She didn't hear any news for the whole morning, so she thought that it was just Hongzhuang overthinking. She finally started to relax for a bit, but who knew that the news would come in now.
Plus those three people who are making the rumor worst than it already was, the rumor was spread throughout the whole school in a short period of time.
Ever since the day that the auction was announced to the day that Ling Jiaxin and a few others bought the Channel Opening Pill, everyone wanted to know what effects did the pill have.
Since the market stall's owner left right after he received the Channeling Opening Pill, no one knew what effects the Pill had.
Because of this, everyone was very interested in the effects of this Channel Opening Pill.
When they heard malicious words, slandering the Channel Opening Pill from Ling Jiaxin and a few others, many of the students believed in their words.
With a blink of an eye, this news has already been spread throughout the whole school.
Seeing how worried and angry Xia Zhiqing was, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but finding it funny.
She has already told Zhiqing about the things that might happen today, but Zhiqing was still angry to this point.
If she didn't tell Zhiqing what would happen today, she wonders what emotions Zhiqing would be going through then.
When Little Black and Little White heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
They were not worried about this matter happening. They just wanted to feel the excitement of chaos!
They have been waiting for a whole morning now, and this good show was finally about to happen.
The Baishi who was laying on the bed was also suddenly filled with spirit. Then he curiously looked towards Xia Zhiqing. He actually also loves to watch exciting things happen.
"Zhiqing, don’t be angry. Didn't we already predict this?"
Said Baili Hongzhuang calmly with a soft smile.
Clearly, this news didn't surprise her at all.
Seeing how calm and tranquil Baili Hongzhuang was, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but let out a sigh.
If this situation occurred to her, she would definitely run out there and look for the person who slandered her. How would she be able to be calm and tranquil like Baili Hongzhuang.
"I really do admire your calm temperament. If this situation occurred to me, I would definitely not be able to endure it."
After hearing what was said, Baili Hongzhuang let out a laugh, "I never said that I would endure this and do nothing."
She has always followed her morall. If others didn't offend her, then she would offend others. If others offend her, then she will repay the favor hundreds of times more!
Ling Jiaxin and the others have already angered her by looking for her troubles time after another.
Yesterday, she let Dai Yunyang lost a bit of of his strength. Today, she let others see who would be the one to get their reputation ruined.
After seeing the glint of coldness in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes, Xia Zhiqing's expressions changed. She suddenly had a smile on her face.
As it turns out, Hongzhuang has already made plans to teach the people who slandered her a lesson.
"Would you like for me to go contact Jiang Pangze?" asked Xia Zhiqing.
She believes that if there are two groups of people saying the same thing, then others will believe them.
Baili Hongzhuang softly waved her hands and said, "No need, let them make this matter more publicly known. Then after that happens, we will go together."
Although she felt really anxious, after knowing that Baili Hongzhuang had a plan, Xia Zhiqing restrained the anxiousness in her heart.
Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing were discussing about problems that everyone would encounter during cultivation.
In these times, if they interact more with people who are cultivating, they would be able cultivate easier.
Just at this moment, Liu Qinyue came in with her face full of shock and worry as she said, "Brother Gong, Dongfang, something happened."
Hearing what Liu Qinyue said, Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu couldn't help but wrinkle their brows as traces of concern appeared in their eyes.
"What happened?"
"Just now, when I was returning from the Pill Masters Guild, I heard Ling Jiaxin and her group publicly declaring Hongzhuang's pills had no effects and that she cheated them of their money."
The second Liu Qinyue's words were spoken, Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu's expressions both turned unsightly.
"They're simply just making groundless remarks and distorting facts!" Dongfang Yu rose, his attractive face full of anger. They had all consumed Baili Hongzhuang's pills already and the effects were marvelous; not only did their channels widen, but they also increased in firmness and toughness.
The more energy one's meridians can accommodate, the faster one's energy can circulate during battle; thus, the benefits of a Channel Opening Pill was quite obvious.
"They were deceived but are still trying to show off their cleverness!" Gong Shaoqing's voice was icy-cold and his eyes were as dark as black holes. Those troublesome people!
"This matter cannot be discredited as they please. It is extremely disadvantageous to Baili Hongzhuang's reputation, so let's go look."
Anxiety could be seen on Dongfang Yu's face. The longer they drag this out, the more groundless rumors will spread, and the power of such rumors was self-evident. How many people had fallen to rumors? This kind of information would spread rapidly from mouth to mouth until in the blink of an eye, the whole academy would know.
Baili Hongzhuang decided it was about time and left her dorm room. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Dongfang Yu, Gong Shaoqing, and Liu Qinyue swiftly coming down from upstairs.
Before she could speak, Dongfang Yu spoke in a voice filled with concern and tension. "Baili Hongzhuang, have you heard about Ling Jiaxin and her rumors?"
