Bai Suzhen's beautiful eyes flickered; her benefactor seemed rather mysterious.
Qin Feng suddenly spoke up, "Bai Gu Niang, do you have a way to return to the upper realm?"
Bai Suzhen was taken aback and instinctively touched her wrist.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow; on her wrist was a white bracelet that clearly wasn't an ordinary item. "How did you know?"
Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to hide the truth.
Qin Feng was stunned; he hadn't expected Bai Suzhen to actually admit it. "Do you really have a way?"
She nodded and raised her wrist. "This is a treasure given to me by my master; it can take me back."
Xiao Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you have a master? How impressive is she?"
Bai Suzhen shot Xiao Qing a glare. "Xiao Qing, don’t speak carelessly. My master is a Great Being; just mentioning her name will resonate with her."
Xiao Qing quickly covered her mouth, astonished. "So powerful?"
Qin Feng was also taken aback. A Great Being? That implied at least Golden Immortal level strength. He glanced at Bai Suzhen, realizing she had quite the background.
Bai Suzhen continued slowly, "However, this bracelet can only take me away alone; it's not that significant." She sighed and added, "Moreover, my master said I must understand cause and effect before I can activate the bracelet to return; right now, it’s just a decoration." After saying this, she cast a complicated glance at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng blinked, naturally catching her meaning—she needed to understand cause and effect with him first. He felt a bit uneasy; surely she didn't mean she wanted to marry him? Although Bai Suzhen was beautiful, he wasn't in that mindset at all. This realm clearly wouldn't last long; he needed to leave quickly—there was no time for romance. Hadn't he seen how little time he and Nie Xiaoqian had to develop their feelings?
Coughing lightly, he said, "Well then, I wish Bai Gu Niang could understand cause and effect soon."
Xiao Qing interjected unhappily, "My sister is just with you—"
Bai Suzhen directly interrupted Xiao Qing's words.
Xiao Qing suddenly closed her mouth, looking at Bai Suzhen in confusion. Wasn't this a good opportunity to tell Qin Feng? Why had she stopped speaking?
Bai Suzhen simply shook her head at Xiao Qing.
With a sigh of resignation, Xiao Qing felt helpless.
Qin Feng cast a guilty glance at Nie Xiaoqian, only to find her staring at Bai Suzhen with a look of puzzlement.
Qin Feng rubbed his nose, pondering how to change the subject when suddenly his face lit up; the timing couldn't be better.
A loud thud echoed through the courtyard.
Everyone sat up straight, and Xiao Qing shouted angrily, "Who is it?"
Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Wan'er had already flown out, circling around them.
A smile crept onto Qin Feng's lips; his mount had arrived.
Wei Han stood in the courtyard, looking at the group in the pavilion before finally fixing his gaze on Qin Feng.
"You must be Qin Feng?" Wei Han assessed him for a moment before speaking slowly.
Qin Feng looked back at Wei Han and smiled, nodding. "That's right, you must be Wei Han."
"Did he tell you?" Wei Han was taken aback, his eyes flickering. Had he notified Qin Feng so quickly?
Qin Feng nodded again. "Yes."
Wei Han took a deep breath. Given the circumstances, there wasn't much else to say. "I'm here to be your mount."
With that, a flash of light enveloped him, and a tall Black Mountain Steed appeared in place.
Qin Feng looked at the Black Stallion with satisfaction; it was indeed impressive, transformed from a Jiao Long into such a magnificent creature.
Bai Suzhen stared in shock at the Black Stallion. She could tell that it was indeed a Jiao Long, now serving as Qin Feng's mount.
She turned sharply to look at Qin Feng.
