Upon hearing this, the old man looked up at Feng Jiu in surprise, then he thanked her happily: “Thank you Young Master! Thank you Young Master!”

After Zhuo Junyue escorted the old man out of the room, he closed the door and sat down at the table. He saw the old man stroking his beard staring at Feng Jiu.

“I thought you’re not fond of Bai Qingcheng? Why are you helping the Bai family?”

“Do I really dislike her so much?” Feng Jiu glanced at him and said: “I want her to be an assistant at Heavenly Pill Tower because I want to deflate her arrogance. Having not seen her for a year, I do find that she is more pleasing to the eye than when I was at the Heavenly Sun Sect.”

She paused and took a sip of her tea: “Besides, didn’t you hear the old man say the Bai family has been wiped out? They’re only left with the young children, and since their older sister is my subordinate, I should help if I can. Anyway, it’s so boring travelling with the two of you, it will be good to loosen my muscles and bones from time to time.”

Upon hearing this, the old man’s mouth twitched slightly while Zhuo Junyue didn’t speak and just picked up his tea and drank it, as if he hadn’t heard her words.

The three of them sat in the room drinking tea for a while. They chatted for a while, then they went to rest.

Early the next morning, the Second Master of the Bai family had risen early and waited for Feng Jiu and the others to come out of their room. When he hadn’t seen them, he inquired if they had left, and when he was sure they hadn’t left, he sat on the first floor relieved and waited for them to come downstairs.

The old man and Zhuo Junyue woke up first and took a stroll in the inn. Feng Jiu slept till nearly noon and only awoke when she heard the cry of the child.

After she had fed the child and changed his diaper, she came down with the child in her arms. When she saw that the others were already on the first floor eating and chatting, she walked over.

“You’re awake? I told the waiter to cook some porridge for the both of you. Eat some, and feed some to the child.” The old man said and beckoned to the waiter to serve the porridge.

“Young Master.” Bai Second Master bowed to Feng Jiu.

“Young Master.” The two children also followed their Second Grandpa and bowed to Feng Jiu.

“Sit down! Order what you want to eat, and bring some for the journey. We don’t stop very often.” She said and motioned for them to sit down while she also sat down with the child in her arms.

Although Feng Jiu had asked them to sit down and eat together, Bai Second Master didn’t dare to let the two children sit at the table and eat as equals with her. Therefore, he took the two children to another table and said to Feng Jiu: “We have just eaten and we have also prepared some dried food to eat on the journey.”

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu didn’t say anything anymore and fed the child. After she had eaten, the group set off together on the road to Hundred Rivers City.

When they passed a city along the way, they stopped for a short time. Feng Jiu left them for a while and found the operations branch of her forces in the city and ordered them to investigate the matter of the Bai family and send the news back to Heavenly Pill Tower.

However, just as Feng Jiu went into the city, and Sage Hun Yuan and the others were waiting for her outside the city, a group of black robed men appeared suddenly and surrounded them.

As they looked at the thirty something black robed men, all of them who were stronger than Celestial Strong Exponents, a few of them were even at Immortal Sacred level strength, Sage Hun Yuan couldn’t help but stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.

“Tsk tsk, you really know how to choose the time, and you’ve brought so many people too! Looking at their strength, even this old man is a little scared.”

When the two children saw those people appear, their faces turned pale and they huddled behind Bai Second Master, their hands clasped the corners of his clothes tightly.
