Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Misunderstand

"Xifeng, why did Shanghai Pavillion give you the money?" Ning Shoukai asked.

He was surprised to see Si Yingjie give a lot of money to Bai Xifeng.

"Huh? Did I tell you guys?" Bai Xifeng asked back.

"Tell us what?" Ning Shoukai was confused.

"The pills and elixirs that had been auctioned yesterday are all mine." Bai Xifeng dropped the bomb.

"What?" Ning Shoukai was shocked.

"Eh, I really don’t tell you before?" Bai Xifeng thought about that.

"No... I don’t know." Ning Shoukai said.

"Well, now you know." Bai Xifeng grinned. "Let’s stop by at the restaurant. I am craving for some cakes."

They stopped at the restaurant. Both of them entered the restaurant. They sat at the restaurant. A waiter came over with the menu book. He placed the menu book in front of Bai Xifeng and Ning Shoukai.

"Since we are already here, let’s have lunch." Bai Xifeng said.

"Sure." Ning Shoukai said.

They started to choose the food from the menu book. They decided on several foods. The food arrived and they started to eat.

They were talking about the exploration that they were going to go. They were going to go for the exploration three days later. Bai Xifeng was planning to prepare a lot of elixirs in case something happened in the Sky Clear Realm. She hoped she would not need that.

While they were talking, they heard a voice calling for Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng turned around and saw Ning Zhilan and her friends.

"Young Master Bai, are you lying to me when you said you are going to the Shanghai Pavillion?" Ning Zhilan questioned Bai Xifeng.

She sounded like Bai Xifeng was her boyfriend and was cheating on her.

Bai Xifeng lifted up her face from looking at the food to looking at Ning Zhilan. "What?"

"Earlier, you say you are going to Shanghai Pavillion. When we go there, we did not see you at all. Are you lying to us?" Ning Zhilan asked.

"We did go there." Bai Xifeng said.

"But we did not see you there." Ning Zhilan argued.

"Well, I did go there. I don’t have a reason to lie to you. And why does it sound like I need to report to you wherever I go? I am sure that we are not nothing to each other. You are not my wife, fiance, family or friend. You are not even my acquaintance. So, why do I need to inform my whereabouts to you?" Bai Xifeng spoke.

Ning Zhilan was silent. Her eyes were tearing up. Her friends looked at each other. Well, what Bai Xifeng said was true. There was no need for Bai Xifeng to say anything about herself to Ning Zhilan. They did not have any relationship.

Ning Zhilan felt Bai Xifeng was interested in her earlier when they met up this morning. She knew it. The reason why Bai Xifeng spoke such words to her right now was because Ning Shoukai spoke badly about her. She turned her eyes to Ning Shoukai and glared at him.

Ning Shoukai who was watching the situation was confused as to why Ning Zhilan suddenly glared at her.

"Ning Shoukai, how dare you speak badly about me?" Ning Zhilan shouted to Ning Shoukai.

"Huh?" Bai Xifeng’s eyes turned to Ning Shoukai.

"Huh?" Ning Shoukai was confused.

Bai Xifeng turned at Ning Shoukai, wondering if he had done something. Ning Shoukai seemed to understand Bai Xifeng’s look. He shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" Ning Shoukai responded to Ning Zhilan.

"I know you said something about me to Young Master Bai earlier." Ning Zhilan stated.

"Huh?" Ning Shoukai raised his eyebrow.

"You did not want Young Master Bai to like me." Ning Zhilan said.

"Zhilan, let’s stop this." One of her friends tried to convince Ning Zhilan to stop.

People were starting to watch them.

"Let me finish my words." Ning Zhilan ignored her friend’s words. She turned to Bai Xifeng. "Young Master Bai, please don’t believe what Ning Shoukai said to you. He is a liar."

"Shoukai did not say anything about you to me." Bai Xifeng said.

"What? You are lying." Ning Zhilan did not want to believe that.

"Well, even though he said something, I don’t think it has anything to do with me. You and I have no relationship at all." Bai Xifeng said it again.

"It seems Young Miss Ning has feelings for this young man."

"Probably."

"That young man probably disliked Ning Zhilan."

"Ning Zhilan was very brave expressing her feelings to the young man."

"By the way, who is this young man?"

"Yes, I have never seen him before."

"That is Ning Shoukai beside him. He is probably Ning Shoukai’s friend."

"I heard Ning Shoukai is a student of Tianlong School. That is probably his friend from that school."

"That famous school? Wow."

People began to talk.

"Zhilan, let’s leave first." Her friend advised.

"No..." Ning Zhilan refused.

Bai Xifeng ignored Ning Zhilan and continued to eat. She did not want to waste her time dealing with such a woman. Better eating.

"Hmm... I am done." Bai Xifeng said while rubbing her stomach. "Are you done?"

"Yes." Ning Shoukai nodded.

"Let’s go back." Bai Xifeng said.

She totally ignored Ning Zhilan. Ning Zhilan bit her lips as she saw Bai Xifeng ignoring her. She was embarassed and angry.

"I will come back." Ning Zhilan shouted before leaving the restaurant.
