Mo Yunjing spoke up from behind: "Princess Ning, Bai Duo hasn't even had a chance to say anything yet, why are you so eager to condemn yourself?"
Bai Ningning's face stiffened. No matter how eloquent she was, she couldn't change her image now.
"But my sister told me this! I used a recording stone because I was afraid she'd renege on the agreement. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to everyone right now." Lu Qingyan proudly raised her chin, her heart aching with regret for all the points she had painstakingly accumulated.
Even among the demon race, recording stones are extremely precious, and most of them are used to record battle images. There are very few people like Lu Qingyan who use them for fun.
Therefore, when she spoke, Mo Yunjing assumed that the recording stone was given to her by Bai Duo, while Bai Duo assumed that the recording stone was given to him by Mo Yunjing. Both of them thought the same thing without asking further questions, which was truly a wonderful misunderstanding.
Upon hearing about the image-recording stone, Bai Ningning's face turned deathly pale. She couldn't believe that Bai Qianqian had become so cunning in just a short time.
She didn't even have a single thing as a memory stone, so how did Bai Qianqian end up with one?
Thinking this way, Bai Ningning felt increasingly resentful.
Seeing Bai Ningning's absent-minded look, Bai Duo asked again, "Ningning, what do you want the Thousand Flower Fruit for?"
Bai Ningning looked like she had done something wrong and backed away. She stammered, "Father, I... I didn't mean to do anything. I just heard that the Thousand Flower Fruit can help people cultivate, so I asked my sister to help me find it."
She lowered her head in disappointment: "I know that no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to my younger sister who is more talented, but I'm not willing to accept it. We are both your daughters, so why can she do what I can't? I also want to become stronger and don't want to embarrass you. As for other things, I've never thought about competing for anything. I just don't want you all to be left here all alone."
Bai Ningning's words, which were both persuasive and emotional, moved not only Bai Duo but also Lu Qingyan, though the tears she shed could only be described as crocodile tears.
She wouldn't be swayed by Bai Ningning's so-called talk of becoming stronger. No matter how delicious the food, only the taste matters. And no matter how good a person is, you have to see if their intentions are genuine or feigned.
However, most of the time, it's hard to tell the difference between truth and falsehood.
Bai Duo always unconsciously shows more leniency towards his daughter: "Alright, Ningning, Dad believes in you."
After saying that, she turned to Lu Qingyan with dissatisfaction and said, "Honestly, why are you playing tricks on your sister? Would she really harm you?"
Lu Qingyan muttered, "If she doesn't hurt me, who will?"
Lu Qingyan narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Bai Ningning was indeed favored by Bai Duo, and she had turned the situation in her favor with just a few words.
"Then... Sister, can I keep this for myself?" Lu Qingyan asked with a smile.
Now that you've already gotten a good deal from Bai Duo, you shouldn't be clinging to what you already have. You can't expect Bai Ningning to get all the benefits in the world, can you?
Looking at Bai Duo's expression, Lu Qingyan said, "Sister, I didn't mean anything by it. I just think this green fruit looks pretty and I wanted to keep it as a keepsake."
