In a moving carriage, we can see Yunlong with a smile on his face, calmly feeding Yuri her favorite foods, which led her to purr on his lap.
"Yunlong..." Qian Renxue suddenly said while frowning at her brother, who is shifting his gaze at her.
"Hmm, do you need something?" Yunlong answered with a confused expression.
"Don't you think this carriage become too cramped?!" Qian Renxue stated while narrowing her gaze at the red-haired girl, who quietly sat beside Xiaoyu.
"Cramped? You should be more specific, big sister." Yunlong said while giving her an innocent look.
"Fine, what is she doing in here!?" Qian Renxue said while intently staring at Bai Xue, who is also staring at her.
"I already said that I temporarily hired her as a maid, right," Yunlong naturally replied while releasing a helpless sigh.
"But you already have three maids!" Qian Renxue complained with a pout on her face.
"Well, I can't deny that." Yunlong laughed while thinking about how his mother recruited maids for him.
"Then why did you recruited her as a maid." Qian Renxue's golden eyes are closely staring at him.
Yunlong calmly staring at her sister while pushing her face back and said, "I recruited her as a maid because she had a talent and ability."
"Talent? Ability?" Qian Renxue muttered with a frown while turning her gaze back at Bai Xue, who humbly nodded her head at her.
"Open that box and show my sister your ability." Yunlong suddenly said while throwing a small jade box at Bai Xue.
Bai Xue calmly caught the jade box and then nodded her head as she opened the box, revealing two brown pills with a hint of mint scent.
"Can I taste it a little?" Bai Xue quietly asked while picking one of the pills with her slender fingers.
"Sure, but are you not afraid that I put poison or something into that pill," Yunlong responded while giving her a sly smile.
"You aren't that kind of person. I can feel it." Bai Xue answered while staring at him.
She was staring at the pill for a few seconds while checking the scent, which makes her frown because it smells like mint, but it's not mint.
"A wild vermin grass is definitely one of this pill's ingredients." Bai Xue stated, to which Yunllong responded with a gentle nod.
"Correct, I use vermin grass in that pill." Yunlong smiled at her, which makes Qian Renxue frown because it looks like that she underestimated this apple-haired girl's ability.
Bai Xue took a deep breath before placing the pill into her mouth, which surprises her because it's taste like a fresh medicinal candy she made when she's four.
Qian Renxue squinted her eyes at Bai Xue, who is calmly closing her eyes and savoring the taste of the pill.
"You're using golden peppermint, ice dill deed, white root, pearl leaves, and palm sugar." Bai Xue opened her eyes and then stared at Yunlong with a hint of satisfaction in her green eyes.
"Correct, you're sure talented with medicinal herbs and snacks," Yunlong commented, making Bai Xue feel a little embarrassed.
'This is the feeling of being praised...' Bai Xue thought as Yunlong's praise echoing in her head.
"Her ability is good, right." Yunlong shifted his gaze at his sister, who pouted and turned her head away from him.
"Hmph, I don't care about your new maid and her ability!" Qian Renxue whined while releasing a huff, making Yunlong smirked at her in his heart.
'Well, it can't be helped.' Yunlong thought while closing his eyes and enjoying their journey.
--- One hour later ---
The carriage stopped in front of a spirit hall's branch, which is the place Yunlong decide to settles the hostage he saved yesterday.
"Give them a life necessity for one week. After that, ask them if they want to be recruited as a servant for this branch." Yunlong instructed the driver, who quietly responded with a nod of his head.
"What if they rejected the offer?" The driver asked while giving Yunlong a solemn expression.
"Well, they can leave." Yunlong nonchalantly replied.
The driver once again nodded his head. He jumped out of the driver's seats and walked toward another carriage, which they used to transport the hostages.
The hostages quietly hear the driver's word and then nod their heads as they walked out of the carriage.
The driver leads them to the main carriage, making Yunlong feel a little weird because this isn't what he instructed.
"Thank you, young master, for saving us from that place." The hostages respectfully said while bowing their bodies at the carriage.
"They've been abused for months. I've seen a lot of them become playthings for the bandits and miserably died when they tried to fight back." Bai Xue suddenly said while making a gloomy expression.
"I see..." Yunlong responded when hearing Bai Xue's words.
"You're welcome." Yunlong's gentle voice entered the hostages' ears, making them somehow feels safe in their heart.
The driver smiled when he heard Yunlong's voice and then shook his head because, like what the supreme pontiff said, her son is different.
He leads the hostage into the spirit hall's branch, where he meets the branch's leader and giving him an order to providing the hostage life necessity and works.
"This is a direct instruction of my superior, you better treat them good, or you'll suffer a great difficulty." The driver coldly whispered before walking out of the brach.
The branch's leader is terrified by his words, so he can only nod his head and said, "I'll do as you instructed."
"Good." The driver commented with a smirk as he comes back to his seat, where he found a Yunlong quietly waving his hand at him.
"Let's go to the heaven dou city," Yunlong said, to which the driver responded with a smile.
--- A few hours later ---
The carriage arrived at the heaven dou city, welcoming them with a great scene of towering gate and buildings.
As the carriage moved into the city, Yunlong saw the civilians walking around to do their activities.
"This place is more lively than spirit hall," Yunlong commented, which makes Qian Renxue agreed as she also curiously observed the area.
"By the way, Bai Xue. Your family territory is not around here, right?" Yunlong suddenly asked, to which Bai Xue responded with a nod.
"My family is a minor noble in the countryside. Even though we're not poor, our military aspect is weak, which is why I was being engaged to another noble." Bai Xue honestly answered.
"Uhh, maybe I shouldn't ask that," Yunlong said while giving her an apologetic smile.
"It's okay. I already ran away from there anyway." Bai Xue casually replied like she doesn't care while shrugging off her shoulder.
"O-Oh, is that so?" Yunlong awkwardly responded while shifting his gaze back to the scenery.
After moving for a few minutes, and entered the secluded area. The carriage stopped in front of a medium-sized inn, making Yunlong frowned because he can see two people peacefully waiting for them.
"Young master, they are like me, supreme pontiff's secret agents." The driver suddenly said, which puts a weak smile on Yunlong's face.
The driver walks out of his seat and then opened the carriage door for them as the other agent greeted them.
"Welcome, young master and young lady." The other agents greeted while bowing their bodies.
"I've prepared the place for you two." one of them added while gently smiling at them, to which the siblings responded with a quiet nod.
Yunlong stared at him for a few moments before walking out of the carriage as his sisters and maids followed him.
"Show me the place."
