She had originally hoped to quickly resolve these complicated matters so that they could focus on their cultivation. However, she had not anticipated that her actions would attract covetous attention.

Fortunately, the Bai family did not harbor such intentions. It seemed that it was only this young master, Bai Ruiguang, who had his own agenda.

Gu Chaoyan had no intention of getting involved with him.

She said coldly, “There’s no need.”

“I exchanged something valuable for two courtyards from the Bai family. It was a transaction, and once a mutually agreed transaction is completed, no one owes anyone anything. That’s how morality and rules work. I believe Young Master Bai, you, understand this. If there are any ambiguities in the transaction, it will undermine the principles of fairness and order”

“There’s no need to trouble your Bai family for help.”

“There’s no need to trouble your Bai family for assistance. I have already informed the head of your family that your involvement in the affairs of these two courtyards is unnecessary. If any minor issues arise in the future, we will handle them ourselves. There’s no need to trouble you, Young Master Bai.”

“If there’s nothing else, Young Master Bai, please.”

“Zimo and Ziming are still focused on their cultivation, so they may not have time to entertain you,” Gu Chaoyan stated coldly, firmly keeping Bai Ruiguang at a distance.

Bai Ruiguang cleared his throat lightly, attempting to conceal his embarrassment. He had initially expected some room for negotiation when Gu Chaoyan mentioned leaving leeway, but he had not anticipated such a thorough rejection.

This was the first time he found himself in such a predicament. He couldn’t understand why she had extended so much help to Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming while keeping her distance from him. Bai Ruiguang believed that the assistance he could provide far surpassed what the two brothers could offer. It was perplexing to him.

Despite the awkwardness, Bai Ruiguang decided to stand up. As the young master of the Bai family, he understood the art of navigating social situations, knowing when to push forward and when to retreat.

“Since you don’t currently require any assistance, I shall return to focus on my cultivation. Although the transaction is complete, we are now neighbors. If you ever find yourself in need, you can come to the Bai family and seek help from Ruiguang,” he offered, leaving some room for future interaction.

However, he did not linger any longer. Bai Ruiguang stood up and prepared to take his leave.

Gu Chaoyan furrowed her brow as she took a sip of tea. Sword One accompanied Bai Ruiguang on his way out.

Upon his return, Sword One still appeared perplexed. “Earlier, the head of the Bai family seemed afraid that we would cause trouble for them again. But this young master of the Bai family came over, trying to help in every way possible. I truly don’t understand what is going on with the Bai family.”

Gu Chaoyan replied calmly, “It’s just greed. Initially, I feared that Brother Wu would cling to the Bai family, and I wanted to ensure I didn’t break my promise. However, now I realize that I desire more. It’s simply human nature.”

“Sword One, don’t cultivate for the next two days. Watch the yard.”

“Although this world operates on the principle of the strong preying on the weak, as long as the four of us advance in strength, no one will dare to make things difficult for us. However, growing up in a prominent family like the Bai Clan means we can’t simply abandon those relationships overnight. Even if some individuals approach us with ill intentions, let’s not sever our ties abruptly. It would only make their lives difficult within the Bai Clan. We will eventually depart from here, and Zuo is currently dealing with some troubles during this period,” Gu Chaoyan explained to Sword One, conveying her perspective.

Sword One comprehended her words and understood her intentions.

She knew her role and what needed to be done.

Meanwhile, in a room within another courtyard, Wu Zimo had just awakened and was preparing to step out when he overheard Gu Chaoyan’s conversation with Sword One..
