Bai Fei'er composed herself and, alongside Bai Mo, flew on their swords towards the grand martial arena.
At this mont, the arena was in the midst of an intense battle.
On the stage, a man and a woman were each using their Daoist techniques, locked in a fierce struggle, with spiritual light bursting forth and waves of pressure emanating, making the fight extrely intense. The crowd around the stage was packed, shouting excitedly, their enthusiasm palpable.
Bai Fei'er knew both of them, and they happened to be the two people she disliked the most!
Among all her relatives in the Bai Family, the only two that truly irked her were her cousin Bai i, who was two-faced, acting one way in public and another in private. On the surface, she used to be a little follower who called her "Cousin Fei'er" at every turn, but behind the scenes, who knows how she tarnished Bai Fei'er's reputation.
Later, when Bai Fei'er exposed Bai i's hypocrisy, their relationship broke down. When Bai Fei'er was poisoned and her cultivation deteriorated, Bai i intensified her mockery, even orchestrating Bai Fei'er's "cheap sale" to the Mo Family by stirring up trouble behind the scenes!
As for the man, he was Bai Haoxuan, the most notorious among the younger generation of the Bai Family, causing nurous scandals that the family had to clean up. If not for his slight talent, the Bai Family would have long expelled such a disgraceful person.
Bai Fei'er and Bai Haoxuan also had deep-seated conflicts, because Bai Haoxuan had toyed with the feelings of a friend of hers, a young lady from another prestigious family, causing a huge scandal. Bai Fei'er never forgot about it.
Bai Haoxuan wielded a silver spear, while Bai i used a black mace. Both fought with impressive vigor and fierce montum, evenly matched.
"Heh, those two, even without , they managed to rank high in this clan's grand competition."
Bai Fei'er stood on her treasured sword, speaking with disdain.
Ordinarily, she rarely paid them any attention, as they were annoying people not worth bothering with.
But now, Bai Fei'er felt that using them to reestablish her authority within the Bai Family, settling both public and personal grievances, was more than appropriate.
"Miss, perhaps we should first et with the clan leader, there's no need to..."
Bai Mo, knowing her intentions, tried to persuade her, as Bai Fei'er's temper was not the best. If she wasn't careful, she might seriously injure Bai Haoxuan and Bai i...
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Bai Fei'er's tone was resolute.
But Bai Mo didn't feel reassured at all.
Know what she's doing?
If not for her "track record," Bai Mo might have believed her!
But as things stood, Bai Mo knew he couldn't stop Bai Fei'er.
As soon as they arrived, they felt a wave of gazes sweep over them, and the previously noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.
"Eh? Isn't that... Bai Fei'er?"
Their appearance imdiately drew attention, especially Bai Fei'er's stunning beauty, which was breathtaking. Her beauty was unrivaled in the Sunflare Empire, unforgettable to all who saw her.
"Is it her?"
"Wasn't she stripped of her cultivation and married off far away? How did she co back?"
"Tsk tsk, she must not know her place, thinking she could just marry off and still keep her arrogant nature."
"......"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, not without mockery, their eyes filled with ridicule and disdain, as if she were just a pitiful creature.
Bai Fei'er ignored the rumors, flying with Bai Mo to the grand martial arena, where she leaped down, landing steadily in the center.
Bai Haoxuan and Bai i had actually noticed Bai Fei'er earlier, but they ignored her, as they were in the heat of the clan's grand competition finals, too engrossed to care about the "discarded" one.
But as Bai Fei'er landed in the arena, they imdiately stopped their attacks and looked at her.
"Oh, isn't this Bai Fei'er? Why aren't you serving your husband properly, and instead running back to White Emperor City?"
Seeing her, Bai i's heart filled with renewed hatred, but rembering that Bai Fei'er had fallen from grace, she couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction, mockingly saying, "Are you dissatisfied with your husband not being handso and considerate enough, wanting to co back and ask the clan for another marriage?"
"Pfft—"
The surrounding relatives burst into laughter.
"Haha, Bai i really has a sharp tongue!"
"Hahaha... Who told her she's still not as pretty as Bai Fei'er."
The whispers grew louder, but Bai Fei'er, hearing them, simply glanced around the arena, not angered, but instead smiling, a smile that outshone all flowers, leaving many young n srized.
And Bai Fei'er indeed had the qualifications for such admiration, not only possessing peerless beauty but also a figure that was alluringly voluptuous where it should be and gracefully slender where it should be. Her white dress accentuated her ethereal, transcendent aura, making her seem like a celestial being, captivating many n's gazes.
