Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing the provocation, even the typically composed Hong Fang couldn’t suppress his anger. He took a few steps forward, ready to retaliate physically.

However, Gu Chaoyan intervened, urging him not to act impulsively. She reminded him that there was no need to display their cultivation prowess in this momentary quarrel. They should save their energy for the compet.i.tion, where they would have ample opportunities to humiliate their opponents. Following Gu Chaoyan’s advice, Hong Fang restrained himself from attacking.

Nevertheless…

They couldn’t simply let the mockery slide.

“Si Kangning, mind your words. It seems like only your Si Family lacks manners. When you encounter guests visiting the Bai Clan, all you know how to do is slander them. If outsiders hear this, they might think that everyone in our Bai Clan is like you, Si Kangning. Who knows how the reputation of the Bai Clan will be tarnished because of your actions?” Hong Fang addressed Si

Kangning directly.

“In addition, the four of us returned to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. If the Bai family is deemed qualified to compete, so are we,” Hong Fang a.s.serted.

Si Kangning’s face contorted with anger upon hearing their words.

The Bai Clan was a relatively small clan, and over the years, people gradually arrived seeking exchange for various items like pills, magical weapons—possessions that the Bai Clan themselves couldn’t acquire easily.

Many members of the Bai Clan had benefited from these external interactions.

Initially, Si Kangning had only intended to tease the four “good-for-nothings.” He hadn’t antic.i.p.ated the turn of events or his own words. Furthermore, since the three women were not Bai Clan members, he was unaware of their backgrounds.

The world of cultivation was filled with intricate dynamics.

Si Kangning dared not offend those outside his clan. He could only shoot Hong Fang an exasperated glare. “You think the four of you can compete? I’m afraid you’ll be knocked out in the first round. You don’t even know your own limits.

Where do you find the audacity to compete?”

“We’ll settle it on the compet.i.tion stage,” Si Kangning declared.

“We’ll settle it on the compet.i.tion stage,” Hong Fang responded firmly, refusing to show any signs of weakness.

Si Kangning snorted derisively.

He looked at Hong Fang and the others with disdain.

‘Just them.’

Were they even worth his attention?

However, Si Kangning chose not to say anything further.

He had left a mark with his earlier remarks. Besides, if the other party insisted on pursuing the matter, it wouldn’t bode well for him. For now, he would let it go and consider the situation later.

Si Kangning departed, followed by his companions.

Hong Fang watched them leave, his satisfaction fleeting.

The four of them were accustomed to such mockery, and they would usually retaliate. In the past, it was their only means of self-preservation.

And now, it remained the same.

However…

Now, they had the qualification to face them on the compet.i.tion stage, and perhaps, even emerge victorious.

Hong Fang cheered silently in his heart.

As they continued on their way, Hong Fang turned to Gu Chaoyan with an apologetic tone. “Master, I apologize for my impulsiveness earlier. I shouldn’t have provoked him.”

Gu Chaoyan responded rea.s.suringly, “You displayed a balance between humility and a.s.sertiveness. You advocated for maintaining a low profile, but you also stood up against bullying. You handled it well.”

Her words aligned perfectly with her usual approach to situations.

Hong Fang felt a sense of relief wash over him.

The Wu family’s residence was just ahead, not far from where they stood..
