Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Someone Is Living Here

"Father, where are we going to stay for tonight?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Your mother brought a home not far from here. However, I think we need to do some cleaning to stay there. It will be night soon. For tonight, let’s stay in the inn first before going here. We will go over there tomorrow morning." Bai Xiang said.

"Sure." The two children nodded.

So, as for the night, they all stayed at the inn.

The next day, after breakfast, they walked to the house that Bai Xiang mentioned. They had arrived at the house. They were about to open the gate. However, the gate had been opened from inside.

Both parties had a surprised look on their faces. Bai Xiang looked at the person who was inside. He had no recollection of this person.

"What do you want?" The person asked

The person who opened the gate was a woman. From her clothes, she could be assumed to be a maid. She seemed not to know them.

"Father, are you hiring someone to take care of this place?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Even though she lived in the Capital City, Bai Xifeng did not know that her mother had her own house that she bought. The Bai Family did not tell her anything. If she knew about this, she would come over and live at this house.

"I ask Old Madam to take care of it for me in the past." Bai Xiang answered.

"Then, it must be her people." Bai Xifeng said.

The maid listened to the conversation. She did not understand the latter. However, she did understand that these people claimed this house was theirs.

"What are you talking about? This is clearly my madam’s house. You can not randomly say this is your house." The maid shouted.

"Who is your Madam? Tell me." Bai Xiang said.

"My Madam is Lord Bai’s woman. You know Lord Bai’s right?" The maid said.

"Suixi, what are you doing over there? Why are you still here, not go and purchase the cake that I want?" A meek voice asked the maid. It was obviously a woman.

"Madam, these people come over and claim that this house is theirs." The maid said.

"What?" The woman was surprised. She came over and looked at the people.

When Bai Xiang looked at the woman, she was not someone that he knew. This woman was young. She was probably 20 years old or something similar to that age. He wondered who she was.

"Who are you?" The woman asked.

"This is my mother’s house. Who are you and why are you living inside my mother’s house?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Your mother’s house? This is my house." The woman said.

"Hmm... Do you have the certificate of the house?" Bai Xiang asked.

"What is that?" The woman asked.

"The paper that showed who the house owner was." Bai Xiang said.

"This house belonged to my man. The certificate is with him." The woman said.

"Then, tell me who your man is." Bai Xifeng stated.

"This is nothing to do with you. Please leave." The woman said.

She tried to close the gate. However, Bai Tingfeng blocked the gate from closing.

"What are you doing? Someone, please help me. These people want to rob me." The woman shouted.

There were some people around. They came over.

"What is going on here?" Someone asked.

Bai Xiang wanted to say something but his daughter stopped her.

"Hello everyone. I am Bai Xifeng, daughter of General Bai who just returned yesterday. This is my father, General Bai Xiang and my brother, Bai Tingfeng. I think you already know that we already cut ties with the Bai Family and moved out of their house. Today, we are moving into our new house. This house. However, we don’t know that there is someone living in this house until now. So, we are just asking her if she has some proof to claim this house is hers or not because we have the certificate that shows we are the owner of the house." Bai Xifeng explained to the onlookers.

"Oh, I see."

"Hmm... I remember this woman moved in two years ago in this house. She has been living in this house since then."

"Yeah. I thought she was a daughter from a rich family since she could afford this house."

"No, this house is really mine. My man give this house to me." The woman said.

Bai Xifeng looked at the house again.

"If that’s so, please show the proof." Bai Xifeng said. "If you don’t have the certificate, then, tell me who your man is."

"Yes, I will talk with him." Bai Xiang said.

"Madam, let’s call the lord." The maid advised.

The woman hesitated. If she called his man, another problem might occur.

Bai Xifeng approached the woman. The woman put her guard on.

"What do you try to do?" The woman asked.

Bai Xifeng let her aura out. The woman immediately felt the oppression. She kneeled on the ground.

"Tell me, who is your man?" Bai Xifeng asked.

The woman felt pain inside her body. She was only a Middle-Rank Gathering Qi Realm cultivator. The woman in front of her right now was much stronger than her.

"Tell me." Bai Xifeng pressed again.

The woman vomited some blood.

"Madam." The maid approached her madam to help her Madam.

She also ended up feeling the oppression herself. She also vomited some blood.
