Li Xiaobai looked indifferent, casting a lofty gaze upon Situ Renjie.

"Young Master Situ might not know that the Zhang Family is a haven for filth and corruption, often killing cultivators and causing widespread resentment.

Hence, I took it upon myself to clean up on behalf of the Situ Household,"
