Weapon seller in the world of magic

The Emperor suddenly stopped smiling and a surprise took over him because all he knows is that this man is at the peak stage of legendary realm expert.

The person only told him that he was acquainted with Emperor's late father-in-law, Lan Gengxin, and expressed his wish to meet the Queen Consort after their important talk was over.

However, by that time, Lan Jingyi was already gone to meet Mark. The Emperor doesn't know where his wife and daughter went. He thought they went shopping.

After waiting for a while, the legendary realm expert lost the patience to wait any longer and intended to return. Who could have expected him to run into Lan Jingyi right then?

And now that the Emperor heard of the name, he was taken aback, "Lan surname?"

He doesn't know who Lan Jing is but judging by the current situation, he could easily guess that he was not only a part of the Lan Sect but also hated by Lan Jingyi.

Does that mean he's probably a traitor? Shang Fu wondered.

Meanwhile, Lan Jing continued to maintain his pleasant smile without minding the behavior of Lan Jingyi, "Well, I'm officially here as the envoy of the Eastern Sun kingdom, Queen Consort Lan. Unofficially, I'm here to meet my grand-nephew."

"Grand nephew?" Lan Jingyi couldn't help but think of Mark at first but then, she remembered that no one knows about him. Forgetting about her real son, even Shang Wei was also her precious son whom she raised for 25 years. Naturally, she doesn't want him to get near to this traitorous uncle of hers.

"From the moment you had betrayed my father and left the sect when he needed you the most, you are no longer a family of mine, Lan Jing. And that extends to my children too. Just like me, a Queen Consort, they are nothing but a Prince and a Princess to you."

Lan Jing didn't take her words to his heart at all as if he ignored her warning. He said with a meaningful smile, "You can stay away from your blood but cannot cut off your relationship with your blood relatives. That connection stays intact no matter how much time passes."

His words made her remember Mark once again and she wasn't able to deny that. She stayed silent.

After saying what he wanted to, Lan Jing no longer stood on the spot. He mounted onto the winged horse and said goodbye to the Emperor before flying off away. The other one also followed him.

As the Queen consort was staring into the sky in a terrible mood, the surprised Emperor confronted her and brought her back to reality. "Dear, what's going on? He just addressed Shang Wei as his grand-nephew. Is it your uncle? I thought everyone in the Lan Sect died back during that dungeon break."

Lan Jingyi took a deep breath and controlled her emotions before she started explaining, "He is my paternal uncle who ran away like a coward during the dungeon break. It might not have changed any outcome but your heart breaks when your family member abandons you at the time of need.

Not wanting to tarnish the reputation of my family, I lied that he perished away in the battle.

After that, you know my story. I was adopted by late Supreme Commander Zi Ning and I get to know you…"

Suddenly, Emperor Shang fell into a dilemma as he took a glance at the Pegasus. He asked with a bit of hesitation, "Say, Dear, you wouldn't mind the presence of the Pegasus, right? Technically, it is from the King of Eastern Sun. He is only an advisor."

Lan Jingyi nodded that she understands. And The Emperor smiled once again as he not only mounted on the horse but also let his wife sit in front of him to go on for a ride in the sky and improve her mood. They aren't planning to leave the compound of the Imperial Palace. So, none attempted to follow them.

But, this act sure irked some maidens who serve the Empress and the other Queen consort as they felt that the Emperor is too smitten with Lan Jingyi.

Meanwhile, Bai Xun silently stared at them, feeling a little bit regretful. He was an unofficial student of Lan Gengxin and he was aware of Lan Jing's identity too. But, he doesn't know that this guy is a traitor. He felt disgusted for trying to show great hospitality to him.

Sometime later;

The winged horses stopped somewhere one of them glancing around to check whether they are going in the right direction or not.

"Master, shouldn't we have informed Queen Consort Jingyi about the young master?" The disciple took the opportunity to ask Lan Jing.

Lan Jing shook his head with a sigh, "If I had the chance, I would have informed her. But, with Shang Fu standing there, I can only give her subtle hints. And even if we tell her, considering the state she was in, Jingyi will only think that I'm harming her son and will do everything in her power to stop us. Anyway, let's go.

*neigh* neigh*

The winged horses once again started moving. Soon, they reached the Genesis Weapon store and landed on the ground.

Both of them entered the store, and like others, they too were surprised to find Song Yue working in the store. She was currently rechecking the goods and then recording their names in the notebook for the accounts. As for Shang Jiao, they already learned about her situation from the Emperor.

Both of them entered the store and were greeted by her.

"Welcome to Genesis Weapon Store. Please state what you are looking for. You can also roam around and check if you like any weapon and wanted to buy it."

Song Yue looked like she adapted to her job very quickly.

Li Cheng couldn't help but stare at Song Yue in a daze. He is a young man. So, he naturally gets attracted to a beauty like Song Yue. Her voice also sounded very pleasant to his ears.

Realizing that his disciple was almost about to drool and embarrass them, Lan Jing elbowed him, bringing him to reality, and then said, "I wish to meet the owner of the store, Lu Zhen."

It was at that moment Allen recognized him, "You have visited the store before for my master, a while ago."

"Yes, Sure I am," replied Lan Jing with a smile.

Assuming that it is really an important guest because everyone who comes to have a chat with Mark turned out to be someone with great status in society, Chang Bo hurried to one of the chambers.

There he saw Mark standing in a corner, against the wall, and observing the butler robot, which was moving things like various weapons from a heap on the floor to their assigned places. Alina was training it in doing the basic manual labor in the store.

Of course, the process is very slow and it would be a lot faster if he let Alina do it personally but Mark wanted to employ these trained butler robots in other branches so that there won't be needing any staff apart from a manager.

Chang Bo then informed Mark about the guests.

Mark left the judgment to Alina and left the room. As he reached the lobby, he saw the two strangers. He inspected their details automatically.
