Upon realizing the situation, Lü Jinglin and Lü Jingqi exchanged a glance, both wearing somewhat displeased expressions.
"We were indeed in the wrong earlier. How about we bury the hatchet and become friends? Otherwise, if we start fighting, it won't benefit any of us," suggested Xiao Lanmei with a confident gleam in his eyes. Although the other party had eight people, they also had eight people. While they were unsure of the opponent's true strength, judging by their age, they should be evenly matched. Engaging in a fight would only result in mutual harm, which was not a desirable outcome.
Bai Li Hongzhuang coldly observed Xiao Lanmei. She hadn't forgotten his previous words. This guy was definitely not someone who would hold back.
As Xiao Lanmei's words fell, the expressions of Xia Zhiqing and the others underwent slight changes. As Xiao Lanmei had said, if they started fighting, the outcome couldn't be guaranteed.
In the next moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang turned her body back and resumed eating as if nothing had happened.
Witnessing this scene, Xiao Lanmei's face turned slightly unpleasant, and Lü Jingqi couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what do you mean by this?"
"This young master said to bury the hatchet and be friends, so I'll pretend this incident never happened. As for being friends, people with different paths shouldn't conspire together, so let's forget about it," replied Bai Li Hongzhuang indifferently. After she sat down, Xia Zhiqing and the others also casually took their seats, treating Xiao Lanmei and his group as if they were air.
In the past, Bai Li Hongzhuang was their junior in the special enrollment class. However, after the experience in the ancient ruins, Bai Li Hongzhuang had already broken through to the Innate Realm. In the world of cultivators, strength was respected, regardless of age. Thus, Bai Li Hongzhuang had become their de facto leader, and none of them disputed this result.
Xiao Lanmei's face turned slightly pale. For the first time, someone had refused his offer to be friends, and in such a disrespectful manner. This was hard for him to accept, especially since he held himself in high regard.
"Do you really think highly of yourself? Senior Xiao wanted to be friends with you, and you actually refuse?" Lü Jingqi raised her voice, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Do you know who we are?"
When Lü Jingqi mentioned the term "senior," the expressions of Gong Shaoqing and the others changed slightly. They had already suspected that this group of young cultivators gathered together might be from the academy. Now, upon hearing Lü Jingqi's words, their speculations were further confirmed.
"Students from North Sea Academy behaving so arrogantly outside?" Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips curved slightly, her smile carrying a touch of wickedness. Her pitch-black phoenix eyes flickered with a cold light.
Originally, they had just wanted to have a good meal, but because of the actions of these people, they had ruined their mood.
North Sea Academy!
The people in the hall were stunned upon hearing the name of North Sea Academy. While Ling Yin Academy was the most famous in Qingxiao Kingdom, the name North Sea Academy was still well-known.
It was a gathering place for geniuses, and now, these young people before them actually hailed from North Sea Academy. Their identities were truly extraordinary!
As Bai Li Hongzhuang's words echoed, the expressions of Lü Jingqi and her group all showed astonishment. They hadn't expected that the woman in white and her companions would be able to deduce their identities so easily.
