Hearing Han Xiling's words, Baili Hongzhuang also understood that her progress during this period had been quite good, considering the short time she had been practicing cultivation.
"What method did Crown Prince use to enhance your cultivation?" Han Xiling frowned. There were indeed methods in this world that could enhance one's cultivation, but they often came at the cost of damaging the cultivator's foundation.
Although it wouldn't result in significant progress in a short period, once the cultivation was forcibly elevated, future potential would be limited.
According to Han Xiling's understanding of Emperor Beichen's feelings for Baili Hongzhuang, he wouldn't have allowed her to resort to such methods.
However, if Baili Hongzhuang's progress was entirely due to her own cultivation, Han Xiling couldn't believe it at all.
She herself had been outstanding in her progress at Tian Gang Sect.
Her grandfather had even told her that if she maintained this rate of improvement, she would undoubtedly become a renowned cultivator in the Holy Profound Continent.
But if Baili Hongzhuang's progress was faster than hers, wouldn't that mean Baili Hongzhuang had superior talent?
Han Xiling couldn't possibly believe that. After much thought, she arrived at one possibility.
Baili Hongzhuang must have secretly used some method to forcefully enhance her cultivation!
If that were the case, everything would make sense!
Baili Hongzhuang, in order to match up to the Crown Prince, had sacrificed her own potential to advance her cultivation.
The corners of Han Xiling's lips curled up in a triumphant smile. She hadn't expected Baili Hongzhuang to be so foolish and resort to such methods. It seemed she had overestimated Baili Hongzhuang's abilities.
Listening to Han Xiling's words, Baili Hongzhuang paused for a moment. She hadn't anticipated that Han Xiling would come up with such a conclusion.
"You're overthinking." Baili Hongzhuang responded calmly.
While it was true that there were practitioners on the Holy Profound Continent who used such methods, she was definitely not one of them!
She understood the importance of potential and never overlooked long-term benefits for immediate gains.
However, Han Xiling simply refused to believe anything Baili Hongzhuang said.
"Don't bother trying to conceal it. I've already seen through your true nature," Han Xiling said, crossing her arms. The deep-rooted hatred she had felt seemed to have dissipated somewhat, giving her a carefree appearance.
"As long as I reveal this matter, your value won't be much more than the trash you were before."
Seeing Han Xiling's confident demeanor, Baili Hongzhuang felt somewhat helpless.
People like Han Xiling, who considered themselves superior, always believed that their judgment was correct.
Han Xiling had initially planned to take action, but at this moment, she abandoned her intentions because Baili Hongzhuang was no longer her match!
"Has no one ever told you that you're incredibly foolish?" Baili Hongzhuang looked at Han Xiling mockingly. With Han Xiling's intelligence, it would be truly strange if she could catch up to Emperor Beichen.
No wonder Emperor Beichen had never liked Han Xiling all these years. At this moment, Baili Hongzhuang finally understood that fact completely.
