Chapter 70: Blood Feast Dining Together

She ruffled Qing’Er’s hair. Qing’Er’s eyes quivered a little, then opened. When she saw Liu Rushuang, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. “Young Miss, is it morning yet?” She asked with a smile on her face.

Liu Rushuang’s face was instantly covered in cold sweat. She really is the most unreliable maid… But she liked her. “If you don’t want to go eat, then you can continue to sleep,” she said with a gentle smile.

Qing’Er furrowed her brows and thought about it for a moment before she suddenly came to a sudden realisation. “Oh yeah! Young Miss, we haven’t even had lunch yet!”

Liu Rushuang slightly grinned and said, “In the afternoon, I’ll have to dine in the main hall, so I can’t be with you.”

“Ok, Young Miss. It should be almost time now. Let me comb your hair for you,” Qing’Er said with a smile.

Liu Rushuang looked cold and distant, as she got out of bed and sat in front of the dressing table. Qing’Er helped Liu Rushuang do her make up, just as she did it when they previously stayed at Blood Feast.

Some hair fell naturally in the front, whilst the others were combed up into a topknot with three plum blossom flowers made of pure gold and ruby gems inserted into it. There was a semi-circle a.s.sessory with three dangling rubies and gold engraved flowers upon her bright forehead, as it conveniently hid the plum blossom mark.

After Liu Rushuang got all dressed up, she left the room and was first to take a seat in the main hall.

The main hall was in the other cliff. The building was very large and it had different designs engraved into the walls. Gla.s.s lanterns hung from the room, and there was a round, black table in the centre of the room with the Datura flower engraved upon it. Quite a few guards stood all around the main hall.

After people who worked in the dining hall placed a spread of various exotic foods on the table, the four great clan masters, the Enforcement house, the Medical house and all the commanders arrived on time.

Sixteen people entered in total and stood around the round table. “Greetings, milady!” They cried politely in unison.

Liu Rushuang glanced up at the eighteen masters in management, who were all dressed in black.

“Please sit,” she said flatly.

“Yes, milady,” everyone replied before they took their seats.

The four elders from the enforcement house sat on the right of Liu Rushuang. The youngest of them was over forty years old. Their martial arts and experience weren’t beneath that of the four clan masters. For the most part, the people of the Enforcement House were responsible for the strong development and supervision of the Blood Feast’s enterprises.

The four doctors of the Medical House, who looked over sixty years old and had white hair, sat beside the Enforcement House.

Ming Ye, Lin Ye, Mo Ye, and Mei Ye, who were responsible for training and examinations, sat on Liu Rushuang’s left.

The other four commanders were responsible for other affairs.

Two years ago, Liu Rushuang defeated the four clan masters and the clan leader. She also pa.s.sed the Enforcement House’s examination, took the clan leader’s position and earned the equal rank as the Enforcement House.

The Grand Elder of the Enforcement House looked about eighty years old. He kept a long white beard, had moon-shaped eyes and looked very affectionate. After he took his seat, he asked with a smile, “Hey little girl, couldn’t stand it at the Minister’s manor?”

Liu Rushuang shot a glance at the kind elderly man who was actually conniving, and flatly said, “If I don’t come back, then I’m afraid that Blood Feast will have to change leaders.”

The Grand Elder couldn’t help but smile, as he always thought this little girl was unfit to be the clan leader and he did in fact try to find the next generation clan leader.

“Little girl, what do you take the Enforcement House for? Since when could we just casually change the clan leader?”

Liu Rushuang looked over at the Grand Elder’s fake smile and smiled back faintly in silence.

The Second Elder was about seventy years old, slightly fat and looked really honest. He stared at Liu Rushuang with his strict tiger-like eyes, and spoke with a deep voice. “You actually sent a.s.sa.s.sins to kill the crown prince of Nanli. What if someone found out we were behind it? For no reason, Blood Feast would definitely have to take on the blame for killing the crown prince, and what then? How would Blood Feast stand tall?”
