"That's why I've come to see you all. Think about it, have you really worked so hard to build such a large business? Can you just give it up so easily?"

"As for the people behind that girl, they'll find a way to help us resolve this."

Silence fell instantly; no one answered the bald old man's question.

But in a sense, no one answering is already an answer.

"How do we do it?" one of them suddenly asked.

The bald old man smiled upon hearing this.

"At that time, everyone should follow my arrangements. The clouds will still be clouds, the wind will still be wind, and Changcheng Mansion will still be Changcheng Mansion," he said meaningfully.

"Master." Pei Huan held a crystal-clear, peeled grape in his slender fingers and handed it to Bai Qian. Bai Qian, who was looking down at the water mirror, opened her lips.

Pei Huan fed a grape to Bai Qian and watched her swallow it with her cheeks puffed out before peeling off another grape.

Bai Qian was gazing intently at the water mirror in front of her, or rather, at the scene reflected in it.

The water mirror was passed on by Lingxi, who is not currently in Changcheng Prefecture; she is out gathering intelligence on the Liansheng Sect's army.

The information transmitted through the water mirror was about the situation of the Lotus Life Sect's army.

If we were to describe the first impression of the Lotus Life Sect's army...

They were dressed in tattered clothes, with no neatness in sight. If it weren't for the blood-red lines on their skin that looked like they had been painted on, no one would believe they were soldiers.

They were more like refugees fleeing famine.

Bai Qian opened her mouth, took another grape, and touched her lips and fingers together twice. She didn't seem to feel anything, but Pei Huan...

My heart was beating way too fast; I was getting excited.

He blinked, looking at his fingers, suppressing a strange thought that was swirling in his mind.

"That's about it." Lingxi's figure reappeared in the water mirror, her expression serious.

"This is the vanguard. Although a single Lotus Man doesn't pose much of a threat, there are just too many of them."

"Most importantly, when they come together, they can even transform into an even more terrifying monster."

"If the timing is correct, this advance team should arrive at Changcheng Prefecture before evening."

"I'll be back in a bit, then we can discuss a plan." After saying this, the water mirror closed and disappeared in front of her.

Bai Qian didn't speak upon hearing this, but instead frowned as if she was pondering something.

Seeing this, Pei Huan peeled a lychee and handed it over.

Looking at Bai Qian's seemingly serious face, she seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, speaking of which, you asked me to help you collect martial arts techniques before, and I did manage to make some progress."

"Yes, this is the one." It's something I carry with me all the time.

Bai Qian, who was pondering how many glasses of milk to drink with dinner, looked up at the yellow book that Pei Huan handed her.

He took the book, flipped through it a couple of times, and then solemnly handed it to Pei Huan.

"Read it once."

“Hmm.” Pei Huan, without any suspicion, took the book and began reading it to Bai Qian without hesitation.

[Having learned [Empty Hand] (A)]

Bai Qian glanced at the information on the panel and blinked.

甲?

Pei Huan glanced at Bai Qian, who was still reading to her, but he was puzzled.

However, she could also tell that this martial art was quite good, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically sought it out.

Looking at Bai Qian's slightly dazed face, Pei Huan didn't feel bored at all, so he stayed with Bai Qian, reading the contents of the book while looking at her.

Every now and then, he would pick up a grape or lychee and feed it to Bai Qian.

For Pei Huan, this moment was her dream.

I'm so happy I feel like I'm going to die.

Bai Qian rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the panel. She pondered for a moment, looking at the [Empty Hand] skill she had just learned, and considered whether to directly deduce it.

There was a light knock on the door twice.

"Miss, someone is looking for you outside." The maid's soft and careful voice came from outside the room, causing Pei Huan to pause in her work of turning the pages of her book.

Pei Huan got up and opened the door. She chatted with the maid for a few words, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she listened to the maid's words.

"Let them in," Pei Huan said after a moment's thought.

After returning to the house, seeing Bai Qian still in a daze, he didn't think of hiding anything from her.

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

Find me?

Bai Qian tilted her head, also somewhat puzzled.

She didn't know many people in Changcheng Mansion.

Although she was a little confused, she nodded.

A young girl dressed in a light blue robe walked in from outside. As soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly came to Bai Qian and looked at her with great anticipation.

"My benefactor!" she exclaimed happily.

Bai Qian blinked as she looked at Xu Su in front of her.

Not impressed.

"You saved me on that mountain with the fox demons."

Bai Qian didn't answer, but Pei Huan beside her had already narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at Xu Su.

This person came in and started spouting nonsense. What kind of benefactor is this? He doesn't seem like a good person at all.

A sense of unease rose in his heart as he considered how to interrupt Xu Su.

"Alright, let's talk about this later." A slightly aged voice abruptly interrupted Xu Su, and then a faint shadow quietly emerged from beside the girl, coalescing into the figure of an old woman.

After the old woman appeared, she looked at Bai Qian solemnly.

“Normally, I wouldn’t meet you like this, but the situation is urgent now. If I didn’t do this, I probably wouldn’t trust you, so I decided to come directly to you.”

Bai Qian looked at the old man, gazing at the illusory figure that resembled a reflection in water, without saying a word.

"The Lotus Birth Sect has already opened up the world passage," the old man said with a serious face.

"That means that Lotus Mother, including the Eight Manifestations Blood Maidens behind her, can manipulate Changhe County at will, and they can descend incarnations at any time."

“Those strangely composed armies are not even the main point.”

"The key point is that this place is completely beyond saving."

Bai Qian tilted her head upon hearing this.

Seeing the old man's serious expression, he simply nodded.

"Oh, what then?"
