“Okay.” Ling Yue nodded in agreement. Putting aside whether he had any suspicions about Wei Xiuming, even if Wei Xiuming was innocent, he didn’t want him involved. After all, the more people involved, the more chaotic things would become. Besides, the Baili family was nothing to him.

But Miao Su, standing to the side, objected immediately: "But Captain, this matter has official backing! Since the Baili family can command the authorities, why can't we investigate them?"

Wei Xiuming remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard: "Miao Su, this is their family matter, we shouldn't interfere." With that, Wei Xiuming began to see the guest out.

“But…” Miao Su was about to retort when Wei Xiuming turned away, looking as if he wouldn’t listen to her.

"Fine! Since you guys aren't going, I'll go!" Miao Su was puzzled by the indifferent looks from the others. Their team used to be quick to fight and couldn't stand any injustice, but what happened now? What had made them like this?

You have to understand, Baili Pangpang was their teammate for a year! And yet, their teammate was bullied by the family and the authorities, and they couldn't even get justice for him? Miao Su simply couldn't tolerate it.

Thinking of this, Miao Su quickly stepped forward, wanting to catch up with Ling Yue and the other two.

"Enough! Miao Su." Wei Xiuming shouted, stopping Miao Su.

"The waters around the Baili family are murky; let's not get involved. Let's pretend nothing happened, okay?"

As if nothing ever happened? Impossible!

Miao Su did not answer and quickly ran out of the luxury villa.

"Captain, we..." Everyone's faces turned grim.

Wei Xiuming was silent for a moment, then his voice turned cold: "Let's pretend nothing happened, it will all pass soon."

Miao Su quickly ran up behind Ling Yue and the others and called out to them.

"Sister Miao Su? Why are you out here?" Baili Pangpang asked in confusion.

"Hehe, if you've been bullied, I'll definitely get justice for you!" Miao Su forced a smile and patted Baili Pangpang on the shoulder. In fact, not only was Baili Pangpang upset because he had been tricked by Baili Jing, but Miao Su was also in a bad mood at the moment.

Baili Pangpang opened his mouth, wanting to say something to persuade Miao Su to go back, but the words he said changed his mind: "Okay, Sister Miao Su. I'll treat you to a big meal at the Baili family's restaurant after this is all over!"

Ling Yue was somewhat surprised by Miao Su's behavior, but one more person wouldn't hurt, so he simply took Miao Su with him and flew into the sky straight towards Baili's house.

A bright golden light flew rapidly from the sky and landed straight in a small alley.

"Fatty, have you thought it through?" Ling Yue asked, looking at Baili Fatty beside him.

"Yes, I'm going to settle accounts with Baili Jing! As for my father... I don't want to ruin his birthday, I'll tell him after tomorrow's birthday party."

"Okay." Ling Yue nodded slightly, intending to cooperate with Baili Pangpang's plan.

Before long, Ling Yue and his group arrived at the gate of Baili Manor in the city center at their speed.

"Young Master!?" The guard at the door looked at Baili Pangpang with disbelief in his eyes, as if he had seen someone who dared not show himself.

Baili Pangpang stood in front of the crowd, not even glancing at the guards, and said calmly, "Open the door, I want to go in."

The guards looked troubled: "Please wait a moment, young master, we need to ask for instructions."

After saying that, two guards ran quickly into the manor.

Upon seeing this, Baili Pangpang's expression turned somewhat grim. The Yao Guang necklace around his neck transformed into a golden flying sword, which flew directly to the two guards and stuck into the ground.

"When did I start needing permission to go back to my own home?!"

When the guards at the gate saw Baili Pangpang's appearance, they quickly opened the gate and let him in.

"Stop! You can't come in." Ling Yue, Ning Bing, and Miao Su followed behind Baili Pangpang, but the guards at the entrance stopped them.

Ling Yue looked surprised, never expecting that the guard would not learn his lesson and would try to stop Fatty again after just stopping him.

"Get out of the way." Ling Yue's lips moved slightly, and the next moment, several guards were sent flying backward as if they had been hit in the chest by a giant air hammer.

Seeing this, Miao Su opened her mouth, wanting to tell Ling Yue that using forbidden abilities on ordinary people was not allowed, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. After all, getting justice for Baili Pangpang was the most important thing right now.

Baili Pangpang led Ling Yue and the other two to the very center of the manor, pushed open the gate, and went inside.

Inside, a cold-looking middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa with a woman beside him, and a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting opposite him.

Upon hearing the door open, the three of them turned around almost simultaneously.

Their eyes met, and the indifferent man frowned slightly. He glanced briefly at Baili Pangpang before looking at Ling Yue, Ning Bing, and Miao Su behind him.

Upon seeing the three people behind him, especially Ling Yue's face, Baili Xin's eyebrows furrowed tightly. As a high-ranking member of the Night Watch, he had naturally seen Ling Yue in reports, and more than once.

Ling Yue's performance in the Battle of Cangnan alone earned him the highest Star Sea Medal of the Night Watchers. Baili Xin couldn't possibly ignore such a performance, especially since Ling Yue's relationship with Baili Tuming was quite good.

“Father, I’m back.” Baili Pangpang didn’t notice Baili Xin’s indifferent gaze, or perhaps he had grown accustomed to that look.

"Well, bring your friends over for a visit." Baili Xin didn't ask him why he was back so late, because he didn't care. He only cared about his own interests, and Ling Yue's value was clearly the greatest among those present.

Baili Pangpang glanced at Ling Yue, who immediately understood and casually sat down opposite Baili Xin, holding Ning Bing's hand.

"Baili Jing, I have something to tell you." Baili Pangpang didn't want to spoil his father's mood, so he called Baili Jing out.

Baili Jing looked at Baili Xin with a questioning gaze, but Baili Xin didn't even glance at him, ignoring his gaze.

Baili Jing's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this, and he then turned and walked out with Baili Pangpang.

"I've long heard of a genius named Ling Yue in Cangnan City, and now that I see him, he truly is extraordinary." Baili Xin took the teapot from his wife and personally poured water for Ling Yue.

"Heh... I've heard of the Baili Group's reputation before, but now it seems that its fame is more of a facade." Ling Yue chuckled and didn't accept the tea from Baili Xin.

Baili Xin's expression remained unchanged in the face of Ling Yue's actions. A slight smile played on his lips as he asked, "Oh? How did you figure that out?"

Ling Yue originally wanted to tell Baili Xin about Baili Pangpang's attack and ask him if he knew anything about it, but he gave up because of Baili Pangpang's thoughts.

"We were stopped twice by the guards as soon as we entered the gate, once by Fatty and once by me. This shows that the Baili family is full of ignorant fools."

Ling Yue started spouting nonsense. In reality, you couldn't tell anything about the Baili family from this, but he still knew how to spread rumors with just his mouth.

Baili Xin remained unfazed upon hearing this, and immediately shifted the blame to the Baili family: "Baili Jing usually handles the affairs of the Baili family. If this causes you any trouble, I will definitely criticize him in the future."

"I didn't know that the genius Ling Yue would suddenly come here. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in our hospitality." Baili Xin finished his tea in one gulp and placed the teacup on the table.

"I wonder if we could be friends..."
