Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Being Low-Key Does Not Mean Tolerating!

Fang Bai instantly grasped what had happened when he heard the conversation between father and daughter.

Baili Mingyue was rebellious by nature and liked to stand up against injustice. She earned the nickname "Little Witch" during her middle school years, and carried it with her into the university campus.

The issue at hand seemed to involve Baili Mingyue witnessing a classmate being bullied and, unable to stand by, she intervened, hurt someone, and then fled back home.

"Here’s what happened..."

Jiang Yuzhi could only offer a bitter smile, laced with helplessness, as she briefly recounted to Fang Bai the trouble her daughter had caused.

It turned out that earlier that evening, as Baili Mingyue and a female classmate named Aling were walking home from school, Aling encountered her boyfriend being intimate with another girl. Aling confronted her boyfriend, only to be slapped by him, followed by his declaration that he wanted to break up with her.

Upon seeing Aling slapped and crying from the humiliation, Baili Mingyue was instantly enraged, without saying a second word, she stepped forward and landed a kick squarely between the boy’s legs.

Although Baili Mingyue had not been practicing martial arts under Fang Bai for very long, her strength had already reached the intermediate Yellow Level. Even though the kick she delivered did not employ True Essence Force, it was not something an ordinary person could endure, causing the boy to faint on the spot from the pain.

Realizing the situation was bad, Baili Mingyue grabbed Aling and they both fled the scene. They separated on the way and went their respective homes.

Facing the criticism and scolding from her parents, Baili Mingyue felt no unease, but when she saw Fang Bai arrive, she became somewhat nervous, her eyes looking down at the ground, not daring to meet Fang Bai’s gaze.

Although she feared neither heaven nor earth, Fang Bai held a very special place in Baili Mingyue’s heart; he was not only a teacher and a friend but also like a brother to her. Moreover, his formidable and enigmatic strength naturally instilled a sense of awe in her.

To Baili Mingyue’s relief, Fang Bai did not criticize or scold her like her parents had after hearing about the incident. Instead, he smiled at her and said, "You did the right thing with this matter! Had I been in your place, I would have beaten up that guy as well!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue’s eyes shone with excitement, she almost cheered out loud.

Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi, to their surprise, did not expect Fang Bai to take their daughter’s side, and they exchanged looks of astonishment.

"For us martial artists, being low-key is good, but being low-key is not equal to submitting!"

Fang Bai’s expression turned serious, and his tone became stern as he continued, "As martial artists, our way is to live by the principle that if no one offends me, I will not offend them; but if someone offends me, I shall return the favor. If this time Mingyue had seen her friend humiliated and remained indifferent, next time it might be the same, and in the long run, she would lose her spirit and dull her ambition, which is a great taboo for a martial artist!"

After hearing Fang Bai’s words, Baili Zhan and his wife looked at each other again, both deep in thought.

"Brother, we have learned a lot from you!"

Suddenly, Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi both stood up and, with a salute folding their fists, paid their respects to Fang Bai.

What Fang Bai shared was insight into the cultivation of a martial artist’s mind, indirectly offering guidance to Baili Zhan and his wife. Although it was just a few words, it benefited them greatly.

"But Mingyue always seems to be causing trouble; it won’t do not to teach her a lesson!"

Jiang Yuzhi expressed her concern, "I worry that if we let her go on like this, she could cause some serious trouble in the future, and that would be problematic."

"Mingyue is not the type of person who bullies the weak or acts unreasonably. I believe she won’t stir up trouble on her own. As long as she stands on justice and morals, no matter what she gets into, I can carry the burden for her!"

As Fang Bai uttered those final words, his aura suddenly burst forth, sending the four people and one marten present trembling. They couldn’t help but feel an urge to kneel and submit.

At that moment, Ghost Hand and Baili Mingyue gazed at Fang Bai with eyes full of envy and admiration, while Baili Zhan and his wife were struck with shock and awe.

When Fang Bai first moved into the courtyard, his strength had been inferior to Baili Zhan’s. But in just half a year’s time, the mere release of Fang Bai’s aura now exerted tremendous pressure on Baili Zhan. This rate of power advancement was simply beyond Baili Zhan’s imagination.

However, upon closer thought, Baili Zhan came to a realization. His own daughter had been an ordinary person, but under Fang Bai’s guidance, she had now become a Yellow Level mid-rank Martial Artist. This was a testament to the miraculous nature of Fang Bai’s methods.

"Hm?"

Fang Bai’s brows suddenly furrowed slightly. Then, he slowly turned around to look towards the large gate of the courtyard, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam that vanished in an instant.

"Little brother, what’s wrong?"

Seeing that Fang Bai seemed off, Baili Zhan was taken aback.

Fang Bai said, "There are a few Martial Artists heading this way, and they’re not coming with good intentions!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, the faces of both Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi changed drastically. Their first thought was that the assassins sent by their sects to hunt down their family had discovered their whereabouts and were coming to seek retribution.

Both Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi were disciples of the Hidden Sect, one from the "Ghost Doctor Valley" and the other from the "Yunnv Sect".

Both "Ghost Doctor Valley" and "Yunnv Sect" were major sects within the Hidden Sect with numerous disciples and many powerful experts. Although Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi were Profound Level high-rank Martial Artists—top experts in the secular world—they were only ordinary disciples in their respective sects.

The Hidden Sects had extremely strict rules. After the couple eloped from their sects, they were placed on the kill list. As long as they were alive, no matter where they fled—even to the ends of the earth—they would face relentless pursuit.

The assassins Cuihun and Life-Snatching from "Ghost Doctor Valley", and Mo Ling and Mo Ming from "Yunnv Sect" were the ones sent after Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi, and their strengths were slightly superior to that of the couple.

It could be said that if not for Fang Bai’s intervention, Baili Zhan’s family would now be dead souls under the sect killers’ blades.

After joining forces with Fang Bai and eliminating the four assassins from "Ghost Doctor Valley" and "Yunnv Sect", they used corpse disintegrating powder formulated by Fang Bai to destroy the bodies and erase all traces. If the sects sent more assassins, it would be very difficult for them to find the family’s location again in a short period.

However, Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi understood that once the sects realized that the previously sent assassins may have fallen, they would certainly dispatch even more powerful disciples to continue the pursuit.

Cuihun, Life-Snatching, Mo Ling, and Mo Ming, these four Hidden Sect disciples, were already Profound Level high-rank Martial Artists. If the sects decided to send more assassins, they might be disciples with Profound Level Perfection or even Earth Level initial rank strength. By then, if they were found, even with Fang Bai’s help, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.

Although Fang Bai had just demonstrated a level of strength that made Baili Zhan tremble, Baili Zhan guessed that Fang Bai might be an Earth Level Martial Artist, but alone he would find it difficult to contend with several equal opponents. Once Fang Bai got involved, he might even lose his life in the process.
