18 May this humble servant know?

The elder's face immediately turned red with shame and anger.

"Well, the difference is that you hurt Xuanfen, you brat, but Xuanfen didn't hurt you even though she had attempted to."

A black clothed person in the daylight yawned, cut off connection of spiritual power to their ears, jumped off the roof of the garden, and ran away swiftly, escaping with him the conversation.

"How is it?"

The man in black swiftly and gracefully kneeled down, head bowed low, eyes not daring to glance at the standing figure ahead of him, who was wearing a white robe that slowly turned into blue upon almost reaching the hem. The design was simple and the collar was highly raised, white and spotless.

The man's eyes flashed with curiosity as he flashed a friendly, dazzling smile at the man in black. If any women were near him, they would have probably fainted with red faces, saying that they would die with no regret if it were for this man.

The man looked like he was carved from a tall block of white jade, features sharp and cold, peerless and spotless, clear, elegant and beautiful. His lean figure slouched backwards slightly, seemingly bored and aloof.

Compared to the modern world, even models would pale in comparison. Even though beautiful was a word meant for women, who were of the fairer and more tender sex, this man in front of the fully black man whose facial expressions and features were indistinguishable and common, was possibly more beautiful than the empress.

"Replying to master, the seal you imprinted implies that the blue pheonix is still dormant."

The flawlessly beautiful man nodded.

"Has the pheonix realised that it had changed owners?"

The youngster on his knees hesitated, reluctantly murmuring, "This lowly servant does not know, but speculates that it had just realized, and is extremely angry."

The man that looked like he was 20-odd years old sighed.

"The pheonix as her beast is the only way she can learn medical expertise, gain control of the seal that I cannot break any more of, and guarantee her safety at the same time."

"I have no choice but to leave him to her."

The man in full black attire steeled his nerves, "May this humble servant know why your lordship is helping this girl?"

The man in whitish blue smiled cheerfully.

"You know, Baize, now would be a good time to shut your mouth."

"Y-yes, master!"

The man with broad shoulders in front of Baize flicked his sleeves, turning his back to Baize, walking forward and away from Baize.

"Keep your eyes on the Xue's third miss. You should know the consequences if she gets hurt, not to mention the pain you will be in if she dies, even if her death is highly unlikely."

Baize shivered. The cheerful looking man in front of him was definitely not as he looked, even though friendly and seemingly kind,

"This servant understands."

"Good. Now go back and check on Xue Xuanmei."