Bai i was even more infuriated, as she herself was considered quite beautiful, but as long as Bai Fei'er was around, her own light was overshadowed, even if Bai Fei'er had beco a "discarded" one, she never had the chance to claim her rightful place.
Hatred born from envy among won can be profound.
Even though Bai Fei'er was now a "discarded" one, and Bai i had defeated several opponents in the clan's grand competition, with Bai Fei'er back, she was still the one overshadowed!
If not for the many people at the competition, including the clan leader, elders, and guests invited by the Bai Family, Bai i would have definitely marred Bai Fei'er's face!
"Even you two can make it to the finals of the clan's grand competition, it seems the Bai Family has no promising young talents left."
Bai Fei'er sneered, looking at Bai i, whose face quickly darkened.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Bai i retorted angrily.
"What? You don't dare admit it?" Bai Fei'er continued to provoke, stepping closer to the two, her every move exuding an elegant charm, like a high-born princess descending, enchanting all.
"If I hadn't left, you two would never have had the chance to compete for a pathetic first place here, right?"
"Hmph, a re 'discarded' one dares to spout such nonsense!"
Bai Haoxuan slamd his silver spear into the ground, pointing its tip at Bai Fei'er: "You've lost your cultivation, no matter why you're back, this clan's grand competition is not for a 'discarded' one like you! Get out!"
Bai Fei'er narrowed her eyes slightly, her indifferent gaze sweeping over Bai Haoxuan: "Discarded? Are you talking about ?"
"That's right, you're a 'discarded' one, your cultivation has probably regressed to the Qi Refining stage, hasn't it? If you're not a 'discarded' one, then what are we, unparalleled geniuses?"
"Exactly!"
Bai i glared at her, swinging her black mace: "You've lost your cultivation, yet you still dream of making a splash in the clan's grand competition? I advise you to give up early, this competition is for selecting the clan's elites, not for 'discarded' ones like you to show off."
"Hahaha..."
Bai Fei'er suddenly laughed.

These two really couldn't see that not only had she recovered her cultivation, but she had advanced further!
Thanks to the weapon spirit of the treasured sword given by Senior Gu, which helped her conceal her true energy fluctuations, even if her father stood before her, he wouldn't be able to detect her cultivation if she didn't want him to!
Moreover, these two hadn't even stepped into the Elental Infant stage!
In the Sunflare Empire, there were indeed a few prodigies who could rival her, though rare, those people had all reached the Elental Infant stage. Compared to them, these two fighting for the competition's first place were utterly diocre!
"This clan's grand competition is a crucial event for the Bai Family, unrelated individuals, leave the stage imdiately!"
At this mont, the elder acting as the judge finally stepped onto the stage, shouting at Bai Fei'er.
Bai Fei'er glanced at him, slowly retracting her smile.
"Are you treating as an unrelated individual?"
The elder frowned: "Bai Fei'er, are you trying to cause trouble? This is not a place for you to run wild!"
Bai Fei'er didn't respond, looking instead at the high platform of the martial arena, where her clan leader father was surely watching everything.
But she wasn't waiting for her father's response; instead, she raised her eyebrows, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "Enough with the nonsense, let's do this, I'll give you two a chance, co at together, defeat ."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Such words were excessively arrogant and boastful.
Did Bai Fei'er think she was still the unparalleled genius, adored by all?
Don't be ridiculous, now that she had lost her cultivation, she was utterly vulnerable!
"Haha, Bai Fei'er has truly gone mad! Saying such big words!"
"Is her brain broken?"
"Does she really think she can defeat Bai Haoxuan and Bai i? Dream on!"
The crowd erupted in mocking laughter.
Yet Bai Fei'er paid them no mind, maintaining her calm deanor, her gaze fixed intently on Bai Haoxuan and Bai i, as if victory was already in her grasp.
Bai Haoxuan and Bai i exchanged glances, seeing the sa anger and humiliation in each other's eyes. They had always been overshadowed by Bai Fei'er, all the glory was hers, and now, finally having a chance to shine, they were still looked down upon by a "discarded" one!?
Such an insult was unacceptable!
"Bai Fei'er, since you're courting death, we'll grant your wish!"
Bai Haoxuan and Bai i simultaneously assud their stances, not even bothering to consider Bai Fei'er's unusual behavior, while the elder acting as judge was now in a panic.
How did it co to this!?
