Chapter 204: The Matter is Done (2/2)
“Master, are you doing this for Luo Chu?” The guard commander pondered for a long time before allowing the question to leave his mouth. After all, his master was a person who didn’t like noise. Why would he take the initiative to invite others to a feast? If there was someone who could persuade Pei Qingfeng to do such a thing, Luo Chu would be number 1 on the list. No matter what occasion it was, if Luo Chu was present, Pei Qingfeng would be there as well.
Pei Qingfeng paused for a second. He didn’t expect the guard to be able to read his thoughts. He immediately asked in return, “What about it?”
That guard commander let out a silent sigh and said, “Master, why don’t you ask for the reason behind her favor? You should know that the Phoenix King Valley isn’t a small faction. If she causes trouble out there, they might even suspect that you are involved. How will we explain the matter if that happens? Right now, the relationship between the imperial clan and the Phoenix King Valley isn’t the best. If another incident occurs… I’m afraid His Majesty will punish you to warn the rest.”
“I trust her.” Pei Qingfeng was done with the invitation card. He turned and spoke to the guard firmly, “She always has a plan. Nothing has even gone wrong. If nothing happened to her so far, nothing will happen to her in the future. She crossed swords with the Phoenix King Valley multiple times now and was never at a disadvantage. I even used repairing relationships as a reason to invite all of them for a feast. I will absolve myself of all blame when the time comes.”
“But Master...” That guard commander wanted to say something but was refuted by Pei Qingfeng.
“Deliver this invitation card to the Phoenix King Valley’s manor. You have to make sure they accept the invitation. When you are returning, deliver a message to Luo Chu as well. Let her know that ‘the matter is done’ so she can feel at ease.”
When the guard saw how determined his master was, he had no choice but to acknowledge the orders. He held onto the invitation card and left the residence.
On the other side, Bai Luochu was speeding up her refining of the antidote to the sleeping incense.
The core disciples unexpectedly accepted the invitation by Pei Qingfeng without any resistance. After obtaining their answer, the guard quickly left.
For convenience’s sake, the guard didn’t enter the main entrance. He headed straight into the secluded courtyard to deliver the message to Bai Luochu.
“The request you have for Master has been done.” The guard commander was still in a fit of anger and his tone wasn’t exactly nice.
