Bai Zhenting's face was deathly pale. He could clearly feel the chill emanating from the tip of the sword. The shadow of death loomed over him, making him tremble all over.

“You…you can’t kill me! I…I am the head of the Bai family…” he stammered, his voice trembling violently.

Shen Yunxi sneered, "Patriarch of the Bai family? In my eyes, you're nothing but a stray dog!"

Her eyes flashed with even more murderous intent, and she was about to make a move when suddenly, a bright yellow figure descended from the sky and blocked Bai Zhenting's path.

"How dare you! You commit murder in the imperial city!"

The newcomer was dressed in a bright yellow python robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, wearing a gold crown inlaid with jade, and a white jade belt around his waist, exuding an aura of imperial majesty. His gaze was sharp as a knife, sweeping across the chaotic battle, and when it finally landed on Shen Yunxi, who was holding the Xuan Tian Sword, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Shen Yunxi! It's actually the good-for-nothing Shen Yunxi who disappeared for six years!

Shen Yunxi's eyes flickered slightly when she saw the newcomer, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips. Enemies meeting again are bound to be filled with hatred; one of the people who plotted against the original owner of this body had finally stood before her. It was time to settle both old and new scores, but now was not the time to deal with him.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Zhenting felt as if he had grasped a lifeline; his legs went weak, and he knelt down in overwhelming emotion. He crawled to the newcomer, grabbed his legs, and cried out, tears streaming down his face, "Your Highness! Save me! Save me!"

His voice trembled, choked with sobs, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Before anyone knew it, Shen Ruoyu had bypassed the crowd and quietly arrived beside Shen Yunxi. He crossed his arms, his small face showing a maturity beyond his years, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Mother, this Bai family head is truly an eye-opener."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Bai Zhenting, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face. The sarcasm on his lips deepened. "So cowardly and lacking in any demeanor of a family head, how did he manage to become the head of the Bai family? Is the Bai family out of talent?"

He tilted his head, feigning confusion, and asked with a mocking tone.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat!" Enraged by the mockery of a child, Bai Zhenting turned sharply and roared at Shen Ruoyu.

He was already furious because he had been defeated by Shen Yunxi, and now he was being mocked by a mere child, which made him feel even more humiliated.

"Believe it or not, I, the head of the family, will deal with you right now!" he roared hoarsely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the child.

The violent movement aggravated the wound on his shoulder, causing him to grimace in pain, yet he still glared fiercely at Shen Ruoyu.

"Ha! Let's see who dies first, you or my darling!" Shen Yunxi sneered. "Is there anything wrong with what my son said? Look at yourself now, you're not even as good as a dog!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yunxi held the tip of the Xuan Tian Sword still against Bai Zhenting's throat, and blood dripped down the blade, blooming into bewitching blood flowers on the ground.

Crown Prince Xiao Huan's face darkened. He hated being disobeyed, especially by a good-for-nothing he had abandoned. He said coldly, "You dare to lay a hand on me? Do you think you can take me seriously?"

"Heh," Shen Yunxi looked at Xiao Huan with sarcasm, "Your Highness, what a grand display of power! Do you think you're the one who calls the shots in this world? Wait, that's not right. His Majesty is in good health. It seems you're just holding the title of Crown Prince!"
