Chapter Sixty: Wind Fairy

  The Huajia siblings walked towards Li Xiangfei, while Bai Cangdong found a seat and sat down beside them, focusing more on the food and fine wine in front of him.

  "The Huas don't seem to like you." A slightly cold voice sounded beside Bai Canghai, Feng Xian sat down next to him, picked up a wine cup and took a light sip.

  "What does this have to do with you?" Bai Cangdong was also drinking and didn't turn his head to look at Feng Xian.

  "If you're not happy at Hua's place, consider coming to Feng's place. You'll get more here than at Hua's, and there will be people who appreciate you." Feng Xian said it very directly and clearly.

  "Your appreciation touches me, but I didn't mean to leave the Huajia." Bai Cangdong refused bluntly.

  "Good luck then." Feng Xian whispered a sentence in his ear, then turned and left, revealing a rare smile, as beautiful as the ice mountain melting to reveal the flowers that had been frozen inside for thousands of years.

  He was slightly taken aback at first, but quickly understood and didn't take it to heart.

  As expected, soon after Feng Xian left, Hua Qianwu and Hua Mingyang walked over.

  "What did Feng Xian say to you?" Hua Mingyang asked coldly.

  "He didn't say anything else, just invited me to join the Feng family." Bai Cangdong said frankly.

  "How did you answer?" Hua Qianwu looked at Bai Cangdong with some tension and asked.

  "I said I didn't mean to leave the Huas."

  "Is it really just like that?" Hua Mingyang didn't quite believe Bai Cangdong's words.

  In fact, even Huā Qiān Wǔ didn't quite believe Bái Cāng Dōng, but Huā Qiān Wǔ wasn't as foolish as Huā Míng Yáng. Instead, she smiled and said: "Fēng Xiān will probably miscalculate this time, the masked one isn't someone who can be bought."

  Bai Cangdong felt it was boring to deal with the two of them, so he simply ignored them and started drinking on his own.

  Hua Qianwu and Hua Mingyang didn't linger either, and after they left, they walked to a deserted corner.

  "Little sister, this person doesn't take our Hua family seriously at all. He's probably going to be a disaster sooner or later. It's better to get rid of him early on, before he joins the Feng family." Hua Mingyang said in a low voice, his eyes full of murderous intent.

  "Second Brother, you can't act rashly. Viscount Mask has just helped our House of Flowers obtain the position of defending East Gate City. If we kill him without a good reason, how will those door guests dare to work hard for our House of Flowers in the future?" Flower Qianwu hastily said.

  "It's not hard to find a reason, I think that little guy must have made some kind of appointment with Feng Xian earlier. As long as we keep an eye on him, we won't let him get away with it. When the time comes, we can naturally and justifiably take care of him." Hua Mingyang still didn't believe what Bai Cangdong said earlier, firmly believing that Bai Cangdong had already made some kind of deal with Feng Xian.

  "This matter cannot be made public and can only be carried out in secret." Hua Qianwu nodded.

  Bai Cang sighed in his heart, Feng Xian knew the personalities of Hua family siblings like the back of her hand. She just came over and said two sentences to him, but it made Hua family siblings have serious doubts about him. This woman was also very frightening.

  The elegant music started, and the banquet hall suddenly quieted down. It was time to dance. Many male viscounts went to invite Xiangfei Li to dance the first dance, but including Huaming Yang, they were all rejected by Xiangfei Li.

  Li Xiangfei, who had refused everyone else, walked towards Bai Cao'er with a smile and stretched out her slender hand, saying sweetly: "May I have the pleasure of this dance?"

  Barely veiled jealous glances came from all directions, and no one had expected that after Li Xiangfei refused everyone else, she would actually take the initiative to invite Viscount Mask to dance.

  "It seems that the legend of Viscount Mask saving Li Xiangfei is not a rumor." A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Xian's eyes.

  The Huajia siblings also exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat annoyed. Bai Cangdong had clearly said that he and Li Xiangfei didn't have any particularly friendly relationship, yet now Li Xiangfei was refusing everyone's invitation to dance the first dance with him, obviously treating him as an extremely important person.

  "Sorry, I don't know how to dance." Bai Cangdong had always been fighting for his life, where did he have the time to learn dancing?

  "It doesn't matter, I'll lead you." Li Xiangfei didn't get angry at Bai Cangdong's refusal and still insisted on having him dance the first dance with her.

  Many male viscounts were jealous and flushed with envy; if it were them, they would have already taken Li Xiangfei into the dance floor.

  "Sorry, I really don't want to jump." Bai Cangdong was considering the matter of Taiyang Zhenhuo in his heart, but Feng Xian's sudden interruption made him worry that Huajianwu might not let him go together to hunt down Bamu Tianjun, and he would not be able to get Taiyang Zhenhuo. He felt a little stifled in his heart.

  All the viscounts who were paying attention to this side thought that Li Xiangfei would not invite Bai Cangdong to dance again, even if she was not angry. They all clenched their fists and rubbed their palms, waiting for Li Xiangfei to leave Bai Cangdong's side before immediately going up to ask her to dance, and the chances of success must have increased greatly.

