Chapter 141: Order the men to bring their gear and gather here

"Mm, I will practice diligently."

Baili Tianchang replied.

On this particular day within the Pacifying South General's Estate, Baili Jin and Baili Gui finally summoned the courage to step out of their chambers.

For the past few days, the two of them had cowered in their rooms like hiding tortoises, refusing to step out through either the inner or outer doors, entirely too mortified to face anyone.

Now, upon careful reflection, the events of that day felt rather bizarre.

Moreover, why had those terrifying rashes suddenly broken out all over their faces and bodies?

After pondering it over and over, they both concluded that this must surely be the doing of that good-for-nothing, ugly wretch, Baili Tianchang!

"That useless, hideous wretch has such a vicious mind! She is a monster herself, yet she actually wanted to make us look just like her!"

Having gone to great lengths to win Baili Jin's favor, Baili Gui now bitterly cursed Baili Tianchang on Baili Jin's behalf.

The harsher she cursed Baili Tianchang, the more satisfying she believed it would be for Baili Jin!

Consequently, Baili Gui deliberately selected the most venomous vocabulary to revile Baili Tianchang.

"What you say is true. That useless, ugly wretch spent ten years outside, and heaven knows what sinister, crooked arts she picked up. Though she has no cultivation base whatsoever, she is full of malicious tricks."

Baili Jin chimed in, nodding in agreement with Baili Gui's words.

"Then, Sister Jin, what should we do? Surely we aren't just going to let her off the hook like this?"

The more Baili Gui thought about it, the more resentful she felt.

If Baili Gui was unwilling to let it go, how could Baili Jin possibly let it go?

"Let her off? Hmph, how is that even possible?! As long as she draws breath in this lifetime, I will never let her off!"

"Does Sister Jin have a good idea, then?"

Baili Gui looked at Baili Jin with eyes full of anticipation.

"Today, Brother Guishan is not at home, and Father has also gone out. Hmph, isn't the entire estate my domain today? Gui, go ready yourself; today we can vent this monstrous grievance to our heart's content!"

"How does Sister Jin plan to vent this grievance?"

Baili Gui eagerly pressed on, once more gazing at Baili Jin with high expectations.

"Go, pass along my order. Tell all the estate's guards to grab their weapons and assemble right here."

A smug smile played across Baili Jin's face, while her eyes gleamed with pure malice.

"Alright. Gui will go arrange it right away."

Hearing Baili Jin's command, Baili Gui's mind began to race with wild, pleasant imaginations.

It seemed Sister Jin intended to beat that good-for-nothing Baili Tianchang to death!

Just the thought of it brought her immense gratification.

Therefore, Baili Gui scampered off in high spirits, running all the way to summon every single guard in the estate without missing a single one.

Before long, all the guards of the General's Estate, brandishing clubs, sabers, swords, and other weaponry, stood neatly aligned in straight rows before Baili Jin.

Within the General's Estate, Baili Jin was a greatly favored daughter.

At this moment, neither Baili Gang nor Baili Guishan was present, leaving only Madame Qian Yueshuan—Baili Jin's biological mother—behind as the mistress of the house.

As for the remaining concubines, every single one of them was thoroughly suppressed and cowed by Qian Yueshuan. At a time like this, wasn't the General's Estate completely under Baili Jin's rule?

Furthermore, the person Baili Jin wished to deal with was merely a useless, ugly outcast whom Baili Gang held no affection for. Even if they stirred up a heaven-shaking commotion, Baili Gang would simply turn a blind eye to it.

Thus, led by Baili Jin and Baili Gui, a menacing horde of guards, heavily armed, marched aggressively...
