Blue Borong and the others in the line of elders stood with furrowed brows upon witnessing Blue Jingkuang's arrogant behavior. As loyal members of the Blue family, it was only appropriate for them to pledge allegiance to Blue Qingyan. However, from the current situation, it seemed that Blue Jingkuang and his companions had no respect for the former family head, which was quite inappropriate.
On the contrary, Blue Qingyan was completely oblivious to all of this and immersed herself in the flattery, unable to contain her joy.
"Master, I don't understand what Blue Qingyan is so happy about. Even if she really assumes the position of family head, isn't it still Blue Jingkuang who will be pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Xiao Hei was perplexed. Blue Qingyan was now smiling so much that she couldn't even close her mouth, but anyone could see that Blue Jingkuang, being so eager for power, would tightly control that power in his own hands.
"Well, it seems that Blue Qingyan is currently immersed in the affection from Blue Jingkuang, so she hasn't thought about that aspect at all," Bai Li Hongzhuang shrugged, wearing an expression of indifference.
Let Blue Qingyan and the others enjoy their temporary triumph. This dream of theirs wouldn't last long.
"I actually think it's good that Blue Jingkuang doesn't respect the family head. Look at Blue Borong and the others. Although they haven't said it directly, their expressions say it all," Xiao Bai said slowly.
After a round of insincere compliments, Blue Qingyan finally shifted her attention to Bai Li Hongzhuang.
At this moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang's already stunning appearance became even more enchanting, but whenever she looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang, there was always a hint of ill intentions in her eyes.
"Bai Li Shao Gongzhu, I heard that you've been in seclusion all this time, trying to break through to the Purple Realm?" Blue Qingyan smiled at Bai Li Hongzhuang, with a clear mockery in her eyes.
With Blue Qingyan's words, Blue Jingkuang also raised his glass and looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang, "It's true. The Emperor, the Lord of Ink, and Qingyan have all broken through to the Purple Realm through the Ice and Snow God Pond. Only Bai Li Shao Gongzhu remains at the ninth stage of the Blue Realm. I imagine it must be quite uncomfortable for you, right?"
"However, Bai Li Shao Gongzhu, you don't need to feel discouraged. There's always a certain gap between individuals. As long as you don't compare, you can still live a happy life."
Blue Jingkuang was clearly prepared to tear his face with Bai Li Hongzhuang, so his words carried both comfort and sarcasm.
It seemed like consolation, but it was all mockery and sarcasm.
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly, her delicate face radiating a humble glow.
"Kuangye is right. I'm a few years younger than Young Master Blue, so it's normal for me not to catch up with him now. Young Master Blue is so outstanding that I will definitely strive to catch up with his pace."
Her voice was melodious and carried a hint of laughter. Compared to the deliberate mockery, this seemingly indifferent retort made people even more uncomfortable.
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of Blue Jingkuang and Blue Qingyan also changed slightly.
They hadn't expected that Bai Li Hongzhuang, at such a young age, would handle situations so adeptly. In just a few words, she had shifted the focus of all the issues to age.
In doing so, it seemed that Bai Li Hongzhuang was not inferior to Blue Qingyan at all, and she might even surpass her.
"I wonder what Bai Li Shao Gongzhu feels about Qingyan's upcoming appointment as family head?" Blue Jingkuang looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with a piercing gaze, his words clearly probing.
