Upon hearing the response at the door, Man Bai's face instantly grew dark. After a long while, she finally responded, "Got it. You can go back now." "Miss Man, the Family Head asked me to tell you that previously you mentioned wanting to go out and explore? You can go now." After relaying this message, no more sound came from the door. Inside the room, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Xia Liu gently sipped his tea, quietly waiting. He roughly guessed the entirety of the situation. Man Bai was the daughter of the Bai Family. And just now, that girl and Song Xue might be a conspiracy set up by the Song Family. The aim was to provoke Man Bai into acting, giving them a direct reason to target the Bai Family. Thus, once Man Bai returns to her clan, the Song Family would certainly use this as leverage. If the Bai Family insists on protecting Man Bai, the Song Family is bound to muster full force for an attack. And naturally, Man Bai's father wouldn't want to see the Song Family capture Man Bai. So, the best way now is to let her leave. Then later, by claiming they couldn't find the person involved, let the matter drag on for a while. It must be said, Man Bai's father was really concerned about her. "Brother Liu, aren't you curious as to why that person called me Miss Man just now?" After a long silence, Man Bai softly spoke up. "If my guess is correct, you should be the daughter of the Bai Family." "Your insight is truly beyond the ordinary. Indeed, I am the daughter of the Bai Family, my real name is Bai Man. However, don't misunderstand, I do possess genuine female attributes, they are just disguised by my art spell." Afraid Xia Liu would think she typically appeared , Bai Man made a final explanation. "The world of cultivators is quite fascinating, that much I understand very well." Xia Liu smiled appreciatively. "This time I was careless, I didn't expect to be schemed by the Song Family." Bai Man seemed somewhat helpless. She should have understood sooner, her actions were still somewhat naive. Even dressed as a man, high-rank cultivators with divine sense could still see through her true identity. Previously in Xuan City, she had done many good deeds. All of these were likely seen by the Song Family. "It's not your fault; you can only blame that there are too many schemers out there."

From the voice earlier, it seemed she hadn't left Xuan City before. At such an age, lacking experience, how could she possibly defend against the designs of those schemers? "What are you planning to do next, leave Xuan City as the Family Head suggested?" "Leaving is impossible; even if I die, I won't let the Song Family trouble my father." Bai Man's attitude was very resolute. She wouldn't leave Xuan City. Moreover, considering this matter, she was justified, so why fear facing it? Xia Liu nodded; if Bai Man wanted to flee, it would indeed be awkward. Such a loyal and righteous girl is rare to find. Having met by fate, Xia Liu decided to lend a helping hand. "Brother Liu, you enjoy the view of Xuan City here; I'll go back to handle a bit." "Miss Man, although we haven't known each other long, your character is excellent. I'm willing to be a witness and confront the Song Family." "No! Even if we succeed in explaining, the Song Family definitely won't spare you. I can't implicate you." Bai Man's expression changed, and she refused immediately. "I'm afraid I've already drawn the attention of the Song Family's experts. Going with you back to the Bai Family might offer temporary protection." Xia Liu responded with a bitter smile. Bai Man found herself unable to explain. If the girl she saved just now was indeed a setup, then Xia Liu was also being watched by the Song Family. Perhaps as he said, bringing him back would help get through the crisis. She was the one who acted, so once matters were brought to light, Xia Liu wouldn't remain a target of the Song Family. Thus, she'd take him back. "Okay, come with me then." With that, Bai Man took the lead to stand up. As soon as she stepped out of the teahouse, Bai Man sensed at least three divine senses approaching her. Indeed, she was right not to think of fleeing. Because being locked on by these senses, any change in walking direction would be intercepted by these cultivators. The Song Family was truly determined to capture her this time! Xia Liu remained silent. He knew there was something happening around, yet showed no sign of it. He just wanted to see what exactly the Song Family intended to do. As Bai Man and Xia Liu walked along the main avenue of Xuan City, it symbolized an impending upheaval in Xuan City. In the shadows, not only were there people from the Song Family watching. There were also people from the Yan Family. However, the Yan Family cultivators were very discreet, making no moves, quietly observing, waiting for an opportunity. To the east of Xuan City, where the Bai Family estate was located. Two Mysterious Beasts sat on either side of the gate, their ferocious faces and long tusks warding off all spirits! At this moment, in front of the Bai Family estate, a group coldly stood. Their cultivation levels were all above the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. Passing by these people, there was no word of respect. Xia Liu immediately understood that these were surely Song Family cultivators! Upon entering the main gate, two blade-bearing guards immediately stepped forward, "Young Miss!" "What's the situation? Is Song Jiang pressuring my father?" Song Jiang, no doubt, was the Grand Elder of the Song Family, at the Peak of the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation. "The Family Head and the others are all waiting for you in the Training Ground." Taking a deep look at the Song Family cultivators at the door, Bai Man headed toward the Training Ground. Regarding Xia Liu, who was an unfamiliar face, the two Bai Family guards said nothing. Seeing this, Xia Liu roughly guessed, today, the situation was likely to escalate significantly! On the Bai Family's Training Ground, cultivators from both families were confronting each other. At the center, on two Taishi Chairs, two highly cultivated cultivators sat in silent observation. One, a middle-aged figure, though his hair was all white, wrinkles evident on his forehead, his face still carried a youthful appearance. But in reality, his age was perhaps over a hundred years. The other appeared elderly but exuded a faintly vigorous aura, making none dare to underestimate him. And he was indeed the Grand Elder of the Song Family, Song Jiang! Behind him stood two young people, Song Xue and a girl with her head lowered. Upon closer inspection, one would realize, this girl was exactly the one bullied by Song Xue in the corner earlier! Even though only Song Jiang and a few guards appeared from the Song Family. There were, however, many powerful auras hidden in the shadows. This symbolized that if discussions failed, there would surely be a clash of arms! "The Young Miss is back!" With the sound of the guard spreading across the Training Ground, both Song Jiang and Bai Yuan's eyes changed. Stepping onto the Training Ground, Bai Man held her head high, showing no fear of the situation she would face next. "Grand Elder! It's him! He's the one who attacked me earlier and killed my three guards!" Seeing Bai Man, Song Xue cried out in panic. "Oh? Song Xue, are you certain you haven't mistaken the person?" Suppressing his emotions, Song Jiang asked calmly. "I will never forget! If it hadn't been for a brave soul passing by, I might have died under his hand!"
