At this moment, Bái Hóng suddenly smiled faintly, nodded gently toward the three people in front of him, and said in a measured voice: "Young Clan Leader, my niece, and Daoist Hu, please bear in mind that you must be extremely cautious in all things. Never lower your guard, and above all, do not underestimate the enemy. If during the course of your investigation you should ever need me, you may come back and find me at any time. Although I am getting on in years, whatever lies within my power, I will certainly do my utmost to assist." With that, his gentle gaze swept across the faces of the three one by one, filled entirely with concern and encouragement.
Upon receiving this sincere charge from Bái Hóng, Hu Yuan and the others expressed that they would keep it firmly in their hearts. Then, the group slowly turned around and walked out of the story-filled teahouse with resolute strides.
The moment he stepped out the front doors of the teahouse, Hu Yuan could not help but raise his head to gaze at the boundless sky in the distance. Deep within Hu Yuan's heart, a fierce determination quietly surged—he was resolved to use every ounce of his strength to uncover the historical truth that had been sealed away by the passage of time, to help Bai Zhen and his daughter untie the knots buried deep within their hearts, and to restore justice and peace to them.
