The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 872: Spend Her Points At The Cultivation Pagoda

"Call her." The emperor ordered.

"Okay." The eunuch rushed over and went to get the old maid.

The maid was scared when she was called and presented in front of the emperor. She knelt and bowed her face closer to the floor. She did not dare to face the emperor directly.

"Do you often give the third prince the food?" The emperor asked the old maid.

The maid was trembling. She did not know how to answer that. She was just pitying the child who had lost his mother.

"Speak up!" The emperor raised his voice.

"Your Majesty, I... I... just want to help His Highness.... He was often hungry. But it is only when he was up until 12 years old. Nothing more." The old maid said.

"Are you really telling the truth?" The emperor asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I don’t dare to lie to you." The old maid was still in the same position, answering the questions.

"Then, what happened after that?" The emperor asked.

"I don’t know." The old maid said.

"Do you know his hiding place?" The emperor asked.

He thought Liu Longwei was hiding somewhere in his courtyard.

"I don’t know." The old maid answered it.

"Someone, throw this maid into prison." The emperor shouted.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please spare me." The old maid lifted her face, facing the emperor.

The guards came over and dragged the old maid out of the room. The old maid was still screaming for the emperor to spare her. She did not know what she had done wrong. She answered all of the questions without lying.

The emperor knew that the old maid did not lie to him, but he was flustered and wanted an outlet to channel his anger. So, the old maid became his outlet.

"Your Majesty, should we order the guard to search the third prince?" The eunuch asked.

"No need. I believe he will appear himself later after feeling hungry." The emperor stated.

The emperor did not think that the foolish prince would be able to leave the palace that the guards had surrounded. The third prince must be hiding somewhere.

Liu Longwei frowned as he received the report stating that the emperor searched for him. Then, the frown increased as he heard the old maid who helped him in his younger age being pushed into prison after being called by the emperor. The emperor was probably angry when the old maid helped him. The emperor probably wanted him to die early.

"Go and see the old maid. Ask her if she wants to be saved. If she wants, take her out." Liu Longwei ordered his subordinate.

The subordinate nodded and disappeared.

Bai Xifeng went to the cultivation pagoda. The same person who guarded the cultivation pagoda when Bai Xifeng visited before was still here. The person smiled as he saw the beautiful student. He remembered this student because of her outstanding looks.

"Sir, I want to stay inside the pagoda for one hour." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Alright. Here you go. This is the token to enter the pagoda. You need to keep this token safe. You need to return the token. Otherwise, you will be fine for 10,000 points. You can enter it now." The person said.

’Yuck, the token is much more expensive than the fee itself.’ Bai Xifeng looked at the token.

"May I know why the fee is so expensive?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"The students often lost the token. Turned out they just put them somewhere else and forgot about that. And some of them take advantage by using the same token to enter the pagoda without paying the fee. If you lose the token, you will be banned from entering the pagoda unless you pay the fee." The person explained.

"Oh... I see... I will keep the token safe." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xifeng walked toward the cultivation pagoda. When she entered the pagoda, she could feel the density of the Qi in the air. No wonder a lot of students wanted to stay inside this pagoda. Well, Bai Xifeng was not that impressed. That was because she was used to this situation.

Her Mirror World had the same, wait, probably more dense than this pagoda. Well, she wanted to cultivate here to improve her cultivation rank and level, as well as she wanted to see her name on the list outside the pagoda. That way, she could enter the treasure room and see what was inside the room. Not to mention, she wanted the teacher to notice her so that she would be chosen for the competition.

She saw around and was confused. She did not see anything except white fog around. So, she tried to walk until she saw something. She was shocked to see a monster here.

The monster seemed to sense Bai Xifeng and pounced on her. She immediately avoided and attacked the monster. The monster was killed in one move. Right after that, another monster appeared. She killed the monster again. This situation had repeated too many times. It became clear that this pagoda trained the student through combat.

Bai Xifeng fought and killed a lot of monsters. She lost her sense of time until she heard something. A woman’s voice.

"Time is up. Get ready to get out."

Bai Xifeng heard the voice and her body felt light. Then, in a split second, she was out of the pagoda.
