This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

There were many people ahead of them, and Lian Xue and her companion were standing behind a man.

The man was dressed neatly and elegantly, with a sword at his waist. His hair was styled into a high ponytail, held in place by a jade hairpin, with fluffy curls underneath, giving him a very fashionable look.

The crowd moved forward little by little, and a long queue formed behind them.

"Are you blind or something, stepping on my feet?" an old man reprimanded the person who stepped on him in a calm tone.

"You old fool, I think you're just getting blind. I don't even mind the discomfort on my feet, what are you babbling about?" a woman said arrogantly, her chin held high and her eyes looking down on everyone.

“Young lady, you shouldn’t talk to your elders like that,” a middle-aged woman said, pulling the young woman aside.

The woman shook off the hand that was pulling her, waving it away as if it were dirty. "And who do you think you are? He's about to be buried, while my elders are perfectly healthy. Who does he think he is? Humph!"

Lianxue turned around when she heard the sound and saw that the woman had a head full of hair ornaments, a sword and a dagger at her waist, and a luminous pearl in her hand.

She looked down haughtily at the crowd gossiping about her.

Qing Shu didn't pay attention to the little incident. She was still looking at the various stalls. When she saw nice clothes, jewelry, or things she liked, her eyes would light up.

When Qingshu saw something pretty, she would grab Lianxue and show it to her, saying, "Sister Xue, look at that stone, isn't it pretty?"

Lianxue looked over and a purple stone came into view. The stone was shaped like a flower. "Hmm, it's really beautiful."

"It's a pity it's too expensive." After being happy, Qing Shu felt it was impractical and decided to give up.

"Hehe~ Sister, you'd better stop watching. If you keep watching, you won't be able to focus." Lianxue found it amusing again.

"How could that be? I just appreciate it, purely." Qing Shu said, trying to comfort herself.

“Yes, I admire it!” Lianxue agreed.

Qing Shu was in front, and Lian Xue was behind Qing Shu. The two whispered to each other in a low voice so as not to disturb others.

"Hey~ Why are you cutting in line?" Qing Shu turned around and saw that there was someone in front of her.

"Which eye of yours saw me cut in line?" the woman said haughtily.

"What's wrong with you? You think you're right to cut in line?" Qing Shu was furious.

Lianxue looked over and discovered that the person who cut in line was none other than that woman who looked like a peacock.

"Oh, go ahead and ask who can prove I cut in line, ha." The woman was convinced that no one would step forward, so she was very smug.

She had already run ahead of Qing Shu.

The man in front of Qing Shu turned around upon hearing the voice. "Where did this brat come from? She's even learned to cut in line. I can vouch for this girl behind me. You have a problem with that?"

"You, you're all in cahoots, of course you're speaking up for her!" the woman said angrily, pointing at the man.

"Whose unruly woman is this? Go home right now and stop causing trouble here," the man said again.

"Do you even know who I am? How dare you bully me like this?" The woman became even more arrogant at this point.

"We don't care who you are, as long as you're in Fengyu Town, you have to follow the rules here," Qing Shu said loudly, hands on her hips, pointing at the woman.

"I am Yuan Yufeng, are you scared now? Hahaha." Yuan Yufeng put her hands on her hips, pointed at herself, and said proudly.

"Wow! What an important person!" Qing Shu said sarcastically.

Lianxue was also puzzled. Was this person very famous? Why did she think that just because someone mentioned her name, others would have to give way to her?

At that moment, whispered conversations could be heard from the surrounding area.

(Oh, so they're from one of the five great families. No wonder they're so arrogant. That makes no difference.)

(Oh, do you know that Yuan Yufeng is the apple of the eye of the Yuan family, one of the five great families? Their ancestors were all male, and now the Yuan family has three sons but only this one daughter, so she is spoiled in everything and has become so unreasonable.)

(I see, then it must be very difficult to deal with.)

(Yuan Yufeng is very difficult to deal with, so it's best not to offend her.)

(I heard that the third young lady of the most prestigious family once dealt with her, but the result... sigh.)

(As a result, her elders and even her ancestor went to the No. 1 family and made a huge scene, but in the end, it all ended with an apology. How tragic.)

From everyone's words, Lianxue learned that this woman's name was Yuan Yufeng, the family's pampered little princess. No wonder she had a bad temper and was arrogant and haughty.

"You..." Qing Shu was about to say something when she felt someone pulling her.

"Let her cut in line if she wants. She won't leave even if I tell her, and it'll only upset me," Lianxue advised Qinglian to stop arguing with her.

"See, at least some people know what's good for them," Yuan Yufeng said, looking at Qing Shu with disdain.

"You...you..." Qing Shu was furious but didn't know how to speak.

"What do you mean, 'you'? You stuttered, humph," Yuan Yufeng scoffed.

"Say less. We've already allowed you to cut in line, what more do you want?" Lianxue stopped Qingshu from arguing with her, adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, but she couldn't just stand by and watch her bully her sister Qingshu.

"You little brat, do you think I need to teach you? Go home and find your mother, don't come here and embarrass yourself." Yuan Yufeng was furious. She had actually been lectured by a child, it was really...

"Now that you've been given the chance to cut in line, don't cause trouble," a young man said as he walked by.

Lianxue felt sad. Everyone told her to go find her mother, but where was her mother? The anger and sadness she felt earlier dissipated with those words.

"Who do you think you are..." Yuan Yufeng was about to start cursing.

"Manager Li, what brings you here? Is there anything we can do for you from headquarters?" The manager of Duobao Pavilion happened to come out and saw the man, so he hurried over to greet him.

"I've come to Fengyu Town on some personal business, and I also want to check if the goods in your store are sufficient, and take a look at the accounts. How has Manager Wang been lately?" The man did not explain his purpose.

Actually, he came to see his young master, but this matter must not be made public.

Seeing that the other party was Manager Li, Yuan Yufeng had no choice but to remain silent. Duobaoge was a powerful organization that no one wanted to offend. She could be willful, but she also knew what was important.

"Alright, alright~ Thank you for your concern, Manager. Please come in." After saying this to Manager Li, the shopkeeper walked into the multi-treasure pavilion.

"Um, thank you so much..." Lian Xue had already entered the house before she could finish speaking.

She wanted to thank the other party, then identify herself and convey the message, but it seemed that wouldn't be so easy.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were trying to get close to me, little brat." Yuan Yufeng looked at Lianxue with disdain.

Lian Xue ignored Yuan Yufeng's provocation; she was thinking about how to explain the matter of the young master of Duobao Pavilion.

"Sigh, what a brat, so little guts, so boring." Yuan Yufeng said disdainfully.

However, before she could remain dismissive for long, the group sped up, and it was almost her turn. Her focus shifted.

"Lianxue, look how handsome and cool that manager was just now!" Qingshu stared at the door of Duobaoge like a lovesick girl.

Lianxue sighed, no wonder she hadn't said a word when Yuan Yufeng provoked her earlier; she was captivated by good looks, no, by male beauty.

"Yeah, he's pretty handsome, and he has a lot of presence," Lianxue agreed helplessly.

Qingshu: "Right, right, I just think so."

"She's really pretty and a nice person," Qing Shu muttered to herself as she looked at the doorway.

She would follow a few steps ahead of anyone who was moving forward, much like a woman waiting for her husband to return from afar.
