Bai Xiaofeng leaned lazily by the door of the palace, looking at Jiang Donghua with drunken eyes, with a somewhat cynical smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, Master Jiang, what's going on? Is it worth a trip in person in the middle of the night?"
He drawled his tone, his voice still hoarse with alcohol.
Jiang Donghua's eyes were cold and he was not angry because of his contemptuous attitude, he just said calmly.
"Something's wrong."
These two simple words carry an unquestionable meaning.
Bai Xiaofeng squinted his eyes, seeming to finally realize that Jiang Donghua's visit was not an ordinary one.
He clicked his tongue softly, and the Dou Qi in his body was quietly running. The red complexion caused by alcohol quickly faded away, and was replaced by a sober paleness.
He raised his hand to wipe away the remaining wine stains on his lips. His fingertips shook slightly, and the alcohol smell turned into a wisp of white mist and dissipated into the air.
"Huh--"
He took a long breath, shook his head, and finally regained some of his usual shrewdness.
"Master Jiang's late night visit must be no small matter."
Bai Xiaofeng stood up straight, and his tone became more serious, but there was still a trace of inquiry hidden in his eyes.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Donghua did not answer immediately, but turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Hong Yu and Biyao who were still standing aside.
Bai Xiaofeng looked along his line of sight, frowned, and waved his hand impatiently.
"What are you two doing here? Didn't you hear that Master Jiang and I have something serious to discuss?"
The two women trembled and quickly bowed their heads in response.
"Yes, Master."
Hong Yu glanced at Jiang Donghua secretly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but in the end he did not dare to say anything and pulled Biyao back quickly.
The footsteps of the two people gradually became distant and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
After they left, Bai Xiaofeng lazily stepped aside to make way for them and made a gesture of please.
"Master Jiang, come in and talk."
Jiang Donghua nodded slightly and stepped into the hall.
The strong aroma of wine and powder still lingers in the palace. The messy gauze curtains, scattered wine glasses, and the soft couch that have not been tidied up all indicate the absurd scene just now.
Bai Xiaofeng stared at Jiang Donghua's back, his eyes gradually darkened.
"Is it true that Jiang Donghua, as Ninth Elder Qin Wuye said, wants to betray Bai Clan and take refuge in the Medicine Family of Myriad Medicine City?"
The more he thought about it, the more possible it became.
After all, Myriad Medicine City is a holy place for alchemists, and Medicine Family is a family with profound heritage. Compared with Heavenly Snake City Bai Clan, it is indeed more suitable for the development of Alchemy Master like Jiang Donghua.
"Oh, if you can't get it, others can't get it either!"
A fierce look flashed in Bai Xiaofeng's eyes, and the fingers in his sleeves tightened slightly, a wisp of white Dou Qi quietly wrapped around his fingertips, ready to take action at any time.
However, just when his murderous intention was gradually rising, Jiang Donghua finally spoke.
"I want the two maids beside you."
Bai Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Huh?"
He didn't realize it for a moment. There were so many women around him, who knew which two Jiang Donghua was referring to?
"Master Jiang, your request is quite strange."
Bai Xiaofeng raised the corners of his mouth playfully.
"I have many maids around me. Which two are you interested in?"
Jiang Donghua looked unchanged and said calmly.
"Hong Yu and Biyao."
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and then remembered the two maids who had just led the way.
"So it's them?"
He was secretly amused. He thought that when Jiang Donghua came late at night, he must have something important to discuss, but it turned out that it was because of two playthings?
"Master Jiang, if you like it, just take it away."
Bai Xiaofeng waved his hand casually with a frivolous tone.
"It's just two maids. I have many more in my house."
Jiang Donghua looked deeply and said slowly.
"They are useful to me."
Bai Xiaofeng smiled slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Useful? What use can two maids do?"
He suddenly remembered that Hong Yu and Biyao seemed to have overheard something before. Could it be that Jiang Donghua was afraid that they would reveal their secrets?
"Oh, interesting."
