The Rising Phoenix

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng wanted to see Bai Xifeng before departing, but Zhu Guan did not allow it. His reason... It would disturb their formation. What a stupid reason. However, they did not force their way. They knew that their daughter/ sister would be fine.

So, around 10 p.m., they headed to the targeted mansion. They were confident that with Bai Xiang's strength, they would be able to win this fight. Zhu Guan already thought he was the winner.

However, when they sneaked into the mansion, they were stunned. It was like their enemy was waiting for them.

"Zhu Guan, what are you trying to do?" Wu Shunyuan looked at Zhu Guan sharply.

Remembering he was acting like he was the mayor in front of Bai Xiang, Zhu Guan acted righteous. "Wu Shunyuan, I will not allow you to harm the citizens of this town anymore. Tonight, everything will be over." He shouted.

Wu Shunyuan and his people were speechless. They did not understand why Zhu Guan acted like they were the bad people, harming the people of this town.

"Zhu Guan, are you crazy or what?" Wu Shunyuan asked back.

"That's crazy. You must be crazy. The one who harmed the people in this town is you."

Jiang Shihong shouted back.

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Guan frowned. "I am coming here to eliminate you. Everyone attack!!!"

He did not want to talk anymore. Because the more he talked, the more he would be exposed. Let Bai Xiang kill Wu Shunyuan first. Then, Bai Xiang would never know the truth.

Everyone rushed to attack. The other side also fought. However, Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng remained standing without any intention to join the fight. While fighting someone, Zhu Guan saw the situation. He frowned.

"Sir Bai, please help us kill them." Zhu Guan shouted.

However, both of them remained still. Zhu Guan could not bother to speak to him anymore because people attacked him. Zhu Guan managed to look around. His people were losing this battle. One by one of his people were being killed by Wu Shunyuan's people. How could this happen? It should be Wu Shunyuan's people who should die.

Zhu Guan began to think about the possibility. How could there be so many people in this mansion? They should be at their home except for the servant. But they were here. It was like they were waiting for him.

Then, everything clicked. He turned to Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng. How did they know everything? And how did they manage to inform Wu Shunyuan without his knowledge?

Everyone on Zhu Guan's side had been killed. Only a few people were left. Zhu Guan lost his mind, rushing over to Bai Xiang to kill Bai Xiang, but a few meters away from Bai Xiang, he was forced to kneel down because of Bai Xiang's oppression.

"You..." Zhu Guan was furious at Bai Xiang.

Wu Shunyuan came over. He saluted Bai Xiang.

"Your Excellency, I never thought to see you here." Wu Shunyuan stated.

Zhu Guan was confused. Wu Shunyuan knew this man?

"Zhu Guan, you probably did not recognise His Excellency, but you should know his name." Wu Shunyuan stated.

Zhu Guan was still confused. His name? Then, his expression changed slowly when he found out about that.

"I guess you finally recognise him. He is the Great General Bai Xiang." Wu Shunyuan said.

Zhu Guan's mouth opened widely. Not only him, but all of Zhu Guan's people who were still alive looked shocked. They did not think it was that person. The Great General was travelling with just two people. Who would do that?

Then, Zhu Guan remembered something. He grinned.

"Your Excellency, you should let us go." Zhu Guan suddenly smirked.

"Oh... Why is that?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Don't you remember? Your daughter is in my house. If you don't want her to get hurt, you should listen to me." Zhu Guan thought he would have the upper hand in this matter.

"You... You dare to harm my sister." Bai Tingfeng growled.

"My son has already received the signal." Zhu Guan said.

He and his son discussed this. He did not fully believe Bai Xiang. So, he made Zhu Delai watch over Bai Xiang's daughter. If Bai Xiang betrayed him, he would make his daughter suffer the consequences.

Bai Xiang chuckled. Zhu Guan was confused.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you worry about your daughter? Hurry up and follow my order. Kill Wu Shunyuan." Zhu Guan shouted.

"Do you think my daughter would be easy to kill?" Bai Xiang asked.

At the Zhu Mansion.

Bai Xifeng was sitting inside her room when she heard someone coming into the courtyard. She raised her eyebrow. Then, someone kicked the door. The door of Bai Xifeng's room was wide open. She could see that the person was Zhu Delai.

"Young Lady... You should follow me." Zhu Delai said.

He did not show the same respect toward Bai Xifeng anymore. He sounded like a street thug. He also looked at Bai Xifeng lewdly.

"Why may I ask?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Your father screwed up. So, you need to pay up for his mistake." Zhu Delai said.

"What if I don't want to do it?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"You will do what I ask." Zhu Delai stated. "Hey, come in and drag her out."

Two servants came into the room. They walked toward Bai Xifeng.
