Cover, all the light!

Lan Yangcheng.

Situ Yan and Mu Jinse had been keeping an eye on the movements of the Lan family, ready to lend support to Baili Hongzhuang at the slightest sign of trouble.

"It seems that things are going more smoothly than we expected since they've entered the Ice and Snow Divine Pool," Mu Jinse said with a faint smile. Baili Hongzhuang's methods were truly remarkable.

Although she hadn't attended the banquet herself, she had heard enough from the rumors circulating within the Lan family to know just how astonishing Baili Hongzhuang's performance had been.

"There shouldn't be any problems within the Ice and Snow Divine Pool. Let's wait here for Ling Bing and the others to arrive," Situ Yan spoke slowly.

Mu Jinse nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her face, but a cold glint flashed in the depths of her eyes.

During their time in Lan Yangcheng, she had also come across Yue Siqing. However, compared to twenty years ago, Yue Siqing had aged significantly.

The moment Mu Jinse laid eyes on Yue Siqing, she couldn't restrain the hatred and killing intent in her heart.

However, it wasn't the right time to reveal her emotions yet, so she had to endure it.

The pain and torment of all these years, three generations of their family destroyed by Yue Siqing's hands—Mu Jinse's hatred for Yue Siqing couldn't be explained in just a few words.

Fortunately, after Baili Hongzhuang had healed her and given her the Revitalizing Pill, she had regained her youthful appearance. It was bound to disappoint Yue Siqing when she saw that Mu Jinse hadn't been disfigured.

Meanwhile, Yue Siqing was doing everything she could at her residence to concoct the most potent poison. She and Lan Jingkuang were on the same boat, and with Baili Hongzhuang humiliating her in front of everyone, she couldn't let it go without revenge.

"That damn Baili Hongzhuang, for some reason, I feel like she's familiar..." Yue Siqing muttered to herself as she prepared the poison.

It was a strange feeling. She had never seen this face before, yet she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She always trusted her instincts, so if it felt familiar, it must mean she had seen it before...

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Lan Qingyan released the hand seal she had been maintaining. The hand seal consumed her mental energy, so she needed to take breaks every few days to recover.

However, as she stopped her absorption this time, she noticed that Baili Hongzhuang showed no signs of stopping.

Previously, the water in the divine pool had been evenly divided between Lan Qingyan and Baili Hongzhuang, but now that Lan Qingyan had stopped, the water seemed to tilt heavily toward Baili Hongzhuang, almost completely concealing her in a mist of energy.

"Damn it! How does Baili Hongzhuang manage to keep absorbing energy for so long?" Lan Qingyan's face turned pale. Her father had secretly taught her a secret technique that allowed her to reach this level, so did Baili Hongzhuang have her own secret technique as well?

Her mind raced as she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of dread from Baili Hongzhuang's extraordinary performance and unfathomable background.

Because Baili Hongzhuang's presence was simply too outstanding!

In comparison, Baili Hongzhuang had overshadowed every one of them.

"Baili Hongzhuang, don't you dare use any sinister means within the Ice and Snow Divine Pool!" Lan Qingyan couldn't help but speak out.
