In the entire Bai Family Town, people from the White Jade Escort Agency were everywhere.
Lingfeng followed closely behind Ziren, looking like a burly woman.
Ziren walked gracefully, exuding the elegance of a refined lady.
"Fortunately, we have Mei as our informant; otherwise, if we had entered boldly, we would definitely have been discovered!" Lingfeng glanced around nervously.
"Nursemaid!" Ziren opened her mouth, lightly tapping her forehead. "We are just here to gather information, so we should avoid drawing too much attention. Otherwise, it would be bad if we aroused suspicion!"
Lingfeng, who already disliked this outfit, felt anger rise within her upon hearing Ziren mockingly call her Nursemaid. She pouted and said, "Don't call me Nursemaid again, or I will leave you behind and run away!"
Ziren smiled faintly and ignored Lingfeng's words. Just as she was about to tease Lingfeng further, a few people approached them.
"Wow, I never expected there would be such goods in Bai Family Town!" One of them, with a straw in his mouth, blocked Ziren's path.
Lingfeng chose to ignore them and disdainfully glanced at the group without stepping in to intervene.
Ziren also looked down on those people and tried to walk past them. However, when Ziren moved left, they moved left too; when she turned right, they followed suit.
Ziren glanced at Lingfeng but saw that Lingfeng had an indifferent expression as if it was none of her business, which made her frown.
"Miss, where are you from? What brings you to this remote place like Bai Family Town?" the one with the straw grinned and asked.
Ziren exhaled softly and quietly clenched her fist.
Seeing this, Lingfeng decided it was not wise to continue watching the commotion. If Ziren really got into a fight with them, it would inevitably expose their whereabouts. So, she picked up her fan and let out a soft "ouch," drawing the attention of those people.
"Brother, we come from Northern Ridge, and we're here to do business~~!" Lingfeng's voice was delicate, but her pronunciation sounded rather masculine, making people cringe.
The dull-headed man shot a disdainful glare at Lingfeng and scolded, "Where did this noisy woman come from? I'm talking to your sister; you have no right to interrupt!"
Lingfeng felt indignant at being scolded. However, she kept the bigger picture in mind and suppressed her anger, forcing a smile as she said, "We're here to do business; please let us pass!"
"Doing business?" The man sneered, lifting Ziren's chin with his hand and teasingly asked, "Are you here to sell your sister? How about selling her to me?" Laughter erupted among the crowd.
Lingfeng was at a loss for words and blinked in surprise.
The man continued unabated, revealing his yellowed teeth as he shamelessly said, "I think you don't need to do any business; just follow me, and I'll make sure you eat well and drink well!"
Ziren remained silent, glaring at the man with an expression full of anger, wishing he could swallow him whole.
Little did he know that his frowning brow only added to his charm, making the man even more restless.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." The man sighed several times and shook his head in lamentation. "What a beautiful rogue! That frown makes me even more captivated!"
"Brother~~!" Lingfeng twisted her waist coyly and stepped forward. "If you like my sister, wait until we finish our business before coming to find us. What do you think?"
The man glared fiercely at Lingfeng, his expression one of disdain. "You two—one old and one young—what kind of business can you handle? It's only your sister who's worth anything; if I saw you walking alone on the street, I wouldn't hesitate to tear you apart!"
"Do you know him?!" Lingfeng's face turned purple and then pale as she coldly laughed twice and asked, "Do you know Bai Lian?"
The man was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "That's our young master!"
"Then this is easy!" Lingfeng said, becoming even more smug. "Your young master has taken a liking to our sister. We came here to find your young master. How about this: once your young master marries our sister, you can have whatever you want!"
As soon as Lingfeng finished speaking, the man's face turned ashen, yet he didn't realize that Lingfeng was just fooling with them. He hurriedly took a few steps back, wishing he could bury his head in the ground, and said nervously, "I didn't recognize the Young Lady; please forgive me!"
Lingfeng puffed out her chest, wiped the sweat from her face, and said in a sweet voice, "You seem honest enough, so I'll let you off this time. But while I haven't changed my mind yet, you'd better get lost!"
The men quickly nodded and hurried away.
Lingfeng finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at Ziren with dissatisfaction, complaining, "Hey, are you interested in that guy? Why haven't you said a word?"
In truth, Lingfeng knew that Ziren was already furious; being able to suppress her anger for so long was quite impressive. However, since those people had insulted them earlier, Lingfeng felt frustrated and took it out on Ziren.
Ziren shot Lingfeng a glare and coldly replied, "Where to next?"
The two had only come to Bai Family Town to gather information but hadn't discussed how to go about it.
When it came to this issue, Lingfeng felt somewhat at a loss. She glanced at Ziren beside her and frowned, saying, "You're over a hundred years old and have been the governor of the State Government; you should have more ideas than I do!"
