Because she didn’t feel that joining the Immortal Sect was anything to be ashamed of; in fact, joining the Immortal Sect was the best decision she had ever made.
Bainian Hanshan coldly said, "No need to say much, the Sect Leader will pretend as if I never had a daughter..."
Then Bainian Hanshan turned to ask Bu Ling, "Old Bu, have you carefully studied the challengers?"
Bu Ling replied, "Studied, their power is average, and there’s a high chance of victory."
Bainian Hanshan said, "Be thorough... she may not be promising, but my Hidden Dragon Sect’s reputation must be preserved."
Having said this, he walked away.
Bainian Xiang watched her father’s departing figure, wanting to speak but refraining.
Thinking to herself: Since you think I am not promising, I will prove it to you!
When she returned home from East Lake, the master had anticipated this outcome and also knew her father would react this way. Because the master understood her father very well. That’s why she had never told him about joining the Immortal Sect.
The original plan was to prove herself before talking about the Immortal Sect.
Now that her father found out early.
It’s no problem.
Bu Ling sighed and also left, but stopped at the door and suddenly said, "Xiang, this time you’ve really disappointed your father. Do you realize your actions would bring so much ridicule to your father from the Xia Family and cause the Hidden Dragon Sect to be mocked by many forces?"
Bainian Xiang replied, "Mock? What qualifies them to mock?"
Mock the Immortal Sect for being weak?
Haha.
The Immortal Sect’s strength far exceeds that of all the Four-star Giant Influences!
Bu Ling saw Bainian Xiang’s lack of remorse, his expression reflecting deeper disappointment.
Soon it was afternoon, and Bainian Xiang and her companions arrived at the Secret Realm as planned for the upcoming challenge.
Bainian Hanshan did not choose to watch the fight closely but instead went to the Floating Island, finding a distant spot. Because good news doesn’t go out but bad news travels fast; Bainian Hanshan was certain the Xia Family would come to mock.
However, hiding far couldn’t help.
The Xia Family still came.
Xiahou brought several elders and sat not far from Bainian Hanshan, provocatively greeting him.
Bainian Hanshan ignored it, getting up and ready to leave.
Xiahou laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, Bainian Xiang is certainly a good girl. Her talent isn’t great, yet she messily entered a sect, making our Grand Sect Leader’s face look as bad as having lost a dozen White Crystal Ores."
Seeing Bainian Hanshan still wanting to leave, Xiahou added, "Go ahead, go ahead... now the Hidden Dragon Sect can only hide from our Xia Family."
"If worthless talk could harm, Xiahou, you would have killed me a thousand times over," Bainian Hanshan retorted, returning to his seat.
Leaving?
Doing so would be admitting cowardice, such a disgrace!
Staying here, treating Xiahou as mere air.
Then all members of the Hidden Dragon Sect followed Bainian Hanshan’s example, ignoring the Xia Family members completely and disregarding whatever the Xia Family was saying next.
At this point, the Xia Family said whatever could disgust their opponents.
The Hidden Dragon Sect had anger in their hearts, but couldn’t vent it.
The Xia Family saw Bainian Hanshan behaving like a log, showing a strange smile.
They knew Bainian Hanshan was deeply troubled inside.
Next, they would let Bainian Hanshan experience even more distress.
"Hanshan, let me tell you something. The team challenging your little girl includes members of the Xia Family. Similarly, they’re cultivated based on your Hidden Dragon Sect’s Sword Technique, perfectly countering the current Realm."
Saying this, Xiahou laughed loudly.
Bainian Hanshan’s eyes froze, but his first reaction wasn’t looking at Xiahou, it was looking at Bu Ling beside him!
Yet another trap set by the Xia Family?
