Urban All-Round Master

”No! You’ve helped our Divine Needle Sect, and this is something we will remember forever,” Wang Xiaomin, uncertain if she was trying to curry favor with Lin Zifeng, said something inexplicable.

Even her father, Wang Chongyang, was bewildered, utterly confused by what his daughter had said.

”Father! I’m sorry. There’s something I’ve been hiding from you. Today, in front of Young Master Lin, I want to clarify it. Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy with this weight in my heart,” Wang Xiaomin said suddenly.

”... this...”

Wang Chongyang’s aged face turned awkward; he didn’t understand what his daughter intended to say.

”Alright, since you want to say it, go ahead,” Lin Zifeng shrugged, unconcernedly.

”Back then with the incident at the Medicine King Hall in Yanjing, my father always told me to find a chance to thank you, but I haven’t found the opportunity, so I must first say sorry to you.”

Wang Xiaomin appeared very serious, even speaking with a deeply earnest tone, causing Lin Zifeng’s face to feel somewhat embarrassed. Hearing her put it this way made him seem particularly petty, but in Yanjing, when he helped the Divine Needle Sect, he wasn’t seeking any form of return. Honestly, the Divine Needle Sect couldn’t really do anything to repay Lin Zifeng, so he never expected anything in return.

”Haha, I thought it was something significant. Turns out, these are just minor matters. No need to be so serious,” Lin Zifeng chuckled, ”Now that everything’s clear. I helped the Divine Needle Sect in Yanjing, and now our Huayu Group is asking your Divine Needle Sect for help as well. Let’s just call it even.” Lin Zifeng quickly waved his hand, dismissing these trivial matters.

”Yes, Young Master Lin helped us a great deal in Yanjing, and now it’s time for our Divine Needle Sect to repay the favor. Min’er, how could you handle things like this? You nearly gave me a heart attack with the way you acted just now...”

Wang Chongyang wasn’t foolish. From a few words, he roughly understood Lin Zifeng’s character and quickly chimed in.

”But we still owe you!”

Wang Xiaomin was very insistent, considering the mysterious Young Master Lin from the South Heavenly Gate as her idol, she felt the need to express her gratitude profusely.

”Alright, alright. Let’s not dwell on who owes whom. Let’s talk about that new formula. Go on, talk about it; treat me like air,” Lin Zifeng said as he spread his hands and started eating heartily.

Wang Xiaomin, this girl, Lin Zifeng couldn’t figure her out, nor did he wish to know too much. There will always be misunderstandings; if you have to resolve each one, there are too many in the world.

”Alright then, Old Wang, let’s discuss the new formula your Divine Needle Sect is promoting,” Liu Ruyan said, redirecting Wang Chongyang’s attention.

When approaching the Divine Needle Sect, Liu Ruyan learned they had a new formula. Calling it a formula is one thing, but it’s more like a Beauty Powder, made from something produced by the Divine Moth.

It supposedly has significant benefits for human skin. The Divine Needle Sect has conducted experiments, showing this Beauty Powder can remove spots, enhance skin, and whiten... many effects. Once it hits the market, it will undoubtedly spark a commercial boom. This is why Liu Ruyan spent a lot to learn about the Divine Needle Sect’s new formula.

”Do you think this product can really make it in the market?” Wang Chongyang was still worried. Beauty Powder was a name given by Liu Ruyan. It is essentially a medicinal formula.

”Old Wang, don’t worry about that; leave it to our Huayu Group. Whether it succeeds or not, you just sit back and collect the money,” Liu Ruyan smiled, offering Wang Chongyang reassurance.

”Yes, originally, we shouldn’t have brought this out, but our Divine Needle Sect is facing greater difficulties now. If we don’t make a splash at this moment, we might gradually fade away in people’s eyes.”

”Old Wang, rest assured. I’ve had many people try this Beauty Powder already, and the experimental success rate is nearly 100%. Once we promote this Beauty Powder, it will certainly outshine those cosmetics on the market. Moreover, I’ve already prepared to apply for a patent for the Beauty Powder; only our Huayu Group will produce it, with no rivals in the market.”

”Beauty Powder? Why don’t you sell it yourself, Senior Wang?” At this moment, Lin Zifeng looked up, intrigued by the Beauty Powder they were discussing.

”Haha, Young Master Lin, we are a Chinese Medicine Family, not just merchants aiming to make money,” Wang Chongyang replied with a laugh.

Indeed, even if Wang Chongyang were handed a valuable formula, it wouldn’t be effective in his hands. There’s a fundamental difference between a businessman and a physician...

”Is this Beauty Powder really that legendary?” Lin Zifeng wondered, curious about the Beauty Powder they spoke of.

”Young Master Lin, if you don’t mind, I’ll get you some to try it out,” Liu Ruyan, knowing Lin Zifeng’s skepticism, took out a small pouch wrapped in red tissue from her bag and placed it in front of Lin Zifeng.

”This is the Beauty Powder. Try it here, and you’ll see the effects immediately.”

”Is it really that magical?” Lin Zifeng was skeptical. If such a magical powder exists for commercial use, it could make a fortune. To convince Lin Zifeng of the new formula’s effects, Liu Ruyan personally sprinkled some of the Beauty Powder on a small knife scar on his arm.

The Beauty Powder was a slightly reddish color, with tiny grains, resembling little sugar pearls.

These powder grains touched the skin, and after gently rubbing with clean water, the powder gradually absorbed into his skin along with the water. What happened next stunned Lin Zifeng!

As the powder absorbed into the skin, it created a cool, refreshing sensation. Along with this cooling feeling, the noticeable knife scar on his arm began to shed what looked like skin keratin.

The scar then appeared much lighter. Whether it was a trick of the eyes or the magic of the powder, the once obvious scar became less conspicuous, though some scar remained, visually it was much smaller.

”Young Master Lin, now do you believe in the power of these grains?” Liu Ruyan smiled and playfully patted his arm. ”Whoa~ it really works!” He brought his arm up to his eyes, noticing that the scar had indeed diminished.

”Of course it works. Otherwise, why would I deem this Beauty Powder a new formula?” Liu Ruyan teasingly eyed Lin Zifeng, her enchanting demeanor and perfect figure drawing a subconscious glance from Wang Xiaomin at her own chest.

”Damn! How did this woman’s chest get so big? It’s way bigger than mine, and so perky. It seems even your chest is different if you’re wealthy.” Wang Xiaomin thought to herself, frustrated.
