Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Their First Time Going To The Banquet
"Donât worry. I will protect you guys when anything happens to you." Bai Xifeng patted Yu Xiaohuiâs shoulder.
"Master, your disguiseâs technique became much more flawless. If I didnât know about it before, I might think you are a man." Yu Xiaoqing said.
"Right... I am perfecting my disguise. Well, my contracted beast also helped me." Bai Xifeng grinned. She suddenly remembered something. "Speaking about contracted beasts, how is your contracted beast? Is it doing fine?"
"Of course." Yu Xiaoqing nodded.
She summoned the Skyroaming Roc. It was not in its usual size but a smaller version. The Skyroaming Roc flew around a few times before landing on Yu Xiaoqingâs shoulder. Then, it looked at Bai Xifeng and bowed down.
Bai Xifeng was surprised. She tilted her head. "Why is it bowing its head to me?"
Yu Xiaoqing and Yu Xiaohui also looked puzzled. The Skyroaming Roc never bowed its head to anyone. It also did not bow to Yu Xiaoqing. So, did it suddenly bow to Bai Xifeng?
"Why donât you ask it?" Yu Xiaohui stated.
"Oh... Yeah. Totally forget about that." Yu Xiaoqing grinned.
She turned to the Skyroaming Roc, speaking with the bird. Yu Xiaoqing was surprised for a moment and nodded.
"What did it say?" Yu Xiaohui asked.
"Master, do you make a contract with a phoenix?" Yu Xiaoqing asked.
Bai Xifeng thought about that and remembered something. "Oh... That..."
"Master, are you really contracting a phoenix?" Yu Xiaoqing was surprised.
"Yeah... But it is still an egg." Bai Xifeng said.
Yu Xiaoqing seemed to talk to the Skyroaming Roc again.
"Master, even though it is an egg, it was still the king of all birds." Yu Xiaoqing stated.
"Master, I hear the rumour about many clans and sects rushing to Sophia Mountain after hearing about the phoenixâs egg appearance. Was it you who took the egg?" Yu Xiaohui asked.
"Well, I think so." Bai Xifeng scratched her neck while grinning.
"Wow... Master, I heard many people fought and got injured because of that egg." Yu Xiaoqing felt her masterâs luck was really something else.
"Hmm... Indeed, my luck at that time was really good." Bai Xifeng nodded.
"Master, you say you are going to stop by the teahouse. It is going to be late if you stay here any longer." Yu Xiaohui reminded Bai Xifeng.
"Oh, yes. I need to go then. Remember to close the store on that day." Bai Xifeng stood up and walked out of the room.
Yu Xiaohui and Yu Xiaoqing watched Bai Xifeng. When Bai Xifeng passed the counter, Fu Daiyu had just finished handling the customer.
"Auntie Fu, see you again." Bai Xifeng waved her hand and stormed out.
Fu Daiyu looked at the retreating figure. She still could not wrap his mind that Bai Xifeng was a girl. She was at least a young, yet cheerful boy. That was what she thought. She had to talk about this with her husband.
"Auntie Fu, we are going to close the store this weekend." Yu Xiaohui said.
"Why?" Fu Daiyu was confused.
"We are going to a banquet this weekend." Yu Xiaoqing stated.
"Banquet? What banquet?" Fu Daiyu did not know much about that.
Fu Daiyu was a commoner. That was the same for her husband. So, they had never attended any banquet before. Well, it was the same as the Yu Siblings. It was also their first time attending a banquet.
"The banquet at General Baiâs Residence." Yu Xiaoqing stated.
"We are being invited?" Fu Daiyu was surprised.
"Yes. The banquet is held to celebrate our Master. Master invites us." Yu Xiaoqing stated.
"Is it okay for us to go to that kind of banquet?" Fu Daiyu could not help but ask.
"Master has already invited us. We should go." Yu Xiaohui nodded.
"You donât have to worry about going alone. All of the employees who worked under Master are invited. So, there are a lot of people like this. They are going to attend the banquet too." Yu Xiaoqing stated.
Bai Xifeng moved to the teahouse. This place was always packed with customers. The atmosphere was so lively. People were eating, chatting and drinking.
Bai Xifeng entered the teahouse and saw no empty tables. She nodded, satisfied.
"Welcome to La Chaguan Teahouse. Are you alone or with companions?" The waiter asked.
"I am alone." Bai Xifeng answered.
"We donât have any available tables right now. If you donât mind, you can sit by the counter. Or you can choose to sit in our private rooms. And only one left at the moment." The waiter gave some suggestions.
"I will sit at the counter." Bai Xifeng said.
"Alright. This way." The waiter gestured for Bai Xifeng to follow him.
Tian Ning, who had just finished her performance, saw Bai Xifeng. Some people tried to call her to talk to her, but Tian Ning ignored them and walked toward Bai Xifeng.
"Master." Tian Ning called out for Bai Xifeng.
Bai Xifeng turned and saw Tian Ning. He immediately signed. The people who wanted to talk with Tian Ning earlier frowned as they saw Tian Ningâs treatment of this young man.
"Great. I plan to see one of you." Bai Xifeng said.
"Letâs go to the back." Tian Ning said.
"Hang on right now." One of the men stopped Tian Ning and Bai Xifeng, who were about to leave.
"What is it?" Tian Ning asked in a gentle tone.
