Chapter 130: Have you guys ever heard of the Spring and Autumn?
“Oh right, I haven’t explained how to use this thing yet, so I might as well give you a demonstration.” Bai Feng picked up the Image Retainer and placed it in front of himself. Then he glanced at Bai Yu Mo and Yu Yao beside him. “You two, come over here. Better stick close to me.”
Although puzzled, Bai Yu Mo and Yu Yao still stepped closer and watched as Bai Feng’s hand-held device floated images of the three of them.
Next, the Image Retainer made a “click” sound, and a photo of the three of them leaning together appeared on it.
“Huh?” Yu Yao tilted her head, leaning in for a look. “This function’s pretty fun! How do you use it?”
“Just hold down here. You can take pictures even without Spirit Power, but if you keep using it for a long time, you’ll need Spirit Stones to recharge it.”
Under Bai Feng’s guidance, Yu Yao quickly got the hang of taking photos.
She then lifted the device and snapped a picture of some delicious food on the table.
Bai Feng: “……”
This scene… feels oddly familiar, huh?
“What are you guys talking about?”
Seeing their strange behavior, Gu Yue Qing, the City Lord’s daughter, strolled over, eyeing Yu Yao, who was busy taking pictures, with curiosity.
At that moment, Bai Feng suddenly turned his head, staring at her for several seconds until she started feeling a bit shy. Only then did he speak. “Senior Sister Gu, could you help me with something?”
“Sure, what is it?” Gu Yue Qing immediately put on a serious look. “Earlier, because we weren’t able to protect you properly, you almost got caught by Black Lotus. I’ve been wondering how I can make it up to you.”
“That’s not really your fault. Who could have guessed Black Lotus’s tricks would be so weird?” Bai Feng waved dismissively, not wanting to dwell on it. “I want Senior Sister Gu to help sh**t an advertisement to promote our upcoming products.”
Since Yu Yao’s shop is in Xuan Guang City, they’d prioritize releasing the product there. So he needed to think about how to attract customers from Xuan Guang City.
Coincidentally, Gu Yue Qing, as the daughter of the city’s Lord, was beautiful, well-built, and quite talented—famous not only in Xuan Guang City but also in nearby towns and cities.
No one was more suitable for promoting products than her.
“That’s easy,” Gu Yue Qing nodded without hesitation. “When do we make the… ad?”
“Not in a rush. Besides the advertisement, I also want you to take the product around to busy places,” Bai Feng elaborated on his plan. “Afterwards, if you need to set up Array or want a new Portable Array Disk, just come find me. I can help make them for free.”
Though a bit tempted, Gu Yue Qing shook her head. “No, no, it’s just a little thing.”
“In fact, I might be creating some other novel items to sell in the future, so I’ll need your help sometime,” Bai Feng said with a shake of his head. “Can’t have you working for free all the time, right?”
Seeing Bai Feng’s sincerity, Gu Yue Qing nodded. “Then I won’t hold back. If you need any help in the future, just come find me.”
“Alright, let me first tell you what this product is…”
…
While Bai Feng explained the Image Retainer to Gu Yue Qing, the City Lord Gu and others also watched this scene unfold.
Seeing Bai Feng getting along well with his daughter, she finally felt a relief in her heart.
No wonder she was worried. After all, Bai Feng had an incident on her turf. Though several accidents occurred, she hadn’t been able to protect him—that was a fact.
Not to mention whether Bai Feng might blame them or just develop a negative impression, it wouldn’t be good. Bai Feng, being a genius of Array, would definitely want to maintain good relations, if not win him over.
Gu City Lord withdrew her gaze and smiled at Chu Ning Yan and the others. “Young people are indeed more lively. A tiny little Image Stone, and they can play around like this.”
Chu Ning Yan sighed. “I just hope he focuses more on cultivation.”
“No, I think Bai Feng’s way is pretty good,” Liu Meng shook her head. “You might not realize how expensive Array Masters are. Without a steady income, I just wander around building Arrays for others, which is a waste of time.”
“Okay, okay, I get it, you’ve had a tough few years,” Chu Ning Yan said helplessly, waving her hand. “Just saying randomly.”
“Let’s talk about something more interesting,” Gu City Lord, sensing the change in mood, quickly shifted the topic with a smile. “I recently heard about something interesting—have you guys heard of Spring and Autumn?”
Liu Meng paused her chopsticks, leaning slightly forward. “Go on.”
“I only found out about it recently while investigating the Demon Path. I thought it was something caused by the Demon Path folks, but it turns out it’s from Blue Rainbow City. Strangest of all, no one knows who Spring and Autumn actually is. Many speculate that Spring and Autumn has some relation to the local White Family.”
Liu Meng pondered, nodding slightly. “Hmm, I remember their reputation locally isn’t low, but there’s no news about them. The only ones capable of pulling this off are probably the White Family.”
“Yeah, not sure which young member of the White Family is researching this stuff, but I gotta say, the paintings are pretty good,” Gu City Lord continued with a smile. “I recently bought two volumes. Want to take a look?”
At this point, Chu Ning Yan scrunched her brows in confusion. “What is Spring and Autumn?”
Liu Meng silently looked at her friend, who grew up in the sect, then waved her hand. “Nothing much, just a regular little album. You wouldn’t be interested.”
“Really?”
Chu Ning Yan still felt a bit off.
Meanwhile, Liu Meng advised Gu City Lord, “It’s crowded here. Better to not discuss this openly. Wait until later to talk about it privately.”
“Got it,” Gu City Lord quickly nodded, realizing what was going on. “Let’s talk about other things then. I heard that something happened in Eastern Continent again recently.”
“Another conflict between cultivators and the Eastern Continent Empire?”
Gu City Lord shook her head. “No, it’s more complicated. The emperor in his prime recently died suddenly. No heir was chosen, leading to a power struggle among the princes and princesses. Meanwhile, cultivators from the Eastern Continent also seem to be plotting something.”
“I remember the royal family of Eastern Continent all have Dragon Clan bloodlines, right? And if I recall correctly, only those with the most intense bloodlines become emperor,” Liu Meng thought for a few seconds. “If an emperor with Dragon Clan bloodline dies in the palace, there must be internal strife—probably some of the royal family’s own people involved.”
Chu Ning Yan nodded. “Things in Eastern Continent are bound to get chaotic soon.”
