Once, I wanted to be a good person

At the same time, when Fang Ze divided his forces into three and left the Provincial Government.

Bai Family Manor, the villa where Bai Zhi lived.

Bai Zhi changed out of her usual teal noble attire and put on a pair of close-fitting, spirited clothes. Her hair was also tied up, making her appear less elegant but more spirited compared to her usual self.

After dressing up, Bai Zhi looked down to check the package she had packed two days ago, then slung it over her back, picked up a long sword, and headed outside.

However, just as she reached the main hall of the manor and before she could step out, a voice suddenly called from behind, "Zhi."

Hearing that voice, Bai Zhi turned around and saw Lady Jin walking hurriedly towards her. She couldn't help but stop, then holding the sword, asked, "What's wrong, Lady Jin?"

Lady Jin looked at her outfit and asked, "Are you... planning to help Fang Ze?"

Bai Zhi nodded.

Lady Jin shook her head helplessly and asked, "Do you know where Fang Ze departed from?"

Bai Zhi stated confidently, "I don't know."

"But... can't I just wait for him in Yun City?"

"He's bound to go to Yun City."

"If anything happens to him on the way, I can catch up then."

Lady Jin shook her head again and said, "He departed from the Spirit Realm. Even if there's an ambush, the battle would only occur in the Spirit Realm. Without reaching the Spirit Ascension level, you can't go to the Spirit Realm on your own."

Upon hearing Lady Jin's words, Bai Zhi seemed to have expected them. She replied, "It's okay. I've already made arrangements with Rou. She's at the Spirit Ascension level; she'll take me to the Spirit Realm and to Fang Ze's side."

Lady Jin:.....

Looking at this love-struck woman before her, Lady Jin was momentarily speechless. She sincerely said, "The Spirit Realm is so dangerous. Even at the Spirit Ascension level, one can only protect oneself. You won't be able to help Fang Ze much if you go."

Bai Zhi seemed to have made up her mind long ago. She said, "But I can't just stay at the Provincial Government and wait! As a girlfriend, how can I hide in the back and ignore it when my boyfriend is in danger?"

Probably anticipating Bai Zhi's answer based on her personality, Lady Jin slowly said, "You aren't ignoring it. Or rather, our family isn't ignoring it."

"Your dad took people and followed Fang Ze shortly after he left. They will protect your ideal suitor."

"As for you...." At this, Lady Jin said, "Don't create more trouble. You have another task."

Hearing that her father had already gone to help, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. But upon hearing she also had a task, her curiosity piqued, "I have a task too? What task?"

Lady Jin said, "Go to see your uncle."

"Uncle?" When Bai Zhi heard this term, she was first stunned, then showed a resistant expression on her face, saying expressionlessly, "Why should I go see that person?"

Seeing her demeanor, Lady Jin comforted, "This came from your grandfather's instructions."

When she heard it was for Fang Ze, Bai Zhi became even more puzzled. She said, "Why does grandfather want me to see him?"

"Their Galan family has always looked down on us. Since my mother's passing, they've blamed everything on us and severed relations."

"And because they have the Absolute Pinnacle demigod, they dominate Tuoya Prefecture, making it hard for even the Federation to intervene, thus they care even less about our attitude."

Saying this, Bai Zhi whispered, "If they had focused their arrogance on investigating my mother and brother's attack back then, the case might have been solved by now."

Over the years, Lady Jin clearly knew of Bai Zhi's grievances. Upon hearing Bai Zhi's complaints, she walked over, gently hugged Bai Zhi, and consoled her, "Okay, stop complaining."

"It's not like I'm asking you to beg them, just to meet briefly."

"No matter what method you use, as long as you can meet, the task is considered complete. You can turn and leave immediately after, if you wish."

Bai Zhi, seeing Lady Jin speaking like this, hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "You're not lying? Dad really went to save Fang Ze?"

Lady Jin nodded sincerely.

Bai Zhi, seeing this, finally nodded slightly. Then she said, "Then I'll go change clothes and visit my uncle."

Lady Jin touched her hair, saying, "Go ahead."

Bai Zhi nodded, carrying her sword and package, heading back to her villa.

However, just as she left the villa's main hall doorway, Lady Jin's biological daughter, the ordinary girl Fang Ze had met last time, suddenly stopped her, "Sis."

Seeing her half-sister from the same father, Bai Zhi couldn't help but pause her steps.

Due to Lady Jin's influence, the two had a good relationship. So seeing her sister, Bai Zhi's gaze softened, and she asked, "What's wrong? Maimai."

The girl approached, gently taking her hand, then said, "After meeting the Galan family, come back quickly. And, take care when you go."

Hearing her sister's strange words, Bai Zhi frowned slightly. She wanted to ask further about what it meant, but just then, Lady Jin's voice called in the distance, "Maimai! What are you doing there? Maimai!"

Hearing Lady Jin's call, the girl nodded to Bai Zhi, then released her hand, lifted her skirt hem, and quickly ran in the direction of the voice, "Mom, I'm here."
