What was more surprising was that Yun Xuerou was suddenly surrounded by mercenaries.

She looked around and spotted Huo Yunshen and Helian Qingyu among them.

It was then that Yun Xuerou finally realized she'd been baited.

It was supposed to be her win. She could've tricked Jing Ruyue out and killed her, but in the end, she was actually the one being targeted.

And she had never expected that one of the people that was coming after her was someone she had raised for more than 20 years.

It was beyond her imagination that Jing Xi would actually disguise as Jing Ruyue and come in her mother's place, and even now, she still had no idea that the Jing Ruyue standing in front of her wasn't the real one.

Huo Yunshen arrived at the canyon as soon as he got Jing Xi's message and had been waiting in the dark for Yun Xuerou to appear.

Realizing that things were going sideways, Yun Xuerou ordered her guards to catch Jing Xi.
