Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Visiting Xie Mansion

Bai Xifeng opened the box. What she saw was a pile of black stone. However, she recognized the stone. It was obsidian stone. She picked up the stone and lifted it up. It was beautiful. Hmm... This quantity was enough to make a dagger. If she became more careful with the material, she might be able to make a pendant after making the dagger.

"Thank you, Uncle Ning. I like it." Bai Xifeng said.

She put the obsidian stone inside the box again and closed the box.

"Xifeng, if you don’t like it, you can just say it. Don’t be reserved." Ruan Chu said.

"Of course, I am telling the truth, Auntie Ruan. I like the stone." Bai Xifeng stated. She turned to Ning Zhaofeng. "Uncle Ning, are there still more black stones in that realm?"

"Well, I don’t know." Ning Zhaofeng shook his head.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng was a bit disappointed.

"Do you want more of that black stone?" Ning Zhaofeng asked.

"Hmm... I am thinking of making a dagger from it. Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Father, can we go to the realm by ourselves?" Ning Shoukai asked.

Ning Zhaofeng was silent. He did not know the answer. No one had ever tried to go without the family quota.

"It is okay... I can ask someone else to collect it for me." Bai Xifeng stated.

Shanghai Pavillion will probably be going to the Sky Night Realm as well. So, she would ask Si Yingjie to get the obsidian stone. Then, she remembered something.

"Here you are." Bai Xifeng gave the Shanghai Pavillion’s token to Ning Zhaofeng stated.

"This is?" Ning Zhaofeng looked at the token.

"Shanghai Pavillion will be holding an auction. You should go and check it." Bai Xifeng said.

"How do you know about that?" Ning Zhaofeng asked.

Bai Xifeng just smiled without answering it.

Ning Zhaofeng understood that Bai Xifeng did not want to answer it. However, he owned Bai Xifeng for this matter. Anyone who wanted to participate in the auction needed to pay a certain fee to get the token. Not to mention, when he looked at the token that Bai Xifeng gave him was a VVIP token.

"Thank you, Xifeng." Ning Zhaofeng put the matter behind him and thanked Bai Xifeng.

"You’re welcome, Uncle Ning." Bai Xifeng replied.

....

The next day, Bai Xifeng woke up and got ready to go to Xie Mansion. Ning Shoukai was waiting outside her room. They ate breakfast first together with Ning Zhaofeng and Ruan Chu. Only then, they went to Xie Mansion which was only a few blocks from Ning Mansion.

They did not use a carriage since it was within walking range. When they arrived there, the servant asked who they were. Bai Xifeng told them. The servants told them to wait there while one of them went inside and informed the master about their arrival. So, they waited for about 5 minutes before someone came back.

It was Xie Lanying. She greeted them with a smile.

"Xifeng, Shoukai, welcome to my house." Xie Lanying said. "Father and mother want to see you, Xifeng. Let’s meet them first."

"Sure." Bai Xifeng nodded.

They went to the main hall. Xie Lanying’s parent, Xie Yaoting and Zeng Wanyuan were smiling when they stepped into the main hall.

"Sir Long... Long time no see." Xie Yaoting greeted Bai Xifeng.

"Father, I already told you that the name is the fake one. His real name is Bai Xifeng." Xie Lanying corrected her father’s mistake.

"Oh... I forget about that." Xie Yaoting laughed.

Bai Xifeng was confused a little bit. She remembered that Xie Yaoting was different.

Xie Lanying leaned closer and whispered something to her. "You might be surprised seeing my father like this. However, it is his true nature. The one you saw before was caused by my mother’s sickness."

Bai Xifeng nodded. Seeing his beloved wife lay on the bed feeling sick and did not know the cause, might cause stress for Xie Yaoting making his personality changed. Since his wife had already recovered, he changed to the previous one.

Zeng Wanyuan looked at Bai Xifeng with a gentle smile. "So, you are the one who saved me. Thank you, Sir Bai."

"I am glad that you have recovered." Bai Xifeng stated.

"By the way, what happened to Zeng Wenqian and her daughter?" Bai Xifeng was curious about that.

Xie Yaoting and Xie Lanying’s faces turned grim while Zeng Wanyuan’s face showed a bit of sadness.

"We investigated the matter regarding the poison. It was indeed Zeng Wenqian who poisoned my wife. However, when I asked the reason why she did that, she replied that she just wanted to replace her sister to be my wife. How ridiculous that was." Xie Yaoting snorted.

"Did you ask her where did she get the poison?" Bai Xifeng became interested.

"I did ask her but she just told me that someone who was unfamiliar to her gave him. That person told her that the poison was his creation and wanted to get tested on humans. So, he gave it to Zeng Wenqian. However, Zeng Wenqian never met him after that." Xie Yaoting asked.

"Look like that person is a mad person. Who would go around and give the person that he created to someone who he did not know?" Bai Xifeng rolled her eyes.

"Since we can not find any clue about that person, we can not do anything." Xie Yaoting sighed.
