Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "I have long been mentally prepared. I will go when the time comes, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to go a little earlier."
For her current self, she was no longer afraid of the Lan Clan. Even if she were to inform everyone in the Lan Clan about her identity now, she wouldn't mind at all.
The only thing she worried about was her parents. She didn't know how well they had recovered in these past few months.
She hoped that when she returned to the Lan Clan, her whole family would go together. However, the torment of the past twenty years had taken a toll on their bodies, and recovering wouldn't be an easy task.
Before leaving the Sun Moon Palace, she had already done everything she could to prepare medicinal pills to help her parents recover.
She believed that during this time, her grandparents would also spare no effort in using rare treasures and medicinal herbs to help her parents recover.
As for how well they had recovered during this time, Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't know yet.
She would assess her parents' condition after returning, and if possible, it was time for them to appear before the Lan Clan's people.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang calm and composed, Di Beichen felt somewhat relieved. She didn't show any signs of worry or pretense of being strong.
Bai Li Hongzhuang had always been strong, and while others might have been crushed by such circumstances, she had managed to come this far under immense pressure.
He believed that even when facing the Lan Clan, Bai Li Hongzhuang would handle it with composure.
Mo Yunjue looked at the strong Bai Li Hongzhuang without saying a word. She didn't possess the typical fragility and helplessness of other women, but her displayed strength made people even more heartbroken.
He used to feel that Bai Li Hongzhuang was burdened with something, but he had never been clear about it until he understood it. The reason for Bai Li Hongzhuang's strength became apparent.
Many times, it was the environment that forced people to grow, and they had no choice.
Wen Ziran and Shangguan Yingying were unaware of the depth behind Di Beichen's question. They simply thought that when Bai Li Hongzhuang went to the Lan Clan, she would face retaliation from Lan Qingyan.
"Hongzhuang, don't worry," Shangguan Yingying smiled with concern on her face, "This time, all of you are going to the Lan Clan as the top three winners of the Battle for Supremacy. Even if Lan Qingyan wants to make things difficult for you, she can't do it too obviously. It wouldn't be good for the Lan Clan's reputation.
I believe that the people of the Lan Clan won't allow Lan Qingyan to act recklessly."
Hearing her words, Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded with a faint smile, "I understand. The Ice and Snow Divine Pool is a great opportunity, and I won't give up because of Lan Qingyan's obstruction."
Shangguan Yingying gave her a thumbs-up, "If you don't go, Lan Qingyan will be truly happy. So, you must go."
"Yingying is right," Wen Ziran chimed in, "With your current strength, combined with the help of the Ice and Snow Divine Pool, you will pose a threat to Lan Qingyan's position in the future. That's why Lan Qingyan is behaving like this."
Di Beichen and the others exchanged smiles. They were willing to do anything that made their enemies uncomfortable.
"By the way, Hongzhuang, what happened to you in front of the Chaos Stele? Why were you in such a peculiar state?" Shangguan Yingying's face was filled with curiosity. She had been curious when Bai Li Hongzhuang fell into that state earlier, and seeing her astonishing performance afterward made her even more curious.
What kind of state must she have entered to comprehend so much in just one and a half months, with her cultivation advancing at a speed far surpassing others?
