61 Bai Zhen and Bai Xiu (2/2)
”In that case, there's something I want you to do. If you get it done, I'll make sure to reward you properly.”
”I'll.... Haaaaa... Do anything... ”
”I know you will.”
Grinning from obtaining another pawn, whom he could use to substitute Cao Ning, in case she betrays him, Bai Long began telling her what he wanted her to do.
...
”The two of you have come.”
In response to Yailing who had just walked in, the boy and girl looked towards her with confusion and vigilance.
”Of course. How could we reject a chance to meet the great Second Queen, and the Zheng Clan's Master?”
As the boy stood up and smiled, Yailing smiled back on response and said, ”Let's drop the formalities and speak honestly. Shall we?”
”Ladies first.”
Not minding the sudden intrusion of the girl in their conversation, Yailing said, ”Aren't you a lady as well?”
”I meant, old ladies first.”
As the boy's eyes suddenly turned wide and was about to shout, Yailing chuckled and said, ”That was uncalled for. But I'll let it go since you're still a kid.”
On the inside, however, she was full of murderous intent and was laughing at how she was going to treat the little arrogant bitch.
Sighing from Yailing not turning angry, the boy shot an angry glare towards her sister, who didn't mind it in the slightest.
After all, the two of them hated each other to the bone and we're only working together since they had mutual benefits.
The boy's name was Bai Zhen, while the girl was Bai Xiu.
The both of them were a pair of twins who were born to the previous Third Queen, who passed away after giving to them.
Due to this, the two of them didn't really have a proper backing, but the King valued them so much, that their status wasn't below the Crown Prince in the slightest.
The reason behind them was how much the King appreciated Bai Zhen's intelligence. Sure, the boy was a little arrogant, but his control over the situation was something that the Long had high hopes on.
In fact, Bai Wang had long since been making plans of expanding his Bai Kingdom, and take over the neighbouring kingdoms by using Bai Zhen's intelligence and ideas.
As for Bai Xiu, she was a beauty.
She didn't have talent in cultivation, wasn't smart, kind, or anything else. She was just a pure beauty.
A girl so beautiful, that if she wasn't his daughter, the King would already have hehehehehehe...
But, after the King was now lying in a coma due to the mysterious disease, the two of them were purely relying on their previous status and intelligence to try and fight for the throne.
However, the two of them had to yet realize how useless being intelligent was, when they didn't have enough power or resources to back it up.
