CHAPTER 748: CHAPTER 748: SET THE TIME TO DEPART

After eating, Bai Xifeng requested to see her father and brother. So, the maid led the way to them. They were talking to Wu Shunyuan and his men about Zhu Guan and others’ arrest, about how they would handle them. Since Bai Xifeng already gave them evidence of their crimes, Zhu Guan and his gang would face punishment.

Bai Xiang noticed his daughter and urged her to come and sit beside Bai Xifeng.

Thanks to Young Lady Bai, we have evidence of Zhu Guan’s crime." Wu Shunyuan announced.

Wu Shunyuan’s men turned to Bai Xifeng and thanked Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng just smiled.

"You can send the report to the court. They would determine Zhu Guan and his men’s punishment." Bai Xiang said. He then added. "You don’t need to worry if Zhu Guan knows someone from the court. Their positions could not outrank my position. I believe His Majesty will also punish Zhu Guan if he knows much about Zhu Guan’s making."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. By the way, if you don’t mind, may I know why you are here?" Wu Shunyuan asked.

He was curious from the beginning. He did not think it was the right time to ask about that before. Since everything had been put in its place, he took this chance to ask about that.

"We travel to reach Xianying City, where my troop has stationed." Bai Xiang said.

"If you travel from the Capital City, our town is not on the way." Wu Shunyuan stated.

"That is because we don’t use the normal route. We crossed Sophia Mountain." Bai Xiang stated.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"You cross the dangerous mountain? Well, looking at your strength, it would not be too dangerous for you." Wu Shunyuan nodded.

"Well, it is because my daughter wants to search for some ingredients." Bai Xiang said.

"Ingredients?" Wu Shunyuan was confused.

"My daughter is a pharmacist. So, she is looking for the ingredients for her elixir." Bai Xiang explained.

"Oh... Yes. I heard that your daughter managed to create a God Rank elixir." Wu Shunyuan stated.

Everyone looked at Bai Xifeng in admiration. Bai Xifeng felt slightly embarrassed.

"We are thinking of leaving the town tomorrow morning." Bai Xiang stated.

"Then, we will prepare a carriage for you." Wu Shunyuan said.

"No need for that. We prefer walking." Bai Xiang said.

"I see..." Wu Shunyuan understood.

"Well, I would like to borrow a carriage for today." Bai Xifeng raised her request.

"Young Lady Bai wants to borrow our carriage for today?" Wu Shunyuan asked.

"Hmm... I want to explore this town. If I find something interesting, I will buy it." Bai Xifeng stated.

"I see. I will ask someone to prepare a carriage and a coachman for you. Shihong, take notes on that." Wu Shunyuan stated.

"Yes, My lord." Jiang Shihong nodded.

"Tingfeng, accompany your sister." Bai Xiang said to Bai Tingfeng.

"Yes, Father." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

So, Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng went to explore the town. They could see that the people seemed to be a lot happier compared to the time when they first entered the town. It was probably that they had been threatened by Zhu Guan and his gang for a long time. They endured the suffering.

It proved to be the truth when they stopped for a quick break at the noodles stall. There were a few tables. They heard the people talking about Zhu Mansion. They saw Zhu Delai and others being restrained. Zhu Guan and others had been escorted out of the Zhu Mansion. At this moment, Zhu Mansion was confiscated. Not one allowed to enter Zhu Mansion. They were really happy that Zhu Guan had finally been caught.

"I heard the people whom Zhu Delai invited to their mansion earlier were the reason why Zhu Guan and his gang could be caught."

"Really? How do you know about that?"

"I have a friend who has been working with our mayor. He is the one who told me about this. He said Zhu Guan and his gang launched an attack last night. However, our Mayor already received a tip from someone telling him that Zhu Guan and his gang would attack the mayor. So, our mayor had made preparations. That led to the victory."

"The one who sent the tip to our mayor must be one of the three outsiders."

"That’s right. Anyways, thanks to them that we are finally free from Zhu Guan’s tyranny."

Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng smiled as they listened to the conversation. After eating, Bai Xifeng went to the shop. The first store, of course, is the herbs store. They were welcomed by an old man.

"What are you looking for?" The old man asked.

"Nothing in particular. I am looking around." Bai Xifeng said.

"Sure. If you want to ask me, just ask." The old man smiled.

Bai Xifeng looked around. It was nothing special until she spotted something at the corner. It was like it had been thrown out. Her eyes lifted up when she saw it. She looked at the item.

"Sir, how much is this?" Bai Xifeng pointed at the item.

The old man glanced over.

"That plant has wilted. You can not use it anymore. I just forgot to throw it away." The old man said.

"If I want it, can you sell it to me?" Bai Xifeng was excited.

"It has no value anymore. If you want it, you can just take it. I will not charge you any tael." The old man said.
