The maid's name is Qing Yuan. She is wearing a dark green dress and has a graceful figure. There is a bit of coldness in her eyebrows, but when she looks at Bai Xiaofeng, she becomes soft and charming.
She is not an ordinary maid, but the escort maid that Bai Xiaofeng bought for a large amount of money at an underground auction a few days ago. Three-Star Battle Spirit is strong enough to walk sideways among Bai Xiaofeng's group of warblers.
Bai Xiaofeng held her waist, lifted her chin frivolously with his fingers, and said with a proud smile.
"Qing Yuan, tell me, is this young master very prosperous now?"
Qing Yuan raised her red lips slightly, a hint of unnoticeable meaning flashed in her eyes, and then said softly.
"Ninth Young Master is now the most popular person in Heavenly Snake City. Even Third Young Master and Fifth Young Lady are not as good as you."
"Hahaha!"
Bai Xiaofeng laughed and placed his palms on her waist.
"That's natural! With Master Jiang here, what do I want?"
Qing Yuan snuggled into his arms, gently drawing circles on his chest with her fingertips, and her tone was a bit tentative.
"But is that Master Jiang really worthy of your trust?"
Bai Xiaofeng smiled slightly and frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Qing Yuan blinked innocently.
"My servant just thinks that his speed of refining alchemy is too fast."
"Quick? That's Master Jiang's ability! Others won't envy you!"
Bai Xiaofeng sneered.
Qing Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't know that Qing Yuan was actually a chess piece placed by Bai Qingshuang beside him.
Fifth Young Lady Bai Qingshuang had long noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Donghua, but she did not act rashly.
Instead, he chose to let Qing Yuan lurk next to Bai Xiaofeng, waiting for opportunities.
Hong Yu and Biyao stood in the corner of the courtyard, looking far in the direction of Bai Xiaofeng's dormitory, listening to the bursts of laughter and gasping coming from inside, they looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.
"This new woman is really awesome!"
Hong Yu bit his lip, his tone was sour, but he didn't dare to say any more.
Biyao sighed and said in a low voice.
"Forget it, let's not bring trouble to ourselves. That's Three-Star Battle Spirit. If we really make her unhappy, she can kill us with just one slap."
Hong Yu clenched his sleeves tightly, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but in the end he let go in despair.
The difference in strength is too big.
The two of them are just playthings. With Bai Xiaofeng, they could have gained some favor by relying on their beauty and cleverness.
But since Qing Yuan came, Bai Xiaofeng almost regarded them as nothing.
"Oh, man."
Hong Yu smiled to himself.
"With a stronger one, who will remember the old one?"
Biyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said.
"What is the origin of this Qing Yuan?"
Hong Yu shook his head.
"Who knows? Anyway, she is not an ordinary maid. Ninth Young Master obeys her words and even lets her interfere in Master Jiang's affairs!"
In the hall, Bai Xiaofeng's clothes were half-uncovered and he was leaning lazily on the soft couch. Qing Yuan was on his waist, her fingertips lightly brushed across his chest, her red lips were slightly hooked, and her eyes were as charming as silk.
"Ninth Young Master, you are really energetic~"
She smiled sweetly, her tone sweet but also a little tentative.
Bai Xiaofeng smiled proudly and placed his palms on her waist.
"That's natural! With Master Jiang here, what do I want?"
Qing Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"But Master Jiang is so crazy about refining the elixir, shouldn't there be any problem?"
Bai Xiaofeng frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Qing Yuan blinked innocently.
"I just think that the speed of his elixir refining is too fast. Besides, is the elixir he refined really okay?"
Bai Xiaofeng's face darkened, but he quickly sneered again.
"What do you know? How can you guess Master Jiang's ability?"
"Why do you always doubt Master Jiang?"
Qing Yuan There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he still had a sweet smile on his face.
"This slave is too talkative~"
She said no more, just leaned forward and kissed his lips, her fingertips quietly slid to the back of his neck, and a ray of dark energy penetrated silently.
In the courtyard, Hong Yu and Biyao stood under the corridor, listening to bursts of laughter coming from the dormitory, both of their pretty faces were covered with a layer of gloom.
"Sister, we have to plan for ourselves."
Biyao gently tugged on Hong Yu's sleeves and kept his voice very low.
Hong Yu bit his red lips, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, we are just Ninth Young Master's playthings. Now that we have a new love, we are not even playthings."
