Being asked by He Jingtai, Bai Hanyun took off her veiled hat.

The moment He Jingtai saw her face, he was stunned for a moment. Coming back to his senses, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply.

"This commoner greets Miss Bai."

Bai Hanyun smiled and responded, "There is no need for formality. Eldest Young Master He, please have a seat."

"Yes, Miss Bai."

He Jingtai sat down in front of Bai Hanyun, then asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice, "Miss Bai, what brings you here today? Do you want to check the account books?"

Bai Hanyun glanced at the stacks of accounting books on the round table, then looked at He Jingtai and replied, "I came today to deliver supplies. Do you have a place to store them?"

When He Jingtai heard this, his eyes lit up. With the booming popularity, their supplies were getting low. If Bai Hanyun didn’t come today, he would go find her in the afternoon to secure more supplies.

He Jingtai hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes. The warehouses are located in the backyard. Miss Bai, please follow me."

With that, He Jingtai led Bai Hanyun and Feng Wu to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, Madam He was supervising the servants repackaging the goods for sale.

Seeing He Jingtai approaching with a young lady and a masked man, Madam He curiously asked, "Jingtai, these are...?"

Smiling at his mother, He Jingtai introduced them, "Mother, this is Miss Bai, the owner of Bai Feng Store, and her bodyguard."

Madam He’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. She hurriedly led the other members and servants of the He Clan, then knelt before Bai Hanyun.

With their heads bowed, they said in unison, "This commoner greets Miss Bai."

Looking at their grand greeting, Bai Hanyun took a step to the side, avoiding Madam He’s bow. She then stepped forward and helped Madam He up.

"Please rise, everyone."

"Thank you, Miss Bai." Madam He lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Bai Hanyun.

Now that they had greeted each other, Bai Hanyun said, "Madam He, I came to deliver supplies. Can you show me the warehouses?"

Madam He nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss Bai."

The warehouses were built behind the store, taking up the entire back street.

Looking at the huge warehouses lined up on both sides of the wide street, Bai Hanyun couldn’t help but give He Xuanren a thumbs-up in her heart.

He Jingtai opened the first warehouse and asked, "Miss Bai, where are the goods? Do you need me to send some men to move them?"

Bai Hanyun shook her head, then said, "Please close the door."

Although he was confused, He Jingtai still followed her instructions and closed the door.

After the door closed, Bai Hanyun looked at the empty warehouse. With a wave of her hand, the warehouse was instantly filled with bags of rice. Each bag contained 100 kg of rice from various brands and qualities.

Witnessing this shocking scene, Madam He and He Jingtai’s jaws dropped.

Smiling at them, Bai Hanyun said, "Let’s continue."

With that, she left the warehouse, followed by Feng Wu.

Left behind, Madam He grabbed her son’s hand and fearfully asked in a low voice, "Son, did you hide something from Mother regarding Miss Bai’s identity?"

He Jingtai recalled the rumors that had been circulating since yesterday. Swallowing hard, he tremblingly said, "Mother, we might have accidentally ended up working for Fairy Bai."

When Madam He heard this, her eyes widened in shock. "Miss Bai... Fairy Bai..."

Two seconds later, realization struck both of them.

Just when they were stunned by this sudden fortune, Bai Hanyun’s voice came from outside.

"Madam He, Eldest Young Master He, I have filled the warehouse, so I will take my leave first. If you need anything, feel free to find me at the Great General’s Mansion."

Hearing this, Madam He and He Jingtai hurriedly left the warehouse. Bowing to Bai Hanyun, they replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss Bai."

Noticing that they became more respectful, Bai Hanyun scratched her cheek but didn’t say anything.

After He Jingtai saw Bai Hanyun and Feng Wu off, he returned to the backyard and ordered, "Hurry up and repackage these goods. We need to send them to the store’s branches as soon as possible."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master."

While He Jingtai and Madam He were busy in the store, Bai Hanyun and Feng Wu took their time strolling around the city.

At the same time, the envoys from the three empires and ten kingdoms were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

In one of the inns located in the outer ring area of Xiqiang City, the Crown Prince of the Liang Empire, the Protector General, and the envoys were sitting around a round table.

Looking at the calm Crown Prince, one of the envoys said, "Your Highness, the Feng Army still hasn’t given us any response regarding our request to meet Great General Feng. This subject is afraid that he might refuse our surrender."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince’s expression sank. His fingers around the teacup tightened, but he said nothing.

Seeing that he was not as calm as he appeared, another envoy asked, "Your Highness, should we send another letter to the Feng Army?"

The Crown Prince thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No. We shouldn’t appear too eager. Otherwise, we would be at a disadvantage when discussing the surrender conditions later."

When his words fell, the room sank into silence.

After a long moment, the Protector General said, "Your Highness, this subordinate has heard a rumor since yesterday."

Looking at the Protector General, the Crown Prince asked, "What kind of rumor could interest you, General?"

The Protector General lowered his voice and said, "Rumor has it that Great General Feng has a fiancée, and her true identity is the Goddess from Heaven, Fairy Bai."

The moment his words fell, not only the envoys, but even the Crown Prince was stunned.

Coming back to his senses, the Crown Prince asked grimly, "Have you verified the validity of this rumor?"
