"This, I have a relative in Kyoto, I asked him to bring it back for me, it's expensive, but I sell rouge, it's worth it to be able to take such a clear picture."

Shen Li looked at himself in the mirror. Wow, it was so clear.

Her face is now rounder and no longer skin and bones. It looks full of collagen. Her skin is not as white as Shen Yanyan's, but it is whiter than normal people's.

The first few times she came here, she didn't pay attention. She always wanted to buy a mirror, but the bronze mirror was not clear, so she didn't buy it: "How much is it expensive?"

"Look at my mirror, it's not very big. Just this small piece on the table cost me thirty taels."

Shen Li saw her distressed look and took a photo of himself: "It's not cheap, but the things are good. Sister Cheng, can your relative bring me a piece back? Not for free, just one as big as yours will do. I'll give you thirty-five taels, and any more will be considered as hard work fee."

"You can bring it, but you don't have to pay more. How can I ask you for more money?"

"It's okay. It's not you who takes care of it, sister. You still need to ask someone else for help."

"Well, my sister is considerate."

Shen Li took out thirty-five taels of silver and gave it to Cheng Xin, then left with his two brothers.

On the way back, Shen Xing seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Shen Li couldn't stand it any longer: "Third brother, just say what you want to say."

"You spent thirty-five taels on a mirror. Even if you have some money now, it's still a waste. I wonder if your mother will scold you when you go back."

"Third brother, I'm a girl. What's wrong with buying a clear mirror to look at myself? And don't you think I look much better now?" Shen Li looked at Shen Xing and blinked twice.

Shen Xing glanced at her for a few times: "It's better than before, isn't it? Then there's no need to buy such an expensive mirror? You should give them an extra five taels."

"I'm only fourteen now. In two years, I'll grow up a bit and maybe look better."

Shen Xing was speechless: "Second brother, look at her."

Shen Liang ignored him: "Ali, is this Shopkeeper Cheng trying to find out the ingredients of the ointment in disguise?"

"Second brother also heard it?"

"Well, luckily you reacted quickly and diverted the attention in time, but Manager Cheng is too cunning, you have to be more careful next time."

"It's okay. Business people are naturally roundabout. I give her the goods and she helps me sell them. As long as there are people buying them, I don't have to bother her. I guess she's not the only one who wants to inquire about it. Our ointment is now very famous in this county. Anyone who does business will pay some attention to it. It's normal for some people to want to have a share of the pie."

"That's true, but the formula is in our hands. As long as we don't leak it, they can't do anything about it."

"Well, the reason why I gave her an extra five taels of silver was to let her know that we are cooperating and benefiting each other. Only when I am well can she be well, and I am not a stingy person."

Shen Xing listened to what the two said and said angrily, "Why do you have so many thoughts?"

Shen Li glanced at him and said, "I don't have any bad intentions. She is the one who is playing tricks on me. Don't accuse me."

Shen Liang said: "Old Third is right. Ali, you are indeed thoughtful and a good businessman. I don't have to worry about you being cheated anymore."

"Second brother, why are you here too? How was your experience the last time you went to make boxes with Master Nian?"

"It's very simple. He only demonstrated it once and I learned it. It doesn't require any technical skills."

"Is he interested in you?"

"He just said that when you have nothing to do, you can go to his place to help more often."

Shen Li clapped his hands happily: "That's great, second brother. I think you have a lot of hope. Keep it up."

"Ah."

Shen Li looked at Shen Xing again: "Third brother, is there any news about the bee farm I asked you to inquire about?"

"I asked around for places selling honey in the county and found one. It's a little far from here, in Meng County. I plan to go check it out tomorrow."

"Okay, then be careful."

"I'm not afraid of anything, don't worry."

Early the next morning, Shen Xing went to the county, hired a carriage, and headed towards Meng County. It took him three hours to arrive.

Just like the previous apiary, no one wanted this stuff, but when they heard that he wanted it, they agreed directly. Shen Xing still paid him at the price of twenty yuan per two taels of honey, and hired two horse-drawn carriages locally to load two full carriages of beehives.

When it was getting dark, they had only walked half the distance when they heard the sound of swords, which was getting closer and closer. After a while, a woman rushed to his car.

"who?"

The woman stood up reluctantly: "It's none of your business, go away."

Before Shen Xing could react, four people with torches came after him. The man in the lead said, "Ye Muyu, hand over the things."

"I said, no."

"Then you will die."

Ye Muyu tried to meet the attack with difficulty, but she had already been injured and was defeated in a short while. Seeing the opponent's sword stabbing at her, she closed her eyes in despair.

How could Shen Xing just stand by and watch them die? He threw punches in time and started fighting with the men. He had no confidence in his kung fu, after all, this was his first time fighting with anyone, but he was very excited and became more and more courageous. Before he could get enough of the fight, the men were knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.

He put away his fist in disappointment: "Why don't you go quickly."

A few people stood up reluctantly, looked at Shen Xing angrily, and ran away.

Shen Xing walked up to Ye Muyu and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay, thank you for saving me."

Scratching his head embarrassedly, Shen Xing helped Ye Muyu up: "Why are they chasing you?"

"For something that can save your life. Judging from your dress, you are not a gangster, right? Then why do you have such good martial arts?" Ye Muyu did not elaborate on what it was.

Shen Xing's eyes lit up: "Is my martial arts good?"

Ye Muyu looked at him strangely: "You don't know?"

"This is my first time fighting with someone. I usually practice on my own, so I have no idea how good my martial arts are."

"I see you didn't use all your strength when you beat them. They are considered second-rate masters in the martial arts world. You should be able to squeeze into the first-rate."

"Really? That's great." He has now practiced the "Ba Tian Fist" to the second level, but he is not yet completely familiar with it. If he can practice all three levels, wouldn't he be the best among the best, and be a top master?

Ye Muyu looked at him and thought of something. She laughed for a long time. This guy was really... She took out a token from the small cloth bag on her back and said, "Here is for you. It is the token of our sect. If you enter the martial arts world in the future and have nowhere to go, you can come to our sect."

Shen Xing took it and looked at the words "Huan Hai" engraved on it: "Are you from the Huan Hai sect?"

"you know?"

"do not know."

Ye Muyu looked at him unhappily: "Then we'll meet again later."
