Bai Xi's gaze flashed in changes and finally, an innocent smile appeared on her face.
"Maybe jiejie saw that our progress is so slow and was worried that we wouldn't have a place to stay for the night, so she did it on purpose?" She looked in Bai Lin's direction as if she trusted her. "Jiejie is such a good person."
It more or less dampened everyone's originally happy mood.
They were all elites from various fields. How could they admit that they were inferior to a young girl? That they have to rely on her charity to survive?
Furthermore, based on their understanding of Bai Lin, it was not impossible for her to humiliate them in such a way.
These two sentences caused the originally happy crowd to more or less hate Bai Lin.
Elites like them liked fools and hated people who were smarter than them. Not to mention, it was Bai Lin, someone they had never thought highly of.
