The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 163: Admire Her

They stopped their carriage after finding the river. Hu Meifeng was confused as to why they were stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"Go and take a look if there are fishes in the river or not. Catch some if you can." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng began to take out the pot and other equipment for cooking. As usual, Xiao Li would take over the cooking task.

After a while, Yu Nianzu and Yu Xiaohui came back with a basket of fish.

"Wow, it is a lot. How do you catch these many in a short time?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Nianzu used his lightning. One second, the fish floated at the surface of the river." You Xiaohui stated.

Bai Xifeng was speechless. Then she asked. "You mean all of the fish are dead now?"

"No, Master... I just use a tiny of my lightning. I am sure that the fish will be waking up again." Yu Nianzu said.

"Are you sure about that?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Yu Nianzu thought a little. He was not so sure anymore. "Probably."

"Hmm... Let’s just pray for the fish." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Then, Xiao Li and Yu Xiaoqing began to prepare the food. Hu Meifeng wanted to help too but got rejected by both of them after Hu Meifeng made a mess while cutting the onion.

So, she joined Bai Xifeng watching them prepare the food. As for Yu Nianzu, he went to take care of the horses, giving them food and water. The horses became fond of him.

"Master, why do we need to stop here to eat? Why can’t we rush to the next town?" Hu Meifeng asked.

Hu Meifeng thought they would just have a quick dinner before going to the next town. However, it seemed they were not in a rush.

"Huh? We are going to stay overnight here." Bai Xifeng answered.

"What? Here?" Hu Meifeng was shocked.

"Hmm... The next town is quite far from here. Even if we depart now, we will arrive at the next town in the morning." Bai Xifeng said.

"How could we stay overnight here?" Hu Meifeng asked.

She knew that this place was not safe at all. There might be beasts lurking around or people who might have bad intentions toward them.

Hu Meifeng looked at others. It seemed they were not worried at all. She really wondered if it was the correct decision to follow this girl or not.

Bai Xifeng stood up. She began to do something.

"What is she doing?" Hu Meifeng asked while watching Bai Xifeng doing something that she did not understand.

"Oh, Master is setting up an array to protect ourselves for tonight." Yu Xiaohui just returned from taking some water that needed to be used for cooking.

"Setting an array? She is an array master at such a young age?" Hu Meifeng was surprised.

"Hmm..." Yu Xiaohui nodded.

"I see." Hu Meifeng looked at Bai Xifeng full of admiration.

After one hour, Bai Xifeng finished setting up an array to protect them for the night. When she returned to them, she could see that Hu Meifeng’s look at her had been changed. It was full of admiration.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I am a woman." Bai Xifeng crossed her arms protecting her chest from Hu Meifeng. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Hu Meifeng coughed. She did not mean it that way. She just admired her as an array master.

"Master, she might admire you because you are an array master." Yi Xiaohui stepped forward clarifying that fact.

"Oh... I see." Bai Xifeng was relieved.

Hu Meifeng was a bit speechless. Why did Bai Xifeng think that way? She was a woman too.

"Master, do you think I can learn to be an array master too?" Hu Meifeng asked in a joking tone.

However, she never thought that Bai Xifeng would respond like this.

"Hmm... You can be anything as long as you work hard to achieve it. Do you just want to learn it?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Hu Meifeng was shocked. She grew up in a patriarchal family where women had no high place in the family. Everything would go to his little brother first.

She was dreaming of being an array master. When she told her mother, she got scolded by her mother for having such a ridiculous dream.

Her mother told her that she should not imagine much. She should prioritise her younger brother and should not be more excellent than her younger brother.

As her mother said, she prioritised her younger brother. However, her family did not appreciate her and sold her to the Xue Family for power and money. She was disappointed with her family and decided to run away.

"Yes. I want to learn it." Hu Meifeng nodded.

"Hmm... You can learn it together with Xiao Li. I will be teaching you some basics tonight." Bai Xifeng said.

"Thank you, Master." Hu Meifeng began to kowtow Bai Xifeng.

However, before her forehead touched the ground, Bai Xifeng stopped her. She had been pulled by Bai Xifeng to stand up.

"Never easily kneel or bow to someone. Even that someone is me. I don’t like that. Understand?" Bai Xifeng said. She turned to others. "You too."

"Yes, Master." They nodded.

The dinner was ready. They ate the food. Xiao Li and Yu Xiaoqing cooked some fish stew and grilled fish. It was delicious.

After dinner and cleaning, they began to do their thing. Yu Xiaohui and Yu Xiaoqing started to practise their pharmacist skills. Yu Nianzu started to study armament.

As promised, Bai Xifeng began to teach Xiao Li and Hu Meifeng about array and formation.

They were safe inside the array. Without knowing other people decided to stay nearby too. However, their luck was not so good since some breasts came over and attacked them while they were sleeping.

They had to fight until dawn. The beasts ran away. They were exhausted after battling with the beast.

While they were resting, they suddenly smelled a delicious smell. They knew it was food.

They were looking around to see if there were anyone around who cooking. But they did not see anyone.

They thought they were having hallucinations after tiring themselves fighting with the beast. Until they saw some people suddenly appear out of nowhere.

They were startled and became alerted. And pointing their weapons to the people.

Bai Xifeng and others were also startled to see people here. They did not know there were people around.

"Who are you? Why do you suddenly appear out of nowhere?" A man from the group asked.

"We are here first." Bai Xifeng said.

"Bullshit. We are here all night fighting with the beasts. If you are here, why do you not fight with the beast too?" Another one shouted.

"An array?" A middle-aged man asked.

"What? There is an array here?" Another man from the group was surprised.

"Hmm... It is an array. They have just dismantled the array. That is why they suddenly appeared in front of us." The middle-aged man said again.

They looked at the small group. Two men and 4 women.

"You guess right." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"We apologize for shouting a rude comment to you." The middle-aged man said.

"It is okay." Bai Xifeng looked at the people in the group.

Some people had been injured.

"Why don’t you treat him?" Bai Xifeng pointed at a man who had been lying down grunting in pain.

The middle-aged man had a bad expression. It was not like they did not want to save him but they were not a pharmacist. They could not treat him.

"Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, go and help him." Bai Xifeng ordered.

Yu Xiaohui and Yu Xiaoqing followed her master’s order. They quickly approached the man who had been seriously injured.

Yu Xiaoqing took out a bottle of elixir from her Qiankun Bag. The middle-aged man was surprised to see the Qiankun Bag. It seemed these people were not normal.

The two girls seemed to be pharmacists. Someone must be an array master. A skilful array master.

Yu Xiaoqing poured the elixir into the man’s mouth to stabilise the man’s condition for further treatment.

Yu Xiaohui opened the man’s clothes without getting embarrassed about that. Bai Xifeng stated an injured person was not a man or woman. It was just a body that needed treatment. So, they did not need to feel embarrassed while treating the patient.
