[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

"Don't rush," Gu Yuntian said lazily, though he was secretly disappointed.

It seems this girl is just a lucky country bumpkin.

Just as he was about to speak up and stop the chestnut horse, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange smile flashing across Bai Huang's face.

With a wave of her hand, the lightning element of the five elements instantly gathered in her palm.

Just as the chestnut horse's hind hooves were about to touch the ground, she slapped the horse's leg with her palm.

In an instant, faint flashes of lightning danced in the air.

Although he has not yet mastered any profound techniques, his strength as a one-star profound master is more than enough to deal with a wild horse.

The chestnut horse let out a shrill neigh as it was sent flying and slammed against the wall.

"A thousand miles!" Gu Yuntian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed over.

But Bai Huang stopped him.

Her gaze was sharp, fixed directly on Gu Yuntian's eyes.

Today, she's not just going to tame a wild horse, but also to teach this arrogant horse owner a lesson!

A playful glint flashed in her eyes.

"Cousin, didn't we agree that I would be looking after this horse today?"

"Who's your cousin?!"

Gu Yuntian angrily shook off her hand, then gently said to the chestnut horse, "Qianli, get up quickly, let me see how badly you're injured."

The chestnut horse's eyes revealed an almost human fear. It glanced at Bai Huang tremblingly, but remained motionless.

Bai Huang lazily straightened the sleeve on her wrist that had been flung away, and said in a languid tone:

"Your name is Qianli, right? Get up!"

The chestnut horse immediately stood up.

Gu Yuntian's face was terribly gloomy.

"Come here, a thousand miles away!"

Bai Huang gently beckoned with her finger, her back ramrod straight.

Without hesitation, the chestnut horse trotted over immediately.

She raised an eyebrow, smiling at Gu Yuntian, her words seemingly praising the horse but actually a sarcastic remark: "So obedient!"

The horse was now obediently letting Bai Huang stroke it, and Gu Yuntian's expression changed drastically.

"How could you do this?" Gu Yuntian asked through gritted teeth, clearly unable to accept Ai Ma's "betrayal".

Bai Huang replied casually, "It was just teaching that beast a lesson. Why did you get so angry, cousin? It's just a beast; it naturally listens to whoever has the strongest fist."

She knew in her heart that this fine horse must have been spoiled by Gu Yuntian and had never suffered such hardship.

Unexpectedly, a lesson was enough to make it obedient, saving a lot of trouble.

"It's my comrade-in-arms who's been through thick and thin with me!" Gu Yuntian was furious.

This younger sister is not only cunning but also incredibly cold-blooded.

"Oh? So your cousin also knew it was your comrade-in-arms?" Bai Huang raised her voice, each word like a knife. "You gave it to me so readily just now; I thought you thought it was nothing more than an animal!"

"You didn't even utter a sound when I reprimanded it. A comrade like that is better off without!"

Having said that, Bai Huang shoved the reins into Gu Yuntian's hand, her eyes full of disdain. "I wouldn't dare take my cousin's horse. Forget it, I'll just walk myself."

Gu Yuntian was speechless after hearing these words, as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

Could it be that... he was really wrong just now?

Gu Rou patted his shoulder and whispered, "Cousin, you're too impatient. Today isn't the right time to try and control her. You're showing a complete disregard for Grandpa and Aunt."

Besides, this adopted sister doesn't seem like someone who can be easily manipulated.

Having gotten rid of Gu Yuntian's repulsive face, Bai Huang felt refreshed.

She moved with lightning speed and arrived at the Great Test Grounds in the blink of an eye.

This place was none other than Lingbao Tower, which she had visited before.

Before she even stepped into the building, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance.

Isn't that the old man with the broken spirit?

Where did the scars on his face come from? Bai Huang pondered to herself.

Today, the descendants of the four great families of Tianfeng have gathered here, and the royal family has specially held this grand test for them.

This grand event is not only to test the abilities of the children from these wealthy families, but also to select the best among them for further cultivation.

Bai Huang didn't care about the royal family's favor.

Her gaze fell on something else...

The Bai family's carriage slowly came to a stop in front of Lingbao Tower.

This magnificent carriage, pulled by a snow-white celestial horse, was clearly intended to highlight Bai Zhu's status.

Madam Bai gracefully stepped out of the car, lovingly holding Bai Zhu's hand, creating a heartwarming scene.

All of this was something that the former "White Phoenix" had dreamed of but could never achieve.

Her identity, her mother, everything about her...

A burning rage ignited in Bai Huang's chest, like a ferocious beast about to awaken.

Her face was grim, and her gaze was like a knife as she shot at Madam Bai.

As if sensing something, Madam Bai looked up.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Bai Huang, dressed in a light gold dress, stood proudly.

The surrounding noise seemed to be shut out, unable to shake her in the slightest.

It was as if countless vines were spreading in Bai Huang's eyes, instantly wrapping around Madam Bai's throat.

She was no longer the filthy, timid, and useless Bai Huang.

"Mother? What's wrong?" Bai Zhu gently tugged at her mother's sleeve and asked in confusion.

Madam Bai suddenly came to her senses, her heart pounding.

How can it be?

How did this good-for-nothing daughter end up here?

Wasn't she already... already dead?

Clearly, Bai Sang, who had returned to the Bai family, hadn't had a chance to tell Bai Huang about it yet.

"You..." Madam Bai was furious and was about to scold Bai Huang as she always had.

However, Bai Huang took the initiative to walk over, a contemptuous smile on her face.

"Mrs. Bai? May I have the honor of introducing myself?"

Bai Huang slowly approached, each step seemingly treading on the pent-up anger of the poor girl accumulated over fifteen years.

She raised her chin, her gaze piercing. "I am Bai Huang, Bai Huang of the Gu family!"

Gu Family's White Phoenix!

These four words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Madam Bai deeply disturbed.

"How could you be..." Before Madam Bai could finish speaking, Bai Zhu interrupted impatiently, "Mother, it's her! That adopted daughter of the Gu family, the one who made things difficult for me at the gambling den!"

At this moment, Madam Bai had no mind to pay attention to Bai Zhu's complaints.

She was full of doubts, not understanding how Bai Huang, who had once been considered a good-for-nothing, could become a member of the Gu family.

What puzzled her even more was what Bai Huang's purpose was in coming here.

“Come with me.” Madam Bai subconsciously reached out to pull Bai Huang.

"stop!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck Madam Bai, startling her so much that she quickly conjured a wall of fire to defend herself.

"Who is it?" Madam Bai turned around angrily, only to see Gu Nianci glaring at her with a frosty expression.

"Phoenix, come to your mother quickly." Gu Nianci beckoned to Bai Huang.

The Gu family and the Bai family have a long-standing feud, but it was truly unexpected that Gu Nianci would show such disrespect to Madam Bai.

Gu Yuntian and Gu Rou followed closely behind, their expressions also not very good.

When Bai Huang came to his side, Gu Yuntian hesitated for a long time before whispering a warning: "Our Gu family and the Bai family have never been on good terms. Don't get too close to them. Even if you want to climb the social ladder, never try to marry into the Bai family."
