196 Don't think it will be that easy

Xi Zirui spares Bai Mi a panicked look. 

Is she trying to threaten Li Siqi and Liao Min? 

Granted, he considered doing it too, but he's only half as intimidating as Bai Mi.

The calculating glint in her eyes makes people feel as if the consequences of not doing what she wants will be lethal, whereas Xi Zirui's threats just make people feel like they'll be annoyed into compliance eventually, so it's better to give in early.

"What my sisters means is that I'm truly terrified of the consequences of going into a tribulation blind," he says, trying to smooth things over. 

Bai Mi isn't impressed by his diplomacy.

"Let's look at this objectively: This tribulation is a lesson for my brother, everyone knows he wouldn't be going on a tribulation this soon. Grandfather only wants to teach him some responsibility," Bai Mi says, very evenly.
