Upon seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's unwavering confidence, Shao Zifan felt somewhat relieved. He had witnessed her strength before and understood that she was not weak in combat.
Since Bai Li Hongzhuang had made her decision, he decided to support her.
"Bai Li Hongzhuang, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come!" a sharp mocking voice sounded from the crowd, and it was undoubtedly Dai Zhiman speaking.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Li Hongzhuang ascended the platform, her eyes falling on Dai Zhiman across from her.
Dai Zhiman was still dressed in a red gown, resembling a blooming peony, exuding an air of nobility.
Just by standing there, she emitted an unmistakable air of aristocratic arrogance. The pride etched between her brows and eyes was unapologetically displayed.
"Do you think everyone is as cowardly as you?" Bai Li Hongzhuang spoke calmly, her voice like the gentle flow of a mountain stream, pleasant and clear.
Unlike Dai Zhiman's domineering tone, Bai Li Hongzhuang's words were enough to make people feel suffocated!
"Bai Li Hongzhuang, you're really incorrigible. You're still stubborn even now," Dai Zhiman said angrily.
She had thought that after a night of contemplation, Bai Li Hongzhuang would realize how foolish her challenge was, but Bai Li Hongzhuang hadn't changed at all.
"You haven't even fought yet, but you're already asserting that I will lose. Isn't it too early?" Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at Dai Zhiman indifferently. Compared to Dai Zhiman's arrogance, Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared nonchalant.
In comparison, Bai Li Hongzhuang clearly had the upper hand.
Dai Zhiman's father, Dai Tianxiong, looked at the composed Bai Li Hongzhuang. After hearing about the conflict between Dai Zhiman and Bai Li Hongzhuang yesterday, he felt that the situation had become somewhat tricky.
He had originally not intended to intervene in the conflict between the younger generation because it could be considered as mere squabbles among youngsters.
But a duel on the Life and Death Arena was a matter concerning life and death.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Bai Li Hongzhuang's current status was very sensitive.
She was the Princess Consort of the Imperial City, a divine physician, a mentor personally invited by the Canglan Academy, and on top of that, she was Bai Lizhentao's daughter. When these identities were combined, Bai Li Hongzhuang was not someone to be trifled with.
Although the relationship between Bai Lizhentao and Bai Li Hongzhuang had always been bad, with Bai Lizhentao's daughter being the most outstanding among the younger generation, he believed that Bai Lizhentao's attitude must have undergone some changes. They had always valued the younger generation's strength.
If Bai Li Hongzhuang had displayed such strength from the beginning, her position wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
"Bai Li Hongzhuang, did you prevent Zhiman from acquiring the Bone Cleansing Pill yesterday?" Dai Tianxiong's voice deepened as he spoke.
This was the part that he was most dissatisfied with.
How precious was the Bone Cleansing Pill?
If Zhiman had obtained the Bone Cleansing Pill yesterday, her cultivation talent would have improved once again, and she would have performed better at Canglan Academy. Yet, all of this was ruined by Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Upon hearing this, a mischievous smile curled up at the corner of Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips. "At the auction, the highest bidder wins. She couldn't outbid me, so she lost. How does that make me the one who harmed her? General Dai's logic is truly incomprehensible."
"Even if that's the case, intentionally humiliating Zhiman with each bid, coin by coin, isn't it?" Dai Tianxiong's voice sank, and a hint of threat emerged.
