Bai Qian glanced at Ling Xi again. By this time, Ling Xi had probably calmed down and sighed softly while holding the beads in her hand.
"If you're not willing, then forget it for now. But since things are like this, I should at least give you something of equal value in compensation, right?" she said softly, looking at Bai Qian.
Lingxi did think so; she couldn't let this person suffer a loss in this matter.
But Bai Qian was clearly not interested in what she was talking about.
Bai Qian glanced at the girl's beautiful yet serious face.
He ignored her and turned to look at Pei Huan again.
"Someone is looking for you outside," a clear voice rang out.
Pei Huan, who was intently gazing at Bai Qian's profile, paused upon hearing this.
Find me?
Just as I lifted the carriage curtain, intending to get down and take a look...
The moon-white mist transformed into a delicate peach blossom.
"Take it," Bai Qian said seriously.
"If you're unhappy, just smoke it. Don't be afraid of people dying."
"If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility."

After get off work, I took a nap, but ended up sleeping until 2:30 AM, which is why I'm updating so late. I'll start adding more updates after tomorrow's holiday; I won't say exactly how much, let's see if I can surprise everyone QAQ
Volume 1: 156. Asahi King's Power Experience Card
Pei Huan was a little nervous, and the reason for her nervousness was the moon-white peach blossom branch in her hand.
The delicate peach blossoms are adorned with equally moon-white flowers, giving a fresh and radiant feeling, much like springtime.
If Pei Huan hadn't witnessed every single second of this peach blossom from its appearance to its full bloom...
The peach blossom branch is currently in full bloom, but Pei Huan is clearly aware of just how terrifying this peach blossom in her hand truly is.
It wasn't heavy, but when you held it in your hand, it felt heavier than a mountain. Even though a gust of wind would be enough to blow the petals off the peach blossom, it still felt frighteningly heavy.
Especially now that it's in your hands.
Pei Huan glanced at the opposite side.
A tall woman in a red dress, with a somewhat thin face, stood behind two men in black.
This is the person blocking the way, the one Bai Qian wanted to say, someone she wouldn't mind killing?
As my master Qian said, killing him is fine, but only if Pei Huan has the guts.
Pei Huan naturally recognized the person opposite him.
Pei Ru is also a member of the Pei family and can be considered Pei Huan's cousin. However, although they are cousins, their relationship is not necessarily that close.
Most of the time, Pei Huan had little interaction with this person, and even when they did interact, they were always on opposing sides.
In most cases, the reason for standing on the opposite side is because of family interests.
The Pei family is a relatively large family, and its members are not a monolithic entity; conflicts are inevitable.
Pei Ru was one of the people who had a major conflict with Pei Huan, perhaps because of something like the succession to the family headship.
Pei Huan originally thought that although there were some conflicts between the two sides, it shouldn't have reached the point of a real life-or-death struggle.
But now...
Holding a light peach blossom branch in her hand, Pei Huan frowned and glanced at the two men in black next to Pei Ru.
When Pei Ru saw Pei Huan step down from the carriage, she smiled slightly, a hint of smugness appearing on her glamorous face.
"What are you doing here?" Pei Huan asked, frowning as she looked at Pei Ru.
Pei Ru didn't say anything upon hearing this, but only glanced at the peach blossom branch in Pei Huan's hand with a hint of amusement.
"What I do here is none of your business," Pei Ru said with a soft chuckle.
"Besides, I'm the one who should be asking this question now," the woman sneered.
"The outcome of the family's previous discussion is already quite clear. If you know what's good for you, you should take the initiative to seek understanding from the Lotus Sect, instead of wandering around Changcheng Mansion like this."
"What do you expect to get out of this?" Her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but it was essentially just a pretext for her to make trouble.
In fact, no matter what kind of reason or cause is used, as long as it is an opportunity to make trouble for Pei Huan, that is fine.
Of course, Pei Huan herself was well aware of this, so she simply frowned and glanced at Pei Ru without saying anything more.
"So, what's going on now?" Pei Huan looked at the two men behind Pei Ru.
Pei Ru didn't waste any words and gently raised her head.
In that instant, the two men in black behind her transformed into two shadow-like figures and rushed towards Pei Huan.
It moved at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react to, a speed even more terrifying than a flying arrow.
Pei Huan naturally couldn't react, but she didn't need to.
The hand holding the peach blossom branch was raised, like a puppet being manipulated.
The two men in black had just approached Pei Huan when the peach blossom branch suddenly condensed into a clear sword light.
Their steps abruptly halted, as they tried to avoid the sword light, which resembled a clear, secluded spring.
Pei Huan took two steps forward, blood splattering onto his sleeves.
The two heads rolled on the ground, leaving a conspicuous and graceful trail.
Pei Ru had a smug expression one second, but the next second, after witnessing everything, she changed her demeanor.
He was taken aback at first, then pointed at Pei Huan, his mouth agape but he didn't know what to say.
“You…” Her throat was a little dry.
These two men were martial artists she had specifically sought out; they were experts at the Meridian Opening Realm, quite rare even in the entire Changcheng Prefecture. Originally, she had expected them to be more than capable of dealing with Pei Huan.
If you capture Pei Huan and hand him over to the Lotus Life Sect, not only can you manage things at home, but the sect might also reward you.
But the current situation...
Pei Huan glanced at the two corpses beside her, feeling somewhat helpless. This was not what she wanted to do. She usually wouldn't even dare to touch a chicken, let alone something like this.
