The Rising Phoenix

"Yes... Yes... I will investigate that." Zhu Guan could smile.

"I am going back to sleep now. I hope nothing like this happens again." Bai Xifeng said and left the place.

"My daughter is a very outspoken person. I hope you don't mind that." Bai Xiang said.

"It's nothing. I don't mind at all." Zhu Guan forced himself to smile.

"If nothing else, I will return to the courtyard." Bai Xiang stated.

"Yes... Yes... Sorry for disturbing you guys in the middle of the night." Zhu Guan apologised.

"Father..." Zhu Delai wanted to say something.

But Zhu Guan cut him off. "I know. You don't need to remember it."

He turned to his man who had been cut by Bai Xiang. He already lost one man. He hoped this would be successful.

"Clean the body." Zhu Guan ordered.

"Yes, Sir." A servant answered him and immediately did his job.

"I think he already believes us." One of the elders stated.

"Hmm... Let's get him to work tomorrow." Another one chimed in.

"Sure." Zhu Guan nodded.

Zhu Guan and others did not know that they had been watched. After that, they separated and went to their rooms. The bees returned to Bai Xifeng and Anya informed Bai Xifeng about that.

Bai Xifeng smiled as she listened to Anya. So, those idiots wanted to get her father to work for them the next day. Well, she would not let her father work for free. She would take the payment from them.

Remembering what the maid mentioned about the treasure, Bai Xifeng's eyes lifted up. They probably store their valuable items inside the treasure room. She would like to visit it.

So, she called Mori out. The Bloodthirsty Bat looked at Bai Xifeng eagerly. It had been a while since Bai Xifeng called him. He was quite happy being called out.

"Mori, I have a job for you." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"What job?" Mori asked.

"Go and search for the treasure room. You know what it means, right?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes." Mori nodded.

"Good. Then, go now." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng allowed the other Bloodthirsty Bats to go out. Not many, only 20 Bloodthirsty Bats. Mori began to command his kins to search the room that was full of treasures.

Bai Xifeng did not go back to sleep. She wanted to write some runes for herself. Because of that, she almost wrote about 1000 runes until Mori came back with some good news.

"Do you find it?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes. We find two of them." Mori stated.

"Good. I will go and check it." Bai Xifeng stated.

Bai Xifeng changed into male clothes. She also used the invisible rune on her body. Her entire body disappeared.

Bai Xifeng walked out of the room, following Mori to the treasure room number one. It was located far from their location. In front of the room, two guards stood out.

To enter the room, Bai Xifeng needed to distract the guards first. Bai Xifeng asked Mori to make a sound on the back.

Mori did what Bai Xifeng requested. One of the guards heard that. He would go to check on what he had heard before. So, only one left. Bai Xifeng walked to the treasure room. She could see that the treasure room had been locked. She needed to open the padlock before she could access the inside.

The guard went to check on the weird sound. His partner asked if he had seen anything. The guard shook his guard. He told his partner that it was probably some animals. Neither of them realised there was someone behind them who heard and watched them.

Bai Xifeng wanted to open the padlock. However, she was afraid it would make some sounds. So, she decided to put some array on the guards, blocking their senses. They would not be able to hear or see what was currently happening around them. The array would give the illusion that nothing happened.

Bai Xifeng began to tackle the padlock using some thick needles. After a while, the padlock finally unlocked. She immediately opened the door and looked inside.

It was a surprise to see dozens of chests. When Bai Xifeng opened one of the chests, she was shocked. It was money. Another chest was full of jewellery. The next one was pearls. She also found gold and silver.

Without wasting any time, Bai Xifeng took them into the Mirror World. Well, of course, she did not want them to notice anything missing. She filled the chest with dirt and stones. Only the tops of them were the real things, enough to cover the dirt and stones.

Bai Xifeng was happy. She arranged the chests in their original positions. After that, she left the treasure room, locked the room back. After that, she dismantled the array around the guards. The guards did not notice anything.

Bai Xifeng grinned. There was another treasure room. She could not wait to see what was inside the next treasure room. She told Mori to bring her there. It was not far from the first treasure room.

When she arrived there, she could see that this treasure room also had guards at its door. So, she used the same method that she had used in the first treasure room. She managed to enter the room in 15 minutes. She expected to see the same valuable items inside the treasure room.
