Summer Zhiqing and the others watched Bai Li Hongzhuang with worried expressions. It was evident that Han Xiling was not someone to be trifled with.
If they didn't already have some backup plan, they believed Han Xiling would never act this way.
However, in the face of Han Xiling's provocation, Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't even spare a glance. She directly spoke to the group, "Let's go inside!"
With those words, Bai Li Hongzhuang turned around as if she hadn't noticed the presence of Han Xiling and the other person.
Seeing this, Summer Zhiqing and the others were momentarily taken aback. However, they naturally followed Bai Li Hongzhuang's arrangement and immediately turned around to walk towards the palace.
Black Mu and the others, being subordinate to the Young Master who was absent, followed Lady's command without exception.
As for the others, regardless of who they were, they wouldn't pay any attention.
Witnessing Bai Li Hongzhuang completely ignoring their existence, Han Xiling's face immediately darkened, and her gaze became resentful and disgusted.
"Stop!" Han Xiling angrily shouted.
However, in the face of Han Xiling's intimidating and threatening words, Bai Li Hongzhuang seemed as if she hadn't heard anything, not even pausing her footsteps.
Seeing this, Han Xiling couldn't hold back anymore. She swiftly moved and stood directly in front of Bai Li Hongzhuang. Her exquisite and cold countenance was filled with anger. "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"I heard, so what? And if I didn't hear, so what?" Bai Li Hongzhuang retorted.
"I said, nobody can enter the Young Master's palace until he returns!" Han Xiling's voice was hoarse, and her words were resolute.
Bai Li Hongzhuang crossed her arms and unabashedly examined Han Xiling with her gaze. The curve of her beautiful pink lips showed mockery, and her words were laced with disdain and ridicule.
"I have to say, aren't you bored of performing a one-woman show for so long?"
She couldn't understand. Everything discussed in the council hall had already been made clear, yet Han Xiling remained obstinate.
"What do you mean?" Han Xiling's eyes grew dark and cold. Bai Li Hongzhuang's confident demeanor seemed very annoying to her.
"I thought someone as aloof and proud as you would have a strong sense of self-esteem. After such a straightforward and decisive rejection, you should know how to back off.
But now it seems that I overestimated your self-esteem."
Bai Li Hongzhuang's jet-black eyes shimmered with icy light, and she spoke without any reservation.
Han Xiling constantly caused trouble for her, and it seemed that this woman couldn't understand what she was saying unless it was explicit.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's words were like sharp blades, fiercely piercing Han Xiling's heart. With just a single listen, everyone understood the central message Bai Li Hongzhuang intended to convey.
Han Xiling had no shame!
Any woman with a shred of decency would not behave like this after being rejected. Yet Han Xiling persistently sought trouble.
Han Xiling felt as if she had been slapped hard in front of everyone, her face turning incredibly unsightly. The flames of anger burned in her eyes, and she wished she could kill Bai Li Hongzhuang on the spot!
However, before Bai Li Hongzhuang could speak, her voice resounded once again.
"I will bring them inside, and I will take responsibility for whatever consequences arise."
Bai Li Hongzhuang tilted her chin, exuding a confident radiance from her mesmerizing face.