The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
In this Bai Clan, where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, they know very well what will happen to the maid who loses her backer.
"I heard that Master Jiang has been in the limelight recently and even Ninth Young Master wants to act based on his face."
Biyao rolled his eyes.
Hong Yu's eyes lit up.
"What do you mean?"
"If you can climb the high branch of Master Jiang!"
Biyao smiled meaningfully.
Hong Yu frowned.
"But that Master Jiang spends all day in seclusion refining elixirs, and even Ninth Young Master is rarely seen?"
The two couldn't help but whisper, and finally the two women came to a conclusion.
Whose cat doesn't steal fish?
Jiang Donghua finally stopped frantically refining alchemy for more than ten consecutive days. His whole body was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed for too long. Although the sharp edge was strong, it was showing fatigue. He pushed open the stone door of the secret room, his steps were slightly frivolous, and the bloodshot eyes under his eyes showed the overdraft of his mental power.
Hong Ling crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, his red lips slightly raised, and his tone of voice was lazy with a hint of anger.
"Hey, are you finally willing to stop? I thought you were going to turn yourself into medicine dregs."
Jiang Donghua glanced at her, didn't answer, walked straight to the stone bed in the corner of the secret room, and lay down heavily.
"Tsk, why are you working so hard?"
Hong Ling curled his lips, but still stepped closer and looked at his tired face condescendingly.
Jiang Donghua closed his eyes and his voice was low.
"If you don't fight hard, how can you let that idiot take the bait?"
Hong Ling hummed softly, and a ray of silver-white lightning condensed on his fingertips. With a flick, the lightning turned into a small electric current, which traveled near Jiang Donghua's temples, helping him relieve fatigue.
"You are very calculating, but don't let yourself get involved."
Jiang Donghua The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, but he did not refute.
Hong Ling stared at his side face and sighed in his heart, this guy is becoming increasingly difficult to see through.
These days, she witnessed Jiang Donghua's terrifying alchemy success rate. Ten furnaces of elixirs yielded seven elixirs, five of which were top-grade!
Such a talent is top-notch in the entire Black Corner Region!
Hong Ling's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the desire to conquer in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"Such a man must be mine!"
She is not a believer. Once she has fallen in love with someone, she will never let him go easily.
Thinking of this, she leaned down, put her red lips close to Jiang Donghua's ear, and exhaled like a blue.
"Junior brother, if you work so hard, senior sister will feel sorry for you~"
Jiang Donghua still had his eyes closed, but the smile on his lips became deeper.
"Sister, if you feel distressed, why don't you rub your shoulders for me?"
Hong Ling hummed softly, but actually stretched out his hand to press his shoulders, with lightning flowing from his fingertips, helping him relax his tight muscles.
"Huh, I'm giving you an advantage."
Jiang Donghua didn't open his eyes, but his heart was clear with Hong Ling's intentions. How could he not know?
However, he didn't hate this feeling.
Bai Clan Deep in the mansion, in a quiet attic.
Bai Qingshuang was wearing a plain white dress and tapped her fingertips on the table. A rare smile appeared on her brows. She raised her eyes and looked at the third brother Bai Wuchen opposite. Her voice was cold with a hint of amusement.
"Third brother, it seems that our guess is correct. That Master Jiang is still a human being after all, not a monster."
Bai Wuchen sneered, closed the folding fan in his hand with a "swish", and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, even Fifth-grade Alchemist was mentally exhausted after frantically refining elixirs for ten consecutive days! He finally stopped today, which shows that his limit is right here!"
Bai Qingshuang nodded slightly, pointing his fingertips at the edge of the teacup, thoughtfully.
"Qing Yuan has already tested Ninth Brother. His trust in Master Jiang is almost blind, but this is actually better."
Bai Wuchen narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
"What does Fifth Sister mean?"
Bai Qingshuang The corners of his lips raised slightly, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.
"Since he believes in Master Jiang so much, let's let him see with his own eyes how unreliable the backer he relies on is!"
Bai Wuchen snorted coldly, stood up, and walked around with his hands behind his hands.
"Recently, many of our people have begun to waver, and some even secretly try to curry favor with Lao Jiu!"
Bai Qingshuang's eyes turned cold, his fingertips exerted slight force, and the tea cup cracked with a crack.
