The Bai Clan lacked advanced individual residence courtyards. Instead, everyone in the Bai Clan shared a common courtyard without high walls separating them. This arrangement was largely due to the clan’s history.

Originally, the Bai Clan had been a unified clan, but as their numbers grew over the course of several hundred years, they gradually split into smaller families, resulting in the current setup.

In the past, the ancestors of the Bai Clan held extremely high positions of power. However, they encountered certain challenges that led to their demise. Fortunately, they left behind numerous valuable assets, which enabled the Bai Clan to survive for a century. However, the clan had remained stagnant for many years, necessitating the appointment of a new Tribe Chief to guide them towards greater prosperity.

“Our courtyard is over there,” Wu Ziming pointed out.

Gu Chaoyan surveyed her surroundings.

It became clear why they had been arranged to stay in this location. Although the Wu brothers didn’t appear to be highly regarded by their own families, the Wu family itself held considerable influence. Even the least impressive courtyard arranged for them was still superior to those of other families along the way.

The courtyard allocated to the Wu brothers by their family was theirs alone, and the family wouldn’t interfere too much in their affairs. Thus, Wu Ziming and Wu Zimo led them straight there.

The two brothers were in high spirits.

“Master, this is…” Wu Ziming began, but as he spoke, he noticed that their courtyard had changed since they last left.

The door swung open, revealing an altered interior.

The surroundings no longer resembled how they had left it.

Addressing Wu Ziming and Wu Zimo, she questioned, “Why have you returned? Weren’t you supposed to be out?”

The matriarch initially believed that these four were too embarrassed to face the competition in the race, so they had gone into hiding. She didn’t expect them to return before the competition even started.

Furthermore, they had already arranged for a Zidao Master to be present in their courtyard. The original plan was for them to return and stay there once the competition concluded and one of the Zidao Masters left. But now, with this turn of events, they had no choice but to adjust their plans.

“This is our courtyard. Who allowed someone to enter without our permission?!” Wu Zimo’s anger flared.

This was their space, and such an intrusion was unacceptable.

Although their families had disregarded them after they were crippled, this level of disrespect was crossing the line.

“I assumed you would be away for a while, so I arranged for a Master to teach Zidao here. The competition is imminent, and Zidao is currently in a crucial stage of his cultivation. So, my family invited a Master to guide him,” the matriarch explained.

“The Master had no place to stay, so I borrowed your courtyard,” she continued.

“Besides, the two of you won’t be participating in the competition. Whether you’re at home or not doesn’t really matter. Why don’t you leave the clan for a while and give the courtyard to Zidao’s Master?”

Although Madam Wu did not engage in a full-blown argument with them, she showed no respect either.

“Who said that we, brothers, won’t compete? If we decide to participate, please arrange for them to leave immediately.” Wu Zimo’s voice seethed with determination..
