Three days passed in succession. The people coming and going from the estate were all informants from Bu Ye Zhou and the Samsara Palace, yet there was not a single piece of news about Feng Xi Wu.
Lu Qing Wan, who had started with high hopes, was now almost ready to accept the fact that she had misjudged him.
She tapped lightly on the carriage wall. "Li Su, come in and help me change. I need to go to the palace."
One last effort to protect the Xuan Jia Army, as a gesture of her late father's loyalty. From now on, even if this place became a graveyard, she would never return.
Just as she had decided to go to the palace, Li Su arrived far sooner than expected. He did not bring clothes or jewelry, but rather an unfamiliar person.
Lu Qing Wan, having just decided to part ways with Feng Xi Wu, was in an exceptionally foul mood.
Without thinking, she said, "I asked you to help me change. Why did you bring this person? Are you trying to comfort my lonely nights by having him help me change?"
With a *thump*, the person directly knelt on the ground.
"Wang Fei, you overestimate your subordinate. How would I dare to have improper thoughts about Wang Fei."
He quickly denied Lu Qing Wan's frightening words. Only then did he straighten his back and hold a letter above his head with both hands. "Your subordinate, Shen Tang Zhou, is ordered by the Prince to deliver this letter to Wang Fei. Please review it."
Lu Qing Wan scoffed. "Prince, are you playing with me?
Didn't he die long ago? How can he still send me a letter? Are you the Black and White Impermanence?"
Shen Tang Zhou had already heard of his Wang Fei's great reputation from various colleagues. Recently, he had also frequently heard their Prince praise his Wang Fei as being as clever as ice and snow and exceptionally talented.
He had never imagined that the legendary Wang Fei would be like this.
Startled, he knelt on the spot, blinking rapidly, and looked to Li Su for help.
Little did he know that while Lu Qing Wan resented Feng Xi Wu, she also resented his subordinates. At this moment, Li Su was even more bewildered than Shen Tang Zhou, unsure of how he had angered the Wang Fei.
However, it felt wrong to set aside the letter from the Prince, which had finally arrived after such a long time.
So, Li Su mustered his courage and said cautiously, "Wang Fei, why don't you first see what the Prince's letter says, and then decide if you want to believe the Prince is still alive?"
Lu Qing Wan's eyebrows shot up. "You knew he was alive all along?"
Li Su quickly shook his head. "Your subordinate is foolish. Your subordinate only learned the Prince was alive when I saw Shen Tang Zhou."
Lu Qing Wan's anger subsided a little. She had thought she had misjudged the situation and that these people had deceived her!
She opened the letter and was somewhat shocked. She closed her eyes tightly and looked again, confirming she had not misread. She pointed at her own nose in disbelief. "Tian Xuan City, it's mine?"
Shen Tang Zhou honestly replied, "The Prince is inconvenienced to personally protect Wang Fei. Fearing that Wang Fei might be bullied, he ordered his subordinates to take Tian Xuan City and have Wang Fei stay there for a short while.
Once the Prince has settled his affairs, he will come to Tian Xuan City to accompany Wang Fei and seek revenge on her behalf."
Lu Qing Wan, the greedy one, was overjoyed at suddenly obtaining a city. All her bad temper vanished.
She said gleefully, "What about those people from the Bei Ming family? Are they willing to give up Tian Xuan City?"
"It's impossible for them to give it up willingly, but who can they blame when they are outmatched?"
Shen Tang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Lu Qing Wan finally smile.
"The people of Tian Xuan Sect are either dead or captured. Wang Fei can rest assured, no one will bother you again."
Lu Qing Wan was satisfied. "In that case, do I not need to concern myself with the Xuan Jia Army either?"
Shen Tang Zhou nodded. "Tian Xuan City has had considerable reserves over the years. It can support the Xuan Jia Army for several years without a problem.