"One Fire Spirit Pill can make Dou Ling strong people flock to it. Haha, how ironic."
Bai Wuchen's eyes became increasingly murderous.
"We can't delay it any longer. Jiang Donghua must be solved as soon as possible! Otherwise, in a few days, even our confidants may turn against us!"
Bai Qingshuang pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"Third brother, since we have the same goal, why not join forces?"
Bai Wuchen paused in his steps, looked sideways at her, and a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's rare for Fifth Sister to take the initiative to cooperate."
Bai Qingshuang chuckled, his tone calm but with a hidden edge.
"With current interests, why bother dwelling on past grudges? Deal with the ninth brother first, and then talk about anything else."
Bai Wuchen was silent for a moment, then laughed.
"Okay! Then let's join forces and make Lao Jiu's Master Jiang completely disappear first!"
The alliance between Bai Qingshuang and Bai Wuchen has just been finalized, but there is always a sense of uneasiness lingering in their hearts.
"Brother, it's too quiet over there."
Bai Qingshuang tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, frowning slightly.
Bai Wuchen snorted coldly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Bai Wuya has always been unfathomable. In the past ten days, the ninth brother has made such a big noise, but he has no reaction at all?"
Bai Qingshuang thought for a moment and whispered.
"Is he really in seclusion and attacking Dou Wang?"
Bai Wuchen shook his head, his eyes gloomy.
"Impossible! Even if he attacks Dou Wang, it's impossible for him to know nothing about the outside world! What's more, with his character, he will never allow his ninth brother to grow in power like this!"
The two looked at each other and saw deep fear in each other's eyes.
Bai Wuya, what are you planning?
In a dark stone room, Bai Wuya was sitting cross-legged, his whole body Dou Qi was as deep as the sea, and there was a faint potential for breakthrough.
However, his eyes were always open, with a cold and deep light shining in them.
"Ninth brother, Jiang Donghua, ha."
He slowly raised his hand, and a dark jade slip appeared in his palm. Strange runes were engraved on the jade slip, and blood was faintly flowing.
"You think I did nothing?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he tapped his fingertips, and a hoarse voice came from the jade slip.
"Eldest Young Master, everything is ready."
Bai Wuya spoke lightly.
"Keep watching, let them fight first, and then close the net when the time is right."
The jade slip flashed with light, then fell silent.
Bai Wuya Slowly closed his eyes, and Dou Qi surged around his body again, as if nothing just happened.
He is not ignorant, but is waiting for the most suitable time to suppress all competitors in one fell swoop!
Bai Qingshuang and Bai Wuchen failed to guess the big brother's intention after all, and in the end they could only come to one conclusion.
"Perhaps, big brother is really trying his best to break through Dou Wang!"
Bai Wuchen gritted his teeth and said.
Bai Qingshuang's eyes flashed and he whispered.
"If he really succeeds, we brothers and sisters may never be able to turn around again!"
Bai Wuchen's eyes flashed coldly.
"So, we must deal with Ninth Brother and Jiang Donghua before he comes out of seclusion! Otherwise, we won't even be qualified to compete!"
Bai Qingshuang nodded slowly and tightened his fingertips slightly.
"In that case, let's do it as soon as possible!"
Bai Qingshuang tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his brows furrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Killing Ninth Brother directly is too risky."
She whispered, with a hint of unwillingness in her tone.
Bai Wuchen snorted coldly, closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Although my father has been in seclusion for many years, if my ninth brother suddenly dies suddenly, he will definitely come out and conduct a thorough investigation! By then, none of us will be able to escape!"
Bai Qingshuang was silent for a moment, her red lips slightly opened, and her voice was cold.
"But if we don't take action and let Ninth Brother continue to grow, we will be stepped on by him sooner or later!"
The two looked at each other and saw deep fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Bai Wuchen stood up, paced with his hands behind his hands, his tone was gloomy.
"Since we can't kill Ninth Brother, let's get rid of Jiang Donghua first! Without the support of the alchemist, Ninth Brother's power will naturally fall apart!"
Bai Qingshuang sneered and gently touched the edge of the teacup with his fingertips.
"Third brother, you think too simply."
Bai Wuchen frowned.
"What?"
Bai Qingshuang raised his eyes, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
"Then Jiang Donghua has never stepped out of the secret room since he entered the ninth brother's mansion! Our people can't find a chance to take action!"
