Hearing that, the crowd was stunned. This girl was so domineering. She dared to talk with Chatelain Chu in this way and also injure Chu Lian’er’s right hand seriously.

The man wearing the black cloak was also taken aback and a bit touched. He finally looked up at the girl who defended him wholeheartedly. What a beautiful girl! Her beauty was no worse than that of the female elves. Such a girl shouldn’t be fascinated by his appearance. Did she buy him for…

“You…” Chu Xiaoran was rendered speechless out of anger. As he waved his right hand, the two guards behind him went forward at once.

Upon seeing the scene, Phoenix Five behind Duanmu Xi immediately stood before her and drew out the sword. Instantly, the dark cyan mysterious power flickered, partly hidden and partly visible. Over the past three years, Phoenix Five had been promoted to the peak of Mysterious Lord from the medium Mysterious Lord.

All the people were frightened. This girl was young but she was a Mysterious Knight of the peak level. Unexpectedly, her guard was even more capable, who was a Mysterious Lord of the peak level. Since such a master was only her guard, the identity of the girl in white couldn’t be simple.

While they were at loggerheads, Feng Xifan heard of the chaos and then rushed here. He squeezed through the crowd, came to Duanmu Xi directly, and sized up Duanmu Xi anxiously for fear that she would get injured, “Miss, are you okay?”

Duanmu Xi took a cold glance at Feng Xifan and said coldly, “This is how you treat your clients?”

Feng Xifan was panicked and sweated, saying apologetically, “Miss, please don’t be mad. It’s our fault. I’ll have you escorted back to your place.”

The crowd saw Feng Xifan was so respectful to Duanmu Xi and couldn’t help starting to guess the identity of Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took a cold glance over the onlookers and flicked her sleeves, “No need. Let’s go.”

After saying that, she took Phoenix Five and the male elf downstairs decisively.

“Feng Xifan, are you blind? The wretched girl injured the right hand of your fiancee and you still want to have her escorted back to her place. Do you still care about me?” Seeing Duanmu Xi left with the male elf, Chu Lian’er got anxious, raised the uninjured left hand and pointed at Feng Xifan.

Hearing that, Feng Xifan and Chu Xiaoran both frowned and said nothing.

Hua Xian’er blew her left fingernails gloatingly, “Some horny woman’s right hand was seriously injured because she dared to lay a finger on the male elf. Now, she recalls she has a fiance. Shame on her.”

Her words were greeted by hoots of laughter. Chu Xiaoran blushed and wanted to refute but he found her words somewhat reasonable.

Chu Lian’er got hot under the collar, “Hua Xian’er, stay out of this. Get lost.”

“Humph! Someone has started to put on airs before being the young mistress of Myriad Treasure Pavilion. Young Master Feng hasn’t said anything yet. On what ground can you ask me to get lost?” Humph. How dared Chu Lian’er vented her anger on her? Did Chu Lian’er really think she was a pushover?

Without looking at Chu Lian’er, Feng Xifan directly walked to Chu Xiaoran and said with clasped hands, “Chatelain Chu, that girl is the distinguished client of Myriad Treasure Pavilion. I hope that you and your sister won’t make trouble for her in the future.”

Chu Xiaoran was mad about Chu Lian’er’s caprice but even angrier about Feng Xifan’s attitude, “Young Master Feng, that girl injured Lian’er’s right hand seriously. Lian’er is your fiancee. You show no concern for her and even help the girl who has hurt her. You are so…”

“Chatelain Chu, given the friendship between your family and my family, here is the advice for you. Don’t mess with that girl, or you will regret it for sure. Besides, as to the marriage between the Feng Family and Chu Family, I think we may as well call it off. I’m really out of your sister’s league.”

Upon hearing that Feng Xifan wanted to break off the engagement, Chu Xiaoran was anxious and yet knew that they were in the wrong. He was about to persuade Feng Xifan when Chu Lian’er snorted, “Humph. Feng Xifan, you do know yourself well. Today, it is not that you dump me but I dump you.”

“Lian’er, you…” Chu Xiaoran lifted his hand in anger but seeing her miserable look, he put it down feebly.

“Thank you for dumping me then.” Feng Xifan’s voice was angry.

How could such a girl deserve to be the mistress of the Feng Family? Why would he find her forthright and sincere before? He must be blind.

“Young Master Feng…” Chu Xiaoran wanted to say something fretfully but he was interrupted by Feng Xifan.

“Chatelain Chu, in this case, I will ask the matchmaker to return the token to the Chu’s mansion tomorrow. And hopefully, you can return my family’s token to me.”

“Young Master Feng, you…”

“Humph. Who wants your token? I can return it to you now.” Chu Lian’er took a pendant out of her arms and threw it at Feng Xifan’s face.

Feng Xifan took the pendant and the blue veins stood out on his arms. The family pendant was almost crushed by him. This girl was so outrageous.

“Good. I don’t have the token of the Chu Family with me now. I will ask the matchmaker to return the token to the Chu’s mansion later,” after saying that, Feng Xifan also left with his guards.

