However, the impact had already been made. Even though Wei Hanyun had disappeared from their sight, those who were paying attention had already learned the truth of the matter.
As a result, it was likely that the reputation of Lingyun Academy and Beihai Academy had been greatly affected.
Lu Jingqi had already recovered and was now looking at Xia Zhiqing with resentment. She had always harbored a deep hatred for Xia Zhiqing, but now her hatred had intensified. Unfortunately, she was no match for Xia Zhiqing in terms of strength, so she could only express her anger through her gaze.
In response, Xia Zhiqing casually adjusted her hair and spoke a simple sentence that left Lu Jingqi speechless.
"A defeated underling."
Xia Zhiqing didn't even spare a glance at Lu Jingqi. It was clear that Lu Jingqi posed no threat to her anymore. She didn't even consider her worth looking at.
The spectators didn't have to wait long before the Emperor of Qingxiao Nation, Nangong Ouyi, walked over under the escort of the crowd. Everyone in the vicinity stood up and saluted him.
Nangong Ouyi was about forty-five years old, with a handsome and stern face exuding the aura of an emperor. His gaze was sharp and wise, and with just one look, it seemed to carry boundless power.
Even with a faint smile on his face, that countenance still made people feel uneasy. The aura he had cultivated over the years accompanied every one of his movements.
His bright yellow imperial robe was like a dazzling light, evoking a sense of awe in everyone's hearts.
Beside Nangong Ouyi, Nangong Yujin and Nangong Yue'er also appeared. In addition to them, there was a striking and distinguished man who caught everyone's attention.
The man was dressed in an exquisite light yellow brocade robe, adorned with auspicious totems woven in golden thread, exuding a strong sense of nobility.
Obviously, this man was the Crown Prince of Qingxiao Nation, Nangong Aochen.
Nangong Aochen had a clear and handsome face with a cold and rigid expression. Perhaps due to his status as the Crown Prince, there was always a hint of seriousness on his face. However, perhaps that was also a part of his masculine charm.
The gazes of many women present were captivated by Nangong Aochen. He was undoubtedly the dream man in the hearts of all the women in Qingxiao Nation, the pride of the entire nation.
Almost every woman hoped to be noticed by Nangong Aochen one day. However, Nangong Aochen was completely different from Nangong Yujin, who was a playboy.
Nangong Aochen devoted almost all his time and energy to official affairs and paid no attention to women.
It was precisely because Nangong Aochen didn't care that it attracted countless women who wanted to throw themselves into his arms.
"This Nangong Aochen does look quite impressive. He's handsome, and you can tell at a glance that he's not the same as Nangong Yujin."
Zhan Yunfeng observed Nangong Aochen and had heard of his resounding reputation. Today, she finally got a chance to see him in person.
Cui Haoyan raised an eyebrow and directly put his arm around Zhan Yunfeng's shoulder. "What's this? Are you interested in Nangong Aochen?"
As soon as these words came out, the attention of Baili Hongzhuang and the others shifted to Cui Haoyan.
Since the incident with the wave of demonic beasts, Zhan Yunfeng and Cui Haoyan had become a couple. However, they had never seen Cui Haoyan speak so blatantly before.
Zhan Yunfeng was obviously taken aback as well, and after feeling the scorching gaze from Cui Haoyan, her face turned slightly red as she said, "N-No, not at all."
