Bai Xue doesn't care about the maid but she doesn't like when Zhao Li Xin people hit her people right in front of her face, they say when you hit the dog, you must see who's the master is, from how Zhao Li Xin servant behave, clearly he doesn't care about Bai Xue status or position.

"Should your servant apologize to me right now?" Bai Xue reprimand Zhao Li Xin sternly.

​​

"For what…?" he said indifferently without giving Bai Xue a glance.

Bai Xue's expression hardened as she gritted her teeth in anger then she shoots daggers towards Zhao Li Xin "Have you never taught your servant not to hit a woman, how could a man hit a woman like that, I don't know why you keep a servant like that? soon or later he would implicate his master with his brass behavior"

"You mean acting stupid like your maid? I don't care…" Zhao Li Xin lazily said.

Bai Xue clenched her fist, she could feel anger stirred within her "You should stop treating me like this, or you won't be happy with what I will do to you, do you think I would not dare to tell everything to Sanguan Jin Sheng, huh? you acting so tough in front of me but if that true you wouldn't need me to fool Sanguan Jin Sheng, you need me!" she can't hold her anger any longer, her anger burst like molten lava.

The maids who stand behind Bai Xue exchange secret glance, they thought the relationship between the first young master Sanguan and their mistress is simply romantic, but from Bai Xue words it there's something more about it and this is not good for them because they are not Bai Xue personal maid.

They had only called from the Celestial Immortal sect to serve Bai Xue while she was here, so when they return to the Celestial Immortal sect Bai Xue might not use them again, which meant she didn't want someone out there carry her big secret, wouldn't she? so what would happened to them, if they lucky Bai Xue would choose them as personal maids from now on, otherwise….

On contrary, Zhao Li Xin faced Bai Xue's outburst with an indifferent expression, he raised his eyebrows with an evil cukle "What do you want to do, miss Bai?" he mocked.

Mong Liu looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head helplessly, who said Bai Xue is a smart and sensible woman, obviously, she was stupid for thinking she could challenge their Lord, Mong Liu lamented to himself while pouring a cup of wine for Zhao Li Xin diligently.

Bai Xue face flushed from shame but it's too late to back down right now "You think I'm afraid to tell Sangguan Jin Sheng that you already know everything and you plan to take over the sanguan family" she let out all the anger that had long been pent up. The truth is Bai Xue was not sure if Zhao Li Xin wants to take over the Sanguan family or not, she just voices her suspicion.

"So you have to start treating me with respect from now on, or I will do something that you will regret it" her knuckles turned white because she clenching too hard, sadness and anger filled her eyes. Bai Xue didn't want them to become enemies, she angry with Zhao Li Xin but she loved him as well, or at least that what she thought.

She wanted them to become an equal partner who trusted and depended on each other, but now they look like two tigers who fighting over territory, her heart ached like someone hit her chest with a hammer, he never understood why Zhao Li Xin treated her like this, if only he warmed up a little or showed more kindness, she wouldn't have used threats as last resort.

"Respect?" Zhao Li Xin sneered "Respect for the woman who doesn't hesitate to betray her own master family for a small profit" Zhao Li Xin laugh and his whole body trembled from too much laughing. He thought he heard the funniest joke of his life.

Bai Xue's face turned very red, but she didn't know if this because of anger or embarrassment.

"Just see if you dare to tell everything to Sanguan Jin Sheng, in fact, I can't wait to see it!" Zhao Li Xin grinned widely, then he gathered his hands on the table and from steeple with both his hand, he looked into Bai Xue eyes deeply "You can tell him everything you know about me, and see how Sanguan Jin Sheng reacts. Would he be mad at me…of course he will, but what about you?" he said sarcastically.

her body suddenly become tensed, she just realized she made a grave mistake, she forgot about Sanguan Jin Sheng temperament, all of a sudden her whole demeanor become frigid.

Zhao Li Xin sipped his wine calmly "It seems you understand, Sangguan Jin Sheng is a paranoid person, if he knew that it took a long time before you conveyed everything to him, he would become suspicious. He would wonder, what had happened, why now? Do you think Sanguan Jin Sheng would let you go easily without any prejudice?"

