Upon thinking about this, Chu Yingfei became even more frustrated and her gaze towards Baili Hongzhuang was filled with displeasure.
Any practitioner would not have a favorable impression of someone who took shortcuts, let alone with Baili Hongzhuang's arrogant attitude.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't understand why Chu Yingfei had so many opinions about her, considering they hadn't even exchanged a word. However, she didn't care.
Any practitioner who wasn't diligent enough in their cultivation would always find reasons to criticize outstanding practitioners from other aspects. Some practitioners' expressions changed slightly after hearing Chu Yingfei's sarcastic words.
In fact, although they were curious about Baili Hongzhuang's identity and suspected her of taking shortcuts, their previous thoughts dissipated after witnessing Baili Hongzhuang's true strength.
After all, Baili Hongzhuang possessed such power, and Chu Yingfei's constant targeting of her was undoubtedly impolite.
"Chu Yingfei, be mindful of your words."
At this moment, a man stood up and spoke to Chu Yingfei.
Chu Yingfei's face immediately turned unpleasant when she saw someone speaking up for Baili Hongzhuang. Baili Hongzhuang was just an outsider, and Chu Yingfei believed that her words were meant to defend everyone. However, now someone was speaking up for Baili Hongzhuang, which she found intolerable.
"Pei Yifan, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Yingfei's face was filled with dissatisfaction as she glared at Pei Yifan. She couldn't understand why Pei Yifan would stand on Baili Hongzhuang's side at a time like this.
"I don't mean anything. I just hope you pay attention to your words. Since we are all in Wujin Palace, let's get along well and refrain from using harsh language."
Pei Yifan's words were fair. He didn't know who Baili Hongzhuang really was, but based on her current performance, it was enough to prove her abilities.
In this world, geniuses were often treated differently from ordinary people.
However, Pei Yifan's words fell on Chu Yingfei's ears as dissatisfaction and reprimand, instantly turning her face red. Her gaze towards Pei Yifan was also filled with resentment.
Chu Yingfei's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang. After seeing Baili Hongzhuang's stunning and peerless face, a scornful smile appeared on her face.
"Pei Yifan, could it be that you're attracted to this newcomer? That's why you're so eager to speak up for her."
Chu Yingfei's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain as she looked at Pei Yifan.
"Even if you stand up for her, take a good look at yourself. She wouldn't even look at you, so don't fool yourself and become a laughingstock."
Chu Yingfei's words were sharp and unpleasant, showing no courtesy.
The surrounding disciples furrowed their brows upon hearing Chu Yingfei's words. Pei Yifan had always been well-liked among their group because of his integrity. He often spoke up for bullied cultivators, so in the eyes of many practitioners, he had a lofty image.
