After chatting with Xia Zhiqing for a while, Ji Wenshu left. After all, the meditation hall was not a suitable place for conversation. The practitioners were all focused on their cultivation, and continuous conversation would undoubtedly disturb others. Xia Zhiqing sat down and prepared to continue her practice without thinking too much. White Junyu's behavior had disappointed her, and she felt that she should completely dispel this idea. It was painful to like someone who didn't like you back. If White Junyu truly didn't like her, then she should free herself from this infatuation as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would only suffer in this unrequited love.
"He seems to really like you," White Junyu's voice quietly reached Xia Zhiqing's ears, causing her heart to ache, but her face showed no expression. "Maybe," she replied. "He should be a good person." With that, Xia Zhiqing fell silent and began her cultivation. After seeing that Xia Zhiqing didn't want to talk about it, White Junyu's heart sank. He remembered Xia Zhiqing's shyness when facing Ji Wenshu, and the thought of that scene caused him a piercing pain. Xia Zhiqing simply didn't like him. Since their first meeting at Canglan Academy, he had liked her. Although Xia Zhiqing was usually carefree and spoke without reservation, he liked her for her bright and sunny personality. Unconsciously, they had spent a long time together. He had thought about confessing, but Xia Zhiqing's attitude made it impossible for him to be certain of the answer. If he was wrong, he feared that he would never be able to be friends with Xia Zhiqing again. Having spent so much time together, he had a good understanding of Xia Zhiqing's character. If she disliked someone from the bottom of her heart, it was true disdain. If his confession failed, Xia Zhiqing would likely continue to avoid him, and he didn't want the situation to escalate to that point. Now, seeing Xia Zhiqing's attitude, he felt even more fortunate that his choice was not wrong. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to see Zhizhing now, let alone practice together with her. When Bailing Hongzhuang arrived at the meditation hall, she immediately noticed that something was off between Bai Junyu and Xia Zhiqing, furrowing her brows in concern. The three beasts also came to the meditation hall with Bailing Hongzhuang today. They had never seen the meditation hall of the Vermillion Bird Sect before, so they were very curious. Therefore, when Bailing Hongzhuang set off from Emperor Beichen's palace to the meditation hall, they immediately requested to come along with her. Bailing Hongzhuang didn't mind, as the three beasts had always been with her. "Wow, this meditation hall looks really magnificent!" Little Black's eyes gleamed with astonishment. Seeing the densely packed practitioners sitting here gave a grand feeling at first glance. "Indeed, it's worthy of being the world-renowned Tian Gang Sect. This is quite an impressive display," Little White couldn't help but exclaim. They had seen a lot in their travels, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Perhaps their understanding of sects was still stuck in ancient times, which made everything they saw now feel incredibly novel. "It feels like practicing here would be a very interesting thing to do," White Lion's two big eyes sparkled. Could it be that their master and Emperor Beichen had said that practicing here would enhance their cultivation?
