Patting the captain on the shoulder, Feng Xiyan said, "Well done. With so many newcors, you are doing a good job securing the supplies. Rember not to let unauthorized personnel enter without permission."
Being praised by Feng Xiyan, the captain straightened his back and clasped his fist. "Yes, Great General! This subordinate will do his best to guard the supplies!"
After saying that, he called over a soldier and ordered, "Brother, please show the Great General the empty warehouses."
The soldier, already nervous standing before Feng Xiyan and Zhan Qi, grew even more anxious when he noticed all the generals and tribe leaders watching him.
Swallowing hard, he clasped his sweaty fists and said, "Great General, please co with this subordinate."
"Mhm, lead the way," Feng Xiyan calmly said.
With the soldier leading them, they soon arrived at the empty warehouses.
Gesturing to the right, the soldier said, "Great General, those are the empty warehouses used to store food and dried supplies."
Then he gestured to the left and added, "Those doors lead to the underground warehouses for vegetables and fruits."
Listening to his explanation, Feng Xiyan nodded. "Mhm. Thank you for leading the way. You may return to your post."
"Yes, Great General." The soldier bowed and then hurried back to his station.
After the soldier left, Feng Xiyan walked into one of the empty warehouses and thought, ’Yun’er, I’m ready. But how do I receive the goods?’
When Bai Hanyun heard this, she realized that Feng Xiyan didn’t know how to summon the Yin Mirror and said, "Feng Xiyan, you can summon the Yin Mirror by tapping the red mark on your wrist twice."
Following her instruction, Feng Xiyan pretended to take sothing out of his sleeve pocket while tapping the red mark on his wrist twice.
Tap. Tap.
The mont he tapped it, he felt the red mark grow warm. A second later, a golden light shot out from it.
When Feng Xiyan looked up, the Yin Mirror had already appeared in front of him, hovering in the air. The second Feng Xiyan saw this, his eyes flickered with surprise, but his expression remained calm.
As soon as Feng Xiyan summoned the Yin Mirror, the surface of the Yang Mirror brightened, and an image reflected on it.
Seeing Feng Xiyan’s handso face appear on the Yang Mirror’s surface, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. "Feng Xiyan, can you see or hear ?"
Feng Xiyan heard her question just as the golden light around the Yin Mirror faded. When he saw Bai Hanyun’s face reflected on the Yin Mirror’s surface, he froze.
’She looks very cute today...’
Lost in thought, he was slow to react.
Bai Hanyun tilted her head slightly and muttered in confusion, "Can’t he hear ? Did the Yin Mirror malfunction? Or was it the Yang Mirror?"
While she was puzzled, Zhan Qi, who stood two steps behind Feng Xiyan, suddenly exclaid in shock, "It’s—It’s Fairy Bai! Great General, it’s Fairy Bai!"
Thanks to Zhan Qi’s shout, Feng Xiyan’s thoughts snapped back to reality. Glancing at him, Feng Xiyan said, "General Zhan, please calm down."
Realizing his loss of composure, Zhan Qi quickly lowered his voice and scratched the back of his head shyly. "Great General, this subordinate was rude. Please forgive ."
Turning back to the Yin Mirror, Feng Xiyan smiled and said softly, "Yun’er, I miss you."
Bai Hanyun was stunned by his shocking words. Hearing Feng Xiyan say that through the mirror was one thing. But seeing his face as he said it made her heart race uncontrollably.
A suspicious blush slowly spread from Bai Hanyun’s cheeks to her ears and neck. She coughed lightly and muttered shyly, "There are other people here. Feng Xiyan, can’t you be more serious?"
When Feng Xiyan heard that, his eyes brightened, and he asked with a hint of anticipation in his voice, "Then can I say it when no one’s around?"
Bai Hanyun was speechless when she heard that question. "..."
She was about to say no, but when she saw the look of expectation in Feng Xiyan’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
’Bai Hanyun, you’re such a loser! When will you stop falling for his face?!’
After scolding herself, Bai Hanyun sighed and muttered shyly, "Well... if you want to, then go ahead."
Receiving her consent, Feng Xiyan was so happy he couldn’t stop smiling. ’Great! I’m one step closer to her again!’
While Feng Xiyan was quietly celebrating his victory, Bai Hanyun noticed the other generals and nine strangers walking into the warehouse.
Knowing this was not a good ti to talk about private matters with Feng Xiyan, she said, "Feng Xiyan, I’m going to send the supplies over now."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan rembered what the soldier had said earlier. Looking at Bai Hanyun through the Yin Mirror, he asked, "Yun’er, are you sending vegetables and fruits again today?"
Not knowing why he asked that, Bai Hanyun nodded. "Yes, fruits and vegetables are included in today’s delivery. Why are you asking about this?"
"We have separated the storage for vegetables, fresh at, and fruits from the other supplies. I’m currently in the warehouse for dried goods. Yun’er, can you send the other supplies first?" Feng Xiyan asked.
After listening to him, Bai Hanyun suddenly rembered that the ancient world didn’t have frozen warehouses to keep produce fresh for long. Instead, they used underground storage to keep the temperature low and extend shelf life.
With this in mind, Bai Hanyun nodded. "Sure. Then I will send the other supplies first."
Feng Xiyan nodded, then turned around and instructed, "Everyone, please step outside so you won’t get hurt."
At his words, the generals imdiately left the warehouse without a word, while the nine tribe leaders remained confused.
Seeing them still standing there, Zhan Qi quickly pulled Rong Hou and said, "Hurry up and get out if you don’t want to die."
Though confused, Rong Hou and the other tribe leaders quickly followed Zhan Qi when they saw the generals rushing out in such a hurry.
To make those brave generals so nervous, whatever was about to happen must be terrifyingly powerful.
