Chapter 401 Fireworks in the World
There are four markets in the southeast, northwest and northeast of Goyang City. The southeast is the market for mortals, while the northwest is the market for cultivators. The two deliberately lived next to the east market. Every time they went to the two markets in the northwest, they changed their appearance and body shape. Sometimes they were a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes they were husband and wife, sometimes they were sisters, sometimes they were father and daughter, and once they even pretended to be grandfather and grandson. They played the role-playing to perfection.

It is also said that Goyang City is large, and the market town within it covers a huge area. There are tens of thousands of cultivators coming in and out of it every day. Since the market town is large, naturally everything is sold here. Although natural treasures are becoming increasingly scarce in this continent, they are still present. Many can still be seen in the market town. There are many good things that the two have never seen before, but the prices are ridiculously high. Even though the two feel that they are wealthy, they dare not call themselves rich people when they come here!

In order to keep a low profile, the two of them did not dare to spend lavishly. They only made a few small, inconspicuous transactions with others. They also asked around to find out where there were many graves or where zombies roamed. They stayed in the city for two months and got a general idea of ​​Goyang City.

This Goyang City is the territory of a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. That cultivator is called Old Man Sanyang. Old Man Sanyang owns three big cities, one of which is Goyang, one is Kaiyang, and one is Xunyang. They are all famous big cities. Kaiyang is 500 miles away from here, and Xunyang is 700 miles away. The three big cities form a triangle. The territories within 300 miles around these three cities all belong to the Sanyang Sect founded by Old Man Sanyang.

This old man Sanyang has many followers, all of whom were arranged in these three big cities to govern the people and take care of local affairs. This old man Sanyang behaves in a decent manner. Unlike other cultivators who treat the people as grass and ants, he knows how to recuperate with the people. Only when the people live a better life can his own power grow!

Although Old Man Sanyang is a decent person, he is very overbearing. He does not like cultivators entering his territory without notification, and he will not allow cultivators to fight or cause trouble in his territory. Any cultivator who wants to gain a foothold in his territory must take the initiative to report to the Sanyang Sect and pay a sky-high price of spirit stones every year before they can get permission from the Sanyang Sect to buy houses and land in the city and get the protection of the Sanyang Sect. Because Old Man Sanyang is at a very high level and his disciples are also very talented, the three big cities are managed by them to be impervious to wind and rain, and their territory is stable.

As a result, many cultivators for various reasons wanted to enter the Sanyang Sect's territory for protection, but unfortunately they could not afford the sky-high prices of spirit stones, so some of them disguised themselves as ordinary people and lived in the three big cities under an assumed name, hoping to avoid their enemies. Because the big cities were rich, many people from nearby villages wanted to move into the cities, but the Sanyang Sect had strict management of household registration, so people like Old Man Jin took advantage of the loophole and made money through it!
The couple that Gu Shiyi and the others had met earlier were probably of this type. After they found out, they were secretly glad.
"It turns out that there are people from the Sanyang Sect in charge of the government office. We were lucky that we were not discovered when we entered!"

So the two of them were even more cautious, living in this city like ordinary people on the surface, but secretly doing business and buying things in the market!
The days in the mundane world are always peaceful and happy. In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. As autumn turns to winter, the weather is getting colder day by day. The old woman and the maids in the family have all changed into thick clothes. Although Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan are not afraid of the cold, they still have to adapt to the occasion, so they decide to go out and buy new clothes.

Shopping is a woman's nature. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had been running around since they came to this continent. Now that they had some free time, they took the nanny and the maid and walked out. The five women had enough money in their pockets, so they went shopping and eating all the way. They walked around most of the city until it was almost dark, then they called a carriage, loaded the carriage with things and went home. The nanny's surname was Zhou. At this time, she touched the piles of cloth and said to Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan with a smile,
"I don't know what I did in my previous life to meet you two masters. I have little to do and a lot of free time. Now that the seasons are changing, I have new clothes to wear. It's really a great blessing for me!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"They are just a few seasonal clothes. What's so lucky about that? Aunt Zhou, just wear them. There will be more for the changing seasons!"

The girl Xiaolan beside him also smiled shyly.

"To be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have touched such fine material. The young lady of the family where I worked before never wore such fine clothes!"

These two, the old nanny worked as maids because the family had many sons and they wanted to find wives for their sons, and the little girl was sold because the family was poor. They have helped many families before. When they arrived at the Pu family, the lady and the young lady were not nosy people and did not like them to serve them. They only needed three meals a day to be delivered on time. When they had nothing to do, they could embroider, talk, and daydream, and no one would beat or scold them. Their life was not bad compared to that of the young ladies from wealthy families!
Pu Yanlan has always been aloof to others. She just smiled and said nothing when she heard this. However, Gu Shiyi was teasing the little girl.
"Xiao Lan, you are not young anymore. Do you want me to find you a husband and marry you off?"

