Bai Yusu, along with Bai Yusheng and her mother, Madam Tong, came to the He family to thank Ji Fengyao.
As soon as the mother and her two children entered the inner courtyard of the He family, they saw a pile of corpses on the ground, and Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye playing happily all over the courtyard.
Upon seeing Shang Xiye's divinely handsome face, which seemed to be descended from heaven, Bai Yusu froze in her tracks.
Tong was trembling with fear at the sight of the corpses all over the courtyard, and she felt even more awe for Ji Fengyao, who had been kind to her and her two children.
Apart from Ji Fengyao and a few close friends, Xi Que doesn't pay attention to anyone else.
An Zijin noticed that Bai Yusu was staring intently at Shang Xiye, and her smile faded. She raised her voice in displeasure and questioned, "Bai Yusheng, how could you bring people into the young lady and the young master's place without even having someone inform them beforehand?"
Bai Yusu only came to her senses after An Zijin shouted that.
After reflecting on An Zijin's words and learning about Shang Xiye's identity, a hint of jealousy flashed across her lowered eyes.
That woman is so lucky!
Ever since Ji Fengyao transferred her to another place, she has been following unfamiliar cultivators on missions with fear and trepidation.
Bai Yusu always referred to Ji Fengyao as "that woman" in her heart, rather than the respectful young lady she spoke of.
So what if someone is an alchemist? Does having money make them superior and allow them to do whatever they want?
As everyone knows, alchemists are less talented than ordinary spiritual cultivators. Once their cultivation level is high, who will want them?
Even though Ji Fengyao helped Bai Yusheng quell and clean up the Bai family, and even rescued their mother, Bai Yusu still felt that she could repay this favor after she became more powerful. They didn't need to be treated like dogs and be ordered around by Ji Fengyao forever.
When Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye saw that Bai Yusheng had brought Tong Shi and Bai Yusu, they stopped their playful fighting.
"Haoyan, Zhuang Shaoze, have a few people clear these things out," Ji Fengyao casually instructed, then took Shang Xiye's hand and led him to the chairs under the eaves of the main hall, where the two sat down together.
"Miss! Young Master!" Bai Yusheng greeted Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye first.
"This old woman greets Miss and son-in-law," Madam Tong quickly and politely greeted them.
"Greetings, Miss," Bai Yusu casually curtsied to Ji Fengyao, then sweetly and ladylikely greeted Shang Xiye, "Yusu greets...Master."
This blatant difference in word choice is so obvious that even a person could tell the difference in their words.
Shang Xiye was sipping tea with her eyes downcast when she heard this, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her brows furrowed slightly.
He's really getting caught in the crossfire even while sitting still; he really didn't do anything this time!
My lady, how did you come to fall for me? Is it too late for me to change my mind?
Bai Yusheng and Madam Tong were even more startled.
But fearing that Bai Yusu didn't mean what they thought, they could only silently glare at Bai Yusu.
Having spent so much time with Shang Xiye and Mo Linxian, Ji Fengyao already knew how devastating his looks were. She sneered at Bai Yusu, thinking to herself: It seems that this assignment not only failed to control this girl's temper, but also made her even more clueless.
"Bai Yusheng, the Bai family has just stabilized, so there shouldn't be any major issues. What are you doing here?" Ji Fengyao asked coldly.
"Miss," Bai Yusheng could tell that Ji Fengyao was angry, so she quickly pulled her mother and tugged at Bai Yusu, saying, "It is precisely because the Bai family has stabilized that I have had the opportunity to bring my mother and sister to thank you and your husband."
