Bai Xing raised his fingers and rapped them on the table. He looked around solemnly.
He didn't believe Fang Zhengzhi's excuse of 'admiring the scenery'.
No one would believe that Fang Zhengzhi had stumbled upon his residence and spontaneously decided to enter.
Bai Xing didn't believe it, but he didn't bother asking additional questions.
He simply hollered...
”Serve tea!”
Someone dressed as a servant entered holding a teapot and two exquisite teacups.
Bai Xing frowned.
He had called for tea not because he was a gracious host. He was in the Blood Shadow City, the capital of the Demons. He was in control here. The longer he dragged this out...
The more advantageous it was for him...
If Fang Zhengzhi wasn't in a rush, why should he be?
There was an even more important reason. He wanted to know if the demon soldiers in his residence were truly 'blind'.
It would seem that the demon soldiers in his residence were blind beyond belief.
The tea came too quickly.
It was so quick that it felt like the tea had been prepared in advance. More importantly, Fang Zhengzhi had prepared two cups.
”He came prepared?” Bai Xing wasn't too surprised by this. He didn't act immediately, choosing to wait for the man to bring the tea over.
When dealing with Fang Zhengzhi...
He couldn't possibly attack him from the get-go. However, he could definitely take action against someone who was trying to pose as one of his servants.
He would kill this imposter in front of Fang Zhengzhi and scare Fang Zhengzhi off.
He hid a ray of silver light in his palm.
He was waiting. He wanted to wait till this man was closer.
The servant carrying the pot of tea didn't seem to notice the killing intent Bai Xing emanated. He walked over steadily...
He was getting close!
Bai Xing's finger moved and his eyes glittered. Just as he was about to strike, he froze.
Because...
He saw a demonic eye. There was a red demonic eye pasted on the forehead of the servant. It was a stark contrast from the greenery in the yard.
”Domain Chief, sir, please enjoy the tea!” The man looked at Bai Xing calmly as he bowed and poured Bai Xing a cup of tea.
The fragrance of the tea filled the garden.
Bai Xing looked at the man and the cup of tea in front of him. His lips twitched.
This was ridiculous!
Fang Zhengzhi had waltzed into his residence with a purple demonic eye! And now there was someone with a fake red demonic eye serving him!
Bai Xing thought that he had managed to call their bluff...
But in fact...
They were simply mocking him. Purple demonic eye? Red demonic eye? Could this be any more ridiculous?
Bai Xing subconsciously clenched his fists.
”Bang!”
This was the sound of the silver light exploding in his hands. It was also a manifestation of the anger he was feeling. However, Bai Xing was still Bai Xing. After some hesitation, he took the teacup in his hand and took a whiff. He smiled.
”Great tea!” Bai Xing looked away from the man and back at the calm Fang Zhengzhi.
”Domain Chief Bai is in for a treat. I feel obliged to tell you that the tea you hold in your hand is the best spring tea this year. I have personally brewed it with my recipe and techniques. If you say that it isn't good, then I'll have to fault you for not knowing your tea.” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.
Then, he waved to the man.
The man turned around and walked over to Fang Zhengzhi. He poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhengzhi, left the teapot behind, then left.
Bai Xing's lips twitched when he saw this.
To be told that you were in for a treat in your own backyard felt like being slapped in the face.
However, Bai Xing tolerated it.
”I've been meaning to ask you, do you really think that by controlling the servants in my residence, you can exit the Blood Shadow City safely?” Bai Xing asked.
”Domain Chief Bai, can we have some tea first?” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Bai Xing's question as he raised his glass and took a sip, savoring it.
”Hmph!” Bai Xing snorted in derision.
He was curious about what happened to Fang Zhengzhi over the past year, but that was about it.
He could suppress it for a moment...
But he couldn't suppress it forever.
As for drinking the tea...
The tea was brought by Fang Zhengzhi's man. He was not stupid enough to taste it.
”Haha, I can see that you are running out of patience. This is some of the best tea around, are you really not going to taste it?” Fang Zhengzhi advised sincerely, ignoring the iciness on Bai Xing's face.
”Fang Zhengzhi, are you really that stupid? Do you not know where you are?” Bai Xing squinted, a silver glow flashing through his eyes.
”Let me think... if I recall correctly, I should be in the Bai Residence inside the third layer of the Blood Shadow City's defenses. Am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi replied innocently.
”So you do know that you are inside the Blood Shadow City!” Bai Xing felt a wave of rage. He smashed the teacup into the ground.
The cup shattered.
”It is a pity... that was a good cup. I hope Domain Chief Bai isn't trying to chase me away? I haven't even finished exploring the Blood Shadow City! Why don't you accompany me?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the cup with traces of regret in his eyes.
”Accompany you? Hahaha... sure, I will accompany you!” Bai Xing chuckled out of rage.
”Thank you in advance, and sorry for taking up your time.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded enthusiastically.
”No need to thank me. However, I think you should explore this place a little differently!”
”How so?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
”We could tie you up first, then have the soldiers gather and stand in front of you! You could take your time to see them all!” Bai Xing chuckled icily.
”Wouldn't that be too much of a disturbance?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
