Bai Xuening was momentarily stunned when she heard Bai Mengmeng's question but quickly responded, "Wingman refers to a type of aircraft that protects the fighter jet during a mission, commonly known as the fighter's assistant!"

After explaining, Bai Xuening turned to look at Bai Mengmeng, asking with some curiosity, "What's up? Why do you suddenly bring up wingmen?"

"Hm? Oh! It's nothing, just asking casually."

Now that she understood the meaning of wingman, Bai Mengmeng realized that when Hu Xiaobei had said he planned to make her his wingman, he meant he wanted her to help him pursue her mother...

After that became clear, Bai Mengmeng naturally couldn't continue to discuss much more with her mother, as she felt that a qualified wingman shouldn't divulge too much information...

At this moment, Bai Xuening focused all her attention on Hu Xiaobei, so she didn't notice her daughter's emotional change; otherwise, she would have definitely been able to pick up on some clues...

On the battlefield...

By now, everyone apart from Hu Xiaobei and those four from the Xie Family had retreated a great distance,

Those who had fallen back knew that this was truly a clash of masters.

If they were implicated in such a situation, it would indeed be disastrous.

The Bai Family believed Hu Xiaobei could achieve the final victory.

The Shao Family, on the other hand, believed the four from the Xie Family would emerge victorious.

Therefore, they couldn't help but eagerly anticipate the outcome.

"Stick to the old plan!"

As these three words were shouted out, the four individuals exchanged glances and quickly began forming hand seals with the speed of the wind.

In an instant, a wild wind completely surrounded Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei hadn't even had time to react!

Rocks began to appear around him layer by layer.

Very quickly, these swiftly appearing massive boulders completely buried Hu Xiaobei.

Oh my!

Bai Mengmeng and the others watched this scene unfold and became utterly panicked.

Because these suddenly appearing boulders seemed too intimidating...

...

"We did it!"

Contrary to Bai Mengmeng and the others' panic, Shao He and his group were extremely excited!

Earlier, they had felt assured that the four from the Xie Family would be victorious.

But seeing them achieve victory with such ease still brought them to the brink of elation.

"This Hu Xiaobei seemed quite formidable, but in reality, he's just so-so!"

"That's right, he seems to have absolutely no resistance against our Array!"

"Exactly."

The four from the Xie Family saw the complete stillness ahead and their lips curled into a cold smile.

Previously, they had thought Hu Xiaobei was very impressive.

Now, after coming into contact with him, they realized they might have overestimated him earlier.

Far from as formidable as they had imagined.

As the four were thinking this, they heard hurried footsteps.

Instinctively turning their heads, they saw Shao He approaching quickly with a face brimming with thrill.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, they heard Shao He's urgent voice in their ears.

"How is it? How is it? Is it done now?"

Hearing such eager questioning, they furrowed their brows in slight annoyance!

Promptly, they responded impatiently!

"Of course, it's done. Our Array has been used many times over the years and has never failed! Even the most powerful Array Masters trapped inside would need several hours to recover, so you can go ahead and take care of the Bai Family now."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Hearing such confident responses, Shao He laughed!

The next second, his gaze turned coldly towards Bai Xuening.

Quickly, Shao He sneered, "Oh my, Bai Family Head, why do you look so troubled, is something on your mind?"

Shao He was in high spirits at this moment.

Previously, he had been played by Bai Xuening and Hu Xiaobei.

But now, he had taken his complete revenge...

This utter retaliation had brought his mood to its peak...

Bai Xuening heard Shao He's jeering...

She looked at him expressionlessly a few times,

She was very calm now because she did not believe Hu Xiaobei had been defeated.

So she knew she did not need to panic now, but just needed to wait for Hu Xiaobei's triumphant return!

It irritated him!

Shao He felt very annoyed after being ignored like this.

In his view, he had firmly taken the upper hand, so Bai Xuening should be kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, and repenting her previous mistakes.

But she was not acting this way, which frustrated him beyond measure.

...

"Family Head, why even waste words with him now? We should just charge over and wipe out the entire Bai Family!" someone exclaimed.

"Exactly! Just give the order, Family Head," another agreed.

"Yes, we're all waiting," others chimed in.

All the Shao Family's youngsters were excitedly volunteering at this moment.

They knew they had an absolute advantage now, so they could truly take revenge.

Hearing his subordinates' fervent eagerness, Shao He furrowed his brows slightly.

Honestly, he did not want to exterminate the Bai Family until the last moment.

Because he knew the toll such fighting would take on the whole family...

It would be manageable under normal circumstances, but not now, with the Xie Family lying in wait, definitely not such a reckless expenditure...

Therefore, if he could take control of the entire Bai Family without bloodshed, that would be best.

Having clarified this point, Shao He raised his hand...

After stopping the young men, Shao He spoke in a deep voice, "A wise man submits to circumstances! You should clearly see the situation by now, so if you don't want the Bai Family to bleed rivers, you should just surrender to me."

When Bai Xuening heard Shao He's unrelenting persuasion, she frowned, "Save your energy! Our Bai Family will never submit!"

With that, Bai Xuening glanced at the elders standing behind her and spoke softly, "You all feel the same, don't you?"

Hearing Bai Xuening's question, most nodded. They were prepared to share the Bai Family's fate!

But some started to have other thoughts.

Seeing the disunity among some with Bai Xuening, Shao He smiled.

Soon, he said, "Your Family Head obviously doesn't understand the times. Under these circumstances, failing to do so would be like pushing you all into a pit of fire. None of you want to die, right? So, I think you all should do something now!"

Those with wavering thoughts hesitated upon hearing this persuasion...

They all had their own ideas, but nobody dared to be the first to speak up.

"It seems we're just one step away from closing the door," Shao He thought to himself. Then he said, "Once our Shao Family takes down the Bai Family this time, I won't be able to manage things here, as there's still much to do for the Shao Family. Therefore, I'll need a few people who know a great deal about the Bai Family to take care of everything for me."

Temptation!

Upon hearing this promise, a few of the elders behind Bai Xuening were completely tempted...

From the beginning, their avarice made them want full control over the Bai Family.

It was for this reason they had been willing to collude with the Shao Family previously.

But then, they had been deceived by the Shao Family,

And this made them despise the Shao Family deeply...

Now, as the Shao Family seemed to be showing sincerity, they were tempted once again...

Seeing them swayed, Shao He continued, "I know you have hesitations, but you don't really have many choices now! I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you agree, stand by my side. If not, upon my command, the Bai Family will bleed rivers, and you and your stubborn family can go to death together!"
