"Cui Gongzi is too generous with praise. If you have time in the future, why not gather at my First Floor? I'll treat you all."
Mo Yunjue maintained a graceful and composed demeanor.
A hint of doubt flickered in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes. She felt that the Mo Yunjue she saw today was slightly different from the one she had encountered in the Fallen Cloud Mountain Range.
Back then, Mo Yunjue exuded a gloomy aura all over, but now he seemed much more lively. The only thing that remained unchanged was his eyes, which still carried a profound darkness.
After a brief chat, Baili Hongzhuang and the others took their leave. They had been outside for quite a long time.
The two mentors went to discuss the results with the vice principal. It was possible they had already returned by now.
Mo Yunjue also didn't stay longer than necessary and only saw them off at the entrance of the First Floor.
"Hongzhuang, I never expected you to know so many people. It turns out you have acquaintances even in Qingxiao Country," Xia Zhiqing exclaimed excitedly. Baili Hongzhuang was truly impressive, as her friends were all remarkable individuals.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "I and he are merely acquaintances. His willingness to lend a helping hand today also exceeded my expectations."
Although Dongfang Yu and the others didn't speak, they were filled with admiration as well.
Since they had known Baili Hongzhuang, she had surprised them too many times. Now, they didn't find it difficult to accept anymore.
"I didn't expect Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin to be such people. Although they didn't cause us trouble today due to Mo Yunjue's presence, I believe they will do everything possible to make things difficult for us during the academy exchange competition," Zhan Yunfeng frowned. Based on her judgment, Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin were vengeful individuals. It was likely that they would encounter many troubles during the competition.
Xia Zhiqing placed her hand on Zhan Yunfeng's shoulder, a smile playing on her face. "Yunfeng, why worry so much? It's not like we offended them today, so they won't make things difficult for us during the competition."
"Pfft."
Zhan Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh at Xia Zhiqing's words. "That's true. But we still need to be cautious."
Everyone nodded in agreement. This academy exchange competition was indeed a grand event!
"I wonder what kind of expression Nangong Xiujie and the others will have when they find out that we are students from Canglan Academy. Haha," Xia Zhiqing chuckled. "It's bound to be very exciting."
"Hongzhuang, if Nangong Xiujie finds out in the future that you are not Mo Yunjue's wife, will he blame Mo Yunjue?" Cui Haoyan's eyes revealed a hint of concern. Since Mo Yunjue had helped them today, it was only natural to consider him a friend. Once they finished the academy exchange competition, they would be able to leave Qingxiao Country, but Mo Yunjue couldn't simply leave his restaurant behind.
If their actions ended up affecting Mo Yunjue, they would feel extremely guilty.
A pensive look flashed in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes as she replied, "I don't think so. If Mo Yunjue can make Nangong Xiujie and the others so wary, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him."
She believed that Mo Yunjue was definitely not an ordinary person. His background must be far from simple.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a mere merchant to make a prince wary.
Since Mo Yunjue had taken action to help them, he must have a plan in mind, so there was no need to worry.
