"L-Lady Ning! What are you doing?!" The guard exclaid with a shocked expression on his face after she kicked down the door to Bai Xutao’s training area.
"You didn’t disobey Xutao’s order since I will be forcing my way to him," she said to him.
"That’s not the issue here..." the guard wore a look of disbelief.
Bai Ning narrowed her eyes at him and spoke in a threatening voice, "What? Should I tear one of your limbs to make it more convincing?"
The guard trembled in fear, and he imdiately took several steps back.
"That won’t be necessary, Lady Ning!"
Then, without hesitation, the guard punched himself in the face with so much force that he knocked himself out cold.
"..."
Bai Ning stared at the guard’s unconscious body for a brief mont before turning around and walking into the cave.
Inside was a long descending staircase that continued for several minutes.
Eventually, Bai Ning arrived before another closed door.
Bai Ning glanced at the tal door for a mont before lifting her slender leg and also kicking it down with a loud bang.
Bai Ning stepped through the shattered entrance into a massive training hall. The space was filled with a wide array of anities—racks of weapons lined the walls, several cauldrons brimd with dicinal pills, and further in, a luxurious bathtub sat quietly.
In the middle of this training hall was none other than Bai Xutao, who appeared to be in a vicious battle against a ghost as he constantly swung at the empty air before him.
Bai Ning approached him, but before she could even call out to him, Bai Xutao suddenly lunged in her direction with imnse killing intent.
Judging by Bai Xutao’s blank expression, he was likely too absorbed in his training and instinctively attacked Bai Ning.
"You dare bare your claws at ? You must have forgotten how to behave in just a few short years!" Bai Ning sneered without an ounce of concern within her.
Then, she raised her hand and gave a powerful slap to Bai Xutao in the face once he was close enough.
Pap!
Bai Xutao was sent flying instantly, his body slamming into the tal wall monts later.
"Which fucking bitch dares to disturb my training?!" Bai Xutao cursed out loud the mont he snapped out of his daze.
However, when his eyes snapped to Bai Ning, they imdiately widened with horror.
"S-Senior Sister Ning? What are you doing here...?" He asked her in a timid voice, even appearing as harmless as possible before her presence.
"Co with ," she said, not even bothering to offer an explanation.
"What is this about? I don’t have that much ti to spare. Once I finish my training, I am imdiately going to return to the lower heaven to find that bastard who humiliated ," he said.
"Are you questioning ?" Bai Ning narrowed her eyes at him.
"I-I am just asking for clarification... I have received Father’s approval, too."
"You can get your revenge later. This matter is much more important, and it probably won’t take long. If you dare dillydally any longer, I’ll forcefully drag you out of here."
"Ok, ok! I will co with you! Just give a minute to clean up..."
Soti later, Bai Xutao followed Bai Ning outside. The first thing he noticed was the guard who was still lying unconscious by the entrance.
"What a useless bastard..." he mumbled under his breath.
As they traveled to Yuan, Bai Ning said, "Listen here, you troublemaker. We’re about to et soone incredibly important. I don’t know why he wants to et you, but you will treat him like you treat our father. If I dare sense any disrespect from you, I’ll make you beg to kill you."
Bai Xutao wore a look of disbelief on his face as he realized the reason for Bai Ning’s appearance.
"I have never seen you treat soone with such importance. Who the hell is this guy, and what does he want with ?" Bai Xutao frowned.
Bai Ning suddenly stopped moving and turned around to slap Bai Xutao in the face.
"That will be my first and last warning to you. Don’t you dare use that disrespectful tone before him. Also, I already said I don’t know why he wants to et you, but from the sound of it, you seem to know each other."
Bai Xutao rubbed his face with a defeated face, looking like he had been wronged.
’Who the hell is this bastard? I don’t recall knowing anyone so important to her... It’s not like we’re eting the Immortal Monarch, so why is she acting like this?’ Bai Xutao sighed inwardly, no longer daring to speak out loud.
Eventually, they arrived at their destination.
"I have returned with Bai Xutao." Bai Ning knocked on the door this ti to announce their presence.
Bai Xutao swallowed nervously as they waited for the door to open.
The door opened a few monts later, and it was Bai Xutao’s servant who greeted them.
"The esteed guest is waiting inside..."
Bai Ning entered the house without a hint of hesitation, her steps firm and confident.
anwhile, Bai Xutao stood motionless at the threshold, a strange expression twisting his face, as though he’d forgotten how to move.
’What is this feeling...?’ he wondered, staring at the open doorway.
His instincts scread at him—warning him not to step inside.
"Bai Xutao! What are you doing? Hurry up and co inside!" Bai Ning’s voice snapped him out of his daze, and before he realized, Bai Xutao had entered the house.
The sense of dread beca undeniable and was almost suffocating, but Bai Xutao ignored it and subconsciously followed Bai Ning’s presence.
Once he entered the living room with Bai Ning, Bai Xutao could see three other individuals there. He instantly recognized Bai Sulan, but he didn’t instantly recognize Feng Yuxiang or Yuan.
’Who the hell is this guy? I definitely don’t know him!’ Bai Xutao exclaid inwardly after seeing Yuan’s handso face.
