Eps. 53 — White Goose Shop
“Your horses aren't perfect yet, knock your soles when you kick and put your strength first on your thighs and calves!”
Jian Chen gave his input when Jian Luan asked to be trained in the inn yard. Both practiced sparring.
“To use a circular kick make sure you have to be in a balanced position, in the kick technique you need a high balance!”
Every time Jian Luan attacked, Jian Chen gave his input on the mistakes of his movements, not only was Jian Luan himself studying but other Jian clan disciples as well, they were watching there, listening to Jian Chen's directions.
Jian Luan continued to deliver punches and kicks but Jian Chen was so easy to avoid, Jian Chen then counterattacked, with a single move Jian Luan immediately fell down.
“Today is enough! Brother Luan practice perfecting your horses as well as your balance, it is a mistake that you often make.” Jian Chen reached out.
“Thank you, I learned a lot from you.” Jian Luan smiled faintly before accepting the remark.
Jian Chen ended the training and he said he would go out of the academy after this, Jian Chen wanted to buy his equipment as a swordsman.
“If I may give you a suggestion, Brother Chen, buy a swordsman's kit at the White Goose Shop. Yesterday I found a lot of good equipment there. Although expensive but the quality can not be underestimated.”
“Hm, I just heard it, what is a new store?”
“Brother Jian you really don't know?” Jian Luan asked with a look of disbelief. He then explained that if the Miou clan is famous for its pill properties, the White Goose Shop is famous for its quality peddling.
“The store was already there 2 years ago, its appearance which was a few months early immediately became a hot topic of conversation and only a matter of time White Goose Shop became famous in Qianshan City.”
Jian Chen furrowed his brows but did not ask any further, he then bailed his way towards the middle of the city because the shop Jian Luan mentioned was there.
The White Goose Shop turned out to be much more famous when Jian Chen asked the address of the store, it did not take long until he finally found the shop in question.
Jian Chen stood in front of the shop with a feeling of slight astonishment from just hearing his name. In his previous life he had never heard of the White Goose shop while this shop was so famous in the community.
‘Hm, is it possible that this store will bankruptcy in the next 13 years?” Jian Chen had lived 5 months in Qianshan City at the age of 27, no shop was this big and good.
Jian Chen's daydream was split apart when the shop door opened and the owner greeted him kindly.
“Young Master, can we help what Young Master needs?”
The owner of the store was a man in his 60s, short and had a distended stomach. From his neck to his body was plastered with a lot of expensive gold jewelry.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly. “I heard that this store sells the best swordsman equipment in this area. The quality is very high, I want to see the contents inside..”.
“Ah, Young Master is too praising, our store only sells the best goods only.” The store manager smiled widely, “mari enter Young Master, maybe you will be interested in the items we have.”
Jian Chen nodded before entering the shop while the shopkeeper walked behind him, there was no customer inside because Jian Chen had arrived at the beginning of the day.
“We sell a lot of weaponry and equipment with the best materials, swords, arrows, spears, and protective clothing are the results of our own store creation…” The store manager explained at length about his shop beside Jian Chen.
Jian Chen heard that while looking through the items sold, indeed as the shopkeeper said, the quality of the equipment here was so high that Jian Chen who saw it clucked in admiration.
‘With this high quality should this store be more advanced in the future, but why do I just know..’.
Despite the astonishment with his mind Jian Chen still chose what to buy, one of them was a protective suit that was in the form of jade and diamonds. Jian Chen could feel the strength of the protective suit.
The Shopkeeper coughed at Jian Chen's choice. “Young Master instead I do not want to sell it but this protective suit is very expensive, compared to other items this protective suit has the highest price in this store.”
The protective suit that Jian Chen chose was named Jade Dragon Shirt, its quality could not be juxtaposed with ordinary armor armor.
“We sell it for a hundred thousand gold coins, as expensive as the price of this protective suit is made of a hard diamond arrangement.”.
Jian Chen took out a leather pouch containing the money mentioned, “Does it cost just that much?”
The Shopkeeper gulped his saliva as the light of gold coins shone in his eyes, long before Jian Chen gave his money the old man had already snatched it in Jian Chen's hands.
“Young Master is great at choosing! Now this shirt is the Young Master who has!”
Jian Chen shook his head, from his character, that bloated man was a person who thirsted for money materials.
Jian Chen did not stop there, he bought other equipment such as a high quality throwing knife in the tens. As a result, the Store Manager was so excited because he earned a lot of money.
Simultaneously as the shopkeeper was wrapping up the parallels Jian Chen had chosen, there were two other customers coming. It looks like the two people are looking at the items before they want to buy it.
“Hm, Why is this green sword here, wasn't he sold yesterday by someone?” Murmured one of those customers.
“Iya, I also saw him flaunt it after buying. Do you think this green sword has two?”
“Entah, did not the store manager say this green sword is only one made. Maybe that person didn't buy it.”
The two customers were slightly conversing about the green sword in front of him but Jian Chen still heard a glance before his attention was fixed on the middle-aged man, he had already packed Jian Chen's ordered items.
“The protective clothes do not need to be packed, I will wear them now.” The Shopkeeper nodded then brought Jian Chen to the dressing room.
When wearing it Jian Chen's body did not feel the slightest weight even though the material was hard, it showed the quality of this protective suit was indeed high. Jian Chen was sure that no weapon could penetrate it, even if it was an heirloom it would be difficult to damage it.
After that Jian Chen said goodbye from the shop but before he stepped up, the Shopkeeper gave him something.
“Good Young Master, this is a special card from our store. If later Young Master wants to buy again then I will give a 20% percent discount in each purchase Young Master.”
Jian Chen accepted the card and thanked him. As Jian Chen's footsteps were already far away a wide smile filled the Shopkeeper's man, a smile that exuded intent veiled within his heart.

There was another one Jian Chen had to buy with his money one of which was to buy a residence outside the Academy. Jian Chen needed his own private place because when he was lodged despite having a private room he could not be too free.
Jian Chen was looking for that residence while walking in the middle of the city crowd when suddenly there was someone calling his name.
If it was the Academy then he would not be surprised that anyone knew his name but this time he was in the crowd of the city, it was impossible for anyone to know his name.
As Jian Chen turned his head, he found two masked women walking up to him. Although he could not see his face, Jian Chen was familiar with the curves and hairstyles of the two women.
“Nona Meily, Miss Ziyun, is that you guys?” guess Jian Chen when the two were near him.
“Brother Jian was amazing, being able to recognize us in one look,” Ziyun chuckled then slightly unmasked her and revealed her beautiful face before closing again.
In contrast to Ziyun, Meily who was beside him was silent lowered her head. Ziyun chuckled at the sight of her best friend's ears turning red, one thing in her mind, her best friend must be nervous.
