For a while, he came to his senses and said, "Am I seeing things? Isn't that person looking a lot like Bai Xuening?"

"I wish you were seeing things. But the reality is, you're not seeing things, she... she is Bai Xuening!"

While they were muttering in bewilderment, Hu Xiaobei, Bai Xuening, and Bai Yan walked over together.

Although they still couldn't figure out what exactly was happening, they knew that they had to find a way to stop them from proceeding, as that was their task.

After coming to this realization, the two exchanged a glance.

Quickly, they both stepped forward in unison!

"Family Head, welcome back!"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing their words, Bai Xuening cut straight to the chase without any nonsense, "Step aside! I need to go inside right now!"

They exchanged looks upon hearing Bai Xuening's icy command, their faces showing how troubled they were...

"We... we can't do that!"

"That's right!"

They knew their task was to block Bai Xuening and not let her in.

So, no matter what, there was absolutely no way they could step aside now!

Otherwise, later on, they would really have no way to explain themselves to the elders in the family...

Bai Yan frowned and coldly said upon their refusal, "You can't do it? What do you mean by that? Are you trying to rebel?"

They exchanged looks again when they heard Bai Yan's chilly question, and quickly, they nonchalantly replied!

"Rebel? You're exaggerating a bit too much!"

"Yeah! Besides, there's something you might not know yet. Previously, after a collective vote by the Elder Council, Bai Xuening's position as Family Head was revoked. So now, if she wants to enter the family gates, she must have the consent of the Elder Council!"

Bai Yan roared in response to their statement, "Revoked? You're spouting nonsense!"

Seeing that Bai Yan didn't believe them, they quickly said, "We're telling the truth, her position as Family Head was really revoked before!"

"You're just talking rubbish, you..."

When Bai Yan looked like he would continue arguing with them, Bai Xuening interjected firmly, "Enough, no need for any more useless talk. I'll ask one more time: are you stepping aside or not?"

Bai Xuening knew that continuing the argument here was playing right into their hands, so she had immediately spoken up to stop it!

When they heard Bai Xuening's solemn command, they reluctantly said, "As much as we'd like to step aside, we simply can't!"

They were clear that since they had already sided with the Elder Council, they had to stand their ground...

So naturally, they couldn't possibly agree to let them in now, otherwise, they would be the ones to suffer!

"Fine, I understand! Then I'll just have to make you move using my own methods!"

Having said that, Bai Xuening turned to look at Hu Xiaobei...

Subsequently, she said softly, "Xiaobei, I really have no other options now, I can only ask for your help once more!"

Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly upon hearing Bai Xuening's plea...

Just a moment ago, he truly thought she had some clever plan.

Only now did he realize her "plan" was to have him help...

After rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei looked at the two men with an indifferent expression on his face!

At this point, they both took notice of Hu Xiaobei...

After carefully observing him for a moment, they wore mocking expressions...

There was no other choice!

Hu Xiaobei looked so ordinary that they really didn't take him seriously...

"It seems they're looking down on me!"

Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself and then addressed them softly, "Move aside, we need to get through here!"

When they heard Hu Xiaobei's words, they curled their lips and replied, "Move aside? Sorry, we can't!"

"That's right!"

"Since we can't come to an agreement, then I'll just have to go with Plan B!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei suddenly vanished...

They didn't take Hu Xiaobei seriously when he mentioned using Plan B...

In their minds, even if he resorted to Plan Z, it would be useless...

However, they soon realized that wasn't the case because Hu Xiaobei had completely disappeared...

...

"Xiaobei, you really never disappoint!"

Bai Xuening excitedly muttered to herself as Hu Xiaobei vanished.

Previously, being directly blocked by the two men, Bai Xuening knew the situation was more serious than she had anticipated.

She recognized that not even a second's delay could be afforded now.

So, she knew she had to deal with these two men as quickly as possible.

She was aware that if she took action herself, it might not be quick because they knew her too well and would guard against her poison!

Therefore, she thought of asking Hu Xiaobei for assistance.

Initially, she had just wanted to give it a try!

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaobei immediately agreed without hesitation, and promptly began to take action.

"He couldn't have just vanished, this... this must be an illusion!"

"That's right, normally speaking, how could anyone move that fast? This isn't a magic trick!"

They muttered to each other, unable to locate Hu Xiaobei...

Soon, they felt every hair on their bodies stand on end!

"Seems like there's something behind us!"

With that thought, they instinctively turned around, and the next second, they were overcome with numbness!

Because after they turned, they saw Hu Xiaobei smiling at them.

Just what were they about to do?

Suddenly, they saw Hu Xiaobei raise his hand...

"This..."

Before they could say anything, they felt a sharp pain in their necks...

Shortly after, they completely lost consciousness...

After the two of them passed out, Hu Xiaobei lifted his head and looked at Bai Xuening.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei apologised with some regret, "Sorry about that, I may have been a bit too forceful just now. They're probably going to need a good sleep."

"No worries! They really do need a good sleep so they can reflect properly on their actions!"

Bai Xuening said, and Hu Xiaobei nodded.

Soon, the three of them quickly headed toward the Bai Family's main hall.

At this moment, inside the majestic main hall, all the members of the Bai Family were split into two groups.

One group was numerous, while the other had relatively fewer people...

The reason one side had more people was that it comprised many elders...

These elders were the members of the Bai Family Elder Council; they were the ones who had unilaterally revoked Bai Xuening's position as Family Head...

Now, with so many of them gathered here, their purpose was simple: to take Bai Xuening's daughter away...

They all knew that Bai Xuening's daughter was a burden due to her frail health, so they had to send her away as soon as possible, otherwise, the entire family would be utterly dragged down...
