Chapter 48: There is a demon in Bai Mansion...

In the side hall of the Bai Mansion.

The head of the Bai family sat on a tea chair, holding a cup of tea and brewing it slowly.

Not far away, two servants stood by and reported on the recent losses of the Bai family.

Father Bai frowned and got angry from time to time, until finally, he slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Have all the people from the Dawn Chamber of Commerce withdrawn?"

A few days ago, he was tricked into leaving the mountain and went to the neighboring city. During that time, the Bai family suffered a dense attack like raindrops, and encountered an accident on the way back. If it weren't for the rescue of the young friend of the Mu family, the damage to the Bai family this time would probably be incalculable.

"They all withdrew. As soon as the master came back, they all withdrew yesterday." The servant said respectfully.

Father Bai snorted coldly, "Merchants are merchants, and they fall quickly on the fence."

Although he was a crude and reckless man, Father Bai was still very calm and knew that going to war with the Dawn Chamber of Commerce and the Gongsun family at the same time was purely courting death.

Their enemies, from the beginning to the end, were only the Gongsun family.

"Okay, you all leave."

Father Bai waved his hand and dismissed the two servants.

He pinched his brows, thinking of how he would have to deal with such a big mess next, and felt a headache.

"Is Ruoxi still in the room?" Father Bai asked, looking at the maid beside him.

"The young lady has been practicing in the room since she came back today. I think she should hope to pass the sect assessment in a few days." The maid said respectfully.

Father Bai sighed and shook his head.

What hope of passing the sect assessment is just an excuse. With his daughter's level, it is not difficult to enter a sect.

That child simply doesn't know how to face them.

Because of his wife's matter.

It seems that... I should find a time to have a good talk with her.

But the wife is really, forcing her daughter to marry into the Mu family when she was away. It's no wonder that her daughter's attitude has become so cold now.

Since returning, Father Bai has figured it out. Since the engagement with the Ye family has been cancelled, it is her freedom to choose whoever she likes in the future.

But it is better to marry someone of equal status, so as not to live a hard life after marrying.

While thinking, Father Bai said to the maid: "Let the young lady come to the side hall. I have something to talk to her about."

After all, she is his daughter. It would be better to let her know some things.

Watching the maid bow slightly and turn away, Father Bai tapped the edge of the chair with his fingertips, and his thoughts were a little scattered.

…

The maid walked along the corridor of the Bai Mansion towards Bai Ruoxi's boudoir, and unknowingly came to the door of the room.

She knocked on the door gently.

Dongdong.

"Miss, the master asked you to go to the side hall to find him."

There was no sound in the room. The maid couldn't help but wonder, and raised her hand again and knocked on the door gently, and tentatively called out: "Miss...?"

There seemed to be a slight commotion in the room.

The maid realized something was wrong, looked puzzled, and cautiously pushed open the door, saying, "Miss, I'm coming in."

Pushing open the door, I saw Bai Ruoxi, who was wearing a white dress, sitting on the bed with one leg, revealing a small section of her snow-white calf under the white dress, and her jade feet wrapped in a pair of white short socks.

Her face was extremely beautiful, and her expression was as cold and clear as usual, but for some reason, there was a faint blush on her white face, and a trace of panic in her eyes that had never been there before.

Bai Ruoxi raised her head slightly, her expression was calm and indifferent, and said, "I was just practicing, which consumed some of my energy. You go back first, I will go to see my father later."

Although her expression was calm, there was obviously a little panic in her tone.

"Yes."

The maid had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more. She lowered her head slightly, backed out of the room, and closed the door by the way.

Mu Zhian floated down from the ceiling beam, looked at the girl who was stroking her chest and slowly breathing a sigh of relief, and smiled: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no need for me to hide deliberately."

With the status of the Mu family in Tianxuan City, even if the maid just found out, she would not say anything.

The maid was at most surprised to see him in the room.

After all, the eldest lady of the Bai family had never invited a man to her boudoir, let alone stayed there for such a long time.

