On the road, Hu Xiaobei learned a lot about Bai Xuening's family from her.

He also learned that Bai Xuening was now the Clan Leader of her family!

As a woman, when she became the Clan Leader, she faced a lot of skepticism!

But after she took her position, she did very well and gradually earned everyone's trust!

In this way, her prestige steadily grew higher and higher...

Originally, this situation could have continued.

But then, Bai Xuening's daughter fell ill...

After discovering the problem, Bai Xuening did everything she could to treat her child...

However, congenital heart disease is really expensive to treat, so gradually, it caused dissatisfaction among many of the older generation in the family.

Many people began to advise Bai Xuening to give up on her daughter!

But Bai Xuening refused, which offended the entire family, and that's why there was such an urgent situation before...

After hearing all the reasons, Hu Xiaobei gently nodded his head!

Hu Xiaobei knew this was actually quite normal!

For a massive family like the Bai Family, there were many in the younger generation!

All the younger generation wanted the best resources, so they were always in crazy competition with each other...

Under these circumstances, they were very dissatisfied to see Bai Xuening using a vast amount of resources to save her own daughter, in their eyes, those resources belonged to them...

...

"This time going for a consultation is tricky!"

Thinking about Bai Xuening's family's complex relationships, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose in slight frustration.

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had known her family must be complicated...

Now, Hu Xiaobei was sure of it.

He knew the waters here were very deep.

"Thank goodness I can swim, or else I'd really drown this time."

After murmuring to himself, Hu Xiaobei relaxed and began to rest with his eyes closed...

...

An hour later, the car began to slow down...

Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes; he knew they must have arrived.

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head, and soon, he was surprised.

Because he found the car driving through dense woods.

"Xiaobei, don't be surprised! We hidden families generally don't appear in the public eye. So, to avoid being discovered, we build our homes in rather remote places as much as possible!"

"Is that so!"

Hearing Bai Xuening's explanation, Hu Xiaobei nodded in understanding and smiled easily!

Hu Xiaobei had seen a lot, so he wasn't really scared!

He just became more curious about her family.

Just as he was about to ask something, a sudden screech of brakes sounded!

"Have we arrived?"

Curious, Hu Xiaobei looked ahead!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei heard Bai Yan, who was driving, speak urgently, "Family Head, there's a problem, I... I can't find the way back anymore!"

As he explained, Bai Yan was frustrated because he was certain that he had truly lost the way...

Bai Xuening heard Bai Yan speak with frustration and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Soon, Bai Xuening spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, "What exactly is going on? You've traveled this road many times before, haven't you? How could you get lost?"

To prevent outsiders from discovering her family, Bai Xuening had previously had someone set up an Array here...

This Array could cause ordinary people to lose their way when they reached this point...

But it wasn't enough to make Bai Yan lose his way, because Bai Yan knew the correct path.

Upon hearing Bai Xuening's question, filled with astonishment, Bai Yan slightly embarrassingly whispered, "Family Head, this path, I really have walked many times before, so I know how the Array is arranged. But now the Array has been tampered with by someone else."

As Bai Yan explained, he looked again at the mountains and forests ahead...

He was certain that the Array here had been modified...

He knew that if the Array had not been modified, he could find his way back even with his eyes closed.

But now, he simply couldn't.

There was only one possibility, the Array here had been forcibly altered by someone else before...

Hearing Bai Yan's frustrated explanation, Bai Xuening's expression sank to the extreme!

"It seems that some people do not wish for me to return to the family clan!"

Bai Xuening was no fool; she understood that those people altered the Array precisely because they didn't want her to return too quickly.

Clearly, they were worried that her quick return would ruin their scheme!

"What a thorough plan! I estimate they haven't been planning this for just a day or two!"

After muttering to herself, she looked at Bai Yan and spoke with a grave voice, "Bai Yan, how long will it take for you to find a flaw in this Array and break it?"

Bai Yan hesitated upon hearing Bai Xuening's question, then spoke, "Family Head, this Array seems very complicated. I will need some time, at the very least two hours, and possibly even longer!"

Bai Yan wanted to show off in front of her, so he deliberately reduced the time. In reality, for him to solve this array, it would take more than a day.

Bai Xuening, upon hearing Bai Yan's response, fell silent.

She knew if it really took that long, the opportunity would be long gone.

"What to do? What should I do?"

At this moment of utter helplessness from Bai Xuening, she heard Hu Xiaobei's indifferent voice,

"Having trouble? Maybe I can lend a hand! I know a little bit about Arrays."

Stunned!

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's nonchalant remark, Bai Xuening was stunned.

So was Bai Yan, who was responsible for driving.

The next second, they both stared blankly at Hu Xiaobei.

Bai Xuening, the first to snap back to reality, took a deep breath and asked somewhat nervously, "Xiaobei, do you... do you really have a way?"

"Yeah, right, this Array is formidable! If you can't help, don't make empty promises and waste our time here," Bai Yan glanced at Hu Xiaobei and scoffed quickly and displeased...

From a young age, Bai Yan had studied various Arrays, so he had quite some insights into all kinds of Arrays!

Even so, he wouldn't dare claim he could easily solve this Array.

And now, this outsider who knew nothing claimed he could solve the problem, which angered him, prompting him to openly disdain...

Hearing Bai Yan's mockery, Bai Xuening furrowed her brows slightly and quickly commanded in a cold voice, "Shut your mouth!"

Bai Xuening knew quite a bit about Hu Xiaobei, so she was aware that Hu Xiaobei wasn't one to boast...

Feeling reprimanded by Bai Xuening, Bai Yan was quite annoyed!

Taking a deep breath, he growled in frustration, "Family Head, I'm speaking the absolute truth here, you must not be fooled by this trash! He claims he can unlock this Array, but in reality, he probably doesn't even know what an Array is!"

As Bai Yan yelled crazily, two elders were watching from the nearby forest.

They had altered the Array before!

The reason they modified the Array was precisely to prevent Bai Xuening from returning too soon!

They knew that if Bai Xuening returned early, it would truly disrupt their plans.

At that moment, the relatively younger of the two elders spoke,

"Old brother, how long do you reckon Bai Yan can take to break through our modified Array?"

Hearing the question, the elder sneered, "Break it? In this lifetime, that's probably impossible."

Hearing such disdain, he replied, "Old brother, don't be so pessimistic! Although Bai Yan is young, his expertise in Arrays is quite decent, so, I think he has a chance!"
