Planned Torture

While Xiao Ming and Bai Qing hurried toward the Mystic Snow Pavilion, their steps quick with anticipation, a subtle scheme was brewing behind their backs.

Unbeknownst to them, the meeting they were rushing toward was not just a simple introduction but a carefully orchestrated plan designed to test—and perhaps humiliate—Xiao Ming.

On a small hill near the Bai Clan's Ancestral Residence, a breathtaking scene unfolded. The hill, known as Earth Mountain, was a sacred place within the Bai Clan's territory, reserved for those of high status and power.

Its peak offered a panoramic view of the sprawling clan grounds, and today, it was graced by the presence of a figure whose beauty could only be described as otherworldly.

Standing at the summit was a young lady adorned in azure martial robes, her attire perfectly complementing her ethereal presence. Her boots, a dazzling white, seemed to glow faintly under the sunlight, adding to her radiant aura.
