The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 148: Tell Young Master Shen About That

After breakfast, Bai Xifeng went to Ren Liqiu’s courtyard. Ren Liqiu already looked better. She was no longer pale.

Ren Liqiu greeted Bai Xifeng with a smile. "Young Master Long."

"How do you feel today?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Hmm... I feel great." Ren Liqiu said.

If not because of the wound on her feet, she might have already gotten out of bed and walked around.

"Great." Bai Xifeng said. "I will check the wound on your feet."

Bai Xifeng sat on the edge of the bed and checked Ren Liqiu’s feet. She opened up the bandage. The wound was healing nicely. She began to take out the snitches from the wound.

"You need to wait about one week until the wound completely healed. After that, you can walk as much as you want." Bai Xifeng said.

"Thank you, Young Master Long." Ren Liqiu said.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng looked around.

"What are you looking for, Young Master Long?" Ren Liqiu seemed to realize that Bai Xifeng was looking for something.

"Hmm... Where is your husband?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Oh... He is... Speaking of the devil, here he comes." Ren Liqiu spotted her husband at the door.

"Dear, Young Master Long is looking for you." Ren Liqiu informed Shen Shoushan who just came in.

"What is it, Sir Long? Is it about my wife?" Shen Shoushan turned to look at Bai Xifeng in a hurry.

"Well, this might concern your wife too." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Well, the person wanted to know about Ren Liqiu. So, it was indeed about Ren Liqiu.

"What is going on with my wife? Is the thing coming back?" Shen Shoushan remembered the creature that had been feasting inside his wife’s body.

"No... No... Your wife’s body is fine. Nothing’s wrong with her." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

"Then, what is it?" Shen Shoushan asked.

"Yesterday, I met with someone who had been hired by someone who wanted to know about your wife’s condition." Bai Xifeng smiled at Shen Shoushan.

Shen Shoushan’s face changed. He frowned. "Is that person threatened you, Sir Long?"

"They sure did." Bai Xifeng nodded. "But, you don’t need to worry. As a doctor, I will never reveal the information about my patient to anyone, especially in a situation like this where it would invite problems for me and the patient."

"Thank you so much, Sir Long." Shen Shoushan bowed to Bai Xifeng.

"It is nothing. But after talking to the thugs, I found out something interesting." Bai Xifeng said.

"Something interesting?" Shen Shoushan was curious.

"Hmm... They told me that it was a woman who hired them to get information about Ren Liqiu. They always told him that they saw the handkerchief that the woman used. It had the word ’Mo’ written on the handkerchief." Bai Xifeng revealed that.

Hearing that, Shen Shoushan became angry. "That woman!"

Ren Liqiu was surprised by the sudden angry that Shen Shoushan showed to her.

"What is going on here? Who is the woman that wants my information?" Ren Liqiu asked.

Mo Shuang came over after Ren Liqiu fell into a coma. So, it was not a surprise that Ren Liqiu had no idea about Mo Shuang.

"Well..." Shen Shoushan hesitated to tell Ren Liqiu about Mo Shuang.

"Young Master Shen, you should tell your wife about that. She will protect herself from that woman if she knows the woman could harm her." Bai Xifeng gave a piece of advice to Shen Shoushan.

"Hmm... I guess you are right." Shen Shoushan thought about that.

...

Mo Shuang sneaked out again after breakfast. She went to the same place where she hired the people yesterday. When Mo Shuang entered the place, the men inside the place recognized her.

The men stood up and surrounded her. They were very angry with this woman. Because of her, they had endured laying down on the ground for about 5 hours. One of them had been holding too long that he ended up taking a dump while still laying down. Another one had to pee and lay down in his pee.

"You bitch! Because of you, we had been humiliated." The man shouted.

"What is your attitude?" Mo Shuang was not afraid of the men since she was stronger than them.

The men wanted to punch Mo Shuang to relieve their anger but someone came and stopped them.

"Stop." The middle aged man came over.

"Sir." The men bowed.

He was their boss. They did not dare to fight back.

"Miss... I am sorry for my men’s behaviour." The middle aged man said.

"What is about the quest? Do you get what I want?" Mo Shuang asked.

"I am sorry to disappoint you, Miss. But, the quest failed." The middle aged man said.

"What? I thought you guys were good at this kind of thing. That is why I hired you guys." Mo Shuang stated and frowned at the result.

"Miss, you told us that they were weak. Probably a low-rank Gathering Qi realm. But it was not the case when my people fought them. If we know that they are stronger, I can send stronger people to confront them." The middle aged man stated.

He was blaming Mo Shuang for not telling the truth. Otherwise, his men would never fail.

Mo Shuang looked at the middle aged man. ’Strong?’ She doubted about that. She did not see that in Bai Xifeng. Maybe the men were talking about Yu Nianzu who accompanied Bai Xifeng at that time.

"The quest has failed. You don’t need to pay the remaining balance. However, as for the money that you paid us yesterday will not be returned since it will be used to compensate us. Do you have any trouble with that?"

"So, do you tell them about me?" Mo Shuang asked.

The men looked at each other.

"We had been forced. Otherwise, we will be killed." The men said.

They still remembered the look on that young man’s face. It was dead seriously even though he was smiling at that time. That made him more scary.

"What did you tell them?" Mo Shuang asked. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"We just told them that you are a woman. That’s all." The man said.

They forgot the details about the handkerchief.

Hearing that, Mo Shuang smiled. With that little information, they would not be able to find out who the person was. There was nothing that she could do here. So, she decided to leave.

"I am leaving." Mo Shuang stood up and left.

The men gritted their teeth. They were angry because they could not vent their anger to the culprit.

"What? Do you want to get beat?" The middle aged man asked.

"No, Sir." The men shook their heads.

"You can not beat her. She would beat you up." The middle aged man said.

"What?" The men were shocked.

"She is stronger than you. She could easily beat you up. That’s so sure." The middle aged man said.

He could see the woman’s rank.

Mo Shuang returned to Shen Manor. When she stepped into the manor, a servant stopped her.

"Miss Mo, Master Shen wants to meet you." A servant told Mo Shuang.

"Why? Does my uncle tell you why?" Mo Shuang asked.

"I don’t know, Miss Mo. Master Shen just told me to tell you to go to the main hall." The servant stated.

"Okay, thank you." Mo Shuang nodded.

So, she walked to her courtyard first to have her clothes changed because when she was on the way returning, someone collided with her and soy sauce fell onto her clothes. She was furious but she could not show her anger to the public. The person also apologized to her right now.

After changing the clothes, Mo Shuang went to the main hall. She wondered why Master Shen suddenly wanted to see her. Master did not really talk to her. Only Madam Shen liked to talk to her. It was probably Madam Shen was her blood relative.

The servants opened the door to Mo Shuang. Mo Shuang entered the main hall. She was shocked when she saw who was inside.

...

Bai Xifeng yawned. She was napping after going to check on Ren Liqiu.

"You are so lazy these days," Baishe commented.

"Hey, I practice my cultivation, okay?" Bai Xifeng said.

"You should practice your pharmacist’s skill," Baishe stated.

"Why?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"You can not advance to the next rank because the poison could it. You need to cure the poison first." Baishe stated.
