"Master, it seems like that guy has taken a liking to you," Little Black's eyes flickered with excitement, appearing eager for chaos.
"These types of boring people are the most common in this world," Baili Hongzhuang responded indifferently. She had no intention of paying any attention to Hu Junqing, believing that he would lose interest in bothering her once he realized she wasn't interested.
"Our young master is talking to you, and yet you dare to ignore him?" The burly man next to Hu Junqing wore a displeased expression. With their young master's prominent background, it was unheard of for anyone to disregard him.
Hu Junqing looked meaningfully at Baili Hongzhuang. He hadn't stopped his guards from speaking; instead, he felt somewhat triumphant.
However, Baili Hongzhuang's expression turned cold instantly. She always found guards who abused their authority and acted arrogant extremely distasteful.
"Get lost as far as you can," her voice was icy and devoid of any warmth. Baili Hongzhuang didn't even spare a glance at Hu Junqing and the others, displaying an attitude of utter contempt.
Upon witnessing Baili Hongzhuang's attitude, both the guard and Hu Junqing's expressions turned ugly. Until now, no one had dared to tell them to get lost!
"You better know your place!" the guard warned.
Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her brows slightly. She was focusing on studying the toxicity of the miasma, and these sudden interruptions were truly bothersome!
Just as Baili Hongzhuang shifted her gaze, preparing to deal with the trouble at hand, a figure with a faint golden aura appeared by her side, standing in front of Hu Junqing.
"I told you to get lost. Didn't you hear?" Emperor Beichen's black eyes glinted with a cold and domineering light, his tone authoritative and resolute, leaving no room for refusal.
Hu Junqing looked at Emperor Beichen, intending to make a threat, but as soon as he met Emperor Beichen's gaze, he found himself unable to utter a single word.
In those deep black eyes filled with coldness and killing intent, just a single glance made him sense a dangerous aura.
Though it was an inconceivable thought, it undeniably existed.
However, before Hu Junqing could stop his guards, the words escaped their mouths.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to our young master like this? I think you're looking for death!"
Emperor Beichen's lips curled into a wicked smile, while his gaze turned even colder. The killing intent almost solidified, giving off a deadly chill.
After witnessing this scene, the surrounding cultivators erupted into exclamations. Everyone looked at the unfolding drama, fascinated by the rare spectacle.
"These guards are really strong. This newcomer is probably in for trouble."
"Yes, Hu Junqing's guards are quite formidable. I heard that the Hu family is very interested in this miasma forest, and they have a large group of cultivators rushing here."
"Alas, this man has managed to provoke Hu Junqing as soon as he arrived. He's in for a rough time. I'm afraid he's going to get beaten up."
The guard looked smugly at Emperor Beichen. As a guard of the Hu family, he was used to bullying others. Where would anyone dare to speak harshly to him?
"I think you're looking for death too," Emperor Beichen's smile froze, his gaze dangerous and frigid.
In the next moment, the surrounding cultivators erupted into gasps of astonishment. Everyone looked at the scene before them, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
