True Solution of the Sword Dao-Chapter 55 - 51 Shopping 1

Chapter 55: Chapter 51 Shopping 1

Chapter 55 -51 Shopping 1

The summer vacation was half over.

Lin Fei practiced Qi Cultivation and Basic Sword Technique daily in a regular manner, while Lin You became increasingly secretive. She used the excuse of attending dance classes and even brought a classmate home to hang out. After some thorough questioning, their parents finally let their guard down a bit since the little girl Lin You had brought home seemed quite well-behaved and sensible.

This made Lin Fei reflect on how deceiving appearances could be in this world.

“Feifei, why don’t you come with mom to buy some clothes today? We seldom see your sister, and she happens to be home today, so let’s go out together and shop for some autumn clothes,” Jiang Feng said while tidying up the messy cushions on the sofa.

“I don’t mind,” Lin Fei replied, sitting in the study, putting down his pen. Then he began to tidy up the textbooks on the desk.

“I want to go! It’s been a long time since I last went shopping!” A small head peeked through a crack in the door of Lin You’s bedroom as she clamored loudly.

“Today we are mainly buying clothes for your brother. You already have enough clothes; your brother doesn’t even have half as many as you do,” Jiang Feng said with a smile.

“It’s fine, I still have plenty of pocket money left, and even my red envelope money from last year,” Lin You said without hesitation.

Sitting in the study, Lin Fei was momentarily speechless. That girl’s red envelope money never lasted past the third day. If it was still there, it would be really odd. It surely must be something like a welfare payment for being a psychic.

“Is that so?” Jiang Feng asked, puzzled.

“Yes, yes, I’m very thrifty~~~” Lin You dashed out of her room in a burgundy plaid T-shirt and black skinny jeans, looking very youthful and serene.

Lin Fei eyed his sister’s outfit and then glanced at his own.

A grey, baggy shirt and the black uniform pants from school. It was as if there was a sky and earth difference between them, a classic disparity between a city beauty and a country bumpkin handling cattle. Their fashion sense wasn’t on the same level at all.

“I do need to buy some clothes.” Since merging with the Sword Master’s seal, Lin Fei increasingly felt a subtle pickiness about clothing and his surroundings. It was an attitude he never had before. It seemed as if everything slightly displeasured his sight. Sometimes, just tidying up some items casually or replacing some things, the arrangement of his surroundings dramatically ascended several layers in terms of ambiance.

He knew he must have been influenced somewhat by Yan Shi.

Currently, there was about five million left in Lin Fei’s bank account, but explaining the origin of this money to his family was a bit troublesome. So, he couldn’t use it. Although he had already requested the society to secretly support his father Lin Jianguo’s small bookstore, it would take some time to see any results.

So for now, he still had to spend his family’s money. Even though he had much more himself, it wasn’t feasible.

Twenty minutes later…

Lin Fei followed behind, watching Jiang Feng and Lin You enthusiastically picking through discounted clothes at a shop along the street side. The shopkeepers put part of their goods on the roadside as a competitive strategy to attract customers with price reductions.

Lin You and Jiang Feng alternated between visiting one shop to another. Lin Fei followed, with a faint hint of confusion in his eyes, pondering some complex questions without immediate answers. He wasn’t about to foolishly waste time just trailing behind.

Just then, a middle-aged woman handed him a flyer with great speed. Lin Fei reflexively took it. A glance at the corner of his eye left him speechless.

‘Ping City Infertility and Sterility Hospital for Women, Return to a Healthy Life, Address********Phone********’

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

Unable to help himself, Lin Fei sighed heavily, crumpled up the flyer, and tossed it into a nearby trash can.

“What would a guy like me do at a Women’s Infertility and Sterility Hospital? Nowadays, anyone dares to distribute flyers,”

Having said that, he then saw the same woman giving a flyer to a bouncing little boy with a smile.

Lin Fei finally couldn’t help but turn away; the situation felt too awkward.

Up ahead, Lin You and Jiang Feng had already gone quite a distance, heading towards the nearby Lifang Department Store.

