Lan Qingyan's heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness, realizing that she absolutely couldn't provoke Baili Hongzhuang any further at this moment, or she would be the one in trouble.
Fortunately, Ouyang Yitian was there to help. If she were alone, she wouldn't know what to do.
Although she felt extremely embarrassed, Lan Qingyan was grateful to Ouyang Yitian. After all, she wasn't the only one losing face now, which made her feel slightly better.
"Baili, the young mistress of the Bai family, since things have come to this point and a real fight is about to break out, it won't be easy for us to explain when we return. How about you propose a condition, and we'll call it quits?" Ouyang Yitian's expression was calm. There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. He believed that Baili Hongzhuang, being clever enough, would surely agree.
Shangguan Yingying and Wen Ziran exchanged a glance. Ouyang Yitian was indeed a remarkable person. Once the Ouyang family and the Lan family formed an alliance through marriage, it would be even more difficult to deal with them in the future.
Lan Qingyan was already powerful on her own, but she had a reckless personality and lacked careful consideration. However, with Ouyang Yitian by her side, the situation would completely change.
Baili Hongzhuang observed Ouyang Yitian in front of her, realizing that he truly understood how to handle such matters.
"A condition?" Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. "Sure!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yitian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Baili Hongzhuang was willing to compromise, even if they had to pay some price, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, they would have plenty of opportunities to settle the score in the future.
"As long as it belongs to my Ouyang family and the Lan family, feel free to ask. After the Battle of Hegemony ends, we will immediately provide it to you!"
A glimmer returned to Lan Qingyan's eyes. This delaying tactic was truly brilliant. Once the Battle of Hegemony was over, she would make sure that Baili Hongzhuang knew the cost of offending her. If she didn't personally torture Baili Hongzhuang to death, she wouldn't be Lan Qingyan!
Baili Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix eyes, looking at Lan Qingyan's spirited expression. Without a doubt, she knew exactly what scheme Lan Qingyan had in mind. However, it was unfortunate for Lan Qingyan because Baili Hongzhuang wouldn't let her have a good time.
"No need to go through so much trouble. The thing I want, you can give me right now," Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a playful and mocking smile. "It's just a matter of whether Lan Qingyan is willing or not."
"Baili, feel free to speak."
At once, all eyes fell on Baili Hongzhuang, curious about what she desired.
Although Shangguan Yingying was somewhat unwilling to let Lan Qingyan and the others off so easily, she understood that it was ultimately Baili Hongzhuang's matter. As long as Baili Hongzhuang agreed, she wouldn't have any objections.
"My request is simple. I don't need any treasures. I just want Lan Qingyan to kneel down and apologize to me. If she does that, I'll let you all go. How about it?"
Her words were casual, filled with amusement and mockery. Baili Hongzhuang didn't care about any treasures. What she wanted was simply to make Lan Qingyan uncomfortable!
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone present gasped in shock. They didn't expect Baili Hongzhuang to make such an outrageous demand. Based on Baili Hongzhuang's previous behavior, it was completely unlike her to say such words.
However, everyone present heard it loud and clear, and there was no room for doubt.
