Yichen body was so stiff it was like a rock. Who knew what expression he hid under the cloak?

Don’t you want to strive for something in your life?
Ji Fengyan looked at Yichen. Whether he was grateful for his upbringing, or whether he was cowardly and weak, Yichen had not exposed Liu Shangfeng even when he had the chance to do so. Up to today, he never mentioned him. Even when Liu Shangfeng had tried to put him to death, he had accepted it wordlessly.
This was not kindness. This was stupidity.
In some ways, Yichen was very like the original owner of Ji Fengyan’s body.
Ji Fengyan had taken possession of the body, but could not save her soul to thank her. She still had a chance with Yichen.


Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his whole body quivering.
He did not know if he did not want to strive, or if he was unable to strive…
The hall was dead silent. Linghe and the others did not know whether to speak. If Ji Fengyan’s guess was correct, Liu Shangfeng was truly despicable. At the same time, Yichen’s silent acceptance made them feel angry and helpless.
After a long silence, Yichen slowly raised his eyes. The cloak around his face slowly slid down. Tears trickled down his hideous and his wide eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears.
He had never known that he could have his own life. He had had a wretched childhood. When Liu Shangfeng had taken him in, it had been the best thing that had ever happened to him. Even… even if his tutor, Liu Shangfeng, took all the glory, and used him as a scapegoat after the incident, Yichen had never felt any anger.
He had only felt… endless despair and loneliness.
It was not that he did not wish to have a dignified existence, but… no one had ever told him that he was a person…
A person worthy of respect and kindness.

Go and open a pharmacy.
Ji Fengyan looked at Yichen’s tear-streaked face and spoke slowly.
Yichen was taken aback and looked at Ji Fengyan in shock.


Ji Fengyan shrugged and said,
I wanted to open a pharmacy but have no time to run it. You can help me.

Ji Fengyan’s own time was limited. She could not sneak around the various shops in the capital looking for precious objects that had spiritual energy. She previously observed that the medications refined by the pharmacists seemed to be popular. She also analyzed the medications obtained from Gong Zhiyu.
In truth, these medications could not be compared to her elixirs. However, since the medications could be exchanged for so many treasures, why not make use of them?
Ji Fengyan had long had this plan, but had not found anyone suitable to run a pharmacy. If she had left it to Linghe and the others, they would have been cheated.
Yichen hesitated for a long time before raising his hand to gesture.
He was absolutely willing to help Ji Fengyan open this pharmacy, but… his reputation in the capital was terrible. If people knew that he was part of the shop, no one would buy their items, no matter how good they were.
Ji Fengyan understood Yichen’s meaning, but…

Now that Liu Ruse has recovered, you don’t need to worry about the rumors in the capital. I will take care of it.
Ji Fengyan spoke smilingly. She already had a detailed plan in mind.
When Yichen saw that Ji Fengyan was insistent, he did not waver any longer. He made up to his mind that he would have a dignified existence this time.
Not only for himself, but to repay Ji Fengyan for her kindness.


After settling the problem of the shop, Ji Fengyan did not have anything more to say. She only exhorted Yichen to be more careful as she guessed that Liu Shangfeng would not let him off so easily.
