“Am I someone who will care about such things?” Pei Qingfeng was extremely irritated . He was feeling heartache because he didn’t know Bai Luochu well enough . She assumed that he wasn’t going to agree and started using profits to tempt him just because he remained silent for a moment . There were times when he wanted to pry open her head and see what was inside her brain . Were there feelings stored in it?
When Bai Luochu saw that Pei Qingfeng was annoyed, she became confused . She didn’t understand why he would blow up like that . Could it be that she insulted his status and moral integrity? Bai Luochu had no choice but to quickly explain her thoughts . At the very least, she couldn’t allow him to continue raging .
“I’m not trying to bribe you with the elixir . I feel that I have to give you something for chasing you away yesterday . This is an apology gift . ” Bai Luochu finished her explanation and pushed the elixir towards Pei Qingfeng, hinting for him to accept it .
When Pei Qingfeng saw Bai Luochu’s honest expression, he became even more infuriated . He thought that she was really an emotionless robot . Why couldn’t the heavens send down a lightning bolt to enlighten her?
Pei Qingfeng helplessly shook his head, “Take it back . I will definitely help you out with the invitation . If there is nothing else, please return to your residence . ” Pei Qingfeng had already made his intentions clear . He was afraid that he might strangle her to death if she didn’t leave this instant .

Bai Luochu stuffed the elixir into his hand and snapped . “When have I taken back my gifts? If you want to keep it, keep it . If you hate it, you still have to keep it . If you really hate it so much, just throw it away . I can always refine elixirs like this in the future… Are you really going to accept my request?”
“Yes yes yes, a nobleman’s word is his bond . I’ll definitely send out the invitations . Even if I have to turn violent, I will make all of them stay . Are you satisfied now?” This was the first time Pei Qingfeng felt such a painful headache when speaking to Bai Luochu .
“Since that is the case, I shall thank Your Second Highness in advance . I still have other things to prepare . Farewell . ” Bai Luochu left the study room and ran into the guard who just returned .
When the guard commander saw how Bai Luochu left in such a hurry, he felt that something was wrong . He immediately quickened his pace and headed to the study room . The moment he entered, he saw Pei Qingfeng’s gloomy face . He was also complaining endlessly in his heart . The guard commander was afraid a careless mistake would cause his master to fly into a fit of rage .
“Grind the ink for me . I am going to write an invitation card . ” Pei Qingfeng didn’t vent his anger on the guard commander .

That guard immediately ran over to help Pei Qingfeng grind the ink after hearing the order . He didn’t dare to move slowly .
When the guard saw the contents of the card, he became confused . “Master, why do you want to invite the Phoenix King Valley’s core disciples to the residence? They are really troublesome people and we should keep away from them . ”
“You don’t have to bother with the way I do things . ” Pei Qingfeng replied to the guard’s question and continued to write .
“Master, are you doing this for Luo Chu?” The guard commander pondered for a long time before allowing the question to leave his mouth . After all, his master was a person who didn’t like noise . Why would he take the initiative to invite others to a feast? If there was someone who could persuade Pei Qingfeng to do such a thing, Luo Chu would be number 1 on the list . No matter what occasion it was, if Luo Chu was present, Pei Qingfeng would be there as well .
Pei Qingfeng paused for a second . He didn’t expect the guard to be able to read his thoughts . He immediately asked in return, “What about it?”

That guard commander let out a silent sigh and said, “Master, why don’t you ask for the reason behind her favor? You should know that the Phoenix King Valley isn’t a small faction . If she causes trouble out there, they might even suspect that you are involved . How will we explain the matter if that happens? Right now, the relationship between the imperial clan and the Phoenix King Valley isn’t the best . If another incident occurs… I’m afraid His Majesty will punish you to warn the rest . ”
“I trust her . ” Pei Qingfeng was done with the invitation card . He turned and spoke to the guard firmly, “She always has a plan . Nothing has even gone wrong . If nothing happened to her so far, nothing will happen to her in the future . She crossed swords with the Phoenix King Valley multiple times now and was never at a disadvantage . I even used repairing relationships as a reason to invite all of them for a feast . I will absolve myself of all blame when the time comes . ”
“But Master . . . ” That guard commander wanted to say something but was refuted by Pei Qingfeng .
“Deliver this invitation card to the Phoenix King Valley’s manor . You have to make sure they accept the invitation . When you are returning, deliver a message to Luo Chu as well . Let her know that ‘the matter is done’ so she can feel at ease . ”
When the guard saw how determined his master was, he had no choice but to acknowledge the orders . He held onto the invitation card and left the residence .
On the other side, Bai Luochu was speeding up her refining of the antidote to the sleeping incense .
The core disciples unexpectedly accepted the invitation by Pei Qingfeng without any resistance . After obtaining their answer, the guard quickly left .
For convenience’s sake, the guard didn’t enter the main entrance . He headed straight into the secluded courtyard to deliver the message to Bai Luochu .
“The request you have for Master has been done . ” The guard commander was still in a fit of anger and his tone wasn’t exactly nice .
Bai Luochu nodded in response . The moment the sun set, her operation would begin .
