After Shen Shen left, Di Xuanshang walked to Shen Yunxi's side, his deep eyes fixed on her with a hint of inquiry: "Xi'er, are you really at the first level of Spirit Venerable? I don't think so."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to see through all her pretense.

Shen Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to tell them the truth.

After all, some things can be kept secret for a while, but not forever. "Alright, I'll confess, I'm actually a first-level Spirit Saint."

As soon as she finished speaking, two figures pounced over almost simultaneously; it was Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu, who had arrived late.

Their faces were filled with worry, and Shen Ruoning grabbed Shen Yunxi's wrist without saying a word, placing her slender fingers on her pulse to examine it carefully.

"Thank goodness, I'm alright." Shen Ruoning breathed a sigh of relief, and her delicate brows relaxed.

Shen Ruoyu chimed in, "You scared me to death, Mother. Could you please let me know in advance next time you break through? I have a heart condition."

Shen Yunxi smiled helplessly and rubbed their heads: "Alright, alright, I was just afraid you'd worry."

After calming her two children, Shen Yunxi remembered that she had important things to do today.

"By the way, I promised Bai Ruoan that I would help him awaken his companion soul spirit. Today is the agreed time, so I have to go to the Bai family."

Di Xuanshang and Zhiyan exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

The Bai family is no benevolent family, especially the patriarch Bai Zhenting, who is notoriously ruthless and lecherous.

“I’ll go with you,” Di Xuanshang said in a deep voice.

"No need, I can go by myself." Shen Yunxi waved her hand. "If you go, you might alert them."

After saying that, she turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

The Bai family mansion is heavily guarded, with high walls and array formations surrounding it, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.

But all of this was meaningless to Shen Yunxi.

She smiled dismissively, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure swept over the high wall like a ghost, silently sneaking into the Bai family's residence.

The Bai family estate covers a vast area, with pavilions and towers arranged in a well-organized manner.

Shen Yunxi didn't know where Bai Ruoan lived, so she just grabbed a passing maid.

The maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had a pretty face, but she was so frightened by Shen Yunxi's sudden appearance that she dropped the teacup in her hand with a "crack" and shattered it on the ground.

"Take me to Bai Ruoan's residence." Shen Yunxi's tone was icy, and the dagger in her hand was pressed against the maid's neck, gleaming with a chilling light.

The maid, terrified, pointed tremblingly in a direction: "In...there...over there...in the most secluded courtyard..."

Shen Yunxi sheathed her dagger and snorted coldly, "Lead the way."

The maid led the way cautiously, not daring to breathe too loudly the whole way.

Bai Ruoan's residence was located in the most remote corner of the Bai family compound, overgrown with weeds, clearly neglected for a long time. The maidservant walked along trembling with fear, terrified that Shen Yunxi might kill her at any moment.

Finally arriving at their destination, the maid breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously asked, "Young master, may I...may I go now?"

"Don't make a sound, or else..." Shen Yunxi said coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

The maid stood frozen in place, hesitating for a moment before finally managing to plead, "Please... don't hurt him... he... he's completely helpless..."

The maid turned deathly pale with fright and nodded frantically, "I promise I won't tell, young master, please spare my life!" After a moment's hesitation, she mustered her courage and said, "Young master, please... please don't hurt Young Master Ruo'an, he... he's completely helpless..."
