A single sentence fell.
The expressions of the Bai family's young masters shifted in various ways.
This young girl before them, so young, yet her cultivation was terrifying.
She could even resist the God Annihilation Formation with ease.
Such a heavenly prodigy becoming Bai Niannian's master would only bring benefits, not harm, to Niannian.
Moreover, this woman was generous, giving away the priceless fifth-grade Solid God Pill as if it were nothing.
Feng Ninghe dismissed it with disdain, mocking herself, "What if she's in the Nascent Soul stage? She still can't protect the people she wants to protect. This level of cultivation is far from enough."
Her eyes blazed with a dim light and longing.
She desired not just this level of cultivation; she wanted to become even stronger!
Only by being sufficiently powerful could she accomplish more.
Bai Feiwen's lips twitched uncontrollably, his gaze fixed on Feng Ninghe.
This woman's talent was terrifying, yet she still complained that her cultivation wasn't enough!
Bai Niannian carefully put away the pill, her eyes sparkling with starlight, her lips curving upwards wildly, "Master, you value me so much, giving me such a precious pill right away! I will definitely not disappoint you!"
How could she possibly deserve a fifth-grade pill?
From now on, she would perform well and not let her master down!
Feng Ninghe smiled and said softly, "I have no demands of you. Just know when to run if you can't win. All you need to do is take care of yourself."
She didn't expect Bai Niannian's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds; she valued Niannian's unique qualities.
Having such a person by her side would make the monotonous days a little more interesting.
Bai Niannian didn't think too deeply, still immersed in joy. She didn't forget to look at her elder brothers, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I plan to follow Master from now on. Wherever Master goes, I go!"
Her half-life was saved by Old Man Xu.
Old Man Xu was Feng Ninghe's eldest disciple, and she would be the second disciple.
Bai Feiwen dotingly tapped her head, "Alright, we are all in Jinling. If anything happens, it will be convenient to find us."
The Willow Face Sect was considered mysterious among the major sects and, as a sect, had a certain foundation.
Even if other sects wanted to make a move, they would have to reconsider.
This place was relatively safe.
Bai Niannian's eyes turned solemn at this moment, and her expression also changed, "Eldest Brother, there's something I must remind you of. Feng Qingcheng is two-faced and cunning. We must be vigilant."
"Feng Qingcheng?"
Bai Feiwen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with slight confusion, "This woman has a good reputation in Jinling. I haven't had much contact with her, but since we are all in Jinling, we will inevitably interact in the future."
When asked, Bai Niannian no longer hesitated and explained the whole story.
As a member of the Bai family, no one should harm her, especially with four elder brothers above her.
But Feng Qingcheng had repeatedly threatened her, wanting her life.
She had even attacked her!
If it weren't for Immortal Xu protecting her with his life, she would have been gone long ago.
"What?"
"Feng Qingcheng dared to treat you like this?"
"Even if she wanted to touch you, she would have to ask us if we agreed first!"
The Bai family brothers were furious, their words pouring out.
Bai Hongyu rolled up his sleeves, grunted, and strode away.
Seeing her brother's demeanor, Bai Niannian became anxious and quickly called out, "Fourth Brother, where are you going?"
Bai Hongyu's expression turned slightly cold, and he quickly revealed his thoughts, "Naturally, I'm going to settle the score with her. Her daring to attack you clearly shows she doesn't respect the Bai family or us. As your fourth brother, how can I stand by and do nothing?"
"That's right, and us too!"
Bai Chenyi and Bai Hongshen patted their chests and said without hesitation.
Bai Niannian couldn't suppress her urgency, her beautiful face filled with anxiety, "No! Feng Qingcheng is cunning and has two faces, one in front of people and another behind their backs. She will definitely not admit it easily!"
Bai Hongyu did not back down because of this, "She dared to attack you. If we stand by and do nothing, Feng Qingcheng will become even more arrogant!"
"My esteemed Bai family brothers need not be too anxious."
Feng Ninghe's gaze fell upon the people before her, and she spoke proactively, "Feng Qingcheng only dares to act in private. When there are many people around, she doesn't have the guts. Her primary target is me. I have a grievance with Feng Qingcheng, and I will settle this account with her on Niannian's behalf."
Her strong and powerful voice was inexplicably convincing.
The Bai family brothers exchanged glances, seemingly contemplating how to proceed.
Bai Feiwen's eyes darkened slightly, a hint of hesitation in his expression, "Feng Qingcheng has many supporters in Jinling. If we rush forward without any evidence, she will certainly deny it, which will be disadvantageous to us. It's better to wait for the right moment and an opportunity to act."
Feng Ninghe smiled and took a step forward, "Since you have come to the Willow Face Sect, don't just stand at the entrance. Let's talk about whatever you need inside."
Bai Niannian suddenly remembered something and quickly chimed in, "Master is right. Everyone, come in and have some tea."
Everyone gradually stepped into the Willow Face Sect.
Si Jianye, who had been watching from the shadows, withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
However, a male voice blocked his path.
"King of Hell, it's been a long time since we played chess together. How about a game today?"
Su Hongxiu spoke proactively, leisurely fanning herself with a fan, her eyes curved into a smile, "My chess skills have improved quite a bit. Perhaps you won't win."
The simple words successfully made Si Jianye raise his eyebrows.
He stopped and turned to look at Su Hongxiu behind him, "This seat will surely make you lose convincingly."
Immortal Sect.
Wang Junzhao hurried over, recounting everything that had happened at the Willow Face Sect.
Mei Ziling had arrived aggressively but had gained no advantage from Feng Ninghe.
Upon learning the full story, Feng Qingcheng's heart sank. She tightly clenched her sleeves, her eyes radiating a cold light, "What did you say? Feng Ninghe has a way to prove her innocence?"
Wang Junzhao nodded generously, "That's right. Feng Ninghe indeed said so. She said she would publicly present the evidence at Sect Leader Di's birthday banquet to clear her name."
Feng Ninghe's audacity in doing so also made everyone begin to doubt who the true culprit behind the scenes was.
The blockade in Jinling would only be lifted three months later, but the birthday banquet was to be held in one month.
Feng Ninghe could not escape; she wouldn't be able to leave Jinling during this period.
Wang Junzhao casually picked up a fruit and ate it, her clear eyes filled with intense doubt, "Sister Qingcheng, she dares to present evidence in front of everyone. We indeed didn't see her kill Senior Brother Di with our own eyes. Perhaps we misunderstood her."
Even she began to waver in her thoughts.
If Feng Ninghe failed to produce evidence in front of everyone, she would face the condemnation of the major sects.
Si Jianye did not fear the sects, but he certainly did not want to be enemies with them.
How could a mere Feng Ninghe be worthy of the King of Hell's attention?
Feng Qingcheng's expression turned cold, her exquisitely made-up face covered in gloom, her heart filled with unease, "Did that bitch say what evidence she has?"
