At this moment, the voices mocking Bai Ying rose and fell like a surging tide, one after another.
The crowd whispered among themselves, some with disdainful sneers, others with expressions of disbelief, their eyes occasionally glancing at Bai Ying with contempt and skepticism.
Bai Di stood to the side, a smug gleam in her eyes. She glanced at the Bai couple not far away, the ones she had hastily summoned earlier. Upon seeing them, a sly, triumphant smile crept onto Bai Di's lips. She thought to herself, how could she not let her "parents" witness such a spectacular scene? She wanted them to know exactly what kind of person Bai Ying was. Therefore, the moment Hua Mujian began mocking Bai Ying, she had impatiently informed the Bai couple.
As expected, when the Bai couple arrived and saw the scene before them, their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
Bai Ying's brows furrowed tightly, his face filled with anger and disappointment. He strode up to Bai Ying, his eyes wide with fury, and said with heartbreaking pain:
"Bai Ying, you actually used such a despicable method to win against Xiao Feng! Do you understand how shameless it is to cheat in a competition? Do you still naively think that winning against Xiao Feng by such means and making everyone mistakenly believe that you are exceptionally strong is something to be proud of? When you step onto the real battlefield and encounter those truly strong people, you will realize how foolish and childish your actions are!"
As he spoke, Bai Ying turned around, bowed deeply to everyone present, and said with a face full of apology, "Everyone, as you all know, this Bai Ying is my daughter. It's just that she hasn't been by our side for many years, and we haven't been able to raise and educate her properly, which has led her to develop this vain and opportunistic personality. I'm truly sorry to everyone for making us a laughingstock!" As Bai Ying spoke, he shook his head and sighed, looking as if he was extremely ashamed to have such a daughter.
As he spoke, he pointed at Bai Yanfeng and ordered Bai Ying, "Hurry up and apologize to Xiaofeng! And promise that you will never use such despicable methods again!"
Seeing this, Hua Mujian's lips curled into a smug sneer. He stepped forward and said loudly, "Uncle Bai, you don't know this, but I've heard that Bai Ying is determined to replace Xiao Di and is trying to marry me. Today I'll make it clear right here and now: even if I, Hua Mujian, never marry, I will never look at Bai Ying, much less marry her!"
Hua Mujian's words were like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the crowd. Everyone present stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief. They whispered amongst themselves, utterly astonished that Bai Ying, upon her return, would immediately set her sights on stealing Bai Di's marriage.
"Senior Brother Hua and Bai Di are childhood sweethearts. How can Bai Ying interfere with their relationship after so many years? Even if she is Senior Bai Ying's biological daughter, she can't act so recklessly!"
"Yes, marriage is a matter of mutual affection, not something that Bai Ying can decide on her own. Judging from Senior Brother Hua's attitude, he clearly despises her."
Hua Mujian listened to the crowd's discussion, feeling extremely smug. He looked at Bai Ying provocatively, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain, as if to say, "Look, everyone is on my side, what can you do?"
Bai Ying's eyes were full of disgust: "I really don't understand why some people are so arrogant, thinking they are some rare treasure and that I would even look at them. They don't even know their own worth! A piece of trash really thinks he's a treasure."
Her voice was clear yet cold, each word like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Hua Mujian.
Hua Mujian was completely taken aback by Bai Ying's daring retaliation. His face instantly turned ashen, and his smug smile vanished, replaced by anger and shock. He took a step forward and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again!" His fists clenched, and his body trembled slightly, clearly enraged by Bai Ying's words.
Bai Ying roared at Bai Ying, "What nonsense are you spouting again? Didn't I tell you to apologize? Do you even respect me as your father?" His voice was hoarse with anger, and the veins on his neck bulged.
However, before Bai Ying could finish speaking, Bai Ying interrupted him mercilessly: "Don't try to tell me what to do! You yourself said that you've never raised me from childhood to adulthood, so what right do you have to tell me what to do? You have no right at all!"
Bai Ying was speechless, choked by Bai Ying's words. He trembled with anger, raising his hand as if to punish his disobedient daughter. But just then, Bai Ying glanced at him casually. This seemingly casual glance carried an invisible, powerful authority. Bai Ying felt a chill run down his spine, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back. He froze on the spot, unable to move.
Bai Ying slowly withdrew her gaze, gently raised her hand, and pointed her slender finger at Hua Mujian, coldly saying, "Didn't you keep accusing me of cheating? Then do you dare to fight me on the arena? As far as I know, the Bai family has a special arena where anyone who steps onto the arena is not allowed to use anything other than ordinary weapons without spiritual power. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Bai Ying's aura instantly hardened, her words carrying an undisguised chilling intent that spread through the surrounding air. Having spent years navigating the world of cultivation, she had endured countless perilous situations and tasted the bitterness of human nature.
The once vulnerable and helpless Bai Ying, who was bullied by everyone, has long since disappeared.
She coldly sized up Hua Mujian, who was so brazenly provoking her, her gaze growing increasingly icy.
Since he dared to come here and provoke her, he should naturally pay the price he deserves.
Then go ahead and die a good death!
