Chapter 2342 - 2345: A City of Prosperity Filled with Killing Intent

Just as the stunning actress Song Weiyin, accompanied by her female assistant, silently followed alongside Mirage Qimeng and others heading towards Sheng He, meanwhile in the Provincial City, on the upper floor of Chengxinyi Trading Company, Bai Shiyi, dressed in a navy blue suit with shiny leather shoes, sat with a cold gaze on the sofa, watching Bai Jiao who was visibly angry.

"Gong Ziyi has gone crazy."

Looking at Bai Shiyi's icy gaze, Bai Jiao angrily said, "You're scared!"

Bai Shiyi's face was extremely unpleasant, and he said sternly, "Is this how you speak to your father?"

Bai Jiao, angrily, said, "What do you want me to do? You say Bai Shiyi has gone mad, you say his people want to act against Sheng He, you say you want me to stay by your side, what about everyone else? What will happen to them?"

Bai Shiyi said coldly, "Bai Jiao! I'm telling you, now isn't the time for a temper tantrum, you must understand, Gong Ziyi isn't just an ordinary cultivator, he is the top aristocrat in the cultivation world, his rise isn't a miracle, his background, his strength, none of it can be matched by Shen Qiang!"

"Then help him!" Bai Jiao retorted angrily.

Bai Shiyi rebuked angrily, "Impudent! Who do you think you are? Will the hundreds of people in the Bai Family sacrifice everything for you?"

"Then go home!" Bai Jiao retorted with a cold face.

Bai Shiyi coldly said, "I thought you've grown up! But you're still so headstrong, some people are born to be above others, and in their eyes, there's only prey, understand? Once you're targeted, it becomes a relentless pursuit!"

"I won't go with you." Bai Jiao turned her head, gazing peacefully out the window.

Bai Shiyi gritted his teeth with anger, "Bai Jiao, I know, you love Shen Qiang very much, you like Sheng He, and you like being here, but you must understand, sometimes in Jianghu, you can't have everything your way, I am the head of the Bai Family, I can't afford to be reckless amidst hundreds of family members."

"Gong Ziyi isn't part of Kunlun Sword Sect, nor Hidden Sword Villa, he is the noble son of the Abyss, he never follows reason, do you understand? I'm simply asking you to go home with me to avoid the storm for now, wait for this madness to pass, and then speak with him to resolve the matter, wouldn't that be simple enough?"

Bai Jiao smiled, "I've grown up, you can't deceive me with lies anymore, if things were really that simple, you wouldn't come here looking for me."

Bai Shiyi frowned, after a long silence said, "Bai Jiao, as your father, I know you believe in love, and I believe in it too, but there's something you must understand, in the cultivation world, the strongest ally is a Daoist couple, and also the most fragile is a Daoist couple."

"Do you understand? Couples are like birds of the same forest, when disaster strikes, they fly separate ways, this truth applies not only to ordinary people's world but also in the cultivation world."

"Don't use your truth to disgust my love," Bai Jiao's gaze was chillingly cold.

Looking at Bai Jiao, Bai Shiyi said, "Shen Qiang is very capable, to be honest, he's even better than I was at his age, but the current situation is different, Shen Qiang won't be in trouble because I know, the Dragon Group's War God would never allow anyone to harm his disciples, but when you're in danger, the Dragon Group's War God won't intervene."

"So trust your father, I absolutely won't harm you, follow me, staying here is meaningless, once the storm passes, I'll bring you back, let me assure you, if Shen Qiang dares to show you any disrespect, I won't spare him."

"Enough!" Bai Jiao said with a super cold face, "I won't leave, even if the sky falls, Shen Qiang is not here, I'll carry it for him, because I am his Daoist couple, even if the entire world abandons him when he faces danger, I'll accompany him to the ends of the world, so stop speaking."

With that, Bai Jiao stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

"Miss!"

A young man blocked the doorway.

"Get out of the way!"

Bai Jiao's expression was shockingly cold.

"Let her go."

In the young man's questioning gaze, Bai Shiyi calmly said, "Bai Jiao, I am glad you have your own thoughts, have the awareness of a lady of the house, but if you step out of this room and encounter danger, I won't save you."

"This is Shen Family's territory!"

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The young man anxiously said, "Family Head, Gong Ziyi's arranged people to ambush Sheng He, so many people have died, now he's definitely turned into a mad dog, the latest news from over there is that he furiously went to the airport, his flight path arranged here, he won't show mercy to women."

"Shut up." Bai Shiyi said with cold eyes, "I've already told her everything I needed to say, that betrayal is an unforgivable sin, if possible, I'd never allow my daughter to betray anyone, she's done that, this is her home, she has the right to choose the life she wants."

The young man instantly fell silent, hesitating a moment, he said, "Family Head, why not call for help, it's still time."

Bai Shiyi chuckled, "I've said it, I am the family head, I won't bring Gong Ziyi's wrath upon the Bai Family hence..."

After tossing the handbag to the young man, Bai Shiyi stood up with cold eyes, gently shaking his neck, and amidst the crisp sound from his cervical spine, said calmly, "If Gong Ziyi dares not to have eyes for hitting on my daughter, I'll personally snap his neck."

"Quite an idea."

As Bai Shiyi finished speaking, the head of Xu Family from the Wanxin Hesheng unexpectedly appeared at the window, with a slight teasing smile at the corner of his mouth. "I just wonder, after wearing suits for so many years, can you still kill?"

"Want to try?" Bai Shiyi smiled, "I've never let my skills slide, but you, being a puppet for so many years, probably can't even take on a small fry, can you?"

The Xu Family head laughed as he walked in, sat directly on the desk, then waved his hand to attract an apple from the fruit platter in front of the sofa.

Crunch!

Taking a big bite, the Xu Family head said, "Do you know what's the hardest thing in life?"

Looking at Bai Shiyi, the Xu Family head smiled, "Playing dumb, it's much harder than cultivation."

"Seems like the Xu Family's stance is similar to Bai Family's." Bai Shiyi smiled.

The Xu Family head raised an eyebrow, "The Elder Council thinks it's a matter between Sheng He and Gong Ziyi, they're endlessly meeting to discuss whether to intervene, how ridiculous, I, the family head, can't even speak a word."

Bai Shiyi chuckled, "In the cultivation world, family interests are paramount, that's the rule, it cannot be broken, so I'm suddenly a bit curious, you were the Xu Family's number one young master twenty years ago, now looking at you, you seem like a weakling."

The Xu Family head laughed, his restrained aura instantaneously became as sturdy as fine steel, "You should be thankful Shen Qiang is a good kid, otherwise, to break you, it would only take one punch from me."
