The deep phoenix eyes of Baili Hongzhuang revealed understanding and derision. Now she understood.
So Ling Jiaxin was also one of Dai Yunyang's people. No wonder she showed such deep hostility as soon as she saw Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang had been at Canglan Academy for half a month already, but she hadn't seen Dai Yunyang himself. Instead, there were one lackey after another.
"This Dai Yunyang is really persistent!" Little Black showed a disgusted expression. "If he has the ability, he should come himself. Why does he always send useless people?"
"Maybe Dai Yunyang enjoys the feeling of calling people out," Little White rubbed its round chin and pondered.
Listening to the conversation between Little Black and Little White, a smile appeared on Baili Hongzhuang's lips.
"So, she's another one of Dai Yunyang's dogs." Baili Hongzhuang's eyes gleamed with sharpness, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "If Dai Yunyang wants trouble, he should come himself. I don't have the time to deal with every Tom, Dick, and Harry."
Baili Hongzhuang was not polite at all. When Dai Zhiman had caused trouble for her in the past, and now Dai Yunyang was coming to bother her again, it seemed that she and the Dai family were just incompatible.
However... always sending people like Luan Jingkun to provoke her had worn out her patience.
"Dog?" Ling Jiaxin's voice became sharper, filled with hatred as she stared at Baili Hongzhuang. How dare this woman call her a dog?
"Baili Hongzhuang! I am Yunyang's woman!"
Ling Jiaxin's voice rang out loudly, her almost hysterical appearance attracting the attention of many cultivators in the marketplace.
People looked over curiously, thinking that there might be some excitement to watch in the marketplace.
Ling Jiaxin was on the verge of a breakdown. She was not one of those lackeys who followed Yunyang around; she was Yunyang's woman!
It was precisely because of this status that almost no one in the academy dared to offend her.
Even the specially admitted students would give her some face when they saw her. Yet, this Baili Hongzhuang dared to treat her as if she were nothing!
"Oh?" Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a faint smile, a hint of surprise and doubt appearing in her eyes. "So you're Yunyang's woman? Why haven't I heard that Yunyang has gotten married?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a layer of frost instantly covered Ling Jiaxin's proud face, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
This was the most painful point for her!
Although she was willing to be Yunyang's woman, and her status as such was well known in the academy, Yunyang had never brought her home. It was always an unofficial and unrecognized relationship.
With Yunyang's position and reputation in the academy, who would dare to say anything to her face?
Yet, this Baili Hongzhuang had the audacity to bring up the matter in front of so many people. It was truly despicable!
"We will be married soon," Ling Jiaxin forced herself to maintain her composure, her voice tinged with suppressed anger.
"Oh... I see." Baili Hongzhuang let out a light laugh. "Then let me congratulate you in advance."
Although it was meant as a congratulatory remark, it sounded sarcastic to Ling Jiaxin's ears.
She knew very well that Yunyang had never brought her home because he hadn't seriously considered marriage. Even so, she was still willing to be Yunyang's woman.
Among the onlookers were many students from Canglan Academy. Seeing Ling Jiaxin and Baili Hongzhuang getting into a conflict, their faces lit up with interest.
Both Baili Hongzhuang and Ling Jiaxin were famous within Canglan Academy. They never expected these two to clash today.
"Baili Hongzhuang killed Dai Zhiman? Is that true or false?"
"According to what they said, it seems that Baili Hongzhuang killed Dai Zhiman before enrolling. I was wondering why Dai Zhiman never entered the academy this year."
"But Dai Zhiman was not weak. How could Baili Hongzhuang, who wasn't even a student at Canglan Academy at the time, kill her?"
