The Supreme Titan's Ruthless Goddess 41 Playing With High Officials 5

He Lan was quite happy with that stupid Official Shun! No matter what, Bai Feng had no right to point out the mistakes a Supreme being. When his father died he was grateful to Bai Feng for helping him in the war, but because of his help, his wife started screaming everywhere that she was raising him. He was to focus to win the war and avenge his parents that he didn't deal with that rumor when he grew up and understood what Bai Su Zhen was trying to accomplished it was too late to punish. To thank them for their help, he raised Bai Feng to right Prime minister and made Bai Su Zheng to Superior Mother, after all, she fed him at some point. Later on, Bai Su Zhen and her daughter Ping Ting would commit crimes and stay unpunished because he was indulging them. Now they dared cross a line, He never had a feeling for Ping Ting as he saw her as a sister. He couldn't indulge them this time, they touch what was his! No one can bully his Lin'er, no one but Him!

He will punish them but now wasn't the time because he wanted to see how his Lin'er will deal with them.

Xia Lin was happy with how quick Shun Lian was! She just needed to turn him into a faithful dog, because if he was this quick to change side it means that he could also betray her. Now she just needed to play with them!

Shun Lian's word had indeed changed people's view, there wasn't a written law that prevented The Phoenix to seat on the Dragon Throne but there was a law stating that everything belonging to one, also belonged to the other. So logically speaking, she wasn't breaking the law.

Bai Feng knew that he had lost Shun Lian but it was a sacrifice he was willing to make in order to guarantee the safety of his beloved daughter.

"Enough!" She said with a lazy voice as if they were bothering her, she waved her right hands to indicate to the guard to leave Official Shun.

"Official Shun does indeed know the law! I must remind Official Shun to be careful with your choice of word as it could both save and end your clan. As Official Bai Feng suggested I will not take your suggestion to heart, as you've served this realm it would be unfair to lose a faithful subject like you."

Xia Lin said, her seating position indicating that she was done with them but Bai Feng refused to leave! Seeing how he almost escaped death Official Shun let out a sigh of relief, 'For now it's better to follow her and see whether she is worthy to become my new master.'

He thought while lifting his head to take a peek at Xia Lin.

All the high officials had been a.s.sessing the situation, some of them started debating whether to switch side or not. Among them, there was three first-rank high official and three second-rank high officials. Some of them came to curry favor with Prime Minister Bai Feng but they knew some of them were disposable just like Official Shun. If they insisted on pleading on Bai Feng's behalf they will become The Phoenix's enemy, but if they side with the Phoenix they will become enemies with the Bai clan! Official Hong decided to side with the Phoenix. Unlike Official Qiao, Official Gu and Official Shun; Official Hong was a first ranked Official. He didn't need to curry favor to either Bai Feng or Xia Lin, he was an Official who only followed the law. He wasn't faithful to anyone but he was faithful to the Throne, no matter who seats on it!

The other Officials decided to stay on Bai Feng's side, "Your Phoenix, about my daughter please lighten your punishment." Bai Feng knew that it would impossible to make Xia Lin free his daughter like this, so the only thing he could ask for is a lighter punishment.

"Prime Minister Bai? Do you want me to free your daughter or the Supreme One's lady in waiting?"

Bai Feng got confused by her question, along with everyone else. 'What does she means? His daughter was the lady in waiting'

"I implore Your Phoenix to free both!"

"Oh? The Lady in waiting's life is decided by The Phoenix and Your daughter's life is something that I cannot touch. So tell me, as a subject not as a father what should I do Official Hong?" She moved her eyes to look at Official Hong.
