Di Beichen nodded, but his words did not align with Qin Ai's question.
"They are all friends I met at Canglan Academy. I suppose the Four Lords might not be aware that I am also a student in the special enrollment class," he said.
As Di Beichen's words fell, everyone was momentarily stunned, looking at him with surprise. They truly had no knowledge of this matter.
In fact, Di Beichen had visited Canglan Academy after returning to the sect. Before his return, everyone had been paying close attention to his movements. However, after he had stood up again, they didn't need to keep such close tabs on him anymore.
Nevertheless, they had never expected that Di Beichen would also become a student in the special enrollment class of Canglan Academy. It was truly baffling.
The people who had been mocking Canglan Academy's lack of prominence closed their mouths upon hearing Di Beichen's words. Even the Young Sect Master was a student at Canglan Academy, so how could they dare to speak ill of it?
Han Xilin's face turned somewhat unsightly. It seemed that Big Brother Di was indeed protecting Bai Li Hongzhuang.
In fact, Di Beichen was specifically emphasizing the fact that Xia Zhiqing and the others were his friends, so no one could blame Bai Li Hongzhuang for their presence.
They were his invited guests and his friends, with no connection to Bai Li Hongzhuang whatsoever.
If someone wanted trouble, they should direct it at him.
"So, the Young Sect Master has also been to Canglan Academy, and his friends are also friends of Tian Gang Sect," Qin Ai said with a faint smile, his gaze falling on Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi.
He asked this question specifically to prevent Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi from causing trouble again.
Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi glanced coldly at Qin Ai. Qin Ai had become a stumbling block for them.
After hearing Di Beichen's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others also smiled.
"It's different when Di Beichen is around. Han Xilin can only keep her mouth shut," Xia Zhiqing said with a smile, winking at Bai Li Hongzhuang. She had been worried that Han Xilin would bully Hongzhuang here.
Now, seeing Di Beichen's protective attitude towards Bai Li Hongzhuang, she knew that as long as Di Beichen was there, no one could harm Hongzhuang.
A radiant smile bloomed on Bai Li Hongzhuang's exquisitely beautiful face, like a garden of blossoming flowers, splendid and vibrant.
After seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's smile, the gaze of many cultivators in the vicinity focused on her. Bai Li Hongzhuang's beauty was impossible for anyone to ignore. Even when she stood quietly, she captivated everyone's attention, and now, with her smile, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, filled with enchantment and astonishment.
"No wonder the Young Sect Master likes Bai Li Hongzhuang. Any man would be unable to resist her charm," someone remarked.
"Han Xilin is pretty, but there's still a big gap compared to Bai Li Hongzhuang," another said.
The male disciples present all had a look of admiration in their eyes. As men, they understood the Young Sect Master's mindset even more!
Listening to the sighs of the male disciples, Han Xilin's face darkened once again. Was she being considered less attractive than Bai Li Hongzhuang?
Xia Zhiqing and Zhan Yunfeng exchanged a smile. They had already accepted it as a fact that wherever Bai Li Hongzhuang went, she would cause a stir.
