Old Master Bai looked at the pitiful amount of fish in the box and sighed heavily. He knew that Bai iyue was still upset with him, especially when he saw the abundant fish in the box that Director Feng brought with him and then looked at the six or eight pairs of fish in his own.
"Alright, don’t be so upset," said Director Feng. He patted Old Master Bai on the shoulder and said to him, "At least she is willing to give you so fish, which shows that she is willing to accept you. This is better than nothing; at least she didn’t ignore you like Fu Wan." Earlier, he had run into Xiao Chenye, who was carrying nothing in his hands. Compared to that, Old Master Bai was still in a much better situation.
When Old Master Bai heard his response, his expression softened. Yes, he was still in much better condition. At least Bai iyue was not completely ignoring him; this ant that he still had so chance. He nodded. "You are right. Yueyue sent these fish to because she is still worried about this old man of hers. This is good enough for ."
Director Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his old friend had cald down. However, looking at the puny amount of fish that Bai iyue had sent him, Director Feng had a feeling that the anger of the Bai family was not going to go down easily. He sighed, feeling a bit heavy and hoped that everything would be fine in the future.

While Old Master Bai was thinking about how to make Yan Wanning and Bai iyue forgive him, Bai iyue was looking at Dacheng and Lu Yin, who ca to look for her. Feeling her brow twitch in annoyance. She asked, "What is going on? Why are you two here?"
"It seems like you are getting busier by the day, village head," said Dacheng with a smile. He looked at the many survivors who were taking away the boxes of fish with them, and the smile on his lips turned even stiffer. He couldn’t help but wonder how Bai iyue ended up getting so many fish, and that, too, the normal ones. He wanted to ask Bai iyue about the source from which she got these fish, but he couldn’t because he knew that even if he asked Bai iyue about these fish, she was not going to tell him.
"No matter how busy I am, I am not as busy as soone. What’s the matter? Don’t you want to rest after such a big battle last night?" Bai iyue asked. "I an, no matter what, I can never compare to you, Deputy Commander Dacheng."
Dacheng curled his lips upon hearing her response. "It’s all because of you and Lei Qian. If you two hadn’t stepped back then, how would we have gotten the chance to climb so high? It’s because you two stayed in the back that we were able to get a chance to take over."
Dacheng smiled kindly at Bai iyue. He then turned to look at Lu Yin with a calm look on his face, and the woman bent down to pick up the packages that they had brought with them. "These are a few things that we have brought for your child and you. They are not worth much. Just sothing that we brought for the help that your man had given us last night."
"It’s nothing. But it seems like your information was a bit lacking," said Bai iyue with a raise of her brow. "Yu Miaomiao wasn’t in any of the cars that you told us she would be in. Did no one expect her to go to Bai Feng?"
Once she finished speaking, the smile on her face turned serious. She knew that after Lei Qian helped Dacheng and the rest, they would certainly co to thank her. After all, because of Lei Qian, Dacheng was able to get his hands on more than a thousand ability users whom he could train and use as he wanted. And Bai iyue believed that Dacheng, who was such a deep-minded person and who had climbed up to this position, would have his own plans to deal with the situation at hand.
Sure enough, when Dacheng heard what Bai iyue said, the expression on his face changed and turned serious. "I had no idea about this. It seems like your sister, Bai Xue, escaped from the safe zone and went to Yu Miaomiao, letting her have a handle over Bai Feng. That was how she was able to break free of the defences that Bai Feng had set up. With his family in Yu Miaomiao’s grasp, how can he even think of going against her?"
He sighed and said, "I never expected that the girl would be this foolish. She didn’t want peace, but instead she wanted chaos. Why in the world did she go to look for Yu Miaomiao? As far as I know, that girl was having a decent life in the safe zone under Bai Feng, and yet she went to look for Yu Miaomiao. I really want to crack open her skull and see what goes on inside that mush because why would soone take an unwanted risk when they were living just fine?"
That was the issue. While Dacheng and the others could see that Bai Xue was living a good life, the woman herself was not aware of it. She, who was pampered to death by Chu Xia, must still be thinking that she was being casually treated. Bai iyue knew Bai Xue too well; that girl was spoiled by her mother and was used to being the centre of attention. Now, all of a sudden, all of the attention and special treatnt that she had was snatched away from her. How could she not be upset with it? At this point, anything less than the special treatnt was maltreatnt for Bai Xue. So how could she not be resentful?