Bai Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Donghua with a half-smile.
"Master Jiang, if you want them, you can."
He said slowly.
"However, I have to know what their use is, right?"
Jiang Donghua didn't say anything more, just slightly cupped his hands and said calmly.
"The two of them are different."
"Thank you Ninth Young Master for making it happen."
After that, he turned around and left without any intention of explaining.
Bai Xiaofeng frowned, staring at his back, thoughts surging in his heart.
"It's different? What's different?"
He racked his brains to recall what was special about Hong Yu and Biyao, but after thinking about it, he found that they were just two of the more favored maids in the house. Apart from being good-looking and knowing how to please men, there seemed to be nothing special about them.
"Do they really have any secrets about them?"
Seeing that Jiang Donghua was about to step out of the palace, Bai Xiaofeng finally couldn't help but speak.
"Master Jiang Wait a minute!"
Jiang Donghua paused in his steps, tilted his head slightly, and looked back calmly.
Bai Xiaofeng forced a smile on his face and said with feigned concern.
"Those two cheap maids are just playthings. They have long been innocent. There are many maids in the house who are cleaner and more beautiful than them. Why don't I let someone go outside to select some chicks for the master?"
Why do we need them?"
Jiang Donghua's expression did not change, he just shook his head slowly and said.
"It's different."
Those three words again!
Bai Xiaofeng became more and more frightened and suspicious, and couldn't help but probe.
"Oh? Master, please tell me, what are the differences between them?"
Jiang Donghua looked deeply, was silent for a moment, and then said calmly.
"They are special."
"Very special?!"
Bai Xiaofeng's pupils suddenly shrank, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Are they Medicine Person?!"
According to rumors, the blood of some people with special physiques can be used as medicine, and they can even refine high-level elixirs!
If this is the case, then Jiang Donghua may not be asking for them just for beauty, but for some other purpose!
Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed in Bai Xiaofeng's eyes, but he pretended to smile relaxedly.
"That's it! Since the master needs it, then this young master's natural beauty."
He promised with his mouth, but he had already made up his mind secretly.
"We have to quickly find out what secrets these two cheap maids hide!"
Outside the palace gate, Hong Yu and Biyao were waiting uneasily.
The two of them were very close, their red lips were slightly parted, and their voices were very low.
"You said Master Jiang came to see Ninth Young Master late at night. What was the reason?"
Biyao's eyes were full of doubts.
"Who knows?"
Hong Yu bit his lip.
"But I always feel like it's not a good thing."
They were guessing in low voices when suddenly, the palace door was pushed open with a "squeak".
The two of them immediately fell silent, stood up straight with lowered eyebrows, and did not dare to say another word.
However, when Jiang Donghua walked out, their first words made them tremble.
"Come with me."
"Wha... what?"
Hong Yu and Biyao raised their heads suddenly, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
They subconsciously looked into the hall and saw Ninth Young Master Bai Xiaofeng lazily leaning against the door, waving his hands carelessly.
"From now on, you can serve Master Jiang."
His tone was light and airy, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
"Remember, take good care of yourself."
Bai Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
"If you make Master Jiang unhappy, I will tear off both of your heads and kick them like balls."
The two women's faces instantly turned pale!
Hong Yu's fingertips were trembling slightly, and Biyao's breathing was stagnant for a moment.
They never expected that they would be sent away by Ninth Young Master!
"What? Still not grateful?"
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, with a threatening tone in his tone.
Hong Yu was the first to react, and quickly pulled Biyao to kneel down, his voice trembling slightly.
"Slave, thank you Ninth Young Master for your grace!"
"Thank you Master Jiang for taking me in!"
Jiang Donghua looked indifferent, just nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Hong Yu and Biyao didn't dare to delay and quickly got up to follow.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the Moonlight Stone on both sides of the corridor glowed with a faint cold light, stretching the shadows of the three people extremely long.
Biyao secretly raised his eyes and looked at the back of Jiang Donghua, feeling frightened and confused.
"Master Jiang Why do you want us?"