Xiaolan is eighteen years old this year, and it is time for her to get married. However, she was a sold slave and had been with several families, but none of her masters cared about her life-long affairs. Although she had cried many times in secret, she did not dare to speak out and annoy her masters. When she heard Gu Shiyi talk about this, her face turned red and she turned away, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi knew that she was eager to get married, so he thought about it seriously.

"They are mortals, unlike us. No matter how long they live, they can only live 200 years. Xiaolan is old enough to get married and become a mother!"

In such troubled times, women have a harder time. Find a good husband for her, a home to raise children, and someone to rely on when she gets old!
Gu Shiyi sighed inwardly, this is the sorrow of ordinary people. It's not that women have to get married, but the world is difficult. Finding a man with good character to live with means just keeping each other warm and struggling to survive in this troubled time!

So she laughed, thought for a moment and said,

"I think the clerk in the jewelry shop in front is good-looking. He has red lips and white teeth, and he is quite eloquent!"

Zhou Ma also said in a funny tone after hearing this.

"Hello young man, I heard that he is not married yet, how about...I will go over and ask him tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay, let's do it right away. Go ask Aunt Zhou tomorrow. Who knows, maybe we can find a good match!"

Xiaolan blushed with shame, and almost buried her face in her chest. Pu Yanlan frowned and said lightly, "Men who are too articulate have restless minds and cannot be trusted..."

"Then... the street ahead, there's the butcher Li San's family. I think the boss of this family is good, honest and upright, and he's very accurate in his hands. If you ask for one pound and one ounce, he will definitely not give you one pound and two ounces!"

Gu Shiyi was surprised when he heard this.
"That's not right. When I went to buy meat earlier, it was his son who cut it for me. I asked for half a catty, but he cut it out to be eight ounces. I just thought he was young and new to the business, so he didn't know how to use the knife accurately!"

Zhou Ma just laughed when she heard this.
"That's because he saw that you were a wealthy person with plenty of money, so he deliberately sold you more!"

"Well... according to what you said, this kid is not honest. He looks honest on the surface, but he is evil inside. If he bites you unexpectedly, it will hurt you to the bone. No way..."

The three of them were discussing the neighbors and the young people of marriageable age within a few miles. When they arrived at the door of their home, the old maid jumped out of the car first and reached out to help the lady and the cousin. However, the lady and the cousin did not move, and looked towards the yard with a strange expression. The old maid looked back at the door, but found nothing unusual. The lock that was locked when going out was still hanging. There was nothing wrong!
When the old woman turned around, the two masters' expressions returned to normal. Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Mother Zhou, you don't need to help me. I am strong and agile. You can help your wife!"

After that, a crouching man got out, and Zhou Ma went to help Pu Yanlan. At this time, Gu Shiyi had already reached the door. He stretched out his hand to support the lock, and the door lock fell off by itself. Gu Shiyi flashed into the yard, and Xiaolan, who got out of the car with him, was left holding the key with a dazed look on her face. She looked at Gu Shiyi's back and whispered,

"Miss Cousin, I...I haven't opened the door yet!"

At this time, Pu Yanlan got out of the car and said with a smile,
"My cousin was impatient and broke the lock. Go and move the things out of the car..."

After saying that, she took two steps forward, picked up the copper lock, and blocked the door. The old woman and the maid went to move the things. Pu Yanlan said again,
"Mother Zhou, please count it. I remember that the cloth was sixteen pieces. Is that the correct number?"

While the two were counting, Pu Yanlan turned her head and looked inside the door, only to see Gu Shiyi rushing out. He gave her a look that showed he had everything under control and laughed,
"Why are you so slow!"

Pu Yanlan understood and said angrily,

"You know we're slow, yet you still don't come out to help!"

Gu Shiyi rolled up his sleeves while complaining.

"There's no man in this house anyway, so you can just treat me like a beast of burden!"

He went out and easily picked up two large bags with his left and right hands. He then walked in with two more bags in his hands. The girl Xiaolan saw him with envy.

"Miss cousin, you are so strong. If you were a man, Xiaolan, I would like to marry you!"

Gu Shiyi laughed loudly,

"Little girl, if I were a man, all the beauties who want to marry me would line up from here to the moat, and it wouldn't even be your turn!"

While chatting and laughing, the four of them moved the things into the yard, paid the driver, and closed the gate tightly...
