His mind was out of control.

This is not the state he should be in, nor is it the fluctuation he should have.

He had always been playful and amused with Bai Suning, admiring and joking. When did his heart flutter...

He didn't understand what he had done, nor did he understand the strange feeling he had when Bai Suning came close to him just now.

How could he, Xie Zun, a dignified Lord, be tempted?

Bai Suning didn't know about his entanglement, and didn't know his little thoughts. After seeing the person slip away from her, she thought that she had upset her in some way, so she curled her lips and went to find Bai Chengzhu without caring.

She needed to understand the Chen family's affairs clearly, otherwise those people would come to cause trouble again after she left.

In the city lord's study.

City Lord Bai was busy with his own affairs. When he saw Bai Suning coming, his eyes slightly avoided her and asked her in a serious tone, "What are you doing here?"

"What's going on with the Chen family?" Bai Suning went straight to the point without hesitation.

City Lord Bai paused, as if he had not expected her to be so direct.

After pondering for a moment, he told her the whole story in front of her worried eyes: "Not long after you left, the Chen family seemed to have received instructions from the people in the capital and began to cause chaos in the city again and again. Later, this kind of thing happened more and more, and the people came to me to intervene and seek justice.

The Chen family is deliberately causing trouble, and it's useless even if I step in to take charge.

Then, as you see now, they saw that the situation was under their control, and you were..."

Having said that, City Lord Bai hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly for a moment.

Bai Suning was no fool. She knew what her father meant. "Plus, I have a bad reputation in Yuxiao City. Those people think that it's a disgrace for the City Lord's Mansion that you have a daughter like me, so they started supporting the Chen family."

"Almost." City Lord Bai nodded.

"What do you think?" Bai Suning looked at him and asked directly.

"The position of City Lord cannot be given to the Chen family." City Lord Bai spoke forcefully, his narrow eyes filled with an unprecedented determination. "The Chen family doesn't want to manage Yuxiao City to make it better. If I'm not mistaken, they want the position of City Lord to cover up something."

"What do you mean?" Bai Suning was a little confused.

Isn't this about seizing the city lord position? Why does it sound like a conspiracy now?

City Lord Bai sighed, his expression becoming more serious. "When the Chen family was secretly causing trouble a few times before, I went to the Chen family to discuss things with their head of the family. But when I went there, I found that something was amiss with the Chen family."

"What's wrong?" Bai Suning asked directly.

"Their mansion gives people a gloomy and cold feeling. It doesn't seem like a place full of living people." City Lord Bai frowned and said, his words becoming more serious. "I wanted to walk around their mansion, but the head of the Chen family wouldn't let me leave their reception room."

Bai Suning fell into deep thought, frowning and asking seriously, "Could it be that you're wrong?"

"Impossible." City Lord Bai said firmly, looking at her with a serious look, his eyes filled with thoughts of the past. "It feels too strange there. If you don't believe me, I can go and check it out tomorrow by having you apologize to Young Master Chen."

"No need, I'll go later." Bai Suning had already made up her mind.

"No!" City Lord Bai stopped him sternly.

This made Bai Suning a little confused.

Bai Suning looked a little bewildered: "What's wrong?"

"The Chen family is a little different now than it was before. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid something might happen." City Lord Bai felt heavy in his heart, his brows furrowed in a frown that never relaxed. "I'll go with you tomorrow."

If he didn't really think there was something wrong with the Chen family, he wouldn't have repeatedly driven people away instead of reasoning with them.

Some things can only be known by exploring.

Bai Suning did not resist this time. She knew very well that her father was not the type to cause trouble for no reason. There must be something wrong with the Chen family.

In the blink of an eye.

The next day has arrived.

Bai Suning originally wanted to ask Jun Yunyan if he was going, but she couldn't find him after looking around. Thinking that his cultivation had recovered now, she was not too worried and went to Chen's house with her father.

Ximie and Nanjue in secret saw them leave and went to the edge of the cliff to find Jun Yunyan.

When they arrived, Jun Yunyan was still sitting there, lost in thought.

"Master." The two spoke in unison.

"Didn't I tell you to protect Bai Suning?" Jun Yunyan's voice was cold as it came out of his throat. "What are you doing here?"

"Miss Bai and City Lord Bai went to the Chen family." Ximie explained the problem honestly, knowing that now was not the best time to ask questions. "From what they discussed, it seems that they think there is something wrong with the Chen family."

Jun Yunyan didn't move, looking ahead with his narrow and deep gaze.

Seeing him like this, Ximie and Nanjue felt a little strange.

It really is...

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"What's wrong with you?"

The two asked deliberately.

Jun Yunyan ignored him completely, immersed in his own world, with Bai Suning's figure all over his mind.

Nan Jue and Ximie exchanged a glance, coughed lightly, and then got down to business: "Master, are you attracted to Miss Bai and can't get over it?"

"boom!"

"Bang!"

Jun Yunyan stretched out his hand and knocked the two men away.

The two men's bodies fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Ximie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, covered his aching chest, stood up, and knelt on one knee to plead guilty: "Master, please punish me."

Nan Jue also did the same: "Master, please punish me."

Jun Yunyan didn't have those feelings at the moment. He was angry just now only because these two people had seen through his thoughts.

The master's intention of not being kicked was told to them from the first day they joined.

"What are they doing at the Chen family?" Jun Yunyan withdrew his thoughts, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared at the two people kneeling on the ground.

"I'm not sure. I think they're investigating the Chen family." Ximie confessed honestly, not daring to act any more. "We went to the Chen family before coming here. The atmosphere there was indeed a bit strange. They even have a master who is no less than a Heavenly Level in their mansion."

"Heavenly level?" Jun Yunyan frowned slightly, obviously confused about the realm.

"The level division here is Heaven level. Miss Bai is now at Emperor level. After Emperor level, there are Saint level, Yellow level, Mysterious level, Earth level, Heaven level, Saint realm and Mysterious realm." Ximie looked at him cautiously and began to explain.

Jun Yunyan frowned, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

I don’t know if this irritation is due to what happened before or because of this complicated level division.
