ng Rouyan’s expression softened, and she offered a gentle smile. "I simply wish to make a friend," she said, her voice sincere. "And perhaps, we can share information. My ng Clan is desperate to atone for our past inaction, and any clue about the White Tiger God would be invaluable."

She paused, her eyes pleading. "I would also like to invite you to our clan’s residence. We can discuss this further in a more comfortable setting."
Yun Lintian’s gaze remained steady. He had no intention of visiting the ng Clan. "I appreciate the offer, but I prefer to travel alone. I will share any information I find, but I cannot promise anything."
ng Rouyan’s smile faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered. "I understand. But please, if you change your mind, you are always welco."
Yun Lintian nodded, then turned and walked away.
As Yun Lintian disappeared into the crowd, a tall, imposing man erged from the shadows behind ng Rouyan. He was dressed in dark robes, his face stern and expressionless.
"Young Miss," he said, his voice deep and respectful.
"Can you see through his strength?" ng Rouyan asked.
The tall man paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. "His aura suggests he is at the High God Realm, but I sense sothing… more. His presence is… unsettling. I believe he is far stronger than our clan head."
ng Rouyan’s eyes widened slightly. "Stronger than Father?" she murmured, her voice filled with surprise. "That is… concerning."
"What are your orders, Young Miss?" the tall man asked, his voice respectful.
"Keep an eye on him," ng Rouyan said, her voice firm. "Follow him discreetly, and report back to any information you gather. We need to know his intentions. And if he finds the White Tiger God… we need to know that too."
"Yes, Young Miss," the tall man replied, his figure lting back into the shadows.
ng Rouyan watched as he disappeared, her expression thoughtful. She approached Yun Lintian because she had a feeling that he was not what he seed and it seed she was right.
She must find a motive behind Yun Lintian’s interest on the White Tiger. Could he be a remnant of the Bai Clan?
After leaving, Yun Lintian had already noticed soone trailing him in secret, but he didn’t care about it.
However, he hadn’t expected that simply expressing his interest in the White Tiger would attract soone’s attention. ng Rouyan’s intuition was indeed terrifyingly accurate.
"Why don’t we get rid of him, Big Brother Yun? Do you want to do it?" Qingqing asked cutely.
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "It’s fine. Let him follow. We will take care of him and his master later after finding the White Tiger."
Yun Lintian spent the next few days wandering around Sunlight City, seemingly aimlessly. He visited various shops, sampled local delicacies, and observed the bustling activities of the city. He didn’t make any overt moves to search for the White Tiger, nor did he engage in any suspicious activities. He simply blended into the crowd, appearing to be a curious traveler.
anwhile, the tall man, ng Rouyan’s subordinate, diligently followed Yun Lintian, reporting back to her every detail of his movents. He observed Yun Lintian’s interactions, his expressions, and his deanor, but he found nothing out of the ordinary.

Back at the ng Clan’s residence, ng Rouyan returned to her father, the clan head, ng Huai. She found him in his study, reviewing docunts and issuing orders.
"Father," she said, her voice respectful. "I have sothing to report."
ng Huai looked up, his expression serious. "What is it, Rouyan?"
"I encountered a stranger in the city," she said. "He is interested in the rumors about the White Tiger God."
ng Huai raised his brow slightly. "A stranger? Who is he?"
He knew that it was impossible for an ordinary person to catch his daughter’s attention.
"He calls himself Yun Lintian," ng Rouyan replied. "He claims to be a traveler. But my guard believes that he is far stronger than you, Father."
ng Huai’s expression turned serious. "Stronger than ?.. Then why would you let him follow that person?"
ng Rouyan hesitated briefly and said, "He is clearly interested in the White Tiger’s return. My intuition tells that he isn’t just curious. Perhaps we can learn one or two things from him."
ng Huai pondered for a mont, his brows furrowed. "Order your guard to return," he said, his voice firm. "We will not interfere with this Yun Lintian. We will not provoke him."
"But Father," ng Rouyan protested, "we need to know his intentions. What if he finds the White Tiger God?"
"We will not pursue the White Tiger," ng Huai said, his voice resolute. "We have already taken our share of the Bai Clan’s legacy. We will not risk incurring the wrath of a being of such power."
ng Rouyan’s eyes widened. "But Father, the White Tiger God might be our chance to atone for our past inaction!"
ng Huai sighed. "Rouyan," he said, his voice gentle. "We cannot change the past. We can only learn from it. We made a mistake by not helping the Bai Clan. We will not make another mistake by pursuing the White Tiger. Let the past remain buried."
"But…" ng Rouyan began, but her father cut her off.
"No more," ng Huai said, his voice firm. "We will not involve ourselves in this matter. We will focus on our own clan, on our own survival. There is a feeling inside that retribution will co sooner or later. Just forget about the White Tiger."
He paused for a mont and said. "And this Yun Lintian. I’m afraid he’s related to the Bai Clan… It’s just my feeling."
ng Rouyan fell silent, her expression filled with disappointnt. She understood her father’s concerns, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were missing an opportunity.
"As you wish, Father," she said, her voice subdued.
ng Huai nodded, his gaze turning back to his docunts. "Now, leave ," he said. "I have much work to do."
ng Rouyan bowed and left the study, her mind filled with thoughts. She couldn’t understand her father’s reluctance. The White Tiger God was a chance to redeem their clan, to restore their honor.
She thought for a mont and decided to look for Yun Lintian again later…
***
"There is indeed a trace of the White Tiger."
Standing not far away from the forr residence of the Bai Clan, Yun Lintian could feel a lingering aura of the White Tiger God here… It was indeed a True White Tiger God!
