"Brother Xuan, you're back?"
"Have all the matters been handled?"
At the entrance of the Baili family mansion, two figures, a man and a woman, stood quietly by the door.
They waited until a taxi drove up in the distance and stopped outside the manor.
As a handsome young man stepped out of the taxi.
The girl among the two figures then walked forward with a look of joy.
Approaching the man who had just alighted from the taxi.
She asked about the situation with a well-behaved expression!
And this girl was none other than Lu Ling'er, who had been waiting here ever since Zhou Xuan left in the morning, eagerly anticipating his return.
During this time, many members of the Baili family had come to persuade her to wait inside.
But Lu Ling'er had politely refused them all!
In the end, the Baili family had no choice but to send Baili Lie to accompany Lu Ling'er while she waited.
Otherwise, they feared that when Zhou Xuan returned, he would see this scene.
And assume that their Baili family had deliberately mistreated his woman.
"Ling'er?"
"Why are you standing outside the door?"
"You've been waiting here all this time?"
"Didn't I tell you, I was just going out to handle some things!"
"I'll be back soon!"
"You silly girl, it's so cold out here!"
"If you catch a chill, then I'll be the one to worry!"
Looking at Lu Ling'er, who stood before him with a well-behaved expression.
Zhou Xuan put on a slightly stern face.
It wasn't that Zhou Xuan was unappreciative, but he truly cared about Lu Ling'er.
He knew that this silly girl used to do this when she was at the Lu family.
Waiting by the roadside for him to come home.
Now that she had come to Shangjing City, she still hadn't changed this habit.
Having someone who constantly cared and missed you waiting at the doorstep for your return.
It was indeed a heartwarming thing.
However, Zhou Xuan did not wish for Lu Ling'er to continue doing this.
Firstly, it was now winter.
It was indeed very cold outside, and Zhou Xuan worried that this silly girl would always stand outside.
If she were to catch a cold, then he would truly be distressed beyond words.
Secondly, this was Shangjing City.
This was not comparable to Cangyun City, where Zhou Xuan was confident in his ability to resolve any issue that arose.
Especially after hearing Huang Youwei's words, Zhou Xuan felt even more that Shangjing was not a place of peace.
And Lu Ling'er was so beautiful. If she were to stay outside for too long.
It was hard to say whether it would attract the covetous glances of some lawless scoundrels.
Although this was on Baili family territory.
He reckoned that ordinary ruffians would not dare to cause trouble here.
But what if they encountered trouble that even the Baili family couldn't resolve?
Moreover, Zhou Xuan had only just begun to subdue the Baili family.
He felt that their loyalty was still questionable.
That was why he put on this pretense of displeasure.
Hoping to scare Lu Ling'er into not waiting for him like this anymore.
But unfortunately, Lu Ling'er, who knew Zhou Xuan's personality well.
Was clearly not going to be easily intimidated by him.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's slightly stern expression, Lu Ling'er not only showed no fear.
Instead, she pouted dismissively.
She took a step forward and threw herself into Zhou Xuan's arms.
"Hmph!"
"Why didn't you take me with you when you went out to handle things!"
"And you didn't even tell me what you were going to do!"
"Aren't I waiting here because I'm worried about you!"
"And you're scolding me!"
"I, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
As she spoke, Lu Ling'er began to sob on Zhou Xuan's chest.
She looked as if she had suffered great injustice.
And seeing Lu Ling'er like this.
Zhou Xuan's stern expression immediately melted away.
He quickly patted Lu Ling'er's back and began to comfort her softly.
Baili Lie, who had witnessed the entire process from the side.
At this moment, he sincerely gave a thumbs-up in his heart to his "Madam."
Lu Ling'er's series of actions had truly captured Zhou Xuan completely.
His master, Zhou Xuan, in front of Lu Ling'er, the "Madam."
Was simply powerless to resist.
This further solidified Baili Lie's thought that he must not offend Lu Ling'er.
After all, in his opinion, if he offended Zhou Xuan.
There might still be a chance for redemption.
But if he offended Lu Ling'er.
Then he would probably be not far from death.
After all, he hadn't forgotten that his grandfather had only retorted to Lu Ling'er a couple of times.
And was then beaten into such a swollen state by Zhou Xuan!
Therefore, seeing that Zhou Xuan had finally managed to appease Lu Ling'er.
Baili Lie, with great perceptiveness, beckoned to a servant beside him.
Ordering him to quickly have someone prepare hot meals and hot water.
So that Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er could enjoy a hot bath and warm themselves up after entering the house.
And then have some hot food to warm their bodies.
After instructing the servant, Baili Lie prepared to step forward.
To invite the two of them to enter the house.
But just then, accompanied by the sound of car engines.
More than ten luxury cars suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Baili family.
Interrupting Baili Lie's actions and the intimate moment between Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er.
"Heh heh!"
"It really took me a while to find you!"
"Kid, so you're with the Baili family!"
"But it makes me a bit puzzled!"
"Your Baili family is at best a third-rate force in this Shangjing City!"
"On what basis do you dare to oppose me?"
"You enjoyed beating me up quite a bit back then, didn't you!"
"I said, after I get home!"
"I will definitely not let you off!"
"What do you think, have you seen the strength of our Sun family now?"
"However, it's too late even if you want to beg for mercy today!"
"I will make you, and the Baili family behind you!"
"Disappear from Shangjing City from now on!"
"And let those outside who have no eyes see clearly!"
"What happens when you offend the Sun family, and offend me, Sun Zhibiao!"
After the dozens of cars stopped, before Zhou Xuan and the other two could react.
They saw a slightly familiar, chubby figure descend from the leading car.
Before the person even arrived, their usual infuriating voice reached the ears of the three of them!
Looking at Sun Zhibiao, who was being helped out of the car.
And then looking at the more than a dozen men in formal attire who alighted from the cars behind him.
Zhou Xuan's brows slowly furrowed.
Because in his perception, all these dozen or so men were cultivators.
The lowest cultivation base was at the peak of Qi Refining.
And that wasn't the most crucial point. The most crucial point was that among these cultivators.
Zhou Xuan actually sensed five auras comparable to Baili Yuntian.
This meant that among the people Sun Zhibiao brought.
There were actually five experts at the Creation Realm.
It seemed that Sun Zhibiao had gone to great lengths to get his revenge!
