Chapter 709 Learning The Rules

• Bai Jing stepped forward, leading the way as Ning Tianci followed him into the Jin family's mansion. The guards at the gate quickly made way, their faces filled with fear. In the center, a person covered in blood knelt, trembling and wailing, sending chills down the spines of those present.
• Despite the shocking scene, no one dared to intervene. The Jin family, one of the eight prestigious families operating for centuries in Jinling, had a reputation for their hidden power and influence. Ning Tianci remained composed, walking calmly with Bai Jing into the mansion.

These skilled individuals were adept at concealing themselves in the darkness, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Bai Jing, holding a knife wrapped in cloth, remained unfazed by the tension in the air.
