The Rising Phoenix

Bai Xifeng was about to go to sleep when she heard some commotion. She went out to see if his father and brother were also coming out because of the commotion. It finally began.

"What is going on?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I don't know." Bai Tingfeng shook his head.

"Let's go and check on the situation." Bai Xiang said.

So, they left the courtyard. Upon coming out, Bai Tingfeng saw a maid being chased by a man.

"Come here, I will not treat you badly." The man said.

"No!!!" The maid shouted.

Bai Tingfeng rushed over and kicked the man who chased the maid. The man was sent flying, hit a wall and went black. The maid looked at Bai Tingfeng with admiration.

"Are you okay?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Young Master, thank you for your help." The maid smiled shyly at Bai Tingfeng.

Bai Xifeng watched the scene. 'What a pity that I don't have any popcorn. The girl would fall onto the man who saved her. Same plot.'

"Can I ask something?" Bai Tingfeng stated.

"Yes, what is it, Young Master?" The maid asked.

"What is going on?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Oh... A group of men came to the mansion and started to kill us. They want us to show the treasure room. How could someone like us know about such a room?" The maid cried.

Bai Tingfeng looked at his father and sister.

"Let's go to see the Mayor first." Bai Xiang suggested.

"I heard His Excellency is at the main hall." The maid stated.

So, they searched for the mayor and his family. Turned out the maid was indeed right. Zhu Guan and his family were fighting the intruders at the main hall.

Zhu Delai noticed the Bai Family. He began to shout.

"We will never surrender. If you want to kill us, let's see if you can do it." Zhu Delai shouted.

"That's right. Even though I am already old, I will never submit to you, evildoers." Zhu Guan said.

"So, you don't want to tell me about your treasure room." The intruders said.

"It is for my town. I will never give it to you." Zhu Guan said.

Bai Xifeng clicked her tongue. These people really could not act. It was so horrible to watch. So, she did not want to watch it anymore. She tucked her father's sleeve.

"Can you end it?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Right now?" Bai Xiang asked back.

"Yes. I want to sleep now." Bai Xifeng said.

"Okay." Bai Xiang said.

Bai Xiang rushed in front of the intruder and killed him straight away. Everyone was stunned for a moment and did not process what had just happened.

"Sir Bai... What are you doing?" Zhu Guan finally asked.

"Killing the leader of the intruders." Bai Xiang spoke nonchalantly, making Zhu Guan and others speechless.

"If you don't want to leave now, you can leave your life here." Bai Xiang threatened the remaining intruders.

The intruders looked at each other and then, at Zhu Guan. Zhu Guan did not want others to be killed by Bai Xiang and secretly signalled them to leave.

"So, what is your decision? Do you want to leave here or leave your life?" Bai Xiang asked again.

Since their real boss already signalled them to leave, they immediately ran away. Staying here for any minutes would make them lose their lives.

Zhu Guan forced himself to smile and thank Bai Xiang.

"Sir Bai, thank you for your help. Otherwise, we might die." Zhu Guan said.

"People like that, you should just kill. No need to talk sense to them." Bai Tingfeng said.

"That's right. Since they dare to do something like that, they should know the consequences." Bai Xiang added.

Bai Xifeng was watching Zhu Guan and others. She could see the crackinn Zhu Guan's expression. She smirked. It was obvious that everything was staged. Anya already told her everything. She also conveyed the information to her father and brother.

Zhu Guan wanted the Bai Family to believe that he was the Mayor. He wanted the Bai family to help him kill the real mayor. So, he staged this scene where the intruder came asking for the mone, which was supposed to be for the town.

However, Zhu Guan did not expect that Bai Xiang would come and kill the intruder, who happened to be his men swiftly. He felt scared when he saw Bai Xiang's strength. The intruder was quite strong.

So, even though he was attacked, he should be able to defend himself. Unless he could not defend himself at all.

"So, I assume they come here to rob you." Bai Xiang stated.

"Indeed." Zhu Guan nodded. "They were after the money that should be used for the town."

"I see... They are really horrible. I will help you destroy them." Bai Xiang said.

Zhu Guan smiled. Well, one life could buy Bai Family's trust. It was worth it. Not to mention, Bai Xiang was quite strong. He believed that Bai Xiang would kill the real mayor.

"Can we sleep now?" Bai Xifeng yawned.

"Yes... Yes... I am sorry to keep the young lady up until now. You are probably about to go to sleep earlier." Zhu Guan apologized to Bai Xifeng.

"Indeed. You should work on your security. How could someone can easily enter your mansion? Someone probably let them in. You should investigate that." Bai Xifeng acted like a young lady who complained to them.
