Chapter 489 “The Phoenix Manor’s Future Mistress (2)”

“Princess, you are looking absolutely divine today. Can it be something nice has happened today?” She teases her friend, looking for some amusement.

“Oh quit teasing me Sister Pian Ran,” blushing with shyness, Qing Bi looks away all embarrassingly.

“Oh right, why didn’t Brother Feng Shen come with you tonight? I heard he is not feeling well so I thought you would go see him and then come together.”

“It’s not like you don’t know his temper. When he’s not well he won’t let anyone near him.” Moody in her voice, the Sacred Maiden clearly resented this fact.

It’s not like the girl didn’t want to do that, in fact, she intend to do so right after this feast.

This was not the first time Xue Pian Ran grew worried over the boy’s sickness. Way back when they were younger, she and Cong Lue were very worried once and tried to make contact. Unfortunately, that was a terrible mistake.

Before they could even make it past the courtyard, a huge table had come flying at them both from within, scaring the wits out of them.

“Scram!” Those were the only words they heard from Feng Shen back then, and it was unusually cold and menacing as well.

“You need to be careful Sister Pian Ran. I heard Brother Feng Shen’s been clung onto by a bad woman from Da Xia. Even worse, that person even followed him here to North Qing and is now living at his place. As his fiancé, you need to be on the lookout.” Thinking back to the stories Hong Ming Yue and the others were whispering into her ear, Qing Bi’s complexion instantly turned serious.

“You girl, always with your gossiping. I believe Feng Shen isn’t like that. As for that person, it may not be like you think. Perhaps they are just friends coming for a visit.”

As the Sacred Maiden of a major organization, there’s bound to be some layer to her upbringing. As such, her views aren’t as narrow as this princess.

“If living in the Phoenix Manor is nothing, then what about the Phoenix Edict? I saw it with my own eyes before. If you don’t believe me, go ask Cong Lu, he saw it too.”

This time Xue Pian Ran could no longer remain unfazed. She knew exactly what the item meant and what it signified.

“Cong Lu, is what Qing Bi said true?” The girl’s voice may still sound pleasant to the ear, but as childhood friends with each other, they could clearly tell she’s angry.

“Pian Ran, are you asking about the matter of living at the Phoenix Manor or the Phoenix Edict?” Regarding this Sacred Maiden’s requests, this captain of the royal guards could never refuse it.

Nevertheless, he didn’t need to because the girl already knew the answer by the way of his answering.

“You knew all along didn’t you Cong Lu? Such an important person and you didn’t bring her to the banquet, or did you intend to wait until Feng Shen personally showed her to me instead?” Gritting her teeth, this tense appearance was very unlike her.

“You mustn’t be angry Sister Pian Ran, that woman isn’t even qualified to participate in the palace banquet so of course she wouldn’t be here. Furthermore, she’s also not part of Da Xia’s delegation party.” Qing Bi had intended to spill even more juicy bits until Cong Lu stopped it by pulling the girl away and dumping her next to Xia Hou Qi’s side.

The banquet may be lavishing in its setup with fine food and exquisite guests, but without the proper company, nothing would taste good. This was especially true for the Sacred Maiden here until she noticed a set of eyes that’s been staring at her.