Chu Xiaoran looked around feebly. Why didn’t they let him finish talking…

A farce came to an end. Everyone left Myriad Treasure Pavilion too. What happened today was too thrilling.

In Room Heaven No. 7 of Yunlai Inn.

“This is the medicine for you. You can leave after you recover.” Duanmu Xi took the healing elixirs refined by her out of the crystal ball and put them before the male elf.

The male elf was taken aback and then smiled quietly. His smile was so fascinating to Phoenix Five, which even stunned Duanmu Xi.

He felt slightly frustrated to only find appreciation but no fascination in Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes.

“Since you’ve bought me, you are my mistress then. I won’t leave.”

Duanmu Xi squinted her purple eyes and didn’t expect that he would say that, “You are not a human being. It is not appropriate for you to stay here.”

The male elf was dazed. She was right. Yet, the elves were always grateful. He couldn’t leave before he requited the favor.

After a while of silence, Duanmu Xi stood up and said to the male elf, “Regardless, stay here and rest in recuperation. My medicine can only heal your external injuries and I cannot do anything about the seal in your body.”

The male elf clenched his fists. If those people hadn’t sealed his power, how could he have been caught by them?

It could tell the ins and outs of the matter from the angry look of the male elf. Duanmu Xi turned around and said to Phoenix Five, “You stay here to protect…” She hedged and realized that she hadn’t known the male elf’s name.

Seeing Duanmu Xi turned around and looked at him, the male elf wore a smile, “Bai He, it is my name.”

“Protect Mr. Bai.”

Upon hearing that Duanmu Xi asked her to stay, Phoenix Five was a bit anxious, “Your Highness, I must protect you. As to Mr. Bai, I will arrange other phoenix guards to protect him.”

“This is an order.”

Her voice was still casual but Phoenix Five didn’t dare to say anything further. She could only say with a curtsy, “Yes.”

They didn’t know they had been overheard.

In Room Heaven No. 6 of Yunlai Inn, the man in red put on an intrigued smile. He thought that Duanmu Xi bought the elf because she fancied the handsome look of the elf but it turned out that she only wanted to let him go.

Meanwhile, the masters of the four families and the chatelain, Chu Xiaoran all received the reports of their hidden guards. They entered Yunlai Inn but only the girl in white came out alone. In the end, she went into Shengjin Academy.

Unexpectedly, the girl in white turned out to be a disciple of Shengjin Academy. They had stayed in Zhongzhou City for so long but they didn’t know of such a person in Shengjin Academy.

Chu Lian’er’s eyes glistened with resentment and fierceness. That girl turned out to be a disciple of Shengjin Academy. She wouldn’t let go of the girl for sure. She must seek revenge on the girl for destroying her hand.

Xue Jinshuo heard that the male elf was in Yunlai Inn and his lips curved into a sinister smile.

At midnight, in Wisteria Yard of Shengjin Academy, Duanmu Xi lay in the arhat bed without drowsiness.

Snow had left. So had her master. Phoenix Five was not here. She felt somewhat uncomfortable about living in the empty yard alone.

It had been half a month since Snow was away. Why hadn’t he come back? Did he encounter anything? Why didn’t he send a message to her?

“Your Highness.” When Duanmu Xi was about to fall asleep, Phoenix Five broke into the yard with a sorry look.

“Phoenix Five?” Hearing the shout, Duanmu Xi immediately became sober. Shouldn’t Phoenix Five be in Yunlai Inn? Did anything happen to Bai He?

“Your Highness, Xue Jinshuo has kidnapped Mr. Bai with his guards.” Phoenix Five half-knelt before Duanmu Xi and felt self-condemned. Her Highness handed over Mr. Bai to her but she failed to protect him well.

Xue Jinshuo? That sadistic homosexual?

“How long?” Duanmu Xi’s voice was slightly trembling. She didn’t dare to imagine how Bai He would be treated when he was at the hands of that pervert.

“For an hour.” Thinking of the sadist, Phoenix Five was also anxious. She was a woman who grew up in Zhuque Empire. In her eyes, men were weak and needed protection but now she had got a man into that kind of dangerous situation.

“There are so many of you. Why did you still fail to resist the Xue Family?” Duanmu Xi couldn’t figure out why. She knew Phoenix Five’s capability and the phoenix guards were not weak. Why could the Xue Family get their way so easily?

“We were too careless. They used Qi Dispersing Powder on us, making us unable to exert our mysterious Qi,” Phoenix Five said through gritted teeth. Xue Jinshuo was too contemptuous!

Qi Dispersing Powder? It could make the mysterious masters lose the mysterious Qi temporarily.

Duanmu Xi frowned, took the Alexipharmic Pills left by her master out of the storage ring and threw them at Phoenix Five, “These are Alexipharmic Pills. Distribute them to the other phoenix guards. I’m going to the Xue’s mansion to rescue Bai He.”

Then, with a bound, she disappeared into the darkness.

“Your Highness, the Xue’s mansion is in the south.” That was what Phoenix Five could say to Duanmu Xi before the latter disappeared.
