I only listen to the words of the Lord!

The group of Black Ming approached after hearing the commotion outside. "Miss Han, before the Young Master left, he instructed us to let the friends of the Lady enter directly," Black Ming said.

Blackwood nodded upon seeing the arrival of Black Ming and the others. They were all undercover guards of the Young Master and followed his orders exclusively.

Seeing Black Ming and the others, Han Xiling's expression changed. She had no idea that Black Ming and the others were stationed there. This meant that they had witnessed her entering the palace earlier.

The realization made Han Xiling's face even more unpleasant. It seemed that the Young Master's actions were meant to guard against her.

Seeing the amused expressions on the faces of Xia Zhiqing and the others, Han Xiling's cold gaze flashed. She immediately spoke, "I don't know anything about what you're saying. Regardless, as long as the Young Master is not here, no one else can enter."

Blackwood furrowed his brow. Han Xiling had not been this obstinate in the past. Before Blackwood could finish speaking, Han Xiling interrupted, "If you think I'm wrong, I can bring the Four Hall Masters to make a judgment."

Upon witnessing Han Xiling's resolute attitude, Blackwood and Black Ming exchanged glances, realizing that the situation had become difficult.

As undercover guards of the Young Master, they were aware of his circumstances. Among the Four Hall Masters, two were opposed to the Young Master.

Moreover, once this matter escalated, it wouldn't be a good outcome. After all, the Young Master had brought back the Lady earlier, and now he had invited the Lady's friends as well. While it might not have been a big deal initially, it could turn into a problem if someone took advantage of the situation.

Han Xiling crossed her arms, her expression proud and her gaze cold. She dared to challenge them, even though they were just a few undercover guards. She wanted to see who was more formidable.

Xia Zhiqing and the others exchanged glances. They hadn't anticipated encountering such a situation. They were not familiar with the circumstances of Tian Gang Sect, but they could tell from the expressions of Blackwood and the others that the situation wasn't easily resolved.

Meanwhile, Bai Li Hongzhuang was cultivating in the stone chamber when Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out, "Master, there's some commotion outside."

Hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang opened her eyes. "What's happening?"

"Xia Zhiqing and the others have arrived, but it seems like there's a dispute. Shall we go out and take a look?"

Xiao Hei scratched its head. Its spiritual power was quite strong, so even from a distance, it could sense the commotion. However, the isolation effect of the stone chamber was also significant, so it could only grasp the general situation.

Knowing that Xia Zhiqing had arrived, Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes brightened. However, upon learning about the dispute, she furrowed her brow.

It seemed that Xia Zhiqing and the others had returned before Beichen Xichen. Bai Li Hongzhuang could already surmise the general situation, and she could hardly think of anyone besides Han Xiling who would cause trouble in such a situation.

After all, while Xiao Hongzhuang and Jiang Yi targeted Beichen Xichen, they wouldn't go out of their way to provoke her.
