As soon as those words were spoken, Wei Meidai was completely stunned.
She had intended to threaten Baili Hongzhuang, but now she found herself being threatened instead?
The people around witnessed this scene and couldn't help but show expressions of amusement.
While they were used to seeing Wei Meidai bullying others, this was the first time they had seen someone make Wei Meidai back down.
"I think you're the one asking for a beating!" Baili Hongzhuang's words ignited Wei Meidai's anger completely.
In an instant, Wei Meidai's face turned red, and her gaze became fierce. Without hesitation, she swung her hand, aiming a slap directly at Baili Hongzhuang's face!
Witnessing this, a cold gleam flashed in Baili Hongzhuang's deep, unfathomable eyes.
Her right hand swiftly reached out and landed a heavy slap on Wei Meidai's face before her palm could connect!
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of the slap was exceptionally clear in the typically quiet Alchemist Guild.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't believe that the girl who had just arrived actually slapped Wei Meidai!
"Who is this girl? How dare she hit Wei Meidai!"
"I haven't seen her before, but she has a remarkable appearance and extraordinary temperament. She shouldn't be an ordinary person."
"Have you heard of Baili Hongzhuang from Canglan Academy, who possesses the Expanding Meridian Pill? She wears a white dress, exuding elegance and incomparable beauty. This girl's image matches perfectly."
As the name Baili Hongzhuang was mentioned, a realization dawned upon the onlookers' faces.
The members of the Alchemist Guild weren't particularly interested in cultivators; their focus was on alchemy.
Therefore, they might not know about any other cultivation geniuses emerging from Canglan Academy, but Baili Hongzhuang, who possessed the Expanding Meridian Pill, had earned a renowned reputation in the Alchemist Guild.
However, they never expected Baili Hongzhuang to be so young.
"You're right. This girl is highly likely to be Baili Hongzhuang!"
Once Baili Hongzhuang's identity was confirmed, the anticipation in everyone's eyes grew even stronger.
It seemed that this was destined to be an interesting show.
Wei Meidai stood in place, dazed, feeling a burning pain on her right cheek.
Underneath that scorching pain, she felt a deep sense of humiliation.
She had lived arrogantly for so many years, always the one slapping others, never the one being slapped!
However, this woman dared to hit her?
In that instant, a look of utmost madness appeared in Wei Meidai's eyes, and the curious gazes from the people around only further fueled her anger.
"I'll kill you!"
Filled with extreme fury, Wei Meidai disregarded her image and directly lunged at Baili Hongzhuang.
As soon as Wei Meidai made a move, Baili Hongzhuang knew that this girl had focused all her energy on studying alchemy and wasn't proficient in cultivation, making her incapable of posing any threat.
"Bang!"
Baili Hongzhuang swiftly grabbed Wei Meidai's hands and pressed them against the counter, restraining her.
A bewitching and charming smile bloomed on Baili Hongzhuang's exquisite and beautiful face, but her eyes were sharp as knives, resembling a lightning bolt tearing through the void. Her voice was cold and indifferent.
"While I'm trying to have a civilized conversation, don't disturb me. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
Wei Meidai stood there, stunned, looking at the delicate and extraordinary face before her with horror. She felt a chill rising from her feet to her spine, sending a shiver down her spine.
Seeing fear and nervousness flicker in Wei Meidai's eyes, Baili Hongzhuang released her grip, standing indifferently by the side.
She had never liked to trouble herself unnecessarily, but at the same time, she never feared trouble.
