The Hua family initially did not intend to delve into the matter between Bai Ying and Hua Mujian.
In their view, firstly, Bai Ying's strength was too formidable, and rashly offending such a person would undoubtedly bring them great trouble; secondly, Hua Mujian's injury, upon closer examination, had little direct connection with Bai Ying, and was entirely due to the backlash he suffered.
Moreover, the Hua family and the Bai family are engaged.
Based on these considerations, the Hua family decided to swallow their anger for now and focus on curing Hua Mujian first.
But as soon as Bai Di arrived at the Hua family, she began her performance.
She cried so pitifully, adding fuel to the fire, saying, "Brother Hua, the Bai family has now completely accepted Bai Ying. As soon as she came back, she completely replaced me. Now they are actually discussing your marriage with Bai Ying."
Bai Ying was incredibly arrogant. She said you're now a cripple and don't deserve her at all, and she kept insisting on annulling the engagement.
As she spoke, she kept wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, looking so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her.
The Hua family members were still methodically arranging Hua Mujian's treatment when they heard Bai Di's words and were immediately stunned.
They never expected the Bai family to be so heartless, wanting to turn their backs on them.
In an instant, anger appeared on the faces of everyone in the Hua family, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Well, this Bai family! Mu Jian was injured there, and they not only ignored it, but now they're even in a hurry to break off the engagement with my Hua family!"
An elder of the Chinese family was so angry that his face turned red. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table next to him, making the table shake.
Seeing that everyone was enraged, Bai Di secretly rejoiced, but still pretended to be frightened and aggrieved, continuing to add fuel to the fire.
"Bai Ying also said that in order to prevent future troubles, she would take action against Brother Hua! She said that the Hua family was not good enough for her at all, and if anyone dared to disobey her, she would not hesitate to kill her marriage partner."
With each word she spoke, Bai Di observed the Hua family's reactions. Seeing that everyone was getting angrier, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
Bai Di's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing straight to the Hua family's Achilles' heel.
The Hua family, as a family of cultivators, has always been respected. When has it ever been so humiliated?
In fact, even if Hua Mujian is unable to marry Bai Ying due to his injury, the Hua family has other outstanding members. If they can facilitate a marriage between Bai Ying and another member of the Hua family, they can temporarily swallow their anger for the sake of the family's interests.
However, they never expected that Bai Ying would be so arrogant! Not only did she look down on Hua Mujian, but she didn't even care about the entire Hua family.
The eldest elder of the Hua family, already known for his fiery temper, was now even more enraged. He abruptly stood up, veins bulging on his face, and slammed his fist on the table. With a loud crack, the sturdy table shattered, sending splinters flying. "This Bai Ying is utterly outrageous! How can my Hua family tolerate such humiliation! I will immediately summon my patriarch to deal with her properly! This brat must not be allowed to live!"
After saying this, the important figures of the Hua family left without even saying goodbye, their steps hurried, clearly eager to ask the patriarch to stand up for the Hua family.
Bai Di watched their departing figures, a hint of wild joy flashing in his eyes.
She had long heard that the Hua family's patriarch was a true Nascent Soul stage expert, vastly different from those who supposedly had one foot in the Nascent Soul stage. In her view, as long as the Hua family patriarch made a move, even if Bai Ying had immense abilities, she would find it difficult to withstand him. At that time, she could completely eliminate this thorn in her side.
Upon hearing Bai Di's words, Hua Mujian's anger flared up instantly. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Outrageous! That damned Bai Ying is going too far! I should have released those poisonous beasts when she wasn't looking and crippled her. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this predicament!"
However, his body was already extremely weak, and these harsh words triggered a violent coughing fit as soon as they left his mouth. He hunched over, clutching his chest tightly with both hands, coughing until his face was red and his ears were burning. Each cough seemed to use all his strength, as if he wanted to cough up his internal organs.
Seeing this, Bai Di quickly reached out and gently patted his back. Her movements seemed gentle and caring, but a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed in her eyes. She said softly, "Brother Hua, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick from it." Her voice was sweet as honey, but in her heart, it was all fake.
Hearing the gentle words of comfort behind him, Hua Mujian felt a surge of warmth in his heart, completely unaware of the strange look in Bai Di's eyes.
He turned around and tightly grasped Bai Di's hand with his thin, bloodless hand.
His eyes were filled with deep affection and determination: "Xiao Di, you're the best. When I was at my lowest point, you were the only one who stayed by my side. I swear, I will never let Bai Ying take your place. I will make you even stronger than her!"
Bai Di had only offered a few words of feigned comfort, after all, in her heart, Hua Mujian was now nothing but a cripple, long since devoid of any use. But upon hearing Hua Mujian's words, her curiosity was piqued. She tilted her head slightly, a hint of doubt on her face, and asked, "I'm stronger than Bai Ying? How is that possible?"
"Bai Ying is strong, isn't it just because she's talented?" Hua Mujian said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a crazed light. "Now my clan patriarch and the others must have gone to invite our ancestor. You know, our ancestor is a true Nascent Soul cultivator! No matter how powerful Bai Ying is, can she defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator? She's doomed this time!"
"Once she dies, I'll have the Ancestor dig out her spiritual root and give it to you. Little Di, I want you to be even stronger than her."
Hua Mujian spoke these words with utmost tenderness; he truly loved Bai Di to the extreme.
Even though his own spiritual root was destroyed, his first instinct upon receiving Bai Ying's spiritual root was to give it to Bai Di. As long as Xiao Di was happy, that was better than anything else.
Sure enough, a smile appeared on Bai Di's face again.
At this moment, the group of Bai family elders returned, their eyes clearly showing more confidence.
Hua Mujian's mother was the first to approach Bai Di and hand her a small array.
"Bai Di, you must do us a favor. The next time you see Bai Ying, please throw it out and trap her within this formation. This formation is something we obtained from our ancestor. With it, Bai Ying will never be able to escape from this formation again! Our ancestor will then deal with her!"
