”That's only natural. If my mother was still alive, how could the title of number one have fallen on her head?” Xin Cang Qu laughed coldly and drank a few more mouthfuls of wine before instructing, ”There is still a month left until mother's anniversary. Send a reply to Ah Wang and Ah Mo. I will set off in a few days.”

Bai Shuo replied, ”Yes,” but he felt uneasy. ”King Chuan knows that the Cang Lang will always go back at this time to pay his respects to the Empress. This time, the people from the Black White House are gathered in Tian Luan City, probably to deal with you.”

Xin Cang Qu snorted lightly, ”Isn't it always like this in the past? If he were to be honest, it would seem strange to me. ”

”Lord Cang, bring along your subordinates and shadows.”

As soon as Bai Shuo opened his mouth to speak, he was stopped by Xin Cang Qu's jade fan, ”There's no need, it's just a mere Black White House, I don't even put it in my eyes.”

”But …” Bai Shuo wanted to continue speaking, but upon coming into contact with such a cold and devilish gaze, he couldn't help but shut his mouth.

”Don't worry. This time, I will bring a capable helper with me.”

”A capable helper?” Bai Shuo had a puzzled look on his face.

”Go down and deliver the message.” Xin Cang Qu waved her hand again, then raised the wine jug and started drinking.

Seeing this, Bai Shuo could only retreat, shaking his head helplessly. It seemed that tonight, Cang Lang would once again fall asleep here.

It was ten o'clock in the morning. The faint silver moon was still embedded in the grayish-white sky as it looked down at the red-clothed gongzi with a wistful gaze.

Bai Shuo, who had not slept for the entire night, slowly pushed open the door to his room, and walked towards the pavilion within his mansion. She thought about it for a night, but she still could not guess who the helper that Xin Cang Qu mentioned was.

Bai Shuo looked at the still sleeping letter Cang Qu in the pavilion, and once again retrieved a cloak. Carefully putting it on, he picked up the empty wine jug on the ground, and then lightly withdrew.

With Xin Cang Qu's martial arts cultivation, even if she fell asleep, she would still be able to sense someone approaching her. However, he didn't pay any attention to her and only muttered a ”don't be noisy”.

When it was time for breakfast and the food was ready, Bai Shuo once again came to the pavilion. Seeing that the letter was still awake and he didn't dare to go up and disturb him, he could only withdraw.

When it was late in the morning, Bai Shuo came to take another look, and naturally the result was the same.

Bai Shuo walked out of the pavilion, pouting as he walked along the corridor. Suddenly, he heard knocking on the door.

Bai Shuo's eyes immediately lit up, fearing that he wouldn't be able to wake up Cang Lang, he quickly returned to the pavilion, ”Cang Lang, there is!”

Before she could finish her words, she heard Cang Qu spitting out a sentence, ”Go open the door!”

”Huh?” Bai Shuo stared blankly at her. If it wasn't such a coincidence, she would have thought that her master was talking in his sleep.

”Ah what? ”To open the door.” Xin Cang Qu repeated it again, but still did not open his eyes.

”Lord Cang, they must be causing trouble again. Do you want to avoid them?” Bai Shuo asked for instructions.

”No need, the helper that Ben told you to help out last night is here. Hurry up and open the door.” Xin Cang Qu slowly opened her eyes, stood up and stretched.

”Ugh …” ”Yes!” Bai Shuo gave a vague reply, turning around and walking out of the pavilion.

”Wait.” The letter suddenly called to her.
