Baili Xianshang is ruthless, meticulous, and people like her are usually suspicious. But suspicious people can be divided into two types: one type acts forcefully without considering consequences nor the result of their doubts, while the other has suspicion first and caution later, measuring the opponent's strength before acting, and confirming suspicions through just the right amount of probing—primarily abrupt, catching people off guard.
However, Hanhai Chaoyi is not an ordinary person. Frankly speaking, she is also one who achieves great things. When she heard Baili Xianshang's words, her first reaction was that the other party was probing her.
When they reach this level of cultivation and status, confidently pulling a joint effort to divert her before directly taking action saves time and needs no words.
If words are spoken, it means probing.
