Bai Meiyue then said to Shen Zhen, "Don’t worry too much. It’s just for the time being; I will think of something to keep everyone protected."

Shen Zhen trusted Bai Meiyue. Since the woman had said that she would keep everyone protected, she would naturally do it. Shen Zhen took the children and the elderly away while Bai Meiyue returned to the mansion. She was naturally worried because of the current situation. It seemed like she had to think of a solution quickly. So this time around, Bai Meiyue gritted her teeth and used her own points that she had collected to boost the barter request that she had made earlier.

She could only hope that this post would be noticed by someone who could help her in this situation.

"Yueyue!"

Bai Meiyue raised her head and looked in the direction from which her mother was walking toward her. She frowned and walked over with a frown on her face. "What’s the matter, Mom?"

Yan Wanning was still reeling from the news that she had heard and questioned her daughter, "Did you really take in another hundred refugees? Yueyue, it’s not that I want to say that you are being too generous, but you need to control yourself. You are being way too kind."

When Bai Meiyue heard the words of her mother, she was really amused. She said to her mother, "Mom, it seems that our roles have reversed."

In the past, it was she who used to complain to her mother about her being too kind and now her mother was the one telling her that she was being too kind. Hearing her words, Yan Wanning’s cheeks turned red. She said to her daughter, "Am I wrong? I already learned my lesson and won’t waste my kindness on people who do not deserve it." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Bai Meiyue was glad that her mother had understood the reality of the current situation. She then explained, "Mom, don’t worry. I am not trying to be generous. The reason I took these people in is that I cannot leave them outside." She then told what Dacheng and the rest had done to these people. Once she finished speaking, Yan Wanning’s face twisted, and she angrily said, "Those people have really lost their humanity! How can they do such a thing? Do they think that they can do anything just because they have gained power?"

"That’s why I brought these people to the safe base; it’s not that I have forgotten my own rules. Since they have come to my safe base, naturally, they will have to work under my command. It’s just that I am being a bit lenient to them because of their experience and nothing else."

Yan Wanning did not say anything. She did not have the heart to tell her daughter to send these people away; after all, they had indeed suffered quite a lot at the hands of those cruel beasts. She sighed and said to Bai Meiyue, "Alright, you can allow them to stay, but make one thing clear to them: they are not allowed to laze around in the safe base like they used to do under Yu Miaomiao. I will not allow that to happen."

"Don’t worry, Mom. This thing has already been cleared up." Bai Meiyue nodded as she agreed with her mother. Laziness was something that she could never accept, just as she could not accept the thought of someone taking advantage of her. Her eyes darkened when she thought about how Dacheng was trying to make use of her and sneered coldly. If that man thought that he had seen the last of her, then he was very much wrong!

[Ding.]

[Your barter request has been accepted.]

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of someone accepting her barter request echoed in her head. She raised her head and looked at the blue screen. A sense of relief washed over her as she randomly made an excuse in front of her mother: "Mom, I am really tired. So I will be taking a nap; if there is something, send Brother Jixuan to wake me up."

After she finished speaking, she hurried inside the mansion and went inside. Yan Wanning watched her go and simply shook her head. She had gotten used to her daughter acting like a little mysterious minx. She simply went to the greenhouse, where she ran into Old Master Bai. The second she saw her supposed father, Yan Wanning stopped and did not know what to think at the moment. She blinked her eyes and asked, "Can I help you, Old Master Bai?"

When Old Master Bai heard her distant tone, he felt his heart ache, but at the same time, he knew that no one else but he was at fault. Who asked him and his wife to be so careless? They should have known that they were raising a fake, but they were so engrossed in taking care of the fake one that they did not even sense that there was something wrong with her.

He could only blame himself for being blind. He pursed his lips and then hooked his lips into a smile and said to her, "Wanning, are you going to plant rice today? I asked some of the ability users to arrange the rice seeds."

"Oh." Yan Wanning did not know how to act in front of her father. She knew that the man was trying to get close to her, but at the same time, she felt quite reluctant. After all, her memories had been stained by Father Yan, who raised her like livestock. He never treated her like a child. So how could she just accept the father who popped out of nowhere?

She was still having nightmares whenever it came to the word father!

Old Master Bai’s enthusiasm was not doused by Yan Wanning’s cold response. He followed after her and said to her in a soft voice, "Wanning, I can also help. See, I have already dug the soil...I can sow the seeds if you allow me to."
