Bai Xiaofeng As soon as he walked to the door of the courtyard, the tip of his nose suddenly wrinkled slightly.
"Hmm? This fragrance?"
Cold as frost, as elegant as snow, this is the unique aura of his fifth sister Bai Qingshuang!
His heart skipped a beat, his steps suddenly stopped, and he glanced suspiciously into the courtyard, only to see Jiang Donghua sitting leisurely at the stone table sipping tea, but Bai Qingshuang's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Fifth sister has been here? What is she here for?!"
Bai Xiaofeng's face changed slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
He quickly walked into the courtyard, suppressed his emotions, and asked pretending to be relaxed.
"Master Jiang, was my fifth sister here just now?"
Jiang Donghua raised his eyes and glanced at him, then nodded as usual.
"Well, Fifth Young Lady did come."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyelids jumped and he asked quickly.
"Did she promise you anything?"
Jiang Donghua Hearing this, he frowned and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He slowly put down the tea cup, his tone indifferent.
"Ninth Young Master, what do you mean?"
Bai Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Jiang Donghua snorted coldly, stood up, and stared at him sharply.
"Are you questioning whether this master will help you?"
"We agreed to cooperate, but you doubt me?"
Jiang Donghua had a hint of sullenness in his tone, as if he had been greatly insulted. He even flicked his sleeves and turned away, as if he had disappointed me so much.
Bai Xiaofeng suddenly panicked and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"No, no, no! Master Jiang misunderstood! How dare I question you? It's just that the fifth sister has always been thoughtful."
Jiang Donghua snorted coldly and interrupted him.
"What are you afraid of? Afraid that she can make me break my promise with just a few words?"
He turned around with blazing eyes and a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Ninth Young Master, since I, Jiang Donghua, promised to help you, I will never break my promise! If you can't trust me, you can leave now with these medicinal materials!"
This genuine anger was so profoundly acted that it made Bai Xiaofeng stunned.
Bai Xiaofeng was immediately ashamed and apologized repeatedly.
"Master Jiang Calm down! I'm too worried! I have no doubt about your intentions. It's just that the fifth sister suddenly appeared."
Jiang Donghua Seeing his appearance, he smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still stern. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly relaxed his expression and sighed.
"That's all, Ninth Young Master is also concerned about chaos, I can understand."
Bai Xiaofeng felt like he was being pardoned and quickly apologized with a smile.
"Master Jiang You are magnanimous! I have prepared all the medicinal materials. Are you satisfied?"
Saying that, he quickly took it out from Storage Ring.
Jiang Donghua glanced at it and saw that the medicinal materials were of high quality and the quantity was exactly the same, so he reluctantly nodded.
"Well, Ninth Young Master does things neatly."
Bai Xiaofeng Seeing that his attitude softened, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately Master Jiang wasn't really angry, otherwise my Young City Lord dispute would have been over!"
How did he know that Jiang Donghua's anger just now was all staged for him!
Hong Ling stood aside, watching with cold eyes, and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
"Junior brother, with his acting skills, it would be really unfair not to join the theater troupe!"
Hong Yu and Biyao stood behind Bai Xiaofeng, their eyebrows lowered, seemingly respectful, but in fact, they had already seen Jiang Donghua's every move from the corner of their eyes.
"This Master Jiang looks really similar!"
They have been trained as Bai Xiaofeng's playthings since they were young. What they are best at is observing words and emotions and acting in every situation.
Jiang Donghua's pretending to be angry, his heartbroken tone, and even the details of the flick of his sleeves.
It's exactly the same as their usual performances when they coax Bai Xiaofeng!
Hong Yu pursed her lips and thought to herself.
"Isn't this master a peer?"
Biyao also glanced at Jiang Donghua quietly, with a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Sure enough, no one who can prosper in Heavenly Snake City has a simple role!"
However, even if they saw through Jiang Donghua's tricks, they would never dare to say a word.
"If you dare to expose it, Ninth Young Master will be the first to spare us!"
Bai Xiaofeng has a bad temper and hates others questioning his judgment.
If they dare to say that Jiang Donghua is acting, they may be smashed by his palm in the next second!
Thinking of this, Hong Yu and Biyao could only lower their heads silently, pretending to be obedient, but secretly praying in their hearts.
"I just hope that this Master Jiang is a truly capable alchemist and not a liar!"
Especially Hong Yu, he felt even more uneasy.
After all, she discovered Jiang Donghua first!
If Jiang Donghua is a liar in name only, wouldn't she Hong Yu become the sinner who lured the wolf into the house?
"It's over, it's over, Ninth Young Master, if you are cheated, you will definitely take it out on me later!"
Hong Yu The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His fingers unconsciously tightened the corners of his clothes, and there was even a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
Biyao noticed her uneasiness, quietly touched the back of her hand, and gave her a calm look.
Hong Yu took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
"At this point, we can only take one step at a time."
She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Donghua, muttering silently in her heart.
"Master, Master, you must make Fire Spirit Pill!"
"Otherwise, Biyao and I may have our lives tied up in it!"
In the dark corner, a vague shadow lurked silently, giving a clear view of everything happening in the courtyard.
It wasn't until Bai Xiaofeng left with the maids that the shadow quietly receded, traveling through the night like a ghost, and finally returned to Fifth Young Lady Bai Qingshuang's mansion.
In the courtyard, Bai Qingshuang was holding a jade pot, slowly watering an orchid. Her expression was indifferent, as if she was indifferent to everything in the world. Only the water drops flowing from her fingertips reflected the depth of her eyes.
"Miss, my subordinates have investigated clearly."
The shadow condensed in the dark, turning into a man covered in black robes, kneeling on one knee and reporting in a low voice,
Bai Qingshuang didn't even raise his head, and just said "hmm" softly.
The man in black robe immediately told what he saw and heard.
How angry Jiang Donghua was, how panicked Bai Xiaofeng was in apologizing, even the subtle expression changes of Hong Yu and Biyao were not missed.
After listening to the report, Bai Qingshuang paused slightly in watering the flowers and frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused.
"It's that easy to win over a Alchemy Master?"
She murmured in a low voice, with a hint of imperceptible annoyance in her tone.
"If I had known this, I should have struck first."
But soon, she regained her cool look and said calmly.
"Continue to observe secretly and don't alert others."
The man in black robe nodded respectfully.
"Yes."
Before he finished speaking, his body melted into the shadows like ink and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After he left, Bai Qingshuang put down the jade pot and walked slowly to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard. He tapped the stone table with his fingertips and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
"What is my dear brother planning?"
The corners of her lips raised slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"Or is he really about to break through to Dou Wang?"
The night wind blew by, fluttering her clothes and taking away her whispering voice.
Only the orchid, swaying gently in the moonlight, responded to her question.
