"You don’t have any servants. Does the servant boycott you?" Liu Longwei asked.
"What? What makes you think like that?" Bai Xifeng was confused.
"You don’t even have a servant here except for your maid. You have to do the chores by yourself." Liu Longwei stated.
"What? No! I don’t like people coming to my room when I am here. People that I don’t know. So, I told the servant not to co into my courtyard without permission." Bai Xifeng explained.
"Oh." Liu Longwei nodded.
Hou Tingguang walked in, followed by a beautiful woman whom Bai Xifeng had never t before. Bai Xifeng looked at the woman’s chest and her chest. She suddenly felt defeated.
"Hi, Lady Bai, I am Hou ili. Nice to et you." Hou ili smiled sweetly at Bai Xifeng while introducing herself to Bai Xifeng.
Bai Xifeng nodded several tis. "Hmm... Nice to et you, too. Eh, Hou ili? Hou? Are you, by any chance, siblings with him?" She pointed at Hou Tingguang.
Hou ili chuckled. "No. I take that surna because all of His Excellency’s subordinates have that surna." She explained.
"Oh... I see. By the way, he told that you wanted to et . Why?" Bai Xifeng asked Hou ili.
Hou ili glanced at Liu Longwei. She was slightly surprised to hear Bai Xifeng casually call Liu Longwei like that. He probably allowed Bai Xifeng to call him like that because she would be his wife in the future.
"I believe you are looking for these items." Hou ili took out the list.
Bai Xifeng recognised it imdiately. It was the list of items that she needed for her next poison seal breaker.
"Where do you get this?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"I get it from His Excellency." Hou ili said.
Bai Xifeng glared at Liu Longwei once and turned back to Hou ili. "So, what is your point?"
"His Excellency told that you are making the antidote from these items. Can you tell what you are concocting?" Hou ili asked with an excited look.
Bai Xifeng was slightly taken aback.
"She is a Venerable rank poison master." Liu Longwei drank his tea.
"Really?" Bai Xifeng’s eyes imdiately lifted up.
"Yes." Hou ili nodded.
"I want to concoct the poison seal in my body. That is why I am searching for the items in the list." Bai Xifeng stated.
"How many seals that you already broken?" Hou ili asked.
"Three." Bai Xifeng stated.
"So, you drink the poison to break the third seal, did you?" Hou ili looked at Bai Xifeng with complicated eyes.
Liu Longwei, who was listening to their conversation in silence, peeked up. "What did you just say? Drink the poison?"
"Poison seal could only be broken by the poison that has the sa power." Hou ili explained to Liu Longwei.
"So, it is not an elixir?" Liu Longwei asked.
"It is indeed an elixir. Without it, Lady Bai would be falling into sleep without waking up. I believe it already happened to Lady Bai." Hou ili stated.
"Yes. I indeed fell into sleep and did not wake up for a few days until Uncle Su woke up." Bai Xifeng nodded, agreeing with Hou ili’s fact.
"Poison master and pharmacist are quite similar. If soone is talented in pharmacy, she might be talented in poison. It is whether he wants to practice with poison or not. That is his choice." Hou ili stated.
"Sister ili... Can I call you that?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"You can, but I think it is inappropriate. You are the master and I am the servant." Hou ili glanced at Liu Longwei.
If Bai Xifeng called her ’Sister ili’, it would mix up the rank.
"Please. I think we can get along very well." Bai Xifeng blinked her eyes expectantly at Hou ili.
She never got to et soone who liked poison in her past life. So, eting soone who liked the poison and even researched poisons made her feel she had t her soulmate.
"Well... Sure." Hou ili nodded.
Bai Xifeng jumped and hugged Hou ili. Her impression of Hou ili had already changed. Hou ili was surprised when she smiled. It was like having a little sister who liked clinging to her older sister.
Liu Longwei shot Hou ili a glare. How could Bai Xifeng hug Hou ili? Even he, as Bai Xifeng’s fiancé, did not get any chance. Hou ili froze when she saw her lord looking at her like that.
Ignoring Liu Longwei, Bai Xifeng pulled Hou ili to her room to discuss poison. Hou ili was relieved that she did not have to face Liu Longwei right now. So, they began to talk about poisons that they had knowledge about.
Bai Xifeng took out the poison from her poison seal. She could produce the poison that she already had unsealed. Hou ili was surprised.
They talked about that until Xiao Li ca in, asking Bai Xifeng if she wanted to have lunch now. Of course, Bai Xifeng did not refuse. Food was still important. She invited Hou ili to eat together. However, Hou ili refused, telling her that she should have lunch with Liu Longwei.
Bai Xifeng suddenly rembered about Liu Longwei. She asked if Liu Longwei was still outside. Xiao Li nodded. Bai Xifeng walked out, seeing Liu Longwei sleeping at her gazebo. Hou Tingguang was still standing beside the sleeping Liu Longwei in silence.