Additionally, there are many precious medicinal herbs in Tian Xuan City. The Prince has prepared a Bai Xing Lin for you there. The herbs and rooms are all ready, and you can start practicing medicine at any time."
"Tsk, I was planning to beat him up, but now I'm a bit reluctant."
Lu Qing Wan smirked and waggled her finger. "The change of ownership of Tian Xuan City is such a major event, and yet no news has leaked. This means you were acting in secret from the beginning, right?"
Shen Tang Zhou looked perplexed. "The Prince did not wish to expose his identity, so everything was carried out in secret.
Apart from the people of Tian Xuan Sect, no one knows that Tian Xuan City has changed hands."
"That's great."
Lu Qing Wan said gleefully, "I'll keep Tian Xuan City for now. I still want to have a good time playing with Feng Qing Heng in Shang Jing City.
By the way, if you have time, please capture the most formidable hidden guard by Bei Ming Xiao's side for me.
I mustn't forget the enemy my father designated."
Shen Tang Zhou froze. "Wang Fei, you're still staying in Shang Jing?"
"Of course."
Lu Qing Wan said as a matter of course, "Feng Qing Heng has made me suffer so much. Shouldn't I vent my anger?"
It was one thing to be controlled everywhere before, but now that her escape route was secured and she no longer had to worry about the Xuan Jia Army, if she didn't make Feng Qing Heng suffer a little, wouldn't her title as 'Little Devil Lu' be in vain?
As they were talking, Li Qing poked his head in from outside and was startled to see Shen Tang Zhou kneeling on the ground.
Lu Qing Wan instantly regained her serious demeanor. "What is it?"
"Wang Fei, someone claims to be the true owner of Bai Xing Lin and wants to reclaim it!
The two doctors Meng seem to be having some trouble dealing with them. Could you go and take a look?"
Having just received good news, Lu Qing Wan was in a good mood and was not letting this minor matter spoil it. She asked with suspicion, "The true owner of Bai Xing Lin?
What did Meng Tang and his son say?"
Li Qing looked puzzled. "They didn't say anything, just that they built this Bai Xing Lin themselves..."
Before Li Qing could finish, Shen Tang Zhou said weakly, "Wang Fei, your subordinate might know what's going on."
Lu Qing Wan pouted. "You tell me."
"Bai Xing Lin was originally an organization similar to a sect, with branches spread across the continent.
However, in the past hundred years, the headquarters of Bai Xing Lin declined, and those branches gradually separated from the headquarters, left to fend for themselves.
Your subordinate guesses that Wang Fei's successful operation of Bai Xing Lin has attracted the attention of the Bai Xing Lin headquarters, and they've come to claim the fruits of your labor."
Lu Qing Wan glanced at Shen Tang Zhou with amusement. "Claim my fruits?
Aren't they afraid of having the life to claim them but not to eat them?
Did Meng Tang and his son not tell them that Bai Xing Lin is mine now?"
Li Qing cupped his hands. "We don't need Doctor Meng. As soon as he mentioned reclaiming Bai Xing Lin, the employees in the main hall spoke up.
The previous Bai Xing Lin business was bleak, and its current prosperity is entirely due to Wang Fei's miraculous healing skills.
But the other party insisted that Bai Xing Lin is theirs no matter what. If Doctor Meng refused to hand it over, they would go to the Jing Zha Fu to file a complaint.
They would accuse the Regent Wang Fei of using her power to bully others and seize their property."
Hearing this, Shen Tang Zhou's expression darkened. "Wang Fei, Bai Xing Lin is indeed a chain of stores. If the other party is determined to nitpick and play word games, you might be at a disadvantage."
Li Qing nodded in agreement. "That's true. Moreover, the current Jing Zha Yin, Yue Tao, is from the Yue clan and will not help us."
"Yue clan?"
This was a completely new clan to Lu Qing Wan. "Is it the maternal clan of the Empress that Feng Qing Heng hastily appointed?"
