Little Black saw little white make his move so quickly, and a hint of helplessness surged in his eyes. "I haven't even had a chance to make a move yet."
Little White stuck out his tongue. "I forgot."
...
The next day, a piece of shocking news swept through the imperial city.
The General's Lady was inexplicably killed and found dead in her house late at night, yet no one in the entire General's Residence discovered any suspicious traces!
This was no small matter. The General's Lady held a prestigious position, and now she was murdered within the General's Residence, tarnishing the reputation of the entire residence!
Baili Zhentao didn't expect that just a few days after Baili Yuyan's funeral, Su Wanjing also died, and her death was inexplicable. He couldn't even fathom who the culprit might be!
Baili Zhentao didn't know, but Baili Haoxuan was well aware.
His mother clearly told him that she had sent someone to assassinate Baili Hongzhuang. Now that Baili Hongzhuang was still alive, but his mother was dead, who else could it be besides Baili Hongzhuang?
However, he couldn't reveal this information. Otherwise, it would be a major scandal for the General's Residence.
His father had already told them not to lay a hand on Baili Hongzhuang anymore. Even if he spoke up now, his father probably wouldn't trouble Baili Hongzhuang.
His hands clenched tightly under his sleeves, and resentment filled Baili Haoxuan's eyes. If it weren't for Baili Hongzhuang, how could his family have ended up like this!
Baili Zhentao seemed to have aged significantly overnight. The General's Residence was suffering one blow after another, far beyond what he could bear.
He couldn't understand why he lost his daughter and his wife in such a short time, leaving only him and Baili Haoxuan.
Dai Tianxiong had originally wanted to confront Baili Zhentao, but after learning about Su Wanjing's death, he didn't know what to say anymore.
"The assessment at Canglan Academy is approaching. We can only make a move against Baili Hongzhuang in these few days; otherwise, we won't have a chance," Dai Tianxiong said in a deep voice.
This incident happened too suddenly. He needed some time to find a suitable assassin to kill Baili Hongzhuang, but hasty preparations might lead to flaws.
At this moment, Liu Jingkun spoke up, "General, in my opinion, it's better to wait until Baili Hongzhuang goes to Canglan Academy before taking action!"
"With Yunyang present, we can definitely avenge Zhiman!" Dai Tianxiong nodded slightly. Many practitioners faced the risk of their lives during their experiences at Canglan Academy. In this situation, no one could find fault with killing Baili Hongzhuang!
Dai Yinyin entered Canglan Academy a year earlier than Dai Zhiman and had already gained some fame there.
He was Dai Tianxiong's pride and the hope of the Dai family!
"That's right. Brother Dai is powerful. He can easily kill Baili Hongzhuang!" Liu Jingkun agreed.
Dai Tianxiong beckoned, and a servant immediately approached. "Immediately spread the news about Zhiman being killed by Baili Hongzhuang to Yunyang. He must seek revenge for Zhiman!"
"Yes!"
Three days later, Baili Hongzhuang packed her belongings and left the Wang Residence.
Canglan Academy was quite a distance away, and it would take a long time just to travel there. Since she had promised two mentors, she couldn't be late.
Shao Zifan, Xuan Yuanhuan, and Jiang Hanyue also headed to Canglan Academy. They had invited her a couple of days ago, but she declined.
Her relationship with Xuan Yuanhuan was already strained, and traveling together would only lead to trouble. It was better for her to journey alone and be more carefree!
Shao Zifan understood Baili Hongzhuang's situation and agreed to meet at Canglan Academy.
