"Apparently, her 'Young Master' is here to meet with Young Lady Min Li." The guard responded to Min Yide's question.
"Young Master?" Min Yide suddenly burst out laughing after hearing the guard's words.
"Are you sure she's the real Madam Feng? First of all, Madam Feng left the Golden Phoenix Bazaar a while ago and hasn't been seen since then. Why would she suddenly show up here for Min Li?"
"And her 'Young Master'? I know Madam Feng very well! There's no way that she'd lower herself for another individual! She's a fake! A fake, I tell you!" Min Yide continued laughing.
"Then what about the Royal Guest Medallion?" The guard asked.
"Did anyone verify if it was real or fake?"
"N-No… It would've been disrespectful to Madam Feng, as verifying the medallion is akin to doubting her credibility... " The guard shook his head.
"Just kick them out."
Although he had a bad feeling about Min Yide's orders, the guard didn't dare to disobey him.
"As you command! Please excuse this subordinate!"
The guard quickly returned to Yuan and the others to notify them of Min Yide's response.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave this place now."
"What?" Yuan looked at him with wide eyes.
Didn't he leave to get information on Min Li's location? How did it end up getting them kicked out?"Is this a joke?" Feng Yuxiang stared at the guard with a deep frown on her face, looking like she was on the verge of attacking him for making such a joke.
"I am not joking. The head of the family, Min Yide, has ordered you all to leave this place as soon as possible." The guard repeated.
"Min Yide, huh? When did this bastard become so daring? Let me speak with him!"
"That won't be possible…"
"I am not asking you. I am telling you." Feng Yuxiang suddenly released her Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base, instantly terrifying the guard who was a mere Spirit Warrior.
"S-Spirit Grandmaster! You're the real Madam Feng?!" The guard fell to his buttocks from shock.
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I am real!"
The guard immediately got onto his knees and began kowtowing to her.
"Please forgive this disrespectful junior for mistaking Madam Feng as a fake!"
And in order to save himself a little face, the guard explained to them that Min Yide was the one who told him that she was fake.
"Hmph! Bring me to him!" Feng Yuxiang coldly snorted afterward.
"R-Right away!"
The guard no longer dared to delay things and immediately brought Feng Yuxiang and the others to meet Min Yide.
"Family Head! M-Madam Feng— she's here to see you!" The guard knocked on his door and shouted from the outside.
"I told you to kick out that fake! How dare you come back here with her?! Are you begging to get fired?!" Min Yide's angry voice quickly resounded.
Bang!
Feng Yuxiang suddenly kicked down the door before walking inside the room with a domineering aura around her.
"I dare you to call me a fake again, Min Yide!" Feng Yuxiang stared at Min Yide, who was sitting behind his desk with a gawking face.
"Y-Y-You?! Impossible!"
"Impossible, your mother! Look at my face and tell me I am a fake again!" Feng Yuxiang then retrieved the Royal Guest Medallion and tossed it at Min Yide.
"Look at that medallion and tell me it's fake! I dare you!"
Min Yide held the medallion with trembling hands.
'I-It's real! She's the real Madam Feng!' Min Yide felt his heart drop all the way to his stomach when he realized this fact.
"You know, with the amount of discount I gave your family, I expected to be treated with some respect at the very least. I have done business with your Min Family for thousands of years, giving you billions of gold coins in discounts, yet I am treated like trash when I visit your family. If your ancestors were here, I wonder what they'll say..." Feng Yuxiang sighed out loud.
"P-Please forgive me, Madam Feng! I really thought you were a fake!" Min Yide quickly got onto his knees without caring for his image as the head of the Min Family.
And he continued, "I will accept any punishment from you! Please! Let me apologize to you properly!"
"Then tell me where Min Li is located so that my Young Master can speak with her." Feng Yuxiang said.
"Right away! Please, follow me! I will take you to her!" Min Yide quickly stood up and began walking towards the door.
"Let's go, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang then said to him.
Yuan nodded and followed Min Yide to where they were keeping Min Li.
When they arrived, Feng Yuxiang sneered in a cold voice, "A confinement formation? Are you keeping a prisoner inside this room or something?"
"A-Actually, Min Li is currently grounded and being disciplined for failing an important mission, and in order to prevent her from running away, we placed her inside." Min Yide made up a random excuse.
"Mission? What kind of mission?" Feng Yuxiang asked, acting ignorant about the situation.
"W-Well… It's a very sensitive subject…" Min Yide said, trying to tell her that he doesn't want to talk about it in the vaguest way possible.
"Whatever." Feng Yuxiang shrugged, as she was already aware of the situation.
Min Yide knocked on the door a moment later and said, "Min Li! You have a visitor!"
Min Li, who has been staring outside the window with a dazed face, turned to look at the door after hearing her father's voice.
'Visitor? The Gu Family?' Min Li's initial thought was that the Gu Family had come to visit her. After all, who else could possibly visit her during such a time?
The door opened a moment later without Min Li doing anything, and Yuan calmly entered the room the next second.
"E-Eh…? D-Disciple Yuan? Is that really you?" Min Li's eyes widened with shock the instant she saw his handsome face, and she immediately wondered if she had accidentally dozed off into dreamland, hence the current situation that shouldn't be possible.
