CHAPTER 749: CHAPTER 749: DINNER CELEBRATION
"Great. Thank you." Bai Xifeng said.
Bai Xifeng took it and stored it carefully in the storage rune. She would plant it in the soil in the Mirror World when they returned later.
"Is that really precious?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
He saw the expression on Bai Xifeng’s face. His sister would not be this happy if the herbs were nothing.
"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded.
She was particularly skipping. She did not expect this small town to have something like that. And she got it for free. She walked through the store one by one. After that, she did not find anything that could interest her anymore. So, she told her brother that she was done exploring this town and wanted to return. So, both sister and brother returned to the Mayor’s Mansion.
Bai Xiang was practising his sword when his children came back. He stopped the practice.
"How is it?" Bai Xiang asked.
"Great. I manage to find something good." Bai Xifeng nodded. "I need to take care of them first. We will talk later."
Bai Xifeng rushed to her room. She closed the door and entered the Mirror World. She took out the things from the storage rune. She carefully planted them into the soil. She went to fetch the water and watered the plants. She needed to wait about one month to see if it had recovered.
When the things were recovered, she would use them for the alchemy. She would not have to worry about the supply. When Bai Xifeng came out, the sky outside had already changed its colour.
"You’re finally out." Bai Tingfeng said.
"Yes?" Bai Xifeng was confused. Were they waiting for her? But why?
"Go and clean up. Mayor Wu invites us to a dinner celebration to honour our father for helping them defeat Zhu Guan and his gang." Bai Tingfeng said.
"Owh... There will be a lot of food, right?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Hmm... Probably." Bai Tingfeng nodded.
Bai Xifeng asked the maid to prepare the bath. One hour later, Bai Xifeng was ready. The dinner celebration would start anytime. Bai Xifeng managed to come before it started.
Wu Shunyuan made a speech about their victory. He thanked everyone for believing in him. Then, he thanked Bai Xiang for his contributions. If it were not for his letter, Wu Shunyuan and his men might have lost their lives. Last but not least, Wu Shunyuan mentioned Bai Xifeng’s contribution. Because of Bai Xifeng, they managed to secure the funding for the town development.
Bai Xifeng did not pay much attention to the speech because her eyes were glued to the food. She could not wait to start eating. The moment Wu Shunyuan said, ’Let’s eat, ’ Bai Xifeng was so happy. Her chopsticks were very fast at picking up food.
"Hmm... Delicious." Bai Xifeng mumbled.
The dinner celebration was so lively. Wu Shunyuan’s subordinates also invited their family. So, there were a lot of people at the dinner celebration.
The most uncomfortable one was Bai Tingfeng. The young ladies looked at Bai Tingfeng admiring his flawless look. Even though Bai Tingfeng had stayed in the military from a young age, his look was still like a young master who stayed in the Capital City. The young ladies would not help to admire Bai Xifeng.
Bai Xifeng also got a lot of attention from the young masters. However, she totally ignored that and focused on the food. When someone tried to talk to her, she would tell them that they could talk when she had finished eating. Some of the young masters were disappointed when they heard that kind of response.
Bai Xifeng rubbed her belly after she was full. Hmm... she was satisfied.
"Young Lady Bai."
Bai Xifeng heard someone calling for her. She turned around and saw a young man. She assumed it must be Wu Shunyuan’s son because he was pretty similar to Wu Shunyuan and younger than Wu Shunyuan.
"Yes?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.
The young man blushed and covered his face. Bai Xifeng was kind of speechless right now. This young man’s reaction was more like a young girl who had a young man who she had feeling with, suddenly talked to her.
"I am sorry. I am kind of nervous around a pretty lady like you." The young man said. He coughed twice to clear his throat. "Hello, my name is Wu Weiyuan. I am the mayor’s son. Nice to meet you, Young Lady Bai."
"Hmm... Nice to meet you. My guess is correct, then." Bai Xifeng said.
"Guess?" Wu Weiyun was confused.
"Hmm... I guess you are Mayor Wu’s son since you look similar to your father." Bai Xifeng said.
"Oh... I see. Hmm... We are indeed similar." Wu Weiyuan scratched his head.
"So, why are you reaching out to me?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Oh, yes. I heard that you are going to the military camp with your father and brother." Wu Weiyuan stated.
"Indeed, that is the plan." Bai Xifeng nodded.
"Are you not afraid of the enemy intruding?" Wu Weiyuan asked.
"It is fine. It is not the first time I have stayed at the military camp." Bai Xifeng smiled.
"You meant you stayed in the military camp before? For how long?" Wu Weiyuan was surprised when he heard this.
"Hmm... Last time, I think I stayed there for about half a year. Yes... Half a year." Bai Xifeng confirmed the fact.
