Li Mao added with a gentle tone, "For one, you should not use just any magic. Did you?" Asking Gao Lan Mei, "Aha!" She exclaimed when she saw her daughter"s eyes bulging with guilt. Gao Lan Mei frowned, "This does not make any sense." she stated confused.
"What does mother mean with not just any magic? It looks so simple, so what the reason for it to be like that?", the more Gao Lan Mei thinks, the more she finds it baffling.
"For now, you can have the servants clean this place. I will just teach you how to cook in the future." Li Mao suggested, "Come with me Mei"er. We need your help for a moment."
Since cooking is not working for her at that moment, Gao Lan Mei will just have to deal with it later with her mother"s help.
Li Mao, held Gao Lan Mei"s hand, allowing her mother to guide her to go somewhere. Lou Ren and Xi Jun are also closely following them.
After leaving the room, the servants went in the messed up kitchen, looking at the place devastatingly.
Almost all the food that they have already as well as the ones the ingredients now have a strange black substance that they are not even sure if was.h.i.+ng is enough to completely remove it.
"w.a.n.gfei... Please do not cook again..." the servants can only hope.
Gao Lan Mei and rest went out of the courtyard and proceed to the back part of it. Not far, they saw Xi Ma patiently waiting outside a small room, surrounded by guards.
"w.a.n.gfei," Xi Ma bowed with respect to Gao Lan Mei, that made her frown. It sounds so strange to be addressed with respect, especially coming from Xi Ma.
"He is still not willing to talk?" Xi Jun asked, with annoyance as he really wants to something else than deal with their race strict customs.
Xi Ma shook his head, "Not yet. He will only speak in front of the w.a.n.gfei." voice sounding concerned.
"w.a.n.gfei, the man is part of the mercenaries that attacked earlier. We know you would be interested to speak with him." he then added, speaking to Gao Lan Mei.
Wei Jiayi is not aware that they had called out Gao Lan Mei to speak to a prisoner. Even if that man helped saved the w.a.n.gfei, Xi Ma doubts his master will just shut up about it.
Nevertheless, a Keeper"s punishment needs to be decided by five others and with a unanimous decision before imposing.
As Gao Lan Mei being the most affected by the mercenary involvement with Ming Ya"s recent incident, so she needs to be present.
She is also counted as the fifth Keeper to decide on what to do the man inside the room.
Gao Lan Mei looked at Xi Ma nonchalantly, then tilting her head, "He wants to speak to me?" she asked, getting used to the t.i.tle.
"Yes, w.a.n.gfei. Let us go inside." Xi Ma opened the enchanted lock of the room and ushered the rest to go in.
Gao Lan Mei immediately saw the mercenary that had kicked her earlier. Li Shao is tied up on a chair, both his hands are bounded at his back.
Despite this, he seems to be comfortable with the way his face brightened after seeing his visitors.
"Hi!" Li Shao greeted with delight. "Glad to see that all you took time to visit!" stating like he is talking to friends and not the beings that tied him up.
With a smirk, "Aren"t you too comfortable for your own good?" Xi Jun crossed his arms over his chest while looking at the very carefree prisoner that they currently have.
