The carriage stopped at the city gate.
Hua Qingyu walked up with a smile and cupped his hands. “We are honored by the presence of Fairy Liren of Passionless Palace. Hua Qingyu greets Fairy Liren.”
The inside of the carriage was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a fragrance assaulted their senses.
A snow-white figure darted out like lightning, and the long sashes from her clothing glided over the top of the carriage.
When everyone focused their gaze, they saw a female without any makeup and dressed in snow-white clothes appear on the roof of the carriage. Afterwards, she sat down cross-legged with an austere expression on her face.
Yet Bai Xia and Qiao Mu felt that this whatever Fairy Liren was acting like a pretentious prick by putting on this transcendental-like performance…
“Does this fairy whatshername have such a strong background that even the city lord has to come out in welcome?” Bai Xia couldn’t resist muttering.
That middle-aged woman who had spoken to them earlier unexpectedly rolled her eyes at Bai Xia. “What do you know. The wife of the current prefecture lord of Shuntian Prefecture is Passionless Palace’s palace master.”
“There are five senior fairies at the prefecture lord madam’s service, and this Fairy Liren is one of them. Her spiritual cultivation has reached level-seven, which is rather formidable! Every three months, Passionless Palace will come distribute cultivation resources by the prefecture lord’s order. These resources concern a city’s future, so of course you can’t be careless.”
“Among these resources are materials, elixirs, and cultivation techniques. Anything you can think of. If you build a good relationship with the fairies of Passionless Palace, you might even be able to pull some strings and nab more benefits.”
“No wonder this City Lord Hua is acting like this.” When Bai Xia heard this, she observed Fairy Liren curiously again, particularly examining her face.
Yet Fairy Liren abruptly turned toward Bai Xia and looked back at her. This chilly gaze made Bai Xia’s heart sink in fright.
“How dare you insolently scrutinize this fairy. Where are the prefecture defenders? Go! Gouge out her eyes for this fairy.”
Bai Xia abruptly widened her eyes, simply unable to believe her ears.
This whatshername fairy actually harbored such malicious thoughts? She had merely given the other party a few more glances out of curiosity. Just this made her order the prefecture defenders to gouge out her eyes?
Who did she think she was, not allowing others to give her a few more glances?
Soon enough, two prefecture defenders flashed over with afterimages. They coldly and arrogantly reached out to restrain Bai Xia.
“Sister.” Bai Zhe was shocked, but he and Ji Feng immediately intercepted the two swift prefecture defenders at the same time.
Two waves of mystic energy pushed back the prefecture defenders.
This nearly affected the masses, who were yelping in shock.
“You’re seeking death.” A cold light shot out from Fairy Liren’s pretty eyes as she sat carefreely on the roof of her carriage.
She shook her wide white sleeves slightly, and two yellowish streaks of light scattered from her sleeves toward Bai Zhe and Ji Feng.
*Pop!* A faint sound resonated in the air.
When Qiao Mu saw that two immobilization talismans were about to stick to Bai Zhe and Ji Feng, she knitted her delicate brows. She abruptly made a move and caught those two blue talismans between her fingers.
It only took a moment for her to crush those two blue talismans in her hand and scatter the powder to the wind.
As Bai Zhe and Ji Feng did not get affected by the immobilization talismans, they successfully struck the prefecture defenders with their palms. The latter were forced backward several steps.
Fairy Liren immediately squinted her eyes.
Her chilly eyes were spitting sparks as she gave Qiao Mu a death glare, and she uttered word by word, “How dare you destroy my immobilization talismans? Do you know what kind of capital offense that is?”