"My method is simple: you give me the antidote, and then I storm into the White Jade Escort Agency!"
"Let's just forget it!"
The two walked blindly down the street for a while when Lingfeng felt a bit thirsty. Ignoring Ziren, he entered an inn and called out, "Two!"
"Coming!" The second clerk responded and hurried over, only to see a woman with smooth, bronze skin sitting at a table.
The second clerk glanced at Lingfeng and tentatively asked, "Guest, what would you like to eat?"
At that moment, Ziren also rushed over from behind, not forgetting her current identity, and slowly sat down across from Lingfeng.
"Ah, sister, what do you want to drink?" Lingfeng asked cheerfully.
Ziren, however, did not want to act so pretentious and remained silent.
The second clerk looked back and forth between them, standing awkwardly by the table.
Seeing that Ziren was quiet, Lingfeng smiled and said, "Let's have two cups of tea!"
"Ah!" The second clerk shook his head as he turned away, thinking that White Dove's two women were exposing themselves in public and choosing to drink tea in an inn instead of a tea house; wasn't that just asking for attention?
Lingfeng and Ziren had little to say when they suddenly heard the hurried sound of hooves outside the inn, which stopped right at the entrance.
Lingfeng turned to look and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Ziren glanced at Lingfeng and noticed that Lingfeng's expression changed as she looked toward the door, where Bai Lian was followed by a few people.
"Young Master, this is the young lady!" The lackey approached Ziren and bowed to both Ziren and Bai Lian.
Upon seeing Ziren, who was an exceptionally beautiful woman, Bai Lian couldn't help but let his eyes shine brightly. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Miss, have we met before? Why does your face seem so familiar?"
Lingfeng sneered inwardly, thinking that Ziren had lived in their house for such a long time; how could he not recognize her?
However, Ziren remained silent, sitting there dazed like a wooden figure.
Seeing that the beauty before him did not respond, Bai Lian did not press further. He awkwardly smiled and bowed to Lingfeng. When he looked up at Lingfeng, he gasped in surprise, his expression quite strange.
Lingfeng chuckled lightly, revealing a set of uneven teeth. Coupled with her skin decorated by plum blossoms, she looked neither human nor ghostly, completely losing her original appearance.
"Are you this young lady's Nursemaid?" Bai Lian asked upon seeing Lingfeng's appearance. He felt a wave of disgust but had to lower his voice to please the "beauty."
Lingfeng sat up straight, deliberately putting on airs. She coughed twice, adopting a somewhat matronly demeanor. "I am indeed her Nursemaid. What is it that you need?" She intentionally lifted her chest.
Bai Lian felt nauseated inside and stole glances at Ziren, wishing he could swallow the beauty before him whole.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Lingfeng quickly called out, "What are you doing? Our sister is a pure young lady; how can you look at her like that?" She even secretly made faces at Ziren.
Ziren understood and shyly fidgeted without any hint of pretense.
Lingfeng watched with admiration and muttered to herself, "Could it be that Ziren is hermaphroditic? How can they do whatever they want?"
Bai Lian, interrupted by Lingfeng, quickly smiled and said, "Nursemaid misunderstood. It's just that the maid brought my sister here to the White Jade Escort Agency to seek a match. I am Bai Lian, and I came to greet you in case Nursemaid and my sister went to the wrong door!"
Hearing Bai Lian's words, Lingfeng secretly laughed but spat at Bai Lian's face and shouted in a rough voice, "What a mouthful of nonsense! Since ancient times, it has always been the man seeking the woman for marriage. Have you ever seen a girl proposing to a man?"
Bai Lian's servants, seeing their master insulted, glared and wanted to rush forward, but were stopped by Bai Lian.
Lingfeng continued to shout, "Moreover, our sister is as beautiful as a fairy. If anyone wants her hand in marriage, they would line up. Who do you think you are to insult her like this?"
Lingfeng seemed genuinely angry, her ample chest heaving like two great mountains on a seismic belt.
Bai Lian had never endured such humiliation, but facing the beauty before her made it difficult to explode in anger. She could only shout at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? I'll gouge out your eyes!"
"I'll gouge out your eyes!" Lingfeng pretended to go for Ziren's eyes but deliberately slowed down her movements as if she were clumsy.
The sycophants around them were startled by Lingfeng's antics, retreating in fear as if she were a fierce Yasha.
Lingfeng took advantage of the situation to feign injury, exclaiming in pain as if she had hurt her waist. She huffed and cursed, "You little brats dare to bully an old lady like me! Even worse, taking the chance to grope your grandmother's chest—are you wild mountain folk who get excited at the sight of a sow?"
