Remind, Lin Xirou

"After becoming friends with me, Miss Baili, I have a piece of advice for you. I hope you won't blame me for speaking out," Lin Xirou said slowly.

Baili Hongzhuang smiled, "Please go ahead. If it's a well-intentioned reminder, why would I think otherwise?"

"Han Xiling is not as gentle as she appears. Now that you are with Emperor Beichen, you have to be cautious of Han Xiling's methods. Don't let your guard down," Lin Xirou whispered in a voice only Baili Hongzhuang could hear.

Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow. It seemed her guess was correct. There must be some undisclosed grudge between Lin Xirou and Han Xiling.

However, what Lin Xirou said was not wrong. Han Xiling was definitely not someone to be underestimated. The reason she had not taken action against Baili Hongzhuang so far was that Han Xiling was clever enough not to show any negative aspects in front of Emperor Beichen.

Once this expedition to the ruins was over, Han Xiling would surely make her move, and trouble would follow closely behind.

However, trouble could also be a driving force for progress. If Han Xiling sent trouble her way, Baili Hongzhuang would treat it as a test and use it to hone her own strength. It was also a good choice.

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Lin. I will be more careful," Baili Hongzhuang replied.

Her face, exuding beauty and grace, displayed a gentle and bright smile. Baili Hongzhuang's expression was calm yet serious. Since Lin Xirou's reminder was well-intentioned, she would accept this kindness.

After all, there was no conflict of interest between them, and Baili Hongzhuang believed that Lin Xirou had no intention of harming her.

As the saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," and their common adversary was Han Xiling!

Yan Lingxuan and the others were surprised to see Lin Xirou suddenly engaged in a low conversation with Baili Hongzhuang. It seemed they were getting along well. It was a stark contrast to Lin Xirou's usual behavior, and they couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

After issuing her warning to Baili Hongzhuang, Han Xiling stopped speaking and returned to her original place with a cheerful smile.

Baili Hongzhuang's current displayed abilities were enough for her to reach out and improve their relationship. However, it wasn't enough to reveal everything. Nevertheless, it was still a good choice to establish a positive relationship now.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but walk up to Baili Hongzhuang and ask, "Hongzhuang, what did Lin Xirou say to you just now?"

As the words left her mouth, Xia Zhiqing felt like she was being overly nosy and hurriedly explained, "I just thought that people from influential families usually have hidden motives, so I asked. If you don't want to answer, it's okay."

Seeing Xia Zhiqing's anxious and flustered appearance, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but laugh lightly. "Zhiqing, I understand your thoughts. You don't need to explain."

"Ah?" Xia Zhiqing was still a little worried, but seeing Baili Hongzhuang's genuine expression, she felt relieved. "That's good. I was afraid you would misunderstand me."

"With the relationship between the two of us, how could I misunderstand you?" Baili Hongzhuang smiled and patted Xia Zhiqing's shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't overthink it.

"Lin Xirou just gave me some reminders, nothing more. There's no need to worry."
