Emerging from the women's restroom, Bai Zhuo and Yang Liu exchanged knowing glances, choosing to remain silent about what had just transpired. Bai Zhuo appeared relatively unbothered, aside from a slightly awkward gait; his expression was as calm as ever. In contrast, Yang Liu, the epitome of a lady, was flushed with embarrassment, her cheeks still rosy and seemingly intensifying.
In the banquet hall, only Miao Long, Yang's Father, and Yang's Mother remained. Yang Qilin maintained his usual stern demeanor, greeting Bai Zhuo with little more than a nod. Yang's Mother wore a forced smile, and Bai Zhuo could clearly sense her dissatisfaction towards him. Fortunately, it was Yang Qilin who held the authority in the Yang household.
Yang Qilin spoke up, "Bai Zhuo, I trust Yang Liu has informed you about tonight's arrangements. As for matters concerning young people like you two, I won't interfere. Whether my daughter likes you or Leng Xuanhe is entirely up to her. However," he paused, lowering his voice ominously, "if you play both sides and harm my daughter..."
"Dad! What are you saying?" Yang Liu interjected playfully. "Bai Zhuo would never be that kind of person!"
Yang Qilin's words were cut off by Yang Liu's interruption, leaving him exasperated as he shook his head with a sigh. "My daughter has grown up and is siding with outsiders... Fine, some things you can manage on your own. Your Sunshine Electric business is doing well, but don’t let it interfere with your studies. Remember, you are still just a student."
"I know, Dad!" Yang Liu said as she linked her arm through his and pouted sweetly. "I know you're the one who loves me the most." With that, she planted a kiss on Yang Qilin's cheek and then on her mother's cheek as well. "And you too, Mom!"
"Alright, alright, enough of that," Yang Qilin chuckled. Perhaps it was only when faced with his daughter that he showed such rare warmth. "Let Bai Zhuo take you home; your mother and I have some matters to attend to and will be back later."
Unable to bear the strange gaze from Yang Liu's mother any longer, Bai Zhuo hurriedly agreed and lifted the drowsy Miao Long onto his back while pulling Yang Liu along as they left.
As they drove away, Bai Zhuo feigned nonchalance and asked casually, "Yang Liu, do you think I'm handsome?"
Without much thought, Yang Liu blushed and replied, "Um, you're okay. You look pretty good without your glasses; otherwise... otherwise I wouldn't have asked for your help."
Bai Zhuo joked back, "Haha, I think you're quite pretty too; we might make a decent match. How about we just get married?"
"What do you mean by forcing it?" Yang Liu angrily slapped Bai Zhuo's thigh and said, "There are enough people chasing after me to line up from Ning University to the Ningjiang Bridge! Do I really need to force myself to match with you? If you want to marry me, then come and pursue me properly! Otherwise, there's no chance!"
Bai Zhuo fell silent immediately. If this had been during his blind date with Zhang Ni, he would have launched an attack on Yang Liu without hesitation, because at that time, he had not yet fallen into the web of emotions woven by Ouyang Shirei, nor had he met Miao Qi and Ge Shui Lian. But now, he hesitated.
Seeing Bai Zhuo's reaction, Yang Liu felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes as she murmured, "All men are the same; they love to take everything without responsibility..."
Hearing Yang Liu's self-talk, Bai Zhuo felt bitter as well. He wanted to treat someone wholeheartedly; if possible, Yang Liu would indeed be a good choice. But in reality, he couldn't let go of Ouyang Shirei, Miao Qi, or even Kagura Aoi and Cao Yu. Was Fan Jun's fortune-telling really coming true?
The two remained silent as Bai Zhuo safely delivered Yang Liu to Liangye Villa Area before saying goodbye and leaving.
On the way home, Bai Zhuo felt restless. As soon as he reached the entrance of Bai Family Courtyard, before the car had even come to a stop, he heard a commotion coming from his yard. At first, he thought it was Kagura Keiha causing trouble again. However, upon hearing Kagura Aoi's cries of pain, he realized something was wrong.
Bai Zhuo hurriedly kicked open the door and was shocked by the scene before him! Kagura Aoi's hands were pinned to the door with long nails made of yellow paper, her face covered in blood and displaying an expression of agony; Kagura Keiha had a wooden sword pierced through his right shoulder but still stood strong in front of Kagura Aoi; Su Meiniang and An Zhi Xi were supporting each other as they sat on the ground, completely lacking the demeanor of Millennium Ghost Immortal; even worse was White Peach—her entire peach tree seemed scorched by fierce fire, Spirit Peach lay under the tree on the verge of death, her body becoming transparent as if she could vanish from this world at any moment; Crimson Bird lay motionless on the ground, with only slight movements indicating that he was still alive.
In the yard stood a figure in a black robe wearing sunglasses who turned around and smiled eerily upon seeing Bai Zhuo.
Bai Zhuo's anger surged. Since Ouyang Shirei had been bullied, he hadn't felt this angry before. This scene reignited his ferocity. Knowing that his aim with a gun was not precise enough and fearing that he might accidentally harm Kagura Keiha and Kagura Aoi, Bai Zhuo's eyes flashed red, green, and gold—especially noticeable in the darkness. He flicked his hands and two Black Talismans appeared between his fingers as he quickly recited incantations.
"Earth is boundless; Borrowing Method transforms heaven and earth! Displacement divine fire; Urgent Command!" Bai Zhuo shouted angrily as he threw the Li Fire Talismans: "Burn, burn, burn! Supreme True Lord; Urgent Command!" With his incantation, two black Fire Separation Talismans ignited in midair—one transformed into a skull while the other morphed into a divine Fire Qilin. Both seemed to roar continuously as they shot towards the figure in black.
The figure in black was shocked by Bai Zhuo's spell but appeared unfazed. Calmly removing his sunglasses and closing his eyes made it impossible to guess what he intended to do. It wasn't until the two blazing flames approached him that he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Bai Zhuo witnessed a chilling scene unfold before him.
In the darkness of the night, two flames flickered before the figure in the black robe, illuminating his face. It was an ordinary face, yet within his wide-open eyes glimmered a pair of pupils that shone with an eerie glow.
He was the Dual-Eyed Man!
"What a fine location, yet you've turned it into a haunted ground..." The Dual-Eyed Man revealed a blatant greed as he chuckled darkly. "Bai Zhuo, you can rest easy. I will take good care of these female ghosts and your Japanese woman!"
"You're asking for death!"
Bai Zhuo roared, but from a distance, An Zhi Xi shouted, "Focus on his Ritual Demon!"
"Haha! Too late!"
