Upon witnessing this scene, Yan Lingxuan and the others had complex expressions.
The current situation was entirely a result of Jidi'er's own actions. Previously, Bai Li Hongzhuang had clearly not wanted to escalate the situation. As long as Jidi'er had lowered her head, everything would have been resolved.
But Jidi'er refused and brought herself to this pitiful state.
However, the sudden shift from Bai Li Hongzhuang's previous disadvantage to her current dominance sent a chill down their spines.
"This Bai Li Hongzhuang is definitely not a simple character. It's better not to offend her if we can avoid it," Yan Lingxuan said, his voice filled with apprehension.
Lin Xirou's eyes flickered with insight. Until now, they didn't know whether the poison was administered by Bai Li Hongzhuang or someone else, but Bai Li Hongzhuang's methods were unquestionably formidable.
"She is highly intelligent. Among all of us, her strength is the weakest, yet she has everything under her control. It's no surprise that Jidi'er fell into her hands," Huangfu Huahua nodded in agreement.
Yan Lingxuan shrank his neck, grateful that Jidi'er served as the test stone. Otherwise, if he had offended Bai Li Hongzhuang, his situation probably wouldn't be any better than Jidi'er's.
This inexplicable turn of events was chilling. He hadn't forgotten Bai Li Hongzhuang's indifferent smile when the Jidi family members had drawn their swords against her.
Even with Emperor Beichen's relationship, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained composed in a way that was terrifying.
"That was before. Now, I have no intention of intervening," Bai Li Hongzhuang's voice was cold, and her phoenix-like eyes flickered with a resolute and icy light, leaving no room for hope.
Jidi'er felt her strength dwindling, and a sense of despair enveloped her. Initially, she had been skeptical and didn't truly believe that she would die. However, now she had no doubt.
"I beg you, I won't oppose you anymore! Please, save me!" Jidi'er cried.
The Jidi family cultivators also pleaded, "Miss Baili, please save our young lady. We will remember this favor and will never refuse if you need our help in the future!"
With these words, the expressions of the people present changed once again. A favor from the Jidi family was an extraordinary thing compared to all the treasures they had offered before. It far surpassed them.
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo couldn't help but wear looks of disbelief. The situation had changed too quickly, making it hard for them to accept.
"Baili Hongzhuang's methods truly astound me," Lu Huaiyan sighed with emotion. They had been completely led around by Baili Hongzhuang before, and this time, she had truly gained an advantage.
"Prince Di, please help our young lady out of consideration for the years of acquaintance between you and our Miss," Lu Huaiyan requested.
After contemplating for a moment, Emperor Beichen walked over to Bai Li Hongzhuang's side and blinked at her from an angle where others couldn't see, indicating that his purpose had been achieved and she could take action now.
"Wife, I've known Jidi'er for many years. Please lend a hand," Emperor Beichen spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang looked deeply at Emperor Beichen, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, before nodding. "Very well."
Jidi'er's eyes lit up with excitement, and the Jidi family cultivators heaved a sigh of relief. At least Jidi'er's life wouldn't be lost.
"Thank you, thank you," Jidi'er, devoid of any stubbornness at this moment, began to express her gratitude.