Bai Wuchen's face darkened and he gritted his teeth.
"Are we just going to let him continue to refine elixirs so that the Ninth Brother's power becomes stronger and stronger?"
Bai Qingshuang's eyes flashed slightly and he whispered.
"Maybe we can dismantle them from within."
Bai Qingshuang With a slight stroke of her fingertips, a sound transmission jade slip appeared in her palm, and she whispered.
"Qing Yuan has successfully approached Ninth Brother and can even influence his decision-making."
Bai Wuchen A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You mean to ask Qing Yuan to sow discord between Ninth Brother and Jiang Donghua?"
Bai Qingshuang The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his tone was cold.
"Yes, as long as the ninth brother is suspicious of Jiang Donghua, or even takes the initiative to alienate him, our chance will come."
Bai Wuchen pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
"This is a way, but Jiang Donghua is as cunning as a fox, so he may not be fooled."
Bai Qingshuang sneered.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, especially those who are arrogant and arrogant like Ninth Brother. With a little guidance, he will naturally fall into a trap!"
While the two were discussing, a confidant walked in quickly and reported in a low voice.
"Fifth Young Lady, Third Young Master, we just received news that the maids Hong Yu and Biyao around Ninth Young Master seem to be interested in approaching Jiang Donghua!"
Bai Qingshuang's eyes narrowed, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? Those two little girls do have some thoughts."
Bai Wuchen snorted coldly.
"It's just two ants, what kind of trouble can they cause?"
Bai Qingshuang chuckled lightly and tapped his fingertips on the table.
"Third brother, sometimes ants can be the straw that breaks the camel's back."
She looked at her confidant and ordered coldly.
"Keep an eye on them and push them if necessary."
Bai Xiaofeng was leaning lazily on the soft couch, tapping the armrest with his fingers, frowning slightly, obviously thinking about something.
"Tsk, Master Jiang has a rare rest today. I have to take him out for a walk tomorrow. But this guy looks so stoic and doesn't even look at women. Where should I take him?"
He turned to look at Qing Yuan beside him, with a bit of irritation and helplessness in his eyes.
"Qing Yuan, tell me, what would a person like Master Jiang like?"
Qing Yuan's red lips were slightly raised, and an imperceptible coldness flashed through her eyes, but it soon turned into a soft smile, she leaned forward gently and spoke softly.
"Ninth Young Master Why worry? Since Master Jiang is an alchemist, he is naturally interested in rare medicinal materials and ancient elixirs. Why not take him to Myriad Medicine City to have a look? I heard that a new batch of rare goods have arrived recently~"
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh suddenly.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"
He laughed and pinched Qing Yuan's cheek, saying proudly.
"You are still smart! Then Myriad Medicine City is Black Corner Region's largest medicinal material trading place. Master Jiang will be happy to see you!"
Qing Yuan lowered his eyebrows to please his eyes, but a sneer quietly curled up at the corner of his lips.
The opportunity has come!
In the dead of night, Qing Yuan tapped his fingertips, and a secret communication talisman flew out quietly and fell into the hands of Bai Qingshuang.
"Tomorrow, Bai Xiaofeng will take Jiang Donghua to Myriad Medicine City."
Bai Qingshuang's eyes turned cold, and a wisp of fire ignited at his fingertips, burning the communication talisman.
"Myriad Medicine City, oh, God is really helping me!"
She turned around to look at a figure in the shadows and gave cold instructions.
"Inform third brother that we will proceed as planned tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xiaofeng got up early and excitedly took several guards to wait for Jiang Donghua outside the secret room.
Jiang Donghua pushed open the door and walked out, his expression still indifferent, but his eyes were no longer tired.
Bai Xiaofeng greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Master Jiang, it's rare to have a rest today, why don't you go for a walk with me? I'll take you to an interesting place!"
Jiang Donghua glanced at him lightly, half smiling.
"Oh? Where are Ninth Young Master taking me?"
Bai Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously.
"Myriad Medicine City! I heard that a new batch of rare medicinal materials have recently arrived, and there is even Ancient Pill Recipe Fragment. You will definitely be interested!"
Jiang Donghua's eyes moved slightly, he pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly.
"That's fine."
Bai Xiaofeng was overjoyed and quickly ordered his servants to prepare the car, thinking to himself.
"Master Jiang will definitely be more satisfied with me now!"
