bit expensive."

"Money is nothing! Character is the most important thing! How can an ordinary mask bring out my overflowing melancholy?" Yuan Wuwei said, shaking his head slightly.

"lead the way!"

Shen Xu couldn't help but smile and then led Yuan Wuwei to the vicinity of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

"Heavenly Sword Tower! Why did you bring me here?" Yuan Wuwei asked curiously.

"Um... I have some property and physical disputes with the shop owner, so I can't go with you. And you must remember, you absolutely cannot say that I brought you here. If she asks, just say that you accidentally wandered in," Shen Xu instructed solemnly.

"Oh! I understand!" Yuan Wuwei gave Shen Xu a knowing look.

"What do you know?!" Shen Xu mentally complained.

"Turn right from here and go straight to the end of the road. You'll see a red wave sign; that's the shop. Just grab the cheapest one; their masks are pretty good," Shen Xu told Yuan Wuwei.

"Don't worry, I've got it all covered. I want to see what those... those masks are like!" Yuan Wuwei laughed and ran away from Shen Xu.

Just after Yuan Wuwei left, Shen Xu suddenly had an ominous premonition, but he didn't know where it came from. Could it be that even though he was so far away, the witch could still find him?

“Turn, then go straight, the red wave sign! This should be it,” Yuan Wuwei murmured, looking at the sign in front of him.

"How could anyone open a shop here? It's near the Heavenly Sword Tower, but it feels so remote. How can they even sell anything here? I wonder how Shen Xu found out about it?"

"Forget it! Let's go in and take a look!"

Yuan Wuwei pushed open the door and entered. The warm yellow color of the room immediately caught his eye, and what caught his eye even more were the various exquisite masks hanging on the wall.

"Shen Xu really didn't lie to me; there really are beautiful masks here," Yuan Wuwei thought to himself.

"But where is the shopkeeper?"

"Is anyone there?" Yuan Wuwei shouted, and then saw a girl in a yellow dress coming down the stairs.

"Is she the shopkeeper who had a physical altercation with Shen Xu? She's not even as pretty as Qing Yun. Looks like Shen Xu's taste isn't that great!"

"What has caught your eye, sir?" Shang Xueyi asked with a smile.

How much are the masks you sell here?

“Each mask has its own unique story, and naturally, each one has a different price,” Shang Xueyi replied politely.

Which one is the cheapest?

“This one, one hundred Nourishing Essence Pills.” Shang Xueyi pointed to a gray demon mask hanging at the bottom.

"Why don't you just rob someone!" Yuan Wuwei now understood what Shen Xu meant by the property dispute, and also what he meant by the price being a bit high.

Shang Xueyi chuckled and said, "However, if you can tell me who introduced you here, I can give you a 90% discount."

"One discount!"

Yuan Wuwei now understood what Shen Xu meant by the physical dispute; she was probably asking for an exorbitant price because of Shen Xu.

Although Yuan Wuwei was very tempted, he had already promised Shen Xu that he would never leak his information.

"No one introduced me to this place; I just stumbled upon it by accident," Yuan Wuwei said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed.

"If you can help me pass on a message to your friend, you can choose any mask from here and it will be given to you for free!" Shang Xueyi's alluring voice reached Yuan Wuwei's ears.

"Really?" Yuan Wuwei exclaimed in surprise, then quickly realized what he had said and covered his mouth.

"Shen Xu, I'm so sorry! Yuan Wuwei, how could you be so stupid!" Yuan Wuwei was on the verge of tears.

A look of joy immediately appeared in Shang Xueyi's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her lips.

"Please tell your friend that it was wrong of me to lie to him. I didn't expect that place to be so dangerous. I didn't mean to harm him."

I've been saving what he wanted for him, and if he still wants to see me, I'm willing to give it to him personally.

"Please, sir, you must do me this favor. I really want to apologize to him!" Shang Xueyi said with utmost sincerity.

Looking into Shang Xueyi's sincere eyes, Yuan Wuwei immediately sensed that there must be some misunderstanding between Shen Xu and Shang Xueyi, and he, Yuan Wuwei, loved to play peacemaker.

"Is that all?" Yuan Wuwei asked.

"Yes, that's all. And I really hope to see him again." A hint of sadness appeared in Shang Xueyi's eyes.

"Don't worry, leave this to me. I will definitely convey your message."

"Thank you very much, sir. You can now choose the mask you like," Shang Xueyi said with a smile.

“Then I won’t be polite, I want that one!” Yuan Wuwei pointed to a mask with black and white colors intertwined.

"You have excellent taste! It's yours now."

Shang Xueyi reached out her hand, and the mask immediately flew from the wall into her hand. She then walked to the counter, put it in a paper bag, and handed it to Yuan Wuwei.

After taking the paper bag, Yuan Wuwei said, "I still want that demon mask, but is it really priced at one hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills?"

"Our small shop operates with honesty and integrity, treating everyone fairly, young and old!"

"To be honest, my friend said he wanted the cheapest mask in your store. If we didn't both need a mask, he probably wouldn't have brought me here."

After saying this, Yuan Wuwei was stunned. He couldn't believe what he had just said.

"Ah... Shen Xu, I am guilty!" Yuan Wuwei covered his head, he dared not think about how stupid he was.

"You mean he's in this area too!" Shang Xueyi said with great surprise.

"I didn't say that! Don't misunderstand!"

"Thank you so much for your help, sir. This mask is for you too." After saying that, Shang Xueyi hurriedly opened the door and left, leaving Yuan Wuwei standing there in a daze.

"Shen Xu, you must forgive me. It's not that I'm too stupid, it's that the enemy is too cunning." After thinking for a moment, he still left one hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills on the counter, and then quietly left the restaurant wearing two masks.

Shang Xueyi searched around the Heavenly Sword Tower again and again after going out, but she still couldn't find the figure she wanted to see. She had no choice but to return to the Pavilion of Dishes with endless disappointment.
