Xia Junshu was pleasantly surprised by Bai Li Hongzhuang's sincere smile in front of him. He suddenly felt that the rumors about her were completely biased.
Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't have a hint of arrogance, nor did she appear to use any seductive tactics, as people had claimed. She looked like an untainted lotus flower, emanating elegance and beauty with every smile and frown.
"I'm glad to meet you too," Xia Junshu smiled.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze flickered between Xia Junshu and Xia Zhiqing for a moment. Xia Junshu's feelings for Xia Zhiqing were already known to them from their previous encounter.
She suddenly understood why the atmosphere between Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu had become so strange. It was likely related to Xia Junshu.
Bai Junyu had been about to stand up, but the moment he saw Xia Junshu, he sat back down, closing his eyes as if pretending to cultivate.
Bai Li Hongzhuang sighed softly. Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu's relationship had truly been full of twists and turns. They couldn't continue to delay any longer.
"Junior Sister Xia, I also need to return to the Vermillion Bird Palace. Do you mind if I accompany you?" Xia Junshu asked with a warm smile, his voice low.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqing pondered for a moment and glanced at Bai Junyu, who had already entered a state of cultivation. She felt even more annoyed.
"Sure!" Xia Zhiqing's face bloomed with a radiant smile, showing no signs of reluctance.
Seeing Xia Zhiqing's agreement, Xia Junshu became even happier. "That's great! Let's go then."
Xia Zhiqing nodded, immediately taking Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand, and together with Xia Junshu, they headed towards the Vermillion Bird Palace.
The three Beast Companions sat on Bai Li Hongzhuang's body, feeling quite helpless about the situation before them.
Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu sulking at each other was clearly giving others an opportunity to take advantage. It was truly exasperating!
After Bai Li Hongzhuang, Xia Zhiqing, and Xia Junshu left the cultivation area, Bai Junyu turned his gaze towards the direction Xia Zhiqing had left, his expression filled with melancholy...
After walking a short distance from the meditation area, Bai Li Hongzhuang turned to Xia Zhiqing and Xia Junshu, saying, "I need to visit the Young Master's sleeping quarters. You two can go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqing nodded slightly, saying, "Okay."
She understood very well that the Young Master and the Young Mistress shared their evening meals together every day.
Xia Junshu also felt a surge of joy. He had been wanting to find an opportunity to learn more about Xia Zhiqing. However, with Bai Li Hongzhuang present, he didn't feel comfortable saying much.
Now that Bai Li Hongzhuang had left, he would undoubtedly feel more at ease.
Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at Xia Zhiqing and Xia Junshu, realizing they were already close to the Vermillion Bird Palace. There shouldn't be any problems, so she left with peace of mind.
"Master, this Xia Junshu seems like a good person. He's probably not a bad guy," Xiao Hei observed as he examined Xia Junshu's figure.
"Whether he's a bad guy or not isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu are a couple," Xiao Bai sighed. They couldn't allow anyone to steal Bai Junyu's spotlight.
"Master will definitely find a way to help resolve this," White Lion said calmly. With the feelings between Master and Xia Zhiqing, she wouldn't let this matter go unchecked.
Bai Li Hongzhuang had already made up her mind. She smiled and reassured them, "You three don't need to worry. I'll handle it properly."
