The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 685: Celebration

Too many things had happened in the Capital City over the past few days. The empress dowager’s illness was cured by Bai Xifeng, Bai Xifeng concocted a God Rank elixir and the empress dowager managed to advance in realm, from High Rank Congealing Channels Realm to Low Rank Cold Core Realm.

People suspected Bai Xifeng’s elixir played some part in this advancement. So, some people would like to meet Bai Xifeng. They sent invitations to General Bai’s Residence inviting Bai Xifeng to their house’s gathering.

However, all of the invitations had been rejected. General Bai’s Residence closed their door to outsiders. No one knew what happened inside the General Bai’s Residence. Even Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng did not come to the morning meeting.

A lot of people suspected that something happened to Bai Xifeng after being struck by lightning before. However, the pharmacists who had been invited to treat Bai Xifeng told otherwise. They said that Bai Xifeng was fine and just recuperating.

Inside General Bai’s Residence...

Bai Xiang was holding a banquet for his daughter after she woke up. He knew that his daughter probably would sad for missing her meals. So, he held a banquet. The attendees for the banquet were people that worked for General Bai’s Residence including the General Bai’s soldiers who were in the Capital City.

"Xixi... Eat..." Bai Xiang said.

"Thank you, Father. You really know me well." Bai Xifeng was happy to see a lot of food. "By the way, what are we celebrating?"

"We celebrate your recovery." Bai Tingfeng said.

"My recovery?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.

"Yes, you already broke the second poison seal." Bai Xiang said.

"Oh... That’s right." Bai Xifeng nodded.

When she woke up yesterday, she was greeted with a hug. She was about to punch the person away when she heard the sobbing in the voice of the person who hugged her.

It was Heishe. He was hugging her and sobbing. Baishe was also there. He looked relieved when he saw that Bai Xifeng had opened her eyes.

Apparently, her soul was shaking a little bit during the process of breaking the poison seal. That was why she slept for another two days.

Heishe told Bai Xifeng how the process went on. Due to the intense pain, she wanted to end her life. But Baishe and Heishe held her back. Then, she ended up biting her tongue. Baishe saw it and stuffed his hand on her mouth. So, she bit his hand instead of her tongue. Even Heishe, who held her body, was not safe either. She kicked him mercilessly.

Bai Xifeng seriously did not remember anything about those things. However, she apologised to them multiple times. They told her that they were fine. Bai Xifeng could see the bite mark on Baishe’s hand and the bruise on Heishe’s body, even though it had already faded away.

She was really thankful and grateful to both of them. Otherwise, she had already committed suicide. She did not expect it to be so painful that she thought about killing herself.

Bai Xifeng asked them if her father and brother knew about that. They shook their heads. Bai Xifeng was relieved that they did not tell her father and brother. They would be worried and sad. She did not want her father and brother to feel that way.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were happy hearing that Bai Xifeng managed to break the poison seal. Because of that, they were having a banquet right now.

"Xixi, eat a lot." Bai Xiang said.

"Thank you, Father." Bai Xifeng said.

Everyone ate and drank happily. The atmosphere was very good. Even some people who passed the road in front of General Bai’s Residence wondered why General Bai’s Residence seemed to have a banquet inside. However, they did not dare to peek out. If they got caught, they would face General Bai. With General Bai’s strength, it would be enough for her to smack them like smacking an ant.

"I don’t want to go to the morning meeting." Bai Tingfeng sighed.

"Me too." Bai Xiang sighed.

"Facing those ministers is more tiring compared to training the military soldiers." Bai Tingfeng complained.

"I agree." Bai Xiang nodded.

"Let’s continue not going to the morning meeting." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Yes... Yes..." Bai Xiang agreed. freēnovelkiss.com

"What do they mean by that?" Bai Xifeng asked Bai Chao.

"Well, Master and Young Master are not going to the morning meeting for several days already. Our mansion also closed the door for any people. Young Lady, you can not blame Master and Young Master. We received a lot of invitations from many people. Most of them were addressed to you." Bai Chao stated.

"Addressed to me?" Bai Xifeng popped a question mark on her head.

"Yes. Since you concocted a God Rank Elixir, many people want to meet you. However, you fell sick after that, Master suggested closing our mansion to any people." Bai Chao said.

"I see." Bai Xifeng said.

"If you don’t want to go to the morning meeting, then don’t go. The emperor can not do anything to you." Bai Xifeng said.

"You are right, Xixi. He can not do and would never dare to do anything to me because I am strong." Bai Xiang laughed out loud. "Should I resign from my position? Tingfeng can sit in my position."

"No... Father, you can not abandon me and have your fun." Bai Tingfeng argued.
