Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Being Questioned By Her Father’s Confidants

Bai Xifeng could not stop Liu Longwei. So, they went together to meet her father’s confidants. They welcomed Bai Xifeng with smiles on their faces. However, when they turned to Liu Longwei, they glared at Liu Longwei.

"Xifeng, who is this man?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Well, he is..." Bai Xifeng was about to explain when suddenly Yi Kang exclaimed.

"What? Fox mask... Are you Lord Yueliang?" Yi Kang asked while looking at Liu Longwei in shock.

"Lord Yueliang? You mean that Lord Yueliang?" Zou Shaoqing looked at Liu Longwei disbelief.

Bai Xifeng glanced at Liu Longwei. It seemed he was calm. Looked like she did not have to explain about him.

"I am." Liu Longwei stated.

"I see. I wonder why are you with Xifeng?" Yi Kang asked.

"I have been hired as a bodyguard by Sir Bai." Liu Longwei answered.

"Hired as a bodyguard?" Zou Shaoqing was feeling speechless.

Even Bai Xifeng was speechless hearing the answer from Liu Longwei. Judging from everyone’s reaction, Liu Longwei’s another identity was very impressive. Being a bodyguard for her seemed ridiculous.

"Why do you want to be his bodyguard?" Yi Kang asked.

"Well, Sir Bai helped me before. When I heard he travel alone, I want to repay his kindness before. So, I decided to be his bodyguard." Liu Longwei stated.

"Oh... I see." Zou Shaoqing awkwardly nodded.

"Hmm... Lord Yueliang, can you please leave the hall first? We have something to talk with Xifeng." Yi Kang said.

Liu Longwei looked at Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng made signs with her eyes telling Liu Longwei to go out. Because of Bai Xifeng’s order, he then nodded.

"I will wait outside." Liu Longwei walked out of the hall.

As soon Liu Longwei stepped out of the hall, her father’s confidants began to throw questions to Bai Xifeng.

"Xifeng, is he aware about your gender?"

"Are you sure that he is not threaten you or something like that?"

"How do you ended up helping him?"

Bai Xifeng tried to calm down her father’s confidants. She knew that they were genuinely worried about her.

"Uncles, please calm down. I will ask your questions one by one. First, I don’t think he knew my true gender. I dressed up as a male. He did not threatening me or anything. As for helping him, I offered him to eat when I was camping outside. He probably was hungry at that time. After that, he offered to be my bodyguard." Bai Xifeng used Liu Longwei’s story and filled on the blank.

They still felt ridiculous when they heard about Bai Xifeng’s explanation. That man was Lord Yueliang. The rumor about him spread to their ears was a little different from what Bai Xifeng told them.

Lord Yueliang was a strong and powerful figure which had been famous these years. The force behind him already could not be overlooked. They were grown stronger and stronger.

Rumor said he probably already received Nascent Soul Realm. That could not be confirmed. Even just now, they could not see through his cultivation base.

"Xifeng, are you sure you will be alright with him?" Yi Kang asked in worry.

"Uncles, you don’t need to worry. I will be alright. If he dares doing something to me, I will call my contracted beast to fight him. Even though it might not able to defeat him, I still will have time to run." Bai Xifeng convinced her father’s confidants.

"Since you already said so, there is nothing for us to stop you. However, we still need to write to your father about this." Zou Shaoqing stated.

"Eh, is that necessary?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes. Since we saw you, we need to inform General Bai about this." Zheng Liang nodded.

"Fine... Just tell him." Bai Xifeng could not stop them for writing to her father telling about this matter.

If Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng demanded to know about the truth, she would let them know about Liu Longwei’s another identity. However, it was up to them whether they wanted to believe her or not.

Bai Xifeng excused herself from her father’s confidants. They said many things like she needed to take care of herself, did not let Liu Longwei knew her true gender and she also should not believe Liu Longwei much. Bai Xifeng accepted all of their advices. She knew that they said all of them because out of concerns.

Finally, Bai Xifeng managed to get out of the hall. Liu Longwei was waiting for her not far from the hall. He was standing under the tree while looking at the tree. The sun shined on his handsome face making his handsome face looked more dignified.

Liu Longwei slowly turned to Bai Xifeng who stared at him stunningly. He smiled at Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng finally snapped out. She coughed several times to cover her embarrass being caught staring at him by Liu Longwei.

"Let’s go." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Have you done with them?" Liu Longwei asked.

"Yes... My father might be reckless after receiving the letter from them later." Bai Xifeng said.

"Why?" Liu Longwei asked.

"Because he will know that I am travelling with an unknown man. He probably will be worried." Bai Xifeng replied.

"Oh..." Liu Longwei chuckled.

"By the way, what is about your Lord Yueliang’s identity? Why Uncles seem to be worried knowing that you are Lord Yueliang?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"You want to know?" Liu Longwei raised his eyebrow.
