Bai Xixi's expression was immediately caught by Feng Tongtong.
To her, this woman's intense dislike for Feng Ninghe made her the perfect collaborator.
It would be best to deal with Feng Ninghe through someone else's hands.
Seeing that the person beside her was Feng Tongtong, Bai Xixi deliberately lowered her voice: "Third Miss, many distinguished guests are visiting the Bai family today. The Bai family's sons are also here, so we must be cautious."
The implication was that nothing could go wrong on such an occasion.
A hint of a smile appeared between Feng Tongtong's brows, and she nodded calmly in agreement: "Miss Bai, rest assured, as long as we proceed as we discussed beforehand, there will be no problem."
Only then did Bai Xixi nod with satisfaction, a hint of unfathomable depth flashing in her eyes.
She dared not forget the humiliation of the past for a single moment.
Having finally waited for the banquet, she was determined to make Feng Ninghe pay!
At the Bai family's hall.
Old Master Bai, Madam Bai, and several of the Bai family's sons were gathered there.
"Father, Mother, Miss Feng has arrived!"
Bai Niannian's voice reached the room before she did.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze.
They saw Bai Niannian pulling Feng Ninghe's hand and eagerly entering the hall.
Feng Ninghe was dressed in white, her black hair cascading freely, her willow-leaf eyebrows like a crescent moon, and her eyes held a hint of aloofness.
Her appearance was as striking as the midday sun, making people subconsciously ignore the old man Xu behind her.
"Miss Feng."
Madam Bai looked at her with a kind gaze and greeted her politely: "We haven't had a chance to properly thank you for your medical treatment last time. Consider this banquet your home today, and don't be polite."
Feng Ninghe had saved Old Master Bai, and the Bai family was very grateful to her.
She waved her hand dismissively and smiled: "Madam Bai, you are too kind. You have already given me the thank-you gifts, and we have already expressed our gratitude."
After a period of recuperation, Old Master Bai's complexion was ruddy, showing no signs of having recently recovered from a serious illness.
He looked at Feng Ninghe with a hint of admiration: "Miss Feng, at such a young age, you manage the Feng family. Your future is boundless."
As the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, it was natural for her to manage the Duke's Mansion.
Now that even the Feng family had fallen into her hands, one could not hold such a position without considerable ability.
"I am merely a junior, still lacking in experience. Managing the vast Feng family may require the Bai family's assistance in the future."
Feng Ninghe spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
However, a flicker of light flashed in her eyes inadvertently.
The Lin Kingdom was flourishing under her rule, let alone the small Feng family. The principles of governing a country could be applied to managing a family.
Her modesty, however, earned Old Master Bai's respect.
Old Master Bai seemed to recall something and his gaze fell upon the old man Xu behind Feng Ninghe: "This must be Immortal Xu."
Old man Xu nodded generously.
"Immortal Xu?"
Bai Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up as if she had thought of something: "Are you Miss Feng's master? Doesn't that make you even more formidable?"
Old man Xu put away his smile, stroked his goatee with feigned seriousness, and said politely: "The student surpasses the master. My disciple is more formidable than I am."
He was speaking the truth.
Feng Ninghe was far more capable than he was. Of course, he was a fake "master," but that didn't stop him from enjoying himself.
Old Master Bai's eyes showed emotion, and he sighed softly: "Like father, like son. As expected, the Medicine Valley is extraordinary. It is my honor to have your assistance. Let me introduce you to my sons."
Several handsome young men standing nearby smiled and gestured to Feng Ninghe.
The young men were all exceptionally handsome, each with their own unique features. Perhaps nourished by the spiritual energy of the immortal sects, they exuded a faint aura of immortality.
Xiao Zhao clicked his tongue, rubbing his round chin, his sapphire eyes scanning the four young masters of the Bai family.
"Master, the rumors from the outside world are true. The Bai family's young masters are indeed elegant and handsome."
"But if you ask me, the most handsome is still Xin Xin's father. However, the King of Hell is too violent, and his temperament is unpredictable and unfathomable."
Xiao Zhao's murmurs were clearly audible.
Feng Ninghe's mind involuntarily conjured the image of a tall, solitary figure.
In terms of appearance, he was indeed inferior to Si Jianye.
After a moment, her thoughts were interrupted.
"Miss Feng, this is my eldest brother, Bai Feiwen."
Bai Niannian eagerly introduced her brothers: "This is my second brother, Bai Chenyi, this is my third brother, Bai Hongshen, and you have met my fourth brother, so I won't introduce him."
Bai Hongyu subconsciously raised his eyebrows at this remark but said nothing more.
Feng Ninghe greeted everyone politely.
After a brief exchange, Old Master Bai hurried to invite everyone to the banquet: "It's almost time, and all the guests have arrived. We should head to the banquet."
Bai Niannian eagerly led the way, her bright eyes filled with admiration: "Miss Feng, last time things were too sudden, and I didn't have a chance to show you around the Bai family properly. Today, let me be your guide."
Feng Ninghe did not refuse and followed Bai Niannian.
Watching Feng Ninghe's departing figure, Old Master Bai nodded with great satisfaction: "As expected of the Duke of Zhenguo's daughter. The Duke of Zhenguo in heaven must be proud to have such a daughter. It would be wonderful if our Bai family could form a marriage alliance with her."
At such a young age, she inherited the Medicine Valley and the Feng family, and her medical skills were superb. Such a young woman was a catch anywhere.
Madam Bai's brows furrowed slightly with apprehension, and she deliberately lowered her voice: "There are many rumors about this eldest daughter of the Feng family in the outside world. Although she is the victim, we are still in the dark about what happened five years ago. It is still unknown whether this Miss Feng is still pure."
Noble families cared most about their reputation.
Old Master Bai smiled and dismissed her words, his voice hearty: "Can you find another woman in the Li Kingdom with such prowess? This woman is no ordinary person. Even if we fancy her, she may not fancy the Bai family."
The major immortal sects were vying to open their doors to her, eagerly offering their favor. She could enter any sect she wished at any time.
In the Li Kingdom, Feng Ninghe was the first person to receive such treatment.
Her future was immeasurable.
Madam Bai nodded with slight admiration, a subtle gleam in her eyes.
Indeed, a woman like Feng Ninghe, one in ten thousand, could not be found a second time in the Li Kingdom.
If her son were more promising, perhaps the Bai family would have a chance for a marriage alliance with the Feng family...
Bai Niannian led Feng Ninghe around.
Old man Xu, having no leisure for sightseeing, sat down and began eating fruit on his own.
Anyone who came to seek his guidance was dismissed by Old man Xu in a few words.
Not far away, two pairs of eyes were watching the two figures from the shadows.
Bai Xixi, hidden in the darkness, raised her eyebrows subconsciously: "Bai Niannian, this girl who turns her back on her own, is always by her side. It will be difficult for us to make a move."
