Angry Ji Wenbin

"Brother Ji, are you angry with me?"

Baili Hongzhuang wore a pleasing smile as she approached Ji Wenbin.

Since she arrived here, Ji Wenbin was the first person to become friendly with her.

She didn't want their relationship to be strained because of this incident. The kindness in times of need was always the most profound.

"How could I be angry with you?" Ji Wenbin's voice carried a hint of coldness and dissatisfaction.

"Brother Ji!" Baili Hongzhuang called out, "You also know the situation I've been in all this time. At that time, I was confined by the general. Revealing my true identity would have been extremely disadvantageous, so I had to hide my identity."

"Other than that, I haven't deceived you about anything."

Ji Wenbin remained silent. After hearing this news today, he was shocked. He couldn't believe that his proud friend had actually deceived him.

"Since Brother Ji doesn't want to see me, then I'll leave first."

A tinge of desolation appeared on Baili Hongzhuang's face as she took a step forward, silently counting in her heart.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Wait!" Ji Wenbin's voice rang out, followed by a helpless sigh. "Sigh, I also know that you were forced into such a situation."

When he first found out that Baili Hongzhuang had deceived him, he was indeed very angry. But after thinking about it, he realized that Baili Hongzhuang must have had her reasons.

Just now, when he heard Baili Hongzhuang's explanation, all his grievances dissipated, replaced only by pity for her.

"Hehe." Baili Hongzhuang smiled happily. "I knew Brother Ji would be understanding and righteous. You will surely understand me!"

Ji Wenbin couldn't be as happy as Baili Hongzhuang. "I heard that you and Prince Beichen will be married in a month. Is that true?"

"It's true."

"Why is the Emperor rushing with the marriage decree?"

"The Emperor doesn't like me being unhappy!"

Baili Hongzhuang smiled mischievously. In the Emperor's eyes, she was indeed a displeasing existence, so it was only natural for him to want her to marry Emperor Beichen as soon as possible.

"Then, do you really want to marry Emperor Beichen?"

Others might not know, but Ji Wenbin knew that Baili Hongzhuang was very familiar with Emperor Beichen. He had seen them together several times in the Divine Physician's Court. Could it be that Emperor Beichen had requested this marriage?

"I think Emperor Beichen is not bad at all," Baili Hongzhuang said lightly. "Compared to Xuanyuan Huan, he is much more reliable."

"Have you truly made up your mind?"

Even though Ji Wenbin felt that his question was somewhat redundant, considering it was an imperial decree, and who could defy it, he couldn't help but ask because he wanted Baili Hongzhuang to have no regrets.

"I've made up my mind." Baili Hongzhuang's voice was clear and resolute.

After purchasing a pile of medicinal materials from Wan Yao Pharmacy, Baili Hongzhuang no longer needed to calculate every purchase like before. Since she opened the Divine Physician's Court, she had been earning a lot of money.

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang buying so many medicinal materials at once, Ji Wenbin asked in confusion, "Hongzhuang, what are you going to do with so many medicinal materials?"

Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It's a secret. I have some things to do."

Ji Wenbin chuckled helplessly. Baili Hongzhuang was clearly pretending to be mysterious, trying to arouse his curiosity, but he didn't ask.

After putting all the medicinal materials into her spatial ring, Baili Hongzhuang headed to Tianbao Pavilion.

Tianbao Pavilion was the largest store in the imperial city that specialized in selling items needed by cultivators. Its scale far surpassed that of other shops.

It was a place only the wealthy and noble families could visit.
