The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 147: The Mastermind

The man was shocked as the punch landed on his face. It was very a strong punch. His face was swollen up right that instant.

Another man looked angry at Bai Xifeng.

"How dare you punch my friend?" He shouted.

He began to attack Bai Xifeng. However, Bai Xifeng could avoid the attack. The men were perplexed. In terms of speed, Bai Xifeng should be slower than them because they were much higher in rank compared to Bai Xifeng. But why their attack could not land on Bai Xifeng and could Bai Xifeng easily avoid the attack?

"This time, I will attack you guys." Bai Xifeng said.

Well, it was not just a normal attack. She used the poison from her poison sea, forming the needles that would disappear when the needles struck a surface. She did not want to kill those men. So, she only used a small amount of poison.

The men fell to the ground. They did not understand why this happened. However, they knew that it was Bai Xifeng’s doing.

Bai Xifeng approached the two men. The two men became panicked. Of course, they were scared to die. They regretted underestimating these two young men.

"So, tell me. Who is the mastermind? Who wants information about Young Master Shen’s wife?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Both of the men looked at each other. They were reluctant to tell Bai Xifeng about that. It was oblivious. If they spilt the beans, they might be beaten up by their boss. It would not be a light beating.

"Oh, are you sure that you did not want to tell me about that?" Bai Xifeng smiled.

The men were still silent. Bai Xifeng nodded several times.

"I see... You are very loyal. I think you need an award for that." Bai Xifeng’s smile became wider.

The men gulped as they saw the smile became wider.

"You can go to hell to meet King Yama. Tell him that I miss him, will you?" Bai Xifeng’s eyes shined.

"NO! Don’t kill us." The men begged for Bai Xifeng’s mercy.

"Then, tell us who is it?" Bai Xifeng put the dagger on one of the men’s throat.

Both of them trembled. They had two option. One, they told Bai Xifeng about the person who hired them and would get beat by their. Second, if they kept their mouth shut, they might be killed.

The second option was much worse. It was better to get beaten up by their boss rather than lost their lives right away.

"I will tell you the truth." The men made their decision.

"Good. You are making a good choice." Bai Xifeng nodded. "Then, tell me about that."

"Well, actually the quest came in one hour ago. A young woman probably in 19 to 20 years came to our place placed the quest. She told us to go and extract the information from you about Young Master Shen’s wife’s condition." One of the men explained.

"Does she tell you her name?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"We don’t know her name." Another man shook his head.

Bai Xifeng went silent. She thought of something. She had someone in her mind.

"Does she has something in particular on her apperance?" Bai Xifeng asked.

The men started to think about the woman who put them in this mess. Then one of them remembered something.

"I remember she has an handkerchief. On the handkerchief, there was a word embodery that wrote Mo." The man exclaimed.

"Mo... Master... Is it that woman?" Yu Nianzu asked Bai Xifeng.

"Probably." Bai Xifeng nodded. "We can not touch her but someone else can. Let someone do the hard work. We can just swing our legs while watching that occur."

"What’s about these men?" Yu Nianzu asked.

"Hmm... Let them be." Bai Xifeng stated.

"What? Young Master, please give us the antitode." The man was panicked when they heard their target wanted to leave just like that.

"Oh, don’t worry. The poison would leave your body for a couple of hours. For the time being, you can lay on the ground. Good bye." Bai Xifeng said.

The men were speechless. They just could wait until the poison gone from their bodies.

Bai Xifeng still chewed on the meat buns that she bought earlier.

"Tsk, it is already cold. Hmm... I will ask Xiao Li to reheat them when we return." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng did not have any interest anymore to stroll around. So, they decided to return to Shen Manor.

Bai Xifeng’s return had been reported to Mo Shuang already returned to Shen Manor before Bai Xifeng. She thought that she could see Bai Xifeng being beaten up by those men that she hired.

However, the maid told her that Bai Xifeng and another man looked perfectly fine. There was no signal that they had been beaten up or something like that. She did not know if Bai Xifeng was afraid getting beaten up, so, Bai Xifeng decided to tell the truth or it was the opposite one which those men failed.

If those men failed, she already lost one thousand of her money. She gritted her teeth feeling irritated. She needed to confirm it right away. So, she wanted to go out again to meet those men.

However, she could not do it because Madam Shen suddenly asked for her to meet her. She could not deny Madam Shen because Madam Shen was her life guard in the Shen Manor. That matter needed to wait. She changed her clothes and went to see Madam Shen.

"Shuang-er, you are here." Madam Shen was happy to see her niece.

"Auntie, why are you calling me?" Mo Shuang asked.

"Oh, I just want to ask you to join me for dinner." Madam Shen said. freewebnoveℓ.com

Mo Shuang was furious inside when she heard about the reason. However, of course, she could not show her feeling to Madam Shen.

"Where is Uncle?" Mo Shuang asked.

"Hmph! He is always busy with his work." Madam Shen complained.

"Why don’t we invite Brother Shen?" Mo Shuang was little excited.

"Hmm... You know him. He is also the same as your uncle." Madam Shen sighed.

Before Ren Liqiu fell into coma, she always came and accompanied Madam Shen. So, when Ren Liqiu fell into coma, Madam Shen was a little lonely. Thank goddess that Mo Shuang came to visit Shen Manor.

So, Mo Shuang and Madam Shen ended up eating dinner together. After that, they had a long coversation. Mo Shuang returned to her courtyard after late at night. She could not sneak out anymore tonight. She would go out tomorrow.

As for Bai Xifeng, she entered Mirror World. Baihu was happy to see her. He had been inside since Bai Xifeng and others entered the town. After playing with Baihu for a while, she went to see the garden that she tried to grow the herbs.

"It worked. It has grown up." Bai Xifeng exclaimed.

Bai Xifeng did not know whethe the herbs could be grow inside the Mirror World as Baishe told her. So, she just tried to grow someone of them. And it worked.

"I told you so." Baishe was laying on his true form.

Bai Xifeng started to think what herbs that she needed to grow. There was no need to buy the herbs that she already grew inside the Mirror World.

Bai Xifeng came out of the Mirror World, humming a song. She exitted her room and saw Yu Nianzu was practising with his sword.

"Why are you not sleep yet?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Yu Nianzu stopped practising. "I can not sleep. So, I decided to practise. But what a pity that I can not use my element attribute here."

Bai Xifeng did not allow him to use his lightning element here because it would attract problem. Some people might have bad intention toward Yu Nianzu. Bai Xifeng was hoping that he could advance in rank and entered Establishing Foundation. He would be strong and protect him and his sisters from those people.

"Master, when will you going to tell Yougn Master Shen about today’s incident?" Yu Nianzu asked.

They did not tell anyone yet about the incident. Even to Yu Xiaohui, Yu Xiaoqing and Xiao Li.

"Maybe tomorrow since I need to go and check his wife. I wonder what would he do when he know about that. I also wonder how that woman desperature to know about Ren Liqiu’s condition." Bai Xifeng rubbed her chin.
