The Rising Phoenix

The banquet came to the end. Before the guest left, Bai Xifeng began to distribute the small gift that she packed to the guests. The guests started to leave.

Some of them were curious about the gift that they got from Bai Xifeng. They opened the gift and surprised to see the elixir and a pill. The General Bai's Residence was very generous. They gave the elixir and pill just like that.

They wanted to know what kind of elixir and pill that they got. So, they went and had them checked. They were surprised when they found out that the elixir and pill were Third grade elixir, Profound Recovering and first grade pill, Scarlet Gathering Qi.

It seemed General Bai's Residence was very rich. How could he just give these resources just like that? They did not know that Bai Xiang also had no clue what Bai Xifeng prepared for the small gift.

As for her friend, Su Zhilan and Wan Qiaolian also returned to their house. Su Zhilan and her family checked the gift. They were an elixir and a pill. They also had them checked.

They found out Su Zhilan got something different from the rest of the family. What Su Zhilan got was Meridian Expansion Pill and Extend Yuan Vitality. Third grade pill and fifth grade elixir while they got Third grade elixir, Profound Recovering and first grade pill, Scarlet Gathering Qi.

Clearly what Su Zhilan got were more precious. However, Su Family understood that Bai Xifeng gave something like that to Su Zhilan because Bai Xifeng treasured Su Zhilan.

Finally the banquet was over. The servants started to clean up. Liu Longwei wanted to stay but Bai Xiang asked him to leave. He reluctantly nodded.

They entered the carriage to return to his place. However, while they were on the way, the carriage suddenly stopped. Liu Longwei and Hou Tingguang who accompanied became alert and tense. They were waiting for the enemy to strike.

"Tell my third brother to come out."

Liu Longwei heard the voice. He noticed that it belonged to the crown prince. The door then was opened. The couchman informed Liu Longwei about the crown prince's request.

Liu Longwei did not want to get out of the carriage. He just let his head out of the door. He found the crown prince still riding on his horse. If he got out of the carriage, he might need to tilt the upwards to look at the crown prince.

"Third brother... I want you to go to the imperial father. Tell him that you want to break the engagement with Lady Bai." The crown prince stated what he wanted Liu Longwei to do.

"What? I don't want to do that. I want to get married to Fengfeng. We are going to be together forever." Liu Longwei refused.

"You... It is an order from the crown prince." The crown prince demanded it.

"No... I don't want to do it. Fengfeng will be my wife." Liu Longwei stated.

"You..." The crown prince tried to put oppression on Liu Longwei.

However, Hou Tingguang pulled Liu Longwei into the carriage.

"Your Highness... Please don't do this." Hou Tingguang said to the crown prince.

"Tsk..." The crown prince clicked his tongue.

He really could not read this man. Hou Tingguang appeared and protected that fool 10 years old. He could tell that Hou Tingguang was a strong cultivator. He did not know why Hou Tingguang would protect this fool.

"Liu Longwei, you and Xifeng are not suitable for each other. You should know that. She is a brilliant woman. If you stay by her side, she will be ridiculed by others." The crown prince tried to brainwash Liu Longwei again in order to make him go to the emperor and break the engagement between him and Bai Xifeng by himself.

After that, the crown prince left. Hou Tingguang entered the carriage and saw Liu Longwei laughing.

"Do you hear that he says?" Liu Longwei asked Hou Tingguang.

Hou Tingguang nodded.

"It is ridiculous how he could say something like that. So, if I am not a suitable match, does it mean he is? What a joke." Liu Longwei's expression had already changed.

"Well... Ignore him. I don't care much about him." Liu Longwei said.

The crown prince would return to Tianlong School later. So, there was nothing to be worried about.

The next day, the banquet at General Bai's Residence became the topic. Everyone was talking about the gift that the people who attended the banquet got. General Bai was so generous to give the third-grade elixir and also the first-grade pill.

The elixir was probably concocted by Bai Xifeng. She was an Immortal Rank Pharmacist after all. It would be easy for her to concoct the third-grade elixir. The people who did not get the invitation were very jealous. If they got invited, they might get the elixir and pill.

Yin Weapon Store began its operation in the morning. People came to buy the rune that could block the lightning. Some of them even argued about who should get the rune since it was limited. The blocking lightning rune would be useful to block the tribulation lightning or face the cultivator who had the lightning element attribute, like Bai Tingfeng.

Luckily, Mao Zhiqiang was there. He handled the situation without anyone got hurt. At first, people ignored Mao Zhiqiang and insisted on fighting to determine who would get the rune.
