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

Bai Huang's face turned completely black, and she picked up the jade, ready to throw it away!

"This is your life-saving charm!" Luo Jing pressed down on her hand, chuckled, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes. "If you dare to throw this away, see if I'll let it go!"

It was perhaps the fleeting coolness in his eyes that made Bai Huang suddenly recall it.

What kind of person was Luo Jing when you first met him?

Although she didn't know why Luo Jing let her go afterward, she never dared to forget that this man was a very dangerous person.

Perhaps even the Gu family couldn't protect her.

"Alright, I've taken the things, now get lost!" Bai Huang said with a tense face, looking at the sky gradually brightening outside. She was furious. She had wanted to get some rest, but this guy had ruined everything!

Luo Jing stood up, opened the window, and the wind wings behind him extended slowly as he looked out.

Like a demon fallen to earth, it breaks through the gloom and emerges with the first rays of dawn at the boundary between black and white!

He stepped onto the windowsill, paused, and turned around to say, "Bai Huang... don't die in there."

Bai Huang sneered.

"I will definitely outlive you!"

"That's true." Luo Jing scoffed lightly, "After all, evil deeds live on for a thousand years!"

With a flick of his wings, he vanished from the spot.

Bai Huang realized that she also had wind-type talent!

"Hmph! So what if you have wings? I'll learn wind magic and add fire or even lightning elements to your wings. They'll look way better than yours!"

"Hey! Bai Huang, let's go. Are you still sleeping?"

Gu Xiao's shouts came from the doorway.

Bai Huang opened the door expressionlessly.

Gu Xiao donned a suit of armor, the Xuan energy fluctuations on it were extremely powerful, clearly indicating it was a defensive spiritual treasure.

"You're just going to go like this?" Gu Xiao stared wide-eyed at Bai Huang, who seemed no different from usual. "Grandpa told me that you've been in seclusion for the past two weeks, are you sure you can handle it? I've already perfected my profound techniques, don't you dare hold me back... Sigh, are you even listening to me?"

Seeing that Bai Huang was ignoring him and walking outside, Gu Xiao was furious and followed after her.

Grandpa Gu stood at the door, and Gu Nianci looked worried, but she didn't say anything.

"Grandpa, we're off!" The two mounted their horses, and Gu Xiao galloped away first.

Bai Huang, on the other hand, strolled leisurely behind.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Old Master Gu finally sighed.

"Father, could that Third Elder from last time be...?" Gu Nianci turned around, her gaze falling into the distance. "The one whose arm my eldest brother cut off back then?"

Old Master Gu also had a stern expression.

"The Xuanmeng Alliance has endured for so many years, it's probably reached its limit..."

……

After traveling for about half a day, Bai Huang and Gu Xiao arrived outside the ruins.

"So many people?" Gu Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and revealed a fierce look. "That's great, I like a lively atmosphere."

"White Phoenix!"

A surprised voice suddenly came from behind.

Hua Cheng was accompanied by Hua Miaoyu. As the two walked over, Hua Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"From the Hua family!" Gu Xiao greeted Hua Miaoyu with a smile, "Little beauty, it's been a long time!"

Hua Miaoyu gritted her teeth as soon as she saw Gu Xiao, the two of them clearly had a past grudge. "Gu Xiao, it seems you don't feel ashamed at all about the miserable state you were in when Bai Huang beat you like a dead dog last time, and you still dare to show up here."

Gu Xiao smiled and counted on his fingers, "You've lost to me so many times, but you're still eating and drinking well, aren't you?"

If conditions allowed, Bai Huang had no doubt that the two would definitely start fighting on the spot.

"You're all here." A voice, tinged with a strange, perfumed scent, cut in. The four turned around and saw a flashy but impractical folding fan unfold with a swish.

Shangguan Ming strolled over leisurely, his jade fan rustling as he waved it.

"You must be Bai Huang?" Shangguan Ming asked, rushing towards Bai Huang as soon as he spoke.

Bai Huang sneered, "Didn't we meet at the last palace banquet? Do I need to tell you my name again?"

That's a really annoying way to start a conversation.

Shangguan Ming was taken aback by the remark, and his expression froze slightly, but he quickly recovered.

“Everyone says you have a bad temper, and it’s true.” He had a look on his face that said, ‘I’m very interested in you,’ and the breeze from his folding fan blew the scent of his perfume onto Bai Huang.

She covered her nose in disgust.

"It's the dead of winter, and you don't have ice-type mystic power, so stop fanning yourself." Bai Huang looked at him coldly. "Also, your perfume is too strong, stay away from me!"

Shangguan Ming's fan stopped moving, his smile froze, and he looked incredibly strange.

"Pfft!" Hua Miaoyu burst out laughing. Everyone knew that Shangguan Ming was indeed talented, but what he was most proud of was his handsome face. He would apply cosmetics that only women would use to his face every day, and he also liked to carry a folding fan to pretend to be elegant.

Believe it or not, young girls these days really like these kinds of seemingly frail but actually quite talented scions of aristocratic families.

"Brother, why are you wasting your breath talking to this wild girl!" Shangguan Ling'er pulled Bai Zhu along as they walked over.

The Xuan Qi fluctuations emanating from the two individuals were much stronger, and Bai Huang sensed it with a slight effort to know that they had already entered the Xuan Master level.

In just half a month... it seems they used some rare and precious treasure?

Ever since Bai Huang arrived, Bai Zhu's expression has become terribly distorted.

Behind her followed a young man shrouded in a black robe, half of his face covered in burns and whip marks.

His face was expressionless, as if he were a killing machine.

Bai Huang knew him; he was Bai Wenxiao of the Bai family, the only child in the Bai family with exceptional talent who was not loved, simply because he was born with heterochromia. The Bai family said he was a cursed child.

Born of a collateral branch, with both parents deceased, she was a dog raised by Madam Bai, and also the sharpest blade.

"What?!" Hua Miaoyu took a step back in disgust as soon as she saw him. "The white dog actually came too!"

This child was hated by everyone in the Bai family, but his duty was to protect the direct descendants of the Bai family and to die for them if necessary.

Isn't that ridiculous?

But such things happen and exist!

Bai Wenxiao lowered his head.

He remained motionless, like a dead body.

"Bai Wenxiao! Come here!" Bai Zhu's eyes also showed a hint of disgust. "Go get me some water! My shoes are all dirty."

She lifted her foot, and a pearl on it was stained with a bit of mud.

Bai Wenxiao blinked, his pupils a strange deep purple, and he glanced at Bai Zhu.

"What are you looking at! Go away, or I'll have my mother skin you alive when we get back!" Bai Zhu kicked him.

Bai Wenxiao's lips twitched twice, then he turned his head blankly and headed towards the pond.

"Everyone's here." A man walked past Bai Wenxiao, his eyes smiling. His long, royal blue robe accentuated his gentle and refined demeanor. "How about we go in together?"

Bai Zhu changed her expression instantly, saying, "Alright, let's go together. Those small clans won't be able to cause any trouble."

Her eyes darted around, and she said ingratiatingly, "Among us, Brother Fengyu is the strongest. So, Brother Fengyu must be our leader, right?"

The men had different expressions, but none of them said anything.

Bai Huang raised her eyes and glanced lightly at Feng Yu.

He took a step back.

"I don't recall... saying I wanted to be with you, did I?" Bai Huang said coldly.
