However, the situation Yue Ruilin had imagined did not occur. Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong remained indifferent, as if his status had no deterrent effect on them.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong's attitude, Yue Ruilin's smug expression faltered. These two weren't playing by the rules as he had expected.
The people around them had various reactions upon seeing Yue Ruilin's arrival, filled with fear and apprehension.
"Yue Seventh Young Master is stepping up for Ji Lexue. Those two are in trouble now."
"I heard that Yue Seventh Young Master has had his eyes on Ji Lexue for a while, but it seems she doesn't like him."
"Based on the current situation, it's impossible for them to enter the Yue family through this gathering."
...
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong.
Thinking about it, this whole situation was entirely provoked by Ji Lexue and the other two, but Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong's response was unexpected.
They thought that Ji Lexue and the others had no intention of retaliating. Now it seemed that the revenge was more severe than they had imagined.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong exchanged a glance, realizing that the situation had gone beyond their expectations.
If the other side insisted on taking their lives, they would have to find another way to enter the Yue family.
After all, there wasn't only one way to enter the Yue family.
Just as Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong were preparing to take action, Ji Lexue hurriedly walked to Yue Ruilin's side.
"Lexue, you're here."
Upon seeing Ji Lexue, Yue Ruilin's handsome face lit up with a smile.
"They were the ones who bullied you yesterday! Tell me, how do you want to deal with them? I'll definitely avenge you," Yue Ruilin said confidently.
In his family's territory, dealing with two people would be an easy task.
He saw it as a golden opportunity given to him by fate.
Ji Lexue's expression betrayed a hint of guilt and embarrassment when she saw Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong.
If possible, she really didn't want to see them again.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Ditian Cong looked at Ji Lexue with indifferent expressions, curious about how she planned to deal with them.
However, Ji Lexue's response once again surprised everyone.
"Master Yue, thank you for your kindness, but this matter is already settled. I hope you won't get further involved," Ji Lexue stated firmly. She would rather take the loss herself than allow the situation to escalate. Most importantly, she didn't want to owe Yue Ruilin any favors.
Upon hearing Ji Lexue's words, Yue Ruilin's expression changed slightly, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.
"Lexue, you don't have to be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you."
However, Ji Lexue stubbornly shook her head. "I haven't suffered any grievances, and I hope Master Yue won't concern yourself with this matter anymore."
"Master, what's going on with Ji Lexue now? She actually came forward and refused?" Little Hei's eyes were filled with confusion. It didn't match Ji Lexue's character from yesterday!
"I don't know what's happening either. There must be some other reason behind it," Bai Li Hongzhuang communicated through telepathy.
Nevertheless, since the situation had changed, she didn't mind watching how things would unfold.
She wanted to see what plans these two had in mind.
