Phoenix Destiny
chapter-264

A fat old man was banging on the door profusely.

Suddenly, his fist landed on empty air, and the door was opened.

A slender and fair servant girl stood in front of him and smiled brightly. "This must be Second Grandfather, right? Sect Master invites you in."

The old man narrowed his eyes and stared at the servant girl in front of him in confusion. He then looked up at the board above the door.

"Second Grandfather?"

"Ah? Oh!" The old man scratched his head. "Your Sect Master… Xiang Zichen?"

The servant girl giggled. "Of course. Who else would it be? Here, Second Grandfather. Servant is called Xiao Yu, and I serve Second Miss."

The old man followed the servant girl in confusion. When he entered the side palace hall, Xiang Zichen was indeed sitting there.

Not only was Xiang Zichen there, but even Xiang Zimei and Yan'er were sitting there with serious looks on their faces.

Other than them, there were two gorgeous servant girls beside Xiang Zichen, one massaging him and the other making tea.

"Senior Uncle." Seeing him enter, all three stood up to greet him. Xiang Zichen smiled and ushered him to a seat, smiling thinly. "Please have a seat."

The old man coughed and looked at them in doubt. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" Xiang Zimei asked. "Just following the rules."

As the old man sat down, the three of them sat down too.

"Rules?"

After saying that, the servant girl who was making tea came over. "Second Grandfather, here's your tea. Please enjoy it."

Seeing the fair hand of the servant girl, the old man reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, the servant girl shuddered and poured the tea onto his hand accidentally.

"Ah!"

Xiang Zichen and his juniors started panicking.

Lu Mingshu, who was standing behind Xiang Zichen, pushed him back down. On the other hand, Xiang Zimei received a glance from Zhou Ruying and sat back down herself.

"Hey, you idiot servant, clean up for this old man right now!" the old man yelled and looked over to Xiang Zichen. "Junior Nephew, you're getting richer now, eh? You can even afford servant girls."

"Heh." Xiang Zichen chuckled. He didn't know what to say, and remembering what Zhou Ruying said, he decided to just keep quiet.

"I'm so sorry, your slave is all thumbs, I'm so sorry…." Ling Wuxia "frantically" apologized and immediately took out a cloth to help him clean up. "Unfortunately," she banged against the candle oil on the table, which fell onto the old man along with the lit candle.

"Fuck!" The old man screamed. Being doused with oil and then a lit candle…

He jumped up frantically and patted his crotch profusely. "Water, bring water!"

"Ah, sorry! Servant didn't mean to!" The servant girl, "Xiao Hua," turned fully pale.

"Second Grandfather, water's here!" The servant girl, "Xiao Yu," took the pot of tea that Ling Wuxia was making and poured it on his crotch.

"Ah…!" A miserable shriek rang across the monastery.

Lu Mingshu tried to hide her laughter. This old fellow, who asked him to flirt with Ling Wuxia? That was the goddess who had all the clans in Beiming in the palm of her hand, and she could be considered the most bitchy person in Beiming. Why would she let anyone take advantage of her?

After everything was put out, the old man looked like he was dying. "You guys, you…!"

"Senior Uncle…" Xiang Zichen went over, at a loss on what to do.

"Second Grandfather, do you need servant to get a doctor over?" Zhou Ruying asked, giving him a fake smile.

"That's too expensive!" Ling Wuxia pouted, "Servant heard that cold water can heal burn injuries. This Servant will get Second Grandfather some water right away!"

This made the old man panic. "No need!" he screamed. He threw Xiang Zichen and Xiang Zimei a dirty glance before limping off.

As soon as he left, Yan'er jumped up, grinning from ear to ear. "There he goes. There Senior Uncle goes!"

"Yay!" Xiang Zimei ran to her and gave her a high five.

In the room, Xiang Zichen was the only one who looked gloomy. "Will anything happen if Senior Uncle leaves just like that?"

"What could possibly happen?" Ling Wuxia threw the cloth on the table and rolled her eyes. "You're a coward. His cultivation is no higher than yours, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of in the first place."

"But that's Senior Uncle!"

"Heh." Ling Wuxia said nothing more. "Senior Uncle" your head. If you can't be as cunning and controlling as me, then at least learn from Lu Mingshu and talk with your fist!

"You guys…" Xiang Zimei stared at them weirdly. "Who are you guys?"

Zhou Ruying tidied her clothes and smiled gently. "We are servant girls that you bought, aren't we?"

"..."

"Okay," Lu Mingshu interrupted. "It's basic courtesy to admit things when we are using their space, right?"

Zhou Ruying and Ling Wuxia couldn't retort.

They had wanted to keep things a secret, but who could've known that that old man would be so annoying? Thus, they couldn't help it and ended up giving themselves away.

Xiang Zimei was already suspecting them, and in order to stay here safely, they needed to settle this matter.

"In short…" Lu Mingshu smiled. "We three met with some incident, and now we need to stay here for a period of time. To thank you all, we will help you solve your troubles."

"Sisters, are you the honourable seniors spoken of in the books?" Yan'er whispered.

"Not that good, but better than you all." Zhou Ruying chuckled.

Xiang Zichen and Xiang Zimei exchanged glances.

These three were so dominating that they didn't even need cultivation to dominate Xiang Zichen and his juniors.

"Then…" Xiang Zimei asked cautiously, "what do you need us to do?"

"Nothing." Ling Wuxia smiled. "We are just here to lodge, no need to bother with us."

"Oh, okay…."

Xiang Zichen looked around as if there was something that he wanted to say. He stood up abruptly and bowed. "Seniors, I have a request."

Before he could continue, Ling Wuxia cut him off. "Forget it, we won't agree."

"Senior…"

"What's the big deal in letting him say it?" Seeing her act this way, Zhou Ruying interrupted in annoyance. "Oh kind and very caring Miss Ling, you aren't acting very friendly and kind right now. Where's your mask?"

Speaking of that, it got on Ling Wuxia's nerves. If not for you two country bumpkins, I would still be in Beiming as the goddess I am!

"What does it have to do with you whether I put my mask on or not?"

"I don't know." Zhou Ruying shrugged, looking at her nails. "I just want to show those people in Beiming how the successor disciple of Ancient Jade Summit is acting right now."

"You…!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Lu Mingshu stepped in. "You had quite a happy time yesterday with commenting on how I acted, and yet you're doing the same thing now?"

Ling Wuxia huffed and looked away.

Zhou Ruying coughed and sat down. "She's the one who wants to fight. She's cherishing every moment she has where she can live without the mask!"

Ling Wuxia looked like she was about to skin Zhou Ruying.

"Shut up!" Lu Mingshu facepalmed and turned to Xiang Zichen. "What is it? I'll hear you out."
