Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

She knew Zong Qianqun and also knew Yuchi; these were the big figures this time, as her parents had already told her. She never expected to meet them here. It seems her father truly respects him if he can even enter the inner courtyard. You must understand, although Wanjian Manor has many guests now, ordinary people are not allowed in the inner courtyard; they all stay in the outer courtyard.

”Hello, you go ahead and take care of what you need to, just pretend we aren’t here,” Yuchi answered with a smile.

”Yes, we are just passing by by chance, little sister. You can pretend we’re not here. If you have anything to do, just go on with it,” Zong Qianqun echoed Yuchi’s words, following his lead.

”...”

What a beautiful young woman, what a gentle uncle… As for pretending you’re not here, you are present! Bai Sisi was at a loss whether to cry or laugh, but given the current situation, she had no chance to speak thoroughly about it. She could only nod and say, ”You two esteemed guests just stay here for a moment; I need to deal with An Xiaoning’s matters first. Sorry, Bai Sisi must excuse herself for a while.”

Bai Sisi was still full of propriety, and both Yuchi and Zong Qianqun nodded, sending her off with their gazes as Bai Sisi entered the courtyard.

Observing keenly, enjoying the story but not interfering—no big issue as long as they don’t speak up.

Bai Sisi was very anxious. If it were just Wanjian Manor’s own issue, it could be handled slowly, but now with Yuchi and Zong Qianqun here, she absolutely couldn’t let others laugh at them. Rushing into the courtyard, she hurriedly said to Bai Chi:

”Brother, let’s just leave it at that. An Xiaoning has already spoken in this manner; our Wanjian Manor shouldn’t be aggressively petty about being in the right, right? Especially with guests present.”

Her eyes gestured to the two standing at the courtyard door, and both couldn’t help but nod, just short of holding a huge watermelon in their hands. Truly, they are well-matched as a couple; their subtle expressions now were almost identical.

”Are guests here?”

Bai Chi looked in confusion towards the courtyard entrance and finally saw Yuchi and Zong Qianqun. His mind went blank: ”When did they arrive?!”

Bai Chi also knew Yuchi and Zong Qianqun. When these two eminent figures come, they indeed carry formidable strength.

Bai Sisi: ”...”

Goodness! They’ve been here all along, haven’t you noticed? Despite your large build, are your eyes really on your head? Others are staring at you like this! If I hadn’t come, others would truly think our Wanjian Manor bullies people. How would they view us then? They would surely consider us nothing more than a third-rate faction!

Bai Chi nodded woodenly.

On one hand, An Xiaoning was too fierce, as if he couldn’t see through it. Has she always been this brave?

Then Bai Chi glanced at Yuchi and Zong Qianqun again and also looked at An Xiaoning, who was gritting her teeth in pain. His heart softened a bit, and he said to An Xiaoning, ”Alright, alright, there’s no need for this. Saying such things, others might think Wanjian Manor bullies others. Also, you injured yourself! It has nothing to do with me; don’t try to falsely accuse me!”

An Xiaoning didn’t know what was happening now; she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, ”Brother Bai, you are invincible; how dare I have any thought of falsely accusing you?”

At this, Bai Chi was relieved; his mountain-like body finally left the courtyard. As he departed, he quickly bowed to Zong Qianqun and nodded repeatedly in apology: ”Please forgive us, esteemed guests, for Wanjian Manor sometimes has these interesting little matters.”

He was somewhat guilty as he spoke, but a sturdy man like him suddenly becoming as well-behaved as a six or seven-year-old child looked rather cute.

Yuchi nodded earnestly and said, ”It’s fine; there’s no need for worry on your part. We, as a couple, are merely passing by by chance. If you have matters to attend to, go ahead and do so. Just think of us as not being here.”

Zong Qianqun nodded even more. Her beautiful eyes gave Yuchi a sidelong glance, echoing his words, ”We, as a couple, are just passing by by chance. We’ll stand here and watch without entering the courtyard. Rest assured.”

I’m just here for a look, I won’t enter.

Bai Chi felt like these two had something between the lines, but he had no evidence. He enviously glanced at Yuchi, then quickly left the area. His sister, Bai Sisi, was handling things here; she should have no problem dealing with it, right?

Inside the courtyard.

An Xiaoning watched Bai Chi leave, breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, ”Luckily, I was clever earlier and came up with this proactive strategy. This was just a psychological game with Bai Chi. They say words are not evidence; admitting fault requires a certain attitude. Now, after using some minor tactics, the situation finally improved, and this matter has passed.”

Then An Xiaoning, under the shocked eyes of Bai Sisi, suddenly yanked out the blood-stained chopsticks. The bloody chopsticks clattered on the ground a few times. Then they heard An Xiaoning say, ”Sisi, I’m really sorry for this time. Next time I dare to…”
