"No, I am sorry. We can not do that." Bai Xiang said.
The messenger was shocked when he heard the rejection. "General Bai, are you going to disobey His Majesty’s order?"
"Of course not." Bai Xiang looked at the messenger nonchalantly.
"Then, why do you say you can not give him to His Majesty?" The messenger asked.
"Well, you need to ask that person himself if he wants to serve His Majesty or not." Bai Xiang stated.
"What? Of course, he could not reject His Majesty’s order." The messenger snorted.
"But he is not His Majesty’s people." Bai Xiang stated.
"What?" The messenger was surprised.
"He is a disciple of the hidden sect. She came out to gain experience. Do you think he would leave his sect to serve some royalty?" Bai Xiang replied.
"Hidden sect? Which one?" The messenger asked.
"Well, I don’t know about that. He just told me that." Bai Xiang signalled a gesture that he also did not know about that.
"Then, let me meet him." The messenger stated.
"Tingfeng, go and get the alchemist to come here." Bai Xiang ordered Bai Tingfeng.
Bai Xiang looked at Bai Tingfeng. Bai Tingfeng seemed to understand what his father wanted to say. He nodded.
"Yes, father. I will get the alchemist." Bai Tingfeng nodded.
Bai Tingfeng left the room and went to the pill room where Bai Xifeng was. Bai Xifeng just finished eating and was talking with Xiao Li. She saw his brother come over.
"Xixi, someone from the Capital City comes to meet you." Bai Tingfeng stated.
"Huh? What? Why?" Bai Xifeng was surprised. Is her identity exposed?
"It seems someone leaked the information that we have a talented alchemist. The employer wants you to come to the Capital City to serve the royal family." Bai Tingfeng explained.
"Huh? Serve the royal family? Hell no!" Bai Xifeng refused it right away.
"Father knows that you will refuse the offer. In order to refuse it, Father told the messenger that you are not our citizen. You are a disciple from a hidden sect who came out to gain some experience outside." Bai Tingfeng said.
"Is that going to work?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"I think so. The emperor is kind of afraid to offend any sect since they are much more powerful than a country." Bai Tingfeng said.
"Oh... I see." Bai Xifeng nodded.
"Then, you should come to meet this messenger yourself. Can you do it?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"Of course. I really like to act." Bai Xifeng grinned.
"Is it okay to go just like this? Won’t he recognize you?" Bai Tingfeng asked again.
"Hmm... I don’t show my face much to the public. I don’t think that everyone knows my face. Well, what if he recognizes me? In this world, some people have similar faces. No need to worry about that." Bai Xifeng waved her hand.
"If you think so. Shall we go now?" Bai Tingfeng said.
"Yes. Oh, Xiao Li. I want to eat a cake. Can you make it for me?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Sure, young miss." Xiao Li nodded.
Brother and sister walked to the room where they were being waited for. The messenger looked at Bai Xifeng. He seemed to have met this man before but he did not remember where.
"Are you the one who wants to meet me?" Bai Xifeng asked as soon as she saw the messenger.
"Are you an alchemist?" The messenger asked. He could not believe himself because this man looked so young.
"Yes. I am. Why?" Bai Xifeng nodded.
"No... May I know your name, Sir?" The messenger asked.
"I am Long Feng." Bai Xifeng had been using the identity.
Well, I am a messenger from Liuyin Empire Emperor. His Majesty would like to invite you to be the royal alchemist." The messenger seemed to be proud to announce the news.
However, Bai Xifeng looked uninterested at all.
"What is the benefit that your emperor give me?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Erk... Well, you can be royal alchemist" The messenger stated.
Bai Xifeng looked disgusted. "Just that? Then, I refuse. That title is useless to me." She said.
The messenger looked super shocked. This was his first task. He wanted to do a better job to impress the emperor. So, he was thinking of threatening this young man.
"If you don’t want to follow the order, I will use another mean to take me with you." The messenger let out his cultivation power which a High Rank Establishing Foundation Realm Cultivator.
"You!" Bai Xiang wanted to beat the messenger.
Bai Xifeng turned to Bai Xiang and smiled while shaking her head. Then, he turned back to the messenger.
"Are you trying to threaten me with your cultivation power? Then, shall we compare our power?" Bai Xifeng snorted.
She also let her cultivation power out. The messenger felt the oppression from the young man. He was shocked again.
How could someone with such a young age have cultivation power like that? This young man was stronger than him.
Bai Xifeng approached the messenger. The closer Bai Xifeng was to the messenger, the stronger the oppression that the messenger felt.
