Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a faint smile. It seemed that Han Xilin had indeed spread quite a few rumors about her in the Tian Gang Sect.
If it weren't for Han Xilin's interference, these disciples probably wouldn't have shown such expressions upon seeing her.
Baili Hongzhuang was indifferent to the scrutiny of others. The more she evaded, the more suspicious it would make people feel. It was better to remain calm and composed, which would raise doubts about Han Xilin's words.
This visit to the Tian Gang Sect was a game between her and Han Xilin. Although this was a familiar place for Han Xilin, the ultimate winner was yet to be determined.
"So, this is Baili Hongzhuang? No wonder the Young Sect Master is so infatuated with her. Such a beauty, which man wouldn't be moved?"
The male disciples of the Tian Gang Sect observed Baili Hongzhuang, excitement gleaming in their eyes.
Even though Baili Hongzhuang hadn't said a word, just by looking at her temperament, they didn't find her as unbearable as Han Xilin claimed.
Male disciples were not as easily misled by Han Xilin's words as the female disciples. In their eyes, the Young Sect Master's judgment couldn't be wrong.
The Young Sect Master was impeccable from any perspective. The person he liked couldn't be lacking in any way.
Otherwise, if the Young Sect Master's heart had been stolen by another woman, how could he have remained indifferent to Han Xilin for so many years?
In contrast to the excitement of the male disciples, the female disciples sniffed in disdain.
"You bunch of superficial people who judge solely by appearance. I think Senior Sister Han is stronger than this Baili Hongzhuang, at least Senior Sister Han is remarkably powerful.
Apart from her looks, Baili Hongzhuang probably doesn't have any other qualities. If it weren't for her association with the Young Sect Master, she would just be an ordinary person from a small dynasty."
"Senior Sister Han is absolutely right. The Young Sect Master actually brought Baili Hongzhuang with him. I can't accept that."
The female disciples shook their heads one after another. They had put in a lot of effort to become disciples of the Tian Gang Sect, and it felt unfair that Baili Hongzhuang could simply enter without doing anything.
Although the discussions among the practitioners around were low, Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen, as cultivators, could still hear them clearly.
Di Beichen's brows furrowed, a displeased expression clouding his handsome face, his eyes dark and deep like water.
Even though he had already anticipated that there would be many practitioners discussing Hongzhuang within the sect, he never expected Han Xilin to paint such a negative picture of her.
At this moment, Di Beichen truly understood that Han Xilin was far from the simple person he had previously thought she was.
He couldn't tell if it was because so much had changed in these past few years or because he had never paid much attention to Han Xilin before.
For him, in the past, he had only focused on cultivation at his master's insistence, aiming to lead the Tian Gang Sect to greater strength under his master's guidance.
Apart from that, matters of love and romance had never occupied his mind.
Even though everyone said that he and Han Xilin were a perfect match, he had never taken it seriously until he met Baili Hongzhuang.
It turned out that many things in this world were destined by fate.
Before encountering the right person, everything was illusory. But once you met them, it became a true lifelong bond.
He and Baili Hongzhuang were destined by heaven's decree.
