"You came early, Yun Jue," said Baili Hongzhuang with a graceful smile, resembling a delicate lotus. They had arrived a few days early to avoid missing the occasion, but it turned out that Mo Yunjue had arrived even earlier than them.
"I only came two days early," Mo Yunjue chuckled and raised his thumb. "I've heard about the commotion you caused this time. It's quite impressive."
Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen exchanged a glance, understanding exactly what Mo Yunjue was referring to.
"I'm just an accompanying guest. It's all thanks to Hongzhuang," Di Beichen raised an eyebrow. In truth, his contributions in this matter were minimal. Baili Hongzhuang had orchestrated everything.
A faint smile curved Mo Yunjue's sharp and determined face. "Di Beichen, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll have to play second fiddle to Hongzhuang."
They had witnessed Baili Hongzhuang's progress over the years. Even at their level, they couldn't help but be impressed by her growth. If it weren't for her damaged dantian that prevented her from cultivating for so long, Baili Hongzhuang would likely be the most outstanding young talent in the Holy Xuan Continent.
Di Beichen shrugged nonchalantly, displaying an indifferent attitude. "From now on, I'll rely on my wife to look after me."
"Snort." Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but let out a light laugh. It was rare to see Di Beichen in such a manner.
Mo Yunjue seemed surprised by Di Beichen's reaction at first, but then he smiled helplessly. After all, he didn't have a wife to rely on.
"The Yue family is here in Lan Yang City, very close to the Lan family. Yue Siqing has been staying at the Lan family to detoxify Lan Qingyan. Once your true identity is exposed, I'm afraid the Yue family won't let you off easily. Are you prepared?" Mo Yunjue's face turned solemn and inscrutable. During this period, he had thoroughly researched the situation.
"If we dare to venture into the dragon's den, let alone the Yue family, even the Lan family won't be able to escape our wrath," Di Beichen's expression was relaxed and carefree, devoid of any nervousness one might expect before a major enemy. Instead, he exuded a poetic and leisurely aura, as if he were merely strolling through the mountains and rivers.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, saying nothing. In the past, it would have been extremely difficult for her to confront the entire Lan and Yue families on her own. However, now she was no longer the helpless girl who had to rely solely on her own strength. Her background was enough to contend with them.
"It seems like you're full of confidence," Mo Yunjue nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't know the exact details of Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen's plans, as long as they were prepared, it should be fine.
"After all the preparations we've made, now that we've finally arrived at the Lan family, we are naturally mentally prepared," Baili Hongzhuang said with sincere gratitude. Even during this time, Mo Yunjue had been helping her deal with the investigation from the Yue family.
"I didn't help for nothing. I expect to be rewarded," Mo Yunjue's brow revealed a hint of casualness, and his ink-black eyes carried a trace of reluctance and complexity.
At this point, he had to admit that he had lost to Di Beichen in this relationship. Perhaps he hadn't fought desperately for it, but he had always believed that Baili Hongzhuang's smile was more precious than anything else.