  Who would have thought that Li Xiangfei not only didn't get angry, but also didn't leave Bai Canghai's side. Instead, she sat down next to him and said softly: "Then I'll keep you company for a drink."

  Li Xiangfei was by his side, and Bai Cangdong couldn't calm down to think. From time to time, someone came over to greet Li Xiangfei and chat with her. Although Li Xiangfei only responded politely with a few words, there were too many people, so the two of them never had a quiet moment.

  "Come out with me for a walk, it's stuffy here." Bai Cangdong really needed some quiet time to think. If Hua Qianwu didn't take him to the depths, how could he get his hands on the Sun True Fire?

  "Good." Li Xiangfei nodded and followed Bai Cangdong out of the banquet hall, through the corridor to a small garden.

  Until the end of the banquet, Li Xiangfei, the protagonist of this banquet, stayed by Bai Cangdong's side, making all the young masters of Fenghuacheng feel very depressed. Fortunately, there was another protagonist, Silver Armor Knight, and the banquet went on smoothly.

  It was only natural that the Earl of Windflower did not appear at the banquet, as he had little time left to live. In the past two years, the Earl of Windflower had rarely attended such banquets, and many banquets held in his name were actually not attended by him personally.

  "Viscount Mask, didn't you say that you and Miss Shangfei didn't have a particularly close relationship? Why was Miss Shangfei accompanying you for the entire evening?" After leaving the Earl's residence, Huachiande suppressed her anger and did not explode in rage.

  "It's probably because Miss Xiangfei is grateful that I saved her life; actually, we're not very familiar with each other." Bai Canghai said lightly.

  "Hmph, I think you're just unwilling to put in effort for our Hua family." Hua Mingyang retorted directly without much consideration.

  "What I said is all true, and there's nothing I can do if the two of you don't believe me." Bai Cangdong didn't bother to say anything more, he just closed his eyes to rest, but in his heart, he was even more certain that Hua Qianwu would not let him participate in the action to kill the Eight-eyed Heaven King.

  When Li Xiangfei left Fenghuacheng, Bai Cangdong didn't see her off. That night at the banquet, Bai Cangdong had already spoken to Li Xiangfei, but when she left the city, she still didn't see Bai Cangdong's figure and felt a little downhearted.

  Bai Cangdong was currently diligently cultivating the "Bei Ye Jing", his innate divine light had already been elevated to the tenth rank.

  Bai Cang Dong had inquired from others before that, generally, viscounts cultivate their innate divine light. The bronze innate divine light is relatively easy to cultivate, and with a superior longevity technique at hand, it can be cultivated within about ten days. The white silver innate divine light takes around half a month to cultivate one grade, while the golden innate divine light requires almost a month to possibly cultivate one grade.

  But Bai Cangdong had only cultivated for half a month and had already reached the tenth rank, his speed was so fast that even he himself was somewhat frightened.

  Although the divine light of one's life becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as it progresses, after 100 grids, it is often difficult to complete even one grid in a year. However, at this rate of cultivation, after 100 grids, it will likely be much faster than ordinary people.

  "At this rate, I'm afraid it won't take a few years for me to really cultivate up to the 360th rank of perfection." Bai Cangdong was overjoyed in his heart.

  Until the eighth day of the siege, Hua Qianwu did not appear in front of Bai Canghai again, just as Bai Canghai had expected. She could not let someone who might be a traitor follow her to carry out such a dangerous task.

  "It seems I have no choice but to go to the Hurricane Abyss myself." Bai Cangdong had already anticipated this and made necessary preparations.

  Bai Cang walked to a deserted place, took off his mask and changed into an ordinary outfit, then headed towards an unremarkable armed escort.

  Anyway, since no one knows his true appearance, he only needs to get a set of full-body armor and he can head to the Hurricane Abyss. As long as he doesn't use techniques like "Eight Steps in Heaven" that are characteristic of Viscount Mask, others won't be able to recognize him as Viscount Mask.

  The name of the armory is "Seven Strings", just a small shop, naturally it's impossible to have any good armor, viscount-level armor is not possible, even baron-level armor is mostly bronze-grade goods, and the vast majority are ordinary armor without any rank.

  Bai Cang had never planned on buying anything of good quality anyway; a set of baron-level armor would be enough.

  "Would you like to buy something, sir?" The shopkeeper was a somewhat mature-looking man who appeared to be quite old, which was rare in the Radiant Realm, where everyone's appearance was fixed at around twenty years of age and no one ever became an elderly person with wrinkles and gray hair.

  "I want to buy a set of baron-level full-body armor, best if it's a complete set, helmet, breastplate, gauntlets, greaves, and boots, at least these." said Bai Cangdong.

  "The guest's request has put me in a bit of a difficult position. This is just a small shop, and the armor I collect is mostly miscellaneous pieces, making it hard to assemble a complete set of the same type." After a moment of contemplation, the shopkeeper continued: "If you're willing to consider different types of armor, I can put together a set for you. There are some excellent pieces among them, but I'm not sure if you'd be interested?"
