However, while everyone's attention was focused on the confrontation between Bai Ying and Bai Yanfeng, no one noticed that Zhou Ying quietly held a talisman in her hand.

Zhou Ying hesitated, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes. She looked at Bai Ying, then at the talisman in her hand, and finally gritted her teeth and slowly walked towards Bai Ying.

"Xiaoying, don't blame Xiaofeng. He's just too protective of Xiaodi. It's his fault."

As Zhou Ying spoke, she reached out and grabbed Bai Ying's hands without saying a word. Her hands trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing some emotion.

"Xiao Ying, why don't you come back? I thought I would never see you again in this life. You have no idea how much I miss you."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched Bai Ying's face. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, making her look like a loving mother who had been missing her daughter for a long time.

“That’s great, you’re still alive. But why didn’t you come to see your mother? What Xiaofeng said just now was really wrong. Your mother will definitely teach him a lesson and never let him say such hurtful things to you again.” Zhou Ying continued, her voice choked with emotion.

Bai Ying was clearly uncomfortable with Zhou Ying's intimate gesture, and her body stiffened slightly. Looking at Zhou Ying's hand tightly gripping hers, a strange discomfort welled up inside her, and she unconsciously took a step back. Then, she pursed her lips, said nothing, and walked straight towards the testing stone.

As Zhou Ying watched Bai Ying's departing figure, her expression became extremely unnatural, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.

Just as she touched Bai Ying, she had already secretly affixed the talisman to Bai Ying's body.
