Capítulo 15: Bai Zhe

"This will be the final decision, no objection will be accepted!" Su Ruoxi said domineeringly.
Little White, the artifact spirit, was extremely sympathetic toward their new member, Bai Tian. At least they had the same family name. Next time, if their master were to contract another beast, it would probably be named Little Black. Little White sounded better…
When Little Ball woke up, the medicinal herbs in the cave had been kept by Baby Su. Su Ruoxi did not plan to stay any longer, and hence, she sent it into the realm and asked Little White to find an accommodation for it. Su Ruoxi then continued the journey with her daughter…
Wind Sky City.
The spring breeze was warm, and the sun was shining.
Su Ruoxi wore a red dress and held the hands of Baby Su, who was well dressed. Baby Su had fair skin and delicate facial features, young and adorable. Every part of her face was incredibly perfect. Just by looking at her, one could be sure that she would become an extremely beautiful woman in the future…
"Mother, where are we going?" Baby said, blinking her big and curious eyes while looking at the stream of people on the road.
This was her first time in the outside world. Even though she had never seen so many people in the past, she had heard a lot from her mother!
Hence, even though she was curious, she was only looking around and was not too surprised…
"Let's go and visit the aunts and uncles that I've always told you about," Su Ruoxi said, smiling.
"Okay!" Baby said happily.
At that moment, a carriage that looked ordinary passed by the mother-and-daughter pair. A gust of wind blew past and lifted the curtain of the carriage. There were two young men sitting in the carriage.
One of the men who was facing the curtain was stunned when he saw the side view of the baby.
"What happened? What did you see?" the other man asked in a detestable tone while looking at his friend who was looking out in a silly manner.
The man snapped back to his senses and said, "Che, the side profile of that child looks like you…"
Feng Che gave him a stare and thought that his brain must have been broken. He probably thought everyone looked like him.
Seeing that his friend did not believe him, the men said in an unhappy tone, "I am speaking the truth, you can look at it yourself if you don't believe…" He pressed the button beside him as he spoke, and a door opened at the back of the carriage, showing a clear view of the street behind them…
However, there were no sights of Su Ruoxi and Baby Su. The man was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He clearly saw a woman in red holding onto the hands of a little girl just now. How could they just disappear?
Nevertheless, when he opened his eyes again, there was still no sight of the mother-and-daughter pair. He could only close the door in confusion…
"Bai Zhe, are you thirsty for women? You have been acting weirdly recently!" Feng Che said while looking at his friend in contempt.
Bai Zhe was one of the few friends of Feng Che. No one knew his real identity, but his other identity was famous. He was the best physician in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix. Furthermore, he was also the seventh most handsome man in the handsome men ranking in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix.
However, he always felt that the ranking was not accurate. Because compared to his friend Feng Che, who was ranked first, he was clearly more amicable and popular…
"Hmph, I definitely did not see wrongly! Che, think about it carefully, have you been keeping a woman outside and even have a child? Even though I only saw the side profile of the child, I am eighty percent sure that the child is related to you!" Bai Zhe said with a sneer.
"Let me sleep for a while and do not disturb me unnecessarily!" Feng Che was too lazy to entertain his friend. It would take another day's journey to reach the next city, so he would rather sleep…
"Che, your poison had already been cured. Why do you still like to sleep so much? Don't you think your love for sleeping is a very feminine behavior? Bai Zhe said daringly.
Upon hearing that, Feng Che did not even lift up his eyelids and said, "I am not the Master Physician, shouldn't you answer the question?"
"But, I had definitely checked. There is no problem with your body, why do you still like to sleep so much?" Bai Zhe fell deeply into his thoughts…
Feng Che saw that his friend was in deep thoughts and smirked satisfyingly. The only way to deal with his Master Physician friend was to talk about illness, and then he would finally shut up…
Thinking of the poison in his body, Feng Che's eyes narrowed in a dangerous manner. Six years ago, he was raped by a woman when he was sick…
When Feng Che regained consciousness and checked his body, he found out that the deadly poison that he was born with was gone…
Even Bai Zhe, who was a Master Physician, could not explain this and never stopped questioning him about what happened after he ran out that night…
However, he could only vaguely explain that he fainted in the Fallen Skies Valley and did not remember anything…
He couldn't possibly tell Bai Zhe that he was raped by a woman when he fainted! He was not foolish enough to let a second person know about such embarrassment…
Thinking about what happened six years ago, Feng Che was a bit irritated. He simply closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it… Heavenly Phoenix City was the capital of the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix. It was also the most prosperous city in the kingdom. The streets were streaming with people, and restaurants and accommodations were lined up there. Furthermore, the things sold by the small stalls were abundant and pretty, leaving one overwhelmed…
Su Ruoxi held her baby's hands and watched the bustling city while she was walking. Finally, they stopped at the end of the busiest street in Heavenly Phoenix City, in front of a black building…
Baby Su looked at the black building in front of her which was a three-storey pavilion. There was a black plaque hung on top of the door with the four big golden words 'Pavilion of the Assassins' written on it.
"Mother, we are here!" Baby said with sparks in her eyes.
The Pavilion of the Assassins was a mysterious force that appeared in the Land of the Dancing Phoenix four years ago. It was mysterious because nobody knew who the master of the Pavilion of the Assassins was! All the missions accepted by the Pavilion of the Assassins had never failed…
Furthermore, the Pavilion of the Assassins did not treat anyone differently even if they were related to the royal family or the master of a family. No matter rich or powerful, as long as the Pavilion of the Assassins accepted the mission, their life would be marked…
The most special part was that, despite the secretive nature of an assassin, not only did they not set up its headquarters in a secluded place, but they dared to set up its headquarters in the busiest part of the capital in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix and even opened for business outrightly…
This left many people wondering what was going on. Initially, there was no one who turned up to give missions…
Some big clans and powers who did not like the sight of the Pavilion of the Assassins even purposely gave them difficult assassination missions. Originally, they thought that the Pavilion of the Assassins would not dare to accept it, however, they accepted it and even asked for a very high price.
One of the most shocking incidents was four years ago when someone spent money to buy the life of a Prince of the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix. Not only did the Pavilion of the Assassins accept the mission, the Prince was also dead by the second day.
This made the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix very angry. He wrote an imperial edict and called for the Pavilion of the Assassins to be uprooted. After the call was given, many elite soldiers were dispatched, but the Pavilion of the Assassins continued to stand and open for business as usual…
What exactly happened remained a mystery till today. Nevertheless, everyone understood that the Pavilion of the Assassins was not to be messed with!
