Bai Yanran's father and the people from the Xiao family had waited for two days. But the inn was guarded both before and after, and none of them saw Ming Shu.
Father Bai was so anxious that he paced back and forth in front of the inn while people from the Xiao family stood on the sidelines. They just minded their own business and didn't violate the boundary between them.
When the two sides unintentionally had some eye contact with each other, they would move away quickly as if seeing something they disliked.
The two families had been rivals for many years. Now that they gathered here together, it was really a bit awkward.
"Lord, Lord, the Miss is showing crazy symptoms again!"
The servant of the Bai family arrived in a rush. He couldn't even breathe and his face was still a little restless. It seemed the Miss he was talking about was really making a huge mess.
Father Bai's face turned black. He looked at the inn and waved as he gritted his teeth. "Go, let's go upstairs to invite her."
He didn't believe he would ever be able to meet that person from Death Valley. The Bai family was not a small force or school, either, but now he was left outside and didn't even see anyone from the Valley. It was beginning to annoy him.
"Lord..." Others of the Bai family stopped him. "If we offend the people from Death Valley, the Miss might not have the chance to be treated by them."
At this time, Father Bai felt a mixture of anger and anxiety within. He went straight upstairs despite the persuasion.
Seeing this, the Xiao family's people also followed him up. The inn was originally a spacious place, but with these people standing inside, it suddenly became crowded.
...
Liu Feng was guarding the door. Seeing so many people coming forward aggressively, he immediately revealed a weapon. There was no expression on his cold face, but his meaning was obvious. If they dared to step closer, he would not be polite to them.
Father Bai endured his anger and shouted with his fist slamming into his other hand, "The lord of the Bai family is here to pay a visit."
The Xiao family was standing behind him and they didn't take further action. With Father Bai as the provoker, they couldn't be more willing to watch.
Liu Feng didn't move. He peered at the people before him like a statue.
Father Bai was just feigning politeness and didn't even bend his body, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed door.
Time seemed to have a voice, ticking and walking.
Every sound pierced his heart.
Squeak—
They didn't know how long it was before the door was slowly pushed open. The servant girl they had met several times before came out from inside, her hands folded in front of her body. She walked to Liu Feng with small and unhurried steps. Liu Feng then put away his weapon and stepped back slightly.
Hui Xue slightly bowed. "Lord Bai, I'm sorry but the Miss is not here, you won't see her today."
"How's that possible! My people didn't see her come out," Lord Bai blurted out in a loud voice. "Is it that the Miss inside is unwilling to meet me? What requirements does she have? She need only open her mouth, as long as she can cure my little daughter, I won't let her down."
As long as a person could be bribed, they would not be difficult to deal with.
But, obviously, this time Father Bai hit a nail house.
