165: Entrust

Bai Qiqi, thinking of the previous events, looked thoughtful. "As expected, this Shangguan Sichen is definitely not as simple as he appears!"

She murmured softly, then turned to look at Bai Wanling, who was drunk and unconscious, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Silly daughter, you really have fallen for someone you shouldn't have!"

Wasn't today's event a deliberate attempt by Nangong Yu and the other person to reveal something?

Taking off their masks, revealing their true appearance!

Although it seemed like they were letting down their guard, wasn't it also a display of immense strength and fearlessness?

Furthermore, the intoxicating clear wind wine and the Spiritual Food contained terrifying energy that ordinary people simply couldn't withstand.

Bai Wanling was unconscious after just four cups, and Bai Qiqi herself felt seven parts drunk after only nine cups—this was telling.

And what was the result?

She, a Peak Calamity Destruction Realm expert, was seven parts drunk, and Nangong Ruoxue, a Spirit Venerable Realm expert, was three parts drunk, yet Shangguan Sichen looked completely unaffected!

Since they had made it so obvious, how could she still be confused?

Their feeling at the time was indeed correct; that look in Shangguan Sichen's eyes was truly not simple!

Or perhaps, Shangguan Sichen's true strength might be even more terrifying than Han Xue's!

Was it truly a good thing for her own daughter to fall for such a person?

She didn't know!

Bai Qiqi shook her head slightly, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she looked at her daughter.

"Is it an Inner Demon Tribulation? Or a fated romance?"

Bai Qiqi bit her red lip, finally sighed, and took out a Sobriety Pill for Bai Wanling to consume.

Before long, Bai Wanling slowly woke up, opening her eyes in confusion.

She shook her head and looked at Bai Qiqi, asking, "Mother, where are we?"

Bai Qiqi sat beside her, embracing her and asking, "Wanling, do you like Shangguan Sichen?"

Bai Wanling's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head without speaking.

Seeing this, Bai Qiqi couldn't help but shake her head slightly. "He is too outstanding. If you like him, you will eventually get hurt."

Hearing this, Bai Wanling's eyes dimmed slightly, and she whispered, "Yes, Young Master Si Chen is too outstanding. I'm afraid I'm not good enough for him!"

"You..."

Bai Qiqi was speechless. Was that what she meant? Was Bai Qiqi's daughter so inadequate?

Before Bai Qiqi could think further, Bai Wanling looked up, gritting her teeth, and said, "Mother, I want to follow Sister Han and the others for a while, considering it a period of external training. Is that alright?"

"Have you... thought this through?"

Bai Qiqi's expression was complicated. Part of her didn't want Bai Wanling to go out and interact with Shangguan Sichen, but she also feared that this affection might truly turn into an Inner Demon Tribulation.

"Wanling has thought it through. Wanling will follow them for a period, and if it's not suitable, Wanling will withdraw herself!"

Bai Wanling said with a determined expression, "But if I give up without even trying, Wanling fears she will regret it for the rest of her life!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi smiled bitterly internally, thinking: *Silly girl, when it comes to feelings, how easy is it to withdraw yourself?*

Although she thought this, she didn't refuse. She nodded slightly and smiled, "Go ahead and do it. Mother supports you!"

"Thank you, Mother!"

Bai Wanling looked delighted, hugging her mother tightly like a little girl unaware of the world.

Bai Qiqi stroked her beautiful hair, but her gaze was fixed in the direction of the Side Courtyard, thinking: *Shangguan Sichen, don't let me down!*

...The next day, early morning.

When Bai Qiqi arrived outside the Side Courtyard, Nangong Yu and the other person happened to walk out.

Bai Qiqi stepped forward, cupped her hands, and bowed. "Fellow Daoists, did you rest well last night?"

Nangong Yu returned the greeting with a smile. "Very well. Fellow Daoist Bai, you must be going to the Seven Emotions Secret Realm with us today, right?"

Bai Qiqi shook her head, smiling wryly. "Fellow Daoist Shangguan knows my situation. My Dao Heart suffered some damage and hasn't healed yet. I dare not enter the Seven Emotions Secret Realm."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded understandingly. "Then thank you, Senior, for coming to see us off!"

"You're welcome!"

Bai Qiqi shook her head slightly, then glanced at Bai Wanling behind her, and said, "Fellow Daoists, I want to ask a favor of you two. Would that be possible?"

Nangong Yu paused slightly, then smiled. "Please speak, Fellow Daoist Bai. If it is within our capabilities, we certainly won't refuse!"

Nangong Ruoxue stood beside Nangong Yu, glanced at Bai Wanling, and looked thoughtful.

As expected!

Bai Qiqi smiled and said, "It's nothing difficult. It's just that my little girl, Wanling, wishes to accompany you two on external training for a while. Would that be possible?"

Hearing this, Bai Wanling's heart tightened, and she looked at Nangong Yu with anticipation.

Nangong Yu and Nangong Ruoxue exchanged glances. The latter nodded gently, and Nangong Yu replied, "Fellow Daoist Bai, please rest assured. We will certainly take good care of Wanling."

Hearing this, Bai Wanling was overjoyed. She quickly stepped forward and curtsied to the two of them. "Wanling thanks Young Master Si Chen and Sister Han. Please take good care of me from now on."

"Don't be polite!"

Nangong Ruoxue smiled slightly, having no intention of rejecting her.

Nangong Yu smiled. "Since that's settled, let's head to the Seven Emotions Secret Realm now!"

"Alright!"

The group nodded and left the Spirit Fox Tribe Land. Bai Qiqi stopped and said, "I'll see you off here. Please help me take good care of Wanling."

"Fellow Daoist Bai, we will certainly do our best with your request. When Wanling wishes to return, we will surely bring her back to you completely unharmed!"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, then took out five bottles of intoxicating clear wind and handed them over. "Fellow Daoist Bai, this is the intoxicating clear wind I promised you yesterday. Please don't despise it."

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi's expression brightened slightly, but she declined, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, isn't this too much?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's fine. I brewed it myself, and I have as much as I want. Fellow Daoist Bai, please don't be polite!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi smiled. "Then Qiqi will accept it without being overly modest. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan!"

Saying this, she accepted the five bottles of intoxicating clear wind and looked at Bai Wanling, saying, "Wanling, when you follow Fellow Daoist Shangguan and the others from now on, you must be obedient and not cause trouble, understand?"

"I understand, Mother!"

Bai Wanling nodded quickly, glancing at Nangong Yu out of the corner of her eye, her earlobes involuntarily turning slightly red.

Just then, the purple light soaring into the sky in the distance suddenly trembled, then transformed into countless purple light spots, instantly dissipating into the horizon.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu cupped his hands and said, "The Seven Emotions Secret Realm has opened. I plan to go explore inside. Fellow Daoist Bai, we won't chat any longer!"

"Alright, be careful on your way!"

Bai Qiqi quickly cupped her hands and said.

"Farewell!"

Nangong Yu and the other person slightly cupped their hands and quickly departed with Bai Wanling.

Bai Qiqi watched the retreating figures of the three people and couldn't help but murmur, "Wanling, I hope that when I see you again, what you've experienced is a fated romance, not an Inner Demon Tribulation!"

After saying that, she turned and walked into the Spirit Fox Tribe Land... At the Secret Realm Portal of the Seven Emotions Secret Realm.

When the three of Nangong Yu arrived, many people had already entered the Seven Emotions Secret Realm.

But at this moment, Nangong Yu saw something unknown, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
