Ning Hong glanced at Bai Ruoya silently. "Miss Bai, our Ning family members did the most work just now, so it's only right that we let them rest a little longer. To be honest, this is your Bai family's business, but I don't think the Bai family disciples were of any help just now."
“Senior Brother Ning, our Bai family disciples are in short supply and are indeed not as good as your Ning family disciples. Besides, the capable should do more work. Once our Bai family disciples are rescued, our Bai family will definitely prepare generous gifts and personally visit to express our gratitude.”
"We don't lack these generous gifts; what's important are our disciples."
Ning Hua retorted bluntly, "No one knows what will happen if we enter this thick fog. The Bai family clearly wants the Ning family to be the first to go."
They wouldn't want to.
Are you unwilling to sacrifice your own disciples, but want to sacrifice disciples from other sects?
"You don't need to flatter us. All four major sects are here. Do you really think these sects are inferior to our Ning family?"
How should I put this?
Even if that is indeed the case, if those words were actually spoken, it would likely offend people from other sects.
“Miss Ning, you are mistaken. Miss Bai is just anxious for a moment. Of course, she will not let the Ning family take the lead.”
Wei Yuanhao stepped forward and said.
"Our Wei family—" He originally wanted to say that the Wei family should take the lead, but before he could finish speaking, Wei Yong interrupted him.
Although Wei Yong is not a very reliable person, he is genuinely kind to the members of the Wei family.
At this moment, although Ning Hong didn't like him, there was no doubt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than Wei Yuanhao.
"The Wei family is also facing a generational gap; they're all exhausted."
"Uncle Wei."
Wei Yuanhao was extremely displeased that Wei Yong was showing him no respect.
“Uncle Wei, if Wei Yuanhao wants to show off in front of the beauty, let him go in by himself. There’s no need to stop him,” Jiang Suwan sneered.
"Jiang family girl."
Upon hearing Jiang Suwan's words, Wei Yong frowned.
These two engaged couples, for some reason, always seemed to be arguing and bickering, almost like two kings who couldn't stand each other.
"He is your fiancé, don't speak so harshly."
"My fiancé?" Jiang Suwan scoffed. "My fiancé is busy with other women, how could he possibly think of me?"
Despite the huge incident that happened to the Jiang family, Wei Yuanhao didn't offer any help; instead, he kept comforting Bai Ruoya.
Wei Yong immediately fell silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he genuinely didn't know what to say.
This is true. Even at this moment, Wei Yuanhao's entire focus is on Bai Ruoya, getting entangled with a married woman.
What was he supposed to say?
And then there's Shan Qing.
He neglects his own wife but cares about others instead.
Are young people's values so abnormal these days?
To be honest, Jiang Suwan herself felt a little depressed.
She did like Wei Yuanhao; after all, everyone told her that this man would be her husband in the future, and she had always believed it. But in the end, she realized she was wrong.
This man doesn't like her.
Of course, she didn't care.
After all, there are plenty of men in the world.
Jiang Suwan is not bad-looking, and comes from a good family.
Even if she's not a very likable person, selfish and jealous, she still has no shortage of suitors.
But for some reason, she was sent to Wei Yuanhao's bed.
She had always suspected her parents and Wei Yuanhao's parents, and she felt that perhaps the elders of both families were working together to force them to be together.
Jiang Suwan was also well aware that although they were both naked, nothing should have happened between them.
She had mentioned it to her parents, but they simply ignored her.
At that moment, she suddenly understood.
Perhaps her parents didn't care whether she had actually slept with Wei Yuanhao or not; all they wanted was for the two families to cooperate.
By the time the Ning family members' spiritual power had all recovered, it was already late and pitch black all around.
Bai Ruoya unleashed four luminous pearls, piercing the darkness of the night.
But this also made the thick fog seem even more eerie.
There seemed to be movement again in the thick fog.
The screams of agony were incessant.
"He is a disciple of the Bai family." Bai Ruoya was startled, as if she were rushing into the thick fog.
"Ruoya, don't worry. There are many demons in this thick fog. It might be a lure from the demons to tempt you into going in. If you lose your mind, you'll fall into their trap."
“Miss, please don’t worry. In this thick fog, no one knows what’s going on. So many disciples have already gone and never returned. If something happens to you too, what will you do for Master and Madam?” The Bai family servant also advised.
"But--"
Bai Ruoya's heart sank slightly.
If those screams truly came from disciples of the Bai family, then these people were likely facing a near-certain death.
"Brother, what exactly is going on?"
"I'm not quite sure either."
The fog came out of nowhere.
These screams were truly terrifying.
"Senior Brother, they—"
Ning Ziyu and the others gripped their longswords tightly. The Ning family rules state that they should walk with swords, help the weak and punish the strong, and uphold justice.
They cannot stand by and watch someone die.
“The Bai family is all here. It’s not your turn to rush forward. What do you think of the Bai family by acting like this?”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Bai family members standing on the far side immediately turned pale.
It turned green then white, and white then green again.
For a short while, everyone's face carried a complex expression.
Bai Ruoya gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Ning Hongze. "Let's go in and take a look first."
"Young Miss?" The servant wanted to say a few more words of advice.
Bai Ruoya shook her head. "Don't try to persuade me anymore. This is something I should do." As the heir of the Bai family, she has responsibilities she should bear.
Bai Ruoya took the lead.
Wei Yuanhao followed behind Bai Ruoya.
This made Wei Yong furious.
"Yuan Hao, what are you doing?"
“Uncle, Father once said that we should uphold justice and punish evil. There are many demons in this thick fog. We must eliminate them all, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to escape if they enter this mountain.”
"This is the Bai family's training ground; how can ordinary people be allowed to enter?"
Ning Hua couldn't help but blurt out, "If ordinary people can just casually climb the mountain, then how can this mountain become a training ground for the Bai family's descendants for generations?"
Wei Yuanhao: "—" This woman—
No matter how Wei Yong tried to persuade him, Wei Yuanhao remained unwilling to change his mind.
Seeing this, Wei Yong kept quiet.
Only then did he realize that Wei Yuanhao was completely unsuitable to inherit the Wei family business.
For Wei Yuanhao, perhaps none of the Wei family members are as important as a woman.
