"Hong Zhuang, these are the three people mentioned in the note," Xia Zhiqing said with a smile.
Although she didn't know what Hong Zhuang was planning, she was committed to completing the task entrusted to her.
"Thank you," Hong Zhuang's eyes sparkled with gratitude. She had asked Xia Zhiqing to find these people in order to avoid drawing attention to herself after the auction. She didn't want to alert anyone prematurely, so she had to rely on Xia Zhiqing to locate them.
"Baili Miss, is there something you need from us?" Jiang Pengze asked, though he was still quite puzzled.
Regardless of the situation, Baili Hong Zhuang was recognized as the goddess of the entire academy. Being able to have such close contact with her was already enough to make many people envious.
Baili Hong Zhuang nodded slightly, her lips curling into a gentle and charming smile.
"I have three Tuojing Dans here. Are you willing to buy them at the price you wrote on the note?"
Since Ling Jiaxin wanted to frame her using the Tuojing Dan, she also wanted to prove its effectiveness through others.
Upon hearing Baili Hong Zhuang's words, Jiang Pengze and the others were surprised. This unexpected offer left them momentarily unsure how to respond.
"Baili Miss, are you telling the truth?" Jiang Pengze's breath quickened, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Baili Hong Zhuang nodded her head gently. "Of course, it's true."
"We are definitely willing, but Baili Miss, why did you call us here instead of auctioning them at the event? Wouldn't that be better?" Jiang Pengze asked, voicing his doubts. The other two beside him also looked at Baili Hong Zhuang curiously. The situation seemed strange.
Baili Hong Zhuang smiled slightly. "I understand your doubts, but the truth is, I have no other choice."
Xia Zhiqing and Bai Junyu also sparkled with curiosity in their eyes. They still didn't understand what Hong Zhuang was planning to do.
"Are you aware of the enmity between Ling Jiaxin and Liu Jingkun with me?"
Baili Hong Zhuang's face exuded a gentle and soft radiance, her whole demeanor as soothing as moonlight, giving people a pleasant and delightful feeling.
Everyone couldn't help but listen attentively as Baili Hong Zhuang explained in detail. What the goddess said must be true.
"We know."
"To be honest, even Wei Meidai has conflicts with me. That's why the three of them used false names, hoping to successfully obtain the Tuojing Dan through the auction."
Jiang Pengze and the others were surprised. They hadn't expected Wei Meidai to have conflicts with Baili Hong Zhuang as well.
In that case, the auction today seemed to be filled with conspiracy at every turn.
"I believe that after they successfully obtain the Tuojing Dan, they will likely claim that my Tuojing Dan is ineffective, a fake pill. Therefore, I have prepared three additional Tuojing Dans to sell to you. Once you confirm their effectiveness, you can help clear my name as well."
As Baili Hong Zhuang's words fell, everyone's eyes widened. They had already suspected that Ling Jiaxin and the others had ill intentions, but they didn't expect them to come up with such a malicious plan.
"Ling Jiaxin and the others are too treacherous!" Xia Zhiqing said indignantly.
She finally understood why Hong Zhuang had taken this approach. If Ling Jiaxin and the others hadn't done this, it would have been fine. But if they really did, and Hong Zhuang was unprepared, she would truly be left defenseless.
