Everyone knew Feng Ninghe and Sixth Master were close friends. Now, Sixth Master was bringing a large chest of medicinal herbs to show favor to Feng Qingcheng. Such an honor was not something everyone could possess.
Feng Tongtong arrogantly lifted her head, her gaze sharp, and looked at Feng Ninghe with a hint of provocation: "Eldest Sister, although Sixth Master is your close friend, in the end, he still tries to curry favor with Second Sister."
Madam Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, her face full of joy: "Qingcheng, at such a young age, has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. There isn't another woman as capable as her in the Lin Kingdom."
Xiao Zhao rolled its eyes in annoyance, its fur clearly bristling. It let out a soft hum.
Master, your cultivation reached Nascent Soul three stars a hundred years ago. How can this insignificant Feng Qingcheng compare to you?
If you hadn't wasted a hundred years on cultivation, your current cultivation would allow you to walk sideways in Jinling.
The Empress of the Lin Kingdom was a rare cultivation prodigy of the millennium. It was precisely because of this that she was schemed against and ended up in the Li Kingdom...
Feng Ninghe did not speak further, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
What Xiao Zhao said was indeed the truth. Feng Qingcheng's aptitude was passable, but far inferior to hers.
Even if she were to cultivate anew, her cultivation speed would be incomparable to ordinary people.
Feng Qingcheng swayed her graceful waist as she slowly walked forward. She stopped as if thinking of something and looked at Feng Ninghe: "Since you and Sixth Master are close friends, why don't you come along and say hello?"
It sounded like a greeting, but in reality, she wanted to seize the opportunity to mock Feng Ninghe.
Even if Feng Ninghe and Sixth Master were close friends, so what? Sixth Master still turned around and came to her to curry favor?
More importantly, she had never met Sixth Master before, yet he was so attentive.
"Alright."
Feng Ninghe agreed without hesitation, stood up boldly, and walked towards the main hall.
Feng Tongtong followed out with the intention of watching a good show, and did not forget to wave to everyone: "Sixth Master has always been mysterious, and opportunities to meet him are rare. Let's go and see too."
Her true intention was to mock Feng Ninghe.
Madam Zhang naturally understood the intentions of these two daughters, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards, and her pace quickened: "Since Sixth Master is so courteous, our Feng family should naturally entertain him well."
"Senior Brother Di, it's actually Sixth Master of the Willow Pavilion! This person has quite a reputation in Jinling. Let's go and see too!"
Wang Junzhao's eyes lit up instantly, and the gloom in his heart was completely dispelled.
Sixth Master was a famous handsome man, rumored to be able to rival the Underworld King of Xiyou Continent.
Di Wenbin was also interested in this Sixth Master and quickly nodded in agreement: "Sixth Master is like a dragon that appears without its head and a phoenix that shows its tail, even more mysterious than that Underworld King of Xiyou Continent. Since we have the opportunity to see him today, we must go and have a look."
Su Hongxiu was leaning quietly against a tree, his well-defined fingers casually fanning a bone fan.
Su Xian was still by his side.
The man stood with an elegant and unrestrained posture, like a scenic painting, making people reluctant to disturb him.
Feng Qingcheng secretly observed him, her eyes shining slightly.
The rumors were true. Sixth Master was handsome, but in terms of appearance, the Underworld King was the most outstanding.
However, being able to befriend Sixth Master was also a good thing.
"Feng Qingcheng greets Sixth Master."
Feng Qingcheng walked forward boldly, her body slightly inclined, and performed a graceful bow.
As she bowed, the fair skin of her slender neck was fully revealed.
She was confident that any man would be captivated by her.
Su Hongxiu's expression was serene. He wore a red robe that fluttered in the wind, exuding an extraordinary aura. His gentle face had smooth lines, but his eyes held a hint of coldness.
"You are Feng Qingcheng?"
Su Hongxiu fanned his bone fan, lazily casting his gaze upon Feng Qingcheng.
Sensing the man's gaze on her, Feng Qingcheng tucked away a stray strand of hair, her every move exuding elegance.
She slowly nodded and said softly, "That's right, I am Feng Qingcheng. Speaking of which, I must thank Sixth Master. You've sent me such a grand gift just as I've returned. I don't know how to thank you."
Even a few herbs from that large chest of medicinal herbs could fetch a good price.
After falling into the pond, with Si Xinxin's urging, many people came to her rescue. Even though she didn't want to pay the hundred thousand spirit stones, she had no choice but to do so.
With this chest of medicinal herbs, it just made up for her deficit.
A hint of coldness appeared on Su Hongxiu's gentle face. He raised an eyebrow and quietly looked at the woman before him: "Second Miss is too polite. You don't need to thank me."
"This... Sixth Master, you are so courteous, how can I not thank you?"
Feng Qingcheng wore a gentle smile, the smile in her eyes holding a deeper meaning. She subtly glanced back at the crowd behind her.
Not far away, Feng Guangyao, Madam Zhang, and others stood by.
The younger generation of the Feng family, upon learning of Sixth Master's arrival, eagerly came forward to observe.
"You naturally don't need to thank me, because that chest of medicinal herbs was not for you."
Su Hongxiu opened his mouth, his gentle yet imposing voice slowly falling.
If Feng Qingcheng's maid hadn't come to express her thanks, he wouldn't have known that Feng Qingcheng had pocketed the medicinal herbs.
His things were not something everyone could covet. Feng Qingcheng was not qualified to touch his things.
Therefore, Su Hongxiu decided to come in person.
Feng Qingcheng's expression immediately stiffened, and her body became rigid. She looked at the man before her in disbelief: "Not for me?"
As if realizing something, she quickly turned her gaze to the maid beside her.
When the medicinal herbs were sent to the Feng residence, the maid had immediately reported it.
This glance made the maid tremble and hastily speak out: "Second Miss, the person sent by Sixth Master indeed said that this chest of medicinal herbs was for Miss Feng."
"That is true."
Su Xian stepped forward and explained: "Among the three young ladies of the Feng family, only Feng Ninghe is close to Sixth Master. These medicinal herbs were naturally for Feng Ninghe. Who would have thought that Second Miss would have misappropriated them."
Feng Qingcheng had just returned, and Sixth Master had sent a large chest of medicinal herbs. He hadn't explicitly said who it was for, only referring to "Miss Feng," so everyone assumed it was for Feng Qingcheng.
The explanation made Feng Qingcheng lose face.
The onlookers were also shocked.
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Zhao burst into laughter, its sapphire eyes filled with mockery. It happily rolled on Feng Ninghe's shoulder, showing its belly.
Master, Feng Qingcheng is truly hilarious.
She got slapped in the face this time!
Xiao Zhao's crisp laughter echoed throughout the mansion.
Hearing the laughter, Feng Qingcheng's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat. She wished she could tear this foolish beast to shreds.
She was the Second Miss of the Feng family, and the most outstanding disciple of the Immortal Sect. She had been pampered since childhood. No one here dared to mock her. Yet, this stupid beast dared to jump out and laugh heartily at this moment!
The Feng family members didn't even dare to breathe, their gazes occasionally falling on Xiao Zhao.
Madam Zhang glared fiercely at Xiao Zhao and whispered sternly: "Shut up! Feng Ninghe, control your stupid beast!"
