After speaking, he turned to Bai Zhan, waiting for him to make a decision.
Bai Zhan's expression grew increasingly grim as he coldly replied, "Let me see."
He approached the front of the audience, trying to reason with a few people, but they were unyielding. If it weren't for the fact that these individuals were from the government and not easily dealt with, he would have taken care of them long ago.
Bai Zhan could only suppress his frustration and found a way to contact Sheng Yanzhou, beginning his apology. On the phone, he humbly admitted to his lack of strictness in educating his daughter and expressed regret for not managing the situation properly, which had caused them trouble. He hoped Sheng Yanzhou would cease the development at Baiyun Mountain.
Sheng Yanzhou's tone was cold and hard; it was clear he didn't take Bai Zhan seriously. Bai Zhan could only continue to apologize and promised to send a generous gift as a token of his sincerity.
At that moment, Sheng Yanzhou looked at Ruan Fuxi, asking for her opinion. Ruan Fuxi curled her lips into a smile and shook her head. She had no interest in anything sent by the Bai Mountain faction. Besides, she had seen plenty of valuable things; she wasn't impressed at all. She simply enjoyed watching the desperate antics of those from Bai Mountain.
Seeing her reaction, Sheng Yanzhou's expression turned stern as he said, "This concerns the interests of the group; it's not a personal matter. It doesn't help to talk to me about it." With that, he hung up decisively.
Ruan Fuxi gave him a thumbs-up, praising his performance. Sheng Yanzhou smiled happily in response.
After being hung up on, Bai Zhan's eyes were cold enough to kill. What did it mean that it was useless to talk to him? This matter was solely Sheng Yanzhou acting on his own accord to vent for Ruan Fuxi—a command given by one person alone. He and Ruan Fuxi were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself!
Bai Zhan was constantly urged to vacate the premises; with no other options available, he reluctantly informed those from Bai Mountain about the situation and was forced to leave Baiyun Mountain.
Due to this incident, Bai Zhan could clearly sense the dissatisfaction among the members of the sect towards him. They even claimed that he, as the acting sect leader, was useless and had let the sect down.
Bai Zhan didn't need to think twice; such remarks were undoubtedly spread by those families who had clashed with the Ruan and Bai families. They had always suspected the causes of death for the Ruan and Bai families, keeping a close watch on him for years. If it weren't for their ruthless actions against the Ruan and Bai families, which resulted in their complete annihilation, and the fact that such large-scale deaths in recent years would raise suspicions among others, he would have long since used these people as fodder for himself.
Moreover, without the sect leader's token in his possession, his authority as the acting leader was inherently lacking. At least those families who had maintained good relations with the Ruan and Bai families had been doubting him all these years.
At this moment, Bai Zhan's hatred towards Sheng Yanzhou and Ruan Fuxi reached its peak. He would never allow them to have an easy time. Before he drained their spiritual energy, he would ensure that they suffered torment and pain, only to meet a tragic end afterward.
After being forced to relocate, the members of Bai Shan Sect could only search for a new place to settle while preparing for the upcoming internal exchange conference of the Xuanmen. Days passed, and the conference began as scheduled.
Ruan Fuxi brought along Gui Gui and Xuan Ye, arriving in Kaiyang City with Sheng Yanzhou. The venue for the exchange conference was located on a mountain outside of Kaiyang City.
The group gathered on a flat area of the mountain where Ruan Fuxi met Zhou Yi and Master Qian Bi Yang. After greeting them, she stood beside Master Gao Li at the research institute with Sheng Yanzhou. He was the chief judge for this event.
Seeing Ruan Fuxi and Sheng Yanzhou, Gao Li was evidently pleased. After exchanging a few words, Ruan Fuxi scanned her surroundings and noticed many young talents from Xuanmen, as well as some practitioners with considerable cultivation.
Her gaze then shifted elsewhere, and upon spotting one particular individual, Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