Lifang Department Store was a well-known shopping complex in Ping City, nicely decorated with a wide range of products covering various price points. It was also a key commercial hub in Ping City’s business district.

The eight-story Lifang Department Store is divided from the ground floor to the top floor by price range, from low to high. Moreover, it also has many branded stalls rented within it. It can be considered a place where one could save a lot of travel by just visiting one store.

The three of them walked into the first floor of the Lifang Department Store one after another. The gentle, pale yellow lighting on the first floor illuminated the entire area brightly, and the faint yet clear piano music flowed soothingly, instantly relaxing the mood.

The moment they pushed open the glass door to when they closed it, it felt as if they had stepped into a space far from the street.

“Lifang’s environment is really better,” Jiang Feng said, pulling a tissue from her bag to wipe her sweat. “It’s much cooler in here.”

“There’s air conditioning, after all,” Lin You commented, not needing a tissue as there was not a trace of sweat on her forehead.

In the vast and spacious space, a long elevator immediately divided it into two sections; clothes and shoes on the left, and the food area on the right. In both sections, groups of people could be seen moving back and forth between shelves and stalls. There was also a continuous stream of people constantly coming and going around Lin Fei and the others.

“Let’s go to the clothes section first. We’ll buy some clothes for Feifei first, then check out other places. Is that okay, Lin You?” Jiang Feng asked.

“I don’t mind. But doesn’t Lin Fei look the same in whatever clothes she wears?” Lin You muttered, unconsciously starting to slip into her bad habit of picking on Lin Fei again.

“Even if I look the same in everything, clothes do get old,” Lin Fei immediately retorted. “Unlike you, who has lots of clothes at home that you hardly wear. Weren’t you just shouting about saving just now?”

“What do you know?” Lin You replied disdainfully, turning her head away and not wanting to talk anymore. In her view, Lin Fei had absolutely no sense of how to match clothes or any sense of taste, and they basically had nothing in common on this topic.

“Alright, alright, both of you say less,” Jiang Feng shook her head, “Out here, Lin You, you should look out more for your brother’s dignity. Let’s not make a spectacle.”

Lin You immediately pouted, “Got it.”

Lin Fei couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile just in time.

Most of the shops on the first floor carried domestic brands with reasonable prices, ranging from tens to around 300 yuan, intended for middle-income families. There were also several discount stores continuously advertising sales and clearing stocks, their prices even cheaper, at most a few tens of yuan.

Lin You walked in front, enthusiastically scanning left and right. Just ahead on the left was a women’s clothing store, featuring styles aimed at young girls with a predominant theme of fashion and cuteness. While Jiang Feng was still picking out shoes for Lin Fei, Lin You had already dashed into the women’s clothing store.

Lin Fei sat on a shoe-fitting stool, trying on a pair of shoes while occasionally casting glances at Lin You, who was attentively listening to the store owner’s explanations about the products, to ensure she didn’t lose sight of her and wander off again.

She remembered a previous shopping trip when Lin You had wandered off, and both Jiang Feng and Lin Fei had completely lost sight of her. She definitely didn’t want to repeat that episode today.

The black leather shoes were a style Lin Fei had casually chosen. Previously, when Jiang Feng bought things for him, she primarily considered cost-effectiveness rather than appearance. As a result, the purchases were items that Lin Fei disliked wearing; although durable, they would end up tucked away in a box, waiting to mold, then thrown away.

Despite this, Jiang Feng was still content. However, today Lin Fei had taken the initiative to choose a style on his own.

After trying them on, he stepped in front of a floor mirror to check.

“How do they look?” Jiang Feng asked.

“Not bad, I’ll take this pair,” Lin Fei nodded.

“The total discount comes to 113 yuan, thank you for your patronage,” the sweet-looking saleswoman said with a smile.

“How much is this?”

Lin You gently tugged at a pair of white stonewashed jeans and asked.

“315,” the female store owner replied accurately. She then continued to enthusiastically sell to Lin You, describing how durable the jeans were, how they could accentuate her beautiful curves, and how high their cost-performance ratio was compared to similar products, focusing solely on the positives without mentioning any flaws.

Lin You sneered and stretched out two fingers, “200.”
