Chapter 17 Bai Zhan's Changing Face

Mufeng City, Bai Family

"Ming... Miss Mingxue..."

The servants guarding the gate of the Bai Family were all a little surprised to see the embarrassed figure appearing at the gate of the Bai Family.

At this moment, Bai Mingxue's face was still a little pale, and her clothes were messy, but her eyes were cold and indifferent.

She ignored the gazes of the servants and walked straight into the gate of the Bai Family.

Soon, the news that Bai Mingxue, who had disappeared for several days, had returned reached the ears of the head of the Bai Family.

He went directly to Bai Mingxue's residence, a small courtyard in the most remote part of the Bai Family's mansion.

He knocked on the door gently, and soon Bai Mingxue, who had changed her clothes, came out and looked at the visitor with a cold look.

"Mingxue, where have you been? You made your uncle worried to death." The head of the Bai Family saw Bai Mingxue, who was wearing a simple linen dress but had an extraordinary temperament, and asked with a concerned tone.

"Sorry, uncle. I went into the Dark Soul Mountains to hunt monsters."

Bai Mingxue was indifferent to the concerned look of the Bai family head, and just said it briefly.

The Bai family head seemed not to hear the alienation in Bai Mingxue's tone, and still spoke softly with a gentle smile.

"I'm glad you can return safely."

"Uncle, is there anything else? If not, I still have to take care of Xiaoqing. Her condition has become worse in the past few days when I was away."

Bai Mingxue said.

"Uh..." The Bai family head was speechless for a moment.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Mingxue, why are you doing this..."

"I know you have grievances against the family, but everything should be considered from the overall perspective. As long as you..."

Bai Mingxue interrupted the head of the Bai family: "Don't say anything, uncle, aren't you here to persuade me to agree to be a concubine to the third prince of Tianyue Kingdom?"

"I can agree, but the premise is that Xiaoqing's illness must be cured, otherwise I won't agree."

Hearing this, the head of the Bai family was immediately ecstatic.

"So you agree?!"

"You should have thought it through long ago. If you marry the third prince, my Bai family will not just be one of the three major families in Mufeng City."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about Xiaoqing. The third prince likes you very much, so this request is naturally a piece of cake."

"I will arrange a new residence for you and assign a few maids to look after Xiaoqing."

Seeing the head of the Bai family so eager, Bai Mingxue's heart became even colder.

To put it bluntly, the head of the Bai family did not promise so many benefits because she was a member of the Bai family.

Instead, he was squeezing out the last bit of her value and only gave her some insignificant care symbolically.

"Mingxue, don't go out these days, and concentrate on preparing for the monster hunting conference next month."

"This conference is unusual. His Royal Highness the Third Prince will come to observe. Leave a good impression on him."

The head of the Bai family instructed.

Since he had already accepted the arrangement of fate, Bai Mingxue simply did not refuse.

"If you need anything, just look for uncle, and uncle will satisfy you." The head of the Bai family said.

"Uncle, although I have agreed, I still believe that my father did nothing wrong back then." Bai Mingxue raised his eyes and said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, the smile on the face of the head of the Bai family disappeared visibly, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes.

"Enough!"

"Mingxue, don't mention the past!"

"If it weren't for your father, how could my Bai family..."

The head of the Bai family closed his mouth halfway through his words, turned around and left angrily.

"Is it really all my father's fault that the Bai family has fallen to this point?"

"You just want to find an outlet to vent..."

Bai Mingxue murmured.

She looked a little sad, but then she was replaced by determination.

She wanted to become stronger and put an end to everything that happened back then!

"Sister Mingxue!"

"You are finally back. I was so worried about you that I couldn't even eat or drink~~"

At this time, another figure walked quickly, and his concerned voice could be heard from a distance.

The man was dressed in a white robe, with an upright posture and a tough face. At first glance, he was a very decent guy.

"Sister Mingxue, I wonder if you have found the Bi Xin Ya?"

"I... uh, Xiao Qing still needs it to treat her illness, please give it to me quickly!!"

Bai Zhan, the eldest son of the second branch of the Bai family, is the most powerful person in the younger generation of the Bai family except Bai Mingxue.

At this moment, Bai Mingxue, who knew the truth, saw Bai Zhan's warm smile, but felt that it was extremely hypocritical, just as hypocritical as the head of the Bai family.

She said coldly: "Sorry, I didn't find the whereabouts of the Bi Xin Ya."

"What!"

"This shouldn't be!"

Bai Zhan's face suddenly sank, and the smile just now disappeared, and his attitude suddenly became a little cold.

"Brother Bai Zhan, please go back quickly, I will think of other ways to treat Xiao Qing's illness." Bai Mingxue didn't want to say anything more to the Bai family, and issued an order to expel them.

Bai Zhan stared at Bai Mingxue's face, trying to find any trace of lying.

"Mingxue, don't lie to me. The green heart bud needs a special formula to work. If you give it directly to Xiaoqing, it will have no effect."

"Take it out quickly!!"

Bai Zhan was not giving up and said half-threateningly.

"I really didn't find the green heart bud." Bai Mingxue said coldly.

Then she closed the gate and ignored Bai Zhan.

Looking at the closed gate, Bai Zhan's expression was particularly gloomy.

"Fuck!"

"With this bitch's concern for her sister, she wouldn't come back without the Bi Xin Ya, and her attitude wouldn't be like this..."

"Could it be that she already knows that the Bi Xin Ya has no healing effect?!"

"That shouldn't be the case..."

At this moment, Bai Zhan completely removed his disguise.

He kicked Bai Mingxue's courtyard door unwillingly.

"Damn it, without the Bi Xin Ya, I'm not sure I can swallow the Blood Fire Pill!!"

"Without the Blood Fire Pill, it will take me at least two months to break through to the fourth rank..."

"This bitch must have done it on purpose, wasting my acting time for so long!"

Bai Zhan left angrily.

All his words were heard by Bai Mingxue.

"Haha, it seems that what Da Hu said is right..."

Bai Mingxue's heart was dead.

The friendship between the same clan was not as real as the monster she just met.

She has completely lost hope in the Bai family now.

"Bai Mingxue, you have to keep working hard!"

"Xiao Qing is still waiting for you to save her!!"

Bai Mingxue said to herself.
