Chapter 568: 225 This is her ruling area_2

The Bai family even expunged her from the clan genealogy.

Bai Lian knew their ancestry was ancient and the clan concept strong, but nowadays, any genealogy meant the same to Bai Lian; it was not as if they were living in a feudal era.

In the past, the genealogy was utilized to conveniently implicate nine generations.

“I won’t go,” Bai Lian refused without a second thought, “If you need something, you can find me.”

Even though it was summer vacation, Bai Lian was still very busy, with music theory knowledge alone being enough to keep her occupied.

Ji Shaojun had anticipated her response and was not surprised.

He hung up the phone, opened the door to the balcony to enter the living room, and told the butler about Bai Lian’s reply.

“She’s not coming?” The butler looked up in surprise but didn’t dwell on it; he continued to inquire without much concern, “What about the other one?”

The other one was Ren Wanxuan.

“Her? She should be on her way.” Ji Shaojun’s expression was much fainter when he mentioned Ren Wanxuan.

The butler wasn’t surprised by this pace, “Alright, I’ll let the old master know once she arrives.”

Old Master Mu had loosened up and allowed the two juniors to come over mainly because Ji Shaojun’s performance in the Mu Family had been quite satisfactory, and he was preparing to introduce him to the public.

To officially introduce Ji Shaojun to the Mu Family members.

Whether Bai Lian came or not wasn’t important.

Shanhai Apartment.

Bai Lian led Pu Xiaohan into the apartment.

As soon as Pu Xiaohan entered, she threw herself onto the sofa in the living room, which Xun Chun had bought; it was extremely soft and fitted Bai Lian’s casual and lazy temperament perfectly.

She buried her head in Jiang He’s cushion, which still had a faint scent of milk.

“Why does Brother Bird drink milk every day?” Pu Xiaohan lifted her head, set the cushion aside, and switched to a silk pillow.

Her gaze turned to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian walked to the small guest room next to the bedroom, opened the door, revealing a neatly made single bed in dark grey. She nodded towards Pu Xiaohan with her chin, “You’ll be staying here.”

Pu Xiaohan reached for the remote control on the coffee table and gestured an “ok” to Bai Lian.

She turned on the TV.

The screen lit up to the Jiangjing TV Station channel, showing episode 30 of “Great Yong”.

[An ashen-faced woman struggled to lean on the door frame, with a close-up shot focusing on her fingers gripping the frame tightly, knuckles white.

She was wearing a simple robe with a hint of color in her cheeks, plain garments with no adornments on her head, her eyes appearing scattered and black.

Her gaze was fixed to the north.

This was Bai Li’s wife.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a maid came in holding medicine, exclaiming with joy, “Madam, you can get out of bed now! Your complexion has improved greatly.”

She quickly set the tray down on the threshold, reaching to assist Mrs. Bai, “Why don’t you wear a few more layers of clothes…”

Before she could finish, Mrs. Bai’s body began to slide towards the ground slowly.

She didn’t speak, her gaze still fixed on the same direction, as the maid’s fingers tremblingly checked her breathing.

At the same moment, the scene switched to the Xiangcheng Battlefield.

It was Yan Lu’s scene; the camera moved from a distance to a close-up. She was clad in silver armor, her gaze sharp and cold like a soldier, gripping the reins and galloping towards the city wall, finally stopping in front of the tent, the horse rearing as she dismounted.

One shot to the end.]

Pu Xiaohan had already finished the series; watching this scene for the second time, it didn’t impact her as much.

But she still sniffled.

“Great Yong” had become an online sensation ever since it first aired, not only because of the production team but also due to the director’s casting choices.

When an entire crew uses real locations, no green screens, actors ride real horses without stunt doubles… everyone was working hard for this series. Actors had trained to professional levels in wielding long spears, with horse riding and archery skills also reaching professional standards.

What could be more moving than this?

The entire cast, from the maidservants to the horses, had become sensational, and netizens placed Yan Lu under an even deeper layer of profound admiration.

Pu Xiaohan got up, about to check the guest room, when she saw Bai Lian standing behind her, arms crossed over her chest, leaning on the desk as if watching TV.

But those dark eyes were unfocused.

Bai Lian had always been very strong in front of Pu Xiaohan.

The students of class fifteen had a kind of cohesion unmatched by other classes, with Bai Lian at their core. She understood the people in her class better than Lu Lingxi, from Pu Xiaohan to Zhang Shize to Yang Lin…

Their trust in Bai Lian had long exceeded that of anyone else.

Bai Lian was like a general commanding an army, poised and free.

This was the first time Pu Xiaohan saw such an expression on Bai Lian, as if she was cut off from this world, with an air of having no one behind her.

“Lian…” She instinctively took a couple of steps forward.

“Hmm?” Bai Lian came back to her senses, looking up at Pu Xiaohan, quickly reverting to her usual careless demeanor. She casually pulled a piece of paper from the table and handed it over, “Wipe your nose.”
