Bai Feng really wanted to strike Xia Lin, but he knew it was wiser to corner her than to blatantly attack her here.He walked forward and kowtow, "Please forgive me, Your Phoenix. This subject didn"t teach my daughter properly. If someone is to be blamed and punished it has to be this subject."
As soon as the other officials saw Bai Feng kowtowing, they all threw themselves into the ground and started begging. "Please punish us, Your subjects didn"t teach proper etiquettes to the younger generation."
Seeing them kowtow, Xia Lin was finally happy that the game had started. She would definitely make use of these new toys that came throwing themselves at her.
A sly smile appeared on her face.
Nubbi got scared when she saw all those high officials kowtowing to her mistress, she knew that it meant trouble for her mistress. However, when she turned her eyes to look at her mistress"s expression; she didn"t know why but she felt rea.s.sured and started pitying those officials. Her mistress was always calm and it seems like she could deal with each one of them without any troubles.
The Officials was expecting Xia Lin to stop them from kowtowing because if the news leaked to the people she would be perceived as a ruthless G.o.ddess.
Unfortunately for them, they were dealing with the devil herself.
"They want to kowtow? let them kowtow until they get tired." She thought while looking at them with eager eyes, she really wanted to make full use of them.
She turned to Xi Tian gesturing her to give her some peach too. Xia Lin was a foodie, G.o.ds didn"t need to eat to survive but she really enjoyed savoring food like humans.
She thought that she should eat again here since it"s been a while she had some steamed bun.
She called Nubbi and whispered to her to tell the maids to make some steamed bun for her. She explicitly said that it had to be made naturally, no use of power or they will suffer.
While she was talking to Nubbi and giving instruction, Xu Mian and Long Fei were walking outside when they heard the voices of the officials begging for punishment.
Long Fei turned to Su Mian, "didn"t Xu Fen said that Grandmaster was sleeping?"
"Yes, that"s what"s second brother said..."
"Then who are they begging then?"
"I have no idea..." he said while moving his shoulder up and down.
Su Mian saw a group of maids that was pa.s.sing by, "Stop!"
They all stopped and bow their head down.
"You, tell me what"s going in there." He pointed to one of the maids.
"Replying to Third High Prince, ten officials came to beg The Phoenix to release My lady in waiting."
"Release My lady in waiting?"
"Yes, Third High Prince."
"She is arrested? Why?"
"She was thrown into the punitive fire for wishing an early death to The Phoenix."
Su Mian was dumbstruck, He knew Ping Ting since they were younger. She was very wild but nice, at least to him. She knew the law more than anyone so he doubted that she would just curse a Supreme Being no matter how broken hearted she was.
"Something was amiss here." He turned to the maid, "Ok, I got it. You may go."
"Yes, Third High Prince." she bowed before leading the other maids away.
While Su Mian was thinking that it was strange for Ping Ting to behave this way. Long Fei was intrigued by his new grand mistress. She seems really capable, she took care of one threat so easily; she really deserved to be the best tactician.
"Let"s go" Long Fei while walking towards the Royal Court. Su Mian followed quietly, he also wanted to see her. Although they met during the war, he barely saw her as she was wearing a helmet but he remembered that she was a smooth fighter.
Long Fei and Su Mian stood in a corner while concealing their powers to avoid being seen or discovered by Xia Lin. However, Xia Lin had already sensed them approaching but she ignored them. If they didn"t come to create trouble for her, she would care less about them watching the game. She sensed them when they were concealing their power, so she knew that it was better to be wary of them; especially now that she had a blood agreement with her baby sister Mi Mi.
After another hour, the officials were still kowtowing but compared to their vigor from the beginning you could sense that they were starting to get tired. An hour was a whole day in the human realm so it was natural for them to start getting tired. Bai Feng who thought he had the upper hand against Xia Lin, started to realize that he made a mistake by taking this begging approach because it seems like she had no intention to stop them.
