Jing Tian'ao's gaze darkened, frost gathering in his eyes, just as he was about to erupt, the sudden sound of a coy, affected voice echoed from one side of the courtyard.
"Prince Ping, you came at the right time! Hui Ting has seen the prince, please help Hui Ting!" As Hui Ting's voice fell, a stunning Pink-Clad Young Lady squeezed out from behind her.
The Pink-Clad Young Lady was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Upon seeing Jing Tian'ao, her eyes instantly lit up, staring at him with infatuation, unable to look away for a long time.
Huxin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qing Yan. Qing Yan was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered in Huxin's ear, "Miss, you rarely concern yourself with the Xia Family's affairs, so you might not be very familiar with the Fifth Young Lady. This is the Fifth Young Lady, Xia Jinzhi, born of the Second Aunt."
"Oh. Just another pitiful woman infatuated with someone who has poor eyesight." Huxin scoffed, her voice not loud, but Jing Tian'ao heard it clearly.
The poor eyesight naturally referred to him. Huxin used Jing Tian'ao's earlier comment about her acting to provoke him, but Jing Tian'ao could only listen without being able to retort.
Xuan Yuan Ling listened nearby, amused, his fiery red attire paired with a rebellious smile. In the entire Vast Continent, only he could maintain such a carefree demeanor even if the sky were to fall.
After Hui Ting appeared, she shot a fierce glare at Huxin but when she saw Xuan Yuan Ling standing beside Huxin, her body trembled. She obediently moved to the other side, not daring to approach Xuan Yuan Ling even a step. It was as if Xuan Yuan Ling radiated electricity; getting too close would ignite disaster.
Xia Jinzhi also followed Hui Ting and stood by Jing Tian'ao's side.
Seeing that Hui Ting and Xia Jinzhi had also appeared, Huxin noticed several indistinct figures swaying outside the front hall—clearly the minor concubines of the family who had come to see the spectacle now that Jing Tian'ao and Xia Yingba had returned. They were all waiting to witness today's drama.
Huxin estimated that she wouldn't be able to sleep well after this. These women were restless; it was likely that before she even entered the courtyard, someone would follow her in. Rather than sleep poorly now, it would be better to deal with those who might cause trouble today before returning for a good night's rest.
Since Xia Yingba had arrived at the door, why not go greet him? It would be a good opportunity to clarify the relationships within the Xia Family in front of so many neighbors and onlookers—whether they were friends or foes would all be revealed one by one!
“Qing Yan, lead the way. Welcome at the main entrance!” Huxin changed her previously lazy and indifferent attitude, her clear eyes suddenly bright like a spring, and the confidence in her gaze burned painfully in Jing Tian'ao's pupils.
“Xia Huxin, you—” Hui Ting originally wanted to use her recent appearance to become the focus of Jing Tian'ao's attention, at least to strike at Xia Huxin. However, she never expected that Huxin would completely ignore her, and even Jing Tian'ao's gaze remained on Huxin from beginning to end. Hui Ting glared at Huxin resentfully, while Xia Jinzhi beside her gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling Hui Ting that this was not the time to be angry; the main event was yet to come.
Huxin coldly glanced at Hui Ting and Golden Branch before turning to walk towards the front hall. Xuan Yuan Ling followed closely by her side, smiling but silent. Having witnessed her courage and abilities today, he wondered what surprise this girl would bring him next.
Jing Tian'ao's eyes were calm yet filled with a chilling intensity as he stepped forward alongside Huxin toward the main entrance.
As Huxin, Xuan Yuan Ling, and Jing Tian'ao appeared at the Xia Family's main entrance, the local townsfolk who had come to catch a glimpse of Liu Yuren and Xia Yingba were met with a variety of curious expressions upon seeing the three of them.