Baili Hongzhuang's beautiful face carried a polite smile. "I've already heard."
"Those despicable people, they're actually blackening your name like that. How loathsome!" When mentioning Ling Jiaxin and her group, Dongfang Yu's face was filled with disgust. Ling Jiaxin and Baili Hongzhuang didn't have any enmity with each other; he couldn't understand why Ling Jiaxin was so aggressively going against her.
"Don't worry, we will definitely stand on your side."
Seeing Dongfang Yu's concern, the look in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes changed a bit. At that moment, Bai Junyu appeared and was also struck speechless by their conversation. He hadn't expected Ling Jinxia to be so shameless; Baili Hongzhuang really was not wrong.
"Let's go and see it first," Gong Shaoqing's deep voice said. "Looks like we'll have to challenge them face-on."
One after another, the rest nodded. They need to go and feel out the situation themselves. Right as they were about to leave, the door next to Baili Hongzhuang's room opened.
Dibei Chen's lips held a mesmerizing and mischievous smile, his posture lazy and leisurely. "Looks like trouble has arrived?"
At his words, everyone's expressions changed. Something they were all reluctant to do, when coming from Dibei Chen's mouth, why did it sound like they were going to watch a good show?
However, what he said was something only Baili Hongzhuang understood. They were the only ones who had a complete grasp on the situation, so naturally, he knew she had a solution.
Dongfang Yu's handsome brows wrinkled, the eyes he looked at Dibei Chen with brimmed with queries and dissatisfaction.
"Baili Hongzhuang is your wife, how can you be so indifferent to her problems? Don't you know how harmful this matter is to Baili Hongzhuang's reputation?"
Dongfang Yu was no longer able to restrain himself. Baili Hongzhuang was a unique kind of woman who was cherished greatly by those close to her..
Although Di Beichen was an outstanding person, Baili Hongzhuang was unaffected by it. He really was pitiful for Baili Hongzhuang.
When Dongfang Yu's voice dropped , everybody present was astonished .
Who would have thought that mild-mannered Dongfang Yu would attack somebody? Not only that, but the person he was attacking was Di Beichen!
Di Beichen's jet black pupils peered at Dongfang Yu from the corner of his eyes, and a hint of frostiness emanated from his bewitching face.
Dibei Chen's words held a hint of danger . Dongfang Yu coveting Baili Hongzhuang had already left him quite displeased.
And now that same Dongfang Yu had the gall to rebuke him?
Taking Baili Hongzhuang into consideration, Dibei Chen did not want to destroy the friendship between them. However, this did not mean he would take Dongfang Yu's attack lying down!
Dongfang Yu's anger increased at Dibei Chen's words.
He didn't expect Dibei Chen would not only not reflect on his own negligence, , but also speak to him like this..
Dibei Chen's words had also hit Dongfang Yu's weak point.
Yeah! Who was he to be in a position to say such things?
Xia Zhiqing watched the scene before her. She didn't expect Dongfang Yu and Dibei Chen to be so riled up in a conflict, not giving each other an inch.
Her eyes were wide open; was this a dispute between a lover and husband?
Liu Qinyue's expression was complex, and her beautiful eyes revealed astonishment.
She had felt, before, that Dongfang Yu was too passionate, and his treatment of other women was different.
When they were in the Falling Cloud Mountains, Dongfang Yu had thought that Baili Hongzhuang had fallen and had fallen into a state of fury. It was the very first time that she had seen Dongfang Yu looking that angry.
After that incident, she felt that Dongfang Yu had treated Baili Hongzhuang differently.
When they returned to the school, Liu Qinyue found that Dongfang Yu acted strangely around Baili Hongzhuang.
Having known Dongfang Yu for some time now, she had a pretty decent understanding of his character.
Dongfang Yu was generally polite to everybody. It was exactly this kind of temperament that made it hard to get close to him.
This was because there was nobody he treated specially.
Ever since Baili Hongzhuang had appeared in his life, she'd held a special place in Dongfang Yu's heart.
Dongfang Yu had received a huge mental blow after finding out that Baili Hongzhuang was married.
Even if Dongfang Yu didn't say anything, a woman's intuition was rather sharp.
Today, amidst all of Dongfang Yu's chaos, he was no longer able to hide his feelings for Baili Hongzhuang.
Little Black sighed, it could really be complex.
The white lion raised its head slightly to look at the two above him, unable to comprehend the choice made by its master. What was Little Black trying to do by kicking up such a fuss?
Seeing the situation escalate like this, Gong Shaoqing couldn't help but say, "Dongfang Yu isn't trying to be malicious, Dibei Chen. He's just worried about Baili Hongzhuang; don't take it to heart."
"Are you saying that I shouldn't care about my wife?"
