Chapter 355: My Men (1/2)

This person simply reached up and ripped the mask off his face. His appearance changed in an instant.

“Greetings to Mistress.” The person knelt on the ground and gave Bai Luochu his greetings.

As soon as the person ripped the mask off, Bai Luochu recognized him. He was one of the individuals she recruited during the Phoenix King Valley’s disciple selection.

His name was Qin Feng and he was a military scout. He was abandoned by his parents since he was young and had been learning skills while performing on the streets. After growing up, his biological parents found him and acknowledged his existence after explaining the reason behind throwing him away in the first place. Their business failed and they lost their family fortune, giving them no choice but to abandon him. Qin Feng was already able to think for himself and he merely accepted the resources given to him by his parents before starting to cultivate diligently. As for what happened next… he failed the Phoenix King Valley’s disciple selection and was recruited by Bai Luochu.

“It has been a long time since we last met, Qin Feng.” Bai Luochu withdrew her sword and reached out to help Qin Feng.

When Qin Feng heard Bai Luochu addressing him by his name, he became overjoyed. He knew that he was an ordinary member of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence and never expected Bai Luochu to remember his name.

“If I have offended Mistress in any way during the day, please forgive me.” Qin Feng immediately asked for forgiveness. He knew that he had offended her and if she were to take things to heart, his days in the future would be a living hell.

Bai Luochu didn’t bother about the offense. She smiled and said to Qin Feng, “There is no need to pay attention to the small stuff. However, why are you being so hostile to the First Prince?”

Qin Feng scratched his head in embarrassment before explaining himself, “Mistress, to be honest, Commander Ying Lan passed down the order.”

Bai Luochu frowned in response. “Why did Ying Lan order you to do that? I understand the reason behind ordering all of you to take part in the campaign. But why did he order you to go against the First Prince?”

Qin Feng was placed in a difficult spot. He opened his mouth but no word came out.

Bai Luochu’s temper started to rise and she snapped at him, “Speak. You’re just complying with Ying Lan’s orders. I’ll put all the blame on Ying Lan’s head if anything goes wrong.”

‘Look for a place to set up camp in advance. Also, when you see Mistress, look around for a man wearing black clothes. If he looks like a young master, make his life hell.’

“This subordinate didn’t understand the reason behind Commander Ying’s instructions and I spoke out of turn to question him.”
