Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Guest Of Honor

’Yes, I am. This is my son and daughter." Bai Xiang said.

The eunuch was obviously shocked when he heard that Bai Xifeng introduced the woman as his daughter. He looked over at Bai Xifeng. It was a beautiful girl. From what he heard, Bai Xifeng was an ugly and stupid girl. The girl in front of him right now was refined and beautiful.

He had not seen Bai Xifeng before. When Bai Xifeng came to the palace before, he was not assigned to work that night. So, he missed that part. After that, he heard the news that the girl had gone missing.

The eunuch thought General Bai Xiang picked up someone else to play the role of his daughter or this beautiful girl tricked General Bai Xiang into believing this girl was his daughter. However, it was not his place to mention this matter to General Bai Xiang. Once they were in the banquet, there would be a lot of people finding out about this. At that time, this beautiful girl would be done.

"You can follow me." The eunuch said.

The three of them followed the eunuch. They arrived at the hall of the banquet. There were already people inside the hall.

"Our guest of honor, General Bai and his children have arrived." The eunuch announced.

The announcement made everyone inside the banquet hall turn around and look at the three of them. It was almost 12 years since they saw General Bai Xiang and his son. General Bai Xiang did not change at all. Moreover, he became stronger.

Bai Tingfeng also grew up to become a handsome young man. They were thinking of sending their daughter to marry this young man. Their family would be protected by the strongest man on the continent.

Then, they moved to the girl who currently smiling at General Bai. They were shocked to see the girl was there. They heard that she had gone missing half a year ago.

The girl probably ran away from that house and went to see her father and brother at the military camp. The Bai Family did not know about that and assumed she ran away. The news about General Bai Xiang cut ties with the Bai Family was probably because of her.

The girl seemed to become more beautiful and refined as same as her mother. People who seemed General Bai Xiang’s wife before would think the same. However, when they thought about the matter, it was a pity that she would be married to an idiot prince.

Ministry of Revenue, Ye Rong with his family came to greet Bai Xiang’s family.

"Your Excellency, it has been a long time since we last met." Ye Rong greeted Bai Xiang.

"Hmm... Indeed..." Bai Xiang nodded.

Bai Xiang knew Ye Rong. Even though they used to argue a lot about state matters, mostly because of the military budget, they were not enemy.

"I heard that you obtained a breakthrough pill that allows you to breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm. Is that true?" Ye Rong asked.

"Yeah." Bai Xiang admitted it right away.

"Then, is that true that the talented alchemist was in the military camp?" Ye Rong asked excitedly.

"Yes, but I think he left after we left the military camp." Bai Xiang stated.

"Why is he leaving?" Ye Rong asked again feeling disappointed.

"He is joining the military camp for a special reason. When I asked him to stay, he told me that he came to the military camp just to improve his skills. Thinking there was nothing here anymore, he decided to leave." Bai Xiang said the lie smoothly like it was the truth.

Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng’s lips were twitching listening to their father’s smooth lie. Well, it was better to lie like that. If they thought the talented alchemist was still at the military camp, those people probably would rush to join the military camp. Not because they wanted to be a soldier but because they wanted to be close to the talented alchemist.

"Third Miss Bai." Ye Rong’s daughter, Ye Lanying called Bai Xifeng’s name.

"Please call her, Miss Bai. Not Third Miss Bai. I don’t have any daughter beside her." Bai Xiang corrected Ye Lanying.

Ye Lanying was taken aback. She heard about General Bai’s family cutting ties with the Bai Family. She did not expect that it was the truth.

"Forgive me. Miss Bai. Do you go to the military camp half a year ago?" Ye Lanying asked.

"Yes. I did." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Why did you go to such a dangerous place?" Ye Lanying asked.

Ye Rong and his wife pulled their daughter.

Bai Xifeng was not angry. She smiled.

"Dangerous place? For you, it might be dangerous. But for me, it is my sanctuary." Bai Xifeng stated.

"What? The Capital City should be the safest place." Ye Lanying did not expect that answer.

"You should know why this place is not as safe for you as you imagine." Bai Xifeng threw the fact.

Ye Lanying was Bai Chunhua’s friend. She also came to the house to bully Bai Xifeng. Well, she did not think that was a bad idea to bully an idiot and good-for-nothing trash.

Ye Lanying who heard the remark blushed. She glanced at Bai Tingfeng. Bai Tingfeng was glaring at her. Bai Xifeng probably had told her brother that she had been bullied by her (Ye Lanying).
