Noticing Bai Hanyun’s interest toward Er Bai and the others, Yi Bai added, "Fairy Bai, the three of them are this subordinate’s biological younger sisters."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, she looked at Yi Bai in surprise. "You are siblings?"
"Yes." Yi Bai nodded, then paused for a second before continuing, "This subordinate’s hotown was hit by a great flood ten years ago. We lost our family mbers and were saved by the Master. Since then, we decided to follow Master and joined the Feng Clan’s shadow guards."
Bai Hanyun looked at Yi Bai’s calm expression, but she knew that those simple words held more pain and hardship than she could imagine.
’Ten years ago... These three should only be three years old, and Yi Bai must also be just a child. How hard it was for her to protect her younger sisters while surviving the disaster?’
Looking at Er Bai and the others, Bai Hanyun’s gaze softened as she said, "The ground is cold. You three should stand up first."
"Thank you, Fairy Bai," the three replied, then stood up.
Seeing that the sun had co out, Bai Hanyun turned to Yi Bai and asked, "Have you eaten?"
The mont Yi Bai heard this question, her eyes lit up. She shook her head and quickly answered, "Not yet."
Bai Hanyun chuckled at her eagerness. "Then, would you like to join ?"
When the triplets heard this, Er Bai secretly pulled Yi Bai’s sleeve, hinting for her to refuse.
Yi Bai ignored Er Bai. Clasping her fists, she excitedly replied, "Yes. Thank you, Fairy Bai."
Receiving her positive answer, Bai Hanyun asked again, "Are there other shadow guards around? If so, can you invite them to join us?"
"Yes, Fairy Bai." Yi Bai nodded, then turned to Er Bai and ordered, "Er Bai, go and call our brothers."
Since Yi Bai had given the order, Er Bai had no choice but to follow. "Yes, Elder Sister."
After Er Bai left, Bai Hanyun turned to Xiao Cui, who was standing to the side with the four maidservants.
Seeing them looking at their feet and waiting in silence, Bai Hanyun asked, "Xiao Cui, do you want to join us for breakfast?"
Without changing her smile, Xiao Cui respectfully replied, "Thank you for your invitation, Fairy Bai, but this servant has already eaten."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun said with a hint of disappointnt in her voice, "I see. Then you may go and attend to your duties."
Xiao Cui curtsied, then said, "Yes, Fairy Bai. If you need anything, you can call for this servant. This servant will take her leave first."
After she said this, the four maidservants curtsied to Bai Hanyun, then followed Xiao Cui.
Leaving the main courtyard, one of the maidservants asked curiously, "Sister Xiao Cui, why didn’t you accept Fairy Bai’s invitation? I heard that the food she bestowed on the shadow guards was very delicious."
Xiao Cui glanced at her and said sternly, "Don’t forget your identity. Fairy Bai is kind and friendly, but that doesn’t an we, as servants, can be presumptuous in front of her."
"Fairy Bai’s existence is not soone like you can compare to. Even our Young Master shows her great respect. How dare you sit with her, a Goddess?"
Hearing this, the maidservant turned pale in an instant. She hurriedly lowered her head and fearfully said, "I was ignorant. Thank you, Sister Xiao Cui, for your guidance."
"Mhm," Xiao Cui humd, then added, "As long as you all know your identities and work hard, the Young Master won’t treat you badly."
She paused for a second, then glanced at the maidservants, "Rember, Fairy Bai is a Goddess sent by Heaven to save and protect us."
"You all had seen the shadow guards. Whoever dares to have other intentions would be executed on the spot."
When her words fell, the four maidservants replied with a hint of fear in their voices, "Yes, Sister Xiao Cui."
While Xiao Cui and the maidservants went about their daily tasks, more than fifty shadow guards had gathered at the main courtyard.
Looking at the fifty male shadow guards and the four female shadow guards before her, Bai Hanyun was speechless.
"..." Heavens, does Feng Wu think I’m being targeted by terrorists? Isn’t this set up a bit too much?
Coming out of her shock, Bai Hanyun looked at Feng Wu and the more than fifty shadow guards, who were looking at her eagerly.
She secretly let out a helpless sigh, then smiled and said, "We don’t have enough tables and chairs here. Can so of you go and borrow so from Uncle Huang?"
Hearing this, Shi Wu raised his hand and proudly said, "Fairy Bai, this subordinate has tables and long chairs."
When he said this, Bai Hanyun looked at him in surprise. "Shi Wu, why do you bring those things around?"
Shi Wu grinned, then replied, "Fairy Bai, it is this subordinate’s task to prepare food for our team."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. ’Oh! Is he a chef?!’
Although she was curious, it was not the right ti to ask Shi Wu to show his skills.
"I see. Then, please take them out." Bai Hanyun said after a mont of thought.
Shi Wu nodded, then waved his hand. In an instant, four long tables and eight long chairs neatly appeared in the spacious courtyard.
Looking at the familiar glass tables and tal chairs, Bai Hanyun blinked twice.
’Aren’t these the tables and chairs I gave the soldiers when they hosted the welcoming banquet for General Wu at the Yu Rong Border Pass’s garrison before?’
She glanced at Shi Wu’s satisfied expression, then thought, ’Got it. Based on how proud Shi Wu was, it must be Xiyan who gave these to Feng Wu’s team.’
Now that they had tables and chairs, it was Bai Hanyun’s turn to take action. With a wave of her hand, the tables were filled with food in an instant.
Seeing those familiar foods and drinks packaging, except for Er Bai, San Bai, and Si Bai, the others were drooling over the boxes of food.
