The disciples could naturally think of the same things as the elders.
In their opinion, the senior elder's words were somewhat unreasonable.
Even though there had been conflicts between Baili Hongzhuang and Han Xiling, Han Hongyi, as an elder, should not have spoken such words. Not only did it lack grace, but it also made him the subject of ridicule.
At this moment, Han Hongyi couldn't care less about what others thought and stuck to his stubborn stance.
No matter what, he couldn't believe that this was Baili Hongzhuang's true strength!
However, Hei Ming's next words made Han Hongyi's expression even more unpleasant.
"The Sect Master has recruited Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, Xia Zhiqing, and Bai Junyu into the sect."
As soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In their opinion, it was already surprising enough that Baili Hongzhuang achieved such results. Xia Zhiqing and the others' strength definitely couldn't climb into the top 100.
In that case, could it be that the Young Master favored them and brought them back to the sect?
No wonder there were twelve cultivators. Maybe it was all because of the Young Master's favoritism.
Thinking of this, everyone's mood became somewhat gloomy.
In their eyes, the Young Master, who had always been outstanding and fair, should not have done such a thing.
However, Hei Ming's next sentence explained the reason perfectly, causing everyone to understand.
"Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, Xia Zhiqing, and Bai Junyu are all among the top 30 on the top 100 rankings. Gong Shaoqing is 27th, Dongfang Yu is 28th, Bai Junyu is 29th, and Xia Zhiqing is 30th."
Black Ming's gaze turned slightly cold. The senior elder was already a stumbling block, and now he was slandering the Young Madam. It was truly disgusting!
Listening to Hei Ming's explanation, the disciples of Tiangang Sect were dumbfounded once again.
"How is that possible? They are all in the top 30 of the top 100 rankings?"
"Not only that, but their rankings are also extremely close. It's too unbelievable!"
"In that case, the senior elder's previous speculation is completely unfounded. If Baili Hongzhuang really took away Xia Zhiqing's points, how could Xia Zhiqing achieve such results?"
"The performance of these cultivators from Canglan Academy in the assessment competition is truly astonishing! What kind of fortuitous encounters did they have?"
The disciples found it inconceivable. In theory, this was something that simply couldn't happen.
Among the cultivators present, some had participated in the assessment competition and knew how difficult it was to climb into the top 100. They were well aware of it.
Generally speaking, the cultivators who could appear on the top 100 rankings were mostly from large-scale dynasties. Occasionally, a few cultivators from medium-scale dynasties making it to the top 100 would already be considered dark horses!
However, Xia Zhiqing and the others were only from small-scale or medium-scale dynasties, and Canglan Academy was only renowned within such levels of dynasties.
But for large-scale dynasties, academies like Canglan had no influence at all.
Yet, it was these individuals like Baili Hongzhuang who achieved such astonishing results, which made it even more unbelievable!
If they could, they really wanted to doubt whether Hei Ming had misspoken.
However, they also knew that the possibility of him being wrong was almost zero!
At that moment, they were filled with envy towards Xia Zhiqing and the others. What kind of fortuitous encounters had they come across?
