As these words fell, the once bustling, tense, and exciting testing ground instantly fell silent. Everyone then realized that this extremely grand stone-testing competition had come to an end just like that.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the crowd turned and began to leave one after another. Some were still savoring the exciting competition, while others were discussing Bai Ying's amazing performance and the internal strife within the Bai family. Before long, only a handful of people remained in the vast testing ground. Bai Ying also planned to leave with the Lingyin Sect members.

She had no intention of letting Bai Di go so easily, but with that giant hand still there, now was clearly not a good time.

However, just as Bai Ying turned around, Bai Ying suddenly cried out, "Bai Ying!"

Bai Ying frowned and stopped.

Bai Ying looked at Bai Ying with a complicated expression.

He didn't know how things had turned out this way.

He had just experienced an illusion, and even within that illusion, they had been so anxiously searching for Bai Ying. Zhou Ying was willing to give her own life to bring Bai Ying back. But now, Zhou Ying wished she could just kill Bai Ying.

This shouldn't be happening...

Bai Ying finally reached Bai Ying from behind, his lips trembling slightly, and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I know in my heart that this is not your fault. Zhou Ying... she was too eager for Xiao Di to win, and this obsession clouded her judgment, which is why she did such a foolish thing."

Her current emotional state stems from the fact that she has suddenly become a mortal, and it's difficult for her to accept. Don't worry, I will definitely talk to her and help her understand her mistakes.

As Bai Ying spoke, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with distress.

“I know you’ve suffered countless hardships while wandering outside all these years. As your parents, we’re sorry that we couldn’t find you sooner. But no matter what, blood is thicker than water, and you will always be our daughter, carrying the blood of me and Zhou Ying.”

You should be our proudest child, not the one we're now so hostile towards.

Bai Ying paused, a hint of expectation appearing in his eyes, "Can we start over? Let's go back to the day you were recognized as family, erase all the unpleasantness, and make it up to you properly, okay?"
