Upon hearing this, Lan Yao was somewhat displeased.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I’m short of this little treasure of yours? Are you looking down on me?"
"Who would dare look down on you? I’m just afraid you’ll suffer a loss."
"With others, I indeed weigh gains and losses. But with you guys... forget it. By the way, Lan Hua, that outfit I fancy should be available for me to buy, right?"
"We’re all our own people here. Whatever you like, take it and wear it. Besides clothes, make sure you have your other accessories set, because Ping City places great importance on attire. They judge a person’s identity based on how they dress. Anyone dressed poorly is very likely to be oppressed."
"No wonder everyone here dresses so well. So that’s the reason."
"Yes, influenced by the culture here, most people spend their Silver on clothes, just for being looked up to when out and about. Actually, it was a trend started by King Luo, and the common people feel quite helpless about it."
After Lan Hua finished her explanation, the group curiously looked at Luochuan.
Being stared at, Luochuan nodded helplessly.
Because Lan Hua was right, this trend was indeed started by King Luo. As his son, Luochuan had been taught this way since childhood and had long grown weary of it.
"Let’s go, let’s first change our clothes, transform ourselves a bit, so when people see us, they won’t spread the word to King Luo."
Upon Gu Sheng’s suggestion, everyone stood up and followed him.
Lan Hua brought them to the shop ahead, smiling, "You can choose any clothes you like here, today it’s all on me."
"No, we may be on the same side, but there are quite a few of us, and you rely on this shop to make a living. Let me pay for the clothes."
As soon as the words fell, Lan Yao took out a bag of Silver and placed it on the table.
"Here’s all I’ve got, don’t mind if it’s not enough."
Seeing the Silver, Lan Hua frowned slightly.
"What are you doing? I..."
Before she finished, Gu Sheng smiled and said, "No need to be polite with us. We’re not poor Jianghu folks; Silver should still be given. Just like Lan Yao said, as long as you don’t mind how much, accept it."
With Gu Sheng speaking, Lan Hua couldn’t decline their goodwill and accepted it.
After picking for a while, the group transformed entirely, now looking like young gentlemen.
Seeing them, Hong Mei couldn’t help but chuckle.
"It’s true, clothes make the man. With a change of outfit, they look completely different."
Hearing this, Lan Yao raised an eyebrow proudly.
"We were just a bit negligent in managing our appearances before, but when we dress up, we’re not inferior to anyone."
Seeing his smug expression, Hong Mei and Lan Hua couldn’t help but laugh.
"Let’s go, let’s buy some accessories. Under King Luo’s watchful eye, it’s better to go with the flow."
Everyone agreed and immediately followed Gu Sheng out.
Seeing Lan Hua also tagging along, Gu Sheng raised a hand to stop her.
"No need to send us, we can go ourselves. Once we’re done shopping, we’ll find a nearby inn to stay. We’ll be in touch anytime if needed."
When Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Hua frowned.
"You’re here, how can I let you stay in an inn? I have enough rooms here, you can stay here instead."
"No, that’d be too much trouble. We’re fine staying out."
"It’s no trouble at all. I’m here alone with many vacant rooms, there’s plenty of room for everyone."
As Lan Hua finished her sentence, just as Gu Sheng was about to speak, Lan Hua frowned and said sternly.
"Gu Sheng, you keep refusing over and over again, do you think my little temple can’t accommodate your great Buddha?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was a bit exasperated.
"I didn’t mean it that way, I..."
"Since you don’t mean it, then listen to me. Inns outside aren’t safe, you should stay with me."
With that, Lan Hua took hold of Hong Mei’s hand.
"We sisters just met and haven’t had the chance to chat properly. You’re such a bad guy, why are you in such a rush to separate us?"
After she said this, Hong Mei also took hold of her hand.
"Gu Sheng, let’s stay here."
Hong Mei had spoken, so of course Gu Sheng wouldn’t refuse. He finally nodded in agreement.
The group went out and headed straight for the shops on the street.
After making a round, each got themselves quite a few accessories.
