Her gaze was indifferent but not ruthless; it was simply more resolute and unwavering than before.
Today's events crossed her line, and perhaps the truth is worse than they imagined.
"If Bai Yusheng had any sense at all, he wouldn't be pleading for his sister who still can't see things clearly. If Yan Hanxing or I had even the slightest intention to kill or plot against Miss today, Miss would be in danger or might be harmed," Qian Youying sighed and shook his head in Ji Fengyao's mind.
As a direct descendant of one of the three major families in Guyue City, he felt quite sympathetic towards Bai Yusheng's plight.
But sympathy is one thing, but when it comes to crucial moments, people still have to rely on themselves to save themselves; no one can make the choices for them.
"No wonder Miss thinks highly of you; you really are a perceptive person," Ji Huo sent a wave of admiring divine thought to Qian Youying.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Qian Youying's spirit trembled with joy as he looked towards the direction of the extreme fire, which was considered a bow.
“But you should put away your feelings for our little Yao’er as soon as possible; our son-in-law is hundreds of millions of times better than you; it would be such a pity if you turned into hatred and enemies because of love.” Ji Huo said calmly, “I’m not exaggerating. Even if a hundred of you worked together for eight lifetimes, you still couldn’t beat my son-in-law.”
Qian Youying: "..."
This spirit fire is truly sentient; it even knows how to help its mistress ward off unwanted suitors and maintain family harmony.
After hearing what Ji Huo said, he became somewhat curious about the son-in-law he hadn't met yet.
However, this is the young lady's private matter. She hasn't made it public, so he shouldn't inquire about it. This is the most basic duty of a subordinate.
Bai Yusheng glanced at Ji Fengyao and knew that there was no turning back Bai Yusu's decision to leave.
He also understood that Ji Fengyao had already given Bai Yusu many chances.
If she punishes so many people today, but makes an exception for Bai Yusu, those who will be punished in the future will remember what happened today and will hold a grudge.
Moreover, he knew his sister well; Yu Su had lived too comfortably and too self-centeredly before.
Even if she stays today, she still won't know what she did wrong, and she'll probably relapse into her old ways after a while.
The world of cultivators is cruel.
The Bai family's pillar has fallen; they must grow on their own and learn how to survive.
Just as their father couldn't protect them for a lifetime, he couldn't stay by Yu Su's side forever to protect her.
“Sister, Father is gone, and Mother is still being held captive by the Bai family. Our Bai family is not what it used to be.” Bai Yusheng withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Bai Yusu.
"I know, I know, you're all I have now, brother. Please plead with Miss for me," Bai Yusu cried in a panic.
“Father only has two children, and I am his only son. Rescuing Mother and revitalizing the Bai family are responsibilities that I, as his son and the eldest son of the Bai family, should shoulder.” Bai Yusheng grabbed Bai Yusu’s outstretched hand, which was reaching out for help, and held it firmly. He said earnestly, “Sister, as your brother, I don’t need you to share these responsibilities with me.”
Bai Yusu was a little confused: "Brother... what do you mean by that?"
"I don't need you to share such heavy responsibilities and obligations with me, but can you be stronger and learn to grow on your own? You can't live your whole life under someone else's wing," Bai Yusheng said, looking at Bai Yusu with heartache.
