The Rising Phoenix

"You mean the mercenary?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Yes." Bai Xifeng grabbed some food and stuffed it into her mouth.

"They are over there. At the riverbank." Bai Tingfeng asked.

After eating, Bai Xifeng dismantled the array. The Burning Flame Mercenary group left after that. The three of them had already started moving again. After spending almost five days inside the mountain, they finally walked out of the mountain.

They encountered some people. The people kept staring at them. They were surprised to see a group that came out of the Sophia Mountain looking like that. Looking clean and energetic. Usually, people who came out of the Sophia mountain looked torn and tired. Not to mention, the beautiful girl beside the men who looked like she was full of energy.

Bai Xifeng walked toward the people. The people looked at Bai Xifeng warily.

"Hi... Just want to ask some questions. Is there a town around here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Oh... Yeah... Just walk straight this path." One of the people answered.

"Thank you." Bai Xifeng smiled politely.

"There is a town ahead. Just walk the path here." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Hmm... It is nearby." Bai Tingfeng said.

"I want to take a nap. So, I will call out Cerberus for a ride." Bai Xifeng grinned.

Cerberus appeared in front of Bai Xifeng. The people who still watched them, stepped back in shock. Why did a beast suddenly appear there? Their eyes were opened wide when the beautiful girl patted the beast. Not to mention, she also jumped into the beast's back.

Bai Tingfeng also called out his Lighting Silver Wolf and rode on his back. As for Bai Xiang, he took out his sword and rode on it. Only someone in Nascent Soul Realm could perform the sword flying technique.

"Look... Look... He is flying with his sword. He must be a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator."

"Is that General Bai?"

"Yeah... That must be General Bai."

"We are quite lucky."

"By the way, who is the young man and girl beside General Bai?"

"That must be his son and daughter."

"As expected of General Bai's children, they possessed the beasts that looked very strong."

Bai Xifeng was napping while Cerberus ran. She was enjoying her nap until someone woke her up. She rubbed her eyes.

"What?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"The beast are not allowed to enter this town." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Eh... But he is a contracted beast." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Well, they still fear the beast." Bai Tingfeng stated.

"Fine... Fine...." Bai Xifeng jumped down from Cerberus.

The people from the town were surprised when they saw a fine young lady jump from the beast.

"Cerberus, you can go back first." Bai Xifeng said.

Cerberus disaspeared from everyone's sight.

"So, are we done? Can we enter the town now?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Well, to enter our town, you need to pay the fee." The person stated.

"How much it is?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"100 taels per person." The person stated.

"How expansive. I wonder what's actually inside your town." Bai Xifeng complained.

Bai Xifeng wanted to pay but Bai Xiang stopped her.

"Let me pay." Bai Xiang said.

"Oh... Okay..." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xiang paid the fees.

"Sir, it is not enough. You just paid for two people." The person said.

"You should ask the fee from him." Bai Xiang stated.

"Father, why don't you pay for me as well?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"You are a man. Pay it for yourself." Bai Xiang retorted.

Bai Xifeng chuckled. Bai Tingfeng rolled his eyes to his father while taking out the money and paid for the fee. The people finally allowed them to enter the town.

Then, they could see some people were rushing toward them. Bai Xiang narrowed his eyes. Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow and Bai Tingfeng stepped in front of Bai Xifeng, shielding his sister from the people.

"Hello, I am Zhu Delai, the son of this town's mayor. I would like to invite you to our mansion." Zhu Delai said.

"For what?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Well, my father would like to be friend with you. We are delighted if you can stay at our mansion." Zhu Delai stated.

"Father, just accept it. We can get free accommodation and meal. We can save money for those things." Bai Xifeng whispered to his father.

"What?" Bai Xiang was dumbfounded.

His daughter was really willing to do anything to save some money. How stingy she was when came to money.

"If they have a bad intention toward us, we can just beat them up." Bai Xifeng added.

"Father, I think what Xixi said is right." Bai Tingfeng stated.

Bai Xiang was really speechless at the moment.

"Sir?" Zhu Delai called for Bai Xiang.

"Sure. Let's go." Bai Xiang nodded.

It was like her daughter said. If something was wrong and those people had a bad intention, they could just beat them up. So, Bai Family followed those men. They arrived at Zhu Mansion. It was large indeed. But nothing special about that because they had seen a lot of mansions like this in the Capital City.

"Let's meet my father first. He is waiting at the hall." Zhu Delai said.

He led Bai Family to meet his father. They entered the hall to see some people sitting inside. It was like a meeting.

"Father, I have brought the people." Zhu Delai announced.

All eyes were on Bai Family.
