The Rising Phoenix

However, when they sensed Mao Zhiqiang's strength, they did not dare to do anything like that. The rune fell to the people who came first. First come, first served.

The customers asked when the next batch would be restocked. Mao Zhiqiang apologised to the customers and told them they would be informed about that later

The chaos finally calmed down. Yu Nianzu could go back to focusing on the armament skill.

Liu Longwei visited Bai Xifeng early in the morning. Xiao Li wanted to go and wake Bai Xifeng up, but Liu Longwei just shook his head, telling Xiao Li that he would wait for Bai Xifeng to wake up. It was fine for Bai Xifeng to wake up late. She must be tired from handling the banquet yesterday.

Xiao Li nodded and told him that she would come back, bringing some tea for him. Liu Longwei walked and sat at the gazebo, enjoying the view.

Bai Xifeng woke up and got out of the room. She yawned and stretched her body. She was half sleeping when she headed to the source of water. She did not realise there were two other men watching her.

She washed her face with cold water. Then, she roughly rubbed her face. This time, Bai Xifeng fully woke up. She turned and wanted to head to her room because she saw Liu Longwei.

Liu Longwei expected Bai Xifeng to shout. However, they stared for about 3 minutes before Bai Xifeng responded to him.m

"Why are you here again? You don't feel bored? Never mind. Well, I will need to change my clothes first." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Forget what you saw earlier." Liu Longwei said to Hou Tingguang.

Hou Tingguang nodded and responded. "Yes, My Lord."

Xiao Li arrived and served Liu Longwei with some tea. She then heard the door to Bai Xifeng's room open. She turned around and saw his young miss already awake and had changed her clothes.

"Young Miss, do you want something to eat?" Xiao Li asked.

"Yes, please... Thank you." Bai Xifeng grinned.

Xiao Li smiled and went to prepare breakfast for Bai Xifeng.

"Why are you here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Someone would like to meet you. Do you want to meet her once?" Liu Longwei stated.

"Who is it? A patient? Do you want me to cure someone? I will be good with 5 million. It is a friendly price since it is you." Bai Xifeng leaned on the chair, waiting for Liu Longwei's answer.

"No... No... She is not asking for the treatment." Liu Longwei shook his head.

"She? So, it is a woman? Who is she? Your lover?" Bai Xifeng leaned over and wanted to know more about it.

Liu Longwei was startled. "What? No... She is not my lover. I am engaged to you. How could I betray you like that?"

It was Bai Xifeng's turn to be startled. She did not expect Liu Longwei would deny it like that. She coughed, clearing her throat.

"Well... Then, who is she? Why did she have to ask you to meet with me?" Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow, feeling curious about this woman's identity.

"She is one of my subordinates." Liu Longwei said.

"Your subordinate? You mean she is from the Black Moon?" Bai Xifeng was surprised.

"Yes." Liu Longwei nodded.

"Wow... I don't expect you to have a female subordinate. I thought people from the Black Moon are all men." Bai Xifeng stated.

Xiao Li came back with Bai Xifeng's breakfast. Both Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei paused their conversation and continued after Xiao Li excused herself. She told Bai Xifeng that she would go and practice her skills. Bai Xifeng nodded.

"She is one of my twelve pillars." Liu Longwei stated.

"Oh... Really?" Bai Xifeng smiled.

Her mind had already drew the conclusion about this woman. This woman wanted to meet her because she wanted to see the woman that her Lord would marry. This woman must be one of Liu Longwei's admirers. Well, this man was sickly handsome. If people knew that he was faking his stupidity and hiding his face under the mask, those women would be surrendering to him.

Bai Xifeng believed that the woman who wanted to meet her wanted to see her and judge her face-to-face. Well, she was not afraid.

"Sure. When will she come to meet me?" Bai Xifeng agreed to meet the woman.

"Today? The earlier you meet, the better." Liu Longwei said.

"Sure. I am free today anyway." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Tingguang, go and bring Meili here." Liu Longwri gave the order to Hou Tingguang.

"Yes, My Lord." Hou Tingguang nodded and immediately left.

'So, that woman's name is Meili. The name is very girly.' Bai Xifeng ate breakfast. After she had finished eating, she gathered all of the dirty dishes and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Liu Longwei asked.

"I am going to bring the plates to the kitchen." Bai Xifeng said.

"Oh..." Liu Longwei nodded.

He was slightly confused. He looked around and saw that there was no one around at Bai Xifeng's courtyard. Not a single servant. This place at the palace was also the same. The servants avoided his place. Was Bai Xifeng being treated the same as him at the palace?

Bai Xifeng came back and sat down again.

"Are you okay?" Liu Longwei suddenly asked Bai Xifeng that question.

"Huh? What do you mean by asking me that question?" Bai Xifeng was confused.
