Upon hearing Bai Xuening's soothing whispers, they took a step forward!
Soon, they all voiced their stance unanimously!
"Family Head, you don't need to comfort us ! It's said, 'Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a moment.' Now that we are determined to fight to the death with the Shao Family, we naturally won't shrink back at the battle front!"
"Exactly! If the head is chopped off, it's just a bowl-sized scar—what's there to be afraid of!"
Hearing their expressions of determination, Bai Xuening shook her head.
Soon, she chuckled, saying, "What I said is true. We don't need to fight to the death with the Shao Family anymore! Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had already repelled those people from the Shao Family. They are even preparing to compensate us now!"
As she spoke, Bai Xuening gave Hu Xiaobei a brimming smile...
Regarding Hu Xiaobei, she was truly extremely satisfied…
"What... what? Already... they've already been repelled?"
"That's what I'm saying! How... how is this possible?"
All the young people were stunned at this moment!
The reason they were so shocked was that they knew the Shao Family's strength was formidable!
They had been prepared to die for their family, but now they were told that their enemies had retreated, and most importantly, they were even initiating compensation by ceding territories...
No one could accept it!
Their minds couldn't wrap around it!
Seeing that everyone still couldn't believe it, Bai Mengmeng chuckled, walked up to them, and excitedly began explaining...
Bai Mengmeng's ability to describe was strong, so under her description, everything was restored as it had happened!
After listening, everyone was completely astounded...
Earlier, these young people already knew Hu Xiaobei was no ordinary person, but only after hearing the description did they realize he was not just extraordinary—he was like a Heavenly God descending to earth.
Seeing everyone looking at him with deep respect, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose!
20 minutes later, Hu Xiaobei and Bai Xuening arrived at the back of the Bai Family...
Bai Xuening, looking at Hu Xiaobei, said softly, "Xiaobei, I really need to thank you. If it were not for you, this time everyone in the Bai Family would have been completely doomed! To be honest, I never expected Shao He to be such a fiercely ambitious person!"
Hearing Bai Xuening's sigh, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, saying indifferently, "People are greedy, and Shao He wanting to devour your family isn't, upon reflection, that surprising."
"Yes, not surprising at all! But I didn't expect him to collaborate with the Xie Family to devour us. Thinking about it, they are really seeking the skin of a tiger."
Hearing Bai Xuening mention the Xie Family, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes, and soon, Hu Xiaobei lightly said, "The Shao Family Head Shao He is not a fool either, so his cooperation with the Xie Family must have mutual motives too!"
"That makes sense! Xiaobei, tell me, what should we do next? The Xie Family has laid low for five years, and now their reappearance means they indeed have intentions, so if we don't prepare well, we might really suffer later!"
Bai Xuening was no longer afraid of the Shao Family by now!
But regarding the Xie Family lurking in the shadows, she was truly afraid!
The lean camel is bigger than a horse!
Comparing to five years ago, the Xie Family must have suffered a great blow to their vitality, but they were not to be underestimated!
Sensing Bai Xuening's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly, saying lazily, "When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth! Since the Xie Family is hiding in the dark, we don't have a good solution, so we can only quietly wait for them to make the first move! As soon as they act, we can strike back with the force of thunder!"
"That makes sense! Very rational!"
While Hu Xiaobei and Bai Xuening were discussing countermeasures, the Shao Family Head Shao He returned to the Shao Family with all the young men.
From a distance, Shao He saw the young people responsible for guarding the home standing in a row at the entrance!
Just as he was about to say something...
Shao He suddenly frowned!
Because at that moment, firecrackers were bursting, and drums were thundering...
Soon, Shao He even saw a large group of women starting to perform the Yangge dance in front.
If it were in triumph, Shao He would have been very happy, but now it was a disgraceful defeat, so seeing this lively scene, Shao He's face became increasingly ugly...
In his view, these people performing Yangge in front of him were mocking him.
As his face grew uglier, he saw a confidant running rapidly towards him!
Holding the megaphone in his hand, he ran and bellowed, "Mighty and domineering! For generations to come! The Family Head is mighty!"
With his shout, everyone echoed in unison...
Shao He heard this, and his expression grew even uglier.
Seeing Shao He's drastic change in expression, the confidant holding the megaphone was slightly stunned...
Soon, he walked up to Shao He with a smile and respectfully said, "Family Head, there's no need to be agitated, this is all but our duty!"
In his view, Shao He's current expression was due to being too excited, so much so that he couldn't react!
Hearing his confidant's thoughtful reminder, Shao He responded coldly, "Excited? Excited my ass!"
After this outburst, Shao He, under his bewildered gaze, raised his hand and fiercely slapped him!
After the slap, Shao He walked away expressionlessly!
Like a tumbling gourd, the man rolled on the ground four times.
Afterward, he clumsily got up...
Soon, he looked bewildered at the young men who had returned with Shao He and said, "Did... did I do something wrong?"
Hearing his bewildered inquiry, the young men sighed...
Shortly after, one of them kindly reminded, "Previously, we were defeated in battle, not only did we lose disgracefully, but we also had to pay a massive compensation." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
He found this explanation hard to accept!
He had imagined a hundred thousand ways he might have been beaten before, but he had never anticipated it being due to a defeat in battle...
In his view, a defeat was simply not possible!
After all, their strength was so much higher than their opponents...
Seeing he couldn't accept it, the young man frowned and said, "Later on, you'll understand the specifics!"
After saying this, they quickly walked away!
Watching the young men leave dejectedly, he knew they weren't joking before—it was indeed a true defeat...
He had really missed the mark just now.
As he was brooding, the four Array Masters from the Xie Family who had quietly left earlier arrived at a secluded and bone-chilling place...
This area was overgrown with deadwood and densely filled with poisons...
Generally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to come here...
After arriving confidently, they looked around and quickly stepped into a quiet, deep cave!
Soon, all four of them completely vanished!
This poison-dense place was now the main camp of the Xie Family...
Five years ago, the Xie Family was encircled by all the Hidden Families.
Some escaped through deceitful tactics!
After escaping to survival, they quietly settled here.
For five years, they devoted themselves to cultivating...
This relentless perseverance greatly increased the family's strength...
Although it was still not comparable to the peak five years ago, it had still significantly improved...
Just as they walked in, they heard footsteps...
Raising their heads, they saw a person with a lethargic gaze slowly emerge from the endless darkness...
"Hey, weren't the four of you out assisting the Shao Family in annihilating the Bai Family? How come you've returned so soon? Has the job already been done? The Bai Family must be really rubbish then!"
Where there are people, there are disputes!
And it was the same with the Xie Family!
Although they had hidden themselves away, the Xie Family still had many branches inside...
These four Array Masters and the speaker belonged to different branches, and their relations were typically poor, so although they heard the inquiry, they had no intention of responding...
Not receiving any response, the man was thoroughly annoyed...
He sneered and blocked the four men, "What? Are you deaf? Can't you hear me?"
