Baili Hongzhuang gazed at the young man, who appeared to be around eighteen years old, and asked in confusion, "Young master, do we know each other?"
Before the man could respond, the woman beside him smiled and said, "Miss Baili, we are cultivators from the Yuan family of the Xueyuan Dynasty. When you stayed briefly at the Yuan residence, we met you. But it's normal that you don't remember us."
Back when Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen visited the Yuan family, they were always treated as honored guests. Out of curiosity, the Yuan siblings had also gone to meet them, but Baili Hongzhuang hadn't paid them any attention. Thus, while they knew Baili Hongzhuang, she didn't know them.
Upon hearing the mention of the Xueyuan Dynasty, Baili Hongzhuang had a sudden realization. After learning that they were cultivators from the Yuan family, a smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, so you're cultivators from the Yuan family. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"
"I am Yuan Zhixin, and this is my sister, Yuan Xiaoman," Yuan Zhixin said with a smile.
Although Baili Hongzhuang didn't recognize them, they held her in high regard. They had learned from their family head that Baili Hongzhuang had obtained the inheritance of the Blood Abyss, a remarkable legacy. To endure the pressure of the Blood Abyss at such a young age and gain its inheritance, what a remarkable talent!
The family head had previously warned them to treat Baili Hongzhuang with respect and not offend her if they ever had the chance to meet her. They had thought they would never see Baili Hongzhuang again in this lifetime, but they unexpectedly encountered her in this assessment competition.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the team from the Xueyuan Dynasty. It was evident that only Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman were cultivators from the Yuan family.
"A pleasure to meet you," Baili Hongzhuang said with a sunny and bright smile. "These are my teammates: Xia Zhiqing, Bai Junyu, Dongfang Yu, and Gong Shaoqing."
Upon hearing her words, Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman also smiled with delight. "A pleasure to meet you."
The four members of Gong Shaoqing's team understood immediately upon learning that the others were from the Xueyuan Dynasty, as the renowned Blood Abyss was located near the Xueyuan Dynasty.
"These are our teammates: Zhu Weicheng, Ren Wantong, and Feng Mingzhe..."
Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman introduced their teammates, their expressions revealing their closeness to Baili Hongzhuang.
Although they didn't know why Baili Hongzhuang appeared in a team from a small-scale dynasty, her strength and potential alone were already remarkable. Regardless of the circumstances, they admired her greatly.
However, the other cultivators from the Xueyuan Dynasty had a different opinion. They felt that Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman were overly exaggerated. After all, Baili Hongzhuang was just a cultivator from a small-scale dynasty. Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman appeared overly eager to please, which seemed to tarnish the reputation of the Xueyuan Dynasty.
In this small world, strength was always respected. It had always been the cultivators from small-scale dynasties trying to please those from medium-scale dynasties, and they had never seen cultivators from medium-scale dynasties making efforts to bridge the gap with cultivators from small-scale dynasties.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman introduced their teammates, the other cultivators from the Xueyuan Dynasty showed indifference.
Baili Hongzhuang was a friend of Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman, but she was not their friend. The others didn't need to care.
"Ever since you left, Sister Liqing has missed you a lot."