Bai Ruoxi sat in front of the dressing table, combing her slightly messy hair in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the boy who walked behind her in the mirror, and said in a clear voice:

"If people know about it, there will be a lot of rumors in Tianxuan City, which is not good for you."

Once the news of Mu Zhian in Bai Ruoxi's boudoir spreads, it is believed that rumors such as "the eldest young master of the Mu family threatened Bai Ruoxi" will soon appear.

Mu Zhian is such a bad boy in people's minds. Not to mention the people of Tianxuan City, Bai Ruoxi has always had such an impression of Mu Zhian in the past, so at the beginning, she looked down on the eldest son of the Mu family from the bottom of her heart.

However, the contact during this period of time made the girl gradually ignore Mu Zhian's past behaviors.

Love is always blind.

She combed her black hair that fell like a waterfall in front of the bronze mirror, and then adjusted her collar, then bit her rouge and reapplied the rouge that had been lost on her lips.

It has to be said that this rouge-biting action was indeed very elegant and attractive, so much so that Mu Zhian's eyes couldn't help but fall on Bai Ruoxi, who was applying a little pink in front of the bronze mirror.

After patching up the rouge, Bai Ruoxi stood up, turned around and was about to leave the room.

But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into the young man standing behind her. Mu Zhian stared into her eyes and put his hands on her shoulders.

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously took half a step back and bumped into the dressing table behind her.

She tilted her head slightly, with two blushes on her flawless face, her eyes flickered slightly, and whispered: "Stop making trouble, I have something to do and I have to go to the side hall..."

Mu Zhian stared at the girl's side face and said in a soft voice: "The last time, it won't take long."

Before he could fully experience it, he was interrupted by the maid midway. At this moment, Mu Zhian was naturally still a little unfinished.

Bai Ruoxi raised her head, looked at him helplessly and shyly, and said, "Wait until I come back—"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhian had already sealed her lips again.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes widened slightly, her hands were hanging in the air, as if she wanted to push him away, but she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

After struggling internally for a short time, her eyes gradually became blurred, until finally her hands hooked around Mu Zhian's neck.

Yes, it was just a kiss and it was over soon...

As for the rouge, just apply it again later.

…

After re-applying the rouge, Bai Ruoxi left the room. Before leaving, she told Mu Zhian not to run around.

The Baifu at this moment is not like before. If Mu Zhian leaves the room, he may be discovered soon.

When Bai Ruoxi walked to the door of the room, she glanced at Mu Zhian uneasily and reminded: "Just now, the aura of heaven has purified the aura around this room into aura that can be directly incorporated into the cauldron. , I’ll be back after you meditate for half an hour, don’t run around.”

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Bai Ruoxi smiled lightly, and the strand of black hair hanging down gave her a lazy air. After nodding, she turned around and left the room, closing the door behind her.

"I didn't expect that one day I would meditate in a girl's room..." Mu Zhian watched Bai Ruoxi's graceful back disappear from the field of vision, then looked around at the abundant spiritual energy around him, and couldn't help but sighed secretly.

Thinking back to Bai Ruoxi's attitude towards him in the carriage some time ago, and then thinking about his attitude today, this feeling is really quite subtle.

While Mu Zhian was feeling emotional, he couldn't help but recall the beautiful scene just now.

All I can say is that Rouge tastes really good.

While he was thinking, he looked at the several exquisite small boxes placed on the dressing table, which contained all kinds of rouges, ranging from dark to light colors.

Let's try a different flavor next time... Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, looked at the abundant spiritual energy around him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly with emotion.

It is indeed the Qi of Heaven. This kind of purification speed is almost astonishingly fast.

It's just a pity that this thing only follows the very lucky people.

Mu Zhian shook his head and thought no more.

He sat cross-legged on the bedside and was about to re-enter the cultivation state.

At this time, he seemed to catch some strange smoke out of the corner of his eye. Mu Zhian subconsciously raised his head, looking past the window and landing in a certain direction in the yard.

These mixed auras were invisible and intangible after being purified, but in the direction of the yard, he clearly saw a wisp of pink smoke rising.

This is... evil spirit.