Bai Xue had no way to argue Zhao Li Xin's words, she knew Sanguan Jin Sheng for a long time because his wife is her master's younger sister, so she met Sanguan Jin Sheng quite often, there was even a time when she was young she adored sanguan Jin Sheng.

He was smart, handsome, debonaire, and a very charismatic man, no wonder Zi Yi Ru was crazy in love with him, but her master once warned her that everything she saw might not real.

She doesn't understand what Zi Quan Mei means until she found out what happened to Qin Mu Yi and her family, she finally understands what kinda man Sanguan Jin Sheng is.

"So what would you do Miss Bai" Zhao Li Xin casually asked as if he asked about the weather.

Once again she found herself on a dead-end, actually, she did not really mean it when she said she would report him to sanguan Jin Sheng, she just says it because she wanted to threaten him but who knew her means were useless and it only worsens the relationship between her and Zhao Li Xin, she suddenly was hit by immense regret.

While Zhao Li Xin…..

Well, he didn't feel SH*T….

"I'll take that as our cooperation continue" he sighed "So why are you here, don't tell me you came here just to threatened me?"

Bai Xue stunned "No, I…." she quickly rebuke.

"Then what….I'm busy, so make it quick" he let out a long exhales seemingly impatient.

Bai Xue swallow her irritation "I have information about someone who was poisoned, Long Ming "

Zhao Li Xin hands pause on mid-air, he finally looked interested "Oh, go on…."

"Not so fast, first I want to meet Long Ming personally" she held her breath nervously.

"Oh, a negotiation I supposed," he said with amusement, Bai Xue is definitely a very opportunistic woman but this a good fact because greedy people are easy to manipulate "What make you think I will agree with you?"

Bai Xue forehead creased she look at Zhao Li Xin in displeased "This is important information for Long Ming, you dare to hold this information from Long Ming, I don't think you dare" she give conceited smiles, she was certain no matter how strong he is he wouldn't be stronger than the demon Lord Long Ming.

Zhao Li Xin held his breath for a moment, but Bai Xue took it as a sign that he was giving in and this made her feel elated because it's not easy for her to make this man given up for once, immediately her self confidence rose "So, what do you think when you can arrange the meeting?"

Zhao Li Xin sipped his wine quietly as if he was contemplating, he smacks his lips then says: "Where do you get the information?"

She was annoyed by Zhao Li Xin's obvious stalling "That would be between me and Long Ming only…" she will not give up the information even for Zhao Li Xin, this is her only card to step up her game over Zhao Li Xin.

The corner of his mouth curled, he could see how eager she is "Fine, I will contact you again…." He put down the winecup on the table and got up from his seat then clasped his left hand behind his back "By the way, I don't know how much you can trust your people, but you shouldn't bring your maids to our discussion, unlike my servant who he had been served me for years, his loyalty had been proved, but what about yours….?" He darted his eyes at the two maids behind Bai Xue, Zhao Li Xin then retracts his gazes away from them and walk away without speaking any further.

Instantly the maid's face turned pale, they immediately dropped their knees on the floor and banged their forehead on the floor "Miss Bai, please believe us, we won't tell anyone about this!"

"Yes young Miss, please believe us, we will not dare to betray you!" the other maid their head repeatedly, they know how dangerous their situation was, for a servant who knows too much about their master problem would never end up well, whether they killed by they owned master or their master opponent nonetheless, it always ended badly for them.

"I know, you don't have to worry," said Bai Xue calmly, she knew it was a mistake, at first she didn't intend to make them stay and listen to her conversation with Zhao Li Xin, but one thing led to another she was engulfed in anger and forgot to dismissed her maids 'What a blunder' she thought.

Her calm and gentle voice made them feel relieved "Thank you – thank you Young Miss!" they pressed their forehead on the ground, still the maids were terrified of what would happen to them, what if their sect master found out about Bai Xue doing, what if Sanguan Jin Sheng become suspicious and reported them to their sect master, would they be implicated by Bai Xue.

They were horrified to imagine what punishment they would get, they were only small servants in the celestial Immortal sect, they don't want to involved with anyone matters, they realized that they didn't have the strength or authority to save themself so they are in dilemma, what should they do right now, should they come clean to their Sect master?

While they were deep in their own thoughts, they missed the sinister glint in Bai Xue's eyes.