Of course, this is not something you can decide on your own.
Pei Ru snapped out of her daze, realized what was happening, and without bothering to say anything more to Pei Huan, simply turned and ran.
As she ran, she pulled the red jade around her neck and threw it on the ground.
The next second, a blood-red lotus flower bloomed from the red jade.
Countless petals rushed towards Pei Huan on the wind.
Pei Huan instinctively wanted to back away and dodge.
But her body told her no.
She casually lifted the peach branch and then cut it down.
Previously, when Pei Huan saw Bai Qian make a move, she didn't really understand what it meant; she only knew that her master, Bai Qian, had raised her hand.
The enemy is dead.
Most enemies don't even see the second sword strike; they only see the second move, which means they expend more energy.
Pei Huan had never practiced martial arts, so he didn't really understand what this concept meant.
But at this moment, she seemed to realize what this meant.
Holding the peach blossom branch, she felt as if she had entered some strange and ethereal realm, where she could clearly hear her own heartbeat, the sound of raindrops hitting the earth, the rustling of the wind through her sleeves, and a shower of blood-red petals rushing towards her.
It felt as if her palm was being held by a soft, slender hand, and she gently controlled her body.
The peach blossoms rose in a graceful arc before falling.
The atmosphere seemed to tremble slightly, or perhaps some unique melody was drifting through the air, while a bright, moon-white sword aura rose from the peach blossom branch.
Pei Huan could feel everything that was happening, as if it were a thread being manipulated by that invisible hand.
Until she plucked the strings in the air, the silk threads pierced through the rain and transformed into sword energy.
The rain opened a passage, gently slicing open the rain-covered ground.
The petals were all cut off, like a clean and bright line, drawing a straight line that stretched from the peach blossom branch in Pei Huan's palm to Pei Ru in the distance.
The woman's figure stiffened, her upper body slowly shifting away from her lower body. As the rain closed in, her two bodies collided and she fell into the rain.
Volume 1: Chapter 157, For smashing heads
Pei Huan opened the carriage door and saw the black-haired girl half-lying on the small bed in the carriage, engrossed in reading a storybook.
Her slender, shapely legs were half-curled up, and white socks that revealed a hint of flesh were worn on her feet. Her fair skin with a rosy glow was still clearly visible under the socks. Her beautiful arches rested on the silk bed. She leaned quietly against the wall of the carriage, looking at the storybook in her arms.
She would occasionally pick up a piece of candy from the side and eat it, her red lips occasionally pursing her crystal-clear, jade-like fingers.
Pei Huan gazed at Bai Qian's exquisite profile, as beautiful as the bright moon, and was slightly lost in thought.
It's hard to imagine that such terrifying power is hidden in this slender, petite body.
Although I knew Bai Qian was very powerful, I didn't have a concrete understanding of it.
But now, after truly experiencing her power.
That kind of power is unimaginably strong.
If Pei Huan were to describe her feelings, she would probably just feel somewhat inferior right now.
It should indeed be said that he was insecure. Pei Huan didn't have any ambition to begin with. Before, he had just been drifting through life, doing what his family told him to do, and often catering to other people's ideas.
After meeting Bai Qian, his previously empty heart was filled. At first, it was simply because Bai Qian had saved him, and he wanted to repay her.
But upon seeing that white-clad figure, one is naturally captivated; the power and beauty are beyond words.
By now, Pei Huan has already started to call herself Bai Qian's supporter. She doesn't expect anything else; as long as Bai Qian sees her, that's enough.
As long as you can see yourself, that's enough.
But now, having truly experienced this beauty and power, Pei Huan is somewhat silent. She doesn't know what she should do to be worthy of Bai Qian.
If Bai Qian is like the clear and bright moon in the sky, then I am probably not even a firefly.
"What's wrong?" A cool voice entered his ears, interrupting Pei Huan's thoughts.
Pei Huan glanced cautiously at Bai Qian opposite him, meeting her clear, cold eyes before suppressing the jumbled thoughts in his mind.
"It's nothing, I was just wondering if it's okay to kill him like this?"
"Mm." Bai Qian nodded and closed the storybook in her hand.
"It's alright, I'll handle it if anyone comes looking for me," Bai Qian said, shaking her head as she sat on the bed with her legs bent, smoothing her long, black hair.
“If anyone causes you trouble, come find me,” Bai Qian continued, glancing at Pei Huan for a moment.
Pei Huan saw the moon-white peach blossom branch beside him transform back into moon-white mist and dissipate, but then the mist condensed again into a jade pendant.
"Take this, it might come in handy."
"Hmm." Pei Huan nodded, her eyes somewhat lost in thought.
"Is that person from your family?" Bai Qian asked, glancing at Pei Huan's dazed expression.
"Yes, she's my rival. I heard she joined the Lotus Cult before."
“She does have the scent of those things on her. If your family causes trouble, tell them to come to me.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Huan quickly shook her head.
"That's not true. They were too happy to entertain you, Master Qian, let alone cause trouble." No matter what, the Lai family's affairs were still fresh in their minds.
Bai Qian sat on the edge of the bed, her toes, covered by white socks, slipping into her shoes.
"Should we be there soon?"
"More or less. The blacksmith shop I commissioned is in this area. It should be ready in a little while." Pei Huan nodded quickly upon hearing this.
